Yunlan went home in a daze not knowing what he was feeling, the man in the bed felt so alive in his recording, even more alive than the last time he saw him, which was only yesterday but it felt like a week. Yunlan hadn't eaten or had a drink not that he wanted one, but he knew if he didn't eat, his stomach would play up like hell, so he phoned Lin Jing to find out where he was and if he was sober.
"Hi Yunlan, did you change your mind?"
"Maybe, are you sober and where are you?"
"Yes, I'm the driver for tonight but Chu doesn't drink anyway, so there's two of us drivers tonight, you don't sound well, what's wrong?"
"I'm just hungry and tired and need to talk, never mind me, I'll see you tomorrow."
"I'll be over in 15 minutes." and he hung up.
Yunlan started to remove his good suit and slip into a t-shirt and joggers when the door was rattled and Lin Jing arrived with some carry out food. Yunlan let him in and took the food into the kitchen for plates and came back into the living room where he sat down and started to fork some of the noodles into his mouth slowly as if it was difficult to eat.
"Something's really upset you when you can't eat, tell me some of the details but don't stop eating." Lin Jing said as he watched Yunlan's slow attempts.
"Shen Wei's in a coma, in hospital. he named me as an emergency contact." Yunlan could feel his eyes begin to water as he tried to keep eating. Lin Jing lost his smile and stared at Yunlan who was visibly upset.
"He knew that it could happen and he'd made arrangements for it, for payment, care, and he wanted me to look after him while he's in there."
"What happened to put him in the coma?" Lin Jing asked.
"He's special, and has been all his life, and that's all I can say, but if you look carefully at the interview tapes, you'll understand."
Yunlan stopped eating for a moment to give Lin Jing the recording to listen to while he resumed his poor attempt at the noodles. Yunlan didn't need to say anything to him, just struggled to eat as much as he could before putting his plate in the kitchen.
"So you're going to do it, stupid question, you looked head over heels this afternoon, and just friends don't feel the emotion you're feeling now about his condition."
"He made recordings to be given to me one at a time, I don't know if I can do this,......."
And hisemotions gave way letting the flood gates open. Lin Jing moved over immediately and threw his arms around him while he cried and released all the pent up trapped feelings he'd had for several hours. Eventually he stopped crying and tried to sit upright as Lin Jing held his shoulders to help straighten him.
