I was careless this time and didn't take good care of you.
I never thought that Luo Xiangdong would say such things to me one day. I still looked at him without blinking, and he looked away with a guilty look on his face.
Deep in my heart... I can't tell whether it's surprise, accident, or tingling emotion.
At this moment, it was as if the alcohol was welling up, paralyzing my normal thinking and giving me the illusion of a pounding heart.
After being stunned for more than three to five seconds, I looked back downstairs with a guilty conscience, and pretended to be unintentional and replied: "It's okay, I wanted to drink it myself, and you didn't force me to do it."
Luo Xiangdong didn't look at me. He just said: "You're right. You don't have any relatives or friends in Night City, so you can only rely on me. From now on, if anything happens, just come." Find me."
Hearing this, I subconsciously turned to look at him, raised my eyebrows and asked, "What did I say?"
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at me. Our eyes met, and after a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you forgotten again?"
Frowning slightly, I tried to recall what happened before. I only remembered drinking with Lin Shouxiang at the wine table, and then...
Luo Xiangdong saw my virtue and knew that I was broken again. He looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and simply turned away. I suspected that he was out of sight and out of mind, and didn't want to see me anymore.
I said, "Did I tell you something that I don't have yet?"
Luo Xiangdong looked forward and replied directly: "Actually, I didn't say anything... I just talked about how you came to Yecheng and how you were deceived by a couple of bad guys and girls. Your family and friends are not around, only the department of your university. The director took good care of you, but suddenly he disappeared. "
Listening to Luo Xiangdong's sinister tone, my face turned red and blue.
I really want to pull out my fucking tongue, why is the wine so bad? You're so drunk that you don't have access to the door? Don't tell me you can suffocate me to death
Seeing my silence, Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and said with a half-smile, "What?"
I didn't dare to look at his face, feeling embarrassed, so I just replied in a deep voice through gritted teeth: "If I drink too much again, just leave me alone and throw him on the street."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Throw it on the street, what next?"
I said: "Let me remember it for a long time."
Luo Xiangdong couldn't hold it back and said with a smile, "I'd be very sorry if something happened to a passerby."
He made it clear that he was mocking me, but I was also slow to react. It took me a few seconds to react, and I raised my head and glared at him.
As the medicine on the top of my head was injected into my body drop by drop, the feeling of weakness, dizziness and nausea gradually faded away.
When one bottle was almost finished, Luo Xiangdong called the nurse, and the nurse helped me get a new bottle.
I saw there was a big bottle next to me, and I thought it would be daybreak if I finished all these.
Luo Xiangdong, who was sitting next to me, never mentioned that he wanted to leave, but I still noticed that he occasionally turned sideways and yawned.
After thinking for a while, I said out loud: "Brother Dong, it's too late. Why don't you go back to bed first? I can leave after I order."
Hearing this, Luo Xiangdong glanced sideways at the medicine bottle above my head, and then replied: "Just light it. I have nothing to do when I go back anyway."
I said: "It's half the night, you have to sleep."
Luo Xiangdong said: "I can't leave you here alone, can I?"
I said, "It's okay. There are doctors and nurses here. I'll call a taxi and go back after ordering."
Having said this, my eyes suddenly changed, and I remembered that when I went out, I forgot to bring my keys.
Seeing my annoyed look, Luo Xiangdong said, "What's wrong?"
I replied with a frown on my face: "I left the key at home."
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he was not very surprised. He just glanced at me unkindly and said, "Why don't you keep your mind at home?"
I grinned and made a hissing sound. If it weren't for the needle stuck in my hand, I would really want to raise my hand and give myself a shot.
Luo Xiangdong said from the side: "Okay, you have to finish lighting all these before dawn. Turn around and call the unlocker up. Otherwise, what will you do in the middle of the night?"
I said, "I'm just afraid of this kind of thing, so I still have a key in the company."
Luo Xiangdong said: "That's more convenient. Let's go back to the company at dawn to get it."
As soon as we talked about it, the topic of letting him go was diverted. Sitting on the chair, I was drowsy, and Luo Xiangdong sat next to me playing with his mobile phone.
I woke up vaguely at some point and saw the nurse in front of me changing my dressing, and I... tilted my head and rested it on someone's shoulder.
Someone didn't know I woke up and whispered to the nurse: "After she takes these bottles of medicine, will she be completely fine?"
The nurse also whispered back: "Gastroenteritis needs to be taken care of. These are just painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. You should pay more attention to conditioning after you go back. You should especially not eat spicy food. Try to be as light as possible."
Luo Xiangdong nodded.
I didn't dare to move, and even when the nurse lowered her head, I closed my eyes subconsciously, for fear that she would find me awake.
But now I am awake, awake, extremely awake.
The sound of the nurse's walking footsteps was clearly amplified in my ears. When I calmed down, I could even hear Luo Xiangdong's breathing next to me.
