Chapter 5 Emergency
Lin Xu swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
This action is no different from teasing when used on the same kind of people.
But Zhou Yan is a straight man, so there is nothing wrong with doing this.
You must not make a mountain out of a molehill.
Lin Xu regained his composure and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Yan to wipe his hands.
"Maybe they got bored at my friend's place. Several pots of flowers are infested with insects. I'll buy some insecticide tomorrow and spray them."
"Oh." Zhou Yan nodded. "I'm going to take a shower. It's very windy tonight, be careful not to catch a cold."
"I'll be there soon, thank you, Brother Zhou." Lin Xu smiled brightly.
Zhou Yan also smiled and went to take a shower.
Lin Xu touched the place where Zhou Yan had just slapped him and felt a burning sensation.
Zhou Yan didn't use much strength, but his palms were very hot...
Lin Xu realized that he was starting to have wild thoughts, so he quickly shook his head, closed the balcony door, and went to the refrigerator to get some Chinese medicine to heat it up.
If I drink a few more courses, I will definitely stop having these random thoughts.
Lin Xu silently said to himself to cheer himself up.
The next day, Lin Xu got up and still didn't see Zhou Yan.
He took his resume and went on to the interview.
However, I hit a wall for three consecutive days.
Lin Xu was devastated.
They cannot compete with those with more experience above, and they cannot compete with fresh graduates below.
Lin Xu felt that his answers during the interview were all good, but he didn't know where the problem lay.
I traveled for three days under the scorching sun in the middle of summer. I couldn't bear to take a taxi, so I squeezed into the subway. When I came back this afternoon, I felt a little dizzy and fell asleep directly on the sofa.
Zhou Yan has been working overtime for the past three days because of a newly signed order. He leaves home early and comes back late, and has not seen Lin Xu.
Lin Xu had no place to eat and had to eat instant noodles for three days.
In the past two days, Zhou Yan had been at home and had taken the initiative to clean up the house, and he had not followed the agreement that each person would take turns cleaning up every day.
But Zhou Yan had no time these days, and Lin Xu was in no mood, so the originally tidy house became a mess.
Lin Xu's used things, including the instant noodle bowl and mineral water bottle, were all thrown on the coffee table.
It was rare for Zhou Yan to come back a day early, and he frowned as soon as he entered the door.
The smell in the room is really not pleasant.
Zhou Yan is not a mysophobiaist, but he likes a clean and comfortable living environment. This house has never been so messy since he bought it.
He originally chose to let Lin Xu live in because Lin Xu looked clean and smelled fresh, and didn't look like a sloppy person.
Who knew that his true colors would be revealed in just two days.
At this moment, Lin Xu was lying on the sofa and sleeping.
I don’t know how long I slept, but my vest was twisted on my body, exposing my white chest.
Even without the lights on, her skin glowed with moonlight.
However, Zhou Yan didn't have time to lament why Lin Xu had such good skin even though they were both men.
Because he swept over the mess on the coffee table and the floor and the strange smell coming from the pile of miscellaneous items.
Zhou Yan directly turned on the lights in the living room.
The sudden brightness startled Lin Xu, and he got angry as soon as he opened his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Yan was even more stubborn, pointing at the trash in front of him and saying, "Why are you telling me what to do? You don't even pick up the trash at home every day. This is a public area, and we agreed to take turns doing housework."
Lin Xu felt a little dizzy before going to bed. When he was suddenly woken up, he was completely dazed and his stomach felt churning.
He stood up and sat there without saying anything. From Zhou Yan's perspective, he thought he was angry with him.
Zhou Yan pursed his lips.
He has been very tired these days and has no energy to argue with his roommate about the division of labor.
If he can't stand it, then he has to do it.
If you have the energy, you might as well clean up the house first and then talk to him.
Zhou Yan opened all the windows for ventilation, then went to the kitchen to get a trash can and threw the bowl of instant noodles on the table into it.
Tidy up the table and wipe off the stains on it.
Lin Xu sat there with his head down without saying a word. In fact, his vision was black, his stomach was nauseous, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhou Yan was working and didn't notice Lin Xu's abnormality.
She was also angry and scolded him while working.
"Since we're sharing a house, we have to abide by the agreement in the common areas. I didn't ask you to clean it extra thoroughly, but you should at least throw away the garbage after eating and using it, right? Smell the room for yourself and see what it smells like."
"You were dressed quite cleanly, but I didn't expect you to make such a mess in the house. From now on, we should strictly enforce the daily cleaning tasks for each person."
"Don't be unhappy. If we want to live in peace, it's better to speak out. How can we solve it if we don't? Lin Xu, you—"
After Zhou Yan expressed his anger, his tone softened.
He pushed Lin Xu, who had been silent, with the back of his hand.
Lin Xu was already feeling like vomiting, and his shaking completely dispelled his urge.
"Hmm..." Lin Xu covered his mouth and rushed to the bathroom with his remaining willpower.
Zhou Yan was not mentally prepared and was knocked down by the force of his rush.
After hearing the "bang bang bang" sounds in the bathroom, I heard the sound of vomiting. I quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the bathroom.
Lin Xu knelt on the ground exhausted, holding the toilet and vomiting.
Only then did Zhou Yan realize that something was wrong with him.
Lin Xu's face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the edges of his vest were damp with sweat.
"What's wrong with you? Lin Xu!"
Lin Xu could hear Zhou Yan's voice, but was unable to respond. His body tilted and he was about to fall down.
Zhou Yan rushed over and supported him, preventing his head from hitting the ground.
Zhou Yan didn't care about whether it was clean or not at this moment. He flushed the toilet and found a towel with water to wipe Lin Xu's mouth and face.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well? What happened?"
Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhou Yan with lifeless eyes, his lips trembling, but he couldn't speak.
Looking extremely weak.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I'll take you to the hospital now."
Zhou Yan put Lin Xu on his back, took the car keys and rushed out.
Lin Xu almost fainted while sitting in the back seat of Zhou Yan's car.
Zhou Yan took him to the emergency room and was also soaked.
"Heatstroke. Stay here for one night. You need an IV." The doctor gave a diagnosis after an examination.
Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was just heatstroke.
"Who are you, the patient?"
"roommate."
"Oh, so are you going to notify his family to come over or are you going to arrange for him to be hospitalized?"
How could Zhou Yan know where Lin Xu's family was, let alone where to find them at such a late hour?
"I'll do it for him."
"Then take the bill and pay." The doctor handed the bill to Zhou Yan.
It was already midnight when Lin Xu was settled.
Lin Xu slept soundly after the infusion. Zhou Yan sat on a chair beside the bed and looked at the medicine in the infusion bottle.
There was a large bruise on Lin Xu's knee.
He hit the toilet when he rushed into the bathroom.
Such a large, black and swollen spot was shocking on his fair skin.
The doctor said to apply ice and gave him an ice pack.
Zhou Yan didn't put the ice pack directly on his legs, for fear of freezing him, so he put a towel under it and held it up to apply gently to his legs.
