Chapter 88

This kind of hypothermic person cannot be placed directly in water. The cold clothes on the body must be taken off first. The room is heated enough to warm him up first. Wait until his limbs are not so cold and stiff before placing him in warm water close to human body temperature. If you put him in hot water directly for quick warming, the person will have cardiac arrest and become cold. Fortunately, Xu Ming was at home. He had treated many people with hypothermia caused by low temperature at the medical station during this period, so he was quite experienced.

Seeing Song Jia's face pale with fear, even though the room was so warm, he was shivering and sweating, Xu Ming comforted him: "It's okay, we found him in time, feel him, his body temperature is recovering, as long as his body temperature can warm up, he will be fine."

Mu Nan and Jian Chu brought over two more buckets of hot water and asked, "Do you need more hot water?"

Xu Ming said, "Not yet. The water won't cool down that quickly. Wait a bit. Don't overheat it all at once."

Mu Nan sat next to Qin Huai, looking at Wu Zheng, whose face was blue and lips were black, and asked, "Was he robbed when he came back alone, and his clothes were taken away?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "I don't know. We will know what happened when he wakes up. Today is a cold front. Even yesterday, the temperature was low, but the wind was not so strong. The clothes he wore were enough to keep him warm and carry him home. Today, the wind and snow are too strong, causing his body temperature to lose quickly, which is why it is so serious."

Mu Nan leaned on Qin Huai: "Fortunately, it's good that the person can be rescued."

Then he looked at Song Jia, whose eyes were red, and said, "Don't worry too much. Your brother will be fine. By the way, Xu Ming, can Wu Zheng eat or drink?"

Xu Ming said: "Sure, make some sugar water for him to drink."

It was not until dawn that Wu Zheng's body temperature slowly recovered, although he had not yet woken up. He changed the water all night, and when his body temperature slowly rose, he had to rub his body to help him recover and warm up. He took his body temperature from time to time, and finally maintained his body temperature. However, he was too cold, and his blood circulation was slow. His hands and feet turned black, which looked a bit scary.

Mu Nan had never seen such severe frostbite. Most of the people he had seen were already frozen to death. Seeing Wu Zheng like this, he asked worriedly, "Will his hands and feet be able to recover in the future?" It looked so serious that it seemed like they had to be amputated.

Xu Ming nodded: "Yes, you can recover slowly, but you can't let it freeze again during this period, you have to take good care of it." After that, he looked at Song Jia: "Do you have enough food at home? Wait until the wind and snow are less, if there is not enough food, we will accompany you to exchange some."

I don't know if it's because when I met Mu Nan, he was still a high school student wearing a high school uniform, and I have already started working to earn money, even though he is now an adult, Xu Ming treats Mu Nan a little like a child. Song Jia is about the same age as Mu Nan, and his situation is very similar to Mu Nan's, both have a brother. Now that his brother is in trouble, Xu Ming instinctively divides Song Jia and Mu Nan into equals, thinking that the other is also a child, so it's inevitable that he will worry more about him.

Song Jia said: "It's enough. I bought a lot of food and stored it at home."

Jian Chu stretched his muscles. He was exhausted after a night of hard work and a full day of work. "His condition has stabilized now. Keep him warm and give him some sugar water and light salt water. We'll go to Building 1 later to see if we can get someone to check on him. He can't go out in the cold anymore. He's freezing so badly that he probably needs some medication."

Xu Ming said, "I have to go to work too. If you have anything, send me a message. I'll see if I can bring some medicine back today."

Mu Nan asked, "I have frostbite ointment at home, can I use it?"

Xu Ming said: "Sure, wipe his hands and feet, it will heal faster."

After giving all the instructions, Mu Nan delivered another batch of frostbite ointment, then took a shower and fell exhausted on the bed. Qin Huai rubbed his arm: "Are you exhausted?"

Mu Nan turned over and said, "Not really. You went out to look for someone, so you must be even more tired. Let's eat something and go to bed. Just sleep for a while, but not too long, or you won't be able to sleep at night."

Qin Huai: "Then just eat something casually. Don't eat too much greasy food, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable. Have a bowl of red bean porridge and some side dishes. If you feel it's not enough, have two more pancakes."

