Outside the ward.
"Yes, it's a cold."
The doctor handed the checklist to Wang Li, and then stuffed the pen into his jacket pocket: "The medicine has been prescribed, and it should be fine soon, but the amount of ice cream he eats is too big, so it’s better. Stay in the hospital for observation for one day."
Well, as expected.
Wang Li thanked the doctor, then opened the door and walked into the ward.
I saw Shi'an lying on the snow-white hospital bed, without the slightest blood on his face, and with tears in his beautiful, pitch-black eyes, he said weakly:
"I'm dying."
Wang Li: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched: "Don't worry, you can't die. It's just that I caught a cold after eating too much ice cream."
Looking at the sick boy in front of him, Wang Li couldn't help sighing.
He was also at fault this time.
I thought that the other party could eat so much ice cream because I had a bottom in my heart, but I didn't expect that it was simply lack of self-control.
He asked:
"I am going to go out and talk to them, do you have anything you want me to bring?"
Shi An thought for a while, whispered:
"That afternoon, cool and sweet..."
Wang Li: "..."
You still want to eat it!
His brows couldn't help but jumped, gritted his teeth and said: "This is not possible!"
Shi An aggrievedly shut his mouth.
Wang Li was angry and funny: "I really haven't seen Buffy the Chocolate Greedy hospitalize himself. Is this the first time you eat it?"
Shi An blinked, nodded and said, "Yes."
Now Wang Li was stunned: "... Huh?"
Shi An said seriously: "I ate this for the first time, it's super delicious."
Wang Li was startled and looked up and down Shi'an lying on the hospital bed with unexpected eyes.
The boy was very thin, with almost no mass under the quilt, and looked as if he was about to be swallowed by a snow-white hospital bed. The exposed neck was thin and easy to break, and the jaw line was thin and thin. There was a kind of fragility and childishness that did not match his age.
Thinking of the Shi family fighting that he had heard before, Wang Li's vision couldn't help but become complicated.
Obviously, Shi'an has been ignored in Shi's family to a certain extent.
After all, the Shi family is also a wealthy family. Why do they abuse their eldest son so much
Could it be...
Is it because of this that he hides his strength in obscurity
Shi An had no idea what bitterness Wang Linao had made up.
—Because this time he was really greedy for a while.
Shi An curled up under the sheets and trembled slightly, sniffing sadly.
He is so afraid of pain.
Wang Li took a deep look at Shi An with a complicated look.
He sighed long, and then said in a soft voice: "You get your body first, and then you can eat as much chocolate parfait as you want."
Shi An: "Really!"
Wang Li nodded: "Really."
He stepped lightly, turned and left the ward, closing the door behind him by the way.
Shi'an and Zhao She are in different sections of the same hospital, one is a general ward, and the other is a special ward where magic causes injuries.
Wang Li walked in the empty corridor, thinking of the other three companions waiting in another area of the hospital, he felt a dull pain in his head.
Ah... How should I explain to them that Shi An actually just ate too much ice cream
Just as he was about to leave the ward, he suddenly realized that something in his pocket was buzzing and shaking.
Wang Li reached out and took out a mobile phone.
He was slightly startled, and then he reacted afterwards.
This is Shi'an's cell phone.
Just now, because he was anxious to take Shi'an to the hospital, he put the phone that was dropped on the ground into his pocket by the way.
The screen of the phone lights up brightly, but there is no caller ID.
Wang Li answered the phone and said politely: "Hello? Are you who?"
There was silence over the microphone for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, a man's deep, magnetic voice sounded: "Where is Shi'an?"
Wang Li: "Excuse me, Shi'an is in the hospital now. I am afraid it is not convenient to answer the phone. Is there anything I need to convey?"
The phone was hung up.
Wang Li glanced at the screen of the phone above some inexplicably. There was only a string of numbers, and he couldn't see anything.
… never mind.
He shook his head, grabbed a nurse and stuffed the phone to the other party, asked her to wait to pass it to Shi'an, and then hurriedly left the hospital.
Mu Heng put down the phone.
His eyes fell on the screen for a few seconds, and there was no extra emotion in his deep eyes.
"Wen Yao." Mu Heng said suddenly.
Wen Yao, who was preparing to report the progress of the mission investigation, raised his eyes: "Yes."
"Confirm the location of this number." Mu Heng threw the phone over.
