Shen Huai was a patient,
He couldn't get up to greet Ren Xuanyu,
He asked Ren Xuanyu to go out and find a hotel to stay,
But Ren Xuanyu didn't want to do it. He grabbed a rattan chair and sat beside Shen Huai's bed,
He pursed his lips.
"I'm not going anywhere. I haven't seen you for so long,
I can just watch you. "
Shen Huai glanced at him from the corner of his eyes,
He turned his back to Ren Xuanyu.
"Up to you."
It was already February, and the Spring Festival was approaching in China,
But this place didn't even have a human touch, let alone a festive atmosphere. The weather was extremely hot,
The language was unfamiliar, the skin color was different, the facilities were outdated, and the environment was messy. This ward was already the best single room in the hospital, but the curtain rod was broken. The light from outside the hospital building shone in and spread out on Shen Huai's eyelids.
Shen Huai couldn't sleep,
His eyes were open, and his vision was filled with the dark night,
But his mind was a sea of fire, rushing at his falling chandelier and the white mist that Lin Yuan exhaled on the oxygen mask before he died,
His eyes were wide open,
It hurt a little,
Of course, it couldn't compare to the pain of being smoked by smoke and hot air, but it was like an inescapable omen that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Shen Huai forced himself to close his eyes, but his heart was restless, and the wounds all over his body were hurting one after another. He still couldn't fall asleep. After lying like this for about twenty minutes, there was a rustling sound behind him.
It was Ren Xuanyu. He got up from the rattan chair and carefully supported himself on the bed with both hands. This bed was not much more high-end than the curtain rod, and the movement was not small. It seemed to have startled him. After a long time, he moved again. He stretched out a hand and approached Shen Huai's face. Shen Huai closed his eyes. His other four senses were even sharper. He could hear Ren Xuanyu's extremely shallow breathing and feel the slight tremble of the hand.
Then, in a moment that Shen Huai couldn't tell whether it was fear or anticipation, Ren Xuanyu stretched out his index finger and gently touched Shen Huai's sideburns. He picked up the short clump of hair on his fingertips. Shen Huai's hair was relatively soft among men, but it was so short that it still slid down his fingers again and again. Ren Kinyu hesitated for a long time on this senseless hair before she could not bear it any longer and gently placed her fingers on Shen Huai's face. Little by little, she touched it as if she was neither too close nor too far away.
He had been thinking about Shen Huai for several months. The moment he rushed into the ward and turned on the light, he wanted to hug Shen Huai, stroke his spine hard, press his waist tightly, and press him tightly against himself. Then, without looking, he could find his lips and kiss him.
But he didn't dare to. The way Shen Huai looked at him, there was a nostalgia after a long time, but there was also a sense of wariness. He had injured Shen Huai, although he still did not know exactly where he had injured Shen Huai and how deep the injury was. He came to see him because he wanted to figure this out.
At the moment, Ren Xuanyu only dared to touch him sneakily like this. He touched his face and thought, "His hair has been cut, and he's not in the mood to cut his hair because he misses me. Even his chin is clean. In fact, he looks sexy with a beard."
Ren Xuanyu didn't dare to linger for too long. He was afraid that if he woke him up, Shen Huai would make sarcastic remarks to him again. He shrank back, but then he couldn't see Shen Huai's face. So, he carefully picked up the rattan chair and went to the other side of the bed. As soon as he put the chair down, Shen Huai turned over on the bed.
Ren Xuanyu opened his mouth and sighed silently. He picked up the chair and went back. But this time, as soon as he sat down, Shen Huai turned over on the bed again.
Ren Xuanyu was speechless.
Since Shen Huai was awake, did he tolerate those actions just now?
Ren Xuanyu jumped directly on the bed like a dog that saw a Frisbee fly out. The bed was not stable to begin with. Bearing his weight and impact, it let out a frightening wail. Shen Huai was scared twice in one night. He immediately kicked Ren Xuanyu off the bed with his leg that was not tied with a plank.
This was the second time that Ren Xuanyu was kicked off the bed by Shen Huai. The first time, he was in fear and trepidation. The second time, he got up from the ground as if nothing had happened. He patted his pants and sat down obediently, looking like he was enjoying it.
"Go to sleep. I'll watch over you …"
Shen Huai glared at Ren Xuanyu's face, which was smiling brightly. He turned around and went to sleep. Then, he heard Ren Xuanyu add a sentence behind his back.
"I'll always watch over you."
Tsk.
Shen Huai smacked his lips in disgust and contempt.
***
Shen Huai did not allow the hospital to arrange a foldable bed for him. Ren Xuanyu had slept for two nights and the chair could no longer support him. He rented a hotel room near the hospital, but except for going back to sleep, he spent the rest of his time in Shen Huai's ward. Shen Huai told him that he was not familiar with the place and the language, so he did not want to wander around.
Ren Xuanyu felt that this time, Shen Huai's attitude was not bad. Although he refused very clearly and did not agree to reconcile, he did not say harsh words to him and did not ask him to leave. This was enough. He stayed there happily. Seeing that the Spring Festival was approaching, his thoughts became more and more active. He wanted to spend the Spring Festival with Shen Huai. In this foreign country, he wanted to celebrate the Chinese Reunion Festival with Shen Huai, just like the people closest to him.
