Good Night, Liang Xiao

Liang Xiao was not joking when he said he fainted, at least at this moment, Ye Ji'an felt a little ashamed because of his suspicion just now.

"Are you okay?" he asked, standing aside.

"I don't know." Liang Xiao's tone sank, his face was pale, almost staring at the nurse's hand holding a cotton swab in the window.The alcohol had been wiped off well, and the veins on the elbow fossa also showed a clear blue color under the restraint of the rubber tube. Ye Ji'an could tell that this guy was shaking slightly.

This is rather unusual.Even if the general manager comes to the department aggressively to scold people, Liang Xiao has never been so nervous. On the contrary, he would occasionally stand up and answer a few words, not sure that the general manager would not be speechless. Ye Ji'an once admired how much less unreasonable overtime work has been done.At this moment, as a "regular customer" of this hospital, even as an older brother and a new friend, he does not want to see this enthusiastic and arrogant guy so entangled in the usual way, scaring the nurses so much that they dare not Immediately tie it down.

"Why don't you try to stop staring at it and divert your attention to look elsewhere," Ye Ji'an said, "like me."

Liang Xiao immediately turned his face away as if grabbing the savior, "Is it okay?" His gaze had already been cast over before he could speak.

"Just don't laugh." Ye Ji'an looked at him peacefully. Out of the corner of his eye, he paid attention to the nurse who was pressing on the vein. He said to himself, hurry up, there are several tubes, and he said to himself, it might be better to chat, and then What's there to talk about?Work?Are you a devil yourself?

Liang Xiao seemed to have a lot to say, "By the way, senior," his face recovered a little, "I'm actually—"

The needle went in.

The conversation also stopped.

Because Liang Xiao had already turned his head away immediately.Breaking free also happened at this moment. It was not a big movement, but it was effective, and there was some blood. The little nurse was on the other side of the glass window, and was too scared to move while holding the "caused" needle, while the other party couldn't blink. Blinking stared at the scene of the accident.

"I'm sorry," Liang Xiao stood up after staring for two seconds. He tried his best to speak well, so the words were a bit too correct. "Conditional reflex, I always do this."

"Take it easy first," Ye Ji'an pressed alcohol cotton on his needle hole, then dragged him to an empty clinic bed, pressed his shoulders hard and sat down, "Are you dizzy?"

"It's okay." Liang Xiao raised his face, and the sleeves of the maroon jumper were rolled up high, and they were piled up on his arms in a mess, almost reaching his shoulders. This seemed inexplicably childish to Ye Ji'an.

"Senior, don't worry, I don't need to drink sugar water." The words were also childish.

Ye Ji'an smiled.He wasn't in a hurry at all, seeing that the blood draw line had grown slowly, he also felt that it was okay, at worst, he would wait in the back line later, anyway, he didn't have any thread-pressing work today, and he came here specially to talk to He had no reason to be in a hurry if he was alone just to exchange a "secret".Compared to going home early and sleeping in the dark, Ye Ji'an thinks this moment is more rare.

As for the fainting of needles itself, Ye Ji'an classified it as a physiological reaction, not linked to words like "courage", so there was no need to overcome it.Overcoming instincts is excruciatingly painful, and who hasn't felt a little strange fear?For example, he himself is afraid of cats, the kind of fear that makes his scalp tingle and his body get goose bumps when he sees it. This is the case now, and it was even worse when he was a child. He couldn't explain the reason, so he couldn't persuade his parents not to buy that kitten. At home, as a birthday present for my brother.

But he really hopes to be understood by someone. He has been waiting for the whole adolescence, waiting for someone to come and believe in himself.

Of course, living alone is free now, and there are not many wild cats in the community, so there is no need to recall it. "What were you trying to say just now? You really?" Ye Ji'an started the conversation.

Chatting really helped, Liang Xiao's face became more bloody, and his lips came out the fastest, and when they opened and closed, they looked extraordinarily red, "I'm actually RH-negative blood, that 'giant panda blood'."

Ye Ji'an froze for a moment, then rubbed his face again, "Coincidentally."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Senior, too?"

"Well," Ye Ji'an sat down beside him, "It's fine to call it 'Panda Blood' in Chinese. I'm still type AB. If something goes wrong someday, the National Blood Bank will adjust my blood bag."

"Ah? That's not necessary." Liang Xiao was confident.

"There is a live one next to you," he said again, fearing that his expression would be unclear, so he hastily added, "The fresh blood bank will be renewed."

Ye Ji'an was amused, such a small probability event could actually make him bump into it, "Are you also AB?"

"Yes! Senior and I should know each other." Liang Xiao looked very happy, the kind of joy that came out of nowhere. He even stood up and ran outside the door to line up. Ye Ji'an picked up his down jacket and hurriedly He hurriedly followed, only to see that this person was already full of fighting spirit, and he was determined to prove his professionalism as a "blood bank", so that he was not some half-baked person who dared not get a needle.

Ye Ji'an is of course encouraging, chatting about reports and holidays to relax from time to time, but what he thinks in his heart is that even if he is unlucky and something goes wrong one day, he will not let this child come over for a blood transfusion—indeed, he is actually serious Thinking about this kind of joke, but also clearly understand that it is a joke, he is someone who wants to die every day, and colleagues don't need to do this, even friends don't need it.Ye Ji'an thought he was a measured person.