Mu Nan climbed out of bed. Even though he was so sleepy that his eyelids were about to close, he still insisted on finishing his breakfast. Without even waiting for the food to digest, he lay down on the bed.

After Qin Huai got on the bed, Mu Nan arched his back in the quilt until he was next to Qin Huai, and whispered, "I saw Song Jia today, and I felt so sorry for him. What would he do if something happened to his brother?"

Qin Huai knew that Song Jia saw that he was thinking of him, so he spread his hands and let Mu Nan rest his head on his arms: "What else can I do? I will take Niuniu with me."

Mu Nan hummed, thought about it from another perspective, and muttered, "I can't survive."

Qin Huai looked down at him, he knew that Mu Nan was very dependent on him, but was there something else in this dependence? He couldn't live without Mu Nan because of love, he loved the person in his arms, and what about Mu Nan, was there also some love in his dependence that he was not aware of.

Seeing Qin Huai staring at him with an unpredictable look, Mu Nan, feeling a little nervous, looked up at him and asked, "Brother?"

Qin Huai sighed softly and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "I'm here."

Mu Nan buried her face in Qin Huai's chest, rubbed her forehead on his pajamas, and then sat up suddenly: "Brother, you can't do this."

Qin Huai followed him and sat up: "What about me?"

Mu Nan pointed to his forehead and said, "He keeps kissing me."

Qin Huai saw that he didn't show any disgust, so he smiled and asked, "Why not?"

Mu Nan grabbed the hair on his forehead, looking tangled: "It's a bit weird."

Qin Huai continued to ask: "What's strange?"

Mu Nan: "Everything is weird, I feel itchy all over."

Qin Huai said: "According to your idea of ​​drawing comics, what will be the development idea of ​​the next plot?"

Mu Nan said without thinking: "Of course first... first..."

Qin Huai: "What first?"

Mu Nan turned her head away. Of course, they kissed first and then made love. This was so obvious that it would be unfair to the audience if they didn't go to bed. If they didn't get it right, it would just drag out the plot and waste the script, and they would get tomato slammed on them. But, but how can real life be the same as comics?

Qin Huai turned his head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Mu Nan slapped his hand away and hid under the quilt: "I didn't think of anything!"

Qin Huai lifted the quilt and touched his ears that were about to be burned: "Nannan."

Mu Nan pulled the quilt over her face, leaving only a pair of eyes looking at him. Qin Huai said, "Do you hate it if I kiss you?"

Mu Nan shook his head slightly. After being kissed last time, he had a very embarrassing dream. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't face Qin Huai.

Qin Huai pulled down the quilt covering his face little by little: "There is one thing I have wanted to do for a long time, but I am afraid that you will hate me for it."

When the pair of slightly red lips under the quilt gradually emerged, Qin Huai lowered his body little by little, so low that their breathing began to entangle. Mu Nan's instinctive reaction was to close his eyes, and his whole body was as stiff as a piece of wood. He had drawn all the most erotic and charming scenes, but he had only experienced the real thing once, even in his dreams!

Qin Huai couldn't help but smile when he saw his reaction. Mu Nan felt that Qin Huai was smiling, and just as he was about to open his eyes to see if he was teasing him, a pair of slightly cold lips covered him.

Mu Nan's eyes widened instantly. He even forgot to breathe at that moment. His heart was beating in his throat. Qin Huai was so close to him that he could even see the other's eyelashes trembling slightly.

He kissed his brother, and it was his first kiss! Until now, his mind was filled with shock and confusion, without any thought that what they were doing was wrong.

Mu Nan felt a little dizzy, with the world spinning around him. Even until Qin Huai let go of him and tapped his nose to let him breathe, Mu Nan was unable to recover from the dizziness.

Looking at Qin Huai, Mu Nan could hear his own strong heartbeat in his ears. All those reactions that he had imagined in his writing, whether shy, sophisticated, coquettish, or innocent, no longer existed. At this moment, his whole body was stiff except for his numb brain.

Qin Huai said: "How about this, is it annoying?"

