After getting ashore, I couldn’t move. A carried me on his back and ran all the way to find a doctor. There was no hospital on the island we were on, only a few small clinics selling medicine. The nurse bandaged Fu Yan’s arm and checked my ankle. Suspecting a bone dislocation, she did some simple cleaning and immobilization and suggested I go to the hospital on the nearest island for treatment.

To get to that hospital, we had to take a speedboat for half an hour first, then a car for more than twenty minutes. I was carried up and down several times along the way. During the whole process, I felt my right foot was ruined. My ankle became more and more painful and swollen. By the time we arrived at the hospital, it had swollen to twice its usual size. After taking an X-ray, the doctor found it was indeed a bone dislocation and needed to be set immediately. I heard bone setting is very painful, so I was a bit scared. Brother Egg went to buy food. A and Fu Yan tried hard to find some light topics to distract me, but I was almost collapsing from pain, how could I be in the mood for their cold jokes.

The doctor set my bone when I wasn’t paying attention. It hurt so much that I let out a heart-wrenching scream. A was startled and quickly held my hand. I felt like my bones were about to be crushed by him.

“Are you trying to break my hand?” I asked him weakly. He quickly let go of my hand.

After the bone setting, my head was covered in sweat from the pain. I lay on the hospital bed, not wanting to move at all. A took wet wipes to wipe my sweat. Fu Yan sat aside. None of the three of us spoke. I felt the atmosphere was particularly weird. I thought if the person with the dislocated bone was Fu Yan, at this moment A could openly pity and cherish the “white moonlight” in his heart. Taking this rare opportunity to pour out his heart and express his feelings, those deep affections accumulated over many years could also be revealed a little. And me? I might be standing awkwardly aside, watching the person I love deeply being inseparable from another person, just like the role I have played in this love for many years, in a dilemma.

However, God still has a trace of compassion. To avoid letting me experience that scene, He chose to let me be the one lying in bed. The difference is that A wouldn’t whisper sweet nothings to me in front of Fu Yan.

No, it should be, the difference is that A wouldn’t whisper sweet nothings to me.

Brother Egg bought some food back. I ate a little casually. The doctor called me to get a cast. Basically, after tossing and turning for a day, I became a person who could only walk by dragging a big piece of plaster and leaning on crutches. The doctor said actually I could go back to the hotel that night, but if I was worried, I could also stay in the hospital for one night. A said to stay in the hospital, and he would accompany me at night.

I didn’t care. Anyway, he wouldn’t be able to accompany me many more times.

In the evening, Fu Yan found an opportunity to send Brother Egg and A away. Since getting ashore today, I felt he had something to say to me.

Fu Yan sat by my bed, his expression very guilty: “I’m sorry.”

I shook my head and said: “Today’s matter has nothing to do with you.”

Indeed, it had nothing to do with him. Going to save him was A’s choice. It had nothing to do with anyone else. No one held a knife to A’s neck forcing him to do so.

Fu Yan sighed and said: “I don’t mean today. I mean all along, I’ve been sorry to you. Knowing your relationship clearly, knowing clearly… yet still getting so close to him.”

“Knowing clearly that he likes you?” I smiled lightly and said, “From today on, whether he likes you or not, whether you want to respond to him or not, has nothing to do with me. If you two get together one day, I will also bless you, but I probably don’t want to know, not interested.”

Fu Yan was a bit surprised by my answer. He was silent for a while and said: “I think he likes you, it’s just that he himself doesn’t know.”

“But he likes you more.” My voice was particularly calm.

A sought Fu Yan but couldn’t get him; I sought A but couldn’t get him. What a cycle of retribution, one thing conquers another.

I don’t know what story happened between A and Fu Yan before. Maybe they were childhood sweethearts who couldn’t be together for some reason in the end. Or maybe A had a unrequited love for Fu Yan all his life, silently dedicating himself, doing good deeds without asking for the future. If the protagonist of this post were changed to Fu Yan, you might praise A for being infatuated and feel A is not worth it.

If you ask me what feelings Fu Yan has for A, I don’t know either. After all, I’m not familiar with him. But I think if there is love in it, it must not be as much as I used to love. Otherwise, apart from not loving enough, I really can’t think of any other reason why they have known each other for more than ten years but have never been together. Of course, I think Fu Yan should be a straight guy. His feelings for A are probably more of a friendship of many years. Otherwise, why has he always had girlfriends?

But these seem to have nothing to do with me anymore. Their story belongs to them. My story of five years added together might not compare to a glance or a smile from Fu Yan in A’s eyes.

Probably there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. I suddenly felt there was nothing to be nostalgic about. At this moment, I just felt very aggrieved. I dislocated a bone in a foreign land, but the person beside me was not my closest person, the person who loved me the most. I just really wanted to go home.

[1st Floor] Fan Diao da Beauty: Fu Yan knew A had a boyfriend but still liked him, and still got so close to A, which is also a bit shameless.

[2nd Floor] April You Guang: I actually think Fu Yan’s behavior is normal. After all, being childhood sweethearts with A, it must be hard to abandon such a good friend, right? Actually, from Fu Yan’s perspective, A might just be a buddy who treats him very well and grew up with him.

[3rd Floor] Ni Song Zui Mei: Anyway, I don’t like Fu Yan much…

[4th Floor] Raxy: Anyway, I prefer Brother Egg…

…………

[10th Floor] Strawberry Flavored Pineapple: Xiaoxi, let’s go home! Take you to see the wind, the sea, and the moonlight!

[11th Floor] Mu Xi: Is the person above male or female?

[12th Floor] Strawberry Flavored Pineapple: Female Y(^_^)Y

By the way, I want to complain about the doctor who set my bone. He is Chinese, looks quite young, speaks Chinese. At first, I was a bit worried if he could set it well.

At that time, weren’t A and Fu Yan telling cold jokes beside me? I was roaring inside: I’m in so much pain, what are you two babbling about??

The doctor first held my ankle and looked at it for a while, sighing: “You kids, playing without knowing the severity. Last time there was someone about your age, playing jumping into the sea from a cliff, played until his toe bone cracked.”

A stood aside and replied for me: “He wasn’t playing, he was…”

“Didn’t ask you, don’t interrupt.” The doctor rolled his eyes at A and continued to look at me asking, “What were you playing to get injured?”

I thought for a while and said: “Didn’t…”

Before I could finish my sentence, the doctor held my foot with both hands and twisted it with a crack. Before I could react, a sudden severe pain came from my foot, and the bone was set. I howled in pain, but after the bone was set, the pain indeed decreased compared to before. The doctor clapped his hands and looked at A and Fu Yan with a face of disdain: “This is called distracting the patient’s attention. Yours is called awkward chatting.”

My mood, which had been depressed for a day, finally brightened up at that moment. Couldn’t tell that this little doctor was very professional, and also very professional at roasting people.

[1st Floor] Running Snail: Hahaha, the doctor is so cute~!

[2nd Floor] Mu Xi: Xiaoxi, why not ask for the doctor’s phone number? See if you can turn him gay (Anyway, now I think any man is better than A).
