272. Afraid
,!
My mouth was a little dry, but there was no water next to the bed, so I struggled to get up from the bed again, bent over the bed and picked up my phone.
The call was from Jin's mother, and there was also a call from Chen Lina, and after thinking about it several times, I originally wanted to go back to the past, but my throat was dry and uncomfortable, so I gave up for the time being.
I put my phone on the bedside table and went out of my bedroom to boil water in the kitchen.
I hadn't eaten much all day, and my hands and feet were slightly numb, so I quickly filled a pot of water and boiled it, intending to fill my stomach with something more.
But as soon as I bent down to open the refrigerator door, suddenly my head turned violently, and I immediately grabbed the refrigerator door.
I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable, I touched my forehead with my hand, it was hot, and there was sweat penetrating.
I gasped for breath and wanted to wait for this uncomfortable state to pass, but at this time the doorbell rang outside, and I don't know who came here at this time.
I wondered if it would be Lina Chen, so I got up and walked out of the kitchen and towards the living room.
The doorbell was broken for a while, but it continued to ring, and I walked very slowly, afraid that the people outside the door would be in a hurry, so I immediately replied: "Here we are." ”
I walked to the door, didn't think much about it, and quickly opened the car door, and it was not Chen Lina who stood outside the door, but Chen Qingchuan.
I looked at him, and my first reaction was to close the door hard, but who knew that I would be like this, and immediately reached out and pressed it.
I usually don't have as much strength as him, but now I have more strength, so I stopped my movements and asked weakly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
He propped his hand on the door and said, "Mother Jin said that you didn't answer the phone, let me come and see you." He saw at a glance what was wrong with me, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
I had already guessed why he was here, and I shook my head and said it was okay, and I wanted to turn around and leave through the door? Chen Qingchuan suddenly grabbed my wrist from behind, and I immediately stopped and looked at him.
He didn't look very good and whispered, "You have a fever." ”
It was not a question, but I was very sure of my physical condition at this time, I did not deny it, but nodded and said, "It's just a little bit, and it's not serious." ”
I heard the sound of water boiling in the kitchen, turned around and said, "The water is boiling, I need to pour it." ”
Chen Qingchuan still didn't let go of the hand holding my wrist, but pulled me hard again, pulled me to him, he directly raised his other hand to touch my forehead, he said with a cold face: "Go to the hospital." ”
I struggled and said, "No, I took cold medicine." ”
The boiling water was tearing and chirping inside, and I whispered again, "The water is really boiling." ”
He didn't say anything, he finally let go of me, and then walked straight to the kitchen, he directly ripped off the disconnected plug of the kettle, and then turned off the power in the kitchen, he came out of the kitchen, walked to the living room and said to me, "Go change into thicker clothes." ”
I sat on the couch and didn't move.
Again, he said, "Don't let me say it a second time." ”
I'm tempted to ask what kind of relationship we have now? He didn't say it was the last time before, so why did he still care about me.
I would love to say to him, you don't care if I go to the hospital or not.
But when the words came to my lips, I looked at his face, swallowed, and sat there without speaking.
He urged again: "Xu Kaiyan." ”
The tone was a little heavier.
I didn't bother with him anymore, I finally got up from the couch and followed his instructions into the bedroom to get dressed.
When he was dressed and came out, he walked out, and I stood there and hesitated for a few seconds, then followed him out.
I closed the door, he pressed the elevator at the elevator entrance, I walked towards him, and the elevator door opened with a bang.
Two people came out of the elevator, Chen Qingchuan turned sideways and got out of the way, I stood there and looked at him, he saw that I hadn't followed yet, and turned around and frowned and said, "Hurry up." ”
I was very dizzy today, my movements were very sluggish, and my expression was a little wooden, as soon as his words came out, I followed him and followed him into the elevator.
After the elevator door was closed, Chen Qingchuan, who was standing in front, looked at the elevator door, and I stood behind him weakly, hanging my head.
There were only the two of us in the elevator, so my heavy breathing was extremely heavy, and he turned around and just whispered, "Is it a high fever?" ”
I looked sluggish and said, "It should be." ”
"Did you take your medicine indiscriminately?"
I looked up and saw only the back of his head.
I said, "No, I've just taken a few cold pills." ”
Chen Qingchuan asked again: "Those cold medicines, they should be two years ago." ”
When he asked, I looked up at him again, and this time it was no longer the back of his head, but his face.
Slightly cold, I looked at him.
I didn't speak.
Chen Qingchuan said: "So, don't you check the date when you take cold medicine?" Is this what you call being able to take care of yourself? ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
I didn't answer, because I really didn't expect the medicine to be from two years ago, and when I took out the medicine kit, I saw what I was going to eat.
