24 Be good and don't move
◎In the car, he leaned over her◎
A basketball flew from nowhere and hit Song Shixi straight at it. It was so fast that she had no time to react. At the critical moment, a tall figure stood in front of her and easily caught the basketball with his hand. But when he raised his hand, Song Shixi couldn't dodge in time and was pushed to the ground by an elbow.
The ground was covered with all kinds of small stones, which rubbed against his skin, causing Song Shixi to gasp in pain.
For a moment, I didn't know which hurt more now or when I was hit by the ball.
"Shi Xi, are you okay?" Wu Qiuhong exclaimed and immediately helped her up from the ground.
"My back hurts, my hands hurt, and my ankles hurt." Song Shixi felt a burning pain in the parts of her body that were in contact with the ground, and her little face turned extremely pale in a short while.
"I'll carry you to the infirmary." Gao Xunian threw the basketball that caused the trouble to his teammate who came over, then squatted down.
Wu Qiuhong stopped him and said, "Let me carry it. It's not convenient for you as a man."
Although things are much more open these days than before, they are still conservative at heart. There are differences between men and women, and with so many people watching, who knows what rumors might spread.
Gao Xunian also understood this, but looking at Wu Qiuhong, who was a head shorter than him, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you do it?"
"Don't underestimate me. I help my family carry peanuts and corn in my hometown. Those things are much heavier than Shixi's." Seeing that Song Shixi's face was getting uglier and uglier, Wu Qiuhong didn't bother to argue with Gao Xunian. She just squatted down and let Song Shixi lie on him without worry.
Song Shixi didn't care about being pretentious at this time and just lay on her back.
Wu Qiuhong carried her on her back and ran briskly towards the infirmary. Gao Xunian saw that she was really capable and immediately followed her.
The scene seemed a little chaotic because of this incident. Volunteers soon discovered the situation, rushed over, and maintained order in an orderly manner. First, they suspended the game and then notified the teacher.
Because the school was holding a competition, the doctors in the infirmary were on duty all day. As soon as they saw a student carrying someone on his back, they immediately went to greet him.
"Male students, go out and wait."
Gao Xunian stopped and waited at the door of the infirmary, hammering the wall in annoyance. He had thought about meeting her at the Beijing University of Finance and Economics competition, but he didn't expect to meet her again under such circumstances.
The last time they met, she was cold and indifferent, and it was obvious that she had no interest in him in that way. His self-confidence was crushed, and he wanted to think about it carefully before deciding whether to continue pursuing her. In addition, he had to prepare for the basketball tournament, so he was busy training and did not get close to her.
Who would have thought that meeting again would still make my heart beat faster.
After scoring the goal, he saw her standing outside the field almost immediately. She was wearing a white shirt and jeans, with a red volunteer vest on the outside. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung high, looking young and energetic.
Every time we meet, she seems to have a different style, but she is always equally beautiful.
And she was still cheering for him. Who wouldn't be tempted?
So he subconsciously wanted to go over and say hello to her. After sensing danger, he rushed forward immediately, but she was still injured.
Inside, Song Shixi lay on the hospital bed, clutching the sheets tightly with her hands. Her fox eyes were filled with tears, and she pleaded in a sobbing voice, "Doctor, be gentle."
Seeing Song Shixi crying, the doctor couldn't help but soften his tone: "I haven't started yet, don't worry, I will be gentle, but you have a scratch here, it will definitely hurt when I disinfect it, just bear with it."
After saying that, he put a cotton swab soaked in disinfectant on it before Song Shixi could react.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Song Shixi buried her face in the pillow with tears in her eyes.
Wu Qiuhong, who was standing by, looked at the scratches on her back and elbows, and felt so distressed that she couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked, "Shi Xi, are you okay?"
Song Shixi shook her head. She was not feeling well at all. The disinfectant was too irritating when it touched the wound.
"Alright, keep the wound away from water for the next few days. I've checked your foot, and it's not particularly serious. Just be careful not to do strenuous exercise. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Apply it regularly when you get home, and there will basically be no scars."
Knowing that girls of this age all love beauty, the doctor also gave her some kind words of comfort.
"Why don't you rest here for a while before leaving? Is that your friend outside? I let him in."
"Thank you, doctor." Although Song Shixi was still in pain, she still thanked the doctor. The friend she was referring to should be Gao Xunian.
No matter what, he saved her, and the accident that caused her to fall was not intentional, so she didn't blame him.
So Song Shixi asked the doctor to let him in.
"Comrade Song." After a while, Gao Xunian rushed in. Seeing her tear-stained face and smelling the smell of medicine in the air, he was too embarrassed to go forward and just stood at the door, feeling caught in a dilemma.
"Thank you for saving me just now. Come in and sit down."
