Chapter 70: Let’s sleep together!
Xu Yancheng originally planned to put the stools together to sleep on and leave the bed for Ruan Anan.
But the stools in this interrogation room are not stable enough, so putting beds together is simply a pipe dream.
He sighed and resigned himself to the cold concrete floor.
It seems that I can only sleep on the floor tonight!
Ruan Anan was also speechless.
No wonder people say that the feudal and stereotyped Chinese people are lustful at heart.
Otherwise, the population would not have increased several times in just a few decades.
Compared to their openness, I am a person who came from the year 2025 where even wearing a suspender skirt can lead to cyberbullying.
It seems like a feudal remnant!
Hugging and kissing in a place like an interrogation room? The mere thought of it made her blush.
Thinking of this, she threw the relatively thick quilt on the bed to Xu Yancheng who was looking at the ground.
"The ground is cold, just wrap yourself up."
"Okay." Xu Yancheng agreed neatly, shook out the quilt, and made a bed on the floor next to the narrow camp bed.
Thanks to the Nansha Island, the air is usually humid and there is not much dust on the ground.
Otherwise, this quilt will have to be washed tomorrow.
Huh~
Rumble.
clang.
Ruan Anan had just laid down when she was startled by the sound outside the window and sat up suddenly, "What...what's this noise?!"
"It's a typhoon." Xu Yancheng quickly stood up and bolted the clanging window from the inside.
typhoon?
Ruan Anan had seen typhoons before, but this one was so devastating that it appeared with such destructive force.
This is the first time I've seen it.
Typhoons usually develop gradually.
But when a typhoon hits the Nansha Islands, it is at the level of a "natural disaster."
What's worse is that when the typhoon comes, the damp and cold air with the smell of the sea penetrates every pore.
The chill was not dry but wet, like countless icy little snakes drilling into the cracks between bones, making people shiver with cold.
Looking at Ruan Anan wrapped in the quilt with her lips trembling slightly, Xu Yancheng's heart tightened.
He bent down to pick up the quilt that had just been made on the bed, and without saying a word, wrapped it around Ruan Anan.
"Don't be afraid," he said in a low voice, with a reassuring power.
"Looking at this situation, the typhoon won't stop anytime soon. We'll probably have to stay here for the next few days."
"I'll talk to the political commissar tomorrow and ask him to arrange another room for me."
"After the typhoon passes, I'll take you to the beach."
Ruan Anan wrapped herself in the quilt and said, "I want to catch starfish."
"Okay!" Xu Yancheng agreed without hesitation, pointing to the chair by the wall that looked fairly sturdy.
"I'll just sit there for the night. If you're scared or uncomfortable, call me anytime. I can hear you."
Under the dim light, Ruan Anan looked at Xu Yancheng's tall but tired figure, and glanced at the cold, hard chair.
Something in my heart softened.
"The ground is too damp! It's uncomfortable to sleep sitting up. Let's sleep together. It's better than on the ground!"
Xu Yancheng's body stiffened slightly.
He took a deep breath, and then, as if mustering up all his courage, he carefully lay down on the edge of the bed.
Both of them were wearing thin short-sleeved shirts, and their arms were pressed together when they were wrapped in a quilt.
Ruan Anan's body was very cold, but every time Xu Yancheng touched it, it would bring a burning sensation.
In order not to offend her, half of his body was almost hanging in the air, and his posture was as stiff as a wooden man.
When Ruan Anan saw that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, the awkwardness in her heart disappeared.
She pulled a corner of the quilt and put it on his back without saying anything. "Put it on to keep warm."
Outside the window, the howling of wind and heavy rain hit the glass like dense drumbeats.
Ruan Anan couldn't help but ask softly, "Do you also encounter such strong waves when you go out to sea to perform missions?"
"Well," Xu Yancheng leaned against the edge of the bed, his voice calm, "Only if we forge ahead can the thousands of families behind us live in peace. So when the mission comes, let alone a raging storm, even if it's a sea of fire and swords ahead, we have to rush through it at the command."
Ruan Anan's heart suddenly shook!
The responsibility contained in those calm words was like a huge rock thrown into her heart.
A huge sense of guilt instantly overwhelmed her.
