Chapter 137 Fever (1.5 in 1)
Chapter 137 Fever (1.5 in 1)
When Qi Luo woke up again, he blinked, his eyes were blank.
Cold white ceiling lights, pale walls, and snow-white bedding.Plus the faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
This is in the hospital, he is lying on the hospital bed.
Very familiar scene.
He was so familiar with it that he couldn't tell which life this happened in.
With this thought, Qi Luo suddenly panicked.
What if he wears it back again, if this year and a half of high school life is a dream in his hospital bed, if he is still that weak child who needs to wear a ventilator anytime and anywhere... Although this sounds very Ridiculous, but the fact that he can wear books is already ridiculous.
Such thoughts made Qi Luo sit up abruptly, and his heavy clothes were instantly drenched in cold sweat.
He panicked and shouted: "Xu Yi!"
"I'm here." Xu Yi's voice rang in his ears.
The moment the familiar voice sounded, Qi Luo seemed to be drained of all the strength in his body, his heart fell from his throat back to his chest, and he leaned back softly on the hospital bed.
This is still the world in the book, which is great.
Qi Luo looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Xu Yi standing at the head of the bed with peace of mind, looking at him tenderly.
Before he had time to be happy, he found that Xu Yi was standing beside Yang Batian, Wang Ying, Lu Yingcai, the grade leader and others he didn't know, a total of six or seven teachers.
Qi Luo: "..."
The scene was dead silent, and several teachers wrote embarrassment on their faces. In the end, Yang Batian went deeper and said to Qi Luo first: "It's good if you wake up, you have a slight inflammation, which leads to fever and weakness, and you need to be hospitalized." Hang the water overnight."
When Qi Luo heard that he was going to be hospitalized, he couldn't hold back any longer. Even though he knew in his heart that he would not die from this illness, the uneasiness brought about by the feeling of dying engulfed him again.
In front of so many teachers, he tried to remain calm and whispered, "I don't want to be hospitalized."
Yang Batian thought he was afraid of being hospitalized and delaying his studies, so he comforted him: "With your grades, it's fine to take a day off. The most important thing is to take good care of your body, you know?"
Qi Luo bit her lip, her eyelashes trembling slightly.He didn't look at the teacher or Xu Yi, but just looked at the drip needle stuck into the blood vessel on the back of his hand, and the two white tapes, and shook his head stubbornly.
Yang Batian didn't understand what he was still afraid of, so he could only comfort him: "You don't have to worry about the cost, your parents have already paid for it. Although they can't live in Haicheng, they still care about you."
Qi Luo remained silent.
Yang Batian didn't understand what was wrong, Qi Luo had never shown such a stubborn side.Just when the scene became a little stiff, Xu Yi said, "Teacher, let me talk to him later."
"Okay." Yang Batian knew that sometimes children of this age can only rely on their peers to communicate, so he said to the teacher next to him, "Then let's go first."
A teacher from the logistics department followed, who didn't know much about the situation, but seeing Qi Luo's pale and sweaty appearance made him feel distressed.
She took the initiative to apply: "Director Yang, I can stay and take care of this student."
Unexpectedly, Wang Ying, Lu Yingcai and Yang Batian shook their heads quickly at her at the same time.
Yang Batian said: "Let's go, it's not such a big deal, it's so late, go home and rest."
Logistics teacher: "?"
-
The bed next door was unoccupied today. After the teachers left, the ward was empty in no time.
This empty and cold feeling is very similar to the many nights Qi Luo spent in the hospital before.Fortunately, Xu Yi quickly sat beside him.
Xu Yi knew that he was afraid of the hospital, but he didn't know why he was afraid.He patted Qi Luo's head and said, "Good boy, it's okay."
"Something happened." Qi Luo whispered, his nervousness here cannot be soothed by Xu Yi's light words of comfort, "I don't want to be hospitalized, you take me away."
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay, I will take you away after you finish the injection."
"How many needles are left?" Qi Luo asked.
"..." Xu Yi was silent for a while and said, "Including this bottle, there are three bottles left."
A bottle of two hours, that is, six hours, which is actually tantamount to hospitalization.
"I won't fight anymore." Qi Luo said, "I'll leave after finishing this bottle."
"Don't." Xu Yi put his arms around Qi Luo. This gesture made Qi Luo feel a little more at ease, but it was very limited.
"If you don't fight now, if your condition recurs or gets worse, you may still have to come over for an infusion and be hospitalized. Then you will be tortured twice, what do you think?" Xu Yi said.
Qi Luo bit his lip, no matter what, he didn't want to do it again.
"Then you stay with me all the time, don't leave." Qi Luo said.
"Yes." Xu Yi agreed.
So Qi Luo lay on the bed for infusion, and Xu Yi sat beside him the whole time, holding his free hand to accompany him.
Qi Luo took antipyretics, and his body temperature had already dropped, but when the second bottle of water hung halfway through, he slowly started to have a fever again.
Seeing that his face was pale and his lips were dry from burning, Xu Yi said to him, "I'll buy you some water, and you take another antipyretic."
"No." Qi Luo grabbed Xu Yi.
