Chapter 23 Lie Down
It was around nine o'clock in the evening when Sheng Yize returned to the hospital.
There was no main light in the ward, only a floor lamp.
The bright moonlight shone in through the window, spreading a layer of silvery-white light on the ground, reflecting with the light from the floor lamp, dispelling a lot of the darkness in the room.
He walked over lightly, stood beside the bed, and looked down at the girl sleeping in the bed in the moonlight.
She was fair to begin with, and the moonlight fell on her face, making it seem as if one could see the tiny hairs on her cheeks.
Her breathing was shallow but audible.
Sheng Yize leaned forward and gently touched her forehead with his hand.
It's completely gone.
Feeling a little relieved, he was about to withdraw his hand when the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
Not sure if he was half asleep or dreaming, Sang Sui actually saw a man dressed in black standing at the head of the bed.
The man placed his hand on her forehead, with the brim of his black hat pulled down, revealing only his thin, clear jawline - as if he was demanding her life.
She was half asleep and asked subconsciously, "Are you Hei Wuchang?"
“…”
Are you sleeping soundly?
The man's brow twitched, and the palm of his hand that was pressed against her forehead slowly slid down and pinched her cheek.
I have much more strength than last time.
Sang Sui frowned in pain, and finally he woke up completely.
Sang Sui immediately sat up from the bed and turned on the bedside lamp.
Sheng Yize?
The man took off his hat and put it aside, pulled up a chair and sat down, glancing at her.
The tone was lazy: "Is it still the Black Impermanence?"
Sang Sui smiled and shook his head: "You're back?"
Sheng Yize looked into those eyes, which contained the scattered moonlight, clear and pure.
"Have you been waiting for me?" he asked.
"Um."
"What are you waiting for me for?"
“…”
Sang Sui choked and blinked.
Thinking of what Lin Luoluo had said to her, the previous discomfort also dissipated.
He might...
I was really worried that something might happen to her.
She looked at him and said solemnly: "I will listen to you from now on. I won't do anything dangerous again."
Sheng Yize raised his eyebrows.
"I won't let you worry anymore. I will be obedient in the future."
Sheng Yize looked into her eyes and smiled.
Quite obedient.
"Lie down." He stood up.
"Hmm?" Although Sang Sui was confused, he still lay down obediently.
Sheng Yize reached out, pulled the quilt up to cover her neck, and tucked it in.
"Close your eyes," he ordered.
"what?"
"sleep."
"It's only nine o'clock now, it's still early..."
"What's the point of being early? You should go to bed early and get up early, little brat."
“…”
Seeing her dithering, Sheng Yize said, "Hurry up."
“…Oh.” Sang Sui then closed his eyes obediently.
The ward was quiet. After closing her eyes, her hearing was amplified and she could clearly hear the sound of the man zipping up his pants.
Sang Sui opened one eye and looked at him quietly.
He unzipped his jacket, took it off, straightened it, and threw it on the sofa next to him.
Thinking he was leaving, Sang Sui was anxious: "Are you going back?"
He sat down again: "No."
As if he had thought of something, he added, "I'm here with you."
Sang Sui pursed his lips and felt like he tasted something sweet in his heart.
She closed her eyes obediently and couldn't help laughing: "Okay."
-
The two of them didn't speak, and the whole room was so quiet that they could almost hear each other's breathing.
She did hear it.
The man's breathing was heavier than hers, which was particularly obvious in this quiet space.
In all the years she had known him, she had rarely been alone with him like this.
So she never realized that the man's breathing in this quiet space could be so clear as if it was next to her ear, easily touching all her nerves.
The secret love in his heart seemed to be clearly portrayed at this moment, and Sang Sui couldn't help but curl his lips.
Sheng Yize looked at her gradually curved curve and raised his eyebrows.
Why are you grinning instead of sleeping properly?
"What are you grinning about?"
The man's voice came out of nowhere.
After being caught, Sang Sui stopped smiling instantly, coughed a few times awkwardly, and slowly turned his back.
She rested her cheek on the soft pillow and slowly opened her eyes.
"Sheng Yize," she said, "thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"You asked Lin Luoluo to accompany me, and asked her to buy me the food I like."
Sheng Yize lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.
"Nothing to thank you for."
"……oh."
The two gradually quieted down.
With him by his side and his clear breathing sound in his ears, Sang Sui tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
The previous scenes flashed through my mind frame by frame.
When she first entered the Sheng family, although Sheng Yize had a cold personality, he had never been as cold to her as he was now, to the point that she could feel a hint of his disgust towards her.
They got along well at that time, and even when he took her to the hospital when she had her first period, their relationship went from strangers to familiar ones.
He was not as cold as he was at the beginning. He would take the initiative to talk to her and take her to some places to play.
But when did this transformation begin?
It seemed to be after Aunt Lin passed away.
At that time, he had just finished the college entrance examination, and it was also during the summer vacation of that year that Aunt Lin suddenly passed away.
From then on, his temperament changed.
He became even more indifferent, and when facing her, he was always indifferent and had a hint of targeting.
She was sensitive and she felt from that time that Sheng Yize hated her.
But why do you hate her?
She still doesn't understand.
"Sheng Yize."
The man's closed eyes moved slightly.
The girl's voice was soft and distant, as if she was asking him, or as if she was asking herself -
"Why do you hate me so much?"
However, the man responded with silence.
She turned around slowly and found the man leaning against the back of the chair, his arms around his chest, and his long legs spread out.
Those deep eyes were closed and his breathing was even.
He fell asleep.
Sang Sui lowered his eyes, feeling a little lost.
She turned slowly and stared into the distance in a trance.
As the night deepens, Sang Sui gradually falls asleep.
Sheng Yize slowly opened his eyes after hearing the shallow breathing of the girl on the hospital bed.
Why do you hate her?
He is still struggling and suffering over the answer and choice of this question.
He couldn't find a correct answer.
But at least now, he should apologize for treating her like that before.
Sheng Yize stared at her small figure, his voice was light, rippling in the quiet and dim ward -
"sorry."
I said such harsh words to you on the rooftop.
