Chapter 19 I've Been Enduring For A Long Time
Li Zexi still couldn't go out.
In order to avoid the awkward silence between the two, Li Zexi took out a book from his bag and started reading it as if no one was around.
Before watching, he reached out and lifted the ice pack that was about to slide off Guo Kai's ankle and put it away.
Guo Kai saw this little action clearly.
There was no change in his expression, he just shifted his gaze from the ice pack to Li Zexi.
So he didn't move away.
Li Zexi has buried his head in the book.
Guo Kai glanced at the title of the book.
"Top of the Wave"
What book is this? Guo Kai had never heard of this book title. It sounded like a poem or a romance novel.
He said sarcastically, "A grown man reading such a sissy book, no wonder he doesn't have much masculinity."
Li Zexi looked up from the book and rolled his eyes at Guo Kai. He snorted disdainfully without explaining anything, and then lowered his eyes again.
Guo Kai: “.........”
Seeing that Li Zexi ignored him, Guo Kai felt a little annoyed.
He took out a black flip phone and sent a message to his father's secretary: Uncle Zhang, please help me check what book "Top of the Waves" is. Is it a meaningless romance novel?
The reply from the other end was quick: OK, Xiaokai.
.........
Putting down his phone, he stopped looking at Li Zexi and turned his attention to the school doctor.
The school doctor, wearing a white coat and a mask, was standing in front of a workbench, busy with something. He was picking up and putting down bottles and jars, making tiny clanging sounds.
After watching for a while, Guo Kai found it boring.
Somehow, his gaze turned back and fixed on Li Zexi.
Li Zexi lowered his head and read the book very attentively.
A beam of afterglow shone through the glass window beside the bed and shone onto Li Zexi, making him enveloped in gentle warm colors.
The neck and profile of the face exposed to the air seemed to have golden elves jumping on the skin, dotted like stars, and creating large and small circles of light.
Li Zexi's skin is relatively white, without any impurities, and is almost transparent under the light.
The tiny pores are also clearly visible, just like the fermented bean curd just out of the pot, fresh and smooth.
As Guo Kai watched, he swallowed unconsciously.
Li Zexi seemed to feel the overly straightforward look from the person opposite him.
He looked up at Guo Kai and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Guo Kai quickly turned his gaze away and said coldly, "It's okay."
But his ears turned red for some unknown reason.
Li Zexi felt puzzled, and Guo Kai looked awkward, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Zexi suddenly realized, "Oh, are you in a hurry to pee and want to go to the toilet?"
Guo Kai: “.........”
Li Zexi turned his head to look at the infirmary. It seemed that there was no toilet. He kindly said, "How about you just bear with it for a while? It's almost time for ice compress. Can you go back to the dormitory later?"
Guo Kai looked speechless, frowned and growled, "I don't want to go to the toilet."
Li Zexi: "Ah, I don't want to go to the toilet, so why do you look like you're holding your bladder?"
Hold it...what the hell?
Guo Kai was speechless: "Why are you so vulgar?"
Li Zexi chuckled, didn't say anything back, and buried his eyes in the book again.
The two were silent for a while.
Guo Kai called out, "Li Zexi?"
Li Zexi didn't look up: "Hmm?"
"You, you just left the basketball court, what were you doing?" Guo Kai tried to hold back for a while, but couldn't help but asked the question.
Li Zexi: "What does it have to do with you?"
Guo Kai slapped Li Zexi's book down and said with a stern face: "Just answer my questions, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Li Zexi took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to get angry: "Chen Mengru is not feeling well, I will take her back to the dormitory."
Guo Kai: "That's it? Nothing else?"
Li Zexi gritted his teeth and said word by word: "That's it, nothing else."
Guo Kai: "You seem to be quite interested in her. Do you like her and want to pursue her?"
Li Zexi: "This doesn't bother you, does it?"
"Answer me..."
It may be because he was reborn as a human being, or it may be because the soul of a twenty-six or twenty-seven year old is nested in the shell of a college student.
He has a higher tolerance for the environment, things and people after his rebirth.
Or maybe it was because Guo Kai was a patient and looked pitiful.
Although Li Zexi felt uncomfortable, he still answered Guo Kai's question: "I don't want to pursue her, we are just good friends."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yes....."
Guo Kai seemed satisfied and his expression eased a little.
Then, Li Zexi suddenly felt something was wrong. He rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you asking this? You wouldn't..."
