suddenly tired

Chapter 16 Apricot Garden-13

This night, Zhong Lei didn't go upstairs, he sat down next to Ji Sumian in order to take care of the child who had been calling him daddy with a persistent fever, and an inexplicable paternal love gushed from his heart.He looked at the time, and it had been four hours since the last time he took the medicine. Not only did the fever not subside, but his body temperature was getting higher and higher. Mian fed a pill, picked him up and carried it on his shoulders, and went out the door.

In a trance, Ji Sumian felt a big stone pressing on his body, he couldn't move, his whole body was weak and he wanted to vomit, his whole chest seemed to be on fire, but he wanted to cough but couldn't, he struggled desperately to get rid of it. A stone, with all his strength, finally woke up.

The feeling of being upside down made the fever even more painful. He grabbed Zhong Lei's clothes: "Brother Lei, let me...down."

The moment Zhong Lei put him down, there was a rapid cough, which seemed to tear apart the night in Xingyuan Village.

Zhong Lei patted his back lightly, and heard him breathe a sigh of relief, and said leisurely: "Brother Lei, it's too uncomfortable to carry, I feel like the internal organs are about to be spit out from his mouth."

He couldn't hold back his laughter, walked up to him, squatted down, took his hand and made him lie on his back: "Let's go to the head office with your back on your back."

On the way to the parking lot, Zhong Lei didn't walk fast, but Ji Sumian could wake up, no matter how he woke up, it means it's not serious, and maybe a bottle of water will heal when he arrives at the hospital.He adjusted the passenger seat to an angle where he could lie down and be fixed by the seat belt, set him up, and drove all the way to the Sixth Affiliated Courtyard.

Zhong Lei, as an unmarried and childless single man, unexpectedly unlocked the skills of taking children to see a doctor. He was able to register, pay bills, draw blood, and take films with ease. After a series of operations, Ji Sumian was diagnosed with acute pneumonia and needed to be observed in the emergency ward Stay one night.He hesitated for a while, and when he decided to send it to the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, he decided to contact Zhao Xinyu first, but for some reason, he went through the process by himself. It's not that he didn't want to cause trouble for others, but... A little selfish, I can only say that there is an inevitable contrast between the perfection of human nature and the imperfection of human beings, and this is the reason for the contradiction.He sat by Ji Sumian's bed for a while longer, then took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Xinyu:

"Hello, I'm Zhong Lei. Are you at work? Ji Sumian caught a cold and had a fever. He was in the emergency department of your hospital. The doctor said there was inflammation in his lungs."

Zhao Xinyu was obviously asleep, and his reaction was a little slow: "Huh? Who? Oh Su Mian, is he okay?"

"It's all right now, hang water in the observation ward of the emergency department."

"Oh, the water has been hung up, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Let him have a good rest. I will go to work tomorrow and check it in the morning."

——That ended the call.

Zhong Lei wondered, is the girl so big-hearted, it will be fine if the water is hung up?This attitude doesn't look like a girlfriend. Could it be that Ji Sumian is in an unrequited lover's house?

At this time, Ji Sumian didn't know anything. He was lying on the bed, but he still felt that he was moving all the time, like being on a boat, swaying and dizzy. He remembered in a trance that he seemed to be taken home by his father. I moved to Luqiu, but no one lived in the house for a long time, the floor heating was turned off, it was very cold, and when they turned on the floor heating, it seemed to be on fire, and it became very hot, the two of them couldn’t figure out what the heating equipment was Tune, call and ask mom... Later, mom didn't come, Zhong Lei came, helped them fix the heating, and taught them how to set it up, why is he so good at everything... Then he was taken out by Zhong Lei for some reason The door, very uncomfortable, as if in the hospital, ah, I really want to cough - a sharp cough woke up Zhong Lei.

"Brother Lei, it's very sad to lie down, and I want to cough all the time."

"How about raising the bed for you? Uh, it seems that the handle is broken..." Zhong Lei had no choice but to sit on the head of the bed, help him up, and lean into his arms, "Is this okay?"

This is great!

Ji Sumian's upper body looks like a sports meeting, his heart is a basketball stadium, the ball is pounding on the floor, his blood vessels are the track, a large group of people are running desperately, but his lungs are a cross-country racing track Cars crushed one after another crazily, and the pain seemed to be on fire. He just woke up and coughed, tossing and tossing all night.

Patting him on the back, Zhong Lei sighed: "It's really like a mountain of illness. I'm usually in good health, but I'm bouncing around while working two jobs. Why did I get pneumonia after being exposed to the rain?"

Ji Sumian's fever has subsided, but his whole body is weak, and he nestled in his arms as if he had no bones. He opened his mouth and murmured: "Brother Lei, I am..." The volume gradually weakened until it became silent, as if the battery had run out. headphones.

"Huh? What did you say?" Zhong Lei lowered his head and listened closely to his words.

"Brother Lei, I'm... afraid." There were other patients in the observation ward, and they all spoke in low voices, and Ji Sumian's weak tone made people worry even more.

"Are you really scared? It's okay, it's a little disgusting, but the police said that our house is not the first scene."

"It's not just about this. I've always been afraid. I'm afraid of the young lady who committed suicide at home. I'm afraid of people who come back to follow me at night. I'm afraid that people who are not drunk will beat people who sleep in front of our house. Sister Liao will be arrested that day. I’m also afraid of leaving, I’ve never dared to sleep when you send her away, I’m afraid those people will come back again...Brother Lei, I know I’m very timid and useless, but I’ve tried my best not to think about it, pretending it doesn’t exist I won’t be afraid, but it’s still...Brother Lei..."

