Lu Li and Jian Xi's escort qualification match starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

In the morning, I woke up with a sudden pain in my upper abdomen, and ran to the toilet with my stomach in my hands, only to see Jian Xi slowly drawing her eyebrows in the mirror of the toilet.

"Jian Xi, you come out first and let me go to the toilet." I stomped my foot and urged Jian Xi.

But Jian Xi glanced at me and continued to draw her eyebrows unhurriedly, "Don't rush me, it's all crooked." ”

My abdomen hurt so badly that I ran into the toilet and pushed Jian Xi out, locked the door, and sat down on the toilet with peace of mind.

Jian Xi shouted through the toilet door, "You madman, I painted makeup for 1 hour, and all my eyebrows were ruined by you." ”

I imagined Jian Xi's angry green face, and I couldn't help laughing, and this smile made my stomach hurt even more.

Last night, Gu Zipei had to take me to his brother's newly opened barbecue restaurant, and he must have eaten something unclean, which caused me to have diarrhea.

Jian Xi's scolding voice gradually disappeared, and after a few minutes, I heard the door "slam" shut, it should be Jian Xi out to participate in the competition.

After coming out of the toilet, the pain in my abdomen was slightly reduced, and I sat on the sofa to make a phone call to count Gu Zipei, but I saw Jian Xi's participation card on the coffee table. Such an important thing, she actually left it at home, she hasn't come back to pick it up yet, she must not have found it yet.

I picked up my badge and grimaced at Jian Xi, who was smiling as bright as a flower, "Let you usually bully people, the badge didn't show how you compete." ”

I looked up at the clock, there was only half an hour left before the game, and the competition venue was in the Youth Palace west of Dragon City, and Jian Xi would not have time to rush back to pick it up now. Although I do hate Jian Xi very much, and I feel disgusted for what she did, but Jian Xi, like Lu Li, has practiced hard for this competition for more than a month, if she can't participate in the competition, I really don't know what will happen to her who has always been arrogant? Besides, she's still my cousin, who is related by blood.

I didn't think much about it, went back to my room to change my clothes, grabbed the badge on the table and went downstairs.

Out of the community, I took a taxi locally.

After driving for nearly ten minutes, I was unexpectedly stuck in a traffic jam.

I looked at my watch, it was already 8:45, "Master, can you go another way?" I'm in a hurry. ”

"Little classmate, I can't turn around here. After a traffic light in front of you, you will reach the Youth Palace, or you can get out of the car and run over now, maybe faster. ”

I looked at the endless queue in front of me and decided to take the master's advice, I threw the money to the master, and generously said "no need to look for it" and jumped out of the car.

I held Jian Xi's participation card tightly in my hand, spread my legs and ran desperately.

At 8:55, I saw Jian Xi squatting in front of the door of the Youth Palace, rummaging through a pile of cosmetics, piano scores, and wallets on the ground, and Lu Li was standing next to her, frowning and looking at the things on the ground.

"Jian Xi," I gasped and handed my entry card to Jian Xi, "your entry card is here." ”

Jian Xi raised her head and grabbed the participation card, her eyes were red, she had always been sharp-toothed, and suddenly stammered, "You, I ....."

Maybe I ran too fast just now, and suddenly there was a cramp in my lower right abdomen, and I squatted down in pain while holding my stomach, and then my stomach turned over and over, and I vomited with a wow.

"Vera Ye ......"

"Sister.....

Lu Li and Jian Xi supported me at the same time, and Jian Xi was obviously frightened by me, and the hand holding me trembled.

At this time, the staff reminded that the game would start immediately after one minute, and the players who did not enter the stadium would enter immediately.

I endured the pain and weakly pushed Jian Xi and Lu Li, "I had a bad stomach last night, it's fine." Go and play. ”

Jian Xi looked at me in embarrassment, "But your face is frighteningly white. ”

"Jian Xi, you go in, I'll take Ye Zhenzhen to the hospital."

Without waiting for Jian Xi to answer, Lu Li almost dragged me to the side of the road, stopped a taxi, and stuffed me into the back seat of the car.

"Master, please go to the nearest hospital." Lu Li said calmly to the master.

