lonely patient

I have a fever.The body fluctuates from hot to cold, sometimes it seems to be baked on the stove, and sometimes it seems to fall into a zero-degree ice cave.

In the chaos, I said a lot of nonsense that even I couldn't distinguish. I wanted to see Xu Yang again, but he was always vague.

I felt that someone was watching me all the time, tucking me under the quilt, taking my temperature, feeding me medicine, and wiping my forehead with a hot towel.

His hands are big and warm, which is reassuring in the dark.

But he is not Xu Yang.

who would it be...

After an unknown amount of time, I finally woke up slowly, opened my eyes dimly, and found myself lying on a strange bed.

where am I……

My limbs are sore, I have no strength in my whole body, and I find it difficult to get up.

I looked around to make sure I didn't remember such a room.

squeak--

Someone opened the door and came in.

I looked over, but I didn't expect it to be Wen Luming.

"Are you awake?" With water and medicine in his hand, he came over and sat by the bed naturally, picked up a thermometer from the bedside, and said, "Take another temperature."

My head was still dizzy, and I couldn't figure out why he appeared here, but I opened my mouth mechanically to hold the thermometer he handed over.

"Are you hungry?" Wen Luming asked.

I shook my head and at the same time my stomach growled.

He sighed: "You burned for two days."

I looked at him and asked silently with my eyes.

"I went to visit the grave that morning, and I happened to see you fainting there. Your phone was out of battery, so I had no choice but to bring you back." Wen Luming said calmly.

In the morning... I clearly remember seeing darkness when I opened my eyes, was it because of the rain?

Speaking of rain, why do you have to go to the grave when it's raining...

My head hurts, and the more I think about it, the more it hurts.

I suspect that my memory has been confused, maybe there is no heavy rain, maybe it is really morning.If it wasn't for the fact that the bag from hitting my head on the coffee table was still there, I even suspected that I was just drunk and crazy before running to the cemetery in the middle of the night.

In any case, Wen Luming saved me, and when he took the thermometer away, I thanked him.

"It's easy." Wen Luming looked down at the thermometer, "The fever is gone."

After finishing speaking, he handed me the water glass next to the bed: "Come and drink some water."

I sat up with my arms propped up, took the water glass, and gulped down a large glass of water.

"There is porridge cooking in the pot, I'll get you some." Wen Luming said again.

"Hey," I wanted to ask something, but he had already gone out.

The layout of the room is simple and clean, just like Wen Luming himself.I lay back under the quilt, looked at the ceiling, and remembered the laurel aroma I smelled before I fainted that day. If it wasn't a hallucination, it was most likely Wen Luming's pheromone.

What a coincidence...

I didn't think much about it because of the headache.

Wen Luming came back after a while, holding a bowl of light white porridge. I felt really hungry when I smelled the aroma of rice, and my stomach started to ache.

I sat up and took the bowl and said, "Thank you."

"Be careful it's hot." Wen Luming said.

The porridge is my favorite. The rice soup is smooth, the rice flowers are finely broken, and the temperature is just right for the mouth, not hot at all.

I drank the porridge silently, while Wen Luming sat by the bed and looked at me without saying a word.

From the corner of my eye, I saw his attire clearly. He was still wearing the gentle silver-rimmed glasses, and he was wearing a set of slightly old light brown home clothes. When the sun shone in, he looked like a silent tree in autumn.

I have the same pajamas on myself, if I guess correctly, he changed it for me.

When I finished a bowl of porridge, Wen Luming asked, "Do you want more?"

I shook my head and asked, "Where's my phone?"

Wen Luming opened the bedside table and gave me the phone, I plugged in the charger, waited a few seconds for the screen to light up, and countless missed calls and messages popped up, including Luna’s, Jiang Han’s and Qin Bei’s, but There is no praise.

It seems that he is determined to ignore me.

Recalling what Yan Song said to me that day, I tried to use my mobile phone to transfer money to Luna, only to find that all accounts under my name had been frozen.

The last time Yan Song did this to me was ten years ago, when I said I would not go abroad, he cut off my living expenses in a rage.

