The duty nurse heard the commotion and rushed over, asking what was going on. I struggled to explain, finally settling on saying that the patient had a nightmare. The nurse glanced at us with some dissatisfaction and said, "Having a nightmare is no excuse for making this much noise. He's not a child. Tell him to quiet down; it's late, and he might disturb the other patients."
Feeling guilty about the situation, I could only nod in response. After the nurse closed the door, Guo Senior continued to shout nervously. I completely lost my patience and pressed him down onto the bed, saying loudly, "Look at me! Look at me! I'll tell you one more time: no one has come! You're just having a nightmare! Do you understand?"
Maybe my voice was loud enough, or perhaps Guo Senior had finally woken up; he stopped shouting but continued to tremble uncontrollably. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and I was exhausted as well, sitting beside him and panting. After a while, I caught a whiff of something strange.
Upon closer inspection, I realized the smell was coming from Guo Senior's groin. I said irritably, "How long has it been since you showered? Your pants are disgusting."
Guo Senior had calmed down from his nightmare. Upon hearing my words, he instinctively pulled down his pants to take a look and then screamed again. The sound nearly deafened me, and I couldn't help but step back and say, "Are you out of your mind?"
Guo Senior stared blankly at me, stuttering as he pointed at his groin, looking like he was about to cry. "Blood, blood, it's all blood..."
I froze for a moment and quickly ran over to him. Bending down to look closely, I saw that his entire groin area was covered in blood. Startled, I asked him, "Did your hemorrhoids flare up?"
"I didn't, I didn't..." Guo Senior trembled as he replied.
Regardless of whether he did or not, we needed to call a doctor or nurse to check it out. The doctor came over and examined him for a while before suddenly pulling me outside and asking, "Are you the patient's friend?"
I replied, "I'm his classmate; I'm here helping to take care of him."
The doctor frowned as if he wanted to say something but felt it wasn't appropriate to share with me. Frustrated by the situation, I said, "What do you want to say? I'm close with his family; you can tell me."
After hesitating for a moment, the doctor asked an awkward question: "Did the patient just... engage in any self-satisfaction activities?"
I was taken aback; I hadn't expected him to ask that. Since he had brought it up, there was no point in hiding anything anymore. He continued, "I found some kind of liquid mixed with blood between the patient's fingers. According to what you've said, he shouldn't have touched himself all night. So where did these substances come from? If he just lifted his pants to take a look, he wouldn't have encountered these things."
I immediately understood what the doctor meant but felt puzzled: "Even if you're right about that, what's with the blood?"
The doctor explained, "Semen is derived from blood; just like breast milk comes from blood as well. The patient is already in a severe state of kidney deficiency but continues to indulge himself without restraint. He has long since depleted all his vital energy; therefore, what's coming out is just blood."
I completely understood and couldn't help but sigh. The doctor advised me to talk to him more; after all, he's young and has a long life ahead of him. He shouldn't ruin his entire life because of momentary desires. I had just said something similar to Guo Senior not long ago. I didn't expect him to forget it so quickly.
The doctor's words indirectly confirmed that what I saw outside the ward—Guo Senior engaging in inappropriate behavior—was not just speculation. This guy is really out of his mind! And he still blames Senior Sister for having strong desires? Acting like he was having nightmares? In my opinion, they are truly a perfect match! I was furious; what was all this commotion in the middle of the night? And such disgusting matters—what bad luck!
At that moment, I thought about leaving directly, but then I remembered he was my first client. Fine, I'll endure it for one night; once His Father and Mother arrive, nothing will hold me back.
During the latter half of the night, nothing much happened; Guo Senior remained very quiet. I dozed off at the edge of the bed and when I woke up, it was already bright outside. Looking up, Guo Senior was still leaning against the wall, motionless. His eyes were calm, and his expression was indifferent. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling, I would have thought he was dead.
Not long after, his parents arrived, and I couldn't be bothered to say much; I slipped away.
When I got to class, Liang Xi asked where I had been last night. I replied, "Don't ask; if you do, I'll throw up on you."
