Chapter 15: The Dusty Room
"Did anything special happen before he fainted?" Qin Li probed over and asked Lu Wei farewell.
Lu Weibei immediately replied, "I rescued a victim of domestic violence on the road before, and it happened to be Huo Yi's patient, so we went to see her today." This victim was not emotionally stable, he almost committed suicide when we were there, and then Huo Yi became weird. Before he fainted, he asked me if I would kill myself. ”
Qin Li and Xue Mianmian were stunned when they heard this.
Qin Li's face was strange, "Did he ask you?"
"yes. Lu Wei nodded.
She looked at Qin Li's face, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could it be that there was something hidden in this topic? Could this be related to Huo Yi's catastrophe after sixty-five days?
She came to her senses and cautiously pricked up her ears.
Xue Mianmian smiled, "You two brothers are ET, right?
"You don't understand. Qin Li's face was awkward.
Xue Mianmian blinked and said, "Look, I said it's ET!
Lu Weibei quickly asked, "What secret?" is it related to his acceptance of Zhang Lin's consultation?"
Xue Mianmian was stunned, "What consultation?"
Qin Li held back and didn't dare to speak.
Lu Wei didn't look at this posture, didn't dare to ask again, and silently hammered the wall in his heart.
Qin Li carried Huo Yi home, fed the medicine and settled down.
He was about to ask Mianmian and Lu Wei not to go back, but he didn't expect that Lu Weibei knocked on Huo Yi's bedroom door first, "Qin Li, come out quickly, Mianmian doesn't seem to be right." ”
He walked out quickly and found Xue Mianmian curled up on the sofa with his stomach covered, covered in sweat.
He quickly rushed over and knelt beside Xue Mianmian, "How are you, I'll take you to the hospital!"
Xue Mianmian waved his hand, "This little thing, I'll just rest." You better stay here, if Huo Yi wakes up in a while, get him something to eat. If his temperature doesn't go down, someone has to take him to the hospital. ”
Lu Weibei gritted his teeth and said, "I don't think it's a trivial matter for you, you still listen to Qin Li, go to the hospital with him." I'll just stay here. ”
Qin Li hesitated.
"What do you have to hesitate about? I can't do anything to him. Even if I ransack his house, you know my WeChat name and appearance, and the police will arrest me quickly. Lu Wei said goodbye.
"Okay, then he's bothering you. Let's go to the hospital first. Qin Li nodded, picked up Xue Mianmian and rushed out. Halfway through, he turned back and said, "The thermometer is on his bedside table, and the kitchen has everything to eat and drink, don't starve yourself." His pajamas are neatly dressed, so you don't have to worry. ”
"Oh. Lu Wei nodded and waved his hand to beckon him to hurry up and leave.
Lu Weibei leaned back on the sofa and looked around. Huo Yi's living room...... The temperament is very contradictory. Most of the place is clean and there is nothing left. But in small areas, such as the dining table and the shoe cabinet at the door, things are piled up in a mess.
She saw a mark on the sofa where Xue Mianmian had sit, and raised her hand as if she remembered something. Sure enough, the dust on his hands was all stained on the sofa.
It turns out that there are no visitors to his house.
She suddenly felt a little distressed about Huo Yi. A man lives in a huge home, but it seems that there is an invisible cage that confines him in a small area. He didn't want to go to a bigger place, and he didn't want to take care of himself in a small place.
She sighed and walked over to the kitchen. Huo Yi didn't eat much at noon, and he had to eat something to cushion it at night. Since Qin Li explained the matter clearly, there was no need for her to frame herself on the sofa in order to avoid suspicion.
Huo Yi's kitchen...... Sure enough, it was Huo Yi's kitchen. The contents of the refrigerator are organized and neatly organized. Cooked shrimp, eggs, chicken, and multigrain rice are placed in a crisper box, washed broccoli, lettuce, and rape are placed in a sealed bag stuffed with kitchen paper, and in addition, there are two rows of raw eggs, a bottle of melatonin, and a rice box. The rice boxes are separated by lattices and contain rice, mung beans, and corn kernels. She can almost make up the scene every day when Huo Yi takes out a little thing from the crisper box and the sealed bag, and mixes the seasonings casually.
Also, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and got up to take melatonin to help him sleep.
She sighed, scooped up rice and mung beans and began to cook porridge. Looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator that had already been processed, she was a little disgusted that they were not fresh enough. But something is better than nothing, she took out the chicken and tore it into small strips, took out a few broccoli and shredded them, and put them in a new crisper box. In addition, I took out a small bowl and mixed the sweet and sour sauce and covered it with plastic wrap.
She felt that Huo Yi's living room was desolate and stuffy, so she simply moved a small stool to guard the porridge pot, and while staring at the rice rolling in the boiling water, she thought about whether to ask Huo Yi clearly what was going on.
When the porridge was ready, she turned off the heat and closed the lid to keep warm. Looking at the time, an hour had passed before Huo Yi took the medicine, she got up to see Huo Yi's condition and prepared him to take his temperature.
She stoodly pushed open the door and found the thermometer on the bedside table.
Huo Yi's whole head was buried in the quilt, and she stood on the edge of the bed and waited for a while before he raised his head and showed his ears. She seized the opportunity and quickly put the thermometer into his ear.
