It was just after one o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
Jiang Qingzhou opened his eyes, and his first thought after regaining consciousness was, did he go out drinking all night yesterday? Why did his head hurt so much
"Are you awake? Is your head still hurting?"
A deep, magnetic voice sounded in his ears, which sounded very familiar to him.
Jiang Qingzhou moved his eyes to the side, and what came into view was Huo Jinyu's handsome and heroic features.
But what attracts the most attention is not his handsome face, but the pair of thick and dark panda eyes under his eye circles.
A puff—
Hahahaha, those two panda eyes on Huo Jinyu's face are really eye-catching. It must be because he played games all night last night.
Thinking this way in his heart, of course he couldn't ask directly, so Jiang Qingzhou tactfully changed his words to a written one: "Mr. Huo, you don't look very well today, did you not get enough rest last night?"
The last word "OK" had just fallen out of his mouth, and the sentence "Do you want to go back and take a nap?" was not even uttered out loud.
Jiang Qingzhou was confused when he heard a cold snort from Huo Jinyu. He felt that the snort sounded strange.
It seemed like, just now... Huo Jinyu glared at him.
Huo Jinyu said unhappily, "I look bad, but who is that because of? What did you do last night? Did you automatically format and clear it when you woke up?"
"What?" Jiang Qingzhou looked at Huo Jinyu blankly. What did he do last night? He was accompanying Uncle Jiang last night. He...
No, after having a dinner which was almost like a midnight snack in the hospital restaurant last night, he went to find Huo Jinyu.
Then... wait, he needs to think about it again... his mind feels a little confused.
Jiang Qingzhou tried to rewind his memory, and the images in his mind unfolded frame by frame like a scroll...
She went to see Huo Jinyu and almost broke her nose again; she opened the pink bow gift box and found a fluffy pastel bunny skirt; she refused to wear the bunny skirt and told Huo Jinyu that she would only wear the bunny costume she bought; she picked up the glasses with one lens broken and was about to leave, but she unexpectedly learned that his new glasses were worth 880,000...
The loser was planning to buy him another set, which made him so angry that he almost died...
It seemed that he was too angry at that time, and then... his head suddenly became dizzy... In a daze, countless golden stars flashed in front of his eyes, dazzling and eye-catching.
He was enveloped by the golden light and felt as if he was floating in the air, as if he had ascended to heaven.
So exciting! I feel like my life has reached its climax.
He floated and floated until he came to a green forest that looked like a fairyland, and then he met a—
The big bad wolf with Huo Jinyu’s face, he invites the big bad wolf*Huo Jinyu to dance the bunny dance together… eh, eh eh eh
Stop! Stop now! The memory cannot be rewound any further. Jiang Qingzhou had a feeling that if he continued to rewind, something bad would happen.
But once the floodgates of memory were opened, he couldn't stop it just because he wanted to. Those memories were like a flood, rushing away, **.
Caught off guard, a series of high-pitched and passionate "go go go" floated through Jiang Qingzhou's mind.
Jiang Qingzhou:
Immediately afterwards, not only in my mind, but also in front of my eyes, a long series of bunny dances were flashing on the screen.
The whole screen is full of—
Left left right right
Go turn around go go go
Left left right right
Go turn around go go go
go go go go go go
… …
A few minutes later, Jiang Qingzhou pulled up the quilt on the bed and covered himself from head to toe.
"Oh! Did you remember that?"
A deep, magnetic voice penetrated into his ears through a thin quilt. Jiang Qingzhou was lying on the bed like a corpse, lying there in a very proper position, without moving at all.
He closed his eyes and looked very peaceful, as if he had already passed away.
"Last night, most of the nurses at the nurses' station, oh... and my dad and mom, were all dragged by you to do the bunny dance. Do you remember?"
Please stop talking, Jiang Qingzhou covered his face and wailed silently, why not let this dark experience of social death disappear with the wind and sand.
I don't really want to think about it, thank you for your cooperation.
"My room has become a big forest, a gathering place for your little animals to have a dance party."
"... Could you please stop talking, Mr. Huo?" Jiang Qingzhou said weakly, groaning.
Please ask someone to come and take Huo Jinyu away quickly, he wants to be alone.
No, no, no! Please give him an interstellar spaceship. He wants to go to other planets outside the earth to see the scenery.
"Wow! It's only been one night and I've been called 'Brother Wolf' and then classmate Huo again."
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” Please really, please stop talking.
"If I hadn't stopped you last night, you would have dressed up in that bunny dress to entertain your little animal friends."
Jiang Qingzhou listened to Huo Jinyu's deliberately controlled tone. He didn't even need to lift the quilt to look. He could already imagine that Huo Jinyu must be raising his peach blossom eyes with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, the sky brightened up, and Huo Jinyu lifted the quilt from him.
Jiang Qingzhou went to grab the quilt. He didn't want to see the sun or the light today. He just wanted to hide in a dark corner.
A person is in a daze quietly.
He couldn't snatch it from Huo Jinyu, so he threw the quilt that Huo Jinyu gave him outside. Taking advantage of the few seconds when Huo Jinyu was away, Jiang Qingzhou quickly looked around.
The next second, he turned over and jumped up, opened the large wardrobe next to him, and just as he put half a foot on the door of the wardrobe, a big hand came from behind.