Mu Nan stared at him blankly, his head buzzing. He could see Qin Huai and hear him, but his mind seemed to have short-circuited, and he couldn't react to what Qin Huai was saying. Until Qin Huai pressed down on him again, reminded him to breathe, and another long kiss fell on him.

After waking up, Mu Nan felt like he had run a marathon, and his whole body ached as if he had been crushed. Usually, in his BL paintings, this feeling would appear after getting on a bus, but the problem was that he had just kissed Qin Huai and hadn't done anything else. There was indeed a huge gap between fiction and reality. Mu Nan couldn't help but wonder if he would still be alive if he got on a bus.

Realizing that he was awake, Qin Huai turned over and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "Nannan."

Mu Nan suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Qin Huai laughed silently. His Nan Nan's reaction was so adorable, so cute that one wanted to rub it into his bones.

After making sure Mu Nan was awake, Qin Huai pulled him out of bed: "Wash up and eat a little, but not too much, it will be time for dinner soon." He slept from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon, but Qin Huai felt more satisfied and at ease than ever before.

Mu Nan was pulled up by Qin Huai. Instead of staying in bed like usual, he quickly hid in the bathroom. He always felt that he was burning all over when he was in the same space with Qin Huai. Even hiding in the bathroom for a while could help him cool down.

Brushing his teeth at an unprecedentedly slow speed, Mu Nan saw himself smiling in the mirror. He subconsciously touched his face, trying to put on a normal expressionless face, but the muscles on his face were pulling back uncontrollably, so Mu Nan couldn't help but wash his face with cold water to cool it down. But the cold water was only cold for a moment, and it became hot after a while. Mu Nan felt that he was finished, completely abnormal, and he didn't know how to face Qin Huai.

Seeing him tossing and turning in the bathroom for a long time, Qin Huai couldn't help but knock on the door: "Nannan?"

Mu Nan quickly opened the door, said "I'm done", and ran away.

Qin Huai tilted his head to look at him. Mu Nan's reaction was a little unexpected to him, but obviously, it was a good one. Mu Nan did not dislike him, and she even showed the shyness of a young girl who had just fallen in love. This made Qin Huai's uneasy heart calm down a lot. He was afraid of Mu Nan's disgust, and also afraid that Mu Nan would get used to his closeness. He was afraid whether she would be enlightened or not. It really was true that love brings worry and love brings fear.

Now all the veils that obscured his eyes were lifted, and the gloomy and continuous snow outside could not cover up his sunny mood.

They couldn't disrupt their entire time rhythm just because of staying up all night, so after waking up, they ate a roasted sweet potato. Qin Huai didn't like sweet things so he ate an extra corn, while Mu Nan ate a bowl of double skin milk, mainly because he felt a little hot and wanted to eat something cool to cool down.

Qin Huai said: "I will go over to check on Wu Zheng later, you just stay at home."

Mu Nan nodded, and Qin Huai looked at him deliberately and said, "You haven't looked at me since you got up."

Mu Nan munched on a sweet potato while staring at the movie on the wall screen: "What's so good about you? You just have a nose and two eyes."

Qin Huai asked, "How do your sweet potatoes taste? Are they sweet?"

Mu Nan hummed, "It's OK."

Qin Huai said: "Let me try it."

Mu Nan turned his head to look at him strangely. Just when he was about to ask, "Didn't you just eat one?", Qin Huai kissed him and bit his lips lightly.

Mu Nan's face instantly became hot again. It was broad daylight, and they were still kissing. His lips were about to be swollen from kissing!

Qin Huai chuckled and ruffled Mu Nan's hair: "Be good at home, I will be back soon."

As soon as Qin Huai left, Mu Nan buried himself in the quilt. Did he and his brother just switch identities? It was too sudden without even giving them a break. Then, when we go to bed at night, should we…

Mu Nan subconsciously looked at the things in the space, and after realizing what he was doing, he almost exploded. Mu Nan even began to reflect on when he started to have such bad intentions towards his brother, otherwise why did he accept it so naturally all of a sudden? From brother to boyfriend, he felt more shy than awkward, and his face was blushing and his heart was beating uncontrollably.

