Chapter 19 Chapter 19 "Break his bones, then beat...
Central Hospital, single room.
The alpha sitting in the accompanying chair looked up at the IV bag. After a few seconds, he leaned forward and placed his warm palm against the other's cold back of the hand.
This strenuous posture was maintained until the patient finished the third bag of medicine. Alpha reached out and pressed the nurse bell at the bedside, quietly waiting for the night shift medical staff to come and remove the needle.
It's Xiaoyu's turn to work the night shift today.
The pure white ward door was gently pushed open, and Xiaoyu, dressed in a nurse's uniform, walked in lightly, putting on gloves smoothly and skillfully.
"Are you done with it?" she asked in a low voice.
"Yes, please remove the needle."
The alpha's voice was obviously sleepy, but he waited until she approached the bed before slowly retracting his right hand, which was acting as a human hot water bottle, and leaning back in the accompanying chair, squinting his eyes as if taking a nap.
...It would take several hours to administer three bags of medicine, and this guy just sat there warming his hands? Before leaning over, Xiaoyu couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "Where did this outstanding male student from the German class come from?"
But it is undeniable that the needle removal action is more gentle and careful than before.
It’s not because the other party gave the hospital too much money or said something overly flattering, but because I was forced to be influenced by it and subconsciously felt that the beta lying on the hospital bed was a very precious type. If I wasn’t careful, he would suddenly open his eyes and say something like "Oh, it hurts, I'm going to wither", and then fade away with the wind.
“…”
That was bullshit, and she knew full well that removing the needle wouldn't hurt at all.
What's more, the person on the bed had his eyes closed and didn't look conscious at all.
Standing up and throwing the needle into the sharps container, Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh: "You two have such a good relationship."
The result was a meaningful chuckle from the alpha.
She completely failed to understand the profound meaning behind the twists and turns.
She took out a medical cotton ball and gently pressed it on the needle hole. Xiaoyu continued, "Okay, press here tightly for five minutes, don't rub it."
Alpha did as he was told.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay." Xiaoyu handed a pure white medical suppression collar box to the alpha and carefully instructed, "The patient's condition is relatively stable now, but it is still recommended that you wear this for the near future and take good protection."
Alpha took it and smiled sincerely, "Okay, thank you."
Xiaoyu also smiled gently: "You're welcome, just ring the nurse bell if you need anything."
Click.
The sound of the lock tongue snapping.
There were only two people left in the single room.
The darkness was so thick that it could completely swallow up the human figure, but it couldn't hinder the alpha's vision at all.
The alpha who had just been rated as having perfect male morality was fiddling with the unopened medical neck collar box with his right hand, his eyes fixed solemnly on the face of the person on the hospital bed, as if he was considering something, yet as if he was thinking nothing at all.
Five minutes later, he stood up and threw the cotton ball into the yellow medical waste bin.
Returning to the bedside, the alpha looked straight down, and the fingertips of his free right hand gently slid across the back of the beta's hand.
The latter never responded at all.
“…”
So the fingertips naturally slid in between the fingers and intertwined their fingers with each other's.
After a while, he suddenly leaned over and pressed his lips on the back of Beta's hand with the needle prick on it.
If there really was an omniscient perspective in the world, one would see something called determination flashing in the alpha's eyes, so that the beautiful M-shaped lips were slightly raised during the kiss, making the expression a mixture of piety and greed.
…
Early in the morning, six o'clock.
A thin layer of sunlight filtered through the windowsill. The person lying on the hospital bed first smelled the unique smell of hospital disinfectant and slowly moved his body as if regaining consciousness.
The room was very quiet. Xie Zhizhi opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing he saw was a low, light yellow bedside table.
There was nothing on the bedside table, but that didn't stop him from feeling that the environment was very unfamiliar. The confusion of having just woken up from a coma made him dazed for a moment, and he subconsciously turned his head in the other direction, trying to find something familiar that would make him feel less lost and "abandoned by the world."
Then he saw someone he knew—
Feng Wen sat sideways in the accompanying chair, his posture relaxed and his expression weary. He didn't know how long he sat like that. When their eyes met, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Thank you, Zhizhi."
Xie Zhizhi was unable to react when he was suddenly called out.
