21. Sick
The atmosphere in the noisy Internet café was in full swing, the keyboard and mouse were crackling, Ming Hao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, wearing headphones, and was immersed in the game, so he missed the mobile phone that kept flashing on the table.
It wasn't until he lost another qualifying match that he threw off his headphones and cursed in a low voice, only to find that the phone was still flashing, and his tone was naturally impatient when he picked it up.
"What's the matter?"
After not answering the phone for such a long time, Song Zhixia also became angry, "I can't look for you if it's okay?" ”
Minghao lit another cigarette, clamped the phone between his shoulders, and pressed the keyboard with one hand, "I'm busy, don't call me if it's okay"
"What are you busy with, what are you busy with?! Where are you fooling around again! ”
Song Zhixia obviously heard the commotion over there, and there was a trace of sadness mixed with anger.
"Minghao, hurry up, it's started!"
Before hanging up the phone, hearing someone say this over there, Song Zhixia closed her eyes, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, she wiped it off with the back of her hand, turned around and walked to the bedroom as if nothing happened.
was bumping into Gu Nanfeng, who was about to go out, "It's so late, where are you going?" ”
"Something happened to Qiqi, I have to go over" Gu Nanfeng said as he removed the umbrella from the hook behind the door.
I had long heard that the object of her tutoring was an autistic child, Song Zhixia nodded, "Then there is no need to go over so late, it's raining so heavily outside."
"It's okay, don't worry, I've already put the takeout on your table, eat it while it's hot"
Because she was anxious, she didn't notice that Song Zhixia's feelings were a little wrong, so she hurriedly pushed the door and left.
The wind was blowing in the rain, she was almost unsteady with the umbrella in her hand, the corners of her pants were already soaked, and half of her sleeves were dripping with water, she took out her mobile phone while waiting for the car to call Xiao Xubai, or the user you are calling is not in the service area.
"The Meteorological Observatory of City B has issued an orange warning for heavy rain, with precipitation reaching about 200 mm in a short period of time, and many roads are impassable, and several people are still trapped, warning citizens to stay at home as much as possible and not to go out"
Xiao Xubai came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiped his hair with a dry towel, and turned on the old color TV to listen to the news.
This news made her frown slightly, this is far away from City B, it is a newly developed tourist attraction, located at the foot of the mountain, and the wind is blowing outside the window, and the glass windows of the rain are rattling, and there is a risk of falling down at any time, saying that it is the best hotel in the town, but in fact, it is just a bed and an old color TV, at most equipped with a water heater.
The company plans to set up a project here, inspected for a few days and felt that it was good, originally planned to return this afternoon, but the weather forecast said that there was rain and had to be delayed, but I didn't expect the rain in city B to be heavier than here.
She quickly picked up her mobile phone from the table and dialed the phone at home, but found that there was no signal and couldn't get out at all, so she couldn't help but curse and leaned on and threw the phone on the bed.
Between the lightning and thunder, the rain became heavier and heavier, crackling and smashing on the umbrella, the broken thread slipped from the eaves of the umbrella like beads, and the hair on his forehead was already wet by the rain, Gu Nanfeng desperately blinked the rain that had penetrated into his eyes.
Usually it is not easy to take a taxi at the school gate, not to mention that it was still a pouring night, she called Aunt Li again, saying that Qi Qiqing was very unstable, noisy, and had a tendency to hurt herself, and she launched a high fever and was even more anxious.
Gu Nanfeng calmed down, "In this way, Aunt Li will let the driver take you to the hospital first, and you won't have to pick me up, I'll go to the hospital to find you later."
Aunt Li's voice sounded a little choked, "Thank you...... Teacher Gu...... If you don't really know what to do......"
Gu Nanfeng whispered a few words of comfort, hung up the phone, the phone was wet, she wiped her sleeve indiscriminately, and the car lights flashed in the distance, penetrating the night in the rain and fog.
She was overjoyed, stood on tiptoe and waved her hand, the light was already in front of her in an instant, and before she could see what the car was, Gu Nanfeng felt a pain in her left arm, and the mobile phone also fell out.
She subconsciously stepped back, staggered, and fell into the stagnant water, and the car did not stop and roared away.
Gu Nanfeng barely opened his eyes wide, and only then could he see from the taillights that it was an unlicensed motorcycle, which was faster than a sports car.
The pain in her arm made her frown, and she hissed softly, and she couldn't see what the injury was under the dim light of the street lamp, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and just scratched it.
"So far, more than 200 citizens are trapped in the city center, and this station has just received news that the number of casualties caused by the heavy rain has risen to five"
Xiao Xubai's uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, especially after the mobile phone had no signal, he was in a state of restlessness.
Only then did she quickly roll over from the bed, grab the car keys, get dressed and go downstairs.
"South Wind, what's wrong?" An Audi A5 slowly slid to his side and stopped, Fu Lin got out of the car with an umbrella and trotted all the way to her.
Gu Nanfeng held his arms and shivered in the rain, and the wound on his forearm was no longer conscious because of the rain.
Fu ...... Fu Lin, why are you ...... here?"
