Chapter 55 Love Moon 055 "Almost...
Her body seemed to be mechanical, and she turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Wei stood in front of her, not knowing what was going on: "What's wrong?"
The scene in front of her seemed to be receding. He Chuyue could no longer hear any sound. The tinnitus and sweating made her almost unable to stand. Thoughts flooded into her mind and she was powerless to resist. Seeing that her steps were unsteady and she was about to fall to the side, Xiao Wei supported her, but she still failed to take another step.
Her arm hit the pillar next to her, and because she was unconscious, her whole weight was on it. For a moment, the piercing pain made her frown. She wanted to see what happened, but her consciousness had already faded and her vision became dim.
"Hatsuyue!"
"......"
It seemed like someone was calling her.
Who is it?
A long and silent darkness permeated, He Chuyue stood in an unknown place, unable to see or touch anything around her. Her body seemed to be restrained by something, and her movements were restricted.
She wanted to call Xiao Zhiyan's name but found that she couldn't speak. After a moment, a white light flashed in front of her eyes, and she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
The woman held her in her arms, murmuring a familiar melody. He Chuyue sang along, and her voice caught the woman's attention. A look of joy flashed across her tearful face, and then she quickly wiped her face and smiled at her.
He Chuyue couldn't hear what was said, but she could feel that the woman was genuinely happy. She still frowned, because the woman's pale face and bruises under her eyes made her look so haggard.
Slowly, the scene in front of my eyes became blurred, followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground and breaking, as well as the ugly curses of the man and the woman. This time, He Chuyue was lying on the bed, curled up in the quilt, and it was also dark.
She wanted to hear the sounds outside clearly, and when she pulled open the quilt, she felt something cold. She was stunned, it was her own tears.
It turned out that she was crying.
Why are you crying?
Before she could figure it out, her eyes flashed again...
The sheets and walls were so white that it made people feel uneasy. The air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. He Chuyue was held by the woman and looked around.
This hug feels different from the first one.
The woman was crying, crying so sadly that the body in her arms also trembled. The emotions were contagious, and He Chuyue's eyes were also filled with tears. Her heart seemed to be torn by something very uncomfortable, making it difficult for her to breathe and her whole body swollen and itchy.
She opened her mouth and breathed deeply, but the more she desired oxygen, the less it became. She was like a drowning person, struggling instinctively in the endless sea, and finally her strength was gone and she disappeared completely...
"Hatsuyue!"
She opened her eyes suddenly, and the remaining pain in her philtrum made her frown.
She met those nervous eyes, distracted, "Zhi Yan?"
"You woke up..."
His voice was so hoarse that the tremor in his tone made her eyelashes tremble.
He Chuyue didn’t know what happened. She just felt that her philtrum was still painful, her body was sticky and she felt very uncomfortable.
She wanted to move, but it pulled her left hand, and the piercing pain made her turn her head and see a bandage.
Is this...her hand?
"this--"
"You fell and dislocated your forearm."
Before she could ask more questions, He Chuyue frowned, and suddenly some forgotten memories appeared in her mind...
Her mother who cried all day long, her grandfather who was in poor health but still took her to the market, the little cat she thought was a gray cat but was actually a yellow one, and... the little boy who gave her the ring in an attempt to reconcile her parents and save the kitten together.
She remembered it all.
In the village where her father threw her out of the car like garbage, there was a grandfather with a kind smile who often bought her mango candies.
That's her grandfather.
After spending half a month together, I learned that my father insisted on going abroad to visit my grandfather who had passed away.
She actually... remembered everything.
How come you just remembered it?
Xiao Zhiyan noticed that she was not in a good state and asked her nervously. She shook her head, and the tears in her eyes poured down and sank into her temples, feeling cold.
"I'm fine." It turned out that her voice was also hoarse.
She wanted to raise her hand to shake Xiao Zhiyan's hand, but she had no strength and could only rub it against his cheek.
"When can we go home?"
The man couldn't bear it and gently wiped away her tears: "I'll be home in a while."
"good."
...
Outside the ward, Xiao Zhiyan and the doctor understood the situation.
