Chapter 46 Chapter 46 What should I do?
The body suddenly lost its autonomy, and slowly rose to the clouds, and was trapped and unable to move for a while.
Until the weather suddenly changed, thunder split the clouds apart, and the whole person fell down, his skin was violently cut by the tree trunk, and then he fell heavily into the thorn bush.
Su Tu raised his head and groaned. Pain spread from his back to every part of his body. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Not far away, he heard the roar of wild beasts and the smell of danger slowly approaching as they stepped on the branches and leaves.
She pursed her lips in despair, and without time to observe or think, she had to quickly stand up and run away desperately, holding her bloody arm.
I don't know how long it took before I fell into the dark and damp forest, panting. I used up my last bit of strength to crawl into the nearby bushes.
He let the shadows cover his entire body, and finally fell asleep exhausted. However, he was worried that the beast would come again, so he frowned and slept uneasily, having many nightmares in his daze...
She dreamed that a few days ago, she hugged someone nervously, and held on until her heart was about to jump out, then she hurriedly grabbed the fish soup and went into the house, then sat at the dining table with her face covered, nervously and secretly guessing what would happen in a while.
I imagined that he would confess his feelings to me soon, and after she agreed, he would take the opportunity to ask her why she gave him such a gift and whether she had had such thoughts about him for a long time.
She even thought of her response: it was a gift, and the clerk was too enthusiastic, so she couldn't handle it.
If he continued, she would pretend to be angry and threaten him that if he continued, she would hang up the phone and take back the gift immediately...
However, an hour passed and nothing happened.
An hour and a half passed and nothing happened.
It wasn't until two hours later that I thought he should have arrived home no matter what, and usually at this time, he would take the initiative to report to me.
Maybe something unexpected happened, she was delayed, or she hadn't opened the gift yet, but she finally couldn't help herself and sent him a message.
Ask him if it has arrived and if he has opened the gift.
The answers were all yes.
But none of the expected situations happened.
She was a little at a loss, and was too embarrassed to say it too directly, so she could only ask him indirectly if he had anything to say to her.
But he asked her to go to bed early.
The person who usually creates opportunities to stick with me even when there are no opportunities, suddenly doesn't want to talk to her when she shows it so obviously and waits happily for him to confirm their relationship.
She could understand that he would be unhappy if he caught her having dinner with her ex-boyfriend.
But hadn't she made her position clear right there at the cashier? She'd explained everything, given the gifts, and thrown herself into his arms, so what else did he want?
I said I wanted to pursue her, but just a few days have passed and he's always been like this, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. It was like this last time when I suddenly sent her back to the studio from the building materials market, and it's the same this time.
He was clearly the one pursuing her, so why was she the one who was feeling uneasy?
She was also a little angry and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore!
I put down my phone and went to bed angrily. I set it to silent mode on purpose, but I would pick it up from time to time to check, and then I would extend the deadline in my mind again and again.
If he realized his mistake now and said sorry to her immediately, she could still forgive him.
If he was willing to send her a message within five minutes...
If within half an hour...
If within an hour...
If you wake up...
I waited until dawn, but still didn't get any news.
She got up in anger and thought very firmly before going out that no matter whether he sent a message to apologize today or suddenly came to the studio again, she really could not forgive him easily.
But before noon, she couldn't help but give him another chance, thinking that scolding him for such behavior after they met would really lose points. If he did this again next time, she would really have to think about whether to be with him or not.
With this idea in mind, she used her power for personal gain and sent another message, asking him if he wanted to look at the materials.
But I never expected that he would refuse.
She remembered that his schedule for today was empty, but she forced herself to ask him if he was busy.
He said yes, but didn't explain what he was busy with.
She finally realized that he might not be unhappy, but was disappointed by the appearance of her ex-boyfriend and didn't want to pursue him anymore.
But he knew she had an ex-boyfriend before, yet he was still so determined, as if he couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard he tried...
She was filled with shock and could not bear the disparity between the past and the present.
