moonlight lure

[You are so selfish! You are so selfish! Growing up, have any of you considered my feelings? I can't fit in here at all! Some people are harassing me, some are isolating me. Do you know that I am in pain and going crazy here? ]

[Where are the patient’s family members? Why is the family member a child? Your mother's condition is very critical. Call your family immediately! ]

[Doctor, there are no adults at home. ]

[Mom...I'm sorry, I was wrong. ]

[I don’t have a single family member left. Please don’t go, don’t leave me, okay? ]

[He is not your father! He is my only father! Otherwise, why are he and your mother not a family? ]

[Weiwei, you are very busy studying in high school now. Your brother is still young and will disturb you. Do you want to go live with your aunt? Dad will pick you up again on the weekend? ]

[Shi Wei, your father is very busy at work, and your brother is still young and needs someone to take care of you. The best thing you can do is solve your own problems. You will soon become an adult and you should learn to be independent. Is Auntie right? ]

[Sorry, she is not as beautiful as you, nor as good as you, but she is sincere to me, and I don’t want to fall in love with a perfect dummy. ]

[You should also look for your own problems. Is it all my fault that we have come to this point? ]

[You can consider seeing a psychiatrist. I sympathize with your childhood experience, but I'm not the one who can cure you. I'm sorry. ]

[Why should others pay for your own injuries? Is this fair to me? Could it be that my life has been smooth sailing until now? Who has no pain in the past? Can you be more mature? ]

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. After an unknown amount of time, there was finally the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, interrupting her long and painful nightmare.

Ji Yanchen took off his raincoat and threw it outside the door. After coming in, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands first, then approached the bed with water and medicine and called her softly: "Weiwei."

The person on the bed turned his back to him and did not respond. He leaned over and pulled away the corner of the quilt that she was clinging to, and his heart suddenly tightened: "Why are you crying? Does your stomach still hurt a lot?"

She heard his voice and slowly opened her eyes, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Feeling distressed and blaming himself, he helped her sit up and whispered with a calm expression, "I'm sorry, I came back too late. Take the medicine first."

She leaned on the bed and swallowed several pills in his hand, took a sip of water and swallowed it with a painful expression. She also limply slid back into the quilt, closing her eyes and saying nothing.

Ji Yanchen took a tissue and gently wiped away the tears on her face. He looked at her worriedly for a long time. Seeing that her mood seemed to have stabilized, he got up and went to the bathroom to dry her hair. When he came back, he saw her frowning slightly, her face wet with tears again, her expression more depressed and sad than ever before. Even if he didn't see those eyes, he could still imagine the sadness and grievance in her eyes at this moment.

Even the most obtuse person should have figured out by now that she was not crying because of any physical discomfort. His heart was suffocating, so he sat down beside the bed in silence, took out a tissue and gently pressed it to the corner of her eyes.

She felt his movement, her lips opened slightly, and her voice was very thin and soft, with a moist nasal tone: "Don't go."

"Don't go."

He leaned over and kissed her forehead, his face was solemn and cautious, he held her hand in his big hand and whispered, "Go to sleep, I'll stay with you."

Her slender fingers gently hooked his palm, seeming to feel a little at peace because of his assurance. Her tears finally stopped, and she fell asleep with steady breathing.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her face quietly, not looking away from the beginning to the end.

When Song Shiwei woke up the next morning, she no longer felt any pain or discomfort in her body, but she was very weak and had little strength.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, gradually recalling what happened last night. She turned her head and saw him lying on his side on the edge of the bed, his arms hugging her through the quilt. She felt her subtle movements and opened her eyes sleepily: " ...Are you feeling better?"

She hummed, looking at his slightly tired face, feeling a little guilty.

He came closer and rubbed his lips against her cheek: "Are you hungry?"

She shook her head and turned to face him: "I don't want to eat it now."

He whispered: "Then take a rest in the morning and then go out to meet them at noon."

She said hello and then asked: "When will we go back?"

He said: "We will go back after dinner with everyone. If you want to go home and rest, we will go back early."

"Let's join everyone."

After last night's heavy rain, the weather today is much clearer than yesterday. Song Shiwei also wanted to go to the beach for a walk again. She raised her hand and gently covered his arm, "You should also rest for a while."

Ji Yanchen laughed, hugged her tightly and kissed her ear: "Hey, does my girlfriend feel sorry for me?"

She didn't answer, she quietly pressed her arms into his arms and asked softly: "Why did you come up suddenly last night?"

She vaguely remembered his expression when she opened the door, as if he had expected that she would be uncomfortable. He said calmly: "Because we have a tacit understanding." She said softly: "Aren't you planning something evil?"

Ji Yanchen laughed: "Well, you discovered it." She hooked his sleeves and said coquettishly: "Hurry up, tell me."

He forced her to kiss him in exchange, and then pointed to his ear.

"listen."

Song Shiwei was stunned for a few seconds, "Did you hear me vomiting?"

Ji Yanchen was so stupid that she laughed and bit the tip of her nose helplessly: "I was downstairs and heard you flushing the water."

In less than ten minutes, she rushed three or four times. He felt that something was not right with her. When he knocked on the door, he saw that she was furious, her face was pale, and she looked like she was going to faint at any time.

Song Shiwei was a little surprised and sincerely praised: "Officer Ji's investigative ability is not bad."

"of course."

He twitched his lips arrogantly, then turned his face and kissed the palm of her hand.

She was quiet for a moment and then asked, "Where did the medicine come from?"

She didn't see a pharmacy nearby, and it rained heavily last night, so it wasn't safe for him to drive back to the city.

"Ask someone to borrow it."

Ji Yanchen made an understatement and changed the topic, "I will be training in a closed training next week. No one can come out. I will contact you during the break."

Song Shiwei nodded: "Are you in the city?"

He said: "Not in the city, but at the training ground in the county."

"How many days?"

"One week." He asked jokingly, "Do your family members want to come visit?"

"I can't get in."

Song Shiwei thought for a while and said, "But I can pick you up on the day it ends, if you allow you to move freely."

Ji Yanchen chuckled and kissed her hard on the cheek: "Okay, then I'll train with peace of mind and wait for my kid to pick me up and take me home."

The two of them talked quietly on the bed for a long time, and they didn't get up until the afternoon.

Song Shiwei took a bath and felt much refreshed. She went downstairs and ate half a bowl of vegetarian noodles cooked by Ji Yanchen, and the two of them caught up with the group and stayed at the beach for half an afternoon.
