Good Night, Liang Xiao

Maybe it was because the days before were too arbitrary, or maybe it was because the flu virus was flying in the street, and hit Ye Ji'an's forehead with a smack. One day in early March, he was dizzy early in the morning, and he was in a meeting again and again. It was to make suggestions to his subordinates to change the proposal. His voice was not idle all the time. After lying on the lunch break for 15 minutes, he turned off the alarm clock and got up.

After drinking four or five cups of fat sea licorice tea in the afternoon, the situation still didn't get better, and at the same time, the headache became more and more severe. Ye Ji'an opened his eyelids and stared at the computer screen, reminding himself to concentrate on work, but his brain couldn't turn like a millstone being pulled by someone. It seems that the efficiency is lower than usual by more than half.Fortunately, during dinner, Liang Xiao saw his strange behavior and resolutely called a car to go home, so Ye Ji'an didn't suffer another trip on the crowded and stuffy subway.

When I got home and took my temperature, it was still 39 degrees.

Liang Xiao stared at the mercury column by the light, as if he had a grudge against him.

"I'm so sleepy." Ye Ji'an said, but he didn't rush to go to bed desperately, squatting in the storage room to rummage through boxes.He really didn't want to go to the hospital to hang a bottle in the middle of the night, so he struggled to find out the anti-inflammatory medicine and cold granules. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw that the warm water had been poured, the glass was placed on the coffee table, and Liang Xiaolian was wearing a coat. Before he had time to take it off, he sat silently on the side, typing something quickly on his mobile phone.

"Don't go to work tomorrow, I'll ask Mother Hu to take care of you." Liang Xiao said.

Ye Ji'an swallowed a few aspirin with cold medicine, although he was so bitter that he felt sick, he still closed his eyes and drank the remaining half cup, "No, I'm more comfortable by myself, don't pay attention The image is right." He was afraid of contagion, and he didn't dare to get too close, so he didn't habitually lean on Liang Xiao, and lowered his head to edit the leave email.

He is ready to ask for a day.

"Then what do you eat? Or do you cook it yourself?" Liang Xiao frowned, "I have an account due tomorrow, and I will definitely have to work overtime."

"Yeah, there will be a lot of things going on tomorrow, and you have to go and work hard if I'm not here." Ye Ji'an rubbed his sore eye sockets, cheered up and said, "I don't have an appetite like this now, and I still feel like throwing up the porridge I drank at night." , just sleep for a day."

Liang Xiao was noncommittal.

Ye Ji'an said again: "Bring some medicine for me. I'll be done with it at home. Cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine are enough. It's too troublesome to go to the hospital. You can go to the side of our company. There is a pharmacy at the subway entrance across the road."

Liang Xiao nodded.

"Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow morning, so I don't need to ask for leave." As Ye Ji'an said, his heart skipped a beat. He thought it was possible.

"No." Liang Xiao stared at his lacklustre lips, "Unless the body temperature returns to normal tomorrow, and the sore throat will no longer be."

"Oh." Ye Ji'an blinked to express his surrender. Seeing that he had flipped through his phone again, he had no intention of going to bed for the time being, so he stood up slowly, went into the bathroom to take off his contact lenses, and buried himself in the wash.The high fever made people tremble with cold, especially when he took off his shirt in front of the bed. He put on a thick sweater, moved out of the bedroom, leaned against the entrance of the corridor and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Liang Xiao looked up from the phone screen, "Now," he looked at Ye Ji'an's legs, "put the quilt on, senior."

Ye Ji'an followed suit honestly, he felt that he was better at how to deal with a sudden severe cold than Liang Xiao.Isn't the most important thing is anti-inflammatory and sweating? He hasn't changed out of the winter duvet, and he curled up in it, but the warmth only floats on the surface of the skin, and it's hard to dispel the shivering in his body.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a sound outside the door, it seemed that Liang Xiao was busy with something, the bedroom door was pushed open again, the lights were not on, only the sound of the machine starting to work, Ye Ji'an vaguely realized that it was the humidifier and air conditioner, Just as he was about to sit up and take a look, another heavy layer was placed on top of the quilt, which was warm and warm. Ye Ji'an reached out and touched it, it was an electric blanket.

"Is it warmer?" Liang Xiao stood beside the bed, facing the dark light coming in from the corridor, a black shadow.

"Very good," Ye Ji'an was a little surprised and moved. He didn't expect Liang Xiao to toss with such things, dust off the electric blanket that had accumulated dust in the cabinet, just to turn the room into a heater. "There's still heating, that's enough."

"Are you sweating?" Liang Xiao asked again.

