On the snow-white hospital bed, Ding Yinuo was lying quietly, his eyes tightly shut. If it wasn't for the various tubes that were attached to his body, he would look like he was just asleep.
I quietly walk over to him, taking his hand into mine and clasping the golden trophy.
I softly call out to him by his ear.
"Yinuo, I'm back! Look, I won the award. You were right, we really did win! Touch this, half of this trophy is yours!"
"Yinuo, Ding Yinuo, can you open your eyes and look at me, please?"
I called out to him for quite a long time, but Ding Yinuo remained quietly immobilized, not responding at all.
Perhaps he sensed my emotional fervour.
Wenya quickly came forward to calm me down.
"Ayun! Don't be too anxious, he may be gradually recovering, it takes time. You should be more patient with him too, okay?"
I nodded,.
"I know! I just...I just sincerely hope that he can get better sooner."
The truth is, I felt more guilt than anything else.