Chen Qingchuan's face became colder and colder, but fortunately, the elevator door opened automatically at this time, and he walked out first, and I followed him again.
His car was parked downstairs, he didn't wait for me, he got in the car first, sat in the driver's seat and started the car, I hesitated at the passenger door for a while, thought about it, or walked towards the back seat door, I opened the door and sat directly in.
Chen Qingchuan didn't say anything about my choice of seats, but just reminded me: "Seat belts." ”
My head was getting dizzy, I looked up at him, still didn't say anything, and pulled out my seat belt and buckled it on my body.
After Chen Qingchuan saw that I was seated there, he started the car.
Maybe because I was already breathing heavily, he didn't adjust the temperature in the car very well, and handed me something backhanded.
I looked at him.
What he handed me was a black thermos water cup, which he usually used to drink water.
When he saw me sitting there stunned and unmoving, he said, "The water is warm." ”
The reason why I was stunned was because the personal item of the water cup seemed to be too intimate for our current relationship, although in the past, when I went to his car, I saw his things, what to take, and his water cup was often occupied by me for sharing, but now I still think about it for a few seconds.
When he saw that I was still not moving, he was driving a little impatiently and said, "Hurry up." His hand was still there.
I hesitated for a long time, but took it from him.
After taking it, he also retracted his hand and landed on the steering wheel.
I stared at the thermos cup in my hand, and then looked around the car, trying to find something like a disposable cup, but apparently I thought too much, the car was very clean and tidy, and there was basically no such clutter.
And I, too, really had a dry mouth, and I didn't take a sip of the water I boiled at home just now because of Chen Qingchuan's arrival.
I could only unscrew his thermos and take a big sip of it.
After drinking most of the cup and feeling more comfortable in my throat, I screwed the lid on, and then asked Chen Qingchuan, "Where to put it?" ”
He was driving, and he didn't reply casually.
Hearing him answer like this, he naturally said whatever it is, then whatever, and I dropped the cup on the seat next to me.
I leaned on the window and closed my eyes, intending to rest for a while, my head was really dizzy, Chen Qingchuan didn't speak again, and then drove silently in front of me.
I don't know how long I was leaning there in a daze, but when the car stopped slowly, Chen Qingchuan, who was in front, turned off the car and said to me in the back seat, "It's here." ”
I opened my eyes and looked around, and when I saw that I had arrived at the hospital, I nodded and subconsciously climbed out of the car.
After that, Chen Qingchuan also got out of the car, he took me to the hospital to line up for registration, and then went to the doctor, took my temperature, and then did a few small tests.
The doctor said, "I have a high fever, I may have to be hospitalized here today." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately looked at the doctor with wide eyes and said, "Do you want to be hospitalized here?" It shouldn't be that serious, so why don't you prescribe me a few boxes of medicine? ”
The doctor not only did not listen to me, but looked up and said, "You have high white blood cells, you have to reduce inflammation here, you must stay here for one night tonight, for observation, as for whether you can be discharged tomorrow, it is also a question, you better be prepared to stay here for two days." ”
The doctor actually gave me a hospitalization order directly, but probably because I was unwilling, he consulted Chen Qingchuan: "Is it hospitalized?" If you are hospitalized, I will open the list, and if you are not hospitalized, then you don't come to me, if there is any problem, I am not responsible. ”
Chen Qingchuan said, "You can open it." ”
I looked at Chen Qingchuan, but I was really uncomfortable, so I didn't speak again.
After that, the doctor didn't ask anything more, prescribed us medicine, told us to go through various procedures and then go to the infusion.
I didn't have any strength to run anymore, so Chen Qingchuan took me back to the infusion ward after that.
When I arrived in the ward, the heating was turned on very much, and I was a little helpless when I stood there, but Chen Qingchuan was much more natural than natural, he took off his coat, put it on the back of the chair, and said to me: "Let's go to bed and lie down first, the nurse should be coming soon." ”
After he finished speaking, he went to the window, opened the curtains, and then opened the window halfway to ventilate in the ward.
I also felt hot, so I took off my coat, and after taking it off, I said, "Why don't you wait to go back, I just have an infusion here and don't need anyone to accompany me, so I ......"
When I said this, Chen Qingchuan suddenly turned around from the window to look at me.
His face was neither cold nor hot and asked: "Infusion first, and the rest later." He glanced up at the watch on his wrist, and because there was still a lot of formalities to be done, he poured the hot water for me in advance, turned on the humidifier, and when the nurse came in, he said to me, "I'll go through the formalities." ”
He confessed and left the room.
I looked at his departing back and stood there for several seconds.
