love like drunk

It rained almost all night.

Du Yunyan felt cold in his sleep, shivering unceasingly, his throat seemed to be on fire again, and smoke was about to come out. He tried to swallow saliva, but his throat hurt.

The fire is rising, and the brain begins to swell. Why does the body feel like it is being burned, but still cold?He subconsciously grasped the quilt on his body.

There seemed to be some light in the sky, Du Yunyan's forehead felt cold, he stretched out his hand to touch it in a daze, and when he touched the towel soaked in cold water, his hand was held down.

"Don't move," said a very soft voice, "You have a fever."

He opened his eyes completely, and stared at Gu Wenxi beside him with sleepy eyes.

The temperature is not particularly high, and there is no need to take antipyretics. Gu Wenxi remembers that Wen Nan used a cold towel to physically cool himself down when he had a fever when he was a child, so he helped him deal with it like this.

"How is it possible?" Du Yunyan hadn't been sick for about five or six years, let alone a fever, and he didn't have any minor colds such as stuffy nose and runny nose. His first reaction was to not believe it.

"Here, it's going to be 38 degrees," Gu Wenxi held the thermometer in front of his eyes and shook it, "He also told me to be careful of catching a cold, because you got sick first."

Du Yunyan's consciousness returned a little bit, maybe it was because of yesterday's rain.

When I went to the river, I thought it would not rain again, and the journey was not far, so I didn't even bring an umbrella, but on the way back, there was a heavy rain, and both of them got drenched.

But at this temperature, it's too bad to catch a cold after being exposed to the rain. Du Yunyan was very reconciled and even thought of doing something even though he was fine before going to bed.

"There are not many people today, what is there to be busy with?" The breakfast was prepared the night before, just heat it up, "How about I bring you something to eat?"

"I have no appetite." As soon as he talked about eating, Du Yunyan lay back on his stomach again, rarely getting emotional.It may be due to illness, his appetite is not very good, the bread and bean paste buns made last night feel greasy, and the ready-made milk does not want to drink.

Both sides of his face were blushing, very similar to the way he was drunk before.Gu Wenxi bent her fingers and rubbed them against his face. It was hot, and her exhaled breath was also hot. When it touched Gu Wenxi's palm, it was a little itchy.

"I'll make some porridge for you to drink."

Du Yunyan finally slipped back into bed again, adopting an unusually lazy posture.

When Gu Wenxi agreed, she searched on her mobile phone. It is better to drink millet porridge if you have a fever, and it is not difficult to make. I went downstairs to cook it in a small rice cooker.

It's still gloomy outside, and if you look around a little, you can see oppressive black clouds.Because of the weather and his health, Du Yunyan's spirit was very poor, and he felt as if he had stepped on cotton, but he was not used to eating in the house, so he insisted on going to the restaurant.

There was nothing in the millet porridge, and Gu Wenxi ate too blandly, so he served kimchi and cold enoki mushrooms made by Du Hong as side dishes.Du Yunyan couldn't eat anything else, so he just drank the porridge quietly, the redness on his face still remained.

He didn't eat much at noon. He drank cold medicine and went back to his room early to rest.Before going to bed, I took my temperature again, and it dropped to 37 degrees.

"Am I recovering well?"

"That's not good yet," Gu Wenxi put down the thermometer, "take a rest."

"how about you?"

"I'll be up soon." There were some dishes in the kitchen that were not cleared away. Du Hong and the others hadn't had lunch yet, so I felt a little sorry to leave them all.Gu Wenxi filled the glass water bottle in the room with hot water before going downstairs.

Du Yunyan's fever subsided, but he was more tired than in the morning, and he didn't scramble to work any more. As soon as Gu Wenxi left, his consciousness sank and he fell asleep.

Sleep until you forget the time.

He woke up to the sound of water flowing as fine as a mountain spring, and opened his eyes bit by bit.Through the gauze curtain and the glass, the rain outside the window is just chaos. The dark world blunts people's senses, making it impossible to form an accurate judgment.

The bed next to him was empty, Du Yunyan didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, and he always woke up earlier than Gu Wenxi in the morning, and he hadn't woken up alone on this bed for a long time, and he felt at a loss for a moment without knowing where he was.

He sat up a little bit, sweating profusely on his back, and no longer felt cold.When looking for the phone, he touched the glass water bottle on the desk. The water was already half cold, and he hadn't had time to drink it yet.

The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and he immediately raised his head, following his gaze.

"Are you awake?" Gu Wenxi was tiptoeing, seeing that he had already woken up, she didn't care anymore, and hurried to the bed, holding a cup of unknown drink in her hand, "Would you like to have a taste?" He put The cup was handed to Du Yunyan's mouth.

A cup full of dark purple liquid, Du Yunyan's nose was a bit stuffed, and he couldn't smell it, so he asked guessingly, "Mulberry juice?"

"Yes, we just made it, and we used the ones picked yesterday." Wild mulberries are more sour, and they added more sugar and honey. "Du Yi said that it is better to make fruit juice."

"En." Du Yunyan nodded, took the cup and put it in his mouth. He liked sweet and sour juice very much, and almost drank it all in one gulp. His lips were dyed purple, and he still couldn't get enough of the empty cup.

"I can't drink any more," Gu Wenxi saw his intention, "Now drink more water."

"I know."

"Hey," Gu Wenxi poured the glass with white water, "What were you thinking just now?"

"What just now?"

"It was when I came in, why did you look so dazed, didn't you feel uncomfortable?"

"You're just staying!" Du Yunyan glared at him hard, but his eyes were still gentle, "It's just that I woke up just now and there was only one person, and my heart was a little empty." He explained embarrassingly.

Gu Wenxi was taken aback after hearing this, and asked with a smile, "Because I'm not here?"

