medicine
After Lin Fengxiao left, Fang Chuan sat in Huang Fuda's seat for a long time. He held the cup Huang Fuda had just drunk from and drank slowly, sipping from the watermark on the rim.
He missed the taste of Huang Fuda so much.
For the past five years, he has never dared to look for Huang Fuda. Whenever he had the idea of looking for him, the image of Huang Fuda harming himself with a knife would appear before he did.
He could only savor those memories alone, passing through autumn after autumn, until he slowly put the photo frame and the ring into a box and locked them away, until he slowly forgot that person.
I was about to forget about it.
But that's exactly what happened.
Fang Chuan wanted to let him go, but the world is so big, and it just so happens that it's his own shopping mall and exhibition. Isn't this fate?
That forgotten greed and desire intensified.
Today, especially.
He glared fiercely at Lin Fengxiao's seat. Huang Fuda would never bite so hard, leaving such deep teeth marks. How much pain Huang Fuda must have been in back then.
I really want to take him back, lock him up, so no one can see him and no one can take him away.
Fang Chuan finished his glass of water, made a phone call to his assistant, and then reluctantly picked up the glass and got up.
He politely walked to the cashier and bought the cup.
The hotel couldn't be located in Sichuan; it was too hot, and the food was too spicy. Huang Fuda couldn't handle it.
It was dark and heavy, as if he were stuck in mud, unable to muster any strength. He felt his arms being manipulated at will. Huang Fuda impatiently opened his eyes slowly and found it was Lin Fengxiao. He glanced at the time: 3:30 PM.
She tried to sit up on the bed, but was pushed down again.
"Didn't you go to work at the hospital?"
Lin Fengxiao applied the medicine to Huang Fuda's arm and said, "He's been suspended."
"Um?"
Huang Fuda's pajamas were unbuttoned, and ointment was applied to his chest. He held out his hand and said, "Give me the medicine, I can do it myself."
“Let me handle this; you can’t touch me from behind.” Lin Fengxiao dodged Huang Fuda’s hand. “It’s about that incident with my ex-wife last time. After I went there this afternoon, my superiors contacted me again and asked me to suspend my duties for a week.”
"Didn't you show her cancer medical records to the higher-ups?" Huang Fuda asked, puzzled.
Lin Fengxiao lowered his head and smiled slightly, "Don't worry about me, come and turn over, I'll rub your back for you."
"What exactly happened?"
"...Her family came to the hospital and are causing trouble."
He smiled, hugged Huang Fuda and kissed him, coaxing, "Okay, I'll send Chenchen to my mom's for a while, and we'll go on a trip together."
Huang Fuda slowly began, "Why is her family looking for you?"
“Her family says I killed her, is that a joke? Now they don’t know where they found me, and they’ve come here to demand my child.”
Huang Fuda didn't say anything, pushed him away, got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. He was tall and had long legs, and even just looking at his back was an indescribable pleasure. Lin Fengxiao followed behind, leaning against the wall and watching from afar, laughing out of the blue and saying, "It is indeed an honor to have you here."
Huang Fuda turned around with his water glass in hand, slowly drank the water down his throat, his bangs obscuring his eyes and making it impossible to see his expression.
"You're hiding something from me."
After hearing this, Lin Fengxiao turned around, walked to the balcony, picked up a watering can, and watered the flowers. "I didn't hide it from you. Why would I hide it from you?"
Huang Fuda watched Lin Fengxiao's seemingly busy back as he frowned and tentatively said, "Then let's invite them to dinner and talk things out."
"Her family is just being unreasonable, there's nothing more to say."
Are they still in the hospital?
“Yes, she’s been making a fuss every day lately.” Lin Fengxiao put down the kettle, walked closer to Huang Fuda, put his arm around his waist, and rubbed his head against Huang Fuda’s chin. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. Let’s think about where we should go on a trip.”
Huang Fuda looked out the window and said, "Anywhere is fine, but I need to go see my agent in a bit."
The scorching heat baked the road surface, making it gleam white. Huang Fuda's car circled around the city for a short while before finally stopping two streets away from the Affiliated Hospital of Sichuan Medical University.
It's so hot...
Wearing sunglasses, Huang Fuda resisted the urge to roll up his sleeves, quickly flagged down a car, and went to the hospital.
He practically knew the way to the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at the Affiliated Hospital of Sichuan Medical University. For the past two years, he would come here frequently for checkups, take the reports home to show Lin Fengxiao, and then Lin Fengxiao would prescribe medication for him.
After exiting the elevator, Huang Fuda put on a mask again before walking over there. Before he even got there, he could hear crying and arguing in the distance. He followed the sound and sat down in the corridor to listen quietly.
"...She's pregnant, and she has to take care of his whole family. And that Lin Fengxiao even cheated on her during her pregnancy with another man!"
"...My daughter was driven to depression, and they wouldn't let her go to the hospital because they said they were doctors and could prescribe medication."
"How could he prescribe medication?! How could a psychiatrist prescribe medication?!"
"In the end, the illness couldn't be cured, and a checkup revealed it was late-stage breast cancer. Wasn't that just dying of anger?!"
"...They were initially doctor and patient, but he had ulterior motives when my daughter went to see him for treatment!"
The sound faded into the distance, and Huang Fuda isolated himself from the world. His eyes gradually became blank, and he left the hospital in a daze. When he reached the parking lot, he suddenly realized that his car was not there.
He returned to his building, but didn't get out of the car. He just looked up at the lit window upstairs, and through the window he could vaguely see Lin Fengxiao's figure moving around. He used to feel gratified when he saw that; it was his home, someone was there to keep the lights on for him, someone was waiting for him. But now, all he felt was fear.