It was Song Shixi who broke the silence. Gao Xunian then stepped forward cautiously and pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, what did the doctor say?"
Unexpectedly, he would say sorry to himself. Song Shixi was stunned for a moment before he said, "It's just a little scrape, nothing serious."
Now it is not as painful as it was at the beginning and it is still bearable.
Song Shixi thought of something and asked, "Don't you still have a competition? Is it okay?"
"The game is paused. Besides, everything will be fine with my teammates here."
Gao Xunian didn't care about the competition anymore. He just hoped she was okay. He felt relieved when he heard her say that. But he still wanted to do something, so he asked, "Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I'll go to the store and buy you something."
Without waiting for Song Shixi to answer, he looked at Wu Qiuhong again, "Comrade, what about you?"
"Don't bother, I don't want anything. It depends on whether Shixi wants it or not." Wu Qiuhong waved her hand quickly.
"I don't want it either. Stop it." Song Shixi also shook her head. She didn't have any thoughts at the moment. She just wanted to rest for a while, ask for leave from the counselor early, and go home to lie down. The smell of medicine in the infirmary made her stomach uncomfortable.
"How can that be possible? I'd better look and buy some." Gao Xunian was about to run outside when a group of people came in and blocked his way.
The leader was Song Shixi and her classmates' counselor. After coming in, he first asked about her physical condition and asked the player who caused the basketball to fly out of control to come over and apologize. No one expected or wanted such a thing to happen. Seeing that he had a good attitude, Song Shixi didn't say much.
The counselor asked her a few more questions and told her to have a good rest and wait for her family to come and pick her up. She didn't need to participate in any volunteer activities in the future, and the school would also cover her medical and nutrition expenses.
This handling result was quite comprehensive, Song Shixi had no dissatisfaction, but...
Her family came to pick her up?
Just as I thought of this, there was a noise outside.
"Comrade, this is the infirmary and you cannot enter casually."
"I'm Song Shixi's brother. Where is she?"
"This way."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure suddenly pushed open the door and ran in. Because he was running in a hurry, his breathing became rapid and heavy, and his handsome face was full of anxiety and worry. His deep eyes searched the room and finally locked onto her. Then, his frown relaxed a little.
Song Shixi looked at his slightly disheveled appearance and widened her eyes in surprise. She had thought of all the people who would come, but he was the only one she hadn't thought of.
After being surprised, she recalled the last unpleasant parting. A hint of embarrassment and discomfort flashed across her eyes. Her lips moved twice, and she finally called out softly, "Brother."
Hearing this, Qin Yue's various emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for the past few days were mostly released. He took a deep breath and was about to say something, but his eyes accurately caught the only person of the opposite sex standing next to the bed. His brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again, and his face darkened as he asked, "Did you do this?"
Qin Yue's eyes were as sharp as knives, as if there was a wild beast lurking in them, ready to break out of the cage at any time and tear the enemy to pieces. He was oppressive just by standing there, making it impossible to ignore his presence.
Gao Xunian swallowed his saliva and wanted to deny it, but he couldn't open his mouth. After all, if he hadn't bumped into Song Shixi, she wouldn't have fallen.
Just when the atmosphere was quiet, the counselor spoke in time, "Brother Song, you misunderstood. It's not him."
Immediately afterwards, the "culprit" who dropped the basketball came forward to apologize and explained the whole story. Only then did Qin Yue understand what had happened.
Since the parents had arrived, the counselors left first, leaving the space to them.
Soon, most of the people in the ward were gone.
Qin Yue saw Gao Xunian still standing there without moving, and kept asking Song Shixi about her well-being. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being. He fixed his gaze on Song Shixi and opened his thin lips slightly: "How are you now? Does it still hurt?"
His voice was different from the coldness just now. It was extremely gentle, like a spring breeze. Song Shixi was a little flattered. She unconsciously gripped the bed sheet beneath her, leaving invisible scratches on it with her fingertips.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much anymore."
After saying that, Song Shixi looked at Qin Yue's still worried expression and added, "It's not really serious."
"It's already like this, how can you say it's not serious?" Qin Yue was not only not comforted by her words, but also felt that she was showing off. His tone became more urgent, "Let's go to a regular large hospital for another check-up later."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right?" Song Shixi was a little reluctant to go through the trouble again and again.
Seeing her like this, Qin Yue's temples throbbed. He thought she was afraid of spending money, so he gritted his teeth and said, "There's no harm in taking a closer look. If it leaves a scar, you won't have anywhere to cry. Besides, why would I let you pay when I'm here?"
The last sentence is indeed overbearing, but it seems to be true.
Song Shixi's eyelashes trembled, and she felt that what he said made some sense. In the end, she didn't say anything else. It was at this time that she remembered that she forgot to introduce each other, so she said: "Qiuhong, this is my brother, brother, she is my good friend and classmate Wu Qiuhong."
