Chapter 12 Being Cared For

"Ahh

With a scream, I woke up from my dream. The whole eye socket hurts, as if it is about to come out of it. My whole body was sore, and I couldn't exert any strength, am I going to die? Half-squinted, unwilling to open them all, the light outside the curtains was a little dazzling. I was still a little scared in my heart, afraid that I would really die. After doing this for a while, I reached out to rub my eyes, but my right hand was suppressed.

"Don't move, this hand is giving the needle".

The voice was low, but gentle, gentle, a little familiar, as if somewhere it had been heard. I struggled to search for the voice in my memory. I opened my eyes suddenly, and I saw the face of an enlarged man, with a pair of black wide-rimmed glasses, his right eye prominent, and a centipede-like scar lying on his face under the curtain. There were a few crusted bloody wounds on top of my chapped lips, which were no more than a sniff away from me.

"Ahh

I was startled and screamed again. The man's face quickly moved away from me, and I struggled to roll my eyes to look around, the white wall, and a light blue curtain hanging in front of it. It's not the hotel where I'm staying, where am I? What's wrong with me, am I really pushed down by Xiao Pingnan, am I going to heaven? But I obviously feel like I'm dreaming just now, now this is reality, where am I? I moved my body with difficulty, I wanted to sit up, but I just couldn't move, and I didn't have any strength in my whole body. Lying on the bed softly, unable to move.

Turning my head with great effort to look at the place where the sun was shining, a man was sitting on a chair next to the bed, looking at me with his head tilted sideways. It turned out to be him, Mr. Xu, who guarded me all night and sent me to the hotel, just wanted to say something, but his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't make a sound.

"You're awake. You're tossing me to death. ”

Xu Zhengchun saw me wake up, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, half chaired on the chair next to the hospital bed, his face was full of exhaustion, red and bloodshot all over his eyes, although he was wearing glasses, I could see it clearly.

He must be exhausted from seeing him like this. But why is he here?

He took off his black wide-rimmed glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose, rubbed the bridge of his nose and eyes, and then shook the corners of his mouth and smiled at me slowly.

"You said that you tossed all night, just talk about your dreams, cry hysterically, and smoke yourself from time to time. One will cry, the other will scold. Hey, I was scared to death by you this night, and I tossed to death. ”

Xu Zhengchun put on his glasses, looked at me helplessly, smiled and shook his head gently. His mouth was complaining about how I was tossing him, but he didn't hear any reproach. Instead, it's caring, full of concern. Did I hear me wrong?

Little fool, you're finally awake, and if you don't wake up, I'm going to go crazy. The whole medical team is waiting outside, are you trying to scare me to death?

Maybe he was thinking about the crazy performance last night, which made him desperately hold back and not let himself laugh. He just stood up gently, leaned over to the bed, reached out and covered my forehead, and touched my own forehead. From such a close distance, you can clearly see his face, his eyes full of exhaustion, chapped lips, and sallow oily skin, and a bruised skin on the top of his left forehead, as if he had been hit. The whole person looks haggard, he has been guarding me all night?

"Fortunately, the fever has subsided. You scared me to death, and when I got your call, I felt that your voice was not right. Good thing I live upstairs. By the time I arrived at your room, you were like a fireball, huddled on the ground shivering, and you were unconscious. If I had arrived late, I wouldn't have known what would have happened. ”

Xu Zhengchun said and turned around again, poured a glass of water and put it on the bedside table. Help me tuck the quilt on both sides, then gently hold my head with his hand and slowly help me up, grab the pie he sent on the chair with his backhand, and wrap me in soft clothes. Half-holding me in his arms, he reached for the water on the bedside table and fed it to his mouth. His body was wide, and I could clearly feel his heartbeat through thick clothes. Being so close gives me a very grounded feeling. Except for dad and the man, it was the first time that they were so close to a man.

"Blame me, I should have thought that you were in such a bad mood last night, you must not know how to take good care of yourself, something will happen. Specially told the hotel to take care of you, and called the front desk after waking up to inform you that you were out. Thinking that you should be fine, I was careless. ”

Xu Zhengchun's voice was full of self-blame, and his deep voice was very gentle.

Why is he blaming himself? Why does he blame himself, why do I always think this person is familiar, who is he? Why is he treating me like this? There are so many questions in my head.

I felt so thirsty that my throat felt like it was about to burst open and bleed. Looking at the water he fed, he took a sip of it.

"Ahem, ahem".

I choked on myself, vomited all the water and phlegm I had just drunk, and couldn't move.

Xu Zhengchun hurriedly used his hand to pick up the water I spit out and the mixed phlegm. I put down the cup with one hand, and with my backhand, I took a paper on the bedside table and carefully wiped the corners of my mouth and the water that fell on the quilt. There was not a hint of impatience or a hint of unhappiness throughout the whole process. It's just very gentle, very gentle to help me tidy up.

Tears flowed out, it was the first time to be so embarrassed in front of outsiders, and I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide and not come out.

"I'm sorry".

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound. What's wrong with me, why can't I speak, why can't I make a sound?

"Don't cry. It's okay, you lie down first".

Xu Zhengchun's voice was still very soft and low. No impatience, no upset. As if this was what he was supposed to do, there was not a hint of displeasure.

As he spoke, he gently put me down, stood up, poured out the water I had just soiled, passed the water from the kettle through the cup, and poured a new glass.

