Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Bundled.
Two o'clock in the morning.
The inpatient department has already entered the closed period.
The temperature has dropped recently and there is no heating in the ward. The patients wrapped themselves in blankets early and turned off the lights to rest. As a result, the entire floor was quiet, and even the occasional footsteps in the corridor were particularly light.
Su Tu hugged his knees and sat restlessly in front of the bed. The pain in his lower abdomen became more and more unbearable, but what was even more unbearable was the heat that was constantly oozing out of his lower body.
The sheets must have been wet, and the mattress must have been wet too...
She frowned, buried her face in her knees, and her shoulders trembled from the cold. She didn't know how long it had been before there was a quick and light sound at the door.
Shi Shu rushed back, dusty and exhausted, carrying two plastic bags. He closed the door behind him, strode to the bedside, unfolded the plastic bags, and spoke in a low, breathless voice, "Let's see if I bought the right ones."
Su Tu raised his head with difficulty. His face was red and pale from being in silence for a long time. He glanced at it briefly and nodded vaguely.
In the darkness, she turned sideways and stretched her legs to the edge of the bed. As she was groping for her slippers, a pair of cotton slippers automatically came up to her. Before she could react, her body suddenly felt lighter and she was picked up by the waist and taken straight to the bathroom.
When they got closer, Su Tu realized that his breathing was a little rapid. The heat emanating from his skin made her head dizzy and her heartbeat a little faster.
It was not until they were put down in the bathroom that he stretched out his arm and turned on the light, and the mirror reflected two faces that looked a little unnatural, with suspicious red marks on their earlobes and necks.
Shi Shu didn't want to delay any longer, but his movements were somehow slowed down. After a few seconds, he finally remembered to put the plastic bag on the table and said stiffly, "Um..."
"All the shops outside are closed. The convenience store only has disposable underwear. You can make do with it for now until tomorrow morning—"
“Okay!”
Su Tu grabbed the hem of his clothes and interrupted hurriedly: "One, a one-time use will do!"
"Um…"
Shi Shu responded casually, his eyes fixed on her face which was sometimes red and sometimes white. His mind was a little confused, and he was still wondering why she didn't move. After a while, he realized that he hadn't gone out yet.
He quickly cleared his throat and said, "Then you go ahead and do it. I'll be at the door. If you need anything..."
But he was interrupted by gritted teeth: "Not at the door!"
“…”
Su Tu was extremely ashamed and didn't know how to tell him. The toilet had poor sound insulation and she really couldn't do it because she was too close. Besides, it was just changing a sanitary napkin, what could be a big deal?
But he was somewhat aware that his tone was a bit ungrateful, so he quickly explained in a low voice: "I, I mean, you can just go back and rest first, you don't have to wait for me..."
The night was long and cold. The bathroom was tiled on all sides, and the cold air was everywhere. Her fingertips began to turn purple from the cold, and the strength with which she covered her lower abdomen kept tightening.
Shi Shu realized something belatedly and immediately withdrew: "Okay."
He closed the door and walked back to the bedside. Suddenly he caught sight of a dark pool on the bed and his expression froze again.
Just like a top-performing student who encountered difficult problems one after another, he felt that all the knowledge points learned tonight were far beyond his comprehension.
It took me a while to sort out my thoughts. I went out to the nurses' station and asked the nurse on duty if the bed sheets could be changed. The reply I got was that the linen room was locked and I had to wait until the cleaning staff came to work tomorrow morning before I could change the sheets.
When I came back the bathroom was open.
Their eyes met, and Su Tu was stunned for a moment: "..."
Shi Shu explained, "I just went out to ask, and the sheets can't be changed until tomorrow morning."
As he spoke, he leaned over again and picked the person up swiftly.
After returning to the bed, he unzipped it, took off his sports jacket, and changed her coat before tucking her into bed. "This one is more comfortable. Let's sleep on it for the night."
“…”
Su Tu's body temperature was not high, so even though the coat had a good thermal insulation effect, he still didn't feel very warm. When he put on his coat, his body was suddenly wrapped in heat, and he shivered suddenly due to the alternation of cold and heat. He shivered and wanted to bury his face in his collar.
Looking up, she saw that he was only wearing a single white shirt, and she immediately wanted to take off her coat and return it to him, but her hands were wrapped in the wide sleeves for a long time, and finally, in a very strange way, they were restrained together.
Shi Shu pulled his sleeves with a cold face, tied a knot, and said without hesitation: "Stop it."
"I'm not cold, there's a quilt behind me."
After tying the knot and making sure she couldn't move, he turned around and picked up the painkillers. He glanced at the instructions, opened a pill, and handed it to her with some lukewarm water: "Take the medicine."
“…”
Playing house? This is...
Su Tu blinked and stared at his bound arms in disbelief. He struggled tentatively, and the knot unsurprisingly... became tighter.
Looking up at that face that was almost frozen, I knew that there was no way he would "untie" me.
She felt a little humiliated, and the pain in her lower abdomen kept roaring.
After a moment of silence, he finally put on a submissive look, slowly approached the hand holding the medicine, and then, while taking the medicine, suddenly -
I bit his hand very accidentally.
I watched helplessly as my fingertips trembled, then I looked up apologetically, the medicine in my mouth, and apologized incoherently: "I'm sorry."
