Chapter 6 Chapter 6
As a doctor, I have a much clearer and more detailed understanding of this information than the general public. The current epidemic in Lin City is far more serious and specific than what is being portrayed on TV.
Experts and academicians from relevant fields across the country were invited to Lin City to work together to prevent the epidemic, including Qing City First Hospital.
As far as we know, the pneumonia virus in Lin City is highly contagious and has already had a significant impact on social order. Fortunately, the virus is not very harmful to the human body, and patients can be discharged after standard treatment.
Only Bai He, having just pieced together the fragments of his dream, knew it was all an illusion. The pneumonia virus was different from what they had previously understood. After the initial symptoms of fever and cough subsided, the virus did not disappear, but entered a latent period. In the dream, this was due to an incomplete understanding of the virus. After the symptoms disappeared, the doctors assumed the patients had recovered and released them from the hospital, but unexpectedly, this accelerated the panic throughout society.
After the epidemic fully spread, the prosperous city lost its vitality, the air was filled with the smell of death, and countless people died at home, but no one dared to collect their bodies. The shadow of death was everywhere.
The pneumonia virus can be transmitted not only through blood but also through oral sex. It can be transmitted as long as you are in the same space with the patient.
One person spreads the virus to ten, and ten to a hundred. With the extremely convenient transportation in modern times, the entire country or the world can be invaded by the virus in just a few days.
Xia State's organizational and mobilization capabilities are definitely the strongest in the world. After realizing something was wrong, the entire huge national machinery quickly started to operate, closing cities and roads, and curbing the virus at all costs. Even so, the losses and deaths of the entire country are incalculable.
"The pneumonia virus is highly contagious. As long as one person from Lin City comes to Qing City, there's a risk of infection. Xiaobai, if you're fine recently, don't go out."
Bai He nodded. Regardless of whether his dream was true or false, he felt a strong sense of unease in his heart. When he was free, Bai He also read novels. Novels follow the usual routine, but abnormalities are often accompanied by disasters.
The fact that he had gained a space out of thin air was already an obvious sign.
Given the terrifying speed of the pneumonia virus's spread, he didn't dare to go out casually. Therefore, stockpiling supplies was a very urgent matter. He didn't have to worry about having nowhere to put them, and necessities like rice and grain would not be wasted even if he stockpiled too much.
Bai He was thinking about what to buy, so his reaction to the outside world was relatively slow. When Su Xing pulled him, he obediently followed him to the dining table.
When he came to his senses, the dishes on the table had already been placed, and the bowl in front of him was even filled with hot rice, waiting for him to eat.
Bai and "..."
He looked up at Su Xingye, who was sitting opposite him. Su Xingye's cold black eyes were fixed on him. He picked up a piece of beef for him naturally and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat!"
Bai He hadn't been hungry before. Even after two meals, he hadn't had the slightest desire to eat. But now, the aroma of food that filled his nose was like a piece of gauze wiping away the accumulated dust in his body, awakening his sluggish instincts.
Bai He's eyes lit up as he took a bite of the black pepper beef. The stir-fried beef was tender and flavorful, just how Bai He liked it. He devoured the rice with one chopstick. The meatball soup was even better than the restaurant version. The meatballs were tender and not mushy, and they were topped with carrots and corn, giving it a burst of freshness and sweetness.
…
The meal was plain and homely. Bai He ate two full bowls of rice. After finishing, he leaned back in his chair comfortably, feeling a long-lost sense of satisfaction.
Seeing Bai He put down his bowl, Su Xing also slowly put down his bowl and cleared the table consciously.
No matter how thick-skinned Bai He is, he can't do that. People cooked for him and asked him to wash the dishes. He quickly stood up and said, "I'll clean it up."
Su Xing also heard it and put down the things in his hands without refusing, then sat down again.
After all, Bai He has lived alone for a long time, so he is quite efficient in doing things.
While Bai He was washing dishes, Su Xing also had the opportunity to observe Bai He's home from all angles.
Bai He's home was rich and full of stuff. The shoes in the shoe cabinet at the door showed that Bai He was a homebody. Su Xing was also secretly pleased to find no signs of another person living in the house, suggesting that Bai He had always been single.
Bai He finished washing the dishes in ten minutes. After that, he took a bag of fruit and two cartons of raw milk from the refrigerator and placed them on the coffee table, then turned on the TV.
Because of his illness, Bai He had no close friends in this city. He hadn't properly communicated with anyone in a long time, and his interpersonal skills had deteriorated significantly. At this moment, he was a little unsure how to communicate normally with Su Xingye.
Su Xing, on the other hand, was clearly not the talkative type. Seven years hadn't been a dream; it had carved a deep chasm between them. Fortunately, the television provided a buffer, making the atmosphere much better.
The two of them occasionally chatted about each other's current work and life, just like ordinary friends.
The TV was showing an action movie with an exciting and thrilling plot, but Bai He's eyelids grew heavier as he watched. Finally, his body sank and he fell sideways.
Seeing that Baihe fell asleep, Heidou immediately ran over from his mat and sat next to him.
Bai He's feet were still dangling from the ground, his upper body twisted and pressed against the armrest of the sofa. This position looked awkward, especially after he woke up. Su Xing also wanted to help him straighten his body. Unexpectedly, Hei Dou, who had been so obedient before, saw Bai He, who was almost unconscious, and immediately lowered his body, bared his teeth, and showed an attacking posture towards Su Xing.
No matter how Su Xing tried to appease it, it was useless. It was like a warrior guarding a treasure, and was wary of everything.
…
As expected, Bai He felt very uncomfortable when he woke up again. His waist, shoulders and hands did not feel like his own. They were numb and had lost all feeling.
Bai He groaned like a salted fish, rolled his eyes, and slowly moved his body. At this moment, two hands pressed on his neck.
“It’s so sour and refreshing.”
Bai He suddenly widened his eyes, his whole body tensed up, and he let out a long breath.
This person was very familiar with the body parts. Although the force was a bit too strong, after the initial pain, the soreness in the body disappeared and all the muscles in the body relaxed.
"Thank you!" Bai He thanked with a smile, and at the same time looked up at the clock hanging in the living room. It was already half past two, which meant that he had slept for more than two hours. He didn't expect Su Xing to still be here.
Su Xing also withdrew his hands and placed them neatly on his knees. Their hands were slender and powerful, with distinct joints and veins faintly visible on their fair skin. Bai He's gaze could not help but linger on them. In distant memories, these hands had brushed the dust off his body and tidied his messy desk...
Bai He shook his head violently, throwing the memories back into the depths.
After a good sleep, Bai He looked much more energetic than before. The red bloodshot in his eyes had faded a lot, and his eyes no longer seemed to be half-closed as if he couldn't open them.
Su Xing also stared at him with his cold black eyes and said seriously: "You should get enough rest."
Bai He instinctively wanted to refute, but had to give up and nodded, with a hint of bitterness in his lowered eyes.
The author has something to say:
I'm sorry, dear readers, but the updates of this article are unstable this month because I need to prepare for the exam.
