After the painless gastroscopy was completed, the anesthesia effect was still there. Yu Mo did not wake up and was still asleep when he was pushed back to the gastroenterology ward.
Lin Meng accompanied him all the way.
The single room was very quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear the dripping of the infusion.
Lin Meng put down what he was holding, closed the door, pulled a chair over, and sat down beside the bed.
She looked at Yu Mo's face.
Because of the anesthesia, the man's breathing was shallow and slow, his lips were pale, and his face was as cold and white as jade.
Lin Meng didn't dare to think about what happened during the day. When she thought about the sharp weapon passing through Yu Mo's body, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She tilted her head and vaguely recalled some things from the past.
It was the beginning of autumn two years ago.
The cold air predicted in the weather forecast hit the inland. City Z, a typical southern city, saw a sharp drop in temperature overnight and the flu was rampant.
Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the air conditioning in the Kars training room has not been fully activated. Lin Meng is a hard-working person. She wears a sweatshirt and ankle-baring boat socks from morning to night and squats in the training room all day.
She would easily get carried away when playing ranked matches to gain points. Not only would she not care about the temperature, she would even forget about eating and drinking. She would play for the entire day. Yu Mo passed by the door of the training room several times and saw the girl wearing a pair of Rascal Rabbit cotton slippers with the heels flattened under her feet, leaving her slender ankles and calves exposed to the air. He really couldn't help but grumble and say a few words of concern.
"Wear long pants and pull up your heels. You know, the cold starts from the soles of your feet." He leaned over and pinched the collar of Lin Meng's sweatshirt: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold wearing such thin clothes?"
Lin Meng: “Yeah, yeah.”
Yu Mo was speechless for a while.
"What the hell are you saying 'hmm'?" He leaned over and raised his hand to block the screen. "Did I give you a true or false question and you said 'hmm'?"
Lin Meng screamed: "Hey hey hey my quad kill!"
Then she heard the sound of being shot dead.
Lin Xiaomeng's face darkened.
She raised her head angrily, and when she met Yu Mo's scrutinizing gaze, she instantly wilted like a deflated ball.
"What are you doing..." She hummed aggrievedly: "I'm about to win!"
"Put on some more clothes before you fight." Yu Mo said, "Who's to blame if you get frozen?"
"I'm not cold!"
"It will be too late when you feel cold!" Yu Mo flipped the switch on the computer screen and said, "Go quickly."
Lin Meng: “…”
The captain is the evil force in life. Lin Xiaomeng is weak, helpless and pitiful, so she has to get up and get her coat.
Yu Mo watched her put on her coat before turning around and leaving, but he didn't know that not long after, Lin Meng felt that the coat was in the way and threw it on the back of the chair and continued to let herself go.
In the middle of the night, Lin Meng began to lose inexplicably. She then realized that her fingers were cold and stiff from the cold. She had no choice but to go back to the dormitory to sleep.
After waking up, Lin Meng started coughing.
At first, she only had intermittent dry coughs. She thought she could bear it and that she could get through it by eating well and sleeping well. Who knew that after two or three days, the symptoms did not improve, but worsened. She coughed more frequently and more violently, and even coughed so hard that her hands trembled, affecting her game operation.
That night, Lin Meng couldn't sleep because of coughing. She got up like a tuberculosis patient and took a long time to look for medicine.
It turned out that she really didn't have any medicine with her.
Lin Meng is the only girl in the Kars player team. Not only is she very competitive, but she is also not very active in interpersonal relationships. Not only can she not say nice things, but she can also be quite harsh when scolding others. Therefore, the male youth trainees don’t have much contact with her and always want to isolate her.
Of course, Lin Meng didn't care whether she interacted with this group of boring males or not, but she didn't know where to go for help at the moment.
At this moment, her cell phone vibrated.
Lin Meng jumped onto the bed and saw that Yu Mo had sent her a message.
[Your coughing is so loud you can hear it all along the hallway. Put on some clothes and come find me in the training room on the third floor.]
Lin Meng blinked.
The training room for official players is on the third floor and is more closed and upscale than the training room for youth trainees.
Yu Mo was the only one in the training room at this time. Everyone else seemed to have gone to sleep. Lin Meng tiptoed in and suddenly felt a little guilty: "Captain..."
Yu Mo was practicing his gun control, clicking the mouse frequently. He stared at the screen expressionlessly and asked, "Did I ever tell you to wear more clothes?"
Lin Meng lowered her head and pitifully fiddled with the zipper of her clothes with her fingers: "I was wrong. I didn't listen to the old man's advice, and now I suffer the consequences."