If Xu Yi went to buy water, he would be the only one in the ward, he couldn't stay in the ward by himself, he would go crazy.
"But you need to drink some water." Xu Yi said, "There is a vending machine downstairs, and it will be quick."
"I don't." Qi Luo said tremblingly, "Don't go."
Xu Yi struggled for a long time, and sighed softly: "Can you stand up now? Let's go buy water together."
Qi Luo can accept the proposal of going together, but he just can't let Xu Yi out of his sight.So Xu Yi helped him hold the hanging bottle and supported him with the other hand, and the two of them went down two floors slowly to the vending machine.
The hospital at night is very empty, but it is not lonely. From time to time, the sound of hurried footsteps and even the groans and wailing of patients can be heard.
Qi Luo was very familiar with this kind of atmosphere, which made him feel oppressed and out of breath.
He quickly turned his gaze back to the sky blue vending machine in front of him, and chose two bottles of mineral water.
Back in the ward, after taking antipyretics, Qi Luo began to sweat, feeling drowsy.
What happened together with it was the old nightmare.
Confused, Qi Luo couldn't tell where he was, and the remaining sanity told him that he just had a fever before the college entrance examination, but in his confused thoughts, the memories of his previous life dominated.
The same drowsy and suffocating night, the torment that he didn't know when it would end, or even whether it could end, surrounded him violently like a dark, sticky sea tide.
He could vaguely see Xu Yi, so he held onto Xu Yi tightly, like a drowning man grabbing driftwood.
"I don't want to be hospitalized, take me away." Qi Luo muttered.
"I'll take you away after finishing this bottle of medicine." Xu Yi put his arms around him, and wiped the sweat on his forehead and face with a tissue, "Be good, don't be afraid."
"I won't fight anymore, I'm leaving now." Qi Luo murmured, "I don't want to die...I don't want to die here."
Xu Yi was stunned, held his face in his hands, and gently pressed his forehead against his forehead: "You will not die, you just have a fever, you will be fine tomorrow."
"I'm going to die." Qi Luo's voice trembled violently, he couldn't tell the difference, he was very scared.
Reason is stopping him, emotion is swallowing him.
The second bottle of medicine was finished, and there was still a third bottle left. The nurse came to change the bottle. During the time between changing the medicine, Qi Luo tried hard to suppress his urge to run away. He curled up in Xu Yi's arms, tightly holding on to Xu Yi Clothes, trembling.
The nurse couldn't help asking, "Is the patient afraid of injections?"
Xu Yi shook his head, the nurse didn't ask any more questions, just hung up the third bottle of medicine for him and left.
Xu Yi said that there are only three bottles of medicine tonight.In other words, after finishing the last bottle, you will be relieved.
"Help me speed up the infusion speed." Qi Luo said, "We'll leave after finishing this bottle."
Xu Yi was taken aback, "How to adjust?"
"There is a valve on that line." Qi Luo said, "Dial it."
Xu Yi didn't move: "Is this okay?"
"Yes." Qi Luo said, "The nurse didn't say no to moving, but she can."
In fact, it may not be the case, but he can't control that much, he just wants to leave quickly.
Xu Yi hesitated for a while, but followed Qi Luo's request. He speeded up the infusion speed, but Qi Luo didn't think it was enough, so Xu Yi had no choice but to speed it up again.
At this speed, the medicine in the hanging bottle began to seep down at a speed visible to the naked eye, but this brought new problems.
The speed of the medicine entering the blood vessels was too fast, Qi Luo couldn't bear it, and the back of his hand began to hurt.
It was a throbbing, swollen, sharp, constant pain.
Qi Luo curled up his fingers in pain, but it was useless, the pain was hidden deep under the skin and came from the blood, he was exposed to the pain without any cover, and there was nowhere to escape.
"I'd better transfer it back." Xu Yi noticed Qi Luo's strangeness, "You seem to be suffering."
"No." Qi Luo tried to stop it with a trembling voice, but Xu Yi had already adjusted the infusion speed back to the original.Soon, the pain that went deep into the bone marrow disappeared.
But Qi Luo also collapsed completely when the pain disappeared.
If he wanted to leave quickly, he would have to endure unbearable pain. If he wanted to be pain free, he had to be left here. He didn't know how long he would stay here.
The speed of the infusion bottle was like a joke played by fate. He thought he could walk, but he couldn't accept the price.
In his previous life, he also thought that he could escape the serious illness, and he also struggled before, only then did he realize that struggling is useless.
He is just a tiny grain of sand played by fate's fingers, and he cannot escape at all.
Qi Luo buried his head in Xu Yi's arms, this is what he can feel now, the only warm and real existence that makes him feel warm.Xu Yi's skirt was wet by him, and he didn't know whether it was sweat or tears.
Xu Yi hugged him tightly and stroked his back, "Good boy, it doesn't hurt anymore, it's all right."
"Something happened." Qi Luo was so choked up that he couldn't speak clearly. He was raving, not knowing how much Xu Yi could understand, "I'm going to die, I don't want to die. I don't want to stay here."
