Xu Keyu's hands were like two dry branches, squeezing Tang Zhi's waist.
There was a different kind of coldness on her face, which was transmitted to Tang Zhi's chest through the thin T-shirt he put on when he hurriedly went out.
Tang Zhi looked into Xu Sheng's eyes. He didn't feel too uncomfortable. He just felt like he was soaking in a bathtub that was still cold. He knew he should get up, but he couldn't leave.
Xu Sheng's face was a little tense, and he called Xu Keyu's name: "Keyu."
His voice was also low, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
Hearing Xu Sheng's voice, Xu Keyu's hand on Tang Zhi's waist loosened a little, but he still held it.
Xu Sheng walked a little closer, one step away from Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi read a little care in his eyes.
After all, they had slept together several times, so it was impossible for them to be as indifferent as when they first met, and would ask Tang Zhi to be emotional when responding to Xu Keyu.
Not hearing her response, Xu Sheng called her by both her first and last name: "Xu Keyu"
Xu Keyu finally raised her face buried in Tang Zhi's arms and turned to look at her brother. After recognizing him for a few seconds, she called out: "Brother."
"You—" Xu Sheng paused for a rare moment and asked her, "How do you feel now?"
The tone of his words made Tang Zhi feel that he was indeed a brother who didn't care about his sister.
After a few seconds, Xu Keyu said softly: "I feel dizzy." Then he rubbed his face sideways on Tang Zhi's chest. Xu Sheng's brows wrinkled, and for some reason, his face became a little ugly.
Tang Zhi felt a little itchy and uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and looked at her.
After lying in the hospital bed for so long, she was so thin that she lost her shape, her cheeks were sunken and her eyes were slightly bulging.
Tang Zhi thought about the doctor's instructions to him before entering the ward.
The doctor hoped that he could cooperate to appease Xu Keyu's emotions and persuade Xu Keyu to have an examination and rest as soon as possible. He said to Xu Keyu as gently as possible: "Keyu, it's time for you to have an examination."
Xu Keyu raised his eyes, looked at him, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "But you haven't called me since you came in until now."
As he said that, he hugged him tighter: "Call me first."
Tang Zhi looked at her for a while and asked her hesitantly, "What's your name?"
Xu Keyu frowned and said angrily, "What do you think?"
She was too close to Tang Zhi, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The room was very close, the doctors and nurses were looking at him, Xu Sheng was also looking at him, and no one could help him.
"...Baby?" Tang Zhi asked tentatively.
In his peripheral vision, Tang Zhi noticed Xu Sheng moving and glanced sideways at him.
Xu Sheng looked at him with an aggressive look that confused Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi didn't like this look, and immediately looked away to look at Xu Keyu.
Xu Keyu pouted and looked at him, shaking his head as if he thought he was stupid. Tang Zhi had an epiphany and felt that his reaction was very slow. He paused and called her in a low voice: "Wife."
Xu Keyu immediately laughed happily. She put her hands on Tang Zhi's shoulders and leaned towards Tang Zhi. Tang Zhi closed his eyes subconsciously.
But she failed to kiss Tang Zhi. Almost at the same moment, someone grabbed Tang Zhi's elbow and pulled Tang Zhi back.
Tang Zhi fell back and almost dragged Xu Keyu out of bed. Xu Keyu pounced, let go of his hand, and raised his eyes blankly to see Xu Sheng standing in front of Tang Zhi.
"Don't go crazy," Xu Sheng pulled Tang Zhi behind him, still holding Tang Zhi hard, which hurt Tang Zhi. His voice was very low, and there was no emotion. He just said forcefully, "Immediately. Get a full checkup.”
Then, he let go of Tang Zhi and glanced at the nurse pushing the wheelchair.
The nurse was stunned and immediately pushed the wheelchair over.
"I don't-" Xu Keyu originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason his voice suddenly dropped and fell silent.
Tang Zhi could only see Xu Sheng's back, but not Xu Keyu.
The doctors and nurses in sight all walked to the opposite side. Xu Sheng let go of his elbow, then held his wrist, completely blocking him behind him.
After a slight commotion, Xu Keyu got into the wheelchair and was pushed out.
Jiang Yan, Xu Sheng and Tang Zhi were the only three people left in the ward.
Xu Sheng held Tang Zhi for two more seconds before letting go. He turned to Jiang Yan and said, "Go back to the car first."
Jiang Yan turned around and went out.
