In the quiet ward, Zhang Moyan sat beside the bed and browsed the news on her mobile phone. Today, at the Nangong Mountain International Rock Climbing Competition, two 19-year-old Chinese athletes with extremely good looks made it to the finals, making history. The news was a bit of a sensation.
Although there was not a single photo of Xiao Xingyu in all the news reports, Zhang Moyan still read all the related news with great interest, feeling a sense of pride in her heart.
Suddenly, a notification popped up on her phone, saying only 20% battery remained. Reflexively, Zhang Moyan paused her browsing and exited the app, thinking to conserve power. She glanced up casually and saw that Xiao Guotao had woken up at some point, his wrinkled eyes fixed on her. Even though Zhang Moyan was now staring into his eyes, he still hadn't come out of his deep trance.
Being stared at without blinking, Zhang Moyan froze in a daze. She stared at the old man for a long time, and gradually realized that there seemed to be an indescribable sadness in the old man's eyes.
She suddenly remembered that Xiao Guotao once told her that her personality and temperament were very similar to his younger brother who passed away earlier, so she guessed that Xiao Guotao must have missed his brother when he saw her.
"Mr. Xiao, are you awake?" She felt like she was petrified by being stared at like that. Zhang Moyan stood up and approached Xiao Guotao, asking with concern, "Do you want me to help lift the bed up a little?"
Xiao Guotao finally came to his senses, moved, and gave Zhang Moyan a slightly apologetic smile: "Where's Zhou Xia?"
"Uh," Zhang Moyan choked and said, "She went to have dinner. You must be hungry too. Can I ask the nurse to bring your dinner over?"
Xiao Guotao nodded slowly. Zhang Moyan pressed the call button on the bedside to order dinner from the nurses' station. After hanging up the call, she came over to help Xiao Guotao rock the bed.
"Miss Zhang," Xiao Guotao said as the bed board rose slightly, "I'm fine here. If you're busy, you don't have to come here every day."
Zhang Moyan paused for a moment, her eyes falling on the bedside table where she had sent the fruit yesterday, which was still untouched. She couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable alienation.
She knew that Xiao Guotao knew about her relationship with Xiao Xingyu after he woke up, but she didn't know how others told Xiao Guotao about her relationship with Xiao Xingyu. After all, Xiao Xingyu had told everyone a story about a bed partner becoming a regular partner. Zhang Moyan estimated that Xiao Guotao had most likely heard this version.
Anyone of the older generation would have some opinions about her if they woke up and heard such a story, but Xiao Guotao was, after all, a highly qualified national master, and it was impossible for him to criticize others casually, so he showed this kind of polite attitude with a distance.
Just as he was trying to think of a suitable response, the door of the ward was pushed open and Xiao Wa walked in carrying a packed lunch. When he saw Xiao Guotao was awake, he walked over happily: "Hey, old man, you're awake. You slept until sunset. Can you sleep again tonight?"
Xiao Wa really takes after his brother Yu, always calling him "old man". When Xiao Guotao saw Xiao Wa, he pointed at Zhang Moyan and said with a smile: "It would be more convenient to find a boy to take care of me. Come on, Xiao Wa, help me go to the bathroom!"
"Okay, old man, don't move, I'll do it!" Xiao Wa immediately put down his lunch box and hurried over to support Xiao Guotao.
Zhang Moyan stayed in the hospital until the ward closed at 8 o'clock, then came back. She cleaned up the house and put all the roses and chocolates in their proper places. She took a shower, then started fiddling with her phone.
I haven't contacted Xiao Xingyu yet. Yesterday, Xiao Xingyu told her that today was the crucial group semi-finals of the competition and that he would be extremely busy. Plus, now that the Chinese players have achieved good results, there might be a celebration party or something...
But ahhhhhhhhhh, even though I know this, I still want to find him. It has nothing to do with reason. I haven't seen him or heard his voice in just one whole day, but I feel like I'm lovesick. No, I'm addicted to drugs. I desperately need the antidote called Xiao Xingyu to relieve the pain.
When she read social news in the past, she couldn't understand why some women just couldn't live without men. They had no idea how much they had been taken advantage of, how much money they had been cheated out of, and how many stupid things they had done for men. Some of them even had three or four children.
But now she felt that if Xiao Xingyu was determined to deceive her, she might end up losing both her money and her life like those silly women.
I never thought that I, who always thought of myself as pure and unselfish, would one day think about men like this. It was so abnormal. She was not like this before. I could have been free and easy on my own, but why did I suddenly feel that I needed a man to live my life?
It's so terrible that I even started to envy everyone who lives next to him.
How many days until April 20th?
I opened the balcony window, took a few deep breaths of the cool night air, and finally made a video call with the man.
No one answered the phone!
The moment the call was automatically hung up, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and the first thing that came to my mind was the scene of men and women dancing wildly in a KTV box.
So she inevitably made the second call like a suspicious and perverted girlfriend.
It actually rang until it was hung up and no one answered.
I don't know why I felt a little angry at this moment, and I felt like getting to the bottom of it, so I dialed the dial three times without hesitation.
This time, the video was connected halfway through the call, and a handsome man with half his upper body naked and his hair dripping wet appeared on the screen, with a hotel room as the background.
"Mo Yan, I was taking a shower and left my phone outside! I kept hearing your video call, it never stopped. You missed me so much!"
