Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 37

the whole day.He didn't even see Xu Yanmu go home, she used imaginative thinking to guess all possible reasons and results.

Countless possibilities converged in her mind, making her sleepless and unable to eat.Walking around the house, round and round and round and round.

It's so late, where should I find him?She lay at the window and stared closely at Xu Yanmu's house.Looking forward to the next second, the lights in the room will be on, and his familiar figure will appear in the kitchen.

However, the lights in his house were not on all night.But the lights in Ziqiu's house were on all night.

The next day, when the sky was just slightly bright.Ziqiu went out tiredly with two dark circles under his eyes.She seemed to have been a few years old overnight. Her nervous eyes and hesitant heart seemed so lonely and unhindered in this strange city.

On a deserted morning, Ziqiu stood alone on the empty street, waiting for someone who could bring her hope to appear.Even knowing that he disappeared a little bit.

She asked around and finally found the place where he worked.

As soon as she walked through the gate, a young and handsome policeman appeared in her vision.

"Hello! Me. I'm looking for Xu Yanmu! Do you know where he is?"

"you are?"

"I am his friend."

"He was injured on a mission yesterday and is now hospitalized!"

"Injured! Is it serious?"

"Unfortunately, there was a collision during the chase, which caused injuries to the eyes and ribs!"

"Where is the hospital?"

"Go east at the crossroad ahead, go straight ahead, and you will see the gate of the hospital."

She even forgot to say thank you, and disappeared from the sight of policeman Li Hengyi.

Turn around, run like hell, run like hell. . . . . .She felt that the journey was so long.My legs were sore, my head was swollen, my mouth was dry, my breathing was short of breath, and tears were streaming down my cheeks.Her heart was tense, and she felt that she was disappearing in this long process little by little.All the sounds coming and going around me gradually disappeared in my ears.She collapsed slowly and was on the way to the hospital.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in the hospital.The nurse next to her is giving her an infusion.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You fainted on the road and were taken to the hospital by passers-by."

"How did I faint?"

"It's the first time you come to Tibet. The altitude sickness is normal. It's okay, just rest and rest."

"Excuse me, is there a patient named Xu Yanmu here?"

"You mean the policeman who was injured."

"Yes."

"In the ward on the third floor."

"I'll go and have a look." Ziqiu got up impatiently.

"An infusion is needed. Wait." The nurse followed behind with an infusion bottle.

"This is the room." She followed the nurse's pointer to look.

"Thank you!" She looked at Xu Yanmu lying on the hospital bed through the glass.

Thin and vicissitudes of the face, dark skin, red cheekbones.The eye area was covered with a thick layer of gauze.His legs were in plaster casts.He frowns slightly and remains motionless, as if he is sleeping.He must be in pain.It's so hard to even sleep.

She pulled out the infusion needle on her arm, gently opened the door, and knelt by the bed.Raising his hands, he held this thin big hand tightly, looked at it and touched it carefully, his nose was sore and his eyes were red.

Seeing this, the nurse quickly found a cotton swab and pressed the needle hole for her.

She buried her face in his palm, sobbing softly, the warmth from his palm was cold to her heart.

Xu Yanmu moved his fingers.He raised his head to see the person in front of him.However, the eyes can't see anything, just feel that there is a crying face in the palm of his hand.Who is the crying girl?He was puzzled.

"You are?" He wanted to take his palm away from her hand.

Ziqiu heard his familiar voice and slowly raised his head.Looking at his haggard face, she suddenly couldn't control herself, and threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.Let her release all the sadness of the past ten years.

Xu Yanmu was at a loss, facing the sudden crying girl in her arms, but he didn't push her away.

"Please be quiet, the patient needs to rest." Hearing the cry, the doctor rushed over, helped Ziqiu who was still crying, and let her sit on the stool.

"I'm sorry!" She sat on the stool and wiped her tear-stained face with her hands.She took Xu Yanmu's hand and held his big hand tightly in the palm of her hand.Holding it in the palm of my hand, afraid of losing it again.

"Who are you? Why are you crying?" He asked in a puzzled tone.

"It's okay." She adjusted her mood and tried her best to calm down.

"I don't seem to know you, do you know me?" he continued.

"You can't even see me, of course you don't know me. I know you, that's all. Besides, from now on, you will know me." She wiped her tears with her hands, trying to keep a relaxed tone.

Xu Yanmu didn't speak.He heard the voice a little familiar, and tried hard to remember it in his head.

"Okay, don't think about it, you can rest. I will take care of you from now on." She looked at his frowning and puzzled expression, turned around and went to her ward to get the backpack.

"Doctor, how is his condition? Is it serious?" Ziqiu asked nervously.

"You are him...?"

"I am his friend."

"The car accident caused both of his legs to be fractured. A spleen was slightly ruptured, three ribs were broken, and his face was hit and his eyes were injured. However, after surgery and rescue, he will recover after a period of time. But the future body You will be weaker, pay more attention to nutrition, and don't work too hard!"

"Well, thank you!"

"I heard that police officer Xu had a serious traffic accident three years ago. His fiancée stood in front of him to protect him and died of serious injuries." The conversations of several nurses reached her ears.