There was a moment when she even wanted to chase him and explain once again that he was the only one she liked. She wanted to ask him if he could not mind. She wanted to urge him to be with her right now, even if it was her who confessed.
After I realized what was happening, I felt anxious and angry.
I was anxious about how the situation suddenly turned out like this, and I was angry about how I could become so humble even though someone had a crush on me.
I had a nightmare in the middle of the night and woke up with blurry eyes. I wanted to call him and ask him clearly whether he still wanted to pursue me.
If you want, you must never hide from me like this again. If you don't want...
Thinking of this, I realized that I had already lost the bargaining chip.
I'm not going to pursue you, but she still asks why. How ridiculous.
She sat with her knees hugged until dawn and finally calmed herself down.
It’s okay, she was alone before he showed up anyway.
Although there will be some pain in the withdrawal process after getting used to him, as long as she is firm and can get through it, she will not have to go through this again and again.
She finally made up her mind and confirmed with him one last time whether he wanted to go to the movies or come to see me.
He said next time.
Then she understood.
Tidy up your mood and manage your thoughts well.
Never dwell on this matter again.
But only two days had passed, and I had just managed to calm myself down.
He's here again.
She didn't want to repeat the same mistake, didn't want to find it increasingly difficult to control her emotions in the future, was afraid that she would waver, afraid that she would still be unable to help but nod, so she cruelly returned the gift and said very decisive words to block her retreat.
He returned to his former steadfast self, and no matter how hard I tried to chase him away...
A cold gust of wind passed by, blowing the thin figure in the bushes.
She shuddered all over, huddled herself tighter, and the scene in her mind flashed, and she saw herself long ago again.
She lives in a very nice house and has a whole graffiti wall of her own. Her parents said that when she finishes painting the wall, they will come back and stay with her forever.
She stepped on the children's stairs and drew higher and higher, but she could never reach the highest part, so her home disappeared, and her parents also disappeared.
She was sent to a shabby and damp courtyard where there lived an old lady with a strange temper. It took her a long time to adapt and she finally got used to living there. She became dependent on the old lady and even didn't want to leave every time she came back.
Grandma said that she should work less overtime and move back home to live with me. She agreed, thinking that if she worked hard on a few big projects first, she would have more say after being promoted. But maybe the pace was too slow and grandma couldn't wait any longer.
So home is gone again, and grandma will never come back.
This time no one came to pick her up. She had nowhere to go and was forced to drift to a deserted island. During the day, she worked diligently to grow food and collect materials to build a house that could shelter her from the wind and rain. When it got dark, she had to hide in the depths of the jungle to avoid being taken away by passing wild beasts.
She was envious of the people coming and going on the other side, talking and laughing, and wanted to join them, but she didn't dare to do so and she didn't have the tools to cross the sea.
Until one day, a gentle and elegant man came to the island, told her a lot about the outside world, and asked her if she wanted to go out with him to see it.
She was very curious and intrigued, so she went with him, but she found that everything around her was different from what he said. She asked him why, but was severely scolded.
She started to feel a little scared, and after holding it in for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to ask him if she could go back. He agreed, but when he turned around, he stabbed her in a very inconspicuous place and no one noticed.
So on the way back, the people behind her were laughing at her, saying her walking posture was so weird. Even that person didn't want to play with her, so we didn't want to play with her either.
She endured the pain and limped back to the island, locked herself in a half-built house, and made up her mind never to go out again.
After that, no matter who came to the island again, or whether they tempted her with words or offered her food, she never wavered.
But perhaps because time had passed, she began to feel a little lonely and began to forget the specific pain when she was stabbed. At this time, another man came to the island and said that he had observed her for a long time on the other side of the river and liked her very much. He even built a very luxurious castle for her there and wanted to invite her to live with him.
He was sincere and patient. Even though her posture was strange and she walked slowly, he didn't show any disgust or impatience. So she was moved and followed him again.
