Tentative

In a trance, Qu Zhe let Shen Yizhuo put on his coat and shoes for him, and then put his arms around his waist and tried to get him up.But he really didn't have the strength, he could barely stand up, let alone move around.Shen Yizhuo helplessly put him back on the sofa, and squatted down with his back facing him: "Can you come up?"

"No need..." Qu Zhe said, rubbing his temples on his knees, trying to wake himself up.But Shen Yizhuo was already impatient, so he passed his backhand through the hollow of his knee and lifted him up.Feeling weightless, Qu Zhe subconsciously put his arms around his neck.

Shen Yizhuo just went out with his back.The car has not been allowed to come over for the past two days, and the hospital is across two streets downstairs. Qu Zhe leaned on his shoulder and gasped for breath, the heat of his breathing was astonishing.Shen Yizhuo was very quiet along the way, panting very little, as if he didn't feel tired carrying Qu Zhe on his back.

But it is true, Shen Yizhuo exercises regularly, he is not considered strong, but he does not feel thin either.But Qu Zhe was different. Even though he had been taken good care of for a while when he lived in Guan Tian's place, his foundation was not good, he was still thin and his frame was small, so it didn't seem out of place to lie behind him.

Qu Zhe's lips were right next to his ear, even though the street was full of traffic, he could clearly hear Qu Zhe's breathing.

"It's almost here." Suddenly, Shen Yizhuo said as if soothing.

The person on the back hugged her tightly, and said vaguely, "...I'm fine."

Soon after arriving at the hospital, Shen Yizhuo put him down, helped him to sit on an empty seat beside him, and then went to the window beside him to register and pay the fee.

Qu Zhe didn't know, and Shen Yizhuo couldn't tell—this was the first time he had accompanied someone to the hospital.Fortunately, there are signs everywhere, and the writing is very clear. You only need to look a little to know what to do.

He took Qu Zhe to give a fever-reducing injection, and went to the nearby infusion room to get water.He didn't speak the whole time, his mind was groggy and he just wanted to sleep, so Shen Yizhuo sat next to him and didn't speak, just kept hanging his head and playing with his mobile phone.More than half an hour after the infusion, the antipyretic needle probably worked, and Qu Zhe gradually became clearer.Someone was talking in a low voice in the infusion room, and the TV news was on. Qu Zhe just turned his head to look at Shen Yizhuo's side face, without making a sound.

To be honest, he still enjoys this kind of time, he can look at Shen Yizhuo quietly, just like before.

He could see that Shen Yizhuo suddenly put away his phone, stood up and walked out without a word. "Shen Yizhuo..." He yelled, but his throat was uncomfortably dry, and his voice was small and unpleasant.

After a while, Shen Yizhuo came back with a glass of water and a thermometer in his hand.

"Measure it." He said, stuffing the thermometer into Qu Zhe's hand.After Qu Zhe did so, he handed over the water again: "Drink some water."

"thanks……"

Shen Yizhuo didn't talk, and sat back to look at his phone again.

Just 10 minutes later, Shen Yizhuo spoke again and asked him to take out the thermometer.He stared at the thermometer and said, "9 degrees, still a little fever."

"I'm fine..." Qu Zhe said, "It's not uncomfortable anymore."

"Then go home after the infusion."

"it is good."

"Sleep if you want to sleep, don't stare at me anymore." Shen Yizhuo said again.Qu Zhe withdrew his gaze with a guilty conscience, most of the illness was cured, but he didn't know if Shen Yizhuo was still angry: "You...are you still angry?"

"I am not angry."

"...I was wrong..." "Okay, don't talk for a while."

He had to keep his mouth shut.

After the infusion was finished soon, Shen Yizhuo led him back. It was different from when he came. He walked in front, and Qu Zhe followed. He didn't walk fast. The original 10-minute journey took about 10 minutes.The closed bedroom door finally opened, and after entering the room, Shen Yizhuo pulled him to the bed and lay down, carefully tucked the quilt for him: "I still have something to do, you go to sleep."

When Qu Zhe woke up, the lights in the bedroom were not turned on, and the sky outside the window was already dark.The fever is gone, and the fatigue on the body has almost faded away, but the stomach is very hungry.He went to the hospital in the morning, and fell asleep when he came back. He slept until dark, and there was no problem if he was not hungry.

He got out of bed with bare feet and opened the bedroom door. There was light outside, and he saw Shen Yizhuo in the kitchen at a glance, not knowing what he was doing.It was still raining outside, and only the sound of rain could be heard inside the house.Qu Zhe walked over quietly, Shen Yizhuo seemed to be cooking, his footsteps were covered by the sound of rain outside, he didn't notice Qu Zhe approaching at all.

Qu Zhe looked at the stove on tiptoe, porridge was cooking in the pot, Shen Yizhuo stroked his sleeves, held a spoon in his hand, and carefully stirred the slightly bubbling porridge.It seemed that when Shen Yizhuo was sick, he also cooked porridge like this, but now the situation is reversed.

Just as he was thinking about what Shen Yizhuo was going to take, he turned around suddenly.He didn't realize that Qu Zhe was behind him at all, and when he turned his head, he saw Qu Zhe's face, which made him take two steps back in fright, and bumped his back against the stove: "Why did you come out?"

"...I woke up, so I came out to take a look." He rarely saw Shen Yizhuo in such a panic, although it was only for a short moment, "Are you cooking porridge?"

"Then what do you think could be in there?"

Just as Qu Zhe was about to reply, his stomach suddenly gurgled.His cheeks turned red all of a sudden, Shen Yizhuo shook his head and turned back to continue stirring the porridge, and said softly, "It will be fine soon."