Now that I'm 28, he still treats me like a child.

But this is indeed the most effective way.Although ten years later I will have a company, property, an endless house and an endless number of cars to drive, but as long as Yan Song thinks about it, he can make me unable to get a single penny out of me, completely turning me into a rich and poor man.

How did I get by last time...

Oh yes, I had Xu Yang at that time, and I didn't feel difficult at all.

Now I have nothing.

"What are you thinking?" Wen Luming interrupted my thoughts.

I came back to my senses, met his gaze, didn't know what to think, and blurted out, "Do you have anything to ask me? For example, why am I alone in the cemetery?"

In all fairness, I wouldn't just pick people up and bring them back to my home, at best I would just help send them to the hospital, so I don't quite understand what Wen Luming did.

Wen Luming's expression remained the same, he said as if answering but not like answering: "Everyone has a secret, you can tell it or not."

"I..." The words of explanation came to my lips and I felt that it was unnecessary, and finally I said, "I'm causing you trouble."

"No trouble." Wen Luming put away the bowl and spoon, "I bit you before, so just treat it as an apology."

I thought about it slowly, and touched the back of my neck unconsciously. The wound had healed, leaving only a shallow bite mark.

Wen Luming went out and left the bedroom to me.I stared at the wall in a daze until noon, during which Luna called me, and I said that I would take a break and let her handle things by herself, if she couldn't handle it, she would ask Yan Song, don't ask me.

As soon as I finished talking to Luna, Qin Bei called and asked me if I was causing trouble again.

"Your brother issued an imperial decree saying that no one is allowed to care about you. It sounds very serious. Oh, you didn't cheat on your sister-in-law, did you?"

"I don't have a sister-in-law." I sighed, not in the mood to joke, and asked, "That's what Yan Song said?"

"The original words are not so straightforward. What's the matter, are you really kicked out?"

I hummed, "Maybe he thinks... I'm too shameful and unworthy of a name."

"...Hey, it's just angry words, no matter how you say it's your brother." Qin Bei comforted me heartlessly, "Where are you now, I'll pick you up and come to my house for a while."

I smiled wryly, "Aren't you afraid that Yan Song will trouble you?"

"Then I can't leave you alone."

Qin Bei played with me since childhood, and we were friends every time we got into trouble.At this time, I suddenly rejoiced that I was not considered as a person.

But now I am evasive, I don’t want to meet acquaintances, and I don’t want him to know that I ran to the cemetery in the middle of the night to get caught in the rain like a fool and almost got caught, so I said, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”

"Are you home?" Qin Bei asked, "Are you still in that little love's house?"

"No, at my friend's house." I replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I'll find you when I can't survive."

Qin Bei thought for a while, and reluctantly agreed: "All right, call me if you need something."

After I hung up the phone, I felt sticky and greasy, probably because the porridge and medicine I had taken had an effect. The fever subsided and I sweated, so I wanted to take a bath.

Wen Luming didn't know where he was. I walked into the bathroom and saw new towels, toothbrushes, and razors neatly placed on the washstand. Then I looked at myself in the mirror. My lips were pale, my face had lost a lot of weight, and my hair was also thinner. It's a mess, no wonder Wen Luming always frowned when he looked at me just now.

I couldn't stand being so poor, and I didn't care if I had a cold or not, so I took off my clothes and went in to turn on the shower.

The sound of water covered up other sounds, and I didn't hear Wen Luming's third knock on the door.

"Yan Qiao?" He called me outside.

I turned down the water and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I brought you a change of clothes."

"Oh..." I walked over and opened the door a crack, "Thank you..."

Wen Luming handed me the clothes from the outside, and said helplessly, "Come out early after washing, you still haven't recovered from your cold."

"Got it." I took it and was about to turn around when my foot slipped and I staggered accidentally.

Wen Luming had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed my wrist to prevent me from slipping.

The door was half open, and the air coming in from outside made me shiver from the cold. I turned sideways to Wen Luming, and quickly closed the door after taking advantage of my strength to stand firm.

"Thank you, I'll be right out."
