Chapter 44: Where is the medicine?
The next night, Zhu Yue left.
Song Lehan went to the village entrance to see her off. After seeing the car leave, she turned around and went back to Xu Jiangcuo's home.
As soon as I entered the door, I ran into Xu Jiangcuo.
"you......"
Xu Jiangcuo stopped talking mid-sentence when he saw Song Lehan was in a low mood. He stepped aside to make way for her.
Song Lehan lowered his head, walked into the door through the gap, and walked towards the room with drooping shoulders.
Looking at her back, Xu Jiangcuo felt a little worried.
"Um..." He said, calling Song Lehan, "Have you eaten?"
Song Lehan paused and shook his head.
"It's just right. I'm going to Sangzhu's house. Come with me!" he invited.
She refused: "No, I'm not hungry."
The door opened and closed, and Song Lehan entered the room.
Xu Jiangcuo stood there, thinking over and over again, but he still felt uneasy about leaving her here alone. He sent a message to Sang Zhu's mother and turned into the kitchen.
In the room, Song Lehan sat on the bed with his mind in a mess.
She couldn't sleep again last night.
Thinking about the fact that it will take another year to terminate the contract with Jiang Yue, I don’t know what will happen in such a long time.
Even, more than a year.
If Jiang Yue threatens her again, then...
Song Lehan sighed deeply. The alarm on her cell phone rang, and it was time for her to take her medicine.
In the past, it was Zhu Yue who reminded her.
Song Lehan stood up, picked up the cup and went outside to get a glass of water. Then he walked back into the house, found the medicine bottle, opened it, and stared at the pills inside, but he didn't take the next step.
After being in a daze for a few seconds, she was about to pour out two pills when there was a knock on the door behind her.
Song Lehan turned around and saw Xu Jiangcuo standing at the door with a bowl of hot noodles in his hand.
she asked, subconsciously putting the medicine behind her.
Xu Jiangcuo saw her little trick, but did not expose her. Instead, he served the noodles and explained, "Not eating at night is not good for your stomach, so I cooked noodles for you."
He placed the bowl on the table, casually reaching behind her and looking back at her, "How about you try it? Is it to your taste?"
"Okay." Song Lehan lowered his head. It was a bowl of green onion fried egg noodles, without chili or coriander.
How did he remember that he didn't eat coriander?
Seeing that Song Lehan didn't move, Xu Jiangcuo thought that something she couldn't eat was put in the noodles, "Don't you like chopped green onions?"
"No." Song Lehan shook his head, sat down and picked up his chopsticks, "I just don't eat cilantro."
Xu Jiangcuo suddenly smiled. "It's okay. I almost put cilantro in it, but I thought you might not like it, so I put it back."
He always remembers it.
Even if you lose your memory, you still remember.
Song Lehan took a bite, and the familiar taste rushed to his taste buds. It was as delicious as ever.
Xu Jiangcuo did not leave, but moved a stool and sat in front of Song Lehan, watching her finish the whole bowl of noodles.
"How's it?" Xu Jiangcuo cleared the dishes and asked her, "It's not particularly bad, is it?"
"No, it's really delicious." Song Lehan praised generously.
Xu Jiangcuo smiled happily and was about to leave with his bowl and chopsticks.
"Hey—" Song Lehan stopped him and tried to snatch the dishes from his hands. "I've already troubled you to cook for me, it would be embarrassing to ask you to wash the dishes again. Give it to me, I'll do it."
Xu Jiangcuo insisted on not giving it to her, "Girls here can't wash dishes."
"It's fake. I don't believe it."
"real!"
In the end, it was Xu Jiangcuo who failed to defeat Song Lehan.
She washed it the first time, and he washed it the second time.
Coming to the kitchen, Song Lehan saw a bowl of noodles left in the pot, pointed and asked Xu Jiangcuo: "There's still some left, do you want to serve it out?"
"Oh, that's what I want to eat. Put it there first." While Song Lehan was not paying attention, Xu Jiangcuo turned on the water and started washing the dishes.
Song Lehan's mood suddenly sank, "You haven't eaten yet?"
Xu Jiangcuo: “Yeah.”
"Why are you so nice to me?" she asked with a trembling voice.
Realizing that there was something wrong with her voice, Xu Jiangcuo stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at her bewilderedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Song Lehan shook his head desperately without saying a word.
The more this happened, the more Xu Jiangcuo felt something was wrong.
He walked closer and reached out to pat her shoulder, but then realized it was inappropriate and retracted his hand.
"Song Lehan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing his concern, Song Lehan's emotional reaction became more intense, and he shook his head even more vigorously.
That feeling comes again.
I want to hurt myself, I want to feel pain.
Song Lehan couldn't help it and began to pinch himself hard with his hands, but it was not enough.
Not painful enough.
not enough!
As if completely forgetting Xu Jiangcuo's presence, Song Lehan raised his hand and bit the back of his own hand fiercely. The force was so strong that it seemed as if he was not biting himself.
"W-What are you doing?!"
Xu Jiangcuo widened his eyes and was stunned for only a second. He immediately stepped forward, pinched her chin, and asked her to let go.
"Don't..." Song Lehan struggled, but failed to break free. Xu Jiangcuo took his hand away from her mouth, which was already stained with blood.
“It’s so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable…”
It felt like there were small flies in her head, buzzing non-stop and making her consciousness gradually blurry.
In a trance, she seemed to have bitten another piece of meat.
But there was no comfortable pain in my body.
Song Lehan paused for a moment, regaining consciousness briefly. She looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks as she saw Xu Jiangcuo, a worried look on his face.
And what she bit was Xu Jiangcuo's arm.
In an instant, Song Lehan's eyes were completely clear. The discomfort in her body and her rationality were entangled in her brain. Finally, she suppressed her collapse, let go of his arm, and apologized with trembling lips: "I'm sorry."
"Where's the medicine?" Xu Jiangcuo didn't seem to blame her, nor did he show any disgust or fear. "Tell me, I'll get it for you."
Song Lehan's eyes began to become blurry again. She shook her head vigorously and took out the small medicine bottle from her pocket with trembling hands.
Xu Jiangcuo took it and asked, "How many pills do you want to take?"
“Two, two…”
Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiangcuo put two pills into Song Lehan's mouth, then quickly took some water from the side and fed it to her. Seeing that she had no strength left, he carried her back to the room.
After the ordeal just now, Song Lehan calmed down a lot. The drug still had a while to work, so she could only endure the discomfort alone.
Xu Jiangcuo covered her with a quilt and reached out to gently smooth her frown.
"It feels so uncomfortable..." Song Lehan's consciousness began to blur again, and he muttered softly.
"What can I do if I feel uncomfortable?" Xu Jiangcuo really didn't know how to help her. Seeing her clutching the quilt tightly, he lowered his eyes and paused for a moment, then replaced the quilt with his hands.
The different touch made Song Lehan open his eyes, but after just a few seconds, he closed them again.
"I'm sorry. Seeing you in so much pain, I can't help you at all." Xu Jiangcuo silently wiped the sweat from Song Lehan's forehead.
Looking down, he saw a teardrop slowly dripping from the corner of her eye.