Ren Xuanyu asked Cheng Pei where he could buy things for the Spring Festival. These days, Cheng Pei had been indifferent to him. He did not look like a fan at all. Today, however, he looked at him meaningfully and stopped what he was doing.
"I'll go with you. I want to buy things too."
Ren Xuanyu looked at her and nodded. She looked away uncomfortably.
The city was very small. Chinatown was near the hospital. They walked there. On the way, Cheng Pei wanted to say something but stopped several times. Obviously, he wanted to say something but could not find the right time. Later, they walked into a supermarket opened by Chinese. Standing in front of a lot of shelves with Chinese characters of fortune and couplets, Ren Xuanyu deliberately led her.
"If he doesn't go home for the Spring Festival, will his family come? His sister? "
"No, Lin Yuan had an accident. This place and the Shen clan are in a mess. Shen Ke has to stay there to deal with it. He also has to prevent the two useless brothers of the boss from having any ideas. The old master is not in good health, so he will not make trouble."
Ren Xuanyu pursed his lips and nodded. He did not speak anymore. Cheng Pei was angry as expected.
"Boss Shen, he..."
Cheng Pei no longer called Shen Huai "boss" intimately. She was from the south, and her voice was a little gentle when she said "boss", like a nickname. But when she said "Boss Shen", it was with respect, just like Lao Hu.
She paused for a moment, probably considering whether it was appropriate for her to say what she wanted to say next. After a pause, she continued.
"I have been working for Boss Shen for many years. Since I graduated, although he looks sloppy, he is very capable. He is the one who brought me from a newbie who knows nothing to where I am now. Last year, a rival company poached me and offered me the position of regional president. I didn't leave. First, Boss Shen offered me a higher salary, so high that they could not imagine it was the salary of an assistant. Second, regional president sounds nice, but the information and resources I can get in touch with are definitely not as much as I, Boss Shen, can get in touch with. It took me many years to gain his trust and put him in an important position, although I have to bear the messy trifles in his private life, such as helping him choose gifts for his lover and waking him up." Cheng Pei wrinkled her nose with a look of disgust. "To be honest, I thought about it two years ago. I already have the ability, the network, and the experience. If I go out and start a small company by myself, there will be risks, but I will be doing things for myself. I tried it secretly, looking for partners, planning the process, but in the end, nothing came of it."
"Why?" Ren Xuanyu asked. "It's too tiring.
"It's too tiring. It's too tiring to find a satisfactory partner. I interact with Mr. Shen every day, and he's such a smart and meticulous person. I can't put up with those petty and unreasonable people. I can't take it anymore. Besides, I'm timid when it comes to predicting the risks of entrepreneurship. Shen Huai might encounter those risks every day, and I can help him solve some of them. If I can't, he'll solve them himself. He's training me to be independent and become his right-hand man, but he's also taking care of me. When I'm anxious, he'll order me to buy a necklace for his lover, and then he'll stay up all night in the office."
Cheng Pei looked at Ren Xuanyu, and there was a hint of complaint and warning in her eyes.
"He changes lovers like water, and he chases his own brother out of the door. But he is a very good person." She felt that her words were a little contradictory, so she tried to change her words. "He is a very good boss. The people who work with him are the same for years, and they will not betray him. Because he is generous enough, and also because he can't bear to let them go. He is sincere and gentle, and he is willing to do things for others.
Ren Xuanyu knew what she was going to say.
Cheng Pei bit her lip, like a woman who was asking for an explanation for her brother or child.
"How can you bear to let him go?"
Ren Xuanyu smiled and asked another question. "He is affectionate to his colleagues, but he has always been indifferent to his lovers. Why do you think that I abandoned him?"
Cheng Pei said angrily, "At that time, he did not look like a human. He drank every day, did nothing, and slept in the bathroom for the whole night with the toilet. I have never seen him like that, so useless …" When Cheng Pei said this, she realized that she should not show her timidity in front of Ren Xuanyu, but Ren Xuanyu's eyes were already shining, and his face was full of surprise.
"Really? He drank because of me, and because of me, he fell into depression? "
Cheng Pei controlled her expression and raised her eyebrows. "But he recovered very quickly."
Ren Xuanyu could not listen to her anymore. He asked for details anxiously, like a child asking what was in the gift box. Seeing him like this, Cheng Pei became even angrier.
"What's the use of being so attentive now? Why did you let him down at that time?"
Ren Xuanyu paused.
"I did let him down … but I love him. What can I do …"
"Nonsense. If you love him, how could you let him down?" Looking at the handsome face of Ren Xuanyu, Cheng Pei had the illusion of falling into a romantic drama. She felt very empathetic.
There was an expression between confusion and fear on Ren Xuanyu's face.
"You say you love him while hurting him. The essence is selfishness and possessiveness. It has nothing to do with love … I get it. Is this how you let my boss down?"
Ren Xuanyu pursed his lips and said nothing, but Cheng Pei could not help blushing.
