Shi Yan's words directly suppressed the tears in Zheng Shuyi's eyes, and turned them into a raging fire, quickly drying up and evaporating in his body.
At first she was a little confused, thinking she had heard wrong.
But it's that simple.
she! How! what! Can! can! listen! wrong!
In an instant, all the sadness, all the hidden thoughts were gone, only the buzzing sound in my head.
No, why did he suddenly say this at this time
Zheng Shuyi couldn't close his mouth, stared blankly at the wall for a while, then turned his head to look at Shi Yan.
His expression was light, and he looked at the posters on the wall calmly. He didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, nor did he feel that it was inappropriate.
Zheng Shuyi couldn't feel sad anymore.
She stared at him blankly for a few seconds before moving her eyes away.
The body temperature, which was already running a fever, became even higher, and even the blush on his face became more obvious.
"You and I… "
Hearing her hesitating for a long time without being able to utter a word, Shi Yan tilted his head and said calmly: "Am I not right?"
Although his words were out of temper for a while, it is not unreasonable to think about it carefully.
Otherwise, what should two adult men and women do at this time.
Hold hands and watch a movie
According to Zheng Shuyi's previous routine, such progress was a bit of a waste of her mobility.
Shi Yan looked at Zheng Shuyi with some sarcastic eyes.
In the state of fever, people's brains can't move very much, but Zheng Shuyi was still stunned by him at this time, and felt that his words seemed to make sense, so he nodded dizzily.
But so what, all the conditions for the establishment of the assumption have collapsed.
"Well, you're right."
Time Banquet: "..."
However, as soon as the words fell, the air seemed to vibrate slightly. The two fell into silence again.
This short conversation brought out a gap that both sides knew but had been buried all along.
Her words clearly meant to admit that it seemed to make the current situation even more embarrassing.
That subtle atmosphere blocked Zheng Shuyi's throat invisibly, and he couldn't say anything else.
The corridor was deep and empty, but the air was heavy.
Zheng Shuyi lightly leaned against the wall, not knowing what to do with herself.
The broadcast repeated the reminder again, and Zheng Shuyi came back to his senses, almost trotting all the way to the window.
After getting the test sheet, she adjusted her breath towards the window a few times before turning around and walking towards Shi Yan.
"I got the test sheet, let's find out the meaning."
Shi Yan let out a "hmm" and said nothing, nor did she intend to be with her.
Zheng Shuyi went to the diagnosis room alone.
The doctor glanced at the test sheet, tapped the computer, and said: "The white blood cells are high, it should be a bacterial infection, but your condition is not serious now, I will prescribe medicine for you first, if you wake up tomorrow and the fever does not subside, then you may have to come to the hospital." The hospital is hung with water, don’t stay up late when you go back, pay attention to rest.”
Zheng Shuyi nodded: "Okay."
When Zheng Shuyi came out with the medicine list prescribed by the doctor, seeing the empty corridor, his heart sank suddenly.
After walking two steps, I saw Shi Yan's back outside the hall door, and her chest was inexplicably full again.
After queuing up to get the medicine, Zheng Shuyi walked behind Shi Yan with a small bag.
She wanted to tug on his sleeve, but she never raised her hand.
She stood motionless, not even shaking the shadow on the ground.
The sound of her footsteps coming over was so light that it took a few seconds for Shi Yan to feel a person standing behind her.
He turned around and looked at Zheng Shuyi standing quietly, with his head drooping slightly, his face pale.
The slender fingers were holding a plastic bag hanging by their legs, and when they were dazzled by the light, they felt very cold.
Inexplicably, Shi Yan wanted to reach out to hold her, but when he raised his eyes and saw her pitiful appearance, Shi Yan's teeth itch instead.
Shi Yan: "Are you dumb?"
Zheng Shuyi looked up, his eyes dim: "Huh? What?"
Shi Yan: "Let's go."
Zheng Shuyi lowered his head and responded in a low voice: "Oh."
—
On the way back, Shiyan was held in a leisurely manner, and there was nothing to say along the way.
Zheng Shuyi is very tired and sleepy now.
Moreover, she is naturally at odds with things like cars, and when she drives smoothly, she tends to fall asleep easily.
But tonight she didn't feel sleepy at all, she was so awake that she could even hear Shi Yan's breathing clearly.
