Chapter 23 Let's Get Married

In "Between the Snowfield and the Starry Sky", there is this sentence: "No matter how beautiful the dyed color is, it will fade after a long time. Only the natural color will never change."

In the world of black and white, only a touch of dazzling dark blue remains.He wanted to reach out to catch it, but he couldn't reach it no matter what.How much I wish there was a big net without gaps, which could take in all such bright things and keep them private for life without hesitation.That is the color he has identified in this life and will never change.

When Xu Mo woke up with a start, he saw darkness.He turned his head slightly, and through the moonlight pouring down from the window, he saw a needle inserted in the back of his hand, and the nutrient solution was continuously delivered to the blood vessels.The other hand that was not on the drip touched the cheek where the pain was still lingering. He looked at the ceiling silently. After a while, he pulled out the needle, got up and got out of bed.

It was quiet on the floor, he was like a walking corpse that had taken off his soul, until he reached the door of that person's ward, his hollow deep purple pupils became bright as if they were revived.He looked at himself looking slumped on the glass, and suddenly thought, Bai Qi was right, he couldn't face Ze Yan after waking up like this.

As if he had made up his mind, Xu Mo said to himself in his heart that he must eat well and never let himself collapse again.

—

The world outside is full of traffic, and the noise remains the same.

All kinds of pedestrians on the street came and went in a hurry. When they saw the man in white with dried blood on his body, they all avoided him in astonishment, whispering and pointing behind him.Xu Mo didn't care to listen to what they were talking about about himself, and the people around him were nothing in his eyes.

He walked numbly, and finally stopped at the door of an inconspicuous noodle shop.

"...Here, sir, what do you... want to have?"

The boss seemed a little intimidated by this guest.

Xu Mo looked at him with downcast eyes, but his gentle voice didn't show any ups and downs: "Do you have... Yangchun noodles?"

"...Eh, yes, yes...you sit and wait for a while, the guests, and you will come right away."

The boss nodded hastily, wiped his apron with his oily hands, turned and went into the kitchen.

There were a few scattered people sitting in the store, all of them just looked up at him, and then continued to eat from their bowls.

Xu Mo's eyes were distracted, and he didn't know where to look.

On that night in the memory, the back of that person busy in the kitchen was tall and warm, his slender honey-coloured fingers flexibly used all kinds of kitchen utensils, and after a while, the appetizing aroma filled the whole room.The steam from the bowl of Yangchun noodles with crispy sesame seeds and green scallions engulfed the man's fierce and stern eyebrows, but the charming and vast dark blue was gentle like water waves.

He still remembered that man looked at him who was devouring himself, and kissed him with thin, well-shaped lips, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Idiot, is it so delicious?" After finishing speaking, he picked up a tissue and carefully wiped off the oil stains left at the corners of his mouth.

The dream of embracing and getting along with each other that had been imagined countless times has really come true, but it is as short-lived as a flash in the pan.

The cruelty of reality made it too late for him to fight back. The man who had washed his hands and made soup for him was now lying on the hospital bed coldly, never waking up for a moment.

He ate the hot noodles brought by the boss, but he couldn't taste the taste, and the continuously steaming heat hurt his eyes.

Not him...not his smell...

—

Xu Mo returned to the hospital again, and it had been an unknown amount of time. When he walked to the corridor, he raised his eyes and saw Bai Qi and You Ran with anxious faces.

Bai Qi noticed that he had changed into a brand new coat, and his condition was not so worrying, but he still couldn't help scolding him: "Where have you been, and you don't answer the phone, why don't you just lie on the bed and get an IV?"

God knows how anxious he was when he came to the hospital from the police station and found that in the ward, except for the bedding that had not yet been folded and the needle that was still dripping, the fainted person was nowhere to be seen.It's not that he didn't see Xu Mo's abnormality, so he might do something stupid.

Xu Mo smiled slightly, and he seemed to be more refreshed. He looked at the two people who were worried about him with gentle eyes, and said softly, "Sorry, I went to eat just now, so I bothered you."

Leisurely pursed her lips, with a look of guilt still on her face: "Professor... I'm sorry."

Xu Mo looked at her tenderly with lowered eyes, and touched her little head: "Don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you."

All of this is his own sin.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, he walked into the man's ward as if nothing had happened, and gently closed the door.

The person on the bed was still asleep, and Xu Mo's deep purple eyes were stained with deep affection.

He took out an exquisite small square box from his coat, inside which lay a pair of simple and elegant platinum men's rings, one with a small pudding pattern engraved inside, and the other with a butterfly pattern of the same size engraved inside.

He took the man's hand, put the ring engraved with the pudding pattern on the man's ring finger, put it on his lips and kissed it delicately.

"Honey, let's get married."

The man breathed quietly and did not respond.

Xu Mo held his hand, lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, "When you wake up, can you put it on for me?" He looked at the man's sharp eyebrows, and continued, "This pair of rings belonged to me very early. Just ask someone to do it well, secretly hiding it from you and not wanting you to know."

He got up, like a very devout believer, and slowly pressed a light kiss on the forehead of the man who was still wrapped in bandages.

In the dark night, the ring on the man's hand emitted a faint blue light, but it illuminated his entire heart.

"You preempted a sentence, now it's my turn." Xu Mo kissed the back of the man's hand and said, "...I love you."

Where he couldn't see, a gleam of light slipped from the corner of the eye of the person lying on the bed, and sneaked into the pure white pillow.