"The arm is slightly dislocated and you just need to rest. Because it didn't hit your abdomen, the fetus is healthy. Pregnant women with fever can use physical cooling methods and drink Chinese medicine. These are all minor matters. It's just Miss He's psychology..."
The doctor thought thoughtfully: "Her condition is more like a stress response after a severe injury, a kind of self-protection consciousness of the body's functions is activated. For example, if she comes into contact with something or someone that makes her sad again, this self-protection mode will be activated, and the body will send out signals, such as palpitations, fever, somatization of the disease, missing or incomplete splicing of a certain memory map, etc. I suggest that she needs to be taken to see a psychologist to prescribe the right medicine."
After seeing the doctor off, Xiao Zhiyan stood alone for a while before pushing the door open. He Chuyue's condition is very different from when she just woke up.
"Can I be discharged from the hospital now?" Her eyes sparkled.
He nodded, his black pupils filled with smiles: "What do you want to eat?"
He Chuyue looked up and asked, "Didn't we talk about drinking pork rib soup last night?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhiyan lowered his eyes, concealing his emotions and reaching for his coat. "Then let's go buy some spare ribs first, and then some onions and garlic. Do you want to buy some spinach?"
She knew the previous part, but the spinach… She laughed, “Does Popeye eat spinach?”
He hummed and moved away from her arm, zipping up her jacket for her.
The man leaned over, his tall body bending down to her height, and helped her put on her clothes. He Chuyue sniffed, and the smell of disinfectant entered her nostrils. She frowned and looked out the window, only to find that it was dark outside.
After tying the last scarf, Xiao Zhiyan handed her his hand: "Put it on, let's go."
"Um."
He Chuyue stepped on the ground, her eyes still fixed on the window, "Did I actually sleep from noon to night?"
Xiao Zhiyan froze and looked at her in disbelief.
She was still looking at the black window facing everything in the house, not knowing whether she was saying to him or to herself: "Xiao Wei and I went to find the person involved, and it turned out that person was He Changda. He Changda is an important witness in the infringement case of Mingchan Pharmaceutical. As a relative, I should avoid suspicion."
"Where's Xiao Wei? I remember he helped me up."
"He left after I arrived, and I've already thanked him." Xiao Zhiyan observed her expression and asked tentatively, "What do you remember?"
The person staring at the window finally moved. She looked over and blinked: "I remember everything. Everything, everything I had forgotten."
"and you--"
"I'm fine." Her voice was unnaturally calm. "When I was six, my aunt took me to see a psychiatrist. She said that trauma will gradually fade as the memory becomes complete. My allergic symptoms are also due to the transfer of painful events to the kitten."
Xiao Zhiyan pursed his lips and raised his hand to touch her still hot forehead.
Sensing his worry, He Chuyue smiled and took his hand, scratching his palm, "I'm not confused by the fever, I'm very sober. I didn't expect that He Changda is the key to my recovery. I should have seen him more often. When I was a child, I was too cowardly and tried to lose my memory to protect myself, but now I'm grown up, and those things can't hurt me anymore."
Thinking of something, she was nervous: "Does my aunt know?"
He shook his head.
"That's good. If she knew I fainted, was dislocated, and had a fever, she would definitely be worried again."
"Chu Yue." He called her in a deep voice.
She was held in his arms, wrapped tightly against his collarbone.
"What's wrong?"
He didn't say anything, buried his face in her collar, and sniffed her scent hard. It was a long time before he let go of her and held her hand again.
"Let's go home."
"Um!"
Just as Xiao Zhiyan said, they first bought spare ribs, then spinach, and finally some snacks and fruits that He Chuyue wanted to eat, and then the two of them walked home.
On the way, He Chuyue called Tang Huimin. After confirming that He Changda was the key witness, she took the initiative to expose their relationship and voluntarily withdrew from the project. Tang Huimin knew that she was in the hospital today, and she only asked her to take care of her health and take two days off to recuperate. She agreed to everything else.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Xiao Wei called me.
She turned on the speakerphone on purpose because she was afraid someone would get jealous.
“You’re withdrawing from the patent infringement case?”
The loud volume that caught He Chuyue off guard filled her eardrums. Without waiting for He Chuyue to move, Xiao Zhiyan turned off the speakerphone for her, put her hand to her ear, and then closed the door and took off her coat and scarf.
