desolate

At dawn in the early morning, Zhou Ze was sweating and woke up uncomfortable.

There seemed to be some heavy weight on his body. He turned over and sat up, only to find that Zhou Xuan was sleeping on the other side with the quilt in his arms, with one leg across his body.

The memories of the previous night came one after another, and the feeling of powerlessness after the illness filled every limb.

Zhou Ze leaned against the bed for a while, he saw the newly bought antipyretics on the coffee table, and was slightly dazed.

"Hiss—" Zhou Xuan was a light sleeper, and the time the other party turned over woke him up.

"...Are you awake?" He rubbed his neck and sat up, his awkward sleeping position made him a little stiff.

"Well, thank you yesterday." Zhou Ze smiled apologetically at him, this time sincerely.

Zhou Xuan was about to complain, but he laughed at him, so he was embarrassed to say it now. He just scratched his hair irritably, and then got up to find the thermometer he bought yesterday.

"Take your temperature again when you wake up. I don't know what you did. If you have a cold in summer, you can still have a fever. You idiot."

Zhou Ze obediently put the thermometer under his arm, waited for 5 minutes and then took it out to check. It was 37 degrees and still had a low fever.

Zhou Xuan ordered two breakfast takeaways, one was porridge with side dishes, and the other was beef noodles with double ingredients.

It is so fragrant that Zhou chooses to feel like chewing wax when drinking porridge.

"I'll go to the hospital after eating." Zhou Xuan interrupted him before he could refuse, "Don't say no, you're going to cough up pneumonia, and I'll call your mother when the time comes, don't expect me to I still care about you."

"..."

That's your mother too.

After all, Zhou Ze was still not used to refuting the other party.

"Let me transfer the money for these medicines and meals to you, isn't the card suspended?"

"Forget it, deduct it from the room fee I owe you."

"I'm so sorry."

"I see that you are very embarrassed to take out the IOU."

Zhou Xuan gave him a blank look, and went into the toilet to change clothes.

While looking in the mirror and scratching his hair, he suddenly noticed two toothbrushes and tooth cups next to the washbasin. He suddenly felt a little strange, and when he turned around, he found a pair of slippers outside the door.

You can tell it's been used.

He returned to the room with a puzzled look on his face.

"Cho, don't you live alone?"

"what?"

Zhou Ze came to his senses and subconsciously denied it: "Of course I live alone."

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "No, no, why do you need to disassemble two toothbrushes when you live alone? Two pairs of slippers? And—"

He paced to the bedside and opened the drawer beside the bed: "And! Why is there a box of covers here? I still used three. I saw it last night. I thought it was from a hotel, but then I thought about it. You won’t be giving away mints, will you? Is it yours?”

How long has this been on?

Zhou Ze hurriedly closed the drawer, explaining very palely: "It's not what you think!"

"What am I thinking?"

Zhou Xuan stared straight at the young man in front of him, naturally not letting go of his red ears.

He expressed his understanding very generously: "If you have a girlfriend, you will have a girlfriend."

Zhou Ze hesitated: "No..."

"If you're not a girlfriend, you'll be with someone...!"

"Don't make a fool of yourself!"

Zhou Ze half-covered his face, wanting to clarify, but he didn't know whether to say that he didn't use the condom, or whether he was actually a girlfriend or a boyfriend?

It seems that the other party is not very acceptable.

"Don't you want to go to the hospital? Let's go, it will be too late later."

Zhou Ze pulled a short sleeve from the chair and put it on his head, trying to change the subject.

Zhou Xuan watched his movements, his eyes seemed to be equipped with scanners: "Hey, you still have tattoos? Because of that little girl?"

Zhou Ze put on his clothes, and the lower edge of the short sleeve just covered most of the tattoo.

Zhou Xuan looked empathetic: "Don't be embarrassed, it was the same when I was your age, the feelings were vigorous and menacing, and the tractor went up the mountain, and I couldn't stop it..."

After Zhou Ze changed his shoes, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He held the doorknob, annoyed and funny: "Indeed, but I don't know how to tattoo a name on a girl. After all, it's too silly to have a black square tattooed on my chest."

"..."

Zhou Xuan was passive and silent.