It's just that she didn't know what to say, and the current atmosphere didn't have room for her to express herself, so she quietly leaned against the car window, looking like she was asleep instead.
At least Shi Yan never thought so.
From his point of view, Zheng Shuyi not only fell asleep, but also slept soundly, without moving a muscle.
So when the car drove to the entrance of the community, Shi Yan stepped on the brake lightly, with his hands on the steering wheel, without making a sound, and making no next move.
Zheng Shuyi didn't know why Shi Yan didn't call her.
But she just wanted to pretend to sleep like this.
At least I can stay in the space with him for a while, otherwise I don't know when the next meeting will be.
The car was so quiet that the only sound was the breathing of the two at different frequencies.
The stalls on the side of the road began to close down, and the lights went out one by one. People who worked overtime and returned late dragged their tired feet home, and their figures passed the car window one by one.
Zheng Shuyi leaned against the car window with her eyes closed, but her senses were unprecedentedly sensitive.
Although she couldn't see it, every movement of Shi Yan was in her mind.
Sitting in the same car half a meter apart like this, she was already very satisfied.
But this silent time also passed quickly.
Although twenty minutes had passed, Zheng Shuyi felt that it was only a moment.
——If it wasn't for Shi Yan's cell phone to emit a voice, she might continue to pretend.
The voice was sent by Guan Ji, and at the same time as the banquet was turned on, he unbuttoned his seat belt and loosened his bow tie.
Guan Ji: "I want to ask you something, do you have time tomorrow night?"
Shi Yan typed two words: What
A few seconds later, Guan Ji's voice echoed clearly in the car.
"It must be a good thing. Do you remember the Fiona from last time? Didn't you take a closer look? It turns out that she seems to be interested in you too. Tonight she has a party on behalf of their company, so she asked me about you by the way. , she means that she wants to meet you, and it happens that she is on vacation tomorrow, so I ask if you are free to meet tomorrow?"
When Shi Yan clicked on the audio, he didn't think too much, and released it directly.
However, upon hearing this, he frowned, and subconsciously glanced sideways at Zheng Shuyi.
She was still sleeping peacefully.
Shi Yan still had a sense of irritability in his heart, and he didn't plan to go back to Guan Ji.
But at this moment, Guan Ji called directly, and before Shi Yan could speak, he started rambling again: "I didn't say that there are really not many talented and beautiful young girls like her who are still single." , if it weren't for the fact that I've talked to her friends for a while, I really want to chase her."
Shi Yan: "Are you free?"
"It's not idle, I just drank some wine tonight so I talked a little bit more." Guan Ji had indeed drunk a lot, his voice was a little blurred, and the logic of his speech was inconsistent, "I'm not joking with you, you Just a word, would you like to come out tomorrow to get to know each other, if not, I will chase after you."
Shi Yan turned his neck, switched to his right hand to answer the phone, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Didn't you just say that it was your ex-girlfriend's friend? The moral restraint on you has no effect so soon?"
"I thought about it, and I'm not breaking the law." Guan Ji read out a sentence, "Buddha said that love and desire are like running against the wind with a torch, and you must burn your hands."
Hearing this, Shi Yan's eyes suddenly froze, and his idle eyes gradually focused on the windshield.
Unaware of Shi Yan's silence, Guan Ji laughed to himself on the other end of the phone, "I think I can bear this hand burn."
He did drink too much tonight and was very relaxed, but he didn't deliberately come to be the matchmaker.
How could it be possible for the girl he had a serious crush on to actually give it up to someone else? This call was just to go through a process for Fiona, and at the same time, he was sure that Shi Yan would not be too busy to find time to talk to a girl who only met once.
After chatting for a while, Guan Ji finally hung up the phone.
Shi Yan looked down at the phone for a while, and suddenly felt a gaze sticking to him.
He turned his head and saw Zheng Shuyi staring at him with wide eyes.
"woke up?"
Zheng Shuyi nodded.
Shi Yan immediately withdrew his gaze, buckled his seat belt, and started the car.
The meaning of his action was obvious, how could Zheng Shuyi not see it.
But she didn't get out of the car, grabbed the seat belt, and asked with some caution, "Are you going tomorrow?"
Shi Yan's movements suddenly stopped, he tilted his head halfway, and looked at Zheng Shuyi.
After a moment, he understood what she meant.
"Did you hear that?"
Zheng Shuyi still nodded.
"I heard a little bit."
