his cat [Rebirth]

The two ate something briefly, then Chongshan fetched water, imitated Mother Xing, wringed out the towels, and closed the curtain to block the sight of other patients.Chongshan said to Xing Yingtai: "Take off your clothes, I'll wipe them for you."

There is a place to take a bath in the ward, but Xing Yingtai is infused with fluids, which is inconvenient, so he can only wipe it casually.

Xing Yingtai thought for a while, unbuttoned her clothes on her chest, and said, "I'll do it myself."

"How do you wipe with one hand?"

Xing Yingtai said: "It can always be wiped."

Chongshan intentionally made him angry: "It's not that I didn't wipe you off."

Xing Yingtai's face was sullen, and she stopped talking.

Chongshan has known his temper for a long time, and also knew that what he said would make him unhappy, and reminded him of some past events.

But he didn't shy away from mentioning what had happened. Xing Yingtai wanted to pretend he didn't know, but he wanted to say it, even if he regretted it in his heart.

Instead of hiding mutual jealousy, it is better to face the bleak life... Chongshan is such a person.

He sat in front of Xing Yingtai and raised his hand to help him unbutton his clothes. Xing Yingtai turned to avoid it and took off his clothes.

Then he turned around and asked Chong Shan to wipe his back.The young man's back is muscular, straight and distinct, with his back facing Chongshan, the lines are particularly beautiful.

Chongshan took a few glances, narrowed his eyes and smiled, humming a little tune, and stuck the steaming towel on Xing Yingtai's back.His hands turned red from touching hot water, after a while, Chongshan put down the towel, and put his palms on Xing Yingtai's back.

After a pause, Chongshan said, "Yingtai. You, after all these years, do you miss me?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xing Yingtai to answer, as if afraid of him answering, Chongshan quickly said: "I miss you so much."

Xing Yingtai was silent.

Chongshan repeated a little aggrieved, reminding him: "I miss you so much."

"..."

Chongshan was already in his forties when he passed away, 20 years older than Xing Yingtai. At that time, he liked to cling to Xing Yingtai and say witty words, and he was not shy at all.With a young face at this time, of course he spoke more fluently.

He even wanted to rub his face against the back of Xing Yingtai's hand, so he couldn't help it, Chongshan sighed inwardly, feeling that habit is really a terrible thing.

Xing Yingtai took the clean towel from Chongshan, turned her back to Chongshan, and wiped her neck and chest.

Because it was winter, even though the house was warm, the hairs on his arms stood up.

Seeing this, Chongshan took a piece of clothing and put it on Xing Yingtai.After putting it on, Xing Yingtai asked, "Where do you live tonight?"

Chongshan said: "Of course I am with you."

Xing Yingtai sighed, intending to let Chongshan leave her alone, but she didn't know how to speak.

Chongshan saw what he meant, thought for a while, and said: "You didn't take my inheritance, and I didn't take it, and now I don't have a penny in my hand, why, do you want to drive me out and sleep on the road?" ?”

"...Liar."

"How come?" Chong Shan opened his eyes wide and said, "If I didn't have to swipe your card, would I let you live in this kind of three-person ward, just kidding!"

Before going to bed, Xing Yingtai called Chen Banxiao and asked him why he didn't come over last night.Chen Banxiao said weakly: "I told you last night, why didn't you say a word? I said I fell down and couldn't see your fortune, let you handle it yourself."

Xing Yingtai didn't expect that Chen Banxiao didn't come over for this reason, he asked, "How was the fall?"

Chen Banxiao said angrily: "Almost killed me, broke three ribs, hurt me so much... ah... ouch..."

With this excitement, he panted a little faster, and couldn't help but started moaning on the phone.Xing Yingtai has a very patient personality, and she won't cry out in pain even when she is seriously ill. Hearing Chen Banxiao's behavior, she couldn't help being taken aback.

Chen Banxiao had a rib injury and had to stay in the hospital for a week. When Xing Yingtai was discharged from the hospital, he would not be able to get out.

Hearing his pitiful cry, Xing Yingtai had no choice but to comfort her, saying that if she had time, she could visit him.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Banxiao became more and more angry as he thought about it. The pain in his ribs made him very irritable, and he began to curse.

Qiu Qiqing sat beside him, peeling the citrus expressionlessly, and said, "It's not the first time I fell, so what's the matter?"

"I'm in pain!"

"..." Qiu Qiqing looked at him and asked, "Didn't it hurt when you were blocked by Xun Xin? I haven't seen you lose your temper like this before."

Arm pain and rib pain are of course different, Chen Banxiao hummed: "I would be so angry if I broke three arms last time, but I don't have three hands either."

Qiu Qiqing said: "Are you angry because of the pain, or because it is not Xun Xin who is with you now?"

Chen Banxiao was startled, and looked up at Qiu Qiqing's face.

I saw Qiu Qiqing lowered her head with a calm expression.

Chen Banxiao smiled and said, "It's so sour, who is jealous."

Qiu Qiqing denied it and said, "No, I just..."

He paused for a few seconds, but didn't say anything.Qiu Qiqing handed Chen Banxiao a few petals of oranges, and said nothing.

Chen Banxiao put away his smiling face and sighed while eating the orange.

He said, "Ah Qing, you and I..."

Qiu Qiqing remained motionless, but did not look at Chen Banxiao.

