Before counting to five, Su Yinyin loudly announced a number: "0"
Lu Jingxu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Her house has a combination lock that can be opened with either a key or a combination.
"The password? Can't you hear it?"
After hearing the string of numbers, he tutted his lips and complained: "Why isn't it my birthday?"
"Your birthday? I don't even know when it is. Stop being so sentimental."
This is true. Su Yinyin doesn't remember anyone's birthday at all, except for this birthday that she has set as a password for more than ten years.
It is the birthday of her first favorite anime character, Ace of the Fire Fist in One Piece, and the last 185 is his height.
Because his death was so tragic and heartbreaking, Su Yinyin remembered him for ten years and he was considered her greatest white moonlight.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Jingxu's eyes. He spoke, seemingly mustering up a lot of courage: "Who is this number related to?"
This world doesn't even have the anime called One Piece. Su Yinyin didn't bother to explain and just said, "You don't know it."
"A man?"
Su Yinyin thought his question was strange and simply retorted, "Don't ask if it's none of your business. Now that you know the password, you're satisfied and can get back to work. Don't let your studio issue a statement tomorrow saying that I delayed your work."
Lu Jingxu pondered it over, thinking that at least he had taken the first step. As for who that man was, he would settle the score with Su Yinyin when he came back.
"Then I'm leaving."
The legs took two steps forward and then moved back.
"Hmm..."
Before the last word fell, Su Yinyin felt a cool touch on her lips. Lu Jingxu pressed her against the kitchen table and leaned over to give her a kiss. Unlike the fierce kiss yesterday, today's kiss was much gentler.
Su Yinyin was guided to close her eyes involuntarily, so much so that when it ended, she actually felt a little reluctant.
It was another dangerous thought, and alarm bells rang in Su Yinyin's mind, but her body was too weak to push the person in front of her away.
The corners of her eyes were red, and she looked at him with her watery almond-shaped eyes, feeling a little aggrieved and with some indescribable meaning.
Lu Jingxu was even more nostalgic for the soft touch, but was afraid of making her angry too much, so he could only control his impulse and turned around with a smile on his lips.
"Leave."
──
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Lu Jingxu returned home. Normally, Su Yinyin would not be asleep at this time.
He put the luggage he brought from the hotel in the closet and asked his assistant to bring the toiletries from the house.
I went to the toilet and bathroom in Su Yinyin's house, took off my clothes and was about to take a shower, but I found that I couldn't find the towel I used yesterday.
It was probably put away by Su Yinyin. She should not be asleep at this time. He walked to the door and knocked on her room.
No one responded. Could he have fallen asleep?
Just when Lu Jingxu was about to give up and get a new one, there was a sound of something heavy falling on the wooden floor in the room.
His heart suddenly became nervous, and he pushed open the door abruptly, only to find that only a night light was on in the room, and the glass of water was broken into several pieces on the ground. Su Yinyin was half curled up in the quilt, reaching out to grab the quilt on the ground.
Under the warm light, you can vaguely see a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Lu Jingxu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "Don't move, I'll do it."
He brought in a trash can and some paper, carefully gathered the broken glass on the ground bit by bit, then wrapped it in paper and threw it into the trash can.
After doing all this, he looked up and found that Su Yinyin looked a little unwell, so he hurriedly wiped her forehead with his hand.
"Why are you so hot? Do you have a fever?"
Su Yinyin's speech was also confused because of the fever: "I don't know."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Lu Jingxu took out the thermometer at home. He accidentally saw it when he was rummaging through towels yesterday and still remembered where it was. He returned to Su Yinyin and asked.
"My stomach hurts."
With a beep, the bright red number 37.8 appeared on the display.
"It is." Lu Jingxu whispered.
It should be her old problem of acute gastroenteritis. She had taken two pills before and thought that she would be fine after lying in bed for a while. She didn't expect it to be so severe this time.
Lu Jingxu glanced at the box in the trash can, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice became a little serious: "Eating takeout again."
Seeing that Lu Jingxu looked like he was going to be scolded again, Su Yinyin quickly covered her stomach and pretended to feel pain: "Stop talking, it hurts."
"Put on your clothes and go to the hospital." He took the clothes from the shelf and looked like he was really going to take Su Yinyin to the hospital.
The profession of doctor is like a syringe. Su Yinyin has a natural fear of these two things, not to mention injections and drips. In serious cases, she might even have to undergo a gastrointestinal endoscopy. Just thinking about it makes her feel scared.
He quickly said:
"I'm not going. Just take some medicine."
However, Lu Jingxu didn't let him off so easily: "You don't look like you'll get better now."
Su Yinyin buried her head in the quilt, determined not to go.
Lu Jingxu squatted down and tried to soften his voice: "Really don't want to go?"
Su Yinyin half-poked her face out and shook her head violently.
He sighed, touched Su Yinyin's red cheeks with his cold fingers, took out his cell phone and went outside to make a call.
When he came back, he put a roll of ice towel soaked in water on his forehead, and the discomfort of high fever was temporarily relieved.
"I'm going out to buy some medicine, wait for me."
"Hmm." Su Yinyin hummed from her nose, and then her consciousness became blurry.
All I knew was that after a long time, the door outside was opened. Lu Jingxu stood at the door to cool off before coming in. He fumbled around to figure out how to use the kettle and poured a glass of water for Su Yinyin to swallow her medicine.
"There doesn't seem to be a pharmacy nearby. How did you get there?"
At this time of year, the buses and subways have long since stopped running. If you are lucky, you might be able to catch a taxi.
Lu Jingxu didn't drive his own car over, and Su Yinyin didn't buy a garage in the community.
Su Yinyin's expression became a little dazed because of her illness. She looked at Lu Jingxu's nose which was a little red from the cold and couldn't help asking.
"You still have time to worry about me."
He didn't give a direct answer, but Su Yinyin saw that his fingers were also frozen and turned purple.
The originally fair and slender joints were eroded by wind and frost, which made Su Yinyin feel distressed for some reason.
She reached out and held Lu Jingxu's hand, and Lu Jingxu's whole body stiffened instantly.