He's so kind! So selfless!
But she only wanted to use him to get out of this situation!
Ruan Anan, you are really a piece of shit!
The two of them were wrapped in a quilt, chatting casually.
Perhaps it was the warmth coming from Xu Yancheng that was so reassuring, or perhaps it was that her tense nerves finally relaxed.
Ruan Anan herself didn't know when her consciousness sank into darkness.
Early the next morning.
The typhoon was still roaring outside the window.
Xu Yancheng opened his eyes and habitually wanted to check his watch.
But his vision was dark, and he subconsciously reached for the pillow, but touched a warm head.
Ruan Anan lay on his chest like a kitten, her breathing rising and falling through the thin fabric of his shirt.
Xu Yancheng's body froze instantly.
He lowered his eyes cautiously, looking at the peaceful sleeping face of the person in his arms.
The world was dark at this moment, but his "sun" was nestled safely in his arms.
He raised his hand and, almost reverently, gently tucked the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead behind her ears.
But the moment his fingertips touched her skin, the smile on his face disappeared.
Hiss, it’s so hot.
He quickly got up and placed Ruan Anan in his arms flat on the bed, covering her forehead with his rough hands.
She has a fever!
Xu Yancheng shook Ruan Anan.
"An An, An An, wake up!"
No response.
Coma due to high fever?
Xu Yancheng hurriedly went to his duty dormitory to find an enamel basin, filled it with warm water and began to cool her down physically.
Wu Wei rushed over after hearing the noise and looked at the unconscious Ruan Anan and asked, "Captain Xu, what happened to my sister-in-law?"
After discovering that physical cooling was useless, Xu Yancheng frowned and said to Wu Wei, "She has a fever. I have to go to the military hospital to see a doctor!"
Wu Wei glanced out the window. The trees outside were torn to pieces by the strong wind, and raindrops as big as beans were hitting the glass horizontally.
If you go out at this time, you might be in great danger!
"Captain, how about we wait until the wind dies down a bit... It's too windy outside, people could be blown away at any moment. It's too dangerous!"
"I can't wait!" Xu Yancheng squeezed Ruan Anan's hot but soft hand, "I can't lose her again!"
After saying that, he grabbed the military raincoat hanging behind the door, put it on casually, opened the door and rushed into the wind and rain.
"Hey, Captain Xu, it's raining so hard, where are you going in such a hurry?"
A female voice with obvious sarcasm sounded coldly behind him.
Xu Yancheng's body suddenly stiffened. For the first time, he felt that Zhu Yaoyao's voice was not so annoying.
Zhu Yaoyao was startled by his gaze and subconsciously took a step back: "Don't get me wrong! I'm not here to pester you!"
She quickly raised the medicine box in her hand. "Yesterday, a comrade had a sudden medical emergency, and I was trapped in the building by the typhoon. I just heard in the cafeteria... Ruan Anan is being held in the interrogation room?"
She curled her lips, with a hint of awkward concern, "I was worried that her precious body, that of a capitalist lady, wouldn't be able to withstand the cold, so I thought of sending her two hot eggs. Who knew I'd run into you?"
Xu Yancheng didn't care whether her words were true or not. He rushed forward and grabbed Zhu Yaoyao's arm without saying a word.
"You've come just in time! An An has a high fever that won't go away, go check her out!"
"W-what? Fainted?"
"I told you! How could these delicate young ladies from the city stand the harsh environment on our island? A typhoon could scare half of their lives off, and if the temperature drops, it's no wonder they don't fall ill!"
Zhu Yaoyao was harsh in his words, but he didn't stop and rushed to the interrogation room with the medicine box.
After entering the interrogation room, she quickly put down the medicine box without caring about her wet trouser legs.
He first reached out to touch Ruan Anan's hot forehead, then deftly took out a stethoscope and listened carefully to the heart and lung sounds.
After a while, she put away her stethoscope, glanced at Xu Yancheng, who was like an ant on the hot pot, and said unhappily, "It's a high fever convulsion caused by acclimatization and a cold from shock! She's lucky she caught up with me!"
She opened the medicine box and took out a syringe and a small bottle of medicine. "This medicine is expensive. Let her get it for free!"