Shi Yan supported the steering wheel with his hands, looked at the street lights ahead, and smiled.
"You even take care of this?"
Fine.
Zheng Shuyi knew that he was not qualified to ask this now.
"I don't mean to care about you, I just ask."
After she finished speaking, she quickly unbuckled her seat belt and opened the car door.
When one leg was just stepped down, the wrist was suddenly grabbed by Shi Yan.
"Then you want me to go?"
Zheng Shuyi still kept his back to Shi Yan, even if his hand was held by him.
She froze for a few seconds before turning around slowly.
How could she want him to go.
When she thought of Shi Yan going on a date with another woman, her fever might not go away.
"No." She shook her head, "Of course I don't want you to go."
However, Zheng Shuyi's answer was within Shi Yan's expectation, and he wasn't too surprised to hear it.
It may be that she has said such things too much, but now it sounds a little ironic.
Shi Yan didn't let go of her hand, but clenched it even tighter.
It's just that when his eyes fell on Zheng Shuyi's face, she saw some sarcasm.
"Zheng Shuyi, in what capacity are you saying this now?"
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Zheng Shuyi self-reflected very consciously.
She really has no qualifications and no position to say such things.
But when Shi Yan spoke like this, it was too aggressive.
Do you have to be so worried
Zheng Shuyi took a deep breath, pulled out his last strength, and said, "Because the almanac says that it is not suitable to travel tomorrow."
Time Banquet: "..."
Zheng Shuyi: "There will be a catastrophe."
Time Banquet: "..."
He twitched the corner of his mouth, let go of Zheng Shuyi's hand suddenly, and said coldly: "Go back to sleep."
Zheng Shuyi took her bag, walked two steps, looked back at Shi Yan worriedly, and said loudly: "Really, be careful tomorrow."
Time Banquet: "..."
With one foot on the accelerator, Shi Yan drove the car away without even turning on the turn signal.
—
That night, Zheng Shuyi naturally suffered from insomnia.
She tossed and turned on the bed until there was a glimmer of light outside the window before she fell asleep.
The next morning, she got up late as a matter of course, and felt even more powerless, and her body temperature rose instead of falling.
Zheng Shuyi sat on the bed for a while, then called the company to ask for a leave of absence, and went to the hospital with yesterday's test report.
The doctor last night was also on duty this morning, so it was not surprising to see Zheng Shuyi here sickly.
Prescribed her medicine, then told her to go to the emergency room and wait for the water to be hung.
Zheng Shuyi came early, and there were not many people in the emergency room.
Everyone is a patient, and there is no energy to speak, so the emergency room is extremely quiet.
The gurgling sound of rain outside the window, accompanied by the smell of disinfectant water, made everyone around feel a bit bleak.
Especially Zheng Shuyi.
For a foreigner, working alone, living alone, and going to the hospital alone when sick, nothing makes people feel more lonely than such an environment.
Besides, she had to face her worst fears alone.
The number of patients who came to hang water gradually increased, and after a while, the emergency room was full of people.
But it magnifies Zheng Shuyi's loneliness.
She glanced casually and found that she seemed to be the only girl who came alone.
It was raining harder and harder.
The people who came in behind all had a chill on their bodies.
Zheng Shuyi looked at the work news one after another on the phone, feeling powerless for the first time.
She rubbed her eyes and was about to turn off her phone when Qin Shiyue suddenly sent a message.
Qin Shiyue: Sister Shuyi, are you busy now
Zheng Shuyi: Not busy.
Qin Shiyue: Then let me ask you something.
Zheng Shuyi: Say it.
Qin Shiyue: That Mr. Yu yesterday afternoon, the blind date you mentioned earlier, right
Zheng Shuyi: Yes.
She thought for a while, and then added: The family forced me to come here, and the two of us are ordinary friends.
Qin Shiyue: Really? You two don't mean that
Qin Shiyue: Does he not mean that to you
Zheng Shuyi: Of course not.
Although Zheng Shuyi has never chased anyone, he is often chased by men.
Based on her experience, when a man like Yu You is interested in a woman, he will take the initiative and will not waste time playing devious games.
And when we met for the first time, he said that he is not interested in dating at all now.
Zheng Shuyi is also convinced of this point. After chatting with him a few times, I can feel that he has too many goals to achieve in his heart, and there is no room for love between men and women.
Zheng Shuyi: Why did you suddenly ask him
Qin Shiyue: Nothing to do, just ask.
