Too much

After the anesthetic effect passed, Shen Zeming woke up.His head was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and his left hand was splinted to his chest.

The moment he just woke up, there was an unbearable pain in the back of his head. He closed his eyes again and bit his lower lip tightly, instinctively not wanting to make any sound.

Until Qi Jingchen called his name in an anxious voice, and then rang the calling bell beside the bed.

The doctor on duty quickly came in with two nurses. He measured Shen Zeming's pulse with a stethoscope, and his frowning brows relaxed slightly before he approached Shen Zeming and asked, "Do you have a severe headache?"

At that time, the pain had passed, Shen Ze twitched his lower lip, his throat was very dry, he swallowed with difficulty, and replied in a low voice and weakly: "It doesn't hurt now."

The doctor nodded, carefully looked at Shen Zeming's face, and then said to Qi Jingchen who was standing by the side all the time: "It's nothing serious, it's a normal reaction after surgery."

"He just woke up, don't feed him a lot of water, you can use a cotton swab to wipe his lips." The doctor then explained the precautions, "You can let him drink some porridge later."

Qi Jingchen wrote it down carefully, watched the doctor and two nurses leave the ward, walked to Shen Zeming's bed and sat down, unwrapped the cotton swab given by the nurse, poured some warm water into the paper cup, moistened the cotton swab, and gently moistened Shen Zeming's lips .

When the cotton swab saturated with water was rubbed on his lips, a small amount of water leaked into his mouth along the crevice of his lips. Shen Zeming couldn't help but open his mouth to lick it.

Qi Jingchen paused for a moment, followed the doctor's orders three times, put down the cotton swab, looked at Shen Zeming, "Does it hurt?"

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing Shen Zeming's wound.

Shen Zeming wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but when he moved slightly, the wound on the back of his head tingled.He had no choice but to maintain a posture, looked at Qi Jingchen and said, "It doesn't hurt now."

For some reason, Qi Jingchen frowned and looked away.After a while, he slowed down his voice and asked, "Why did you push me away? What if I die?"

At this time, Qi Jingchen was willing to look at Shen Zeming again, and stared at Shen Zeming directly, with an extremely focused expression, revealing a little incomprehensible stubbornness in his eyes.

Not long after waking up, the consciousness of the brain is not very clear, and Shen Zeming is not comfortable being watched by him, and he can't think for a while.He blinked slowly, trying to remember what happened before he passed out.

During this period, Qi Jingchen patiently did not urge him, but he never left Shen Zeming's eyes.

In fact, when he saw the bookshelf was about to fall, Shen Zeming didn't think much, he just didn't want both of them to get hurt.As for why he chose to keep Qi Jingchen from getting hurt, he couldn't say it himself, it was like a subconscious instinctive reaction.

"I didn't think that much at the time." Shen Zeming said, "I just...don't want, don't want you to get hurt."

Hearing this, Qi Jingchen looked at Shen Zeming calmly, without pausing, and continued to ask, "Why don't you want me to get hurt?"

His voice was not as gentle as before, and his eyes were sharper, with an aggressive feeling.

But Shen Zeming didn't pay that much attention, he just felt that Qi Jingchen's eyes seemed too straightforward and naked, with some kind of aggressive probing, which made him a little annoyed for no reason.

He turned his eyes away, looked elsewhere, his eyelashes trembled unnaturally, and said awkwardly: "Oh, I said it once before. You are very good to me, and I want to be good to you too."

Qi Jingchen quickly refuted him: "I'm not good to you."

Shen Zeming was really annoyed this time, but because of the injuries to the back of his head and left hand, he couldn't do anything, so he gave Qi Jingchen a non-threatening look, "Why are you like this? Is it up to you to judge whether it's good or not? "

Qi Jingchen didn't speak. After a while, he closed his eyes, his expression softened, and his voice became gentle again, "Have you thought about it? That bookshelf can kill people."

"I haven't thought about it." Shen Zeming replied quickly, "The situation was too dangerous at that time, and I didn't have time to think so much."

After a short pause, he licked his lips in embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "It's just... instinct?"

instinct.

These two words are too heavy.

At that moment, Qi Jingchen felt that the barrier he carefully set up for Shen Zeming collapsed and shattered in an instant, and a new thing slowly filled in.

He tilted his head, his eyes gradually darkened.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Jingchen turned back to look at Shen Zeming, as if sighing, but also as if laughing at himself, and said softly: "It's so stupid."

His voice was too low, Shen Zeming didn't hear it, but saw Qi Jingchen's lips move a few times.He blinked in confusion, and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Qi Jingchen smiled, "Are you hungry? I'll go buy porridge for you."

"A little hungry." Shen Zeming smiled shyly.

Qi Jingchen stood up and was about to go out to buy porridge. Before leaving, he pulled down the coil connected to the bedside calling bell and placed it next to Shen Zeming's pillow, and told him to ring the bell to call the doctor if he felt uncomfortable.

Shen Zeming agreed, and Qi Jingchen opened the door and walked out.