Along the way, he treated her very well, taking her to eat delicious food and giving her exquisite or expensive gifts.
She was very happy and gradually fell in love with him. She thought that her life would be like this from now on. She finally plucked up the courage to tell him that she was willing to live here with him. However, the moment she stepped into the castle, she was unexpectedly locked up inside.
The castle hadn't been repaired yet, there was no electricity inside, and there was endless emptiness and darkness all around.
She trembled, turned around and shouted his name, cried and said she was scared, and begged him to come out quickly, but the only response she got was her own echo and the cold wind.
She curled up in a corner, praying that he would come back at dawn. Even if he didn't, she still endured the fear and waited in the castle for three whole days because she hoped he would come back.
It wasn't until the dawn of the fourth day, when I was sure he really wasn't coming back, that I finally climbed up the window, trembling, and jumped out. I ran towards the coastline in fear and panic, trying to get back to my cabin before dark, repeating to myself, "Don't look back, don't look back..."
Finally, he landed in a mess and closed the door exhaustedly.
But before he could catch his breath, there was another knock on the door.
Her hair stood on end and her whole body tensed up as she heard the man who had disappeared for a few days whispering and coaxing her outside, saying that he had not meant it last time and would definitely not do it again next time, and asked her to trust him again, just this once.
She covered her ears and held her breath, trying to pretend that she didn't hear it, and she didn't dare let him find out that she was at home, but the voice was always there, guarding the door and refusing to leave.
Seven or eight times a day, it kept ringing in my ears: Be obedient, open the door, open the door quickly...
She was so terrified that she was shaking even in her dreams. Finally, she was awakened by such a terrifying call. When she suddenly opened her eyes, what she saw was the face that had suddenly enlarged.
The back of his hand touched the corner of her eye, and the wiping touch was subtle and specific.
Her pupils dilated, and even her eyes trembled. She subconsciously turned her head away and suddenly shrank her face into the edge of the quilt.
Shi Shu's movements paused, and after sensing the concrete fear on her face, his whole body suddenly froze. The tears on the back of his hand were corroded by the cold air, which felt biting and caused his fingertips to tremble.
She was afraid of him...
Su Tu sniffed and found that his breathing was not normal. When he turned over, he felt weak and achy as if his body was falling apart.
Her brain and limbs were somewhat out of control, and the aftereffects of the nightmare were still lingering. Her eyes were empty as she stared straight at the partition curtain in front of her, not thinking about where she was.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
The silence stretched on for a while before a low voice came from behind: "You passed out from hypoglycemia. Your car crashed on the side of the road and has been sent for repairs."
"I hit my head, and I had several bumps on my body. I also have a severe cold. I'll have a few more tests tomorrow, Monday, and observe if everything is fine before I'm discharged."
Su Tu listened quietly, but his brain seemed to be frozen, and it was a little difficult to digest this information. After a long while, he pulled the quilt up a little, tried to speak twice, and finally said: "I understand."
"Thank you, you can go back now."
The thin figure on the bed was curled up, looking defensive, making people feel that if they reached out and touched it, they would immediately shrink and hide on the edge of the bed.
Shi Shu's hand was suspended in the air, wanting to help her straighten the corner of the quilt, but in the end, it dropped down dejectedly.
No one spoke anymore.
One of them was sitting and the other was lying, both of them seemed to be frozen, even their pupils did not show any movement.
Until Su Tu lay on his side for too long, his body moved stiffly in the quilt, but he still insisted on his original position and refused to turn over or lie flat.
Shi Shucai stood up, propping himself up on his knees. Afraid that she wouldn't notice, he deliberately said, "I'll be out for a while."
The footsteps sounded and disappeared, and Su Tu finally turned over like a dead fish, lying flat on his back and staring at the white ceiling, blinking from time to time. His mind gradually calmed down and became empty.
I don’t have any thoughts, nor do I want to have any thoughts. I just sit there quietly and blankly.
