long life

After hanging up the phone with Yu Zhenglin, Yu Xiu sat by the bed for a long time, and when he felt hungry, he would hastily fill his hunger with a slice of bread.

After eating and sitting down, it happened that Han Ningshuo sent a message asking him if he wanted to play games. The few people in the dormitory usually cooperated very well, and there were more wins than losses in the total number of rounds.

It went on like this until the sky was dark, but it was not the darkness of night, Yu Xiu looked at the time on the phone, and it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

He paused the game in his hand, stared out the window for a while, and occasionally saw lightning flashing past in the clouds, and there were a few muffled thunders from time to time, and the air was so dull that it made people feel a little depressing.

It seems that there will be a storm coming soon, even if Zhou Jing was reminded to go out with an umbrella in the morning, Yu Xiu was still a little worried.

"Brother Xiu! Come on, King Lanling! If you don't move the tower, you will be pushed!"

Han Ningshuo shouted at the top of his voice in the voice chat group, and Yu Xiu finally came back to his senses, and successfully finished the game with a few people.

"What are you thinking about, Brother Xiu? You're so absent-minded." Cheng Da yawned several times in a row, sounding like he didn't sleep well.

Yu Xiu picked up his mobile phone and walked to the window, looking at the passers-by hurrying on the ground in the distance, "It's going to rain soon."

"Yeah, it's going to rain." Han Ningshuo heard the sound of opening the window, "Wouldn't it be more pleasant to play games in the rain, let the storm be more violent!"

"Ding Dingshuo, do you still want to play? I should have dinner later." It was another boy in their dormitory who was talking. Although he studied the same major, he was a year older than Yu Xiu and the others.

"Of course we have to play, what time is it?" Han Ningshuo raised his arms and shouted, "Come on, come on, hurry up, Cheng Da, you change your support this time, and I, Zhang Liang, will go in the middle later, and hit Huanglong directly!"

"That's it." Cheng Da responded in the voice group, but Yu Xiu didn't see any movement for a long time, "Brother Xiu, come and play together."

"Hey~ Cheng Da, what are you doing?" Han Ningshuo and the boy in the voice group pretended to retch.

"Let's play first." Yu Xiu smiled, but was inexplicably upset, "I'll make a phone call."

"Ah?" Han Ningshuo reacted for a few seconds, then hurriedly said, "That's fine, let's fight a few more times, Brother Xiu, go get busy."

"Ah."

After exiting the voice chat group, the whole room fell into silence again.

Yu Xiu quickly opened the contact interface of the mobile phone, he thought, the meeting should be over at this point, and calling Zhou Jing at this time should not disturb him.

His finger hovered over the key for a moment, the thunder outside the window continued, and the strong wind blew up, which made his original worry even more anxious. The first time he dialed Zhou Jing's phone, he unexpectedly failed to get through.

Yu Xiu cut off the phone and stood quietly in front of the window for a while.

I don't know when it started to rain. First, there were a few water stains on the glass, and then the rain gradually became louder, gradually covering up the honking of the car and all the noise.

The torrential rain swept across the city in front of me, and thunder surged, covering the windows in front of me in a moment, blurring out overlapping light and shadow.

When Zhou Jing's number was dialed for the fifth time, the notification tone on the mobile phone was still the mechanical female voice, "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please wait..."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiu walked around the room twice impatiently, as if he could no longer be depressed, he took off his coat from the hanger, picked up an umbrella and hurried out the door.

Going down to the first floor, the moment the elevator door opened, there was a damp and cold water vapor rushing straight to the face, and the sound of rain was more clear than that upstairs, knocking on the eardrums, and the strong wind was mixed with heavy rain, even with an umbrella. to no avail.

Yu Xiu held an umbrella and waited and watched at the door of the apartment building. The distance was covered by the rain curtain and it was difficult to see the situation clearly.

The few calls he made were as unanswered as the previous ones. After waiting for a while, he simply moved slowly in the direction of Zhou Jing's company despite the wind and rain.

But before he walked a few steps away, he saw a black figure staggering towards the apartment building not far away, and Yu Xiu rushed to meet him, almost bumping into that person.

"Sorry..." The man hastily apologized and was about to run away immediately.

Yu Xiu grabbed his arm and pulled it hard, bringing the whole person under his umbrella, "Brother."

Zhou Jing leaned on Yu Xiu and barely stabilized his figure. The heavy rain drenched him from head to toe, and his head was dizzy and aching.

"Yu Xiu, why did you come out?" Zhou Jing looked at the person in front of him clearly, wiped the rainwater off his face indiscriminately, and his eyes were red with bloodshot eyes.

"I've been calling you and no one has answered." Yu Xiu seemed to sigh. Seeing Zhou Jing's appearance, he felt distressed and blamed himself. If he had gone out earlier, he might have avoided letting him soak in the rain for so long .

"Phone?" Zhou Jing remembered the mobile phone in his pocket just now, and he took a look, and there were indeed nearly ten missed calls displayed on the screen.

"It's a meeting... so the phone is muted."

Yu Xiu tilted the umbrella towards him. At this time, he didn't care about making a few calls, whether the phone was on silent or not, he just knew that the person came back, so that all the restlessness and impetuous emotions would disappear without a trace. no trace.

The two walked towards the apartment building as soon as possible, and Yu Xiu frowned unbearably when he saw him shrinking into a ball and trembling, "Brother, didn't you take the umbrella I gave you?"

"On the way back from the meeting, I just remembered that I left the umbrella in the hotel." Zhou Jing trembled a few times, her voice sounded a little hoarse, "I don't think it's any valuables, I'm afraid it will delay the return of other colleagues, so I didn't Go back and get it."

Yu Xiu was silent for a while, and could only speed up his pace and lead him back to the room.

Thunderstorms in winter are rare, Zhou Jing didn't have a single piece of clothing spared from inside to outside, Yu Xiu urged him to take a hot shower, and he went to the kitchen to cook some sugar water with ginger to warm him up.

When Zhou Jing came out of the shower, his hair had already been dried in the bathroom. He seemed to be a little sick, and he didn't look very energetic.

"Brother, what do you want to eat tonight?" Yu Xiu handed him a clean nightgown, his eyes lingering on his face for a while.

Zhou Jing shook his head lightly, and his answer was a little weak, "I don't really want to eat."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Yu Xiu suddenly approached, and put his palm on his forehead to test the temperature.

"A little sleepy...and a little cold." Zhou Jing replied truthfully, he just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep, and he didn't care about other things.

Yu Xiu's act of caring for him at this moment, he does not resist, but relies on it.

"It's a bit of a fever." Yu Xiu frowned slightly, and his eyes were as attractive as light beams in the dark night.

Zhou Jing was slightly taken aback, as if seeing this strange emotion on his face for the first time, his mind went blank for a while.

"The company is only 10 minutes away from the apartment building." Yu Xiu lowered his voice, looked at him and asked softly, "Why didn't you call and ask me to pick you up?"