The master glanced at me from the rearview mirror, "Okay, sit down." ”

The car was speeding down the road, but the pain in my lower right abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and I curled up on the seat because of the pain, sweat dripping down my forehead, and I felt like I was going to die.

"Zhen Zhen, if you bear with me, you will be in the hospital soon." Lu Li whispered softly to soothe my flustered emotions.

"Lu Li, my stomach is getting more and more painful, I ...... Isn't it..... I'm going to die. I opened my eyes weakly and saw Lu Li also sweating profusely and looking at me anxiously.

Lu Li grabbed my hand, held it tightly, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you." ”

I remember the last time I held his hand at the New Year's Eve concert two years ago, Lu Li's hand was big and warm, like a warm current flowing into my body, and my heart gradually settled down.

When I arrived at the hospital, I was carried into the emergency room by several nurses, and the doctor pressed my abdomen and said to me, "It's acute appendicitis, and I need immediate surgery, and I need my family to sign it immediately." ”

"But my family didn't ....."

Lu Li interrupted me, "I'm her family, I'll sign." ”

The doctor glanced at Lu Li and reminded, "Are you an adult?" The minor's signature is invalid. ”

"I'm an adult in March this year, doctor, you should do surgery quickly, she's going to die of pain." Lu Li looked at me who was almost rolling on the bed and urged the doctor.

Soon, I was wheeled into the operating room and gradually lost consciousness under the effects of the anesthetic needles.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying in the general hospital room. Dad, Mom, Jian Xi, Gu Zijin, Gu Zipei, and Lin Zhi filled the small ward.

"Mom and Dad, woo, I'm alive."

I complained to my parents with a handful of snot and tears as if I had been reborn after a catastrophe.

After a while in my mother's arms, my mother touched my head, "Zhenzhen, the doctor said that you will stay in the hospital for three more days, and your father and I will go home and bring you a change of clothes." ”

I nodded, reluctantly waving goodbye to them.

As soon as my parents left, Gu Zijin and the others surrounded me and asked for warmth.

Seeing that my parents were gone, Gu Zipei was the first to rush to the bed and grabbed my hand, "Zhen Zhen, you won't be like this because you ate barbecue yesterday, I'll go and demolish his shop later." ”

I struggled to pull my hand out and said weakly, "No, you see you'll be fine if you eat it." ”

Gu Zijin pushed Gu Zipei away and sat on the edge of my bed, "Zhen Zhen, how did you become so weak recently, you have a high fever and appendicitis, when Lu Li called me, I was so scared that I almost rolled off the bed." ”

Lu Li, isn't he participating in a piano competition? How will I know I'm in the hospital?

I remembered Lu Li holding my hand in the taxi and saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you." ”

remembered that Lu Li said to the doctor: "I am her family, I will sign." ”

Oh my God, this wasn't a dream at all, Lu Li gave up the game in order to take me to the hospital!

I glanced at the ward, but I didn't see Lu Li, so I asked Jian Xi, who had been standing far away in the corner of the ward, "Jian Xi, did Lu Li go to the competition?" ”

Jian Xi didn't know what he was messing with, so he lowered his head and didn't look at me, "No, he never came back after he took you to the hospital." ”

Brother Lin Zhi said that it is absolutely no problem to ensure the sound of Lu Li's qualifications. But now because of me, he has missed such a precious opportunity.

I should have been so guilty that I was about to cry, but I didn't expect Jian Xi to suddenly cry, and everyone was taken aback.

Jian Xi wiped her tears and walked to my bedside, "Cousin, I'm sorry. You all went to the hospital to get me a pass. I....... Whining. ”

I tilted my head to see Jian Xi crying profusely, completely lost her usual arrogant appearance, this little goblin won't be playing any tricks again, "Jian Xi, you...... Are you kidding me? ”

Jian Xi shook her head like a rattle, "Although I usually like to target you, I don't want to see you get hurt. And, and I did that to you before, but you didn't care about it. It's me who is too cautious. ”

Jian Xi said it very sincerely, and I think she really knew that she was wrong this time.

