Chapter 32: The Tenderness She Didn't Know
The car had not stopped at the entrance of the hospital, so Du Ke hurriedly got out of the car with Xia Xu in his arms and went straight to the emergency room.
After Xiaohui reversed the car into the parking space designated by the security guard, she also hurriedly chased after it.
It's just that when Xue Ziyang jumped out of the taxi in a panic and chased in, several people had already blended into the crowd of people who had registered and disappeared.
Xue Ziyang had no choice but to look around in the crowd...... I was uneasy and wondered what happened to Xia Xu. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became.
At this time, Xia Xu had been arranged in Ward C on the second floor, lying quietly on the bed, with Xiaohui and Du Ke by his side.
The doctor collected a small amount of blood, and the test results came out in about ten minutes, showing that it was just an ordinary viral cold, and there was nothing serious, and Du Ke breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. Looking at the nurse who was giving Xia Xu an infusion.
It's just that Xia Xu didn't seem to know his current situation in a daze, and he didn't seem to feel the faint pain on the back of his hand. It's still an innocent look in his eyes.
I wanted to get closer, but because Xiaohui had been sitting on the edge of the bed and not moving, Du Ke had to turn around and face out the window, at this time the night was completely shrouded, and the street lights lit up in a row.
The warm light was bright, but there was still no bright glare of the lights in the room, and what was reflected on the glass window was the back of Xiaohui sitting on the edge of the bed behind him and the soft white quilt covered by the bed on Xia Xu's body.
Although he was looking out of the window, his eyes unconsciously fell on the pure white quilt in the reflection of the window. I don't know if the fever has subsided. Douc thought to himself.
Behind the screen on the other side, at this time, there were a few intermittent words of gentle inquiry from the woman, "Are you hungry?" Mom will go down and buy you something to eat, okay? You sit here obediently and don't move, otherwise it will hurt if the hanging needle on the back of your hand is touched off, Mom will come up in a while, soon." Okay, okay?"
Du Ke searched for the voice, poked his head behind the screen and glanced at it, it was a little girl about seven or eight years old, with a lollipop in her mouth and an infusion needle in her hand, nodding obediently to her mother. Then, as if sensing that someone was looking at her, she blinked her big cute eyes and looked innocently at Du Ke, who was poking her head out. Du Ke subconsciously quickly turned his head.
After the girl's mother was not at ease, she hurriedly got up and went downstairs with her coat.
The ward is not particularly large, but Du Ke was suddenly deeply touched by the scene just now, for some reason. When I was a child, I seemed to have been sick, and I vaguely remembered that my mother was by the bedside.
It's just that my childhood memories have been getting more and more faint lately, and I can't remember what the scene was like at that time, and I can't remember whether I also had a bad cold at that time.
In the past, it was a gradually forgotten and somewhat cold memory for Du Ke, he didn't like to think about it, sometimes he couldn't think of anything even if he tried to think about it, as if a large part of his memory didn't remember when it gradually became a vacuum. But what does it matter?
For ordinary people, life is a combination of family, work, and entertainment, and for themselves, as long as they can sing and dance in the recording studio and on stage, hear so many strangers shouting at themselves I love you, and receive so many letters from all over the world every month, they are full of care and care. These are all things that can make Dook change his mood in an instant after being unhappy.
In fact, like Xia Xu, he needs some companionship and love too much.
It's just that there are too many things, and it becomes a habit after being helpless. However, Du Ke didn't want to be in this habit all the time, he wanted to prove himself, he wanted to get the attention and love he craved.
But now that he saw Xia Su on the bed, his heart inexplicably began to soften again. It seems that in the dark, there is always something inexplicable and inexplicable quietly growing in the heart......
After seeing the doctor leave, Xiao Huicai asked Du Ke in a low voice, and was afraid of making a noise to Xia Xu, so the speed and tone of his voice were put to the slowest level: "What the hell is going on? Why does Miss Xia have such a bad fever?" while gently wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"I don't know, it's just ......" Du Ke paused, of course, without telling the truth about his return.
"I went back to get something, and as soon as I got to the playground, I saw her sick on the playground, and then she passed out......," he said, turning around, half-leaning against the window, pretending not to care. Squinted and glanced at Xia Xu, "There seem to be a lot of people who have caught a cold recently." ”
"Hey......" Xiaohui sighed softly after hearing this, looked at Xia Xu with a distressed face, and covered the quilt on her body again. "If you don't have your mother by your side, you still can't do it......"
