Chapter 23: The Long Night

Entering November, the weather gradually cooled down, Chen Xiaodi's class was over, and the study tasks were not as heavy as before, but his physical condition was not very good.

The back pain is more frequent than before, every day just after dark, I start to feel sleepy, and the sense of taste seems to be a little abnormal, at first it was fine, but by the middle of November, it was already a little serious.

"Xiaodi, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking so much? ”

"It's alright...... It's just a little bit ...... Cold ......"

Now that the beginning of winter has just passed, the weather is not too cold, and it is enough to wear a sweater and a coat during the day, but at night, Chen Xiaodi has already changed into a thick silk quilt.

Every day when I sleep, Xiaodi is wrapped tightly, obviously hot as if in the stove, but I always feel very cold inexplicably, and I can't help but shiver, and this feeling will not disappear until I fall asleep.

It has been raining continuously in recent days, and the temperature is a little low, before going out, Chen Xiaodi added a sweater according to Bai Ye's instructions, and wore her favorite black windbreaker outside, saving him from meeting him again.

Out of the dormitory building, the cold wind blew in my face, and it was cold and cold on my face, but fortunately, I was dressed warmly, but I didn't feel cold.

Bai Ye also had a lot less classes in the second half of the semester, knowing that Chen Xiaodi was not in a good state recently, he began to study nutritional recipes again, and the dormitory did not allow the use of high-power electrical appliances, so they usually went to the home-cooked restaurant where the price was close to the people.

It was Wednesday, and it happened that the two of them didn't have classes in the afternoon, Bai Ye remembered a Tianma chicken hot pot restaurant he saw earlier, so he asked Chen Xiaodi to eat, thinking about replenishing her body.

In the past, when I was at home, Chen Xiaodi loved to eat this, the refreshing soup base tasted delicious, and several medicinal materials such as gastrodia and Shou Wu were boiled in it, which was rich in nutrition. Some stores will also provide notoginseng powder, and drink a bowl of soup with notoginseng powder before the meal, which is delicious with a little bitterness, but the taste is also very good.

Recently, Chen Xiaodi has always been motion sickness when she takes the bus, although it is uncomfortable to walk far away with back pain, but it is better than motion sickness after all, so Bai Ye accompanied her to the hotel slowly.

"Will you still feel cold for the next two days?"

"Hmm."

"Or is it only at night, not during the day?"

"Hmm."

"Did you tell Auntie?"

"I said so, she said to observe for a few days."

"Hmmm......"

Bai Ye agreed gently, looking a little worried.

"What about back pain? Is it better? Or does it hurt more? ”

"Doesn't seem to have changed...... I've been in pain for a while, but I didn't feel any pain that was particularly bad. ”

"Why don't you go back to the hospital?"

"We'll see when my mom comes."

"Auntie is coming?"

"Well, she said take me to the Chinese medicine I have been seeing."

"It's okay, I feel like his medicine works pretty well for you."

"Yes, he has many patients with the same disease as me, and the longest has been taking his Chinese medicine for more than ten years, and it is said that he is well conditioned."

"That's good, my mother often says that looking at Chinese medicine is actually about fate, and finding the right few medicines can have an effect, but if it's not suitable, it's useless to drink more."

"I've heard this too, and I remember my mom telling me that my cousin had a cough when he was a kid and took a lot of doctors' medicines that didn't work, but the doctor who came to see him later had a good effect, but it didn't work for me."

"When is Auntie coming?"

"This weekend."

"Then call me, and I'll go with you."

"Hmm."

In the evening, Chen Xiaodi wrapped the quilt tightly early and tried to fall asleep, but the headache was so bad that he didn't feel sleepy until the lights went out.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Xiaodi fell asleep in a daze, at this time there was a rapid knock on the door outside the dormitory, and the girl in the lower bunk hurriedly opened the door, it was the deputy head of the class who lived in the dormitory next door.

"Xiaodi! Xiaodi! ”

“…… Well......? ”

"How are you? Are you alright? ”

"Hmm...... What's wrong? ”

"Just now, the head teacher called me and said that your aunt called you several times and you didn't answer, she is very worried about you now, you should call her back."

"Ah...... Okay, thanks. ”

Chen Xiaodi hurriedly picked up her mobile phone and saw that not only Chen's mother, but also her homeroom teacher had called her several times, and now, it was past twelve o'clock in the night.

"Hey, Mom......"

"How are you? Are you alright? Does your head still hurt?! ”

As soon as the phone was connected, Chen's mother's anxious voice came, more than an hour ago, Chen Xiaodi called her, crying and telling her that she had a headache, for so many years, Chen Xiaodi had never cried like this, and it really hurt a lot.

But this is not the first time that Chen Xiaodi has had a headache because of cervical spine pain, so Chen's mother didn't worry too much at first, but just said as before: It's useless for you to tell me that it hurts.

Later, Chen Xiaodi hung up the phone and sent her several crying expressions, and after a while, when she called again, no one answered, so scared that Chen's mother thought that her daughter was fainting in pain, so she quickly called the head teacher and asked him to help ask what was going on.

"It doesn't hurt anymore......"

"Stinky girl, why didn't you answer my phone just now, I'm in a hurry, I thought you fainted in pain!"

"I ...... Asleep...... The phone is silent. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, go to bed early."

"Hmm."

After that, Chen Xiaodi called his homeroom teacher again, and everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed.

The next day, Bai Ye heard about last night's incident from his mother, and hurriedly called Lin Da after class.

"How are you feeling right now? Still have a headache? ”

"It's all right."

"You've never been like this before, I was really shocked when my mom told me, are you really okay? Didn't lie to me? ”

"It's really fine."

"Let's go back to the hospital for a check-up, it's not a way to always hurt like this."

"Let's look at it later, I don't think I can find anything famous, my mother said, I was only a few months old when I was in pain, I checked it at that time, and there was nothing abnormal."

"But it's okay, it doesn't hurt for no reason, right?"

"Wait until the holidays, if you want to do physiotherapy or something, it may take a long time."

"Alas...... When will you get better completely, it is also a matter for all of us. ”

"I'm not doing well now, and the medicine is taken on time, so you can rest assured."

Bai Ye and the two mothers were very worried, and asked Chen Xiaodi about the situation on several phone calls a day, for fear that she would have an accident.

Chen Xiaodi is extraordinarily indifferent, constantly comforting them, for so many years, she has become accustomed to being a person who encourages others, so in the eyes of most people, she has always been a positive and sunny person, and it is rare to see her negative side.

But that night, Chen Xiaodi posted a long, extremely sad dynamic, but what really distressed was what she wrote at the end, the brave struggle of tenacious life and illness.