Liang Xiao's fighting spirit continued until the blood collection window. Ye Ji arranged behind him, and he sat there again. This time, the window was replaced by a middle-aged woman who seemed to have a lot of experience.

"You're an adult, calm down and take it easy." She tied the rubber tube with great strength, and her white arms were pinched with red marks.

But Ye Ji'an motioned her not to move the needle, and patted Liang Xiao on the shoulder. He asked, "How about... I cover your eyes? Will this make you more nervous or more relaxed?"

"I want to give it a try." Liang Xiao took the initiative to close his eyes.

Just imagine the darkness in front of your eyes, and the sharp needles on your arms that you don't know when they will come off, how can you be at ease?Ye Ji'an felt more and more that he had done something stupid.But when Liang Xiao held it under his hands, it really stopped. Ye Ji'an's palms were itchy from his blinking eyelashes, he also felt his breathing was not easy, and his forehead was sweating, but apart from these , and nothing else happened, the needle went into the vein smoothly, and the tubes of dark red blood were taken out smoothly.

Liang Xiao didn't speak until he stood up, and his expression was a little indifferent and weird.

"Feels okay?" Ye Ji'an asked. Anyway, a big mountain has been crossed. It's his turn this time. The form is handed in, and the blue disinfection pad is also replaced. On the round stool.

"I want to watch senior prick." Liang Xiao stood aside.

"It's not a matter of every minute for me." Ye Ji'an was happy again. Indeed, he quickly drew four tubes of blood, and the rest of the items after that were also done neatly. Liang Xiao followed behind him obediently, squeezed here Walking through the crowded medical examination building, Ye Ji'an had no qualms about showing tattoos, but Liang Xiao would take the initiative to avoid them for some reason.Ye Ji'an came over to pick up a piece of the report sheet after an appointment, but the two of them didn't eat bread, and it was time for dinner after they came out of the hospital.

Walking on the sidewalk, Ye Ji'an suddenly remembered that just now, when he was drawing blood, the person beside him was staring at his arm, so focused that he was fascinated, and even looked gloomy.

Don't people who faint from needles like to watch other people get needles?He didn't understand.However, at this moment, Ye Ji'an looked sideways at this energetic colleague again. He saw the wind blowing the air clear, and fragments of sunlight jumped up on that young face, so he felt that the impression might be an illusion.

Liang Xiao even asked him like this: "Can I call Senior Brother?"

"Or brother can also," he said anxiously, "I bark once in a while, when I'm not working. Because I think it's very kind."

"Okay, come here as you get used to it," Ye Ji'an pocketed his face into the turtleneck of his sweater, "I have a younger brother in my family. Although I didn't want to call me before, I'm used to being a brother."

Liang Xiao looked suspicious, "You don't want to call?"

Ye Ji'an smiled, and led him up to the overpass without hesitation, then pointed to a cluster of red-brown tall buildings not far away, "That's where my house is, the third building."

Liang Xiao was very interested, and looked over carefully, "Is the lighting good? Which floor is it?"

"Nineteen, usually the sun is very good, and the view is also good."

"Oh, it's a long way to go to work."

"Get up early, the subway is very convenient," Ye Ji'an breathed on his hands, "the first train will not be queued outside the station."

Liang Xiao nodded seriously, and the two chatted casually along the way, and walked into the community leisurely.Walking to the entrance of his own house, Ye Ji'an had already planned what to make for lunch. Last night he bought vegetables, prepared to show off his cooking skills, and cook something for this picky little colleague, but Liang Xiao suddenly stood still, making a big deal out of it. Said: "Senior, what a disturbance today."

Ye Ji'an was stunned, "Huh?"

Liang Xiao took it for granted, "After sending senior home, I'm going home too, so I'll try the subway that senior said."

"Not going up? Have a meal before leaving?"

"No," Liang Xiao shook his head, "I'm not prepared today, it's not polite enough. I will find time to make a formal visit."

Ye Ji'an felt that his expression must be quite strange, he touched the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "...that's fine, bye, be careful on the road."

Liang Xiao nodded, walked away with a smile in his pocket, Ye Ji'an looked at his back, always felt light, even foolish.After not taking two steps, I saw him turn back with steps, "Rest early today, brother!"

After finishing speaking, he went back in circles in a daze.

Ye Ji'an returned home in this dazed state and cooked himself a bowl of dried noodles.Indeed, he was not in the mood to cook properly by himself.Young people these days have amazing brains, he thought again.

After the New Year’s Day holiday, the days after the New Year’s Day holiday are doubly devilish. Not long after, Ye Ji’an finally had time to go home late at night on the rest day after working overtime for [-] consecutive days. He dropped his leather bag and fell on the sofa without even taking off his shoes. One thing I thought about before was still: the dishes in the refrigerator were all wilted, why didn't I have time to finish them.

However, when he woke up, there was a series of doorbells in his ears, and there was a ringing. Ye Ji'an didn't remember what he bought online and delivered to his home.It was dawn, and he groped to open the door in a daze, with his hands resting on the door frame, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Liang Xiao's big energetic eyes.

I saw that both of his hands were full of paper bags, and there was a smiling expression from the brow to the corner of his lips.

"Official visit," he said, "Senior, we will be neighbors from now on."