"Hello."
Wu Qiuhong had witnessed the powerful aura Qin Yue displayed when he first entered the ward. In fact, she felt a little scared when facing him, but out of politeness, she quickly stood up and extended her hand.
Seeing this, Song Shixi's eyelids twitched, fearing that Qin Yue would not give her face in public, but fortunately, the big boss did not do anything to spoil the fun. He raised his hand and shook it back, "Hello."
"This is Gao Xunian." Song Shixi didn't know how to introduce the relationship between the two, so he just vaguely introduced their names.
Who knew that this would attract Qin Yue's attention and suspicion? Thinking of the two of them chatting and laughing earlier, his jawline tensed, and a nameless fire ignited in his heart. His inquiring eyes fell on Gao Xunian. He looked him up and down calmly and spoke first: "I misunderstood you just now. I'm sorry."
After the words fell, a smile slowly appeared on his lips. "Our Shixi needs to rest now. She has to go to the hospital later. We can talk next time if there is a chance."
The hidden meaning is that it is a disguised way of driving people away.
Gao Xunian was not a fool. He could understand what Qin Yue meant. Besides, he had feelings for the other person's sister. Naturally, he would not choose to be ignorant at this time and lower his impression in the eyes of her family. He immediately waved his hand, indicating that he did not take what happened just now to heart, and then said that he would continue to participate in the competition later and did not stay for long.
"Comrade Gao, thank you for what you did just now."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Song Shixi hurriedly called him back.
If he hadn't blocked the ball in time and it had hit her in the face, the damage might have been even worse than it is now, and there might have been a risk of disfigurement. It's scary just thinking about it.
"Okay, when you get better, I'll come to your school to find you." Gao Xunian's eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, but when he turned around, he met a pair of angry eyes.
Qin Yue has an extremely aggressive appearance, and now when he has a cold face and doesn't speak, it's a bit creepy.
The smile on Gao Xunian's lips disappeared instantly. He was too happy and dared to say such words in front of the other person's brother. He was simply asking for death. He gritted his teeth in regret, embarrassedly avoided the other person's sight, and quickly slipped out of the door.
"Shixi, I'm leaving too. I won't disturb your rest." Wu Qiuhong said goodbye to Song Shixi very tactfully.
For a moment, Song Shixi and Qin Yue were the only ones left in the ward.
Qin Yue turned around and closed the door of the ward, shutting out all the noisy sounds outside. Then he pulled out the stool next to the bed, took a long step, and sat down leisurely, his eyes staring straight at her, not moving an inch away.
No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere became a little subtle. Beautiful seeds were flying in the air, as if they would take root, sprout, and bloom with gorgeous flowers in the next second.
Of course, Song Shixi noticed his fiery and direct gaze. That was why she nervously clutched the bed sheet again, her knuckles turning white from the exertion, but it did not ease the panic in her heart.
She thought that she should say something, anything would be a hundred times better than this tormenting silence.
So she pursed her lips and finally raised her eyelids to look at him.
"Why are you here?"
"Who is he?"
The two of them spoke at almost the same time, but asked completely different questions, so much so that they both asked questions in a counter-questioning tone.
"What?"
"Um?"
The sunlight poured in through the window, and every ray of light seemed to be tinged with a hot breath.
Qin Yue's gaze subconsciously fell on her lips, which she had just pursed. They were plump and moist, and slightly opened in surprise, revealing some of her pearly teeth.
The fingertips on his knees couldn't help but stroke the fabric of his trousers. It was very soft, and he didn't know which one was better compared to her lips.
Qin Yue realized that he was thinking about something that was not presentable. His Adam's apple rolled twice, and he gathered his thoughts. He replied, "I went home to get something, and I happened to hear Aunt Yang answering the phone, so I came here."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Whether you recognize me or not, I have to come and see you because I'm your brother."
The tone was calm, but upon closer listening, it carried a hint of grievance.
As soon as these words came out, Song Shixi obviously thought of what he said when they separated last time. His eyes became wandering, and a slight blush appeared on his ears. He suddenly felt insecure, and his face turned red and white.
Fortunately, Qin Yue didn't keep dwelling on this point. Instead, he changed the subject and continued to ask the previous question: "How did you two know the man surnamed Gao?"
He just saw that the name on that guy's jersey was Beijing Sports University, which was a million miles away from her school.
Moreover, it was obvious from their behavior that this was not the first time they met.
Thinking of this, Qin Yue's eyes darkened and an irritating jealousy rose in his heart.
Song Shixi didn't know why Qin Yue suddenly asked this, and frowned slightly, but felt that this was not something shameful, so he told the whole story of their acquaintance, and finally said: "I didn't expect that I have such a good relationship with him."