Liang Xi looked confused for a moment and then quietly asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Hearing this honest person say something so absurd left me speechless. I turned to him and asked, "Have you ever seen a man get pregnant? Did a cat steal your brain?"
Liang Xi chuckled and scratched his head habitually, saying, "Isn't your family selling Amulets? I thought they had some special powers."
I was dead tired and didn't want to talk to him anymore; I just laid my head down on the desk and fell asleep. I slept until the afternoon and when I woke up, it was almost time for school to end. Furious, I kicked Liang Xi. Not only did he not call me during class, but he also didn't call me for lunch?
He looked a bit innocent and said, "I called you; when you didn't wake up, I went by myself. But there’s food left for you on the desk."
I looked down and saw a lunch box there; immediately, I made an apologetic expression towards him. Liang Xi smiled foolishly but didn’t say anything.
As soon as school ended in the afternoon, I hurriedly took out the lunch box. When Liang Xi saw that I was about to eat, he urged me to go to the cafeteria for hot food. Starving as I was, I didn’t want to move an inch and asked him to bring back another portion for me.
Liang Xi agreed with a sound and was about to leave when suddenly we heard commotion outside. He ran over to the window to take a look and then rushed back to pull me along, saying, "Stop eating! Someone jumped off a building!"
"Why should that concern me? Let me fill my stomach first!" I shouted but couldn’t resist being dragged out by him.
Jumping off buildings isn’t exactly new in college. Those who struggle academically jump; those with relationship problems jump; those who owe money jump—there are always plenty of reasons when someone decides to end their life. Clutching my lunch box as I ran while eating, when we reached the scene of the incident, we found a large crowd gathered. So I asked, "Who jumped? Why?"
Someone who knew the situation said, "It's a love dispute. I heard that a senior from the fourth year had an argument with Senior Sister and, in a fit of rage, stabbed her to death before jumping off himself."
Wow, that's brutal. I thought to myself, and before I could even take a bite of my meal, I heard someone say, "I found out that the one who stabbed and jumped was Guo Xueming from the Business Department! I heard he's usually quite honest; I didn't expect him to be so impulsive."
Upon hearing this, I was stunned. Business Department, fourth year, Guo Xueming? That sounds so familiar... After thinking for a moment, I realized this was Guo Senior!
I didn’t even care about eating anymore; I shoved my lunchbox into Liang Xi's hands and squeezed my way into the crowd. After much effort, I finally made it to the inner circle and saw someone lying in front of the teaching building. His legs were broken, positioned like a ballet dancer's, with his backside poking up to his head. Blood was foaming from his mouth, and his head was smashed against the concrete ground, almost flattened, with blood-soaked brain matter barely visible. Before the school doctor could arrive, he had already stopped moving. When he died, his face was turned towards me; I could see clearly that it was indeed Guo Senior!
On his face, I saw no pain or fear—only a sense of relief and that strange smile. After killing someone and then committing suicide, he could still smile?
But wasn't he in the hospital? How did he end up at school stabbing someone?
More and more people gathered around to watch, discussing why such a thing happened. Just from what I overheard nearby, there were already two or three different versions. Some said it was because the woman cheated; others claimed the man was being cuckolded or that it involved financial disputes—even mentioning something about an abortion.
The person stabbed by Guo Senior turned out to be Senior Sister. She was severely injured and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. I couldn't understand why this had happened.
This incident had a very negative impact that year; to prevent similar occurrences, the school even started prohibiting college students from dating on campus. If discovered, immediate expulsion would follow!
The only good news was that the wounds inflicted by Guo Senior were not fatal. Although there was a lot of blood loss, after emergency treatment, Senior Sister managed to survive against all odds. Upon hearing this news, I immediately felt compelled to find out more. With Guo Senior dead, I could only try to understand the ins and outs of this incident through Senior Sister. I had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
However, on the day I went to the hospital a week later, I saw Guo Senior's parents yelling angrily at the hospital room. Strictly speaking, it was both families' parents arguing with each other.