Zhong Lei suddenly felt sad, wrapped his arms around his shoulders from behind, and whispered close to his ear: "It's okay, don't talk about it, don't be afraid in the future, we will move when you recover."

……move place?They both froze at the same time, before they had time to react, they saw Zhao Xinyu appearing at the door of the ward.

It turned out to be already morning.

When Zhao Xinyu entered the door and saw this scene, a pink "yeah!" popped up in his heart, thinking that this guy was a blessing in disguise, did he catch up to him by hugging him like this?Unexpectedly, before she approached, Zhong Lei pushed him away as if he had been electrocuted. "You guys talk, I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."

Ji Sumian's frustration was palpable: "My dear sister, you didn't come early or late, but you came in at the critical moment, what a pig teammate!"

"What? Did you confess your love to someone?"

"No, but he was distracted, and he suddenly said he wanted to move."

"Moving? With you?"

"Well, what he said was 'we'll move when you're better', 'we' hey, they should have brought me."

"It should be. So you are talking about this matter. I saw that you both hugged each other. I thought... Oh, blame me, blame me, I will call him back to you, and you can continue talking." She turned around and walked away. Walk.

"How can this be connected!" Ji Sumian shouted at her back.

Zhong Lei was sitting in the smoking area between the emergency building and the outpatient building. He was very tired after a busy night, but when he heard Ji Sumian's timidity, he didn't feel sleepy at all. It turned out that he was such a person.He thought of the good boy who was picked up from the airport and had never experienced hardship since he was young. He first came in and smiled and said to him, "There's nothing to be afraid of, the young lady must be very gentle." "Okay", it turned out that he was pretending to be fine, even if he didn't go home at night and tell Lao Fang to take care of him, it would become the source of his fear. He couldn't imagine what Ji Sumian woke up in the middle of the night for more than a year. Mood is the desire to fall asleep but unable to fall asleep, the fear of constant doubt and uncertainty, the fear of looking forward to the dawn and continuing darkness.

He thought, anyway, the apricot orchard will be demolished sooner or later, and it's time to move.

Zhao Xinyu quickly came out of the emergency room, and greeted him from a distance: "I'm going to the ward, and I have to trouble you to take care of me. The doctor said that I can go home later, and I'll be fine after two days of drinking water."

Zhong Lei stopped her: "You...won't you stay with him for a while? I think he's very sad, coughing all night."

Zhao Xinyu blurted out: "It's useless for me to accompany him, you have to accompany him."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Uh... I'm just rushing to work. You see, I'll be on duty soon."

"Hey, wait a minute." Zhong Lei always felt that a thought was stuck in his heart, and he was very uncomfortable. He tentatively asked: "Aren't you and him in a relationship?"

"Brother, are you right or wrong! I have known him for more than ten years, so let's talk about it early, don't worry, nothing will happen to me even if I sleep with him in the same bed! Don't say anything, I'm going to be late, let's go ah!"

It seemed that the girl was really about to be late, and she ran into the inpatient building in a blink of an eye, leaving Zhonglei alone, with the smoke of doubts about the world rising above her head. "What kind of attitude is this? She doesn't mean anything to Ji Sumian? I'm relieved? What can I worry about..."

Returning to Xingyuan Village again, Ji Sumian seemed to have changed his mood. He expressed all his fears in the groggy illness, but in fact there was still one sentence that he didn’t say: As long as you are here, you will not be afraid of anything. .He was surprised by Zhong Lei's promise to move, and always felt that he was not serious. After all, considering the rent, he couldn't find a lower one than here.Since he got a job, his bank card balance has changed in a very random state. Sometimes it stays high for a while, and he can only go in and out. Sometimes he goes to the hospital and calls back in a second. Attitude, from no plan to plan to every expenditure every day... He fell asleep again in such thoughts.

The light coming in from the gap in the curtains was still a little dazzling. He felt that he should have slept until the afternoon, but his head still hurt, and he heard someone talking outside the door.

"The fish just caught from the reservoir is not big, let's make soup for the children."——It was the voice of Lao Fang.

"I gave you one yesterday, but you sent back three. This business is losing money." Zhong Lei joked.

"Is he better? Why is he so scared? He even went to the hospital."

"It's much better, but I have to hang the water for another two days. Are the police coming again?"

"No, I asked, and they said that they are still investigating, but there is no clue in this area, and now they are waiting for the DNA results."

"Yes. Uncle Fang, I want to move out."

"Heh, is the house too small to live in?"

"No, I'm going to move sooner or later. The development of this area is almost the same, and this is the only area left. I don't know when I'll be notified. I'll move out sooner to save my hands and feet."

"Still in a hurry, what do you have at home? You don't have anything, and you took it away with a car."

They didn't speak, maybe they were smoking. After a while, they heard Zhong Lei ask: "Are you moving? How about I keep an eye out for you when I'm looking for a house?"

"No, I have to demolish and move again. I'm used to living here. What if the house is demolished without giving me compensation when I'm not here?"

"How is it possible? You have to sign an agreement. Then what, there is a lot of food at home, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"Okay, then I'll go back and get a bottle of wine."

"Don't drink, Ji Sumian has a bad appetite and can't smell the wine, you can just eat vegetables!"

"How can you be so squeamish, young man!"

"Then you take it home and eat."

"Okay, okay, stop drinking..."

Ji Sumian covered her face with Zhong Lei's quilt and smiled, yes, she was so delicate, but where did this unbelievable sense of surprise come from?