"Zhixia said that you came out alone at night, and I called your mobile phone and didn't get through"
When the phone was touched in the stagnant water, it couldn't be turned on for a long time.
Gu Nanfeng didn't have time to say more, so he only smiled weakly at him, "Trouble...... Send me to the People's Hospital."
"Towel, wipe it, otherwise it will catch a cold, you wear my sweater first"
Fu Lin handed over a dry towel from the front, and without waiting for her to refuse, he quickly took off his sweater and handed it to her, leaving only a thin sweatshirt.
There was still his temperature on the smoky gray sweater, and Gu Nanfeng felt a faint warm current in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Thank you"
Fu Lin smiled and slowly set off, "Quickly change it, don't worry, I promise not to look randomly, otherwise I will have to register for you when I get to the hospital later."
In the dark, Gu Nanfeng's face flushed, and when he saw that he was concentrating on driving, he hid behind the seat and squirmed.
Fu Lin couldn't tell why he liked her, and he also had the urge to look back, but he curbed them one by one, probably what moved him was her kindness and gentleness.
When he arrived at the door of the VIP ward of the hospital, he heard the hysterical cry of the child, Gu Nanfeng hurriedly pushed the door in, and a bunch of people surrounded the bed, and Aunt Li was squeezed next to her, with a helpless expression on her face.
Several people held Xiao Qi down, and when the needle in the nurse's hand was about to touch her, Gu Nanfeng stopped, "Stop, don't inject her!" ”
Relying on drugs to control her condition for a long time will only make her body weaker and weaker, and her feelings will become more unstable.
The moment he saw her, Xiao Qi's dull eyes gradually became anxious, sticking to her, and a layer of water vapor gradually accumulated under his eyes.
This look was pitiful and helpless, which made her heart swell with a faint sadness, just like when she was a child, every time she longed for her mother to hug her but was indifferent.
"This young lady, who are you?"
"I'm her personal tutor, just ask you to give her a fever, and I'll take care of the rest."
has always been a gentle and gentle girl, but the aura that erupted at this moment made everyone stunned, Aunt Li seemed to see a trace of Xiao Xubai's shadow on her, and immediately burst into tears.
"Okay, it's okay, Qi Qi is not afraid, it's okay, those people won't come in again, and no one will bully Qi Qi anymore, Teacher Gu is guarding you and won't leave you, you are safe now, we are at home in your own big bed, you are very tired, you need to rest, now follow me Close your eyes, light yourself, take a deep breath, one, two, three, ......"
Gu Nanfeng coaxed her to sleep with a slight hint of hypnosis, and after repeating it a few times, she finally quieted down, leaning on her arms and her head little by little.
Fu Lin had already withdrawn, only her shallow breathing in the quiet ward, and after she fell into a deep sleep, she quietly lifted the quilt and got out of bed to call the nurse to infusion.
After tossing for most of the night, Gu Nanfeng couldn't hide his tiredness, leaned on the chair in the hospital corridor and closed his eyes to recuperate, Aunt Li was still chattering, "Qi Qi has a little cough during the day, I knew that I wouldn't let the private doctor go back, it's all because the damn rain road is flooded, and it is said that a few people died......"
"Southwind, let's have something to eat"
Fu Lin came over with two plastic bags, took out a cup of hot soy milk and handed it to her, and then took out another cup and handed it to Aunt Li, "Auntie, you can also drink some hot warmth."
Gu Nanfeng didn't shirk his kindness, there was indeed a hot pain in her throat and eyes, and when she took it, she exerted a slight force, and there was a heart-piercing pain in her arm.
The pain that was not obvious just now gradually became clear at this moment, Gu Nanfeng frowned, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Seeing that her face was very ugly, Fu Lin also became nervous, "What's the matter, do you want to take a look?" ”
"Yes, let's go take a look, Mr. Gu, your little boyfriend is really considerate."
Aunt Li was also on the side to help.
"I accidentally fell while waiting for the bus just now, it's just a skin injury, just disinfect and bandage it."
Gu Nanfeng's lack of explanation made Fu Lin's eyes flash with a hint of joy, in fact, she was just tired and hungry and had no strength to speak.
The rain that had fallen all night in the early morning had not stopped, but it was no longer as tyrannical as last night, and she was afraid that she would wake up and not find herself and cry, so Gu Nanfeng had been sitting on the edge of her bed.
The whole person was nestled in a chair, his bandaged right hand hanging weakly at his side, his eyes slightly closed, his face pale and full of tiredness.
"Gu ......"
Xiao Xubai anxiously pushed open the door, and saw that she was sleeping very deeply in the chair, so he slowed down, walked to Qiqi's bed and touched her forehead.
The fever has subsided, and she has slept very deeply, and the heart she has been hanging on finally fell to the ground, so she landed a kiss on her forehead, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mom is back"
Gu Nanfeng's sleep has always been very shallow, and he will wake up at the slightest movement, let alone such an uncomfortable position.
When I opened my eyes, I saw such a tender scene, which is especially rare in this cold and hard president, and it is also very moving.
"Are you awake?" Xiao Xubai turned around, saw that she was looking at herself, slightly embarrassed, and quickly packed up her feelings.