"Not yet." Ye Ji'an lowered his voice.He is already such an adult, he didn't take good care of himself and suddenly fell ill, not to mention delaying work, and still needs to be taken care of, he felt quite ashamed of himself.However, it wasn't really ashamed, but he suddenly remembered that he had lived in school since the first day of junior high school, so even when he was a child, he rarely received such care when he was sick.Therefore, facing the young lover who had to get up early to go to work the next day, he felt a little complicated, dependent, apologetic, and strangely relaxed.

Liang Xiao sighed, and lightly touched his forehead. Ye Ji'an smelled the mint flavor of toothpaste.Then Liang Xiao went out again, filled a thermos cup with warm water and put it on the bedside table, and quietly walked to the other side of the bed.Ye Ji'an thought that tonight he would hug the pillow and go to the second bedroom to sleep. After all, there is no such triple warmth in winter. Now that it is early spring, the temperature has risen to above zero, and no one will feel like being baked in the big oven of the whole house overnight. is comfortable.

Even Marx, who has been occupying the bedside table all year round, has moved his position.

However, Liang Xiao lay down as usual, got into the quilt, and stretched out his arms to hug him.

No clothes on the upper body.

"I'm warm too," he said. "Come closer to me, and the sweat will heal faster."

"Can you sleep like this?" Ye Ji'an grabbed the quilt, if it wasn't for this layer, the two of them would be almost face to face, "I'm also afraid of infecting you, so go sleep next door for the night."

Liang Xiao laughed, "I can't sleep without senior, so I can only drink medicine." He actually tore off the quilt to kiss Ye Ji'an, as if to prove that he was not afraid of infection.But Ye Ji'an was afraid, so he dodged in a panic, "Don't make trouble!" His voice was terribly hoarse.

"Then I don't want to kiss, just hug," Liang Xiao said softly, hugging him more and more firmly, the lines of his arms are so strong that they seem to fit into a sweater, and he rubbed his forehead with his cool eyelids, "senior , be obedient, sleep well."

Ye Ji'an's stiff muscles became soft in this embrace.

Gradually, his cold seemed to be dispelled.

I don't know when this awakening started, but it was quite peaceful, and there was no dream all night.In the haze of the next day, Ye Ji'an couldn't see anything clearly, and heard Liang Xiao buckle his belt, and then closed his eyes, as if a long time had passed, and what he heard again was the sound of the security door closing .

left already?Why does he feel that it is not yet dawn?

Ye Ji'an spent more than ten seconds trying to understand his question.

It took another two seconds to sit up, and turned to look at the window.

In order to avoid staying in bed and being late, they have always been used to just pulling the gauze curtain, so that a little light can come in, but now the outside is so dark that there is no light from the sky, and then they randomly took out their mobile phones to have a look, 4:03, AM .

He called Liang Xiao, who answered in seconds, "Why are you awake?"

"Did you set the wrong alarm clock?" Ye Ji settled down, "Check the time, the subway station is not open yet, hurry home."

"I'm driving," Liang Xiao said with a smile. There was a noise in the earpiece, probably because he held up the Bluetooth headset. "I really can't see anyone on the street!"

"...the company is in a hurry?"

"No, I want to finish my part earlier," Liang Xiao said generously, "then go home and cook for senior."

Ye Ji'an froze for a few seconds before he figured out the cause and effect. His eyes suddenly turned sour, and even he was caught off guard. "It's not like I can't move," he finally said, "I'll do it for you, come back early."

Liang Xiao demanded, "Then make one less dish."

Ye Ji'an pressed the bridge of his nose and smiled, "Okay."

"Lie down and sleep quickly." Liang Xiao said again.

"Lie down," Ye Ji'an broadcast live, "The quilt is up to your chin."

But he did not lie down all day.After putting down the phone, he fell asleep again in a daze. When it was nearly ten o'clock, Ye Ji'an woke up suddenly, feeling that something was wrong, and he couldn't spend the whole day under the covers. What's the difference?Besides, it's no fun to stay in bed alone.He took out his medical insurance card, wrapped himself in a thick down jacket and a thick scarf, and ran to the hospital opposite the community to get a bottle, and he also took his laptop with him.

Sitting on the bench in the infusion room, Ye Ji'an completed a part of the work that could be done outside the company, and sent it to the department's public mailbox, which also counted as a little remote support for the poor people who were paying the bills.

Of course, he mainly wants to support his enthusiastic young man who wakes up in the middle of the night.

The situation in the work group suddenly improved. It was still lifeless at first, but now everyone was howling and crying, saying that Director Ye was a living Bodhisattva and a representative of an advanced patient, and Ye Ji'an didn't want to see this, "Go to work." He replied .

No one in the group dared to speak up.

Liang Xiao, who was silent just now, sent a sentence: What are you doing?