Wen Yao was startled.
position…
However, as a competent subordinate, Wen Yao did not ask too much, but immediately began to use his authority to complete the things Mu Heng explained.
Soon, Wen Yao raised his eyes and reported neatly: "The final position is shown in the private hospital in the Western District."
"Yeah." Mu Heng nodded slightly, lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on the task report in his hand.
"Go out," he said lightly.
"Yes." Wen Yao turned to leave Mu Heng's office, and took the door behind him easily.
The office was silent again, and there was no sound of turning over the mission report for a long time.
Fifteen minutes later.
The office door opened from inside, and Mu Heng walked out with his coat between his arms, as if he was about to go out.
Wen Yao was a little surprised, but still stood up immediately: "Sir, do you have any more orders?"
Mu Heng shook his head: "No."
He put on his gloves as he walked, glanced at Wen Yao, and said: "Disband, get off work early today."
Wen Yao was startled, with a confused look on her face.
This, obviously the other party just came back not long ago... Was it because of something urgent
The other side.
Wang Li bent his knuckles and tapped the door of the ward lightly:
"how's it going?"
Chen Meng and Wu Huancheng stood by the hospital bed, while the tall and tower-like Zhao She sat weakly on the bed. Although his complexion was still bad, it was much better than when he just came out of the metal warehouse.
Zhao She nodded at Wang Li: "It's better."
Wang Li: "What did the doctor say?"
Chen Meng replied: "The qi and blood disorder and concussion caused by excessive magical impact, Zhao She's physical fitness is strong, should be able to recover in the next day, and it should not affect our task progress."
Wang Li nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, any player falling behind is a loss.
Wu Huancheng opened his mouth and said, "Where is Shi'an?"
Wang Li hesitated, and finally decided not to tell the truth: "It's just a skin injury, not serious."
Chen Meng frowned: "Captain, what's the matter with that system? Why is there such a serious failure suddenly?"
Wang Li shook his head and said apologetically: "I don't know this yet, but the maintenance personnel have already been asked to overhaul it. The cause should be known after a while."
Chen Meng: "In that case, the result of this competition cannot be counted..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao She on the hospital bed: "I lost."
Chen Meng was startled, and turned his head to look at Zhao She in shock: "What?"
Zhao She leaned on the bed with both hands and stubbornly stood up.
He looked at the three partners in front of him seriously, and said: "I said it when I just came out of the warehouse, this time I lost..."
Wu Huancheng frowned: "But..."
"No but." Zhao She shook his head and gave a wry smile: "No matter whether the equipment is malfunctioning or not, I can feel that in the frontal magic confrontation, I am definitely not his opponent."
He raised his eyes to look at Wang Li, and said solemnly: "Captain, I support Shi'an in joining the team."
This trip is dangerous, but if there are such powerful members in the team, they will be even more powerful.
The ward was quiet for a few seconds.
Wang Li turned to look at the other two members.
After a long time, Wu Huancheng sighed and said: "Since the Zhao She who participated in the battle has acknowledged the strength of the opponent, then I agree."
Chen Meng frowned and looked at the few people in front of her. After a few seconds of silence, she reluctantly said: "Okay, then I agree."
Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, the members of the team are basically determined, and the next things can start to be arranged.
He nodded to the three people in the ward, and said: "In that case, I will start to prepare resources. You can take advantage of this time to adjust yourself to the best condition. It is very close to the time of closing the mountain. Time must be raced against."
After a brief greeting, Wang Li walked out of the ward.
He made several calls, succinctly instructed to prepare the materials needed for the next trip, and contact the checkpoint to prepare a pass.
After everything was prepared, Wang Li remembered that he had not told Shi'an the news.
He turned around and walked towards Shi'an's ward.
Wang Li made a few turns in the hospital following the route in his memory, and he arrived at Shi'an's ward not far away.
Suddenly, he saw a strange figure appearing in his sight.
The man wore a long, jet black coat, was tall, with a strong and straight back, and the most eye-catching thing was his long, silver-white hair like a waterfall.
Wang Li was startled, and subconsciously stopped.
Impossible... Is that really the one
How could Chief Mu Heng appear here
At this moment, Wang Li suddenly remembered the scene where Mu Heng and Shi An had a whispered conversation that he saw at the entrance ceremony that day.
Do they really know each other in private
Thinking of this, Wang Li speeded up his pace and stepped forward and said loudly, "Mr Mu!"