Wu Zheng's condition was much better today. He woke up and Song Jia fed him half a bowl of hot porridge. However, when Qin Huai went over, Wu Zheng fell asleep again on the ground with a quilt spread on it. There was no bed, so he could only sleep like this. Fortunately, the floor heating was now operating normally, so it was warmer and more comfortable to sleep like this.

Qin Huai looked at him for a while and asked Song Jia, "Did he tell me what happened after he woke up?"

Song Jia shook his head: "I still can't speak, but I shouldn't have been robbed on the road."

Qin Huai immediately understood that this matter might be related to Wu Zheng's biological father.

Song Jia did not hide it and said directly: "My brother's father used to be a pretty good person, and he was the kind who cared about his family. But he worked on a construction site and was too busy. He might not be able to go home once a year. My mother couldn't stand this kind of marriage, so she cheated."

Qin Huai looked at Song Jia, who shrugged and said, "She cheated on my dad. Anyway, they said it was true love. I don't know. They were caught in bed by my brother's dad. I heard that it almost resulted in a death. After that, the man changed. These are what my brother told me. But I also saw that he treated my brother badly. My brother's dad later got married and had a son. He used to love my brother very much, but I don't know if it was because my mom cheated on him that left a thorn in his heart and made him feel that my brother was not his son. Anyway, he started to treat my brother badly after they caught him cheating. My mom wanted to leave with my dad and didn't want my brother. My brother was young at the time, and my mom didn't want him, so he could only... Following his father, before his father got married, my brother suffered from cold violence. After his father got married, he soon had another son. That was a combination of cold violence and hot violence. His father wanted to give all the good things to his youngest son because he thought the youngest son was his biological son. He used the tuition my brother earned from working to buy a game console for his youngest son. He didn't let my brother take the college entrance examination. The day before the exam, he beat my brother so hard that he couldn't get up. His hands were shaking when he held a pen. He just wanted my brother to work directly in a factory. So he stripped my brother's clothes in such a cold day. It was something that a man could do. He didn't care whether my brother lived or died. He even wished he would die to feel at ease. "

The grievances of the previous generation were too complicated. Song Jia could understand them, but he couldn't comprehend whether his own son was the one to experience it and vent his hatred on his own flesh and blood. Wasn't the feelings of the first few years of love no longer feelings? However, his parents were not good people either. What made him slightly better than his brother was that he did not live in a childhood full of cold, hot and violence.

Qin Huai did not stay in Wu Zheng's house for long. He came to see the situation and then went back. There was no other way. Xu Ming had to go to work. Although Jian Chu and Yu Zibai did not sleep all night yesterday, they took a nap in the morning and went to work in the afternoon. Now only he and Mu Nan were at home. He was afraid that Song Jia would be embarrassed to come to him if something happened, so he took the initiative to come and see.

When Qin Huai returned home, he saw Mu Nan eating shrimp chips and reminded him, "Eat less."

Mu Nan hummed and continued, "Otherwise I won't be able to eat later. I know, I'll just eat a little."

When Qin Huai came over, Mu Nan shrank back suddenly, hiding from Qin Huai, and handed over the shrimp chips in his hand: "If you want to taste it, eat it yourself." As for kissing, it's better not to do that. He was still a little uncomfortable with it. He had been single for two lifetimes and suddenly he got rid of it, and it happened at the hands of his brother. It takes time for people to adapt.

Qin Huai pulled him over, and seeing Mu Nan staring at him with her hands covering her mouth, he smiled and said, "Should we talk?"

Seeing that Qin Huai didn't show any beastly behavior, Mu Nan let go of his hand and took back the shrimp chips: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Huai asked, "Who am I to you?"

Mu Nan felt that it would be embarrassing to say that directly, but seeing that Qin Huai asked very seriously, she bit the shrimp chips and said vaguely: "Just, boyfriend?"

Qin Huai laughed when he heard this and praised, "Very good, your understanding is very clear." After that, he stood up.

Mu Nan looked up at him: "Are you done talking now?"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Since we have such a clear understanding, of course we have finished talking. What else do you want to talk about?"

Mu Nan tried to probe: "When did you have that kind of thought about me?"