Ye Ji'an: IV drip, until 02:30, so boring.

Liang Xiao: [sad]

Ye Ji'an looked at the drooping corners of the soybean man's mouth, and replied, "It's almost alright, remember to eat lunch."

Liang Xiao: Go to work.

Ye Ji'an leaned back in the chair, he didn't want to say anything to distract Liang Xiao, but he was a little unwilling to turn off WeChat now, so he started to look through the chat records between Liang Xiao and himself, until he reached More than two months ago, it was like a high school student who had just added a favorite person on WeChat before chatting a few words, squinting at the screen and giggling, locking the phone and holding it in his hand, feeling that he needed to read it slowly .

It was so late in the afternoon, Ye Ji'an bought some vegetables on the way home, fried a dish of beef and peas, and a dish of vinegared cabbage, put them in the refrigerator, stuffed them with rice, and then got back under the covers, closing his eyes before going to bed He glanced at his phone again, except for a few spam text messages and a few greetings from colleagues at the same level, there was also a new message from Xiao Li from the General Affairs Department:

director!I was shopping for the tea room at the Wal-Mart opposite on my lunch break today, and I met Liang Xiao~ He bought an old hen^^

Ye Ji'an:?

Xiao Li replied in seconds: Please teach me how to stew, put the old hen in the schoolbag, carry it back to the office and hide it in the refrigerator, so good.

In Ye Ji'an's eyes, Liang Xiao's expression of awkwardness and a little humility in learning appeared in front of Ye Ji'an's eyes, and Xiao Li's expression of overflowing maternal love also appeared, and he replied: Haha, he must be able to stew well.

Xiao Li: Let me ask too much, I want to stew it for you^^

Ye Ji'an waited for her words, and replied: Yes^^

Xiao Li:! ! !Don't worry, supervisor, I will keep it 100% confidential!Ahhh I'm going to scream!Ah ah ah must be happy!

Ye Ji'an: Thank you, but it's not necessary, we didn't intend to hide it.I have a headache, rest now.

"The other party is typing" lasted for a long time, Xiao Li probably typed and deleted, and finally replied: Mmmmm, the supervisor must recover soon, we miss you so much!

Ye Ji'an smiled unconsciously. He put away his phone and put on the blindfold. He thought that Xiao Li really had something to say. He didn't have any government affairs, but it was enough to do the logistics work of the general affairs department. The hard-working little girl has a good impression.It was dark when he woke up, and there was a faint light in the corridor outside the door. Ye Ji'an smelled the fragrance and walked towards the light.

The two dishes that have been fried in advance have been heated and placed on the table, with rice on the side.When Ye Ji'an came to the kitchen, there was chaos on the stove, the sound of the pot boiling, and Liang Xiao was adding salt to the casserole.

Ye Ji'an knew that the old hen with a lot of history was indeed his own, of course it was his own.Liang Xiao just stewed a pot of chicken soup for himself without saying a word.

"It smells so good." Ye Ji'an hugged him from behind and leaned on his shoulder.

Liang Xiao shook his body, and silently scooped up the soup to taste, gasping for breath from the heat, "It seems a bit bland." He said to himself, added half a teaspoon of salt, and poked open the chicken with chopsticks, it was white and tender, without bloodshot , "It's ready."

He was delighted and sincere, and Ye Ji'an was even more delighted. He brought a large white porcelain bowl to serve him. The whole old hen, two people and four chopsticks worked together to put it into the bowl. Pour the yellow and translucent soup.

Ye Ji'an picked up the dipping plate, "You're really good, I'm hungry again!"

Liang Xiao brought the big bowl to the dining table and said from a distance, "Then eat a chicken leg."

Compared with the sore throat and dizziness at dinner the night before, Ye Ji'an's spirits improved a lot, and the chicken soup with love was much more attractive than the eight-treasure porridge outside. Dip it in the sauce and eat the chicken leg as promised.When he put down the bones and was about to pick up some cabbage, Liang Xiao suddenly said: "Someone from the personnel department came this afternoon, and we are going to join a spring recruitment publicity group for the Eastern Meidong School District. This year, our department will go to two. Sure, you can apply yourself."

"You applied?" Ye Ji'an bit down the chopsticks and vinegared the cabbage.

"Well, you can go back to your alma mater. I know more about overseas students, so it will be easier to do it." Liang Xiao put down the spoon for digging peas, and said, "I also filled out the application form for you."

Ye Ji'an wiped the corner of his mouth, and suddenly his eyebrows and eyes frowned, "Okay."

Liang Xiao propped his chin, tilted his head and looked at him, also smiling, "I want to show you the roses in New York and the cherry blossoms in New Jersey."