There is a faint fragrance in Xu Keyu's ward. The smell of various hospital medicines and disinfectants is suppressed at the bottom, and only appears in the aftertaste.
Xu Sheng turned around. Tang Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the buttons of Xu Sheng's suit jacket.
Then he saw Xu Sheng's right hand raised, and he closed his eyes. Xu Sheng's fingers clasped his chin and pushed his face upward.
Xu Sheng kissed Tang Zhi. He put his hands where Xu Keyu had left him, his teeth touched Tang Zhi, his lips were warm, and the bridge of his nose touched Tang Zhi's skin.
Tang Zhi meekly and nonchalantly allowed Xu Sheng to hug him, but did not respond to the kiss seriously.
"I will take her for treatment." After the kiss, Xu Sheng said to Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Xu Sheng. He didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything and said "hmm" softly.
Compared with the windy night when they first met, Xu Sheng had not changed much.
He is still so tall and handsome, and he never gets personal when he speaks.
It seemed that any compliments due to his status or curses uttered when he was angered could not elicit a reaction from him.
It's just that maybe he is more familiar with Tang Zhi than others, so he will be gentler to Tang Zhi than to others.
"You don't have to come here anymore," Xu Sheng touched Tang Zhi's cheek and said to him, "I will make sure the hospital doesn't have to call you anymore."
Tang Zhi looked at him and said "thank you". Because he didn't want to stay in the ward, Tang Zhi suggested to Xu Sheng: "Let's go out."
Xu Sheng said yes.
In the ward, Xu Sheng held Tang Zhi's hand. When he reached the door, he paused for a few seconds and then let go of Tang Zhi's hand.
The corridor of the hospital is very long, and the cloudy daylight shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the green plants in the garden have a layer of gray light.
They walked slowly. Xu Sheng was walking by the window. After walking a few steps, his cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. He asked Tang Zhi to wait and walked to the stairs to answer the call.
Xu Sheng answered the call for about five minutes, while Tang Zhi stood by the window, looking out boredly.
He was wondering when Bingang would have better weather for more than three consecutive days. He also wondered for less than a second whether Xu Sheng had gone to talk to Zhao Shao on the phone.
It was none of his business who Xu Sheng talked to on the phone.
Tang Zhi felt that Xu Sheng was sometimes too kind to him, which was not what Xu Sheng would do, and hoped that Xu Sheng would not do this again in the future.
He would rather Xu Sheng still treated him badly, making his contempt more obvious, repeatedly telling Tang Zhi "you are cheap" and "remember to praise her when she tries on a wedding dress".
He hoped that Xu Sheng would hate him as much as before, count the stains and moral flaws in his life, stop protecting him, cherish him, and love him.
Contempt and disdain will not hurt Tang Zhi, but admiration will.
Xu Sheng came back from a short distance away and finished the phone call.
"Tang Zhi," Xu Sheng walked toward Tang Zhi facing the light in the wide and empty corridor. He showed a faint smile to Tang Zhi, "The court will be held next week."
Tang Zhi reacted for a short while, and a very fresh and energetic expectation slowly rose from the depths of his heart.
"The hope is great," Xu Sheng said, "Let's go."
He quickly shook Tang Zhi's palm, then lowered his hand and walked forward.
"First accompany me to the resort we visited last time." Xu Sheng said.
Tang Zhi didn't think about it for a moment and asked Xu Sheng: "Which one?"
Xu Sheng probably felt that Tang Zhi was not very smart, so he glanced at Tang Zhi and said, "You're eating someone else's strawberry for nothing."
At this time, they walked to the lobby of the hospital. Xu Sheng's car was parked outside the glass door, and the driver and Jiang Yan were standing by the door.
Tang Zhi finally remembered with difficulty and felt that the word "eat for free" was very inappropriate.
He clearly remembered that Xu Sheng ate it himself, and immediately retorted: "You ate it too."
As Xu Sheng walked quickly to the door, he slandered Tang Zhi mercilessly: "You gave it to me."
Tang Zhi jogged after him for a few steps, and Xu Sheng suddenly stood by the door. Tang Zhi didn't have time to brake, so he rushed forward and bumped into Xu Sheng's back. He half-hugged Xu Sheng and pulled Xu Sheng's sleeves with his hands before he regained his balance.
Xu Sheng turned back and didn't scold him. He just looked at him for a while and said, "Get in the car."
