The Court Chapter 7

“Cai—— Cai——”

“You’re finally awake——it really scared me to death——” Li Jia De’s voice sounded extremely hoarse. That cool-headed and bright baritone persona on the court cannot be heard anywhere.

Wei Cai looked around. Everything was white. On his body were also ugly patient clothes——like an old-fashioned plot of a stage play, he lost his consciousness due to a high fever. After he regained his consciousness, he was already mysteriously sleeping in the hospital.

“Is it you who brought me to the hospital?” Actually he do not need to ask, he already know the person making a fuss over nothing.

The last memory that Wei Cai have is him having a fever and sleeping with Li Jia De on Friday night.…..But when he wakes up, it is already Sunday afternoon……

Waiting for him to return and then to thank him ——thinking of the chains of events that occurred on Friday, Wei Cai lowered his head feeling a bit embarrassed.

Is this the lunch that guy had today?

A thread of peculiar emotion swept over his heart —— Wei Cai’s family is in a different place. This kind of feeling, when he is sick and there is someone to tend to him, is extremely strange to him.

It seems like he has become to treasure it……

“Doctor, here——” Li Jia De and a doctor wearing white robe appeared at the doorway.

Wei Cai put the thermometer in his mouth. The doctor also started to give him the examination routine. Li Jia De stood at the side while watching.

“Young man ah, don’t count on your good health. Naturally you must also pay attention to it…..” The doctor is probably more than 50 years old. Although his attitude is gentle, he is somewhat long-winded.

Wei Cai’s mouth was stuffed with a thermometer. Being not very convenient to open his mouth, he can only nod.

The old doctor continued to be long-winded: “You see the patient beside you…..”

Pointing his finger at the young man sleeping on the bed beside him, he shook his head, “A young man who’s only 30 years old with a bright future, but already have the late stage of lung cancer……aish, no mention of having a wife, not even his family at his side……”

Shaking his head, the old doctor’s face showed a look of sympathy.

Listening to him, Wei Cai and Li Jia De turned together in surprise—— that sleeping man….except his face was a bit white, they still can see his original distinct handsome profile ——they did not think he was actually a terminally ill patient.

“Doctor, give us a change of ward——” While Wei Cai still had no reaction, Li Jia De said at the side,"Cai…..Wei Cai health is also not good. Sleeping in the same room as him is not that good right? Won’t the disease get spread?”

“…..” Wei Cai’s mouth still had the thermometer and he was unable to speak. Yet his hand quickly grabbed Lee Jia De, stopping him from saying anymore overbearing words out.

The doctor frowned unhappily. He took out the thermometer, looked at the top of the mark without any expression and said to Wei Cai: “38.5 °C, still got a little temperature. I’ll inject another antipyretic1 to you.”

He turned to Li Jia De: “Young Man, have a bit of compassion ——also because there is no other empty bed……It’s okay. It isn’t contagious.”

The doctor left. Wei Cai turned to Li Jia De and said: “How can you say such words? He’s very pitiful.”

“I’m also worried about you…..” His voice was soft. As though he realizes that justice is not on his side.

Li Jia De shook his head, “ I lay on your bed and slept yesterday…… I’ll stay until night then will leave.”

Wei Cai also cannot do anything but to accommodate him.

He busily helped him take the hanging saline bottle2 with one hand and helped him stand up with the other.

“It’s okay to do it myself.” Wei Cai wanted to take the bottle in his hand, yet Li Jia De withdrew and dodged away from him.

Wei Cai knew there will be nothing good continuing to argue with him. He quickly stopped him and said: “Okay okay la——if you want to accompany me then go, hurry up——”

Honestly, being stared at while using the toilet feels very uncomfortable….

Wei Cai knew that if he refused him, Li Jia De will come up with another trick so he only nodded helplessly.

But after a minute, he started to regret it…….

“Aiya….if it’s edible, it’s good enough!” Holding that grotesque shaped apple, Li Jia De wants to put it in Wei Cai’s mouth.

“Don’t——You eat it yourself——” Failing to dissuade him, Wei Cai still took a bite of that apple.

During the wrestling moment, the door suddenly clicked open:

“Ah?” Li Jia De seems surprised and looked at Yang Xin, “He’s also ah?”

The moment the two pair of lips comes into contact, Wei Cai heard Li Jia De uses a serious voice he had never used before and said:

After sending off Li Jia De, Wei Cai just wanted to go back to bed, yet he was stopped by a weak voice: “Sir….Sir…..”