The "old man" paused, then turned away quietly: "Who are you calling old?"
Lin Meng coughed twice more, her lungs making a "huffing and puffing" sound. She tapped her thin ribs with her hands, and her small body made a crackling sound. She looked so pitiful. Yu Mo was so angry that he took the medicine from the side and handed it to her.
"Amoxicillin, Kechuanning Capsules, Bupleurum Granules." Yu Mo pushed the cup: "This is hot water."
"So many?!" Lin Meng's eyes widened and he kept shouting, "I'm not a sickly person!"
"If you have the guts, why don't you get sick?" Yu Mo sneered.
Lin Meng became listless again, looking at the pile of medicine with hostility. Yu Mo tapped the table with his fingers to urge her, so she had no choice but to break off the tinfoil shells and wash them down one by one with water, choking and stretching her neck.
This was still considered good. The smell of the Bupleurum granules after they were brewed was simply inhumane. Yu Mo found a bowl of instant noodles from somewhere and made her a whole bowl of it.
Lin Meng drank until her belly was full, but there was still some left. She was so bitter that she burst into tears: "Captain!"
"I'm sorry." Yu Mo was a little embarrassed: "I thought it would be easier to drink if it was diluted a little..."
Not only is it difficult to eat, but it also prolongs the suffering process several times.
Lin Xiaomeng pinched her nose and drank the last two sips of Chaihu Decoction. The dog lay in the gaming chair without making a sound, gasping for breath, and only coughed from time to time to remind her that she was still alive.
The instigator Mo Shen felt a little guilty. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait for me." Then he pushed the chair and stood up to go back to the bedroom.
After a moment he came out with a quaint glass jar.
"I remember now," he said, "Here's my mom's magic cough medicine. She said it's not available anywhere else, so my dad brought it back for her when he was on a business trip." After a pause, he added seductively, "It's delicious!"
"Ah." Lin Meng was not interested.
"Come, try it." Yu Mo opened the jar, took a spoon and scooped out a large amount of sticky syrup, and diligently put it to Lin Meng's mouth.
Lin Meng pursed her lips tightly, her face full of rejection.
"Be obedient, the captain won't hurt you." Yu Mo half coaxed and half lied, "Come on, open your mouth~~"
Lin Mengsheng let out a desperate "Awoo" and took the spoon into his mouth.
The syrup on the spoon was very sweet and had a hard texture, like malt sugar. Lin Meng chewed it twice and felt like it was stuck to his teeth.
"How does it feel?" Yu Mo was very excited.
Lin Meng swallowed several times, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his face turned dark.
"I think it seems to be working. You don't cough anymore." Yu Mo stirred the spoon eagerly: "Another sip."
Lin Meng shook her head vigorously and said incoherently: "Too sweet, sticky to my teeth——"
"This is how you eat Nianci Temple's loquat paste. You have to swallow it. Once it gets stuck in your throat, you won't want to cough," said Yu Mo.
Lin Meng said in despair, "It's really sticky to my teeth and my tongue is sore."
Yu Mo lifted the jar suspiciously and examined it, "That shouldn't be the case. Aren't snow pear paste and loquat paste the same thing? Your teeth are too bad." He turned the jar and saw a few large characters written on the front.
[Ingenious pear paste, ten-year tangerine peel, consumption method: brew with boiling water]
Yu Mo: “…”
Lin Meng: “…”
Lin Meng felt like she was about to be raised to death by Yu Mo.
She opened two bottles of mouthwash and rinsed her mouth frantically. It took her a long time to speak with less slurred speech, but she did cough less. She didn't know which medicine had worked. She returned to the training room and saw Yu Mo practicing gun control again.
"Go back and go to bed early." Yu Mo looked at the screen without looking at her.
"When will you sleep?" Lin Meng didn't move.
"I'll hold on for another ten minutes." Yu Mo said, "It's the group stage soon, and my touch hasn't been very stable lately."
Lin Meng looked at the man's thin wrist. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the skin on Yu Mo's radial styloid process seemed a little red.
"Captain, why don't you take a rest?" She couldn't help but say, "Don't you say we should combine work and rest?"
Yu Mo paused and looked over sideways.
"Got it, just ten minutes." He smiled and patted Lin Meng on the head. "You're welcome to call me in ten minutes to supervise."
Lin Meng's ears turned a little red. She lowered her eyes and said "Oh" obediently.
She turned and walked out of the training room when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
"Silence?"
