Lin Fengqi had finished watering the flowers, but hadn't had time to put down his sleeves. Wen Xia then discovered that he had two Band-Aids on his wrists.
Upon closer inspection, the patterns on the Band-Aids were surprisingly cute, with all kinds of cartoon patterns printed on them, which didn't match his painting style at all.
Lin Fengqi put down his rolled-up sleeves: "It's nothing, I got scratched when I was fixing the water pipes at home."
"Be careful." Ye Shixue said.
Lin Fengqi hummed.
The quality of your things is really too bad, isn't it?
Wen Xia silently complained in his heart.
He stared at the place where Lin Fengqi was injured, and the man suddenly reached out and pulled his sleeves down again. When he raised his eyes to look, the other party looked away and didn't look at him.
There was no expression on Lin Fengqi's face, but Wen Xia inexplicably saw a trace of guilt in his two actions.
Hmm...?
This is very strange.
Wen Xia continued to stare at him with a penetrating look, but as a result, Lin Fengqi didn't look at him again in the next few minutes. Even when their eyes were about to meet, he would obviously evade.
Just like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being discovered by his parents.
When they left the hospital, it was getting dark outside. The two drove in separately, so they would naturally drive back in their own cars. Before they
separated in the parking lot, Wen Xia suddenly asked, "Which water pipe in the house is broken?"
Lin Fengqi was about to leave, but when he asked this, he stopped in his tracks, as if a spring had been stuck in its shell: "...the kitchen one."
"Ah, how did it break, and how badly is it broken?" Wen Xia pretended to be concerned.
"..."
Lin Fengqi was silent for several seconds before he said, "It's been fixed."
Wen Xia said "Oh", stood still and stared at him.
So someone's eyes began to dodge again.
"Lin Fengqi," Wen Xia said as if he had discovered a new continent, "Are you not good at lying?"
But he lied to Ye Shixue quite naturally.
It's really strange.
Lin Fengqi was stunned by his question, and after a long while he replied dryly, "What?"
Wen Xia asked, "How did you get the wound on your hand?"
Lin Fengqi: "Fixed..."
Wen Xia: "Still fixing it?"
Lin Fengqi: "..."
Wen Xia suddenly felt relieved. Good guy, why didn't I realize that Lin Fengqi turned out to be such a bad thing... Why does he feel a little cute?
The next second he came to his senses and cursed himself harshly, "Wen Xia, you are so mean, what does it have to do with you whether he is cute or not?"
Lin Fengqi watched his expression change again and again in a few seconds, feeling a little uneasy. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Xia sighed heavily and became unhappy again: "I'm going to drive, bye."
His voice was a little muffled, and he waved his hand and turned away.
Lin Fengqi watched him walk away, rolled up his sleeves, looked at the Band-Aid on his hand, and looked frustrated and lost.
Why... did he make Wen Xia unhappy again. He always seemed to be doing something that made Wen Xia unhappy.
It has been like this since the past.
Wen Xia didn't pay attention to where Lin Fengqi's car was along the way, and only found out that he was faster than Lin Fengqi when he got home. It was much more convenient after the door lock was changed, and the door opened with a swipe of the fingerprint.
Today, Ah Moo's spirits have recovered almost as usual. After Wen Xia's careful care yesterday, it has become more enthusiastic. It has been following Wen Xia's buttocks since he entered the house.
"Are you still uncomfortable today?" Wen Xia squatted down and stroked its dog head. The big black dog became even more clingy and moved into his arms after being stroked.
Who can resist the coquetry of a furry big dog!
Wen Xia's heart was so soft that he hugged the big black dog and rubbed it and sucked it hard. Ah Moo was in a very good mood. He took the initiative to lie down and turn over his belly, looking at him with a pair of wet dog eyes.
The hair on the dog's belly was soft and warm.
Not sure if it heard the two-legged beast stealing food outside, but soon there was a sound of the door being slammed in Wen Xia's room, and the jealous Wen Da'e was meowing crazily inside.
Wen Xia felt like a firefighter, saving people in one place and then in another. When he returned to the room, the grumpy Wen Da'e turned around and jumped onto his computer desk, hiding behind the computer monitor, with only a big fluffy tail sticking out, wagging irritably.
"Don't be angry, son, I'm just playing with it, and you're Daddy's favorite cat," Wen Xia took a box of frozen food and shook it, "Do you want a snack?"
Wen Da'e was lying on his stomach, looking at him through the gap under the monitor with a pair of deep blue eyes.
Wen Xia opened the box and took out two pieces of frozen milk and held them in his palm to tempt him. After a while, the big pigeon meowed and slowly came out.
Wen Xia was in the room, being affectionate with the cat, and the more they were affectionate, the more strange it felt...
