In the quiet ward, Jiang Suchu slowly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the branches of a lush locust tree swaying in the breeze outside the half-opened curtains. There was bright light among the treetops, passing through the glass and spilling into the room.
After sleeping all night, Jiang Suchu's mind was a little confused and he couldn't realize where he was. She slowly turned her head and found a person lying next to the hospital bed.
He was wearing a black jacket, and his short black hair was a little messy from sleep, and hung softly in front of his forehead, covering his beautiful eyebrows. His left hand was bent and pillowed under his head, and a black mechanical watch was worn on his right wrist, lying weakly on the quilt.
Jiang Suchu held his breath and moved his hand slightly under the quilt, feeling a little weight.
On the sofa not far away, Pei Shuo hugged a thin quilt and slept very hard, with his long legs stretched out to the ground.
Jiang Suichu felt his eyes were a little hot, remembering the summer afternoon when he was a child, the scene of the three of them lying on the bamboo bed under the locust tree in the courtyard and taking a nap.
"woke up?"
"are you hungry?"
The low and somewhat lazy voice brought Jiang Suchu's thoughts back.
Jiang Suichu lowered his eyes and met Lu Zhinian's eyes.
He was still lying next to her bed in the same position, looking at her lazily. Jiang Suchu looked at his messy hair and felt it was inexplicably cute.
It felt uncomfortable to lie flat for a long time. She turned sideways to face Lu Zhinian, bowed slightly and looked at him, "A-Nian."
Lu Zhinian's arms were numb after sleeping on his stomach all night. He was just about to get up and take a breath when he heard her voice calling him softly. He was slightly startled and then lay back down calmly.
This seemed to be the first time she called him that.
"Yeah~" He looked at her and responded in a low voice.
Jiang Suichu lay on his side, looked at him and smiled lightly: "I think you look particularly like a cat now."
Lazy cat.
Her tone was soft, and her round almond-shaped eyes looked at him like crescent moons.
Lu Zhinian's eyes were fixed on her face, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth when he saw her smiling. He lazily raised his eyelids, reached into the quilt with his right hand and hooked her fingers.
Jiang Suchu was stunned by his sudden movement, and the corners of his mouth froze when he smiled.
Then, she heard a short, somewhat hoarse meow.
"Meow~"
For a moment, there seemed to be a numbing sensation on her fingertips, which quickly spread throughout her body. However, Lu Zhinian still held her finger and looked at her openly and smiled, the dimple on his right cheek filled with sunshine. Her eyes flickered, unable to escape, and she felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, as if it was on fire.
"Where did the meow come from?" Pei Shuo sat up from the sofa holding the quilt, scratched the head of the chicken coop, and yawned.
Hearing Pei Shuo's voice, Jiang Suchu quickly withdrew his hand as if feeling guilty for some reason. He turned his head and stopped looking at Lu Zhinian.
Seeing that Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian were both awake, Pei Shuo asked again: "I seemed to hear a cat meowing just now, did you two hear it?"
"No... I didn't hear it." She hesitated, her eyes wandering around, not looking at anyone.
"Didn't you hear that, Ah Nian?" Pei Shuo stood up and slapped his sore waist.
Lu Zhinian touched his nose and said a little unnaturally: "You heard wrong. How can there be cats in the hospital?"
Pei Shuo thought about it, how could there be a cat in the hospital.
I must have heard wrongly.
He had a sore back and back after sleeping on the sofa last night. He clasped his hands behind his head and turned around, but he caught a glimpse of Lu Zhinian's ears.
"Why are your ears so red?"
Lu Zhinian just stood up from the chair, paused, glanced at him and said: "Sleep on your stomach, you're pressed."
Pei Shuo snorted, raised his chin and said, "But your right ear is also red."
Lu Zhinian: “…………..”
Jiang Suchu originally turned his head away from looking at him, but when he heard Pei Shuo say this, he turned around and met Lu Zhinian's eyes.
Lu Zhinian coughed a few times unnaturally, and then looked away.
……..
His ears are really, really red!
Pei Shuo glanced at Jiang Suichu again and exclaimed, "Suisui, why are you so red in the face?"
"Do you have a fever again?"
As he spoke, he picked up the forehead thermometer that the nurse had left behind last night and pointed it at Jiang Suchu's forehead with a 'ding' sound.
36.8 degrees Celsius.
Pei Shuo looked at the number on the thermometer and breathed a sigh of relief. He worriedly touched her face with the back of his hand, "You don't have a fever. Why is your face so hot?"
Jiang Suichu:………….
She really wants to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it now! ! !