"I didn't go to the hospital because of you," I thought for a moment, using the most popular explanation, "it's just that I have something extra in my stomach and want to take it out." ”

Lin Zhi patted Jian Xi's shoulder gently, "You are a good boy if you know how to change your mistakes, Xiaoxi performed very well this time and won the first prize in the competition." ”

"yes, congratulations to Jian Xi."

But Jian Xi was still sullen, she lowered her head in shame, "Originally, the first prize belonged to Lu Li, if you hadn't given me the participation card and had a stomachache, Lu Li wouldn't have given up the competition and sent you to the hospital, I hurt you." ”

I took Jian Xi's hand, "Don't think about it. ”

"Yes, the safety of a good friend is definitely a little more important than the future." Gu Zijin smiled and responded to me.

Lin Zhi also comforted: "I believe in Lu Li's talent, and he will definitely be able to get good results in the art examination." ”

It was supposed to be someone who came to visit me, and it would have turned into a consolation meeting for Jan Hee.

Because I needed to recuperate after surgery, Gu Zijin stayed with them for a while and left.

My parents haven't returned to the hospital yet, I am the only one in the ward, the corridor is quiet, I think of the horror story Gu Zipei once told me about the hospital, I was so panicked that I didn't dare to close my eyes to sleep, so I could only stare at the white ceiling in a daze.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps and rustling at the door, and I unconsciously grabbed the quilt and shrank my head into the quilt.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped at my bedside.

I was so frightened that I grabbed the quilt and covered my head, and shouted at the thing next to the bed, "You, you go away, don't look for me." ”

The quilt was suddenly lifted, and Lu Li looked at me with a dark face, "Ye Zhenzhen, I remember that you didn't move your head during the operation." ”

"Lu Li, it turned out to be you, I thought it was ......"

"What is it?"

"No, it's nothing." I embarrassed to let go of the clutched quilt, "Where did you just go?" ”

Lu Li put the plastic bag on the bedside table, "Oh, I saw your parents coming, so I went to have a meal." ”

I pointed to the plastic bag and asked, "What is this?" ”

"The doctor said you can only eat liquid food and fruit now, I remember the last time you told my grandma that you like to eat apples."

Lu Li said as he took out apples and a fruit knife from the bag, and peeled them very carefully.

Unexpectedly, what he said inadvertently at Lu Li's house at the beginning, he always remembered it in his heart.

I suddenly remembered that on the day I had a high fever, downstairs at home, Lu Li was also carrying a bag of apples, could it be that he specially bought apples that day to visit me.

I pointed to the half-peeled apple in Lu Li's hand and asked cautiously, "Lu Li, this apple shouldn't be the bag you were going to give me on the day I had a fever, right?" ”

Lu Li's hand holding the knife trembled, and he looked up at me, "It's very smart." ”

I quietly looked at Lu Li's slender fingers, such a beautiful hand, which should have won applause on the field, was helping me peel apples at this time.

"Lu Li, I'm sorry. Because I caused you to lose your escort qualification. But don't be depressed, Brother Lin Zhi said that with your talent, you will definitely be admitted to Yinda. ”

Lu Li didn't seem to care at all, he handed me the peeled apple, and carefully helped me shake the hospital bed to the right position, and suddenly asked me thoughtlessly: "Ye Zhenzhen, why don't you call me brother?" ”

I was stunned, "Why should I call you brother?" ”

"Aren't you always calling Brother Lin Zhi?"

"That's because Brother Lin Zhi is 4 years older than me, isn't it normal for me to call him brother?"

"Then I'm 3 months older than you, and you have to call me brother."

Lu Li actually counted the months more seriously, and at this moment I suddenly felt that Lu Li was naïve like a child.

I stretched out my hand and pretended to touch Lu Li's forehead, "Lu Li, you don't have a fever, do you?" ”

Lu Li gently pushed my hand away, "If you don't call it, forget it." Do you particularly admire Lin Zhi? ”

"Brother Lin Zhi is a piano genius like you, and he is kind to people, and the children in the neighborhood like him. He seemed to know everything, handicraft, painting, and even Sudoku, and I admired him at that time. ”

"Really?" Lu Li glanced at his face and pretended to look out the window, but his words were sour.

I snickered in my heart, is Lu Li jealous?

"However, the person I admire most right now is you!"
