well-directed

The sun in the summer afternoon is even hotter, and even the heated concrete floor emits heat that is close to the face.Su Chi originally wanted to stay outside until night before going back, but couldn't stand the hot weather, so he got into Liu Chuxun's car and opened Qi Jingchen's house like a guilty conscience.

He always felt it was weird, and he was always afraid that if Qi Jingchen stood by the door, wouldn't that be more embarrassing than having an extramarital affair and being caught in bed?

But Qi Jingchen was running around in medical teaching and research, and he was almost busy, so he naturally wouldn't wait for Su Chi to come back at home.

Su Chi put down the heavy script on the dining table, poured a glass of ice water to relax for a while.He took out the newly prescribed medicine brought by Liu Chuxun, and dripped it into his eyes little by little according to the dosage.The transparent and crystal-clear liquid hung above the eyes for a second and then fell into Su Chi's slightly raised eyes. The fog in the left eye was still shrouded, but it gave Su Chi an incomprehensible breath.

He originally wanted to use the local vegetable delivery software to place an order for some fresh food, after all, there were two people eating.Suddenly remembering what Liu Chuxun said about Qi Jingchen also having a house in Gulou District, his heart sank.Finally closed the order software.

Qi Jingchen didn't have class again tomorrow, so he wouldn't come over, Su Chi didn't have the mood to toss three dishes and one soup, so he planned to go downstairs and eat fried rice.

As a result, at 06:30, Su Chi was lying on the big sofa in the home theater and almost fell asleep. He suddenly heard the sound of the keyhole turning.

Su Chi saw Qi Jingchen in a white shirt and black trousers, with one hand in the key box in the entrance, his long sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and with the other he pulled the door behind him and closed it tightly.The lock fell with a "click", and the room became more and more quiet.

Su Chi quickly unlocked his phone and placed an order for all the vegetables, eggs and meat in the shopping cart. Qi Jingchen came out to look at him after washing his hands, and he quickly explained: "I... I didn't know you were back."

"Why?" Qi Jingchen glanced at him, showing some curiosity.

Seeing that he should be in a good mood, Su Chi thought that he would not be angry if he just made an explanation.After all, you can't just say "how nice your house in Gulou District is, you must go back".

"I mean, there are so many people seeing the doctor on weekends, you shouldn't be able to come back."

"You know the hospital business quite well." Qi Jingchen walked by Su Chi's side and poured himself a glass of water.

Su Chi stood where he was and walked away, but he endured the embarrassment in his heart and said, "I ordered errands to deliver food, and I'll make dinner in a while."

"Still eating at home?" Qi Jingchen put down his water glass and looked into the kitchen and asked.

"The dishes have already been ordered."

Qi Jingchen pointed to the rice cooker that was not plugged in and had no rice or water in it. Su Chi suddenly realized after a while.He hasn't touched rice for so long that he forgot that normal people have to eat staple food.

, Su Chi found the rice cabinet, scooped out two bowls of uncooked rice, put them in the rice washing basin and washed them again and again.Qi Jingchen leaned against the cutting board and asked, "I heard you quit carbs?" He bit the last three words very hard.

Su Chi lowered his head and didn't look at him, and replied in a muffled voice: "Well, let's follow the rules in the industry." In front of the doctor, he said that this kind of eating method was almost harmful to the body, and Su Chi felt a little guilty.

Qi Jingchen didn't ask any more questions, got up and walked out of the kitchen, Su Chi put the rice in the rice cooker and steamed it with relief.

The dishes served include tofu, cabbage, beans and beef, and other simple ingredients.Su Chi quickly fried beans, beef with green peppers, cooked cabbage and tofu soup, and served it out, for fear that Qi Jingchen would not like it if it was late.

Su Chi was always preparing for Qi Jingchen to be furious, but this person never seemed to have any extreme emotions, and the stone in his heart would never fall down.

Whenever Qi Jingchen shows some emotions that should be in the world, Su Chi has long been open to get along with him.But he is as calm as a deep pool of water, and no one knows whether the bottom of the pool is an underground river or a crater.Su Chi was afraid that if he moved casually, he would accumulate some dissatisfaction, and eventually the sky would collapse.

He felt dangerous and uneasy, consciously felt embarrassed, and wanted to escape.When the two sat opposite each other to eat, Su Chi scooped up rice for Qi Jingchen, but his own bowl was empty.

Qi Jingchen looked at him and said, "Heal your wounds, let's eat."

Su Chi shook his head and said, "I'm dizzy after eating, I'm not used to it." There was a little helplessness in his tone, and he meant to blame himself.Qi Jingchen paused when his chopsticks landed on the tofu.

Sitting silently made Su Chi feel even more embarrassed. He asked ramblingly, "Does Professor He Qi have an appetite?"

Qi Jingchen nodded, and the two fell into silence again.

"If Professor Qi finds it troublesome to buy groceries, you can use the groceries delivery software, and I'll send them back to you."

"Just call me by name." Qi Jingchen said this coldly, and Su Chi thought for a while before realizing that he was talking about a title.

"Then, Qi, Jing, and Chen." Su Chi jumped out word by word, Er Jia's Mandarin words were correct.The warm yellow light illuminated his thin lips and opened them to both sides. His tongue moved up and down, and he spit out three words gently.

Before the person on the opposite side had time to respond, Su Chi's hand holding the bowl suddenly became unsteady. He immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, and the sound of touching the table was especially crisp and clear.Qi Jingchen raised his head, Su Chi covered his left eye with his left hand, and rested his right hand on the table.

Qi Jingchen's heart was full of alarm bells, he got up and approached Su Chi, and said softly: "Let go of your hands, let me see."

Su Chi's left eye and the left half of his head were hurting, and his right eye was exposed to the air, and it could be seen that it was slightly moist.He put down his hand with difficulty, and even moving his left hand felt painful.