"......" Hearing Xiao Hui's words, Du Ke was stunned, and then moved his gaze to Xia Xu's pale face. "Doesn't she have any other family around?" he asked.
Although I had heard that Xia Su's mother had gone abroad when she was very young, her father had been missing since then, and outsiders rarely knew about their family.
If it weren't for the fact that her mother inherited the family business of her ancestors abroad, and later grew the business bigger and bigger, and became a well-known female entrepreneur now, I am afraid that no one would even know what her mother did.
And for Du Ke, who didn't notice Xia Sucun at all before, he didn't know what her life was like now.
"I don't know exactly what to do, we don't have much business contact with their family, and we don't have much contact in private. However, the Sun family and Xia Xu's mother seem to have been doing some kind of foreign trade. Xiao Hui thought for a moment, and then added, "Didn't you have a relationship with Sun Zuo before? ”
After speaking, he smiled and looked at Du Ke, who was staring at Xia Xu with solemn eyes at the moment.
Hearing Xiaohui say this, Du Kecai quickly closed his eyes, raised his head, and snorted: "Why should I ask him? Besides, I don't care about this matter." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Hui pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Xiaohui suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you still have to shoot an advertisement at 7 o'clock." I almost forgot about it. Ay. After speaking, he looked at Xia Xu who hadn't woken up yet, "What should I do? Miss Xia can't be here alone......
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly the nurse's voice came from outside the door, "Are you a family member of a patient here? Why don't you go in?"
Hearing the voice, Du Ke and Xiao Hui looked at the door in unison......
As the nurse pushed the door open, Xue Ziyang, who was standing at the door and finally found Xia Xu's ward, appeared in front of Du Ke and Xiaohui without the slightest preparation.
Du Ke looked at him in surprise, how could he be here?
Xiao Hui asked curiously: "Are you?" Before the words fell, he heard Du Ke, who slowly stepped forward behind him, replied solemnly, "It's a classmate in our class." There seemed to be a hint of incomprehensible displeasure in it.
Xue Ziyang nodded politely at Xiaohui, but after he really walked in, Xue Ziyang was a little embarrassed and nervous, and his eyes quickly glanced at Xia Su, "What's wrong with Xia Su?" asked urgently.
"It's just that I have some colds and fevers, but it doesn't matter now. Doucle replied slowly.
Seeing that Xia Xu didn't have any major incidents, Xue Ziyang coughed lightly a few times, and quickly organized the language, "My sister works as a nurse in this hospital, and I happened to come over and saw you here...... I thought something had happened to Xia Xu. Hehe. "After all, it's a temporary excuse to make up, so as soon as I say it, my heart is very empty.
After hearing this, Du Ke smiled faintly and replied steadily: "Oh, what a coincidence, don't worry, she's fine, it doesn't matter now." She stared at him with a calm face.
Xue Ziyang sighed, slowly walked to Xia Su's bedside, and watched Xia Su fall asleep deeply, and his frowning brows were slightly soothed.
It's just that the rapid breathing because of the violent running just now has not completely stabilized, Xue Ziyang is still gasping for breath, although he seems to be deliberately restrained, but the violent fall of his chest is clearly reflected in Du Ke's eyes.
"The doctor said that Miss Xia would have to wait at least a while before she woke up. Her body was too empty. Hey, Xiao Ke's advertisement can't be delayed for a while, this classmate, can you please take care of Miss Xia here first?" Hurriedly asked Xue Ziyang on the side with a smile.
Xue Ziyang naturally agreed happily after hearing this.
After all, Du Ke has pushed the performances and performances for a year, and if he resigns from these advertisements, I'm afraid the company will have to blow up. After all, who is against money?
Xiaohui was very happy, but before going out, Du Ke seemed to be a little inexplicably unhappy......
Xue Ziyang sat quietly on the edge of Xia Xu's bed, and an hour passed, and she called the nurse to change the last bottle of medicine.
Looking at Xia Xu's pale face, Xue Ziyang subconsciously took out the half box of cold medicine in his pocket, but every time he took this, it would be very effective. The box for Xia Xu was kept in the school by himself. It's a pity that it doesn't seem to have much effect on Xia Xu, and when he is depressed, he stuffs it back into his pocket.
Looking at it again, Xia Xu opened his eyes in a trance, the fever had subsided, but he felt a little tired and powerless.
