Chapter 47: Autumn Dreams Without a Trace
Tang Xiaoya slept until about ten o'clock the next morning before she woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome figure. Lu Mingxuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her quietly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You finally woke up, you had a high fever last night, and you are talking nonsense, how are people now?"
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, trying to shake off the messy illusions in her head, "It's almost better." It is estimated that I went to the Westin Hotel yesterday, and when I came back, it rained, and it took too long to take a bath at home, and it was hot and cold, so I caught a cold and fever. ”
Lu Mingxuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked her face, his eyebrows were twisted, and his eyes were reluctant for a while, "It's all my fault, the voice was a little strange on the phone last night, I should have felt it a long time ago." The voice was a little self-reproachful, and then lifted her body, "Okay, get up, I guess you don't have any taste, I cooked you preserved egg porridge, it's still hot, and you have to eat to get better quickly." ”
On the dining table, a bowl of greasy white porridge, sprinkled with chives, and a few plates of side dishes, peanuts, tofu skin, and radish strips, looks good and tastes very refreshing. Tang Xiaoya smiled at Lu Mingxuan and thanked her. In fact, after going home last night, she cooked noodles in a daze, and now she is so hungry that her chest is pressed against her back, so she quickly buries her head in eating, and her stomach is suddenly much warmer.
After eating the porridge, the two sat on the sofa, Lu Mingxuan took her hand with a worried face, "Xiaoya, tell me as soon as you feel unwell in the future, do you know how worried I was last night?" However, he was still a little relieved that she could inform him, remembering that in the past, she carried her own illness by herself, lying in bed silently, resting for a few days and dealing with it.
Tang Xiaoya looked at his sincere eyes, a wave of warmth spread at the end, and a faint apology rose, for her own doubts, wavering, and accidental love for other men. She leaned over and buried her head in his arms, a familiar smell came from her breath, the bridge of her nose was sour for no reason, and the corners of her eyes were a little swollen.
I remember when I was in college, one weekend, she seemed to be in the rain and started to have a fever, she asked her roommate to buy some medicine to take, and it didn't work at all for a day. It was already late at night, so I had no choice but to ask Mickey Mouse to accompany me to the school hospital for an intravenous drip.
At that time, the relationship between her and Lu Mingxuan was still unclear, and she didn't tell him that he was still working part-time outside on weekends. However, I didn't know what Lu Dao was for, so he hurried over.
"If I hadn't found the girl's dormitory, I wouldn't have known that you had arrived at the hospital, and you wouldn't have made a phone call for anything?"
Tang Xiaoya smirked at her, "Don't worry, don't you think I'm good?" The fever has subsided, and tomorrow there will be no trouble. "I have always been in good health, and I can deal with occasional headache and brain fever by taking medicine. And Lu Mingxuan is often busy, and there are still a lot of people in the family who need him to take care of, and she doesn't want to add to his burden.
Lu Mingxuan shook his head helplessly and brought her a bowl of hot black rice porridge. She ate and ate, a little sad, a little grateful, and then she gave birth to a sense of stability. At that time, she thought that it would be nice to have an older brother like Lu Mingxuan, smart and capable, but also careful and considerate, she could ask him for help if she was in trouble, and she could lean on his broad shoulders and find support when she was tired.
However, after all, there are very few men and women who can stay in the stage of friendship forever, and it is even rarer to be like relatives. Her wish to find her brother could not be realized, because after that, Lu Mingxuan officially proposed a relationship with her.
She hesitated and consulted with her best friend. Mickey Mouse knocked her head hard and scolded bitterly, "What's hypocritical, Lu Mingxuan is such a high-quality and careful man, there is no such shop in this village." Besides, when your boyfriend can help you, take care of you, play with you when you're happy, cry on your shoulder when you're sad, hurry up and be content. And so, she thought and thought, and agreed with joy.
Lu Mingxuan's clear brows furrowed, and he complained again, "Why don't you come to the hospital early, it's not good to delay it for too long." ”
"I'm used to it, I usually take medicine, I don't want to be too troublesome." Of course, all habits are not formed at the beginning.
When she was young, she was sick and liked to lie in her mother's arms and make a bunch of requests to her father, hardcover Barbie, pink princess dresses, and electric toys...... There are also wishes that I don't usually dare to mention, and I said them together. Therefore, being sick is a nuisance and a joy at the same time. Later, her parents returned to the west, and she slowly began to fight alone. My uncle and aunt are out of town, and there are two children at home to worry about, so if I tell them, I can only let them worry about it. Sister Xiaoyou can't count on it, it's a literary girl who can't even take care of herself.
Since her parents' accident, the hospital has become her most hated place, with white coats, the same nurse's uniform, the doctor's expression is indifferent, and the patient's face is full of sadness. As soon as she got there, she would remember the situation when she saw her parents the last time, on the white sheets, two familiar figures, lying indifferently, surrounded by blood, the former kind face had been distorted, and the body was cold, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed......
Memories came like a tide, Tang Xiaoya was crooked to him in a daze, not wanting to move, and her thoughts were a little chaotic.
Lu Mingxuan thought she was sick and in a bad mood, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Lu Mingxuan answered the phone. The two were so close that she didn't even bother to listen to it. It was a call from the assistant, it seemed that Taiyu Group had an important investment case, and a guest happened to come and wanted him to go back to the company to participate in the reception.
"Xiaoya, I may have to go back to the company, do you have any problems at home alone?" Lu Mingxuan was a little uneasy, took her hand, and looked at her apologetically.
Tang Xiaoya stood up, picked up his coat and pushed him out of the door, pretending to smile easily, "My health has always been very good, I rarely have a cold and fever once a year, and recently it is because of excessive overtime that my resistance has decreased, so I will suffer." You don't have to worry, let's go and get back in touch. ”
"Alright then, take care of yourself." Lu Mingxuan hugged her into his arms, then let go, and when he was about to enter the elevator, he turned around and waved at her.
She sat back on the couch and stared at the pile of pills on the table in a daze. With a thought, she took out her mobile phone to check the records, and it seemed to be the same as last night, there were no new calls or new text messages, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, that face is obviously very real, why is there no trace? Was it all just her hallucination? Although she was puzzled, she couldn't ask Lu Mingxuan directly.
Hey, it's probably because I've been working overtime for a long time, and my brain is starting to mess up.
However, she was a little scared, the kind of expectation in her heart jumped out like a little beast, flashing a face, sadly, that person was not Lu Mingxuan.