Probably because of his dream, Huo Yi muttered when he turned over, "Fu Yin." ”
Lu Wei was stunned.
Sewing clothes?
What sews clothes?
What clothes to sew?
At the end of the measurement, the thermometer emits a beep beep.
Huo Yi woke up.
Huo Yi didn't react at once, how did he go home, and why was Lu Weibei by the bedside.
Or, should he be more anxious about who changed his pajamas?
Lu Wei glanced at the thermometer, thirty-six degrees nine, and put his heart at ease. She patiently explained to him, "When you were outside just now, you fainted with a fever, I asked Qin Li for help, and he came over with Mianmian." Placing you well, I wanted me to go first with Mianmian, who knew that Mianmian suddenly had a stomachache and was covered with cold sweat. They couldn't rest assured of you, so I said that I would stay and watch you, and let Qin Li send Mianmian to the hospital first. ”
She saw that Huo Yi still looked sluggish, and deliberately added, "Don't worry, Qin Li helped you change the pajamas, and this is the first time I have entered your bedroom." ”
This made Huo Yi blush.
Lu Weibei wanted to laugh a little, but thought that he couldn't bully the patient, so he endured it and continued to ask good-naturedly, "Are you hungry?" I boiled porridge, do you go out to eat, or will I bring it in for you?"
Huo Yi felt that he would have no face to see anyone if he was in bed again, so he hurriedly said, "I'll go out to eat." ”
"Okay, I'll serve porridge. When you come out, put on your clothes. Lu Wei didn't stare at Huo Yi for a while, seeing that there were no numbers on his head, he nodded reassuringly, and turned around and went to the kitchen.
She mixed the cold dishes and put the porridge on the table.
She propped her head and watched Huo Yi come over and sit down, and she especially wanted to ask clearly what was the secret of his sensitivity to suicide. But thinking that he had just subsided in fever, I was afraid of stimulating him, so I had to suppress this impulse. She turned around and went to the couch to get her bag, "See you're fine, I'll go first." If the porridge is not enough, there is still it in the pot. ”
"I'll give it to you. Huo Yi said busily.
"You, a patient who has just had a fever?" Lu Weibei almost laughed angrily, "You can stay here, don't make any more moths." If you're fainting outside, I won't be able to find anyone to help carry you back. ”
Huo Yi was speechless and said goodbye.
When he drank the porridge, Huo Yi's entire stomach stretched.
He hadn't drunk porridge for a long time.
Porridge is a thing that he will never eat when he goes to work, not only is he hungry quickly, but he is also easy to run to the toilet; Qin Li usually drags him to eat, either grilling skewers or hot pot, and never thinking about drinking a bowl of tasteless porridge; he usually can't cook it at home, which is time-consuming, and the pot is not easy to brush. Over time, he even forgot that there is such an option as porridge in the standing recipes of the Chinese.
To this day, he feels that his stomach still misses this food.
He closed his eyes and thought that his mother's porridge was really delicious.
After drinking the porridge, he washed the dishes and chopsticks and entered the storage room rarely.
Eight years ago, he decided to start over in the north, so he entrusted his hometown house, bought it, and moved here alone. He bought all the groceries, sheets, quilts, clothes, and even razors, and he bought new ones. There were only a few mementos that he kept in the storage room.
He turned on the light and lifted the white cloth covering the storage room.
The dust was raised, and he stared at it for a moment. It was as if I was not sitting in a deserted storage room, but patting the sun-dried quilt in the sun.
Unfortunately, there was no smell of sunshine in the house.
He laughed self-deprecatingly.
He still remembers that every time he dried the quilt, he had to pat it and put it away. At this time, Fu Yin would be very happy, and swore to him that this was the taste of sunshine.
He would go out of his way to scare her, saying that it was actually the smell of roasted mites.
Next, Fu Yin will yell to complain to his mother, and he will lose the dessert of the evening.
But next time, Fu Yin will still come to smell the smell, and he will still scare her.
Many things become habits when you do them. I didn't think there was anything special at the time, but it didn't seem like I was so happy until it came to an abrupt end.
He sat quietly on the ground, looking at the scarf his mother had knitted for him, the small bench his father had made for him, the portraits his godmother had painted for him, and the encyclopedia his godfather had bought for him. Look at those old photo albums, those photos of the two families during the New Year's holidays.
At that time, the adults of the two families were always dressed up, and he and Fu Yin, although they were dressed like dogs, were often covered in mud and looked quite unseemly.
He always thought that such a life would go on forever.
Their parents will grow old, and he and Fu Yin will support each other like brothers and sisters to grow up. They will accompany each other to grow up, start a family, accept a new life, and accept parting. Unexpectedly, she smashed all the partings in this world on his head at one time.
No one has been with him since.
So he hated her.
But I didn't expect that now, I can't even hate anymore.
He pulled out a letter from a pile of old books.
Those were the last words that Fu Yin left for him.
He hated her so much at the time that he wanted to burn the letter directly, but he didn't give up after all.
He hesitated for a long time with the letter, but in the end he did not open it. He left the letter still on the floor, leaving the storage room with a mess all over the floor.
Lock the door of the storage room, and he is the calm Huo Yi again.
He felt a headache and threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
