The selfish gene

"Both of us... are poor bastards, poor bastards that no one likes..."

"Not pitiful." The palm of my hand gently stroked the top of my hair, "Actually, I... have recognized you a long time ago. What I like has never been your voice, no, I like it far more than your voice. You How could no one like it?"

Ji Chenfeng's voice was close to his ears, full of joy and sadness.

"...You obviously have so many likes from me."

When I opened my eyes, the room was dark, and there was a small night light on the bedside.

So what he said last time was this...

My mind was still in the dream, and after a brief period of confusion, as I regained my consciousness, I gradually remembered where I was——I was in Ji Chenfeng's bedroom.

My body is still limp and weak, heavier and hotter than usual, and I still have a low fever.

Sitting up covering the gauze on her shoulders, the quilt slipped off her body, and there was nothing on her body except a pair of underwear.I looked at this mysterious bedroom curiously, wanting to see what Ji Chenfeng was hiding, but I didn't find anything unusual.

The room is only eight or nine square meters, and the 1.5-meter iron frame bed is placed next to the window. There is no bedside table at the bedside, and a small desk is used instead.There are some shelf boards nailed to the wall, and many books are placed there.Beyond that is the wardrobe, a simple log two-door style, so small that it is not enough to store my clothes for a season.

The noise of the range hood came to the bedroom through the door along with the smell of food. I opened the curtains and took a look. It was already dark outside, at least six or seven o'clock.

i slept all day...

Picking up the water glass on the desk, I found that the water was still warm.Ji Chenfeng didn't go to work today, did he ask for leave to take care of me?

Recalling last night, I covered my eyes with some embarrassment.

"I will never quarrel with you again... lock me up, put me in shackles, treat me whatever you want... I only want you... as long as you are alone..."

The bodily fluids in the body seemed to be scrambling to get out, tears accumulated in the eye sockets, choked up and fell from the end of the eyes, sliding into the temples.

Ji Chenfeng grabbed my wrist with the other hand, and pulled my hand away without much effort.

My heart sank, I curled up my fingers, thinking that he meant to refuse, but instead of being thrown away by him, the hand was stuffed back into the quilt.

He tucked the quilt up for me again, and said: "I just went out to get a glass of water, and I'll be back soon. You close your eyes and rest first, and we'll talk about this after you recover from illness."

I don't want to wait until the illness recovers, because he won't be so easy to talk about when he recovers.But before I could say anything more, his palms covered my eyes.

His eyes were plunged into darkness, and his low coaxing voice was in his ears.

"Good boy." He repeated over and over again, "Don't cry..."

I seem to have returned to my childhood, all the suppressed grievances, tears, pain, all vented out tonight.

"I'm already very good..."

The palm trembled undetectably, and Ji Chenfeng seemed to be smiling.

"Be nicer."

What is being nicer?

I still want to ask, but my drowsy consciousness doesn't allow it.The sore and swollen eyes couldn't hold back, I couldn't help closing them, and opening them again is now...

It's unbelievable that I held Ji Chenfeng's hand, crying and telling him not to drive me away?I'm so crazy.

It can only be said that everything yesterday was a bit beyond my tolerance threshold, and being sick would make a person extra vulnerable. The combination of the two finally led to my collapse.

It's okay that I'm just guilty of what all grown-ups are capable of.

The sound of the range hood outside suddenly fell silent, I came back to my senses, put down the water glass, and quickly lay back down again.After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and the aroma of the food became stronger.

The footsteps stopped by the bed, and after the other party put down something, he came over and touched my forehead.

Warm palms pressed against my cheeks, and my thumbs rubbed the skin at the end of my eyes for a long time.At first I was a little puzzled, but then I suddenly realized that he must be touching my scar.

Before, Sang Zhengbai hit the corner of his eye with a metal pen holder, and went to the hospital for several stitches.Because absorbable threads are used, the scars left after healing are not obvious, and you can't see them if you don't look carefully.Even I almost forgot that there was a scar here.

With his finger off his cheek, Ji Chenfeng shook my shoulder lightly and said, "Sang Nian..."

My eyelashes fluttered slightly, and I slowly opened my eyes, pretending to just wake up.

Ji Chenfeng helped me up, put the pillow on my back, dragged the chair and sat on the side of the bed.

"I cooked some porridge, you haven't eaten all day, go to bed after eating." As he said, he picked up the small bowl on the desk, scooped up a spoonful of porridge to cool down, and handed it to my lips.

I don't have any appetite at all, but because Ji Chenfeng cooked the porridge specially for me, even if I couldn't eat it, I still opened my mouth and obediently swallowed it.

After eating takeaway for several months, I tasted the familiar taste again, and my nose was slightly sour.I lowered my eyes, not daring to look at Ji Chenfeng again.

It's good for him to be soft-hearted to me, but I don't want to always show my vulnerable side.

After eating most of the bowl, I really couldn't eat the rest, Ji Chenfeng didn't force me, helped me to lie down, and went out with the porridge bowl and cup.After a few minutes, he came in again and put a cup of hot water on the desk.

Afraid that he would leave again, I grabbed him by the corner of his clothes when he turned around, and held him back: "Don't leave..."

He didn't move, didn't speak, just stalemate for a moment, then turned around and compromised.

"Lie down in there."

Trying to suppress the joy in my heart, I retracted my hand and carefully moved out of my original position.

Ji Chenfeng sat on the bed, leaned against the head of the bed, and did not lie down.

"Go to sleep." With one hand covering my eyes, he urged me to sleep.

After finally sleeping on a bed, how could it be possible to just sleep like this?

It's a pity that I'm so weak and drowsy now, otherwise such a good opportunity would be too unreasonable if nothing happened.

