He said he doesn't love me

The sunset glows across the sky, casting a tiny glimmer of light. Day and night take turns, and another half of the day has passed.

At this time, lights were lit up in the courtyard, and the orange-yellow light seemed to leave a sunset glow all over the sky, peaceful and beautiful.

"squeak--"

Li Cheng opened the door and planned to wake Sun Ran up to eat.

Although it was already spring, the temperature at night was still enough to make people shiver. Li Cheng couldn't help rubbing his hands, opened the closet and changed into a thick coat.

"Zorn, Zorn, get up." He walked to the bed, patted Sun Ran on the shoulder, and asked, "Did you bring thick clothes? It's very cold at night, get up quickly."

"Um... cough cough cough... what time is it... cough cough cough..." Sun Ran responded to him in a daze, but couldn't help coughing as soon as he opened his mouth. Li Cheng couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard the sound, and reached out to touch his forehead. Unfortunately, it was very hot.

Got a fever.

"Get up, let's go to the hospital." Li Cheng's face turned cold, and he directly found a piece of clothing in the closet and put it on him. "Can't you feel that you have a fever? Get up quickly, or you will get burned stupidly."

Sun Ran swallowed and tried hard to open his eyelids to look at him, "I'm fine... no need to go to the hospital... I cough, cough, cough!! Ugh..." But what he said was not convincing at all.

Li Cheng didn't listen to him. He just put on the shoes for the man and dragged him out. "How old are you? Are you still afraid of going to the hospital? How can you not go to the hospital when you are sick? It's very fast to drive there. Let's go."

Sun Ran broke free from his hand and sat down on the bed, saying with a hint of impatience, "I told you I'm not going, don't you understand?! I... I'll be fine after a while of sleep... I'm not going to the hospital..."

He frowned and shook his head vigorously, trying to suppress the nausea, but he didn't expect that this made him even more dizzy.

"What if you don't go to the hospital? You have a fever now. Be obedient and don't be stubborn. I'll go with you. It's okay. You'll just get an injection and some medicine and be back." Seeing this, Li Cheng had to half squat down and gently comfort him. He didn't know if what he said had irritated Sun Ran and made him so resistant to going to the hospital.

"No, I said I won't go!!" Sun Ran gasped for breath. Maybe it was because of the fever, his throat felt like it was on fire and it hurt a lot to speak.

Everything in front of him was covered with mist, so no matter how hard he opened his eyes, he couldn't see clearly. This feeling made him feel a little confused...

How could my health be so bad? I clearly...

She was apparently healthy, how could she become like this? Why did she become like this? ! !

"I... I don't want to, I don't want to... I don't want to go to the hospital..." The headache, weakness and shortness of breath trapped him in a dead end, and even his only way to seek help was blocked by his cough.

Crazy, crazy!

Why don't you just die!!

"I'm not……"

Seeing that something was not right with him, Li Cheng hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to his mouth. After finally feeding some of it, he spit it out again.

"Zorn, Zorn? It's me, Li Cheng. Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't be afraid... I'm with you." Li Cheng didn't expect him to react so strongly. He just wanted to take him to the hospital, but...

Is he averse to the word "hospital"?

Is it something that happened in the hospital before?

"I won't go..." Sun Ran leaned on his chest, no longer able to distinguish between reality and imagination. All he could see before his eyes were unclear faces and darkness without any light.

"Okay, okay, we won't go. I'll go get you some antipyretic medicine." Li Cheng pursed his lips, but there was no antipyretic medicine at home except for the high blood pressure medicine that his grandmother always had.

"No..." Sun Ran bit his lip, trying to use the pain to block out the memories of the past, but it was of no avail. Those things that he had clearly forgotten, those past events that he had clearly tried desperately to escape from, now appeared before his eyes bit by bit.

He had to accept the reality - he was a madman, a madman that no one liked.

Why don't you just die?! They are all dead, why are you still alive?!

Yes...why am I still alive...

The dizziness slowly disappeared, and he finally regained some clarity. "Li Cheng... I'm much better. Let's go to the hospital." Sun Ran said as he tried to get up, but he had no strength in his body and couldn't do it.

Li Cheng took back his comforting hand and helped him stand up, "If you really don't like going to the hospital, we can come back after getting the medicine, okay?"

"Ahem... It's okay. I'm much better. Let's go." Sun Ran let out a breath and took two steps towards the door. Seeing that he was so stubborn, Li Cheng didn't want to provoke him anymore and had to take him to the car.

They lived in a remote area, and their grandparents wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains, so it took them about half an hour to drive to the hospital.

Sun Ran was coughing all the way, and the sound of his labored breathing made Li Cheng want to look back at him. However, it was inconvenient to drive, so he had to endure it and tried his best to control himself and concentrate on driving.

"Zon, don't sleep, we'll be there soon." He glanced in the rearview mirror. Sun Ran wasn't in good condition. If he fainted, it would be difficult to deal with.

“I’m not asleep… Just drive carefully and don’t worry about me.” Sun Ran looked at the gradually brightening buildings outside the window and realized that they had entered the city. He propped himself up and sat up straight, “What about grandma and the others? Call them later and tell them not to wait… cough cough…”

"Do you still want to vomit? It's almost there, just bear with it." Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he seemed to be much more sober.

"It's okay, I'm so sleepy..." Sun Ran yawned. The dizziness already made him feel uncomfortable, and now he was feeling sleepy again. He felt like his head was going to split open.

The pain was so severe that he wanted to bang his head against the wall, but there was no wall, only the car window.