The nurse insisted on coming in, and said in a sweet voice, "It's time for an injection, you go to bed first." ”
I was very dizzy, and after listening to her, I nodded, and then I went to the hospital bed and lay down, and the nurse put the needle in my place.
Usually I am a person who screams when I have a little pain, but today this high fever has made me dizzy, and I don't even feel the pain on the back of my hand.
I lay there and let the nurse toss.
After the nurse hung the water for me, she smiled with me and said, "Did you go with someone to go through the formalities?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes." ”
She held the tray of medicine and said, "Then you have a good rest." ”
The nurse gently dimmed the lamp for me, and she was about to leave when Chen Qingchuan vibrated with the ringing of the telephone in the pocket of his coat that he had placed on the chair.
The nurse wanted to leave directly, but when she heard the phone ringing, she paused and looked at me lying on the bed, she was afraid of disturbing my rest, and her clothes were not with me, and it was inconvenient for me to walk with water, so she asked, "Do you need me to bring your clothes for you?" ”
I lay there and didn't know how to answer, my face was stuffy, and the nurse saw that I hadn't answered for a long time and was about to say something, and finally the phone rang, and the nurse was stunned for a few seconds, and then I said to her, "I shouldn't call again, you go and get busy." ”
The nurse didn't linger any longer, then nodded and left.
As soon as she left, I exhaled slightly, feeling that my tense heart finally relaxed, and I was going to close my eyes and rest for a while, but who knew that the mobile phone in Chen Qingchuan's pocket rang again.
I opened my eyes again and stared at the coat.
The phone rang and rang and rang and rang, and I simply ignored it and just closed my eyes and lay there.
I don't know how long the phone rang without ringing again, but after Chen Qingchuan came back, he came back with some hot porridge.
He thought I was asleep, so he came in with a very light movement, but as soon as he put the food in his hand on the coffee table, I opened my eyes instantly.
When he noticed my gaze, he turned his head to look at me, and when he saw that I was awake, he said, "When you are awake, drink the porridge first." ”
My stomach was so empty that I couldn't feel it, so I struggled to get up from the hospital bed, and he brought the porridge for me, and there was a small table on the hospital bed, and he put the small table for me, and then he carefully placed the porridge in front of me, wiped the spoon clean, handed it to me, and said, "Eat." ”
I stared at the spoon he handed me and hesitated for a few seconds before taking it from his hand, where I ate with my head down.
Chen Qingchuan went out in a hurry, it seemed to be raining outside, his hair and clothes were a little wet, so he took a towel and wiped it aside.
I stared at him for a while, then continued to eat the porridge in the bowl, and when he finished wiping it, I whispered to him, "Your phone has been ringing just now." ”
When he heard this, he turned to me sideways.
I said, "I don't know who called, it kept ringing, and I didn't answer it for you." ”
Chen Qingchuan didn't speak, he got up and went to the chair, picked up his clothes, and took out his mobile phone, he glanced at the call reminder, I thought it was Lin Yutang, but who knew that in the next second, Chen Qingchuan said: "It's Jin Ma." ”
As soon as I heard that it was Jin's mother, I immediately said excitedly: "Don't tell Jin's mother about my illness, otherwise she will be in a hurry!" ”
He glanced at me with his mobile phone and said, "So you're also afraid that Jin's mother is worried?" ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at me anymore, but dialed Jin's mother's phone and turned on the amplification.
Jin's mother's anxious voice came from inside, and she asked, "Qingchuan!" Cheerful! Have you been able to get in touch with Kaiyan?! ”
Mama Jin's anxious voice spread out in the room, and Chen Qingchuan looked at me.
Under his gaze, I didn't speak.
He stopped looking at me and said to Jin's mother in the phone: "Aunt Jin, it's okay to be happy, you don't have to worry, she is resting at home and didn't hear your call." ”
With that, he walked over and handed me his phone.
I looked at it, took the phone from his hand and put it to my ear, and immediately replied: "Mother Jin, it's me, I'm Kaiyan." ”
As soon as Mama Jin heard my voice, she immediately said, "Open face! Why didn't you answer my call again? What the hell is going on with you lately, why do you always not answer the phone for no reason, do you know that you scared Mama Jin to death! ”
I knew that I couldn't avoid today's scolding, so I immediately explained to Jin's mother the reason why I didn't answer the phone, but who knew that Jin's mother not only didn't listen, but also strongly asked me to live back in the old house on the phone, saying that I wouldn't let me live alone outside.
Hearing this, I immediately said to Jin's mother: "Jin's mother! The signal on my side is not good, so I won't tell you first, what's the matter with you, I'll come back when I'm back, and we'll talk about it. ”
I immediately stuffed the phone back into Chen Qingchuan's hand and refused to answer the phone again.