"You won't die." Xu Yi said, "You just have a fever. Finish this bottle of medicine and you'll be fine tomorrow."
"I will." Qi Luo said tremblingly.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Yi whispered, kissing his forehead and cheek delicately, "I'm here, I'll be with you, don't be afraid."
"You don't understand." Qi Luo was kissed by him, tears streaming down uncontrollably, "You don't know anything at all."
"Maybe I know." Xu Yi said, holding him tighter.
"You don't know. How could you know." Qi Luo said, "If you knew, you wouldn't like me anymore."
His voice was trembling, he could feel it, but Xu Yi was trembling slightly while holding him, was it because of distress.
Xu Yi didn't bother with him anymore, whether he knew or not, he wiped Qi Luo's sweat and tears, and kissed Qi Luo lightly, as if he understood that his kiss could make Qi Luo feel peaceful.
Between the soft kisses Xu Yi said: "I like you, no matter what you are willing to tell me or what you are not willing to tell me, I like it all, as long as it is your story, I want to hear it."
Qi Luo's heart was soured by Xu Yi's love words, but he wanted to say, that's not the case, you are too naive, if you know that I am not "Qi Luo" at all, you can still say these words .
But he was too exhausted, no matter whether he was mentally or physically, he had completely collapsed.
He didn't have the strength or courage to say these words, so he fell asleep in Xu Yi's arms.
-
When Qi Luo woke up again, the sky was already bright.
The fever has subsided, the bottle has been finished, and the warm sun shines into the window. He has strength now, and the fear of last night has dissipated.
It's just that Xu Yi is not in the ward.
It's good that he's not in the ward, because at this moment Qi Luo has already recalled his collapse yesterday, he said a lot of embarrassing things, and also said a lot... words that can be regarded as self-destructive.He could just sort out his emotions while Xu Yi wasn't here, and if Xu Yi asked, he could also sort out how to explain it.
At this moment, Qi Luo saw that there was a piece of note on the bedside table. It was in a familiar shape. It was Xu Yi's. He picked it up:
- Lolo, I'm going to buy breakfast.Wake up and message me.The weather today is good.
Then I drew a little peach heart at the bottom, which is not a very implicit expression of "I like you".
When Qi Luo saw this note, he couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth. He read the note again, the love words of his sweetheart, he always likes to read it over and over again, every time...
Qi Luo suddenly froze.
Xu Yi's note begins with "Lolo".
Not fall.
Qi Luo's mind was in a mess.
He suddenly remembered that he had written his name as "Qi Luo" in the preliminary examination for the second year of high school.
When the whole class was laughing that day, Xu Yi pushed over a small note with the word "Luo" written on it.
From that day on, Xu Yi always called him Xiaoqi wherever his name needed to be written.
He sat on the hospital bed blankly, starting from this clue, in the blink of an eye, he suddenly recalled a lot.
When he was a volunteer in the welfare home during the summer vacation, Xu Yi came to his house to find him, told him the story of his parents, and told him, "I am willing to tell you everything about me, and I am willing to listen to everything about you."
At that time, Qi Luo felt that Xu Yi just wanted to resolve his relationship with his parents.But what if not?
There is also Bai Yufei who was hospitalized. His behavior in the hospital was very out of character. Normal people would be curious, at least try to find out if there is any historical reason.But Xu Yi didn't ask a word.
Is it because you are not curious, or do you know that he will not tell you if you ask?
Also, last night when he broke down and cried and said "death" again and again, Xu Yi kept gently comforting him.
And the last sentence he said: "I like what you want to tell me and what you don't want to tell me."
Qi Luo felt numbness in his hands and feet, but the numbness was not nervousness, but excitement.
He didn't know which step Xu Yi could think of. The matter of transmigrating books was too unreal, and it was impossible for Xu Yi to guess.
But at least, in Xu Yi's heart, he has always been "Qi Luo", not "Qi Luo".
In fact, Xu Yi had already hinted many times, but Qi Luo couldn't believe it.
Every word and every action of his, including that sticky note, said, you are Qi Luo, I like you.
If this is the case, maybe Xu Yi is really like what he expressly hinted time and time again, no matter what Qi Luo has experienced, he can accept it.
Qi Luo suddenly wanted to see Xu Yi very much, wanted to tell him everything, wanted to share his secrets with him, and wanted to know if there was really someone who knew everything about him.
His heart was beating so fast, he quickly opened the WeChat interface, found Xu Yi, and was about to send a message——
With a "squeak", the door of the ward opened.
Qi Luo looked up, Xu Yi was standing at the door, the young man was bathed in the sun, looking extremely handsome.
"Morning." Xu Yi said.
"...Morning." Qi Luo said.
His heartbeat was so fast that it made his chest tingle.
Xu Yi walked up, glanced at the note paper Qi Luo was holding in his hand, and then looked at his face, with a shallow and warm smile in his eyes.
"Now, are you willing to tell me a story?" Xu Yi asked.
The author has something to say: yesterday's update was 4k3 words, this chapter is 4k5, and another chapter of 4k will be updated tonight, even if the one chapter owed yesterday is completed today's double update.