When it was almost dark, Shi Shu came back with toiletries and dinner. He then set up the simple table on the bed, opened the lunch box, unpacked the chopsticks and spoon, and looked down at the person who had buried his face in the quilt: "It's time to eat."
Su Tu did not struggle. He took a deep breath silently in the quilt, then sat up with his arms supported.
She was indeed hungry and her body needed supplies to regain her strength, but she still looked at the price list first, then found her phone and transferred it to him, looking up to indicate that he had to pay first before she would eat.
Shi Shu didn't beat around the bush. Ever since she woke up, his expression had been somewhat indifferent. Now he looked very businesslike and directly clicked to pay.
He took her coat from the end of the bed and handed it to her, indicating that she should put it on herself: "Put it on before eating."
Su Tu did as he was told, putting his arms into his sleeves, revealing half of his right hand, and lowered his head to eat while tucking his hair into a bun.
Shi Shuze sat quietly by the side, and after she finished eating, he cleaned up the lunch box, poured her a cup of warm water, took out the pills, and placed them in front of her. She then understood and ate them.
All behaviors suddenly became so harmonious that they were like guests treating each other with respect.
No one was too lazy to say another word.
After washing up and returning to bed, Su Tu saw him sitting down beside her again, and finally spoke: "Aren't you leaving?"
The accompanying bed here is so small that it can't accommodate his body at all.
Shi Shu raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you have anyone else who can accompany you?"
“…”
He looked indifferent and his tone was questioning.
Su Tu listened and couldn't tell for a moment whether it was a sarcasm or a challenge: You don't even have anyone to accompany me, and you dare to chase me away?
She choked for a moment, guessing that he was unlikely to leave. She was too lazy to waste any more words, so she pulled the quilt over with a stern face and lay down with her back to him.
I was a little bit determined in my heart, but it was soon overcome by fatigue.
She had been sleep deprived for a long time, and all the accumulated fatigue had taken its toll on her after she caught a cold. The medicine she took also made her a little drowsy, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
I slept quite soundly that night and didn't have any strange dreams.
At night, she felt a faint pain in her abdomen. While she was half conscious, a hot current rushed through her, waking her up suddenly, and she sat up in bed.
The lights in the ward had long been turned off, and only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard around.
The thin and cold moonlight came in from the window and fell on her dissatisfied and frightened face, making her already bloodless face even paler.
Shi Shu was leaning against the back of the chair. He hadn't been sleeping soundly to begin with, but he woke up when he heard the noise. He immediately stood up, leaned over, and clasped her shoulders. His voice finally became more volatile: "What's wrong?"
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Su Tu's face was pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands were tightly covering his lower abdomen. He didn't know what to say: "..."
Shi Shu frowned and asked again, "Speak."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Su Tu looked up, and just as their eyes met, another surge of blood rushed through his body, and his body suddenly became even stiffer.
From Shi Shu's perspective, she was so afraid of him that she was speechless.
He took a deep breath and finally compromised: "I know you don't want to see me. Cooperate well for the next two days. I will disappear when you recover and are discharged from the hospital. Okay?"
“…”
Su Tu was stunned for a moment. He couldn't explain the specific feeling in his heart when he heard this. He just felt that the words he had just prepared halfway suddenly became blocked.
Shi Shu lowered his eyes and waited for a while before holding her face and gently persuading her, "Be obedient."
"Tell me, please, what happened?"
Su Tu pursed her lips, blocking out her chaotic thoughts, avoiding his gaze, and spoke in a voice so low it was almost inaudible: "I... have my period."
“…”
Shi Shu was shocked by this. His tense expression suddenly cracked. He looked as if he was caught off guard. His thin lips opened and closed several times before he finally formed words: "I..."
"What should I do?"
Su Tu's bleak face flushed a little because of the embarrassing scene, and because his hand was supporting his chin, it was a little difficult for him to speak.
After a long while, he said in a muffled voice: "Please buy me sanitary napkins, painkillers, and..."
His Adam's apple rolled slightly: "What?"
“…underwear.”