But the tense back of his neck showed his nervousness at the moment.Chen Banxiao raised the corners of his mouth, and while talking, he quietly touched a red thread in his pocket, he said: "It's really hard to say between you and me. I always thought I liked women, and you also know that I chased Xun Xin in high school, I also met you because I couldn't catch her—huh? Ah Qing, I haven't finished talking yet, why are you leaving?"

Qiu Qiqing didn't turn her head back: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette, I'll be back later."

Chen Banxiao was puzzled, and took back the red thread, thinking why didn't he listen to himself?Could it be...

Chen Banxiao's heart was pounding. Could it be that he was embarrassed to know that he was going to talk about dating him?

Thinking of this, Chen Banxiao looked up to the sky and laughed, but before he raised his head, he bent down in pain, and couldn't help cursing a few more words, thinking, it's really... very unlucky recently.

Xing Yingtai was so ill that night that he was dying, scaring Chongshan enough.However, young people are in good health after all.Two days later, when Xing Yingtai was about to be discharged from the hospital, the three members of the Xing family ran over to pick him up in person.

Xing Yingtai didn't know it beforehand, and waited for her parents to open the door of the ward, then hurriedly tore apart the quilt and covered Chongshan who was hiding on the bed.

Mother Xing didn't notice anything wrong for a while, she took the bag from Xing Yingtai's hand and said, "Let's go."

Xing Yingtai didn't want her mother to help her carry her luggage, and was about to grab it when her father said, "Boss, why don't you fold the quilt? Don't trouble the doctor."

After saying that, she went to pinch the quilt on Xing Yingtai's bed.

Xing Yingtai was startled, ignored his luggage, and went to grab his father's quilt instead, paused, and said in a deep voice, "I'll do it myself."

Father Xing said, "It doesn't take much trouble to fold a quilt."

"No, Dad, you go down first, I'll be downstairs in a while."

Xing Chunlin said: "How can I do that, of course I have to wait for you, brother."

Xing Yingtai opened her mouth, a drop of sweat appeared on her forehead.At this moment, Father Xing had lifted off the heavy quilt on the hospital bed, revealing what was wrapped inside.

I only heard the mother's 'Oh'.Xing Yingtai opened his eyes wide and his heart beat faster. He had no choice but to turn his back, wondering if his parents would be frightened.

But the imagined landslide and ground crack did not happen. After Xing's mother called out, she complained a bit: "Boss, why did you bring it here?"

The voice is very calm.

Xing Yingtai was startled and turned around.

Seeing this, Xing Yingtai frowned immediately, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his face, this feeling was similar to when the lawyer informed him that Chongshan had passed away.

It turned out that Mama Xing didn't see Chongshan under the quilt, but a tabby cat with only a thin layer of fluff growing on its body.

That cat's eyes are yellow and clear, its pupils are as thin as black needles, its head is small and its body is fat.It turned its head away, and looked timid, as if it was a little afraid of seeing Xing Yingtai.

Mother Xing reached out to pick it up, put it in Xing Yingtai's arms, and said in a low voice, "Go home quickly, don't let anyone see you."

Xing Yingtai's arms were stiff, hugging the fat cat he was familiar with, he had nothing to say for a while, and could only stare blankly into Zhaocai's eyes.

Zhaocai, or Chongshan, yelled, and suddenly put his head into Xing Yingtai's arms, his tail tightly wrapped around his arm, as if he would not let go.

Waiting for his parents to send him home, Xing Yingtai didn't react.After seeing off the family, Xing Yingtai sat on the sofa, crossed his hands, and stared at the cat squatting on the floor with its head down.

There was a moment of silence in the room.Xing Yingtai was thinking while waiting for Chongshan to explain himself.He was a little thankful that he would no longer share the rent with Chen Banxiao after the Spring Festival, otherwise he would definitely not have the right space to face it.

Zhaocai keeps his head down and doesn't bark, his tail that always wriggles tightly against his side, making him look extraordinarily well-behaved.

Xing Yingtai saw a few unhealed bloodstains on its neck when it lowered its head, paused, and said, "Chongshan..."

The cat groaned and slowly raised its head.

Xing Yingtai nodded and said, "You are really amazing."

The cat stood up quickly, taking small steps to rub against Xing Yingtai's feet.Xing Yingtai used her hand to block it when it approached, but it didn't block it.Zhaocai crawled on top of Xing Yingtai as desperately as possible, his breathing was short of breath and he screamed loudly.

Xing Yingtai wanted to grab its neck, but thought of something, but didn't do it.He grabbed Zhaocai's front legs and dragged it out the door.

Zhaocai started to roar, making a miserable cry, but he didn't struggle hard, as if he was afraid of hurting Xing Yingtai with his claws.

The young man was extremely powerful, and Zhao Cai was dragged to the door like a dead dog.Seeing that he was about to be forced to go out, Zhao Cai had no choice but to grab the floor with his hind paws.

Xing Yingtai couldn't drag it, so he looked down and saw the cat was frowning. When it saw Xing Yingtai looking over, it started howling like ghosts and wolves.

Xing Yingtai let go of her hand and said coldly, "Why didn't you come back?"

It's a fool to change back.

Feeling that the front paws were loosened, Zhao Cai jumped up from the ground and burrowed into the crack behind the sofa with lightning speed.

Think about how Zhao Cai's body is still young, and he can hide in the cracks of the sofa.But now it's a fat cat weighing almost [-] pounds. After rushing over, its shoulders got stuck, and it couldn't get in even if it was squeezed hard, so it sat in front of the seam and shouted anxiously.

"..."

Xing Yingtai said, "Stop pretending."