There are so many things that I can't quite process, like why am I in the hospital again, how did I get here, what happened to that idiot Shen Che, and so on, all working backwards along the timeline...
But his thoughts were not as fast as Feng Wen's next words. While he was still dazed, the other party had already whispered the next words into his ears in a calm tone -
"How does it feel? Is it still painful?"
Xie Zhizhi was so concerned about humanitarian issues that he had to put aside the chaotic questions in his mind. He shook his head at first, then felt that something was wrong and nodded: "One more thing."
My body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, especially my neck, where my nerves were trembling and trembling, but compared to the pain that was like a tide that made me dizzy and dizzy last night, this seemed insignificant.
Noticing his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, Xie Zhizhi licked his dry lips and said, "I want to drink some water."
Sure enough, Feng Wen stood up, walked around to the back and took out a cup of water from the cabinet. After pouring water, he walked back to the bed, helped him up, and put the cup directly to his lips.
The movements were so smooth and fluid that Xie Zhizhi had the illusion that it was "natural".
"Open your mouth." Feng Wen said.
“…”
Xie Zhizhi glanced at Feng Wen's expression, opened his mouth obediently, and let the other party tilt the cup slightly to let the warm water flow in.
...Actually, he can drink it himself, but refusing it always seems a bit ungrateful.
Xie Zhizhi is a man who knows what is good for him.
So he drank the water obediently, licked his wet lower lip, watched Feng Wen put the cup back, and said politely:
"Thanks."
Feng Wen didn't even turn his head: "You're welcome, it's my duty."
…What should it be and where should it be?
Looking at the other party's slow movements, Xie Zhizhi always felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird and subtle.
It was so subtle that a hot and scorching pain began to creep up on my skin, but my brain was as smooth as if I had received a wrinkle-removing injection. I had no idea why it was so subtle.
bite--
While he was distracted, Feng Wen reached past him and pressed the nurse's bell at the bedside.
Xie Zhizhi sat on the bed blankly, his eyes following the other person's hand and then moving back again. His expression was confused and bewildered as if the information had failed to load. He was unable to restart successfully until the door of the ward was pushed open.
The medical cart made a rumbling sound as it turned. Xie Zhizhi turned his head to look and saw two nurses coming in.
Xiaoyu and her colleagues on duty fought back their sleepiness and exchanged friendly and doting greetings:
"Good morning, Mr. Feng and Mr. Xie."
Xie Zhizhi tilted his head to look at Feng Wen again, who unexpectedly lowered his eyes gently and replied, "Good morning."
After Nurse Xiaoyu glanced back and forth between him and Feng Wen for the eight hundredth time, seemingly probing but actually overly prescient, Xie Zhizhi finally gave up on loading some information that hadn't left a single ounce of impression on his mind. As the nurse fiddled with his computer, he said dryly, "I'm not going to do that any more."
"Feng Wen, I'm hungry."
above.
The original meaning of this sentence was very simple, but Nurse Xiaoyu laughed and said "I bumped into it".
Xie Zhizhi:?
Feng Wen leaned against the wall and turned his head to ask patiently, "What can he eat now?"
Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Light liquid food is best."
Feng Wen nodded, and stood there watching the nurse take his temperature and then start to measure his blood pressure, calmly and composedly.
Xie Zhizhi really wanted to ask something, but didn't know where to start.
He blinked twice, feeling as if he had fallen into a parallel dimension by fainting. Although the setting was generally correct, the character line had produced a somewhat perverse butterfly effect.
Otherwise, why would he be completely out of the situation, while the other three people were in such a harmonious atmosphere that they understood each other tacitly, making him feel guilty as if he was playing "Who is Undercover" and accidentally drew the undercover card.
So in the end nothing was asked.
After a complicated procedure, Nurse Xiaoyu concluded with a relaxed look that the patient had recovered well and was allowed to stay in the hospital for observation. Then she pushed the cart and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he left behind a puzzling remark: "Oh, you two have such a good relationship, I'm so envious." Without waiting for anyone to respond, he slammed the door shut.
The world was thus forcibly isolated.
If presented in the style of comic storyboards, Xie Zhizhi's face would clearly have written on it the five large, slightly cracked characters "What are you blabbering about?" And naturally, he wouldn't get an answer from anyone, and could only sink deeper and deeper in silence, with no end in sight.
