During the lunch break, the corridor of the hospital was relatively silent, only the nurses on duty were gossiping in twos and threes. Gu Lai walked to the door of the ward with the food box, and happened to see the nurse changing the medicine for Shen You. In the bloody scene, he waited quietly against the wall outside, but his sensitive ears could still catch the muffled groan of suppressed pain inside.
The fire a few months ago directly destroyed the B&B and even made news. Gu Lai was in good health and was discharged from the hospital some time ago. Only Shen You was still undergoing recovery treatment, and the daily dressing changes were no different from a torture.
After about ten minutes, the nurse pushed the cart out, and Gu Lai came in here, then gently closed the door with her backhand.
Before Shen You could lie down, there were circles of gauze wrapped around his waist. Because it was soaked in the dark liquid medicine, it looked very scary, but it was much better than the previous time. He buttoned the buttons three or two times. , Covering those injuries, the clothes were loose and worn on the body, obviously a lot thinner.
This accident did not disturb the family. He was used to being alone, and it was common for him to disappear suddenly for a few months, but no one bothered.
Gu Lai put the food box on the table, then took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, as if he had done it many times, before he sat down beside the hospital bed and said in a low voice, "Is it better today? It still hurts a lot. ?"
He asks this question every day.
Shen You's mind was still a little dazed, and it took a while to react, but unfortunately the pale face was not convincing: "It's okay, it's all scarred."
Gu Lai didn't say anything, he knew that it was fake or not, he could only kiss his forehead in a soothing way. Came to the cuff, and said in his ear with a half-smile, "You can kiss me a few more times and it won't hurt."
Hearing that, Gu Lai really kissed him several more times, Shen You took the opportunity to bite his lower lip without loosening, and kissed back slowly and forcefully, not less domineering even though he was sick.
Shen You wanted to tell Gu Lai that it was not the first time he was injured and was hospitalized. No matter how painful it was, he was used to it.
The injury that year in college was more serious than it is now. Every minute is a torment. Changing dressings is like cutting meat. It hurts when I don't touch it, and it hurts even more when I touch it. There was no one of the nurses invited.
That year, my chest was filled with hatred day and night.
But Gu Lai never knew how willing Shen You was to get hurt this time.
This soothing kiss changed the taste a bit, but it was impossible to do anything. Gu Lai lightly clasped the back of Shen You's head, hugged him in his arms, and brushed the tip of his tongue over his dry lips. Fen, continued to probe inside, and the technique of entanglement became more and more proficient, and it was not the person who blushed and wanted to escape when he was kissed.
Gu Lai's hand fell on Shen You's ankle, kneaded it gently, and followed it up. There was no excessive movement, but it was inexplicably provocative.
Shen You had never realized that his ankles were so sensitive. He kicked weakly twice, only to find that he didn't kick it off, and said in a hoarse voice, "Gu Lai, you've learned badly..."
Gu Lai looked at him innocently: "Huh?"
Shen You: "..." Well, when he didn't say it.
During this period of time, apart from going home to cook, Gu Lai has been escorting him in the hospital all the time. He has never rested since he was busy before and after. It was noon when he was sleepy. Shen You watched and patted the seat next to him. : "Come up and rest for a while, I can't sleep anyway."
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
Gu Lai shook his head and refused, took out the small snacks in the food box, filled another bowl of porridge, and fed it to Shen You with a spoon, lest the other party raise his hand and crack the wound.
The fire burned the luggage of the two of them with their shackles for many years, turned them into dust, and left them in the once prosperous but now remote ancient town. His heart was so full that it couldn't hold anything.
After Shen You finished eating, he leaned on the bed halfway, not knowing what to think, he turned sideways and gently opened the locker, fumbling in it with difficulty, then took out something and threw it to Gu Lai lightly: "Hey, yours Broken stone."
Gu Lai caught it subconsciously, it felt cold and heavy to the touch, and when he took a closer look, he realized that it was the blue stone that he had polished for the most part. His voice was a little surprised, and he raised his head in surprise: "You brought it out?"
Shen You raised his eyebrows, nodded and said nothing, with three points of pride.
Gu Lai said with a smile: "I'll buy a new tool for grinding tomorrow."
Shen You said calmly, "What do you want to look like? You have to draw a drawing, right?"
In the drawer, there were paper and pens that the nurse put in for the patient to fill in the form. Gu Lai took out a piece of paper, used a ballpoint pen to draw a circle that was more standard than a compass, and added a pair of chubby little wings on the back. Turn it over and show it to Shen You: "It looks good when it's polished like this, right?"
When Gu said this, a mysterious light flashed in his eyes, Shen You paused slightly when he saw this, and deliberately teased him: "A small broken ball, what's so good about it."
Gu Lai had a disagreement with him for the first time: "Don't you think it's cute?"
Shen You glanced at the drawing again, thinking that he was chubby, it seemed really cute, but he didn't say that: "It's okay, I think it's average."
Gu Lai approached him and emphasized with a serious look: "This is not an ordinary ball, it will shine and fly."