Qin Huai remembered it clearly: "It should have been when I was a sophomore in college abroad."

Mu Nan looked at him: "Is the time so clear?"

Qin Huai smiled, "Maybe earlier, but when I was clear about what I was thinking, it was my sophomore year. A junior school girl confessed to me at that time, and I said I didn't have time to fall in love. At that time, you had just been admitted to university and studied art. The tuition for studying art is not expensive. I know that the money your uncle and aunt left for you is enough for you to finish college, but there are too many rich people in art schools. If I were with you, I wouldn't worry too much, but when I'm not with you, I always worry that you don't have enough to eat or wear. Although the school is a little simpler and cleaner than society, there are a lot of comparisons inside. I'm afraid that you will be bullied, and that you will be looked down upon for saving money, so I used all my time to make money and save for my future life when I return to China. The junior school girl asked me, when I have time, if I want to fall in love, will I think of her? The first person who popped into my mind at that time was you."

Mu Nan munched on the shrimp chips, then said, "There must be a lot of people who confessed to you, right?"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Yes, there are quite a lot, but when I lost my rich father, there was nothing left."

Mu Nan clicked his tongue twice: "How realistic."

Qin Huai sighed: "In this world, only my Nan Nan will not think that I am rich, nor will she despise me for being poor."

Mu Nan hummed and ate the shrimp chips more vigorously. If he had money, he would spend it. If he had no money, he would raise her. It was no big deal.

After dinner, they cleaned the house inside and out. After the neighbors came back, Qin Huai and Yu Zibai cleared the snow in the yard. Their roof was okay because they had a roof and they could just use a stick to push it up and shake it off. However, the snow on Yu Zibai's roof was very deep, almost as high as the roof wall, so it took some effort to clean it up.

Jian Chu also sighed: "If we had known this would happen, we would have changed the roof. It would only cost ten points."

Mu Nan wrapped himself up like a bear and helped them shovel the snow from the rooftop. "Let's wait until next year. We may not be able to replace the roof this year."

Jian Chu shoveled the snow downstairs and took a breath. "What's this year or next year? I don't even know what time it is now. It's almost August, right?"

Yu Zibai: "Almost. In a blink of an eye, we have lived here for almost two months. The time has passed quite quickly."

Several people spent a long time cleaning upstairs, shoveling all the snow upstairs to the yard on the first floor, and then went downstairs to shovel the snow out of the yard. Soon Song Jia also came out. After all, it was a yard where everyone lived together. His brother was lying down and couldn't get up, so he had to come. As for the girls living in the other building, they had never dealt with them yet. Anyway, they were big men and moved very quickly, so they didn't care too much about such a small matter.

Jian Chu asked Song Jia with concern: "How is your brother?"

Song Jia nodded: "Fortunately, I can eat now."

Jian Chu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "I'm glad you're okay."

The few of them stopped talking. The wind and snow finally stopped for a while, and they had to quickly clean up the yard before the wind and snow got stronger again. After working for an hour or so, they finally piled the snow outside the yard and leveled a path for walking. Then everyone went home.

Mu Nan originally wanted to have a midnight snack. When Qin Huai asked him, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't want to eat today, do you want to eat?"

Qin Huai said, "It's rare that you don't want to eat supper, so I won't eat it either, so as not to tempt you. You must be tired, go wipe yourself and go to bed."

Mu Nan hummed, then went into the bathroom with his change of pajamas. Of course, he couldn't just wipe himself, so he took a hot bath directly and used a scented shower gel. He washed himself warmly and fragrantly and got into bed, waiting anxiously for Qin Huai to finish his bath, then he got into bed and turned off the lights.

In the darkness, Mu Nan thought about those things with a little anticipation and a little resistance. He imagined it in his mind for a long time, but Qin Huai, who was lying next to him, didn't move.

Mu Nan couldn't help but slightly turn his body to the side. Seeing that Qin Huai seemed to be asleep, his expectations were instantly chilled. This was not the direction of his script at all. Mu Nan kicked the air twice in the quilt in a rage. Qin Huai turned over and hugged him: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan turned over and turned his back to him: "Sleep!"

Qin Huai was confused. What happened?