The man walking in front stopped and turned sideways.
Deep eyebrows are hidden in the shaking of light and shadow, and a pair of silver-blue cold eyes are slightly lowered, looking towards him.
That kind of invisible pressure instantly poured on the face.
Wang Li subconsciously held his breath and said in a cautious manner: "Hello, may I ask... Are you here to find Shi'an?"
Mu Heng: "Yes."
His voice was heavy, with a cold determination in his magnetic tone.
Sound familiar
Wait... Isn't this the sound of calling Shi'an just now!
At the moment when Wang Li was stunned, only Mu Heng continued to ask: "What happened?"
Wang Li recovered immediately.
He glanced at the closed door of the ward not far away. Wang Li felt that he was not a very nosy person, but...
For some reason, Shi An's thin body and his previous conjectures immediately came to his mind.
"It's not a big deal, it's just an improper diet." Wang Li respectfully said: "I'm not careful when talking about this matter—"
He sighed: "I just really didn't expect that, as a son of Shi's parents, he had never tasted ice cream."
Although Mu Heng's face still didn't change much, his brows were slightly raised.
Wang Limingbai, if there is something, just click and stop.
He said, "Since you are here, then I won't bother."
Mu Heng: "Yeah."
Wang Li bowed to each other, then turned and left the hospital.
Mu Heng fixedly glanced at the place where Wang Li had disappeared, then retracted his gaze, turned and walked towards Shi'an's ward.
The door was pushed open silently, and Mu Heng stepped forward.
The ward was very quiet, all areas within reach were pale, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant water.
After taking the medicine, Shi An has fallen into a deep sleep.
Half of his face was buried in the soft pillow, and his short brown-black hair was scattered on the pillow, revealing a clear jaw line.
Even when he was asleep, the other party curled up subconsciously, in a small ball under the quilt.
It is a very insecure sleeping position.
This reminded Mu Heng of what the person he had just met outside the ward had said, his azure blue eyes sinking slightly, like the distant sky before the storm struck.
As if feeling the gaze, Shi An moved under the sheets, shrinking a bit again.
The neckline and quilt horns spread out with the movement, and the small half of the neck and the clavicle that was deeply sunken due to the sleeping position looked particularly eye-catching.
After a few seconds, Mu Heng realized where he was looking.
He frowned, looked away, and stretched out his hand to grab Shi'an, being pulled upward by the corner, and pulled straight to the opponent's chin.
After the dazzling white skin was covered, Mu Heng's brows were slightly loosened.
But the next second, the teenager on the bed made a soft and vague grunt, frowned unconsciously, and then rolled over, reaching out and holding the thing that disturbed his sleep in his arms.
Mu Heng became stiff.
Although wearing gloves, the skin of the wrist is unavoidably touched, and the instinctive resistance rises in the bottom of my heart.
However, before he had time to pull his hand out immediately, Mu Heng suddenly discovered—
Not knowing if it was because of the cold, Shi An seemed to be trembling in a small area.
Mu Heng couldn't help but pause.
He maintained the somewhat awkward posture right now and looked down at it.
Under the action of the medicine, Shi An did not open his eyes, and his long eyelashes were hanging down, casting a deep shadow on his pale face.
He seemed to sleep peacefully, but his brows were frowned.
As a cold-blooded animal, another cold-blooded animal that had eaten eight large cups of Chocolate Buffy and caught a cold, Shi An shrank, shivering, and instinctively approached the source of warmth.
Even through the cloth, the temperature radiated by the human body is still so clear and conspicuous, warm and hot.
Shi An tightened his hands to prevent the heat source from escaping.
In his drowsiness, Shi An dreamed of a dry and spacious nest, full of treasures, dark and warm eggshells.
He touched his forehead and rubbed it in a daze.
In the embrace, the muscles in his arms seemed to tighten suddenly.
In the half-dream and half-awake period, Shi An seemed to perceive something wrong. He raised a little heavy lead eyelid hard and wearily, and looked towards the blurry and shaking scene.
A piece of shining silver light, shining brilliantly in the dim background, is dazzling.
"... Buffy." Shi An mumbled dreamily.
And shiny.
He snuggled up contentedly, then fell into a deep sleep again.
The author has something to say:
A long time later
Mu Heng: The ice cream is still me, choose one.