Although it was morning, there were still a lot of people in the hospital, and the hall on the first floor only smelled of thin disinfectant water. After registering and paying the fee, we went to the infusion room upstairs, and the smell of disinfectant water became stronger.

During the injection, Zhou Xuan suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, so Zhou Ze was alone in the infusion room waiting for the nurse to call his name.

"Zhou Zhou?"

The nurse confirmed his identity.

Zhou Ze nodded, then watched as the other party pushed the needle into the back of his hand.

"All right."

Just as the nurse was about to hand him the medicine, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him.

"Let me do it."

It was not Zhou Xuan's voice.

"Where to sit?" Ju Haonan asked while holding up his medicine.

Zhou Ze was startled, and it took two seconds before he pointed to an empty space in the corner of the infusion room.

"there."

Ju Haonan kindly sent him there, and helped him put the medicine on the infusion stand.

Zhou Ze looked up at him: "Thank you."

"Did you come alone?"

Ju Haonan sat down next to him, with purple hair that he had never seen before—Zhou Ze guessed in his heart that maybe this person's goal was to collect all seven hair colors.

The previous holidays seemed to have happened a long time ago, so long that they are now just like two people who know each other, and they can even chat casually like this when they meet by chance.

"My brother went out, are you here... are you sick?"

"It's not me, it's my girlfriend."

Ju Haonan didn't say much, but Zhou Ze automatically remembered the girl student with Qi Liuhai.

The two really don't get along.

But the other party may have seen what he was thinking, so he deliberately mentioned another person.

"Why isn't Pei here?"

"He... has something to do."

Ju Haonan chuckled: "You don't know where he is, do you?"

Zhou Ze turned his head: "You know?"

"I know, he is in Luyang, he should have just arrived."

The medicine poured into the blood vessel along the needle tip, and the pain made him shiver.

"Why did he..."

"Why didn't I tell you? Or why didn't I tell you?" The gold chain around Ju Haonan's neck was very eye-catching, "Then you have to tell me first what relationship you have with Pei."

"...Does this have anything to do with you?"

This sentence makes the relationship between the two seem to go back to half a year ago. In the next second, they can each carry a beer bottle and knock each other on the head.

"...You have a big temper. I'm afraid you forgot that I still have a debt to settle with you. If it wasn't for Pei Ye, do you think you would be fine?" Ju Haonan pointed to his head.

Of course Zhou Ze didn't forget.

He also knew that Pei Ye had handled the matter so well that he thought he had never opened anyone's head with a wine bottle.

But if you do it, you do it, and there will be retribution.

He stared at Ju Haonan, and suddenly reached out and pulled out a switchblade from the edge of his pocket: "Then...you stab me?"

"Are both of you sick?"

Ju Haonan hastily put away the switchblade and almost jumped up from his seat: "...that's all right, all right, just kidding, since I promised him not to trouble you, I'll do what I said——his mother , was arrested for taking drugs the day before yesterday, and still owed a lot of debts outside, he went to Luyang this time to make money, but why he didn't tell you, I don't know."

Ju Haonan paused, grabbed the lighter and cigarettes on the small table, and stood up: "Before he leaves, he asked me to pick up his mother the day after tomorrow, but I don't want to care about it, I know you two We have a good relationship, so I told you."

Zhou Ze asked in a low voice, "Where are you going to pick me up?"

"Wenhua Road Detention Center."

Zhou Ze silently wrote down the address in his heart.

Suddenly, he stopped Ju Haonan who was about to leave: "By the way, can I ask, how did he help me...solve you?"

"..."

Not long after Ju Haonan left, Zhou Xuan came back with two bags of snacks in his hand.

"I'm convinced, this supermarket doesn't even have sakura-flavored potato chips. I said I came here to play, but I've been your babysitter for two days..."

He babbled and put the snacks on his lap, but as soon as he turned his head, he was startled by the blood in the infusion tube: "Hey! What are you in a daze for? The blood is back to the fuck! Don't you feel it? Ouch, I'm so impressed." It's you... Nurse, nurse! Please help me change the medicine after the injection here!"

Zhou Xuan ran away in a hurry, and the people around seemed to look over.

All eyes criss-crossed.

Chickens and dogs jump.