Ziqiu's chest was stuffy and tight, and his head was slightly dizzy.She couldn't help crying!How did he survive.

Outside the window, strange scenery, strange flow of people.She seemed to be abandoned on a deserted island.

During the days in the hospital, Ziqiu was busy inside and out, taking care of Xu Yanmu extremely carefully.

Only when the nurse was changing the gauze for Xu Yanmu did she sneak away for a while.She didn't want Xu Yanmu to recognize her at this moment.

Xu Yanmu has a strong curiosity about this girl who suddenly broke into his life.

"Why take care of me?" He always asked curiously.

"How can there be so many reasons?" Ziqiu said.

"Give me the key to your house." Ziqiu said, looking at Yanmu who was lying on the bed, trying to turn over.

"What?" He thought he had misheard.

"The key to your house." Ziqiu helped him sit up and whispered in his ear.

"What are you doing at my house?"

"Why do you care so much? Are you afraid that I will steal your things?"

"No, it's just that I don't know where the key went!"

"Go and get you some change of clothes. Then I'll find someone to open the lock." After Ziqiu finished speaking, she turned and left.

"The key, here you are. Do you know where it is? I mean my home." Looking at her back, Yanmu groped, opened the drawer next to her, and took out a key.

"I know." Ziqiu turned and ran back, took the key and smiled and left.

She went to the vegetable market, even though she couldn't speak the language, she was very cute with gestures and gestures.She recalled the dishes he liked to eat, fried shredded potatoes with green peppers and tomatoes, pork belly, fish with pickled cabbage. . . .This is his favorite dish, and it is also Ziqiu's best dish.But now he can only eat some light meals for his health. She only bought some lean meat and vegetables, and also bought an old hen stew.

She carried the vegetables and strode up to the fifth floor.Take the key out of your pocket, open the door and go in.

There was a musty smell.Ziqiu rubbed his nose, quickly put the dishes on the dining room table, and then ran to the balcony to open the window.The fresh and slightly chilly air is blowing, let the cold wind wash away the stale smell.

Two rooms and one living room, simple and simple.

The living room is very small, with a set of tables and chairs, and there is no TV.There are several small paintings of flowers and landscapes hanging on the wall.Ziqiu stepped forward to take a closer look, and touched it with his hands.Iwaki's paintings, familiar brushstrokes.

A bedroom with a double bed in gray sheets and a simple off-white wooden wardrobe.The only place with color is the photo hanging on the wall beside the bed.It was the wedding photo of Yanmu and Ruoran, her head was leaning tightly on his shoulder, and her hands were tightly wrapped around his arm.Those two youthful faces, with sweet and happy smiles, looked straight at Ziqiu.

Ziqiu closed his eyes, not daring to look directly, let alone go in.She leaned against the door, her thoughts confused.Chaos to fear, fear to tension, tension to doubt, doubt to lack of confidence, lack of confidence to be at a loss.Yes, Ziqiu thought.They seem to be telling her that we are very happy, whether it was, is, or even forever, we will always be happy until we die.

Ziqiu turned around and dragged her two weak legs. When she passed the study, she didn't have the courage to go in.Pick up the dishes on the table and lock the door.Or take it home.

She felt an indescribable pain in her heart.She felt like a thief, trying to steal the love that once belonged to Ruoran.It's strange as if you've done something wrong.No, not stealing.She thought, she really likes Yanmu, don't blame me, okay?I will take good care of him and accompany him.Along the way, she was looking for all kinds of reasons to convince herself.

When she got home, she took the dishes to the kitchen.Start stew, stir-fry.The whole house is filled with a strong fragrance, which makes it feel like a home, with the aroma of food, the breath of life, and the flowing colors.Poor Iwaki, she began to feel sorry for him again, what a life he led!

She put the food in an insulated box, wrapped it in a thick coat, and ran all the way to the hospital.

"Dinner is ready." She opened the lunch box.Several small boxes came out of it.There are shredded tomatoes, green peppers and potatoes, braised pork, old hen soup, and rice, all of which are placed on the small table on the hospital bed.

"Does it smell good?" She helped him up to sit up.

"Well, it's delicious. It's been a long time since I've smelled such a delicious smell. Let me guess, there are shredded tomatoes, green peppers and potatoes, braised pork, and chicken soup? Yanmu Xixiu showed a rare smile.

"No guess!" Ziqiu said with a smile.

"No way?" Iwako said suspiciously.

"There's still rice!" Ziqiu laughed.

"Ha ha..."

"Ha ha..."

"Come on! Open your mouth and drink some soup first." She took the fragrant chicken soup, blew on it, and fed him with a spoon.

"I'll drink it myself!" Iwaki fumbled with his hands.

"No!" Ziqiu put the spoon into his mouth.

"Thank you." Xu Yanmu opened his mouth and drank the soup.

"Green peppers and tomatoes fried shredded potatoes, try it." Ziqiu looked at him gently and said.

"My favorite dish!" Iwaki smiled and opened his mouth wide.

"Then eat more." Ziqiu watched him eat, feeling a sense of happiness spontaneously.