"Do you feel better?" Xue Ziyang's gentle voice came from his ears.
"This is?" Xia Xu instinctively glanced around, this is the hospital, and the two big clear eyes finally stopped at Xue Ziyang's face.
"Well, you fainted on the playground when you got out of school, um......" Xue Ziyang said.
Xia Xu thought about it carefully, he was going to wait for Du Ke, and indeed vaguely someone ran over at that time, it turned out to be Xue Ziyang.
"Oh, I remember, you sent me to the hospital, right?" Xia Xu sat up slightly from the bed, Xue Ziyang lowered his head slightly, and quickly picked up a pillow to cushion her waist. Xia Xu glanced at the window, it was already dark.
"That...... Actually......"
"Huh?" Xia Xu looked at Xue Ziyang curiously, "What?"
"The doctor said you were too weak, so you fainted with a fever. Originally, he wanted to tell Xia Xu about Du Ke sending her here, but for some reason, the words came to his lips and became these two simple sentences.
"Oh, maybe I haven't had a good rest lately, I'll pay more attention. Xia Xu looked at him with a smile, but there was a hint of sickly paleness in his smile, "Ziyang, thank you, I'm really sorry, I just went for an injection earlier, and you have been with me." ”
"Don't say that, it's best if you're okay, and I'm relieved. ”
Don't look at Xue Ziyang's unruly and rebellious posture in school, but at this moment, Xia Xu looked at him sitting on the edge of the bed, but there was a warm tenderness all over his body.
It seems a little too different from the person I saw in school. Maybe it's because the environment is different, so people will show another side of themselves.
The child next door who had the needle had already left with his mother, and in the empty room, only Xue Ziyang and Xia Xu were left.
For a while, Xue Ziyang found that he couldn't be so free to joke and tease her as he was in school, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little comfortable and heartbeating.
Xue Ziyang rubbed his hands, looked up at the medicine on the shelf with a little nervousness, and found that it had bottomed out. "I'm running out of medicine, I'm going to call the nurse. With that, he got up and walked towards the door.
It's just that the box of pills that wasn't completely stuffed into the pocket fell directly to the ground with the action of getting up. He didn't notice it.
Xia Xu just wanted to call him to stop, but Xue Ziyang had already closed the door and went out.
With curiosity, Xia Xu lifted the quilt and slowly stretched her somewhat limp legs to the ground. Slowly crouched down and picked up the pill box.
The moment he held it in his hand, Xia Xu suddenly found that this box of cold medicine was the same as the one placed under his seat, could it be ......
A hint of warmth slowly spread to his cheeks, causing ripples in his heart......
On the field, Du Ke posed according to the photographer's command. Xiaohui was holding the clothes for him on the side, but Du Ke was a little absent-minded, and the guide took pictures several times in a row.
When I left the venue and went back, it was almost 10 p.m.
Xiaohui drove the car, looking at Du Ke in the rearview mirror and looking out of the car window thoughtfully. "Do you want to go to ......the hospital for a visit?"
Du Ke immediately came back to his senses, still turning his head unyieldingly, "Sister Xiaohui thinks too much, no need." With that, he put the hat on the back of his clothes and rested with his eyes closed.
It's just that the brows that are about to be twisted into knots make Xiao Hui still a little unbearable, and he secretly said in his heart: "Stinky boy, see how hard you can be." ”
Du Ke didn't know that when the venue was about to leave, Xiaohui had already broadcast the phone number of Xue Ziyang, who was going to arrive before leaving, when Du Ke went to change clothes, and hung up the phone with confidence when she learned that Xia Xu had woken up and had been picked up by her family.
"Take me to the apartment in a moment. I'm not going home tonight. Anyway, my brother is not here. Doucle stretched down sleepily.
"Whoa?...... All right. I'm going to have to drive back. Xiaohui snorted.
When Du Ke doesn't usually go home, he usually stays in that apartment, which is a place that no one knows about except Xiaohui, and it is his comfort zone.
Connected to the bedroom is a large dance practice room, and on the other side there is a small recording studio, which is where Du Ke practiced his own songs in the early days.
The streets have become quiet, with only the occasional taxi passing by.
The lights in the hospital are still on......
The bed in Ward C was empty at the moment, and the soft white quilt was neatly folded on one side. At that time, there was a bed where she had a fever, and the bed was completely cold at this moment.
The corners of Du Ke's mouth lifted slightly, and he gently closed the door and left the hospital.