Su Chi's left eye was half-opened, already at his limit, Qi Jingchen saw that it was full of red blood, and took a light breath.He raised his hand to touch Su Chi's eyes, Su Chi instinctively hid back, Qi Jingchen apologized and said, "It will hurt a little."

Su Chi nodded. The moment Qi Jingchen touched Su Chi's eyes, he tightly grasped the thin wide-leg pants and took a deep breath.The right eye also turned red, and the mist in front of him became thicker.

Qi Jingchen became a little anxious, and his breathing speed increased: "Did Liu Chuxun get you the medicine?"

Su Chi nodded, and completely closed his left eye.The tearing sensation of the migraine almost made him pass out, but every time he tried to relax that nerve, the overwhelming pain would come again.

Su Chi saw the eye drops in Qi Jingchen's hand, and raised his head to let him handle it.Qi Jingchen put his hand on Su Chi's head, and Su Chi's whole body trembled from the pain.Qi Jingchen changed his gentleness during the examination, opened Su Chi's left eye forcefully, and quickly dripped eye drops.

Su Chi clutched the fabric of his trousers tightly, and the physiological tears in his right eye welled up.Qi Jingchen comforted him and said, "Short pain is better."

Su Chi admitted that this was indeed the case, but the stinging pain from his eyes was too terrible.He sat at the dining table for a while, Qi Jingchen cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and when he received them, Su Chi opened his right eye and looked at Qi Jingchen, with a bit of relief in his tone:

"It's because the intraocular pressure is too high, right?" Qi Jingchen nodded, and he continued: "I heard that if you don't take medicine in time, it will cause glaucoma or even blindness."

Qi Jingchen put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to him solemnly: "You won't."

"That's because you saved it again." Su Chi pointed to his left eye and said, "Thank you." He got up to help Qi Jingchen wash the dishes, but Qi Jingchen blocked him and asked him to sit still.Su Chi nodded and was about to walk out of the kitchen when a bell rang suddenly, and both of them stopped breathing.

The memories of yesterday surged up again, and even with the memories of the past three months, Su Chi felt a chill down his spine, and Qi Jingchen also had indescribable emotions on his brows.He watched Su Chi take out his cell phone, and after looking at the caller ID, his facial expression obviously relaxed. He shook his head at Qi Jingchen, then picked up the phone and walked to the living room.

The caller was Long Tingyu, and Su Chi hadn't saved his phone number, so there was no corresponding contact name displayed.He was very happy when he heard that Su Chi had accepted the invitation for the new drama, so he came to discuss the male protagonist he wanted.

Long Tingyu explained: "A large part of the reason for choosing you is this accident. You basically went smoothly for the first two decades. The tenacity of life is very similar to this hero."

"But, in the films you usually accept, the hero is more sunny, positive, and romantic from the beginning to the end. This time, apart from tenacity, the rest is lost and fierce. These are themes you have never been exposed to. , think about it carefully."

Su Chi responded humbly to him on the phone, and Long Tingyu talked about the screenwriter's creative ideas. After chatting for half an hour, Su Chi's left side of his head didn't feel very painful.I don't know if it's the effect of the medicine or the distraction.

Qi Jingchen put away two sets of bowls and chopsticks, washed away two pots, and amidst the sound of water, he heard Su Chi's voice on the phone in the living room.He intentionally slowed down. After washing the pots and dishes, he stood in the kitchen and listened to the voice of the conversation outside gradually getting quieter. He didn't leave the kitchen until he hung up the phone, and finally put the cooled leftovers into the refrigerator.

He didn't ask Su Chi when he came out, and turned on a soft white light, and the whole living room seemed to be shrouded in artificial moonlight.Seeing him trying to open his left eye, Qi Jingchen bent down to take a look, most of the bloodshot eyes faded, and the bulging sensation on the upper eyelid basically subsided.

Qi Jingchen had read the doctor's instructions in the package of medicine, and the precautions for the usage and dosage of other medicines were clearly written.But for Lu Dashu, which is responsible for lowering intraocular pressure, the writing is very official, and it is repeatedly emphasized that if you can use it, you don’t need it.Maybe Su Chi himself didn't realize that there was a sign of high eye pressure, and he didn't even touch the brand new box of medicine in the afternoon.

"I thought that antihypertensive drugs should not be used frequently, and I haven't prescribed them in the afternoon. Who knows..." Su Chi explained while watching Qi Jingchen staring at the bag of medicines.Qi Jingchen was about to ask a few words, but Su Chi's cell phone rang again.

This time it was Liu Chuxun, who asked, "Did Director Long contact you?"

Su Chi hugged the phone and said "um".Liu Chuxun panted heavily as if he had just run past, and spoke intermittently: "If you're okay, I'll contact the nursing home!"

"Where are you?" Su Chi asked him first.Liu Chuxun took a deep breath and finally managed to stabilize his breathing: "Boss Mu gave me a holiday before entering the house. The elevator in the neighborhood is broken."

Su Chi heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that this person had already driven to a nursing home thousands of miles away. He looked up at Qi Jingchen, and Qi Jingchen felt his gaze also looked back. The eyes that reflected his own shadow moved, and then He looked away and said to the phone: "Then you can rest at ease."

"Where are you going to live?" Liu Chuxun was annoyed by his nine-twist and eighteen-twist babbling, and his voice raised a lot.Su Chi looked at Qi Jingchen subconsciously, his eyes were on his mobile phone, Su Chi guessed that he heard it, and embarrassedly covered the receiver.

Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand, Su Chi gave a suspicious "Hey", loosened his palm slightly, and the phone slipped directly into Qi Jingchen's hand, he looked at Su Chi and said, "Stay here with me."
