Chapter 28: Be open and honest
After guarding Zhou Zhenan for a long time, he didn't mean to wake up. I often went to his nose in fear, afraid that he would not wake up. Fortunately, although he slept deeply, his breathing was steady and his complexion was good. I didn't dare wake him up, for fear that something would go wrong. Ever since I decided to confess my heart to him, I have been hoping that he will wake up, but there is still a faint worry in my heart, afraid that when he opens his eyes, it will be something I can't handle.
He slept for 20 hours, not to mention breakfast, and the hot pot for dinner was brought in, bubbling hot in the restaurant. He may have woken up hungry, for I heard his stomach growl, then his eyelashes fluttering, and finally he lifted his eyes.
I didn't know what to say or what his attitude would be, so I waited with bated breath. As a result, he didn't react, just lay there quietly.
"Aren't you hungry?" after all, it was me who broke the deadlock between the two first.
He was silent for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to say this. Then he nodded: "I'm a little hungry." It was the usual tone, and the expression was the same as usual. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let's eat, the hot pot I ordered has arrived. "He should be a little surprised, in normal times, he has a stomach problem, how can I allow him to eat hot pot. This time, it's just that I've always believed in talking about things at the dinner table, and I've set up a Hongmen banquet for him. His favorite hot pot is my sugar-coated cannonball.
"Just wash your face, I won't go out today anyway. I walked out of my bedroom and into the dining room, "You've been asleep for almost twenty hours, and you're going to be hungry." If there is anything to eat, let's talk about it first. I pretended to be relaxed and casual in tone, and I didn't know that I thought we were a couple who had been married for many years, and just spent an ordinary night.
Zhou Zhenan didn't know what he was thinking, and he probably didn't think about anything. He was probably really hungry, and anyone else should be really hungry, and I saw the calorie craving burning in his eyes. In short, he still has the last idol baggage left, supporting him to complete the entire washing process. I shook my head and smiled, and helped him scald his favorite fat beef and duck intestines. I have spent a lot of money on this Hongmen banquet, and the dazzling array of meat dishes is piled up as high as a hill. I poured it into the spicy pot, and the aroma made me swallow my saliva.
By the way, I am a person who can't eat spicy food at all, and Zhou Zhenan is an authentic and authentic metamorphosis spicy advanced cancer patient. He was really generous that he could allow me to have a mandarin duck pot with him. At the beginning, every time he saw that I wasn't spicy at all, he was speechless and said that I had no soul when I ate hot pot. Coincidentally, the only person close to him is me, who can't eat spicy food at all. But he got used to it eventually.
He ran out wet, his hair still dripping. Straight to the hot pot, I thoughtfully prepared dishes for him: "Hungry, you eat first." ”
He didn't say much politely to me, he started his chopsticks, and he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining what happened last night. But we all know that this matter cannot be bypassed, and a conversation is needed after all. The two of them were eating hot pot that should have a happy atmosphere, but they didn't talk much, and they had their own plans in their hearts.
Zhou Zhenan was already eighty percent full, and the speed of the chopsticks gradually slowed down, I saw that he was in a good mood, and said: "Yesterday's incident, what's going on, let's talk about it." ”
His movements paused: "That's it." ”
"Anan, you have to trust me. I had a serious expression, "This is not a problem that you can hide alone, although I don't know exactly what happened, but it must be a big difficulty, I don't want and don't allow you to face it alone." ”
He stopped talking, and I continued, "I'm your agent, and we're largely one, and you'll have to tell me about it." I have good reason to suspect that you have some physical problems right now. ”
He kept his head down and didn't speak, and I took care of the dishes by myself, as if it were just ordinary gossip at the dinner table.
"I want you to be strong, but that doesn't mean you need to take it all alone. Zhou Zhenan, I'm back, I won't leave you alone again. In the future, I will accompany you no matter what. Through the mist of the hot pot, it seemed as if crystal droplets were slipping down his face, but he still looked so calm.
"I don't know how to tell you. Zhou Zhenan finally spoke, and when he first spoke, his voice was a little unsteady and a little hoarse.
"You can say whatever you want, and I'll just listen to it. I got up and poured him a glass of honey water to moisten his throat.
"It was the first time I did that yesterday, and I don't know why, but I feel like it's stressful. He poked the meat in the bowl with his chopsticks, pretending to be an understatement, and hooked the corners of his mouth again, "I scared you." I shook my head.
He continued: "I've not been in a good state of mind since I was in the United States, and maybe it's since I broke up with you, and I can't say it well. Headaches, habitual insomnia, and bad mood. I've been taking my pills. I don't know if it's because I've seen you or if I've been working too much lately, and the medicine doesn't work very well. ”
"Who prescribed the medicine for you, when did you prescribe it, and what was the dosage of the medicine?" I remember Hou Yong's instructions, asking for details.
"I have a prescription slip, you can look at it later. He waved his hand and didn't care.
"In the future, I will give you your medicine, even if your symptoms are aggravated, you can't increase the amount of medicine privately. I said, "I've got a day off for you on the 30th, and we're going to see a doctor?"
He rejected me: "If I only have one day off, then I will go back to City C to see my teacher." "Yes, his teacher has always had a strong influence on him, and now his sudden death is also one of the sources of his stress. Why didn't he go to see the teacher?
"Then I'll go with you, I'll be staying at your house for the last few days. How can I rest assured that you are in such a state?" I immediately made a decision, "As for the matter of seeing a doctor, I will arrange it, is it okay?"
He was stunned: "I don't have a guest room at home." ”
"But I've got all my clothes, so you can't drive me away. I'm doing all this for you. "I'm a good man. "For the sake of Mr. Nan, I am willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, let alone sleep on the sofa?"
Zhou Zhenan was a little stunned, and then seemed to have made up his mind: "Since this is the case, why did you disappear in the first place?"
This time, I was asked. If I was asked this question at the age of 20, I would definitely be able to say a lot of reasons with confidence, and I would definitely straighten up and tell Zhou Zhenan loudly Because I don't want to affect your career, I must confidently agree with him to wait for me to come back. But now it's the 26-year-old me who is being asked, who has suffered outside, and who has been tormented by longing. I even sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have said goodbye at all, whether I should have stayed by Zhou Zhenan's side and loved him quietly. Guardianship in the shadows is not necessarily great, companionship is the most affectionate confession.
After a bit of confusion in my head, I decided to be honest.
