The air in the ward seemed to freeze.
After Ming Luchuan said that, his expression was no longer cold, and he sat on the sofa with a straight back and looked at Xia Wennan.
Xia Wennan couldn't react for a while, and said, "You lied to me, right?"
Ming Luchuan said, "Why should I lie to you?"
No one will ever deceive people with this kind of thing. After Xia Wennan subconsciously retorted, he quickly understood. He curled up his legs, lowered his head and rested his forehead on his knees. The bad news came without warning, and he was caught off guard. It took a long time for sadness to cover up his daze. bleary.
Xia Wennan wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed, and go back to see with his own eyes if his grandfather was still there, but before that, he couldn't help but cry first.
He didn't cry out, and buried his head, not wanting to be seen by Ming Luchuan.
But Ming Luchuan had already walked to the bedside at some point, and raised his hand to lightly press on his back. Alpha's palm, which was always indifferent, was warm, and it stuck to Xia Wennan's vest through the thin patient clothes.
Xia Wennan was not in the mood to dodge at this time, he opened his eyes, and all he thought of was Grandpa. He worked outside during the winter vacation of his sophomore year, and he didn't go home until it was almost Chinese New Year. At that time, I always felt that my grandfather was there, and I could see him as long as I went back. I didn't expect to wake up from a car accident and hear such news.
It wasn't until Xia Wennan felt Ming Luchuan's palms sticking to his protruding shoulder blades due to weight loss that he came back to his senses a little, and obviously turned sideways to avoid it.
Ming Luchuan's palm fell in the air, looked at Xia Wennan for a while, and silently withdrew his hand.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Xia Wennan said, "Thank you, I'm fine."
Ming Luchuan turned around and walked towards the door. He reached out to pick up the suit jacket that was put on the back of the sofa chair when he was eating, and said coldly: "I have something to do with the company, I'm leaving first."
Xia Wennan said: "Oh." When he saw Ming Luchuan opened the door and was about to go out, he remembered something again, and hurriedly shouted: "Hello!"
Ming Luchuan stopped in his tracks, and when he looked back at him, his jaw lifted slightly, without much expression on his face.
Xia Wennan could only ask cautiously, "Have you seen my cell phone?"
Ming Luchuan said, "It broke."
"Broken?"
"It was broken in a car accident." After saying this, Ming Luchuan held the doorknob and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Xia Wennan had nothing else to say, he left the ward.
In the afternoon Lin Shuqiu came into Xia Wennan's ward and sat with him for a while.
Xia Wennan didn't have much energy. He listened to Lin Shuqiu talking about his condition, and suddenly asked, "Do you know about my grandfather's condition?"
Xia Wennan had no parents, and was brought up by his grandfather since he was a child. Most of his high school classmates knew about this. But too many years have passed, Lin Shuqiu couldn't help being stunned when he heard Xia Wennan's words, and said: "I don't know, we lost contact after high school graduation, and I only saw you this time when you were admitted to the hospital."
"I was hospitalized in a car accident?"
Lin Shuqiu nodded.
"Do I drive by myself?"
Lin Shuqiu thought for a while, "It seems so, I don't know the specific situation."
"Is there anyone else in the car?"
This time Lin Shuqiu shook his head, "I don't know. Why don't you ask Mr. Ming?"
Xia Wennan thought of Ming Luchuan's cold face, and said, "I think he's a bit fierce."
Lin Shuqiu was silent for a while, then agreed: "He is a bit fierce."
Xia Wennan raised his hand to grab his hair, but almost touched the wound on his head, he withdrew his hand suddenly and said, "No, I have to go back."
Lin Shuqiu stood up, "You cannot be discharged from the hospital yet."
Xia Wennan raised his head and looked at him: "I want to know about my grandpa."
"What news?" Lin Shuqiu had already reached the bedside, blocking Xia Wennan's leg that had already stepped off the bed.
Xia Wennan looked up at him and said, "Ming Luchuan said my grandfather is dead."
Lin Shuqiu couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Xia Wennan looked a little dazed: "I can't find my cell phone, and I don't know who I can contact to ask about my grandpa."
"Let me inquire for you," Lin Shuqiu said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
Lin Shuqiu went out of the ward and made a phone call. Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, he brought the confirmed news of Grandpa Xia Wennan's death.
Xia Wennan sat on the hospital bed in a daze.
Lin Shuqiu comforted him: "My condolences."
Xia Wennan nodded, "Actually, I just don't give up." The result I already knew, but still brought a little luck, and now, Xia Wennan can only give up completely.
He was very depressed, and the nurse took the dinner to the ward, but he took a look and didn't move. When he was alone in the room, he slowly got out of bed and walked to the window.
The evening sun was still dazzling, penetrating through the glass windows and falling on the floor of the room, but this bit of dazzling sunlight was rapidly dimming, and the angle was gradually tilted until the last trace of dark red disappeared from Xia Wennan's face.
The sky has turned a deep gray-blue, with only a tinge of red remaining in the far horizon, which will soon disappear completely.
Downstairs is a small garden, small in size but full of brightly colored flowers. After the sun evacuated, orange lights were lit up in the garden, making the cold hospital show some quiet warmth.
When Xia Wennan heard the sound of the ward door opening, he didn't turn his head, but leaned slightly forward to lean against the window, supporting his weak body.
The footsteps were soft, and they stopped behind him.
Xia Wennan probably guessed who it was, but he didn't want to speak, and still stood by the window dully.
After almost ten minutes, Ming Luchuan said behind him: "It's time to rest." His tone was as blunt and indifferent as ever.
Ming Luchuan didn't seem to plan to leave tonight.
Xia Wennan was lying on the hospital bed, with his arms pillowed behind his head, and saw Ming Luchuan go into the bathroom to wash up.
After a while, Ming Luchuan came out, changed into a set of pajamas, opened the door of a closet next to him, and pulled out a folding bed from inside.
The position of the bed is parallel to Xia Wennan's hospital bed.
Ming Luchuan sat down by the bed, facing Xia Wennan who was half lying on the bed watching him. Xia Wennan turned his eyes away to look forward, but after a while he could still feel Ming Luchuan's eyes on him.
So after waiting for a while, Xia Wennan turned back to look at Ming Luchuan, and said, "What are you looking at me for?"
The expression on Ming Luchuan's face remained motionless, without even raising his eyelids, he said, "Then what should I do?"
Xia Wennan slid down, pulled up the quilt to cover his chest, and whispered, "I don't care what you do." After speaking, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
It seems that a long time has passed, and the lights in the room have been turned off, leaving only a small night light.
Xia Wennan heard the sound of shaking from the bed next to him, Ming Luchuan probably lay down to sleep, and at the same time he heard Ming Luchuan seem to say: "Then who do you care about?"
Xia Wennan turned his back to Ming Luchuan, thinking that this Alpha is really difficult to get along with.
This sleep fell into a deep sleep, and Xia Wennan was awakened by the sound of talking at the door of the ward the next morning.
He opened his eyes, raised his head slightly and could only see Ming Luchuan's tall back in a white shirt.
Ming Luchuan was talking to someone. After a while, he turned sideways. Xia Wennan first saw a large bouquet of beautiful flowers, and then he saw a young man whose upper body was almost covered by flowers.
It was a strange male Omega.
