Chapter 37: Claustrophobia

When Qi Wanran woke up, it was already half past ten in the evening, the hospital had passed the visiting time, and it was very quiet, only a reading lamp next to the bed was on, and the milky white light shrouded a small world.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Awake? How does it feel? Jing Tingyao sat on the small sofa next to him and asked, "What do you want to eat?" I'll have someone buy it for you. ”

"I don't want to eat, I'm dizzy, and I feel like the whole room is spinning." Qi Wanran's mental state was not very good, and he felt very tired.

It would be better to close her eyes, but Qi Wanran didn't want to, she wanted to see Jing Tingyao now and make sure that someone was with her.

"What the hell happened tonight?" Jing Tingyao's brows furrowed slightly, "Didn't you say you were waiting there?" ”

Qi Wanran's lips twitched twice, hesitating to tell Jing Tingyao about Qianqian.

"Don't hide it at all." Jing Tingyao narrowed his eyes for a moment.

"Okay." Qi Wanran sighed and told Jing Tingyao everything about tonight.

"I'm not sure what they're doing, it's just suspicious." Qi Wanran rubbed the corners of his forehead and suppressed the feeling of wanting to vomit.

Jing Tingyao angrily stuffed a plum into someone's mouth, "I inflicted it on myself." ”

Qi Wanran doesn't like to eat sour, Jing Tingyao specially asked people to buy pearl plums, and when he bit into the core, a stream of syrup flowed out.

"The security guard at the hotel eats rice? If there is anything you can't tell them, you have to run over to it. It's a shame that the woman is still a little sane, otherwise it would have been possible for you to confess there today. Jing Tingyao reprimanded, "I like to join in the fun so much, so I might as well change my career to be a paparazzi." ”

Lawyer Qi, who knew that he was wrong, didn't dare to refute, so he could only look at the other party with plum eyes in his eyes, and he was pitiful.

Jing Tingyao's heart softened, but he refused to give in for half a point, "Even if you don't look for a security guard, at least tell me, do you know how long I've been looking for you today?" Almost the whole hotel knows you're lost. ”

Qi Wanran sneered twice, trying to change the topic to something else, "Then what are you going to do with it later?" ”

"It's not something you should worry about." There was not the slightest room for negotiation in Jing Tingyao's tone, "In the next week, you will lie in the hospital honestly for me, and I will let Aunt Fang come and watch you, if you make any more trouble for me, I will ......"

"Oh, can't I recover well?" Qi Wanran pouted and was unhappy, "You are really boring, I am like this, and you still scold me." ”

"You shouldn't be scolded?" Jing Tingyao asked rhetorically.

"I didn't say that I shouldn't, but you comforted me a few words, besides, I can't be blamed for this......" Qi Wanran's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, he had to fight with mosquitoes.

Jing Tingyao snorted coldly, and then slowed down his tone, "Let me ask you, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Qi Wanran blinked, "No." ”

"The doctor told me to pay more attention to your emotions during this time." Jing Tingyao's gaze fell on Qi Wanran's arm, "How did you get these injuries?" ”

Qi Wanran was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jing Tingyao's gaze, the scar on his arm was obvious, and now it was red dots, and it was really strange and scary to look at. But she's used to the scarsβ€”

"I'm claustrophobic." Qi Wanran touched the bite mark on his wrist, "I can't stay in a closed environment, especially when I'm alone. I would be scared, have heart palpitations, tremble, feel hard to breathe, and even faint. ”

"When it's serious, I will shrink into a corner, scratching and biting myself." Qi Wanran said softly, "This time it's because the utility room is too small and dark, and I'm too scared." ”

"Actually, it's not a secret from you, sometimes I forget about it myself." Qi Wanran said lightly, "I've never told anyone about this, and you're the first to know." ”

When talking about these things, Qi Wanran's expression would become a little different from her, and the light in her eyes would be much dimmer, almost making Jing Tingyao feel strange.

"Why did you catch yourself?" Jing Tingyao also involuntarily slowed down his tone.

"I wanted to confirm that I existed, or rather, it was a way to vent." Qi Wanran closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and gestured twice in mid-air, "I don't know how to explain to you, you haven't been sick, and you won't understand." ”

Jing Tingyao was stunned for a moment.

Qi Wanran sighed, slowly hugged his knees, and buried his face in the gap between his knees.

Her voice was a little muffled, "Actually, I don't really want people to know this, knowing that I'm a patient, it's a strange feeling for them to be on their toes all the time - will you?" ”

"No, it won't." Jing Tingyao said without hesitation, "Never." ”

Qi Wanran didn't say anything, just a faint "oh", and there was no follow-up.

After another half an hour, Qi Wanran said softly, "Thank you." ”

Thank you for not staying away from me who is so bad.

The room was quiet again, and Jing Tingyao crossed his hands in front of his chest, not knowing what he was thinking. It was Qi Wanran who spoke first to break the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, "Actually, I woke up once when I was in the utility room, and I was very scared, so I started to slam the door desperately, but it was still Qianqian." ”

"My hands and feet were weak, and my whole back was soaked with sweat. She knocked me unconscious with the pole of the broom, and she snatched my bag from me. If you locate it, you should be able to find someone who can find her. ”

Jing Tingyao listened quietly, but did not dwell on this matter, but asked, "Why do you have claustrophobia?" ”

The topic jumped too fast, and Qi Wanran didn't keep up for a while. She reacted for a while before slowly saying, "It has to be traced back to when I was a child, my adoptive mother has always disliked me very much, and my adoptive father has been slightly nicer to me, at least on the surface." ”

"She would always pick some thorns to beat and scold me, and I loved to cry at first. My mom thought I was too noisy and simply locked me in the storage room on the first floor. She paused, "Our house is an old-fashioned community, and the first floor of an entire building is a storage room with small cubicles, stacked with some miscellaneous items. ”

"I remember that it was still winter, and she locked me up in it, and she didn't give me anything to eat or drink all day, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth are not spiritual. I was shivering with cold, and I really felt like I couldn't make it out. Later, the neighbors found out and went up to call them, and I was released. ”

Qi Wanran smiled sarcastically, "Guess what they say?" My mom said she had forgotten about it. ”

She took a deep breath, "Since then, I have had a big psychological shadow of the enclosed space. ”
