Chapter 428 Physical Collapse
Chapter 428 Physical Collapse
Lu Jingchen's life had fallen into an endless dark abyss since Jiang Ciyou left. He immersed himself in the anesthesia of alcohol and tobacco, trying to forget the pain that was like a knife cutting, but these things not only did not bring him relief, but instead corroded his body like poison.
At first, he just felt a slight dizziness when he woke up every morning. It was a vague discomfort, like a veil gently covering his head, making his thinking a little slow. He didn't care, just paused for a moment when he got up, then staggered to the living room and continued to look for wine to numb himself. His eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past, but were replaced by a deep confusion and pain.
As time went on, the dizziness became more and more severe. Whenever he stood up or walked a little, the whole room was like a spinning top, making it difficult for him to stand. He began to bump into the furniture around him frequently, and the originally tidy residence became a mess. The vase on the table was knocked over by him, the water spilled all over the floor, and the flowers were scattered, just like his broken life. The chair was also knocked over by him, but he didn't care, just looking for the next bottle of wine in the dizziness.
In addition to dizziness, his body also became extremely weak. He used to be able to lift dumbbells easily and do various fitness exercises. At that time, his muscles were full of strength and clear lines. But now, he even found it difficult to pick up an empty wine glass. His arms were limp, as if they had lost the support of bones. Every time he raised his hands, it was like he was fighting against an invisible force. His legs also became heavy, as if they were tied with heavy lead blocks. He staggered when he walked, and every step seemed to exhaust all his strength.
His face became paler and paler, without a trace of blood. His once rosy and healthy face now looked like a blank sheet of paper, and his lips also lost their rosiness and became dry and pale. His skin began to lose its luster and became dry and rough, as if all the vitality had been drained from his body. His eyes were sunken in his eye sockets, surrounded by dark circles, which were the marks left by countless sleepless nights. His eyes were empty and lifeless, only occasionally a glimmer of pain flashed under the stimulation of alcohol.
He began to frequently have various minor ailments. Sometimes, he would suddenly feel a violent cough, and the cough echoed in the empty room, like a wounded beast roaring in pain. His lungs felt like they were on fire, and every cough made him feel like his body was being torn apart. His throat also became hoarse and painful, as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper, and his voice became low and hoarse.
Not only that, his stomach also began to protest. Due to long-term and heavy drinking, his gastric mucosa was severely damaged. Every time he took a sip of wine, he would feel a sharp pain in his stomach, as if countless small insects were gnawing at his stomach wall. He often curled up on the sofa because of stomach pain, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body was shaking constantly. But even so, he still had no intention of stopping drinking. He felt that this kind of physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
His body was already extremely weak, but he didn't care about his physical condition. In his heart, Jiang Ciyou's departure had made him lose the meaning of life, and the health of his body had become irrelevant to him. He felt like a walking corpse, just struggling to survive in this world. He no longer cared about his health, no longer cared about his future. In his world, there was only the scene when Jiang Ciyou left, and the pain that spread like poison in his heart.
His friends and family tried to persuade him to take care of his body, but he simply wouldn't listen. He shut himself up in this small world full of painful memories and refused to contact the outside world. He felt that no one could understand his pain, and no one could really enter his inner world. He was like a wounded lone wolf, licking his wounds alone, waiting for the end of his life in a dark corner.
However, his body did not stop declining because of his neglect. One day, when he was taking a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, his eyes suddenly went dark and he fell forward. His body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound. He tried to struggle to stand up, but his body had no strength left. He lay on the ground, his consciousness began to blur, and everything around him became hazy. Some fragments flashed through his mind, including the good times he had with Jiang Ciyou, and the indifferent scene when Jiang Ciyou left. His heart was full of regret and helplessness. He didn't know why he had become like this, nor did he know where his future lay.
At the moment he fell into a coma, he seemed to see Jiang Ciyou's face, a face full of concern. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he couldn't reach it. His world fell into darkness. He didn't know if he could wake up or find the meaning of life again.
The author has something to say
Dear readers, in this chapter, we see Lu Jingchen's extreme pain and physical collapse after losing Jiang Ciyou. This is an extreme state in love. When a person devotes himself to a relationship and suffers a huge blow, he may fall to the brink of self-destruction. Lu Jingchen's state is not a rare phenomenon. In real life, many people will have similar reactions when facing emotional setbacks.
What I want to convey through this plot is that although love is beautiful, it can also bring great harm. In the process of pursuing love, we must learn to protect ourselves and learn how to face loss correctly. At the same time, this is also an important stage in the development of Lu Jingchen's character. His pain and despair laid the groundwork for his later recovery and growth. I hope that readers can feel the inner struggle and changes of this character, and I also hope that everyone can get some thoughts about love and life from this plot.