Sun Ran licked his lips and simply leaned against the car window. The bumps in the car made him feel a little more comfortable, but the effect was minimal.

If only I had a knife, he thought.

Even with a knife, I can't move my hands...

Sun Ran looked up helplessly at the tall buildings opposite. He didn't expect that this city, which was famous for its delicious food, would see such a scene on his first visit.

Five minutes later, the car finally stopped in front of the city hospital. After Li Cheng parked the car, he took people to the respiratory department to register. For some reason, even though it was almost seven o'clock, there were still many people here.

There were three more numbers ahead of them. Li Cheng took a look at the numbers and sat on a chair beside them. "I'll go get you some water, okay? It'll be our turn soon. Just bear with me."

Sun Ran shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to drink water. "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep..."

"You can't sleep, you understand?" Li Cheng touched his forehead and blew air at him to make him feel more comfortable and prevent him from falling asleep while talking.

Sun Ran blinked and turned his head to look aside, "Let's go back, there are so many people..."

Li Cheng frowned upon hearing this, "We've come this far, what's the point of going back now? No matter what, you have to get the medicine before you go back, right?"

That’s right. Sun Ran curled his lips and said, “I’m so hungry. I haven’t eaten anything…” The lunch he had at Sun’s house had been digested long ago. He sighed and didn’t expect Li Cheng to conjure up something edible out of thin air.

Li Cheng rubbed his head. "I'll order takeout for you. It's not good to be hungry." He took out his phone and opened the takeout app, and ordered two servings of millet porridge. "Order some egg custard, the taste of this one is pretty good, okay?"

Sun Ran nodded. As long as it was food, he didn't want to make any more comments. Li Cheng sighed and let him lean his head on his shoulder to make it more comfortable.

"Thank you." Sun Ran no longer refused and leaned his head on his shoulder. "You are so nice. You must have been a lovable child since childhood."

"You're overthinking. I was very naughty when I was a kid, and I often fought with others." Li Cheng bent down slightly to let him lean more comfortably, and raised his right hand to show him, "This wound is from a fight I had before. A layer of skin fell off, and I was beaten up by my dad."

Sun Ran took a look and saw a long scar on the little finger of his right hand, which looked like a knife scar. It was no longer clear, and only a trace of lighter color than the surrounding area could prove its existence.

"Scar?"

Li Cheng didn't expect that he could see it at a glance, and grinned, "Yeah, but I lied to them that it was scratched by a stone. I didn't expect you to be able to see it at a glance, you have a really good eye."

Sun Ran shook his head and chuckled, "My eyesight is not very good, but I am very familiar with this scar."

I am covered in this ugly thing.

"...It's our turn." Li Cheng was about to say something when he saw their number on the call plate. He helped Sun Ran into the clinic, and when he came out, he received a call for takeout.

He took a look and thought that Sun Ran would not be back so soon, so he hurried out to get takeout. When he came back, he saw Sun Ran already sitting in the same chair with an IV drip in his hand.

"Why so fast? What did the doctor say?" Li Cheng sat over, looked at his hand carefully, then raised his eyes to look at the hanging medicine, azithromycin.

Sun Ran raised his face and smiled at him. "The doctor only asked a few questions during the consultation. The doctor said that the fever was caused by a bacterial infection. You should rest more after the IV drip. You need to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine later."

"Okay, it's not a virus. I'll call home and tell them so they don't worry. I'll get the medicine in a bit. Eat something first."

"it is good."

After eating, Li Cheng threw the garbage into the trash can outside the hospital, and then called home.

"Hello? What's going on? Are you feeling better?" Li Xujing had been answering the phone without even washing the dishes. The moment he heard the phone ringing, his heart rose to his throat.

"Don't worry, it's just a bacterial cold. You'll be able to leave after the IV. Don't worry, you and grandma, go to bed early. It may be very late when we go back, so you don't have to wait for dinner. We ordered porridge and just ate it." Li Cheng touched his pocket and had the urge to smoke, but after thinking about it, he held back.

It’s not a good habit after all. Once you’ve given it up, you can’t do it again.

"That's good, that's good. I'm glad you're okay. Why did you suddenly have a fever? Ranran, don't you have thick clothes? Take you to buy some new clothes tomorrow. Although it's spring, the temperature difference between morning and night is still very large, and it's easy to catch a cold." Li Xujing looked at the time. It was already past eight o'clock, and he didn't know when they would be back.

"Kid, tell me the truth, what did your grandfather say?"

Li Cheng remained silent and looked up at the night sky quietly.

Seeing this, Li Xujing also understood. He sighed slightly, "Boy, don't pay attention to that old man. He is always weird. I accept this kid. Don't pay attention to your grandfather."

"Thank you, Dad. Actually, grandpa didn't say anything. He just said that our destiny hasn't arrived yet, and it's not good for anyone to be involved with each other... I didn't believe it at first." Li Cheng raised his hand and touched his chest, where there was always a stone pressing on him.

Situations like today's will happen countless times in the future. Does he really have the ability to take care of him and protect him?

He didn't know anything about what happened to Sun Ran in the past. How could it be possible that a person who had lived in a shelter for many years could recognize a scar that had been there for a long time?

"So do you believe it now? Brat, to like someone, it's the heart that counts, not the so-called fate. That old man used to say that your mother and I weren't destined to be together, but now you're married?" Li Xujing sniffed, "Your grandmother said that she looked weak, which shows that you haven't taken good care of her. Keep working on it."