Holding the phone, Zheng Shuyi was silent for a moment, then asked with a hint of expectation: Did your uncle ask you to ask
Qin Shiyue:
Qin Shiyue: It's none of his business, he's not so idle.
Zheng Shuyi: Oh...
Qin Shiyue: I am interested in him.
Zheng Shuyi:
Zheng Shuyi:? ?
Qin Shiyue: Are you shocked
Qin Shiyue: Sister, don't you smell the single air that I exude all over my body
Zheng Shuyi: No, I think he might not be suitable for you.
Qin Shiyue:
Qin Shiyue: Why
Zheng Shuyi: He currently has no plans to fall in love.
Qin Shiyue: Haha, what I, Qin Shiyue, disbelieve the most is men's nonsense.
Zheng Shuyi: ...
Qin Shiyue: Sister, can you help me
Zheng Shuyi: How can I help
Qin Shiyue: You help me ask him out, I'll follow you.
Zheng Shuyi: It's okay, but he is busy, I'm not sure when he will have time.
Qin Shiyue: It's okay, I'm not in a hurry.
Qin Shiyue: Just ask him if he is free tonight.
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
That's really no rush.
Zheng Shuyi: Not today.
Qin Shiyue: Why
Zheng Shuyi: I'm sick.
A few seconds later, Qin Shiyue called directly.
"Are you sick? What's the matter? Is it serious?"
Zheng Shuyi: "I'm fine, I just have a little fever."
Qin Shiyue: "Did you see a doctor?"
"Yeah." Zheng Shuyi said, "I'm hanging water in the hospital."
Qin Shiyue: "Isn't it serious that the water is hanging on?! Is there anyone to accompany you?"
"It's okay, little problem."
Zheng Shuyi looked up and found that his first bag of medicine was almost gone, so he said, "I'm going to call the nurse, hang up first."
"Oh, okay, take care of yourself."
—
Zheng Shuyi was already very sleepy when he put on the second bag of water.
But she didn't dare to sleep. She was here alone. If she fell asleep, no one would call a nurse for her.
After about ten minutes, she couldn't bear it any longer, and her short-circuited brain finally came up with a solution.
She estimated the time when the bag of medicine would be finished, then set an alarm clock, and then leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes in peace.
Soon, the surrounding sounds gradually disappeared, she tilted her head, and fell into a deep sleep.
—
When the alarm clock rang, she opened her eyes first, dazed for a while in a daze, and then slowly regained consciousness, remembering what she was doing before going to bed.
So her first reaction was to look up to see if the potion was finished.
However, the moment she raised her eyes, she found Shi Yan standing beside her.
In the overcrowded emergency room, he was wearing a thin white shirt, standing there alone, making it impossible for Zheng Shuyi to ignore his existence.
But his figure is too real, too concrete,
So much so that Zheng Shuyi thought that he had read it wrong, or that he was still in a dream and hadn't woken up.
She looked at him in a daze, but he was half bent, as if he didn't notice Zheng Shuyi's eyes.
More like a dream.
Zheng Shuyi wanted to touch him.
As soon as he raised his hand, he was pressed down.
"Don't move."
A female voice sounded.
Zheng Shuyi looked sideways in search of sound, the medicine bag was already deflated, and the nurse was bending over to remove the needle for her.
The moment the foreign body sensation on the back of his hand was lifted, Zheng Shuyi realized that he was covered with a suit jacket.
Wearing a jacket with the usual fragrance of Shiyan.
Zheng Shuyi slowly realized what was happening in front of him.
Until Shi Yan took the cotton swab from the nurse and pressed Zheng Shuyi's arm.
He just looked over and said softly: "You dare to sleep when you come to the hospital alone for IV drip, you have a big heart."
For no reason, Zheng Shuyi's eyes were sore as if they had been smoked by vinegar.
She suddenly wanted to cry.
After a while, she hoarse her voice and said with a sob: "Why are you here?"
After saying this, she was already immersed in her emotions and couldn't extricate herself, almost uncontrollably, with some grievances and complaints, she said again: "Didn't I tell you not to go out..."
Shi Yan loosened the cotton swab and saw that the needle was no longer bleeding, so he slowly straightened up and looked down at Zheng Shuyi.
His tone was heavy and somewhat helpless.
"Aren't you the catastrophe in my life?"