“…”
Shi Shu didn't say anything, but just steady his strength when handing the water over to prevent the cup from being knocked away again.
However, Su Tu was not stupid enough to risk getting himself wet. He swallowed the medicine obediently and lay down on his side with an attitude, thinking that he could wear it or not.
He deserves to be frozen to death!
After the anger subsided, I still felt a stomachache.
The medicine doesn't take effect so quickly. She has been taking it for a long time and has developed a strong drug resistance. It will not have any effect at all within an hour.
She huddled in the quilt, feeling uncomfortable. She wanted to turn over, but she didn't know what was happening behind her, so she could only flutter around in a cowardly manner.
Then I heard the sound of a chair being moved and a series of light footsteps.
The person behind her suddenly changed his position, came to sit in front of her, and looked down indifferently with a dark gaze, meeting her gaze without missing a beat.
Su Tu: “…”
She blinked, not understanding what he wanted to do. After waiting for a long time, he didn't seem to want to say anything, so she turned over quickly as if she didn't want to bother with him.
I moved my body around a bit and felt a little better.
But not long after, I started to feel a little stiff again, and curled up uncomfortably in the quilt.
Shi Shu then moved the chair back to his original position.
When their eyes met, Su Tu turned over again...
After going back and forth three or four times, Su Tu finally understood his intention.
I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to ask him if he couldn't just lie down. No matter how uncomfortable the accompanying bed was, it was still better than sitting and running back and forth, right?
Shi Shu was the first to notice something was wrong and touched her forehead. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
“…”
Su Tu was halfway through turning over, just as he was about to roll from lying flat to the other side, when he was forced to stop and froze in place. When he met the cold and hard eyes that suddenly approached him, his heart skipped a beat.
The large hand that fell on her forehead was so hot that it made her breath stop. She was dazed and even forgot what she wanted to say. After a long while, she tilted her head uncomfortably and said, "No, I don't have a fever."
"It's just that the medicine hasn't taken effect yet."
Shi Shu frowned: "What should we do then?"
Instead of keeping his distance, he noticed that her cheeks were cold and touched them with the back of his hands with a frozen expression.
Su Tu didn't dare to move, and felt that he might have made a mistake: "W-what?"
Maybe he really has a fever.
Otherwise, why would it suddenly become so hot...
Shi Shu lowered his eyes: "How can I feel more comfortable?"
Su Tu seemed to be experiencing this situation for the first time, and was a little confused. He didn't dare to breathe freely when speaking: "It should be... okay after a while."
Shi Shu remembered that she had been holding her lower abdomen, and after combining the physiological knowledge he had learned, he withdrew his hand and reached into the quilt. After holding her lower abdomen, he looked up and asked, "Is this going to help?"
“…”
Su Tu suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he was frightened. His fingers were clenched tightly together, and his abdomen tightened in fear, but he had no idea where to retreat.
He opened his lips but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Shi Shu observed her expression, which showed fear and embarrassment, but not resistance or discomfort. He then grabbed her waist and said firmly, "Don't move."
"It's late, go to bed."
Because this position was a bit airtight, he moved closer. After adjusting the quilt, he leaned over and asked her, "Can I have half of your pillow?"
Su Tu doubted his ears a little: "W-what?"
She hadn't even recovered from the last wave of fear, and she just stared at him as he half-hugged her and leaned against the pillow without saying a word.
His forehead was pressed against her cheek, so close that he could feel the fluctuations of her breathing. His voice was weak and dull, as if he was extremely tired, low and disturbing her eardrums: "Go to sleep, good night."
“…”
Su Tu's expression was frozen, feeling the warmth in his abdomen and the intimacy beside his ear.
I didn't dare turn my head or turn over. I just stared at the ceiling and heard my heart beating so hard that it was about to burst out.
I don't know how much time passed before I realized that the breathing beside me had become smoother, and I swallowed nervously.
Finally, he couldn't hold it back any longer, and like an unconscious movement in a dream, he cautiously turned his eyes to the side, looking at the sparse outline nestled in his shoulder and neck.
His long eyelashes cast a shadow, revealing a rare softness. A tiny mole on his straight nose seemed to be wagging its tail and begging for mercy, waiting for her to reach out and touch him, or to bend down and kiss him...
Realizing what he was thinking, Su Tu suddenly opened his eyes wide again, blushed, looked away, and took a deep breath silently into the air.
Thinking about it, I always feel that something is wrong...
So how on earth could he lie beside her like nothing happened after she was about to break up with him?
She blinked and looked back at the cold and indifferent face again.
I suddenly started to doubt my life.
Then, he moved his shoulders angrily, trying to wake the person up, but his movements were so light and weak, as if he had not eaten enough.
So much so that this confusing behavior seems to have no effect at all except being a bit self-humiliating.
She stared helplessly at the broad, straight shoulders beyond the quilt.
After a long while, she finally pursed her lips as if in compromise, carefully put her right hand into her coat from the sleeve, and then reluctantly reached out and pulled the corner of the quilt to cover him a little more.
Only then did he slowly close his eyes under the effect of the medicine.
Completely unaware, I fell into a deep sleep in the second half of the night.
Someone with a deep look in his eyes carefully and lightly kissed the corner of her peaceful eyes.