He took the elevator downstairs, and when the number in the small box jumped to three, Sheng Juan called.

Three days ago, Sheng Juan heard about Qi Hanshan and his new wife, she packed her things and rushed back to City A overnight, and she hasn't come back until today.

Qi Jingchen answered the phone, Sheng Juan was very quiet on the other end, she said: "Ah Chen, I read the news that there was an earthquake in City H, how is the situation?"

"It's not serious." Qi Jingchen said.

Sheng Juan said "ah", and talked about other things, and finally she said: "Qi Hanshan's little wife is pregnant with a son, and half of your property will be divided by her. Mom does not allow this to happen .”

Qi Jingchen was a little annoyed, and didn't speak, so Sheng Juan continued talking on her own.When the elevator reached the first floor, he told Sheng Juan that the signal was not good, and quickly hung up the phone.

It was already dark, and fearing another aftershock, many tents were set up on the lawn under the building of the inpatient department, and patients with milder conditions were transferred here.

The window selling late night snacks in the hospital cafeteria was still closed, Qi Jingchen bought two servings of vegetable porridge, and walked back with his things.

He went to the door of the ward, just in time to bump into Shen Ming who pushed the door out from inside.

Not knowing what happened inside, Shen Ming frowned, his expression was not good, when he saw Qi Jingchen, he nodded politely, turned around and left without saying anything.

Qi Jingchen pushed open the door and walked in. Shen Zeming still maintained the posture before he left. Seeing Qi Jingchen coming in, his eyeballs rolled around and finally landed on the porridge bowl in Qi Jingchen's hand, but he asked, "Why don't you Go home? Isn't Aunt Sheng worried about you?"

Qi Jingchen went to the bed and sat down, opened the lid and said expressionlessly, "She's out of town."

After speaking, he filled a spoonful of porridge with a spoon and handed it to Shen Zeming's mouth naturally.

Shen Zeming stayed for a few seconds, looked up at Qi Jingchen, and asked suspiciously, "You feed me?"

"En." Qi Jingchen glanced at him, "Otherwise, do you have hands?"

Shen Zeming looked down at his left hand, which was tied to his chest by a splint, and said without confidence: "I can use my right hand."

"The doctor said you can't move." Qi Jingchen was very patient.

Shen Zeming compromised and bit the spoon with his mouth open.

After drinking the porridge, it was close to eleven o'clock at night, Shen Zeming was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he forced his consciousness to see that Qi Jingchen didn't intend to go home to sleep, so he patted the other side of the hospital bed with his good right hand, "Come up together Go to sleep, the bed is big."

Qi Jingchen shook his head, "No, I don't need to sleep."

"What are you talking about? It's okay if you don't sleep." Shen Zeming gave him a dissatisfied look, but he was too tired and sleepy, and he didn't have the extra energy to entangle with Qi Jingchen.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and Qi Jingchen went to the door and turned off the light.

Shen Zeming quickly fell asleep.Qi Jingchen stood in the dark and looked at him quietly.

Tonight's moon is big and round, and Shen Zeming's ward is on the fifth floor, and he can hear a little noise from the tent below, amidst the commotion, there are a few cat meows.

Qi Jingchen quickly approached the window and looked down with his head hooked.

He had good eyesight, and with the help of the light from the ward downstairs, he saw a snow-white kitten squatting on the grass and eating.

This cat looks a lot like the one he picked up when he was six years old.That day, Sheng Juan beat him up because he skipped two sips of soup at dinner, and then threw him out of the house.

Qi Jingchen stood at the door of the house for a while, seeing that Sheng Juan didn't intend to open the door, he took the elevator downstairs.

When I walked to the small garden downstairs, it rained heavily suddenly.He was sitting under a big tree sheltering from the rain when his cat appeared.

The cat was only a little bigger than the milk cat, its hair was wet, and it squatted pitifully opposite Qi Jingchen.Perhaps because of the sympathy of the same kind, the cat took the initiative to approach Qi Jingchen and lick the back of his hand.

The cat's tongue was warm and soft, and there was a slight tingling when it touched the skin. Qi Jingchen hugged it into his arms.After the rain stopped, he took the cat to the basement, bought water and food for it with pocket money, and hoped that the cat would stay with him forever in the basement.

He brings it food every day and plays with it.But one day, the cat escaped, ate the food fed by another person, and licked the back of another person's hand in front of his eyes.

The cat doesn't want him anymore.

But obviously the cat gave him love first.

Qi Jingchen couldn't tolerate such a betrayal.He wondered if he would be unable to abandon him if he turned into a corpse.

So he killed the cat with his own hands, sat holding the cat's body for a long time, and finally put the body into formalin and sealed it in the abandoned basement forever.

Qi Jingchen never denies his selfishness and indifference. He has no love, so even if he only gets a little, he must hold it all in his palm.

Now, Shen Zeming is the cat.

Qi Jingchen lay down beside Shen Zeming, closed his eyes, and held Shen Zeming's hand.