Huo Jinyu stretched out her arms and put one hand in front of Jiang Qingzhou who was trying to get into the closet. She chuckled and said, "Are you planning to dig a hole to hide yourself?"
As soon as the little white rabbit woke up, he wanted to dig a hole and hide himself. It seemed that the memories of last night were quite unforgettable for the little white rabbit.
Jiang Qingzhou punched Huo Jinyu's arm that was tightly around his waist. Huo Jinyu sneered at this rabbit punch that had no lethality and allowed Jiang Qingzhou to throw a few more rabbit punches.
Feeling similar, he said, "Actually... it was my mistake that you became like that last night."
Jiang Qingzhou suddenly turned around to look at Huo Jinyu, what did he mean by "my mistake".
"Last night, a logistics worker at the hospital restaurant mixed up a box of porcini mushrooms that he had prepared for himself with matsutake mushrooms. The chef in the kitchen didn't notice and stewed them in the soup."
The hospital is the Huo family's private hospital, and he is the fourth master of the Huo family. It is not wrong to round off to five, so it was his mistake.
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” He was speechless for a moment. Putting aside this low-level mistake and not considering right or wrong, why would someone specially prepare a box of porcini for himself to eat
Boletus, by chance, he knew a little bit, not much. But just this one point, thinking about his abnormal behavior last night, Jiang Qingzhou already knew what was going on.
Boletus, also known as Boletus edulis, is a kind of "fairy mushroom" that will not cause any harm to humans if eaten, but will cause them to see elves.
Jiang Qingzhou had every reason to suspect that the man actually wanted to see the legendary elf.
"You ate the porcini soup, which ingested a certain amount of LSD, which caused the hallucination." Huo Jinyu's movements were unusually gentle. He patted Jiang Qingzhou's furry head and comforted him, "Last night, the hematology department drew blood from you for testing. You're fine, and there won't be any sequelae."
"Do you think I can still face people after what happened last night?" Jiang Qingzhou curled his lips and pulled most of the nurses on the 15th floor of the hospital to have a dance party with Huo Jinyu's parents in the middle of the night and dance the Bunny Dance.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so socially dead.
As soon as they arrived, the half-closed door was pushed open from the outside. Jiang Qingzhou's pupils contracted greatly, and he turned around and buried his head in Huo Jinyu's chest like an ostrich.
He didn't want to see anyone at all now, especially since the people coming were Huo Jinyu's parents.
The first person to walk in was Mr. Huo. He looked at the scene and his eyes widened. His eyes met those of his youngest son.
Almost instantly, Mr. Huo reacted extremely quickly. He turned around, stood still, and stepped back in one go, pulling his wife away.
After retreating to the door of the ward, Mr. Huo leaned close to Mrs. Huo's ear and muttered something. Just as he finished half of the sentence, three members of the Jiang family came towards him.
When the Jiang family heard from the nurse that Jiang Qingzhou had woken up, they hurried over to check on him. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the door of Zhou Zhou's ward, before Zhou Zhou saw him, they saw two people dressed in particularly elegant and noble clothes walking out of Zhou Zhou's ward.
These two people should be Xiao Huo’s parents, the Jiang family members thought at the same time.
Similarly, the two elders of the Huo family also saw the Jiang family and guessed the identity of the visitors at the first time.
"Um... You, you are Xiao Huo's mother? You must be the old lady, hello!"
Madam Huo smiled amiably, dispelling the visible stiffness on Aunt Jiang's face. She said, "Why call me Madam? It's too formal! You are Xiao Jiang's eldest aunt, right? My youngest son and your Xiao Jiang are classmates, so we are peers. You can call me the same as you do in Nanning."
Aunt Jiang responded with a "ah" and said politely, "Then I'll call you 'old sister'."
In Nanning, people usually call those older than themselves "old sister" in a warm and friendly way.
Here, Aunt Jiang and Old Madam Huo started chatting.
Over there, Uncle Jiang also started chatting with Grandpa Huo.
The elders from both sides stood at the door of the ward, chatting happily about everything under the sun.
Inside the ward, Jiang Qingzhou put his ear to the door, listening to the noise outside. As he listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He looked at Huo Jinyu hesitantly: "I remember that last night... Uncle, Aunt, and Sister Yuehong all drank a bowl of Matsutake and Pork Rib Soup. Didn't they see the elf?"
"The nurse discovered it in time during her rounds, and Da Zhang came over to give them acupuncture to detoxify them, so they didn't have a chance to see... the elf."
Huo Jinyu answered every question.
Jiang Qingzhou was angry: "Since you can do acupuncture to detoxify, why don't you do one for me?"
Huo Jinyu flicked Jiang Qingzhou's forehead with her finger and asked back, "I didn't arrange for Da Zhang to be yours. Do you want to think about it carefully before you speak?"
Jiang Qingzhou: “?”
In my mind, a memory popped up at an inopportune time.
Zhang Mingshi wanted to give him acupuncture to detoxify him with a silver needle, but he mistook her for the black-hearted wolf grandmother.
Seeing the needle about to pierce his head, he actually...
She ran to Huo Jinyu crying and complaining.
"Brother Wolf, there is a black-hearted wolf grandmother who wants to stab me with a needle—"
Wolf Grandma* Zhang Mingshi: "..."
The silver needle in his hand trembled, and instead of piercing Jiang Qingzhou, it pierced his own hand.