"Is it okay that you didn't go to work today?" Blinking, I asked.

"I took a day off."

"What if... I'm not well tomorrow?"

"One more day please."

He raised his hand to tentatively touch the hand covering his eyes, his fingertips landed on the back of the hand, and fumbled to hold it little by little.He didn't reject it and let me touch it.

Close your eyes, this time not only your nose is sore, but your heart is also sore.

"I didn't know Lu Sui would be there yesterday...I didn't mean to..."

Ji Chenfeng's hand moved slightly, and I was afraid that he would take it away, so I quickly clenched it vigilantly.

He didn't move anymore, and relaxed the strength in his hand: "Zheng Jieyuan called, and he told me everything."

I don't know whether to scold Zheng Jieyuan for his big mouth or thank him for his outstanding contribution to my love.

"...Is he all right?"

Finally, I decided to digress.

"He didn't talk too much about himself, he just said that the car is with you, and he will come to pick it up when he has time."

available?Is he still at Shi Hao's place? Otherwise, how could he not be free?

Even though it was Zheng Jieyuan's own choice, I still couldn't help worrying about him. After all, Shi Hao is too unconventional, and I don't know what kind of mess he will make.Wait for a call tomorrow to take care of him...

"Does it hurt?"

For a moment, I thought Ji Chenfeng was asking me if the wound hurts now, and hurriedly said: "It's much better, if you don't move, it won't hurt."

Ji Chenfeng calmed down, and said again: "I'm asking, did it hurt yesterday?"

The word "no" came to his lips, remembering that he was in a difficult situation now, and there was a risk of being driven away at any time, so he swallowed it back.

"Hmm..." I said, "It hurts."

I stuck to Ji Chenfeng's side all night, holding his arm, afraid that he would leave while I was asleep.

The next morning, I woke up by myself before six o'clock.

Ji Chenfeng was still sleeping, lying quietly beside me, the cochlear implant on the pinna was not removed all night.

Staring at the black instrument like a bluetooth headset, I suddenly realized something was wrong.

No matter how thin the door panel is, if he falls asleep and does not wear a cochlear implant, how on earth will he discover my abnormalities?He shouldn't have heard me no matter how loudly I cried because of my nightmare.

telepathy?Or, since I moved in, he hasn't had a cochlear implant?

Cochlear implants are completely different from the human body's natural cochlea.Ordinary people mainly receive sound through air conduction and bone conduction. The auditory system of the hearing-impaired people who can be implanted with cochlear implants has been damaged. They can only convert the sound into codes through an external language processor, forming electrical pulses to stimulate the auditory nerve, and then the brain Translate into various voices.

Ordinary people will only feel noisy when listening to the sound, and will not feel tired.However, because cochlear implanters have to concentrate on listening to the sound all the time, they are prone to hearing fatigue, especially... those with unilateral cochlear implants.

Thinking about it carefully, from the time I met him to the present, even if the cochlear implant is out of power, he will work hard to understand what I mean.It has never happened once that I missed my needs because I couldn't hear them.

I have many, many likes from him, so much that even if he knows that I am despicable and shameless, he still has nothing to do with those likes that cannot be consumed.And the biggest punishment he can think of for me is to stop receiving my voice.

I'm so stupid, why should I care about what that idiot Zhou Jiyu said?What kind of hero complex, what is it not, what is it?As long as Ji Chenfeng likes me, does it matter whether he sees me as a hero or a dragon, a stone or a flower?

He wanted to remove the cochlear implant for Ji Chenfeng and let him have a complete rest. His eyelashes fluttered before his fingers touched the instrument on his ear, and he woke up leisurely.

It was too late to pretend to be asleep, and I was caught by him.

"You're awake..." I could only smile dryly and withdraw my hand.

Maybe it's because he didn't take care of me for the past two days. His reaction was a little slow. It took a long time for him to fully wake up and sit up from the bed.The first thing I did was take the ear thermometer on the table and take my temperature.

"37, the fever is almost gone." Putting the ear thermometer back on the table, he lifted the quilt, rubbed the back of his neck and got out of bed, "I'll show you the wound after breakfast..."

"I want to take a shower." I followed suit and sat up.

Opening the desk drawer, Ji Chenfeng took off the cochlear implant, took out the spare battery from the drawer, and replaced the device with insufficient power.

"No, your wound can't touch water yet."

Although I haven't showered for a day, but it's so hot now, there is no air conditioner at home, and I sweated so much before, I feel like I'm going to rot.

"But I want to take a bath..." After he put on the cochlear implant again, I launched my offensive again, "I will be careful not to touch the wound. Please, Dr. Ji."

Hearing this, Ji Chenfeng stood quietly in front of the desk for a while, and after struggling, he sighed and said, "Then wash it at night."

I raised the corners of my lips, trying not to be so obvious about my complacency.

After breakfast, Ji Chenfeng asked me to go back to the bedroom and continue to lie down, and he will come to change the gauze for me after he finishes cleaning the kitchen.

It's over.My sense of taste may have been burnt out, I ate salty porridge, but the sweet taste in my mouth couldn't go away...

Obediently went back to the room to lie down, remembered that he hadn't taken medicine for two days, sat up again, sneaked into the living room, and opened his suitcase.

After picking out two pills, he found that there was no water in the living room, and was about to go back to the bedroom when Ji Chenfeng's voice suddenly rang out.

"What are you looking for?"

With a shake of his hand, a pill fell to the ground.The small rose-red pill passed between my legs as if it had eyes, and rolled towards Ji Chenfeng behind me.

I turned around in a hurry, and it was too late to step on it.The small pill rolled to Ji Chenfeng's feet, and he bent down to pick it up.

"What is this?" He put the pill on his nose and sniffed it, then frowned and looked at me.