"Boss Tang just called me and told me, are you feeling unwell or something?"
"No, brother."
He Chuyue interrupted him, licked her bitter lips, and said calmly: "He Changda is my biological father, I should avoid suspicion."
Xiao Zhiyan put the slippers at her feet, waited for her to put them on, and then took her to the bedroom.
I don’t know if there was any conversation on the other end of the phone. He Chuyue replied “OK” and naturally handed the phone to Xiao Zhiyan.
The latter took it and put it in his trouser pocket, then raised his hand to measure her temperature.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
She shook her head.
After covering her with the quilt, Xiao Zhiyan found a thermometer to measure her temperature, which was still 38.2 degrees.
"Take a nap first, and eat when you wake up?"
He Chuyue was actually a little sleepy, but she didn't try to be stubborn and just nodded and lay down.
Latte and Coffee followed their owner as soon as he entered the door. Seeing that his owner was in a bad state, they did not disturb him and just sat quietly by the side.
Xiao Zhiyan wrung out a wet towel and placed it on her forehead, then pressed down the corners of the quilt and started the timer. He called the cat and the dog out and gently closed the bedroom door.
There was no sound in her ears and He Chuyue fell asleep quickly. This time she didn't have any dreams because she was in so much pain.
In the middle of the meal, she seemed to be forced to drink something unpalatable, which choked her to the point of tears coming out. She was then manipulated and wiped all over her body, and the burning discomfort gradually subsided. She did not sleep well until she was wrapped in a warm hug. She subconsciously moved closer and fell into a deep sleep after feeling the familiar heartbeat.
He Chuyue opened her eyes again because she was awakened by hunger. She blinked in the darkness, unable to tell the difference between day and night. Her limbs gradually regained feeling, and her thoughts began to return.
She felt that everything that happened yesterday was too unreal. She was so strong that she had suffered so much in one day.
She subconsciously raised her left hand to test her body temperature, but forgot that it was bandaged, and she gasped in pain.
The person next to me immediately made a noise, sat up, and his face was full of tension.
"First Moon?"
"Xiao...cough cough cough!"
Her throat was choked and she started coughing violently. Something blocked her eyes. The next second, she saw the bedside light turned on and a straw filled with warm water was passed to her lips.
The cracked ground was soothed, and the moisture in the throat made He Chuyue feel a lot more relaxed.
Before she could say anything, a big hand had already touched her forehead, and the hand was visibly relieved when it felt normal.
"Are you relieved?" She seemed like a bystander, and it didn't seem like she was the one with a fever.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
"I'm hungry."
Catching Xiao Zhiyan's slightly stunned expression, she giggled, and the latter's tense face finally showed a smile: "Okay, I'll go get you some."
In a short while, a dish and a soup were placed on the small square table. He Chuyue didn't hesitate and started eating, but asked Xiao Zhiyan to help hold the table.
She didn't know where her appetite came from, but she actually finished it all. Finally, she burped loudly before she remembered to ask Xiao Zhiyan if he had eaten.
A smile appeared on his slightly haggard face, and he took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her lips: "I've eaten."
"I don't believe you." He Chuyue dodged his hand, "Go eat quickly."
"I really ate it." He explained slowly, "You slept for a whole day and night."
“It took so long?”
"Um."
He packed up his things and went back to bed, "Are you still sleepy?"
"What time is it?"
"Before three o'clock." He added, "early morning."
"Then sleep a little longer."
"good."
Xiao Zhiyan lifted the quilt, tucked it in for her, fearing that she would catch a cold, and then lay down.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
She shook her head, not understanding why Xiao Zhiyan asked again.
"As long as it doesn't hurt."
He seemed to be whispering, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.
It was a quiet night, the two of them leaned against each other, feeling each other's breath clearly.
He Chuyue knew he was worried and tried to comfort him: "It's really okay. It won't be like this next time."
"Don't let it happen again." He avoided her left hand and pulled her into his arms, still feeling scared, "This time it almost cost me my life."
"Don't let it happen again..."
Xiao Zhiyan's breath was hot as it fell into her ears. The crying tone in his voice and the coolness on his neck made her look sideways slightly.
Is he crying?