His soft voice and rare tenderness made it hard for Qu Zhe to hold back.He didn't think too much, and with some tentativeness, he approached slowly until his chest touched Shen Yizhuo's back, and he slowly raised his arms to wrap his arms around Shen Yizhuo's strong waist.Shen Yizhuo did not refuse, which was almost a kind of indulgence for Qu Zhe.He was still stirring the porridge unhurriedly, feeling Qu Zhe's head resting on his back.

The white porridge was steaming, with small bubbles constantly bubbling.In the whole kitchen, there was only the sound of porridge being cooked on the stove, and none of them spoke, as if they had a special tacit understanding, and no one wanted to disturb the peace of this moment.

The hand on the waist just caressed gently, not even daring to use force, Shen Yizhuo could feel the caution coming from that hand.

After a long time, Shen Yizhuo turned off the stove, Qu Zhe hurriedly wanted to let go, but Shen Yizhuo held his hand down.

"Hug if you want." Qu Zhe heard the person in front of him say, "It's still the same as before, you don't have to be so cautious."

"……it is good."

He hugged Shen Yizhuo, and Shen Yizhuo picked up the small pot, poured the porridge into the bowl next to him, added something to it, stirred it carefully with a spoon, and said: "Go and eat."

When they sat at the dining table, Shen Yizhuo only cooked a bowl and put it in front of Qu Zhe, but he picked up the book on the shelf and read it while smoking.

Qu Zhe took a sip, and it was still hot, but it was not white porridge, it seemed that there was some minced meat in it, boiled together with the steamed rice until it was soft and sticky, and it melted in his mouth.He never knew that Shen Yizhuo could cook and cook so deliciously.

"I called your store manager and asked for leave for you, saying that I will pass tomorrow."

"Ah? Oh..." If Shen Yizhuo hadn't mentioned it, Qu Zhe would have almost forgotten about it.

"Call me when it rains in the future." He said lightly, "I will drive to pick you up."

"...Is that car yours?"

"No, but if you want to use it, you can ask someone to drive over."

Probably Qu Zhe will never be able to understand the environment in which Shen Yizhuo lives. Even for valuables such as cars, they can be borrowed whenever they want, and even a special person will drive them over.His every move, every thing he uses, shows full grace, which is something that Qu Zhe couldn't match in the past, and now he dare not expect extravagantly.

Because of his low self-esteem, Qu Zhe lowered his head and drank the porridge seriously, without speaking again.

But Shen Yizhuo was very keen, and asked as if he sensed that his mood was wrong: "What are you thinking?"

"nothing……"

Shen Yizhuo put down the book, and flicked off the burnt ash: "Don't think about it."

"Ah."

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"Nothing."

When Qu Zhe drank his porridge with his head down, his face looked smaller, his brows and eyes were covered by shadows, which was not real at all.Shen Yizhuo looked at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand impulsively, tracing his index finger all the way down the bridge of his nose.Qu Zhe was stunned, not knowing how to react.He continued, sliding over his lips, wiped off a little porridge on his lips, then put it into his mouth, and tasted it.

"The taste is ok."

Qu Zhe looked at him, his face flushed red.

Shen Yizhuo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I've done everything, why do I still blush so easily."

"........."

"Okay, eat quickly." Shen Yizhuo said, "Come out with me to watch a movie after eating."

"See a movie?"

"Well, there's a new movie that I want to watch. Do you want to go... If you don't feel well, I won't go." Shen Yizhuo looked at him and didn't answer, and then said, "I can find someone else to go."

"...Is it a girlfriend?"

Shen Yizhuo looked at him with no intention in his dark eyes.Seeing that Qu Zhe was getting nervous again, he thought he had said something wrong, so he quickly lowered his head and dared not look at him again.Only then did Shen Yizhuo say: "I don't have a girlfriend."

"what?"

"To be precise, I don't have a love partner."

When Qu Zhe heard this, he was happy for a second and then lost.Shen Yizhuo has no girlfriend, which is indeed worth celebrating, but he is not an important person to Shen Yizhuo.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yizhuo was a little annoyed: "Do you talk like this when you talk to others outside? So cautious? So careful?"

"what……?"

"I'm just curious, how do you work like this."

Qu Zhe thought for a while and said, "I'm just in front of you...I don't want to make you unhappy."

"I look bad-tempered?"

"No, you are very gentle..." Qu Zhe said.

During the speech, the white porridge had bottomed out.Qu Zhe obediently put the bowl into the sink, and cleaned the pot and bowl.After he finished all this, Shen Yizhuo had already changed his clothes and was fiddling with his hair in front of the full-length mirror.Seeing Qu Zhe staring at him again, Shen Yizhuo said, "Go change your clothes and go watch a movie."

"it is good."

But Qu Zhe didn't have any good clothes at all. The new clothes Jiang Yuzhao and Guan Tian picked out for him were out of season, so he could only put on his old coat and stood obediently in front of Shen Yizhuo.

Shen Yizhuo immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This dress...can't be from high school."

"……Seems to be."

"Wait."

After Shen Yizhuo finished speaking, he turned and went into the bedroom, found a coat and came out.The clothes are very new, and they look pretty, as if they haven't been bought for a long time.He handed it to Qu Zhe: "Wear this."

"...Your clothes may not suit me."

"This one is too small, I'm too lazy to change it, you can wear it." Shen Yizhuo said, glanced at Qu Zhe's bag in the corner, then walked over and poured out all the contents.

"do not……"

"What are these?" Shen Yizhuo made no secret of his disgust. He looked at the old faded and torn clothes, and finally picked them up and threw them into the trash can, "No more."

"..."

"Let's go, the movie at nine o'clock." He looked at the time, it was only 07:30, "Hurry up, go buy a new one."

"No... Really no need, I can just wear old clothes."

"But you don't have any old clothes now, I threw them away."
