Cartoonist's Dream

Until not long ago, Li Mu was still talking about things in England with Wang Bingyu and the others, but now he suddenly received a phone call that made him worry.

——What's the matter, it's just before the meal?

Very few people know their mobile phone numbers, and even acquaintances who know the basics still call in at this time.

Putting the phone to her ear, Li Mu turned on the call with a little worry.

"—Youth, youth, youth! Sister Lu Hui is in trouble!"

The caller was none other than the stalker just mentioned—Wujun Muzi.

Li Mu opened her tense and stiff thin lips and asked:

"……What's up?"

"Heart failure—acute heart failure of the left heart, sister Lu Hui is undergoing emergency treatment in the emergency room for sudden heart failure and shock...!"

"what--!?"

"I mean, sister Lu Hui has acute heart failure and is..."

The voice behind could no longer be heard, and Li Mu, who was screaming out of disbelief, turned her face to the third daughter.

- Come on, what an international joke! ?Is today April Fool's Day?You conspired to bluff me! ?

——It’s November now, there’s more than a month before Christmas, it’s too early to have some fun, isn’t it?

——Don’t make such a joke, their panic should die down when they see me.

... No, Muzi won't play tricks with them to trick me!

If it is true, is it an accident or "another accident" this time...!

No... now is not the time to think about Muzi...

"Ms. Pear Wood?"

Ryoko tilted her head suspiciously.

"...Sorry, I can't go back to dinner with you because of an urgent matter... Just ask in advance. Have you colluded with Muzi?"

"No, what happened?"

"Oh, then——Muzi just called to inform that Lu Hui suddenly went into acute heart failure shock..."

With that said, Li Mu jumped off the sofa in a hurry, said "we'll rush over" to the phone, and immediately called Mo Moxin to arrange the itinerary.

The British student visa has not expired so soon, and the rest is to inquire about flights and book tickets.After all, Limu doesn't have a relevant contact number, so it's more convenient to ask Mo Moxin to do it, and the airline salesperson will send the ticket quickly.

Since you are in a hurry, the fastest way must be to rush to the airport while booking your flight ticket - take the flight to England directly at the airport.

"Pear wood."

When he hurriedly put on his shoes and walked to the building well, Wang Bingyu's voice came from behind Limu.

"Ok?"

Even though he was in a hurry, Li Mu still stopped.Turn around and look.

There it is.Wang Bingyu stood there full of apology.

"Please don't take my slander about Muzi just now..."

As well as Ryoko and Anya who burst into smiles.

"Also - we all wish your loved one a speedy recovery."

The careful woman had already noticed the anomalies, but Limu only glanced at them briefly, and didn't dare to face them and them seriously...Under the swaying towering tree, there were still muddy roots.

******

An international flight lands at a London airport.

Li Mu rushed out of the hall in three steps and two steps, giving up using other inconvenient means of transportation.Rush into the night sky in the shadows of the inaccessible.

The icy wind blew through his body.

It was even more violent than the day Lu Lingling was sent away.But since it was mid November.The wind is colder today.

In this way, he came to Sherrington Hospital with a pale face from the cold, and galloped all the way to the ward where Wujun Muzi was waiting.

"...Hoo...ha...Mu, Muzi..."

Riki stared at her out of breath——

"Lu... Lu Hui...how is it?"

The news I got before the plane took off was still in the process of being rescued... Now that the plane has changed two times, it is already dark at dusk.It's time for the emergency room to come out anyway.

Looking at his chapped lips, Muzi still refused to tell the result.

"Li Mu-jun, drink some water first..."

She turned around and picked up the teacup to pour water, Li Mu interrupted loudly.

"—Tell me quickly, what happened to Lu Hui!"

puff puff.

At that moment, Muzi almost lost his grip on the kettle.

"Lu Hui, sister Lu Hui... has already left. Heart diseases are generally difficult to find, and sister Lu Hui is a person who can't speak. Auntie Shu didn't find out until her breathing stopped..."

At this point, Muzi has nothing to hide.

I wanted to talk in detail, but after only a few words, Li Mu's face turned pale, like ashes.

"It's not true!"

Limu screamed, grabbed Muzi's shoulder and said:

"You tell me 'it's not true'! Tell me, please tell me, tell me it's not true, Lu Hui, Lu Hui...how could she die——!"

Shouting, he lost all strength and collapsed as if struck by lightning.

Muzi let out an "ah", and before he had time to put down the teapot and cup, he immediately hugged the little lover's arm, and slowly supported him to sit beside Lu Hui's hospital bed.

——Lu Hui, she...

"……died?"

Li Mu was so anxious before that he had no time to think, but now he felt the empty hospital bed, adjusted his breathing and thought about it calmly. ...No, I can't calm down at all.

——Muzi is really joking?

Such an idea just popped up in the emotional right brain.

The rational left brain judges ruthlessly.

——It is absolutely impossible for Muzi to joke about this kind of thing with me.

And then it gets stuck in a cycle of chaos.

——But... Hasn't Lu Hui been fine all the time... Why suddenly...

——Why happened to be ill when Muzi came to visit her?

——Don't make random guesses, if it was Muzi who did the tricks, he should avoid being there.

——But Lu Hui is dead after all...

……

— Muzi isn't going to tell me something?

There were no words of comfort, she just sat beside her silently, waiting quietly with her cup of hot tea in her hands.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and the ward is far and quiet, so Li Mu's endless thoughts can be extended infinitely, giving him enough time to breathe in the astonishment of life.

He sat slumped, gradually concentrating, with the usual thoughtful expression on his face... When he suddenly realized that he was a suspicious ghost, Li Mu couldn't help but glanced at the little woman beside him.

She was wearing a long dress with a small yellow-brown shawl on her shoulders, which was as intimate, warm and clear as Yamato Nadeshiko, and also like the fragrance of bluegrass.In fact, she is not noticeable, but she is unknowingly refreshing.At this moment, he lowered his eyelids, staring intently at the water glass, with a calm and peaceful expression.

The light seemed to be attracted by her, and Li Mu's eyes also stayed on her round face, unable to bear to leave for a long time.

Calculating carefully since Muzi made the phone call until now, she should have stayed in the hospital for more than 12 hours, in other words, she hasn't rested for a long time, and even the rosy face of the baby's fat can't be seen before.The hair under the headband is a little messy, and her expression is slightly tired. She must have had a very hard day today. (To be continued..)