"You drink slowly, you have an upper respiratory infection, a high fever and a fever that turns into acute pneumonia, plus the whole tonsil suppuration, which causes the lymphatic follicles of the whole throat to become inflamed and suppurated, the situation is a bit serious, and it will be a little difficult to eat now. I can't make a sound. ”

Xu Zhengchun said and gently raised my head again, and put the water glass back to my mouth, this time more slowly than the last time, for fear that I would choke on myself.

The water slowly flowed down the mouth and throat, moistening it like nectar on a dry field, and the throat became more comfortable.

"My daughter was like this when she was a child, every time she had a cold, her tonsils must be inflamed, and if she is inflamed, she will definitely have a fever, and then it will be very serious, and the doctor said, this is more difficult, so you have to take care of it now. ”

Xu Zhengchun's voice was softly low, but he could hear the emotions of self-blame and reluctance in it, although he seemed to be talking about his daughter on the surface, but how did I feel that he was talking about me. How I felt as if I had actually seen him. Who the hell is he?

I didn't speak, I couldn't speak, just meekly, slowly drinking the water that Xu Zhengchun had fed. One small bite, one small bite. The plum hasn't arrived, and except for this man who feels very familiar and is willing to take care of me who is sick, there should be no one who is willing. Of course, my former colleagues didn't want to bother.

"Thank you".

I struggled to open my mouth to thank him for taking such good care of this strange man.

"Don't talk yet. ”

After Xu Zhengchun gently fed me a glass of water, he gently put me down, helped me tuck the quilt, and said softly.

"You go to sleep first, I'll ask them to bring something to eat, even if you have difficulty eating, you still have to eat something, so that the illness will get better quickly."

As he spoke, he walked to the window of the ward.

"Mom, help me get some porridge. Let Andy send him to the People's Hospital. ”

Xu Zhengchun leaned against the balcony and turned his head to look at me, how could he listen to him talking to his mother, how could he seem to be ordering his mother.

It's ——, but this voice, this body, such a man, I've really seen it. Where?

"What's wrong with you, how did you go to the hospital, what's wrong with you, you said you, why did you get to the hospital again, didn't you say you wouldn't do anything? Are you going to be angry with me?"

Xu Zhengchun's mobile phone voice was a bit loud, and his mother was yelling at him on the other end of the phone, but what I heard was his mother's voice full of worry about him, and I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart. Where is my mother? My mother wants me to die.

"It's not me, a friend, I'm sick, I'm coming to see. ”

Xu Zhengchun explained the problem concisely and concisely, and he really cherished words like gold.

"There are still people in this world that you Xu Lao Er cares about, it's rare. Come on, you've spoken, I'm sure I'll do a good job. ”

"What about Xiao Miao? How about her, I haven't had time to go back to see her recently, you tell her, I'll go back to see her after I'm busy." ”

Don't forget to ask about my daughter's situation, my relationship with this daughter over the years can be regarded as close, my daughter has no mother since she was a child, she has been lying in the hospital bed for so long, and she has been blind for so many years, and she has not had much time to take care of her, and she is my eyes every time. When Yingzi stabilizes, he has to accompany this daughter well.

"Don't you look at who brought it, now I'm watching TV with her grandfather in the hall, and the homework has been supervised. It's just that last night I was still talking about why my father didn't go back to see her, saying that I missed my father. ”

On the other end of the phone, there is a sense of pride in grandma and grandchildren.

"Hmm. ”

Xu Zhengchun just said simply.

"What do you eat?

The voice on the other end of the line was clearly just trying to say a few more words to his son.

"I'm not hungry. ”

As he spoke, he hung up the phone.

Xu Zhengchun kicked his phone into his coat pocket, walked to the bedside table and took a disposable cup, poured water and drank it in one gulp. Then he flattened it and threw it into the trash can next to him, licking his chapped lips.

"I'll ask my mom to get some porridge, you can eat some, now you have to eat something to get better." ”

Xu Zhengchun's voice when he talked to me was completely different from the voice just now, he was cold just now, and he had no emotion at all, but he was very gentle and light when he talked to me. Is he a multi-faceted person, how can he be so cold to his mother, how can he be so kind to me as an outsider.

"Don't think about it, it's not what you think. I'm just used to it, they're used to it, and we have a good relationship. ”

Obviously, he saw through the little tweet in my heart at a glance, smiled and lowered his head, looked at me, and explained to me.

"I can't see you clearly, but I know what you're thinking? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. ”

Xu Zhengchun sat at the end of the bed with a smile, looked at me, and gently helped me pull down the quilt on my body. Reach into my quilt and touch my feet. The moment the cold feet were covered by his hands, a warmth slowly came from the soles of the feet.

"Are you cold, I'll cover it for you. ”

Then he half-squatted at the end of the bed, covered my feet with his two hands, and slowly put his head on the quilt with his face on the side, looking at me. I could see a look on his face called happiness, this, how could he have such an expression. Does he have a foot fetish?

I trembled with fright from his actions, but his hand didn't mess around, but just gently held my foot in the palm of his hand, and his hand was big and warm.

"What do you think, fool? I'm just afraid you're cold. ”

This man can read minds?

Little girl, why are your feet so cold, are you cold, are you afraid of me. Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you. In the future, I will always be by your side and be with you all the time.
