Spring Branches

At night, when he went to bed, Lu Yichuan still lost the battle. He changed into a new four-piece suit and changed every possible place in the room, but he still couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Lu Yichuang sat up from the bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the towering skyscrapers, he felt a little sad because there was not a single light on for him among the thousands of lights in the houses.

What is she doing now? Is she asleep?

Lu Yichuan shook a cigarette out of the cigarette box, put it in his mouth and lit it. He took a deep puff and exhaled a circle of white smoke, blurring his vision.

On the first night of separation, he missed her very much.

Lu Yichuan took out his cell phone and took a picture of the scene before him, then opened his memo and wrote:

On January 1th, I stood on a tall building. Thousands of lights were on. I felt particularly lonely. It was the first night we were apart. I missed you very much.

Accompanied by the photo I just took.

The first night after parting with Tang Asi, Lu Yichuan stood in front of the French window all night. At nine o'clock the next day, Ana came to pick him up on time. She said that he had heavy dark circles under his eyes and looked very ugly.

During the meeting at noon, he felt a little exhausted. The person above him was giving a PPT presentation. It was the first time in his life that he fell asleep in such a serious occasion.

After get off work in the afternoon, everyone in the company had left, but Lu Yichuan was still not leaving. He sat at his desk and worked seriously. He didn't leave the company until 10:30 in the evening.

……

This was the third day since they separated after officially being together with Lu Yichuang.

Today, Tang Shiyan took Tang Asi to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. Some of the minor wounds could be removed.

After entering the elevator, Tang Asi somehow pressed the -1st floor. When Tang Shiyan realized what was happening, she cancelled the -1st floor and pressed the st floor again.

She almost never went out of the house alone. Every time she went out, she was with Lu Yichuan. When he went to the underground garage to drive, he would sometimes press the -1 floor button.

Tang Shiyan said: "What's wrong with Ah Si? What are you thinking about?"

Tang Asi shook his head and smiled softly: "I'm wondering if it will hurt when I remove the gauze later."

She told a lie.

But it is well-intentioned.

She didn't want her mother to worry.

She felt that it was wrong for her to miss Lu Yichuan. It had only been two months since she lost her lover.

Since Tang Asi's burns were all over a large area and in places she often appeared, in order not to scare people, she dressed very conservatively. She wore a particularly large cardigan prepared by Lu Yichuan, and a floral scarf on her head.

Tang Shiyan shook her head and smiled: "Still the same as when I was a kid, afraid of pain."

Tang Asi said: "I guess I will never be able to change this habit of being afraid of pain in my lifetime."

"How could that be?" Tang Shiyan said, "You are slowly growing up now. You are slowly experiencing and enduring things that you thought were unbearable. It's just like pain. You will get used to it."

Tang Asi said "Oh", grabbed Tang Shiyan's hand and walked out of the apartment building.

The driver arranged by Lu Yichuan for his business trip was waiting at the door. As soon as they went out, they got into the warm car.

If she had to adapt to the pain, Tang Asi thought, she should be able to get used to it. But if someone cared whether she was in pain or not, she would not get used to it.

She likes to be protected and pampered.

Tang Shiyan asked: "Lu Yichuan has been out for three days. Have you sent her a text message?"

Tang Asi shook his head: "No."

Tang Shiyan said: "Send her a message and ask about her current situation. We should be grateful. He saved your life."

Tang Asi nodded, "Okay."

Then she took out her cell phone from her pocket and looked for a friend in her WeChat address book with the note [Lu Yichuan].

Lu Yichuan's profile picture is a smiling Samoyed, and his nickname is [. ], and their chat dialog box is blank. They have never chatted on it.

[Lu Yichuan, is everything okay on your business trip? ]

whoosh-

The message was sent.

Tang Shiyan saw that Tang Asi sent a WeChat message to Lu Yichuan, and she laughed angrily: "Asi, you are so cold just typing a few words, there is no warmth at all. You should call Lu Yichuan."

"Ah..." Tang Asi frowned: "It's so troublesome to make a phone call..."

Tang Shiyan glared at Tang Asi and said, "He is very busy and will definitely not see the WeChat message. You can only hear it if you call him."

Tang Asi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call him after the examination. It's a good opportunity to tell him the results of the examination."

The two came to the hospital.

It just so happened that Chen Xiao was also in Chen Chen's office.

When Chen Xiao saw the injuries on Tang Asi's body, he didn't know where to start and cried anxiously: "Asi, how could this happen... You must be in pain, those people are so abominable! You must be in pain..."

Tang Asi smiled softly, raising his hand with great effort, and gave Chen Chen that look. Chen Chen picked up a piece of paper to wipe Chen Xiao's tears.

She said, "Okay, okay, it's okay now, don't cry."

Chen Chen said, "Yes, come back for three or four more checkups and you'll be cured."

Chen Xiao stopped crying, but was still sobbing, his back trembling, and said, "Then I pray that you get better soon and don't feel any pain from your wound. After you get better, we'll play together."

Chen Chen looked at Tang Shiyan and said, "Auntie, you and Xiaoxiao go out and wait first. I'll clean Ah Si's wound."

"it is good."

After the two of them left, Chen Chen gently removed the gauze on his two arms.

Tang Asi gasped in pain.

It really hurts! She wants to cry.

Seeing that Tang Asi didn't cry out in pain and was holding on to the corner of the table tightly, Chen Chen admired this little girl very much.

He said: "You can scream if it hurts."

Tang Asi said, "Doctor Chen, please hurry up."

After removing all the gauze, Chen Chen secretly took a photo but forgot to turn off the sound. A click sounded in the silent room.

Tang Asi looked up at Chen Chen and said, "Do we need to take photos when removing the gauze?"

Chen Chen paused for a long time and said, "...Yes, we need to upload the records to the work group. Don't worry, it won't be leaked."

Tang Asi said "Oh" and didn't care anymore.

Chen Chen sent the photo to Lu Yichuang.

After applying medicine on the wound and changing the gauze, the process was over.

Chen Chen helped Tang Asi out of the ward.

Chen Chen said, "Aunt Tang, just come and clean the wounds on Ah Si's body regularly. They won't leave scars. I use the best medicine for Ah Si."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Chen."

"You're welcome."

"Are you going back?" Chen Xiao asked.

Tang Asi said: "Yes, do you want to go to my house?"

Chen Xiao said: "Can I go?"

Tang Asi said: "Of course."

"Then I..."

Before Chen Xiao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chen Chen.

He said: "Xiaoxiao won't go over to disturb Ah Si's recovery. It just so happens that I have something to ask Xiaoxiao."

After Tang Asi left the hospital, he called Lu Yichuang.

It rang for a while before the other end picked up the phone.

Lu Yichuan asked: [What's wrong, Xiao Si? ]

[I just want to ask you, is everything going well on your business trip? ]

[I'm fine. My business trip went smoothly.]