Chen Qingchuan glanced at me, picked up the phone and put it in his ear to call Jin's mother.
He went to the side to answer the phone, and it wasn't until how he appeased Jin's mother later, and then he came back, and the call was over.
I looked at him, and I had already finished my porridge.
It was already twelve o'clock, and it was close to a little bit, and I thought about it and said, "There should be nothing going on here, you can go back." ”
I was already lying on the bed, looking at him.
And he didn't shirk my urging, he said, "Well, I'm just here to talk to you about this, it's late, I should go, there shouldn't be anything I need help here." ”
The tone was a little stranger and alienated than before, and when I heard it, I shook my head: "No, there is a nurse in the hanging water, I just need to sleep." ”
Chen Qingchuan said: "I have told the nurse that she will come over several times in the middle of the night, and if you need anything, remember to tell her." ”
"yes, I see."
When he heard this, he went to the chair and put on his clothes, and after putting on his coat, he did not look back, but paused for two seconds before leaving the ward.
I lay down and looked at it for a long time, and my hand was clenched into a fist before I slowly relaxed.
After Chen Qingchuan left, I was the only one left here.
I was still speechless, and it was late at night, so there was hardly anyone walking around the hospital. No one spoke, and I shrank in fear.
He closed his eyes and told himself not to be afraid.
But lying down until the middle of the night, I don't know if I squinted in a daze for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, the light in the room was actually off.
My first instinct was to sit up from my bed and look around the room, it was pitch black, and I immediately turned on the lights again.
The ward seemed to be crying, vaguely as if it was a woman.
I subconsciously lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but my hand only moved twice, I felt something pull my arm, I looked back, it turned out that there was still a drip hanging on my hand.
I glanced out the door again, and I was going to forget it, but the cry became clearer.
It was the first time I had been hospitalized alone in the hospital at night, and hearing this strange cry in the middle of the night made my heart hairy and my back cold.
I was the kind of person who was more scared, the more I wanted to find out, so I simply ripped the needle off my arm, got out of bed with my shoes, and walked out of the hospital room slowly.
When I got to the door of the ward, the cry became clearer and faster, as if it was crying at my door.
I raised my hand to open the door, but who knew that my hand was shaking terribly.
I swallowed, subconsciously tightened my body, and then whispered out, "Who... Out there? ”
The cry paused for a second or two, but then it continued.
I finally stopped hesitating, plucked up the courage, and simply held the doorknob directly, I didn't think much about it, just pulled the door hard, and I looked out with wide eyes.
But there was nothing outside the door, only a dark corridor, and the crying stopped abruptly.
I thought it was so strange that I looked left and right, and the nurses' station was also dark, with only a few night lights on.
I slipped through my slippers and walked down the dark hallway.
The crying began to come again, and I walked towards the source, as if it came from a ward, but when I stopped in front of the door of a ward, the crying stopped again.
There was not a single light in the room, and the hallway was almost as dark as it was, and I stood there for a few seconds.
I was almost certain that the crying was coming from this room, and I didn't think much of it as I was about to continue walking inside.
Suddenly, the lights in the hallway turned on instantly, and I was so startled that I immediately looked back.
I noticed a person standing behind me, a woman, looking at me with her hair scattered, and I looked back at her.
Her withered face pulled an eerie smile at me.
Just as I was staring at her, the half-closed door of the ward in front of me was suddenly blown by a strong gust of wind, and there was a bang! The door was closed in an instant!
I screamed and covered my ears and ran forward, but who knew that after a few steps, suddenly my hands grabbed me from the darkness, and I screamed in panic with wide eyes.
The lights in the corridor suddenly turned on in an instant, and the person who grabbed me turned out to be Chen Qingchuan.
He's frowning at me, and he's not leaving?!
I don't know what's going on.
Chen Qingchuan saw that my face was frightened, and his whole body trembled with fear, and he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
As soon as I saw that it was him, I subconsciously turned around and looked behind me, the woman was still standing there, I threw myself into Chen Qingchuan's arms like crazy, crying and saying, "I'm afraid!" ”
Chen Qingchuan then understood what was going on, he looked at the middle-aged woman with her hair scattered and looking at me with a strange expression, he hugged me, comforted me and said, "This is a person." ”
Then a nurse rushed out of the nurse's desk, and as soon as the nurse saw the woman, she exclaimed, "Good aunt! Why do you come out in the middle of the night without sleeping and scary? ”
The nurse immediately dragged the woman over and said to us, "I'm sorry, this is a mentally ill person, I've been living with us for a while, didn't it scare you, did I?" ”
The middle-aged woman who was dragged by the nurse actually started crying again.
That's when I realized that the cry was from her!