Who knew that just after he finished speaking, Qin Yue would twitch the corners of his lips, clench his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently, and utter two words through gritted teeth: "Fate?"
"Um……"
Song Shixi met his sinister gaze, and the words on the tip of her tongue suddenly changed direction, "It's not that we are destined to be together."
"You're still studying, so you should focus on your studies. That guy has bad intentions, so stay away from him. Don't let him cheat you and help others count their money."
Song Shixi felt uncomfortable hearing his words of admonishment. Moreover, she felt that Gao Xunian was a good person after the few times they met, and he certainly didn't have any connection with "evil intentions". So she couldn't help but retort, "Studying is studying, but I'm an adult now. I know who to make friends with and who I shouldn't. I know it all."
"you……"
Qin Yue was about to retort, but when he remembered that he had said something similar last time, which caused their relationship to reach a freezing point, he swallowed the words back. However, he was still so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
But he didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either. The room was silent.
Qin Yue was almost pissed off and laughed. His face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out of it. However, he was concerned about her injuries, so he finally sighed in compromise and took the initiative to break the silence. "Are you feeling better? Shall we go to the hospital now?"
There was no longer any toughness in his tone, but instead there was a sense of negotiation, and the rising ending tone was even more gentle and patient.
Perhaps because it happened too many times, Song Shixi was somewhat accustomed to the speed at which his expression changed. His eyes flashed, and he paused for two seconds before responding softly.
Hearing her answer, Qin Yue stood up, grasped her arm with his big hand, and pulled her closer to him with a little force, "I'll help you get out of bed."
Song Shixi didn't expect him to come so close suddenly, and subconsciously pushed his hand away, "No, I can do it myself."
A soft palm landed on the back of her hand, and an ambiguous itch spread from the contacted part to every part of her body, making her breath stagnate. Qin Yue looked at her profile so close to him, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Be good, don't move."
"The doctor said you injured your ankle. It's best not to exert too much force or move around."
The hot breath sprayed on the earlobes and the back of the neck. Song Shixi shrank his neck and said, "It's just a walk. I can do it."
The initial piercing pain had passed, and now it was only a slight pain. She did not feel that she had lost her ability to move, and she held Qin Yue's hand even tighter.
He looked at the hand covering the back of his hand, with its veins slightly bulging and full of resistance, feeling a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes, but finally did not force it. He withdrew his hand and went out to call a doctor, asking her to help support Song Shixi to where he parked.
There was a problem when getting in the car. Song Shixi's back and elbows were covered with abrasions of varying sizes. No matter how she sat, it was difficult to avoid contact with the seat during driving. In the end, she had no choice but to lie on the back seat.
After thanking the doctor, Qin Yue walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. Taking advantage of the time to fasten his seatbelt, he secretly glanced back and saw Song Shixi lying on the back seat with his hands under his head and his eyes closed, resting. He didn't show any aggressiveness at all and was incredibly well-behaved.
There was no pillow in the car, so after a long time, she would turn her head and change the pillow, as if she was not very comfortable.
Seeing this, Qin Yue's mind moved slightly. He drove the car around and went to a nearby supermarket.
"Are we there?" Feeling that the car had stopped, Song Shixi raised his head and looked towards the driver's seat.
"No, I'm going to buy something. You wait for me in the car." Qin Yue unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
Song Shixi was the only one left in the car. She closed her eyes again, but felt her mind becoming more and more restless, because the scent of Qin Yue seemed to be all she could smell in her breath. It was fresh and elegant, a bit like the scent of the shower gel she used last time, but also a bit different.
In short, ever since she got on the car, he has been hovering around her domineeringly and constantly getting into her nose.
It smelled pleasant, but it made her uneasy.
Just when she was trying to hold her breath to avoid the invasion of this annoying smell, the door in the direction her head was facing was opened from the outside, and a stronger fragrance wafted in her face, startling her and making her open her eyes suddenly.
"Keep your head up."
A pair of hands supported the back of her head, and then a soft object was stuffed in. Her head instantly raised up, and her eyes met with the person leaning over. At that moment, Song Shixi held her breath, but her heartbeat became faster and faster, constantly hovering on the edge of losing control.
Half of his face was hidden in the dark, with clear black and white, which made his nose look more upright and his facial contours more profound. When he spoke, his thin lips and protruding Adam's apple moved slightly, giving him an indescribable sexiness.
Every time they met, he almost always wore a formal suit. Just now, after getting in the car, he unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, which made him look a little more unruly. From her angle, she could clearly see two delicate collarbones, strong pectoral muscles, and even two faint pink nipples.
"I just bought it and haven't washed it yet. I wrapped it in my coat. You can use it for now."
He continued to speak, his chest rising and falling, making every muscle move more smoothly, which was very charming.
Song Shixi's heartbeat was completely out of control.