Li Zexi gasped: "You are not, are you attracted to Chen Mengru?"
Guo Kai: “….”
You idiot.
.......
When I came out of the infirmary, it was already dark.
Li Zexi carried Guo Kai on his thin shoulders and moved towards the dormitory step by step.
After applying ice, the bruise on my ankle went down a bit and it didn’t look so scary anymore.
But I still didn’t dare touch the ground.
The doctor prescribed a bunch of medicine and asked Guo Kai to go home and take and apply it on time. He also suggested that if it really didn't work, he could go to the medical equipment store and buy a crutch to support himself for a while.
Guo Kai thought about it and did not accept the proposal.
He just urged Li Zexi to support him and walk quickly.
......
On the way, Li Zexi asked him: "Why don't you buy a cane? Before your leg recovers, you have to go to class, go to the cafeteria, take a shower, go to the toilet, etc. Isn't it inconvenient to have a cane?"
Guo Kai said three words briefly: "No need."
Li Zexi thought about it: That’s right, he has two good friends, Wang Jiaming and Lin Haoxiang, who follow him wherever he goes and will definitely not leave him alone.
It’s a short walk back to the dormitory.
The two walked for a long time.
Mainly for Li Zexi, Guo Kai's weight is really not light, and almost all the weight is on him, which puts a lot of pressure on Li Zexi.
It was so hard to get back to the dormitory.
Those two guys haven't come back yet, it seems the gang fight hasn't been dealt with yet.
Li Zexi helped Guo Kai onto the bed little by little, and put the pillow upright so that he could lean back.
Then he took off his shoes one by one and placed them on the ground, with the toes facing outwards.
Then, he took the thermos to the tea room in the public area to get a pot of boiling water, and came back to pour half a cup into Guo Kai's cup.
"The water is too hot. Let it cool for a while before drinking it. Take the anti-inflammatory medicine at the same time." Li Zexi instructed Guo Kai.
Throughout the whole process, Guo Kai's eyes were following Li Zexi. At this moment, he was surprisingly quiet and answered obediently: "Oh."
It finally calmed down.
Li Zexi let out a long sigh and sat down on the stool.
After resting for a while, Li Zexi stood up again.
It was as if Guo Kai had installed a radar on him. As soon as Li moved, Guo Kai's gaze shot over like a ray: "Where are you going?"
Li Zexi was speechless: "No, why are you staring at me all the time? If you are tired, just close your eyes and take a rest. I'll go out for a while and be back soon."
Guo Kai then asked: "Where are we going?"
Li Zexi: "I'm going to get food and bring you some. I've been busy for a long time and I'm starving."
Guo Kai reluctantly said "oh" and said in a muffled voice: "Then, come back soon."
Li Zexi stood up and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Guo Kai thought for a moment and said, "There is a Hunan food window on the second floor of the cafeteria. Go buy me some fried pork with chili peppers, Mao's braised pork, spicy lettuce, rock sugar lotus seed soup, and two servings of rice."
The more he talked, the darker Li Zexi's face became: "Stop, why do you only pick expensive food and eat so much, are you a pig?
Also, you are injured now and are taking anti-inflammatory drugs. You cannot eat spicy and greasy food. You must avoid it. ”
Guo Kai was scolded, but he was not angry. He said, "I'm not asking you to spend money. Look, my wallet is on the computer desk. You can take as much as you need. Just pay for your own share at the same time."
Li Zexi immediately forced a smile: "Really? Brother Kai, you want to treat me to a meal?"
Guo Kai chuckled: "You are such a loser. How can you be so happy when I treat you to a meal?"
Li Zexi ignored his sarcasm and walked straight to the computer desk, found Guo Kai's wallet, picked it up and opened it.
Wow, there are so many bank cards and such thick hundred-dollar bills, and they are just thrown on the table so carelessly.
No worries about losing it.
You really don't care about money.
......
Li Zexi thought about it, took out a red bill and put it in his pocket.
Then he put the wallet back where it came from.
Li Zexi said to Guo Kai: "Then I'll go to the cafeteria. The food you just mentioned is too oily and spicy. You can't eat it. I will bring you some light meals.
Don't move on your own until I get back. Whatever you want to do, wait until I or your two brothers come back. ”
..........
Guo Kai didn't respond, he hesitated for a few seconds, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, and said to Li Zexi: "Hey, before you go out, help me go to the toilet first, I've been holding it in for a long time."