"Didn't you say it will come up soon?" There was a subtle complaint in his tone, "It didn't come up either."

"Haha..." Gu Wenxi smiled softly, without telling him that they cleaned the first floor, "Then I will take a nap with you from now on?"

"Farewell," Du Yunyan immediately vetoed, and got off the bed, "No one will do anything if you're going to bed." Besides, when he was in good health, he wouldn't go to bed at noon.

"It's boring," Gu Wenxi stretched, "You don't want to lie down anymore?"

"No, it's too late to lie down," he drank the whole glass of water that Gu Wenxi handed over, "I'm already healed."

Gu Wenxi stretched out her right hand to touch his forehead, not only did the temperature drop, but she also broke out a thin layer of sweat, which seemed to be all right.

The rain stopped in the evening.They kept the windows open, and the evening wind, mixed with the smell of mud after the rain, poured into the house, cool and humid.

Recovery from illness is a good thing, but Du Yunyan seldom sleeps for so long during the day. The sequelae are that he can't sleep at night, and his limbs are still a little weak. He wants to rest early, but his brain is uncontrollably active.

"Do you need to close the window?" Gu Wenxi put her hand on his forehead again, as soon as the fever subsides, it will be bad if she catches the cold again.

Du Yunyan felt a little hot: "No, it's more comfortable this way."

"Can't you sleep?"

Du Yunyan didn't answer, but pulled the hand that was on his forehead just now, and pulled it under the quilt to play with his fingers, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "Wen Xi, you are very good at taking care of people."

"Is there?" Du Yunyan's illness recovered quickly, and Gu Wenxi didn't feel like he had done anything, "Then you are too easily satisfied, I am far behind my mother."

Du Yunyan's eyes rolled slightly, and his eyes were clear: "What kind of person is your mother... Auntie?"

Gu Wenxi tucked in the hem of the mosquito net on her side, and then slowly said: "My mother has a very good temper, she has never lost her temper with me, and she loves beauty. I was always dressed up beautifully by her when I was young. He lowered his head and glanced at the people around him, "I think if she can see you sooner, she should like you very much."

"why?"

"Because she likes beautiful children, like Barbie dolls."

The corner of Du Yunyan's mouth twitched: "How am I like a doll?"

"You must have looked like that when you were young, right?" Gu Wenxi circled his eyes with her index finger, "This eye...the eyelashes are so long, and the nose here..."

"Nonsense." Du Yunyan smiled and pulled off his fidgeting hand.

"She had cancer when I was in the third grade of elementary school," Gu Wenxi's voice sank, "I didn't understand it at the time, but I remembered that she took medicine every day and lost weight day by day, but she still loved to wear brand-name clothes, washed very cleanly, and occasionally Makeup...I didn't know she was so sick and thought she could stay with me for a long time."

"Wenxi—"

Gu Wenxi laughed at herself: "But I'm not as sensible as you. My mother's family also invites aunts, so there is no need for me to do anything. I even complained why she never took me out to play."

"Wen Xi," Du Yunyan remained silent for a while, and pressed a light kiss on the back of his hand, "Let's talk about something else."

"Yeah." Gu Wenxi looked around. He liked the hazy feeling of being isolated from the outside world after the mosquito net was put down. There were only the two of them in the small world surrounded by the gauze net. "Anything else you want to hear?"

"Anything is fine, the people and things you met elsewhere before are fine."

"Hey," Gu Wenxi was reminded of a few months ago, "How can I remember eating barbecue last year? I have talked so much, and you are not interested at all?"

Du Yunyan lay on his back and thought about it: "How long ago was that..."

"How long ago did I see that you were interested?!"

"Because I used to treat you—"

He was embarrassed to say it, but Gu Wenxi easily guessed: "You were not interested in me before?"

"It's all said in the past," Du Yunyan was slightly embarrassed, "You don't want to bring up old accounts?"

"Who turned up the old score with you?" Gu Wenxi smiled secretly, "I just want to know, are you interested in me now? How much are you interested?"

"Probably..." Du Yunyan said frankly, "I'm interested in listening to whatever you say."

"Okay, then let me tell you."

The veil illuminated by the desk lamp was dyed a warm light yellow.

Gu Wenxi talked about a lot of things about school, omitting the unhappiness with Jiang Chen, and also talked about the past travel... Later, his mouth became dry and he began to feel tired, but Du Yunyan became more energetic instead, without any sign of sleepiness.

"You don't want to sleep yet?"

"I sleep too much during the day," Du Yunyan's tone seemed a little aggrieved, "Why don't you sleep first?"

Unknown insects outside the window made weak and continuous sounds, and under the clear and shallow moonlight, the graceful and long sounds of the insects were even more set off.

Gu Wenxi looked at the window, feeling something in her heart: "How about I sing for you?"

"Sing?"

"Didn't I say I've formed a band before? There's nothing strange about singing." But being stared straight at him, he couldn't relax, so he said to Du Yunyan, "Close your eyes."

After Du Yunyan closed his eyes, the world did not fall into darkness, as if a colorful light bloomed above his head, and the singing voice floating in the night brought him into a distant dream.

"Purple fire, through the clouds of night

Flying like a shooting star, the trail of rain

Blooming flowers shatter, open the calm lake

Urgent like an osprey, I am far away

The Light of the Other World

swaying under this water

Every drop of water has bloomed

in the most beautiful place of life

......"

After Gu Wenxi sang the lyrics twice, she heard Du Yunyan's even breathing, and the sleeping man still had one hand on his chest.Gu Wenxi carefully removed his hand, stuffed it into the quilt, then got up and closed the window slightly, and then returned to the bed, lying beside him.

The chirping of insects never stopped.