Why am I resting my head on his shoulder
And should I continue to pretend to be asleep, or should I pretend to wake up accidentally? What am I going to tell him when he wakes up? Will it be embarrassing? besides…
The more I thought about it, the worse I felt. I missed the best opportunity to wake up and had to pretend to sleep until the end.
When I was sleeping, I felt very comfortable no matter how much I rested on his shoulder; but now I had to pretend to be asleep after waking up, and it felt awkward no matter how hard I put my head on his shoulder. After lying on the pillow for more than ten minutes, I felt that my neck was stiff and the muscles in my neck were stretched so much that it hurt. I wanted to move and change my position, but I was afraid that Luo Xiangdong would notice that I was faking it.
There are really four words that sum up my current situation: It’s your own fault!
With my eyes closed, I could feel my eyeballs turning and my eyelashes trembling. Fortunately, from Luo Xiangdong's angle, he shouldn't be able to see it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Luo Xiangdong's voice happened to be heard, and he said: "Liang Zijin."
I was so frightened that my heart skipped a beat, and my first reaction was: It's over, Luo Xiangdong knows I'm faking it, so how can I defend myself after I open my eyes
"Liang Zijin?"
For various reasons, I pretended not to hear. Later, Luo Xiangdong simply reached out and touched my arm. I was extremely reluctant, but I had to open my eyes.
Luo Xiangdong said: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Oh, it turns out he was going to the bathroom.
I slowly raised my head, pretending to be confused, and watched Luo Xiangdong get up and stride forward, and I was secretly relieved.
He probably didn't realize that I was faking it later, right
Luo Xiangdong left for three to five minutes, and when he came back he felt refreshed. It was probably because he had been holding it in for a long time when I was sleeping on his shoulder before, and he woke me up when he couldn't hold it in any longer.
Sitting down next to me, he said aloud: "My face looks much better."
I subconsciously raised my hand and touched my face. The cold sweat on my face had long since dried. After a good night's sleep, I felt a lot more awake and energetic, and I didn't feel any discomfort.
"It's a good thing you brought me here for the injection, otherwise I would have died at home." I said while shaking my slightly sore neck.
Luo Xiangdong said: "You're lucky that you called me not long after I fell asleep. Otherwise, if I were really asleep, I probably wouldn't even hear your call."
I subconsciously asked aloud: "It was past three in the morning when I called you. Did you just fall asleep?"
Luo Xiangdong hummed, and then said: "I was just playing games."
His answer surprised me. I raised my eyebrows and joked: "I didn't expect you to be an Internet addict."
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and said calmly: "You talk more when you get better. Have you forgotten how sick and wilted you were before?"
I replied nonchalantly: "If you are sick, of course you will be wilted. Who can still be so virtuous when they are well?"
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and said, "Look at your virtue, you look like a villain."
I raised my eyebrows subconsciously and replied: "Then I didn't just risk my life to drink for the company? Do you think I am happy? It doesn't count my work-related injuries, so I won't add insult to injury... "
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he snorted first and then said: "Don't say it's for the company. Those who don't know better would think that Luo is so good at exploiting employees that they even brought you to the hospital."
I asked provocatively: "Isn't it?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "You said it yourself before, you were doing it for my sake, so this is not considered a work-related injury. At most, it is just a matter of motivation."
After that, he added: "I appreciate it. When you get better later, whatever you want to eat or want will be on my account."
I didn't answer immediately, not because I couldn't speak out, but because of what Luo Xiangdong said: You are doing it for my sake.
I don’t remember what I said to Luo Xiangdong while I was drinking too much, but he said that I mentioned things like bad guys and girls, and also mentioned relatives and friends. I believe all these things he said. After all, this is the kind of person I am. I drank too much, felt wronged, and talked about everything.
Then did I also say something to Luo Xiangdong that caused him to misunderstand? For example... risking your life to drink with someone just because of him
He won't misunderstand me, right
In fact, I just... I just think that he is very good, he treats me well, he is a very good boss, and he is also a good friend in private.
Yes, I did it because of loyalty, not for any other reason.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt calm, turned my head and said to Luo Xiangdong: "You should treat me to a meal, after all, I have put myself in the hospital for you this time."
Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips and said with a faint smile: "The Thirteenth Sister of Hongxing is indeed worthy of her reputation. I feel like I will be protected by you from now on."
The smile on my face was getting stronger, and I said with a smile: "That is, mixing with me, Wang Lao's five restaurants are enough."
Luo Xiangdong said: "I have to add hot pot. In fact, his food is also good..."
I never thought that Luo Xiangdong and I would sit side by side and talk and laugh, but the reality is that we were sitting in the quiet spot room of the hospital at about five o'clock in the morning. There were only two of us in the front row of such a big place. We went from eating and drinking to chatting. Pets, and talking about pets and jokes.
Even though I was so sick, Luo Xiangdong actually forced me to tell him a few jokes, which I accepted. Then I started rummaging through the box and told him all the jokes I had heard and remembered over the years.