Shen You didn't stop laughing, and suddenly felt that the days in hospital didn't seem too boring, out of breath: "The psychiatry department is next door, be careful, you will be taken away by the doctor later. ."
Gu Lai looked at him and said nothing.
Seeing this, Shen You coughed lightly. After laughing enough, he didn't tease him any more. He took the drawing and looked at it carefully, and then commented: "Well, it's quite cute."
Gu Lai's eyes were bright: "Really?"
It's rare for Shen You to see him so happy, and inexplicably has a feeling of coaxing a child: "Really."
Gu Lai was finally satisfied, he folded the paper three times and put it in the drawer, then pressed against Shen You's forehead and said softly, "You need to get better soon."
During the time when the other party was lying in the hospital, Gu Lai always felt that he was not in decline, as if something was missing.
Shen You wanted to say that in a few days, the situation would be better, and he planned to leave the hospital and go home for self-cultivation, but he didn't say anything, kissed the corner of Gu Lai's lips, and nodded silently.
Now the weather is getting colder, and I can breathe out a breath of white air when I speak. A thin layer of frost has condensed on the lawn outside the hospital, and it will snow soon. When Gu Lai went upstairs the day before yesterday, he saw a blood-covered patient being carried into the emergency room, but some mother-in-law and auntie liked to gather in the corridor to talk about ghosts and morgues, which frightened him a lot. I don't dare to sway around again, especially at night.
Shen You felt both amused and distressed about this, sighed helplessly and said, "There are no ghosts in the world."
Gu Lai seemed very stubborn at this time: "Yes."
Shen You compromised on this: "Okay, if you have it, you will have it."
However, in the middle of the night, the kettle ran out of water, and Shen You groped on the table for a long time, only to find that the cup was empty, and then saw Gu Lai lying on the bed beside him as if he had fallen asleep, struggling to move his body, try not to Sitting up with a sound.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Laiyuan was more alert than he thought. He sat up and saw the cup on Shen You's hand. He knew instantly: "Do you want to drink water? I'll go out to fight."
After he finished speaking, he got out of bed and put on his shoes.
Shen You wanted to laugh a little, but also a little sour: "Fuck, aren't you afraid of ghosts, it's not far, I'll go by myself."
Gu Lai disagreed: "The doctor said that you can't move, the wound will open, you sit, I'll be right back."
The hallway of the hospital was also lit at night, but the whiteness became more and more cold and gloomy. The nurse on duty could not be seen at the front desk when walking around the corner, and the surroundings were so silent that only the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Gu Lai felt a little beat in his heart, he picked up the kettle to speed up and wanted to go back, but in the distance he saw an old man appearing in the corridor not far away, walking slowly on crutches, stopping every time he passed the door of a ward, and then Going further, it looks very strange.
Gu Lai's mind couldn't contain the words that the aunts and uncles said a few days ago: "Oh, as soon as I slept at night, I saw dark shadows shaking outside, and my whole body was cold, maybe it was a ghost. People are so energetic!"
My heart suddenly froze.
Shen You's ward was the first at the end. Gu Lai could only bite the bullet and walk forward. Although he deliberately slowed down, he quickly caught up with the old man. He squeezed the handle of the kettle nervously, and then quietly turned away. He glanced at the other side and found that the old man was in good spirits, not like a ghost.
The old man's temper was a little violent. Seeing Gu Lai staring at him for no reason, he was so angry that he pounded the ground with his crutches. He was about to say something, but the ground slipped and his legs and feet were inconvenient. He stumbled and almost fell. He quickly supported him, and when he saw that he was standing firm, he let go.
Gu Lai asked, "Are you all right? The ground here is a little slippery."
The old man hummed in embarrassment, had a stubborn temper, and didn't say thank you.
Gu Lai didn't care, he carried the kettle into the ward, and then closed the door with his backhand.
Shen Youzheng looked down at his phone, sat beside the bed and waited for him, when he heard the movement, he raised his head subconsciously, and then said half-truthfully, "Oh, you've been gone for so long, haven't you met a ghost?"
Gu Lai knew that he was making fun of himself, but he didn't say anything. He poured him a glass of water and put it to his mouth carefully. After Shen You finished drinking, he said seriously: "There are no ghosts, there is a beautiful nurse sister."
Shen You should have been jealous, but he felt it was unnecessary. He squinted his eyes and said with a half-smile, "It's too late no matter how beautiful you are, you are mine now."
Gu Lai is sometimes quite serious, taking off his shoes and lying on the bed again, tidying up the quilt: "Why aren't you mine?"
Shen You's ears turned red, he kicked the quilt and whispered, "I didn't say no."
Gu Lai asked, "Then you are mine?"
Shen You replied vaguely in the dark, "Yeah."
His hand was hanging by the side of the bed, and then he was held tightly by the other hand. It was unbelievably warm on this near-winter night. Neither of them noticed that the door was opened, and then they were gently taken away. up.
The old man leaned on crutches and took the elevator downstairs. The driver who had been waiting underneath hurriedly came to help him, but he pushed him away again, and he struggled to get into the back seat.
The roar of the car sounded, and soon disappeared in the dark.