“What happened?”

When one is sick, they are particularly weak…..

Shaking his head, Wei Cai decided to read a book before going to sleep.

Not very long after lying down, he was awakened by waves of heavy groans. He looked at Yang Xin next to his bed ——the color of excruciation pain is splashed on his face. His face was frighteningly pale…..

Wei Cai hurriedly got up and presses the bell, and soon the emergency doctors arrived. Repetitive movement of performing oxygen therapy and repetitive interjection continued for a while ——when the old doctor was leaving, he patted Wei Cai and told him: “These two days, matters concerning him ——you help out a bit and pay more attention…….”

“Ah——” Wei Cai nodded. He is the prosecutor specialized in managing serious crime cases. Those criminals he prosecutes and got a death sentence are not little in number. So he naturally is not afraid of this kind of facing-death matter.

Seeing that he seems to genuinely care about the patient, the old doctor seemed quite pleased. He patted on Wei Cai’s shoulder and left the room with the other doctor.

What kind of mood is he having at this moment…….

Thinking about sickly Yang Xin and also worrying about himself and Li Jia De’s matters, Wei Cai tossed and turned in bed ——

Qiao? It’s his boyfriend ba…..

Silently sighing for him, Wei Cai also felt his heart turns sour.

Wei Cai honestly could not bear it and got out of the bed.

Lightly holding the thin hand in his hand, Wei Cai silently sighed in his heart.

The so-called true love feeling, the most miserable part is that it will not go along with how the other party treats you and change accordingly—— so if you fall in love with a person who treats you well, let it pass.

If you were mistreated by the person you love once, it is bound to be destined with a sad fate…….

The following days, Wei Cai spent his time being taken care by Li Jia De; which he is not used to. Li Jia De will rush to the hospital after getting off work and also help him clean the body and feed him food, making it seems as though Wei Cai’s sickness is very serious, Wei Cai can only tell others that they are cousins to avoid examining looks.

Although he was a bit not willing to admit it, Wei Cai still feels a strange feeling gradually spreading in his heart——

Crying out to let him cherish this encounter ——and every time he comes in contact with Yang Xin casting those envious mixed-with-despair eyes while being in his rarely conscious state, that kind of feeling is especially strong……

People who miss the chance of love, probably feel much more painful than those who had never experienced such feeling.

Yang Xin’s sleep-talking nights continues. All of the content is still that one and only incomplete name ——although Wei Cai, every night, will hold his hand and comfort him, he had never mentioned it to anyone.

After that, Zhao Ling Chen visited again. Yang Xin, this time, is finally a little clear-headed. But after hearing Zhao Ling Chen talking for a while, he again cannot hold out and fell back to slumber.

Before Lao Zhao leave, he secretly pulled Wei Cai outside: “Section Chief Wei, if something happens to Yang Xin…..please inform me…….”

Silent for a moment because of such tragic topic, he added: “It’s also not convenient for me to come often, you know……”

Wei Cai is deeply aware that gossips are really scary. But staying with Yang Xin during this period, he is more concerned about the tragic fate of this youth and quietly said to Zhao Ling Chen: “Do you know where Yang Xin’s colleague is……”

Listening to Wei Cai mentioning this matter, Zhao Ling Chen frowned his eyebrows: “Don’t mention that person ——he’s already married to the daughter of the public security bureau chief, now we don’t know how glorious his life is ……his position is firmly secured……”

“It’s like this ah…..” Wei Cai also got gloomy for this. After a long while, he then said: “Hey, anyway if you have the chance, let him come and see Yang Xin…..”

“Hah——” Lao Zhao’s eyes also turned red. He said: “What do you know….. the position Qiao Wen Hao sitting on now is Yang Xin’s former position……”

Wei Cai was speechless; both of them staring silently at each other for a while…..

“Aish, Director Li also came——I should go already…..” Casually rubbing his eyes, Lao Zhao pointed at Li Jia De walking over here. He said goodbye to Wei Cai.

Li Jia De came over. Looking at Wei Cai standing in the corridor, he was suddenly worried and embraced him: “Aiya——aren’t you afraid of catching cold…..”

He quickly took off his coat and put it onto Wei Cai’s body, also not afraid of others glances.

Wei Cai silently pulled and held the coat while allowing Li Jia De to pull him back to his ward.

Comparison is a really brutal thing——

But……

He feels really glad that he is the lucky one.