A psychiatrist isn't qualified to prescribe medication... So what kind of medication did Lin Fengxiao bring home every time...?
The phone suddenly rang. Huang Fuda looked down and picked it up. It was Lin Fengxiao. He looked up at the house again and saw a dark figure standing at the window. Huang Fuda's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated to answer the phone.
The phone rang again and again, and Huang Fuda remained stiff and motionless until the car window was knocked on and Lin Fengxiao's smiling face appeared in front of him. Only then did Huang Fuda shrink back in fear.
"Honey, why aren't you answering the phone in the car?"
The car door opened, and a hand touched his face. "Why do you look so pale? Didn't you get enough rest?"
Huang Fuda's Adam's apple bobbed. "I...I was a little dizzy just now, and I spaced out..."
Lin Fengxiao chuckled a few times, "Look, you've been in such bad shape lately, you should go on a trip to relax and rejuvenate."
"Um……"
After dinner, they went to bed. Lin Fengxiao poured out the medicine, handed it to Huang Fuda, and stood by his side, watching him gently.
Huang Fuda took the medicine, his nose twitched slightly, and he frowned, saying, "Is the gas still on? Go check it quickly."
"Turn it off..." Lin Fengxiao sniffed the air, then walked out with a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing that the person had left, Huang Fuda quickly hid the medicine under the bed sheet, then lowered his head to drink water.
Lin Fengxiao walked back and said, "Turn it off." Then, looking at Huang Fuda drinking water, he smiled gently.
Lin Fengxiao touched Huang Fuda's lips, which were still damp, and then gently stroked his entire face. She said with satisfaction, "How can you be so handsome?"
Huang Fuda turned his head away, removed his hand from his face, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you tired of looking at it yet?"
Lin Fengxiao smiled and said, "We can still watch for another ten years."
Huang Fuda didn't sleep all night. He kept his eyes closed, his breathing even, pretending to be fast asleep, but his mind was a mess. The next morning, he made an excuse to take the pills and went out. He didn't return home until evening, his face grim.
He opened the door, grabbed Lin Fengxiao by the collar, threw him against the wall, and punched him.
"What's gotten into you all of a sudden!" Lin Fengxiao wiped away the blood from his nose, his face filled with anger and confusion.
"Lin Fengxiao, what kind of medicine have you been giving me all these years?"
Lin Fengxiao suddenly realized, then chuckled softly, "You didn't take your medicine last night."
Another slap landed on Lin Fengxiao's face. "Since when did this start?"
"Does it matter? Isn't this family the most important thing?" Lin Fengxiao hugged Huang Fuda. "Chenchen called you 'Dad' a few days ago, but he didn't dare to call you that to your face. Are you really going to abandon this family just because of this?"
Lin Fengxiao's arms tightened gradually. He said with a friendly expression, "Besides, I did it so you could get a good night's sleep. That medicine can calm you down and help you sleep. You see, you always sleep very well after taking it, don't you?"
Huang Fuda's eyes were cold. He pried off the arm that was tightly locked around his waist, took a few steps back, and then went back to the bedroom to pack his luggage. There was too much stuff. Over the past three years, it had been scattered all over the house. Huang Fuda suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Lin Fengxiao watched him silently from behind, then calmly said, "Where are you going? Chenchen and I are your only family. Are you going to abandon the family you've lived with for three years?"
"We are family."
"I just made a small mistake. I'll just stop taking the medicine from now on."
"Where can you go after you leave? You have nowhere to go."
"Are you really going to go find Fang Chuan and become a mistress who breaks up Miss Chen's family? And how do you know how long Fang Chuan's interest in you will last? With his wealth, if he wanted to find you in the past five years, he would have found you long ago. This is just a passing fancy for him. Do you really think he likes you?"
Huang Fuda completely ignored his words, took his ID card, passport, computer, and a few light clothes.
Lin Fengxiao's face and voice both turned cold: "Huang Fuda, think about who took you in back then, and who gave you a home."
Huang Fuda paused in his action of pulling up his luggage. With his back to Lin Fengxiao, he slowly said, "So I deserve it, right?"
“I can’t even be bothered to ask you.” Huang Fuda turned around. “You must have gone out for casual sex quite a few times while I was away on business trips. You can even cheat on me while I’m pregnant. What’s my business trip compared to that?”
Lin Fengxiao was startled and rushed over to grab Huang Fuda.
“Honey, I’m serious about you. The past is the past. I haven’t messed around with anyone since we got together. I’m not blind. Why would I leave someone like you at home to go looking for someone else?”
Huang Fuda pushed the man aside, pulled his suitcase and walked out. Lin Fengxiao's eyes were gloomy, and he sneered coldly from behind: "Fang Chuan has already given me a green hat, and I'm not even angry. This is only six or seven years ago, why are you bringing it up again? If we're going to go back in time, you used to have way more fun than me."
Huang Fuda paused, his hand still on the door, and chuckled softly.
"You're a first-timer who only just found out, aren't you?"
Huang Fuda drove away from the residential area and drove around the city, not knowing where to go. The hot wind blew into the car, and he heard the music mixed in between the shops. His eyes swept over the laughing crowd and lingered on a hotel.
His suitcase wheels glided across the hotel's gleaming tiles as he walked steadily to the front desk.
"Hello, check-in is here."
Huang Fuda handed her his ID card. The receptionist took the ID card, her eyes glancing at his arm before subtly taking it back.
As he took the room key and turned around, he bumped into someone. Huang Fuda turned his head, his breath hitched, and he instinctively hid his arm behind his back.
"...Fang Chuan."