The team's assistant hurried downstairs in his pajamas. He seemed to have woken up from thirst and got up in the middle of the night to get some water. He passed by the training room and leaned on the door to peek in: "Are you still awake?"
Yu Mo's lips curled up unconsciously, and she glanced at him twice: "Yes, I am working hard."
"You're not giving people a way to survive." The other person laughed: "Then I'm going to sleep, good night."
Yu Mo waved at him.
After a long time, the footsteps in the corridor completely disappeared.
Yu Mo then turned around and smiled at the computer desk: "Hey, he's gone, can you come out now?"
Lin Meng crouched down, holding onto the edge of the table with both hands. After hearing what he said, she cautiously poked her head out and looked around: "He's really gone."
"Let's go." Yu Mo laughed as he opened a game. "Why are you so guilty? You just took some cold medicine from me, didn't you?"
Lin Meng: "I..."
Yu Mo continued to laugh: "I don't know why you thought we were doing something unspeakable here."
…
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
This big pig's hoof...
"What are you thinking about..." said the big pig's hoof.
Lin Meng was startled and turned around to see that the man had woken up at some point. He had half-opened his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at her tenderly.
The effect of the anesthetic had just worn off. Yu Mo looked very weak, and his voice was hoarse and low. Lin Meng didn't expect that the first thing he said after waking up was to ask her.
"I……"
She found herself choking up a little.
Yu Mo took a long breath, as if he had gathered some strength, and raised the corners of his colorless lips.
"I'm fine..." he said with his eyes closed.
"Hello, sir!" Lin Meng suddenly became angry and jumped to the ground. "How can you be okay after drinking a bunch of blades? Who are you kidding?"
Her question echoed slightly in the quiet ward.
"...Then I... am a little bit bad." Yu Mo's eyes trembled, and he felt a little helpless.
"It's still a little bit bad..." Lin Meng sniffed hard: "It's good that it's not good..."
Yu Mo: "You..."
Lin Meng couldn't hold it in for a moment, and threw herself on the bed, rubbing her eyes vigorously with her hands: "I'm really fed up with you, I'm almost dying of guilt, anger, and resentment——"
Her angry shouts came to an abrupt end.
Yu Mo moved a finger out from under the thick quilt and gently scratched the back of her hand.
"Don't be like this..." the man said softly.
This seemed to be the only action he could do at the moment with all his strength, and it had a strong soothing effect.
Lin Meng was stunned.
"What do you want? I'll get it for you?" She opened her red eyes and said in a cold voice.
Yu Mo shook his head slightly, and at this moment, his cell phone on the small sofa rang.
Lin Meng jumped up to help him get his phone, and the caller ID showed it was Ji Yan.
"This..." Lin Meng looked at him a little at a loss.
"Help me answer it..." Yu Mo said.
"But what are you going to say to me when you pick me up?" Lin Meng said in panic: "You look like this—"
Yu Mo shook his head, as if extremely tired, and said nothing more.
Lin Meng was heartbroken. Knowing that Yu Mo didn't want Ji Yan to worry, she hesitated for two seconds and then pressed the answer button.
"Hello?" she said cautiously.
"Yu Mo—eh?" Ms. Ji reacted quickly: "Who are you?"
"Lin Meng! Oh no, I mean... I'm the captain's former substitute!" Lin Meng stammered, "No, no, no, that doesn't count... Anyway... Good evening, Auntie!"
What a messed up opening statement!
Lin Meng wanted to blow both of her brains out.
You can't even properly introduce yourself! Lin Xiaomeng, you idiot!
Ji Yan was silent for two seconds, then laughed: "Are you the little girl who got lost in front of our house that day?"
"Hey?" Lin Meng said, "Yes, right."
"You're with Yu Mo?" Ji Yan asked with a smile, "Is it convenient for him to answer the phone now?"
Lin Meng glanced at the patient number on the bed: "This..."
"Oh, I understand." Ji Yan said quickly: "It's inconvenient, forget it. When you two are free later, tell him that Mrs. Shen and I are going out to play."
Lin Meng wondered what was wrong with this statement: "Oh, okay."
"Hey, Little Lemon, Auntie's card number at Northton is xxxxxx, and the password is four sixes. Senior members enjoy full room service." Ji Yan said, "Remember that. I'm hanging up now."
Lin Meng: “…Hey, Auntie!”
Ms. Ji said she would hang up without mercy.
Lin Meng: “…”
Yu Mo: She feels like my biological mother, but not my biological mother either.
