"Cough... When did you wake up?" Ning Xingzhou cleared his throat and asked
calmly.
He was embarrassed, and almost wanted to shut himself up in place. In the wave
just now, he still didn't know what he looked like. The other party wouldn't
treat him as a madman, would he?
Someone on the bed was silent for a while before uttering two words, "Just
now."
Several layers of gauze were tied to his face, leaving only his eyes, mouth,
and nostrils, and his voice was heavy and heavy.
His eyes were fixed on Ning Xingzhou, for a while, he seemed to be aware of
his abruptness, he turned his head awkwardly, and didn't speak any more. I
didn't ask myself why I was here, nor who the other party was, as if to
restrain all curiosity.
Well, it is estimated that the humiliating appearance of myself just now has
been seen. Ning Xingzhou straightened his face and resolutely decided to
pretend that nothing happened.
"How are you feeling? Do you need to call the doctor for you?" he asked.
"No." It's still two short words, and the words are as precious as gold, and
there is no wave in the tone.
The other party's response was indifferent, but Ning Xingzhou didn't feel
embarrassed, and continued to look for topics, "Oh, by the way, how did you
provoke those social gangsters? It's shameless for a group of big men to bully
you, a high school student!"
He sighed with righteous indignation, but the client didn't say a word, and
didn't hold back a word for a long time.
So cold!
Ning Xingzhou propped his chin, his little finger tapped his cheek, and looked
eagerly at the patient on the bed, "Hey, brother, can you give me a response?
It's boring to talk to yourself..."
The person on the bed seemed to be stiff for a moment, and then sneered, his
voice finally wavered a little, "There's nothing to say, I don't know."
After receiving the response, Ning Xingzhou's eyes lit up. The other party was
obviously not interested in talking about this topic, and he didn't continue
to get to the bottom of it. "Then let's not talk about it. You will definitely
not be able to go to school tomorrow on Monday. Do you remember the teacher's
contact information? Can I ask for a leave for you?"
The patient on the bed turned his head, his eyes fixed on Ning Xingzhou, and
he remained silent for a while.
He didn't know this familiar guy, this should be the first time they met.
But... the other party's behavior was too weird, and it didn't seem like a
normal attitude towards a minor injured person who met for the first time.
"What... what's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Ning Xingzhou was
stared awkwardly by the other party, reached out and touched his cheek, and
asked suspiciously.
"Do you know me?" It was a question sentence, but it was said with a certain
meaning.
Ning Xingzhou was stunned, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. As
a stranger who met for the first time, it was too strange to be thinking about
asking people for leave after chatting for a long time without asking the name
of the other party, nor the contact information of the other party's parents!
It's all to blame that the system gave him too much information at once,
causing the two people's information to be unequal, and he would make such a
low-level mistake!
He knew that the other party's name was Lu Yuan, and he also knew that the
other party was an illegitimate child, his mother was deceased, and his father
was not around. Because of this, he didn't even think to ask the other party
these common-sense questions, but instead made the other party see something
wrong.
At this time, if you deny it flatly, you can't justify it.
"Ha...haha, that's right." Ning Xingzhou smiled awkwardly, racking his brains
to think of an excuse, "Actually, I was going to transfer to your school
recently. Many posts about you are familiar. Oh yes, my name is Ning Xingzhou,
I should be an alumnus in the future, please give me more advice."
For making up such a reasonable excuse, Ning Xingzhou couldn't help but give
himself a compliment in his heart.
"Oh." Lu Yuan responded lightly, as if he had been fooled. He hesitated for a
while, and didn't give any number, but stood up vigorously, as if he was about
to get out of bed.
"Ehhh? Don't move! There's still water hanging there!" Ning Xingzhou was
anxious, for fear that he would pull on the wound.
Then he watched helplessly as he pulled the needle out.
It hurts to look at.
"..." Ning Xingzhou's mouth twitched, "No, what are you doing?"
Lu Yuan glanced at him and said as a matter of course, "Let's go home after
being discharged from the hospital."
"...Why are you so hurt and so eager to go home?" Ning Xingzhou was shocked,
"Let's not say anything else, why don't you wait for the gauze to be removed?
To be honest, your face is quite swollen, and improper operation may leave
scars. It affects the appearance very much!"
"It doesn't matter." No one cared anyway.
With that said, he got off the hospital bed, but he didn't see anything
unusual except for a little shaking in his movements.
"Don't, don't, don't get along with yourself." Ning Xingzhou was a little
anxious, trying to think about the possibility that the other party was in a
hurry to go home. In the plot information just learned, Lu Yuan is now alone,
living in a dilapidated and crowded small bungalow, with poor grades, poor
interpersonal relationships, and always fighting.
Ning Xingzhou had a vague guess in his heart.
"You're in a hurry to get out of the hospital, shouldn't you be worried about
the hospital bill? Don't worry, I'll put it on for you." Ning Xingzhou said
cautiously, worried that he would stab the other party in pain.
Lu Yuan's movements were obviously stiff for a moment, "...Thank you, I will
pay back."
Sure enough, Lu Yuan in this period was still a poor little ** who would be
embarrassed by money.
"Hey, if you don't have to pay it back, just be a friend. Besides, if I hadn't
been busy with my own business, you probably wouldn't have come to the
hospital." Ning Xingzhou winked at the other party with a sincere smile in his
eyes. "But since it's here, wait for the wound to recover before leaving.
Anyway, staying for one day and one minute is the same price."
Lu Yuan frowned, the coldness in the bottom of his eyes gradually eased, but
he was still a little tangled and embarrassed.
The other party looked very young, his face was tender, and so was his voice.
But he has to look mature and steady, and he is taking care of him in an
adult's tone inside and outside of his words, which feels too strange.
Saying he's mature is sometimes stupid. After all, mature people don't tell
such lame lies. What about seeing his news from the school forum, their school
doesn't have a forum at all.
Lu Yuan didn't know what the other party was trying to get close to, so he was
on guard.
"Uh... Does it make you feel awkward for me to stay here?" Feeling the other
party's defense, Ning Xingzhou touched the tip of his nose and asked
tentatively, "Why don't you ask a familiar friend to come over to accompany
you, if Remember the number—"
Halfway through his words, he realized what a stupid question he was asking.
It's the middle of the night now, and it's not an emergency.
Lu Yuan glanced at him and said lightly, "I have no friends."
"Eh?" Ning Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his eyebrows and
showed a big smile, "Then you have it now~"
When he laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were crescent moons, and there was a
pair of lovely pear eddies at the corners of his mouth, like the sky at the
beginning of the rain, bright, pure and full of sunshine.
Lu Yuan couldn't tell what he was feeling, and there seemed to be a tinge of
heat in his heart. He thought, even if the other party is approaching him with
ulterior motives, it doesn't seem to matter, anyway, there is nothing to gain
from him.
Today was their first meeting. Lu Yuan's impression of Ning Xingzhou, apart
from his tender face and strange behavior, was one more thing \- a sweet smile.