Why hasn't Lin Fengqi come back yet? He and Lin Fengqi should have left the hospital at about the same time. When he came out of the parking lot, he saw Lin Fengqi's car behind him. How come he has been home for so long? Where is Lin Fengqi?
Did something happen on the way?
Wen Xia hesitated for a moment, thinking about how Lin Fengqi had nothing to do with him, and at the same time thinking about if something really happened to him on the way...
who would pay his monthly salary?
Thinking of this, he made a phone call.
After three rings, the phone was answered: "Hello?"
It looked like nothing was wrong. Wen Xia got a reassuring answer, and his ability to speak fluently was as stable as ever: "Oh, I dialed the wrong number."
Lin Fengqi: "..."
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Wen Xia added: "Sorry, I meant to call my friend."
Lin Fengqi: "...No problem."
Just as he was about to hang up, a female voice came from the background: "Are you going to get a rabies vaccine?"
...Huh?
Wen Xia was stunned, and just as he was about to speak, the phone "beeped" and hung up.
Wen Xia: "..."
Wen Xia: "?"
Rabies vaccine? What rabies vaccine? Is the person speaking a nurse or a doctor? Is he speaking to Lin Fengqi?
Right? That should be it?
Wen Xia's little head was filled with big doubts. Lin Fengqi disappeared halfway. Did he go to get a rabies vaccine? Why did he get this? Was he bitten by a dog?
... Wait, bitten?
He suddenly remembered the band-aids in Lin Fengqi's hand. The distance between the two band-aids...
Wen Xia picked up Wen Da'e, opened its mouth, and compared the distance between Da'e's two sharp little canine teeth...
It seemed that they matched.
Wen Xia lifted her lips as if she was going to brush its teeth, but Wen Da'e hated brushing its teeth the most. She twisted and struggled to get out of the two-legged beast's arms, and ran back to hide behind the monitor.
"Did you bite your stepfather?" Wen Xia lay on the table and poked its cat's butt that was exposed. "What if he asks me for compensation later? Will he deduct my salary? Do you think I can get a lighter sentence if I hand you over and turn yourself in?"
"Meow——" The kitten's cry revealed a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
Lin Fengqi didn't come back for a long time, so Wen Xia made her own dinner and ate it. She was washing the dishes when the door opened with two "beep" sounds.
Wen Xia shook the water off his hands and walked out of the kitchen: "Have you finished the injection?"
Ah Moo excitedly twirled around the man's feet. Lin Fengqi was silent for two seconds before answering: "Yeah."
"Wen Daye bit you?"
"..."
"It seems so."
"... Don't blame it." Lin Fengqi said.
Wen Xia: "That won't do. Let's put it one way and the other. My son bit you. It's the father's fault. As a father, I apologize to you."
Lin Fengqi looked at him with a dazed expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wen Xia simply continued, "Although my pigeon doesn't have any disease, it is indeed more reassuring to get it vaccinated. You tell me how much the vaccine costs, and I'll reimburse you. If there is any additional compensation required, such as mental damages... as long as it's reasonable, I'm willing to compensate you. What do you think?"
Lin Fengqi was silent for a while, frowned and said, "No need."
Wen Xia: "Huh?"
"No need for reimbursement, and no need to compensate... for mental damages."
"You're not short of money, so you don't think highly of my expenses, right?"
"...No."
Wen Xia wanted to say, why don't you just deduct it from my salary, so that we don't have to go back and forth to settle the bill.
Lin Fengqi stared at his face and suddenly asked: "Are you... feeling okay now?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Wen Xia blinked in confusion: "I'm fine, why?"
Lin Fengqi didn't say anything, but just stared at him steadily, as if looking for something on his face.
Wen Xia didn't like being looked at like this. Or rather, he was not used to it.
In his memory, the number of times that Lin Fengqi looked at him straight in the eye was very few, and more often he looked at Lin Fengqi and chased him around the campus with a shameless face.
His mood suddenly became not so good.
The mood in the hospital parking lot came up again - in fact, not only in the hospital parking lot, in the past week, when facing Lin Fengqi and things related to him, he felt suddenly irritated and suddenly depressed many times. The three words "Lin Fengqi" were like a switch. Once touched, he became irritable and restless, as if he was trapped in a maze and couldn't find the exit.
This was not a good sign.
Wen Xia suddenly lost the mood to talk and changed his words: "I'm wrong. I'm not in a good mood now. Don't mess with me. You can deduct the cost of the rabies vaccine from my salary. And, I'm sorry. That's all I want to say."
After that, he turned around and locked himself back in the room.
Lin Fengqi stood in the living room, and the word "I'm sorry" stuck in his mouth just disappeared silently in the air.