Feng Wen was the first to break this unbearable silence.
The alpha pulled out a white box from somewhere and played with it in his hands as if to kill time, so his eyes naturally focused on it.
My stomach growled in discomfort.
Xie Zhizhi wanted to shamelessly ask, "Are you really not going to buy me food?", but his reasoning forced him to suppress it, and he sat there awkwardly waiting for his fate.
Yes, waiting for the decision.
Feng Wen's fingertips rhythmically tapped the box, making his nerves tense. After a while, those beautiful lips slowly said, "Xie Zhizhi, I have a few questions for you."
Here it comes.
He subconsciously sat up a little straighter and pretended to listen attentively.
"Oh, you asked."
Feng Wen tore off the plastic film of the box and spoke calmly as if he was just chatting about gossip:
"You really want to break off your engagement with Shen Che, right?"
But the content is extremely confusing.
He looked back at those smoky grey eyes in surprise: "Yeah, do you think I'm playing hard to get?"
"No, I just wanted to confirm." Feng Wen smiled: "Then what is your relationship with Zhang Siyi?"
?
In which direction should these issues develop?
Xie Zhizhi pursed his lips inexplicably, but still said cooperatively:
"friend?"
As he spoke, Feng Wen threw the peeled plastic film into the trash can, and his eyes involuntarily drew a parabola in the air.
"What friend? A boyfriend who can call you sweetheart?"
"..." The other person's voice was calm and gentle, but Xie Zhizhi's brain felt numb for a moment as if an electric shock had occurred, and he subconsciously clutched the bed sheet.
"Of course not..."
Then I saw the outer packaging box was also thrown into the trash can.
After unpacking the box, Feng Wen approached the bed again, looked at the bewildered Beta, and said:
"Okay, Xie Zhizhi, one last question. How much do you remember?"
The 1.9-meter-tall alpha staring at someone approaching like this was very oppressive. Xie Zhi unconsciously leaned back a few inches, trying to keep some distance.
"What do you mean?"
Feng Wen patiently added, "Since you called me last night, how much do you remember?"
“…”
I don’t remember anything, Xie Zhizhi said in his heart.
But considering that he had escaped from Shen Gou's clutches and appeared in the hospital unharmed, he knew that telling the truth was definitely not a high EQ answer.
Feng Wen saw Beta blink innocently, picking at the bed sheet and saying tactfully:
"Feng Wen, thank you so much. You're so kind. Can I treat you to a meal some other day?"
She stared at him anxiously, as if waiting for the teacher to give her comments.
Feng Wen laughed but didn't expose it.
"Okay, you're welcome."
Handle with care.
But that doesn't mean the other party can breathe a sigh of relief.
The alpha, who had been standing straight, suddenly bent down abruptly, and the distance between them shrank very quickly. His smoky-gray eyes accurately caught the unexpected tremor in the other's pupils.
Xie Zhizhi maintained his composure and asked haltingly, "What...what are you doing?"
What responded to him was a slight click as the instrument closed.
Feng Wen lowered his eyes to look at him, and the person reflected in his pupils looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.
One hand was placed on his chest warily, with a small red hole on the back of the hand from the needle. He had clearly kissed it at some dark moment, and it had also lingered around his neck, dangling and refusing to let go.
Now I say so bluntly, "Don't come any closer."
He really turned his back on me.
Although he thought so in his heart, Feng Wen still had an impeccable natural and gentle smile on his face. He meaningfully fiddled with the tightly closed restraint collar with his fingertips, as if he was fiddling with some accessories with the subtext of "house-raised and registered".
Xie Zhi subconsciously increased the force of his push and asked with a frown, "What is this?"
Feng Wen retracted his hand, his fingertips brushing the skin of the other person's neck. "Pheromone suppression collar, don't take it off."
It effectively prevents the other party from groping.
"Unless you keep me tied to your belt, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to show up within three minutes every time."
He stood up straight, giving Xie Zhizhi enough breathing space.
"If there's another puppy that's rude and presses on you, sniffs your neck, and makes you smell like dog—"
He paused, then continued calmly.
"I don't want you to be lying helplessly against the wall, tears falling pitifully all over the floor."
——Because it is useless except for making people feel excited and want to take further action.
"Break his bones, then call me."
"I will take full responsibility for you."
