Ye Zhiqiu was afraid that he would disturb the wound. Holding his hand, he helped him up and took the pillow behind him.

Huo Zhongxiao pinched her right shoulder blade with her left hand when she put the pillow.

This little move was noticed by Ye Zhiqiu. She looked at his bandaged arm with some worry. "Did you touch the wound? If it hurts, I'll call a doctor to have a look."

Huo Zhongxiao shook his head, put down his hand and said, "nothing, just a little unaccustomed."

"Now I know I'm not used to it. Why are you so skilled when you drag people?"

"..." Huo Zhongxiao leaned back against the bed. He took Ye Zhiqiu's small hand and gently squeezed it. His voice was deliberately lowered by him: "worried?"

Ye Zhiqiu didn't say anything, but he didn't shake his hand.

Then the door of the ward opened.

Almost at the same time, ye Zhiqiu took back her hand from Huo Zhongxiao's palm. She stood up and looked at the door. Yao lie and a male doctor came in.

Yao lie explained: "Dr. Tao wants to check his second brother."

Although Huo Zhongxiao's trauma was sutured, the possibility of internal injury during the grenade explosion could not be ruled out. Seeing the doctor who was already wearing gloves, he could not help taking off Huo Zhongxiao's clothes. Ye Zhiqiu looked at the sleeping rouge and took the thermos bottle on the bedside table: "I'll get a pot of water."

Yao lie followed her out of the ward and concealed the door: "in fact, he has taken a film, and there is no problem. Now it is a routine inspection, so that everyone can rest assured."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "I know." after that, she went to the tea room.

……

After getting the water, ye Zhiqiu didn't go back to the ward immediately.

She looked at the time and felt that the inspection should not be over. She went out of the tea room and lit a cigarette near the window.

This is the first time she smokes in nearly a month.

Ye Zhiqiu's addiction to smoking is not heavy. He smokes one occasionally when he is upset.

She vomited a white mist at the red sunset outside. She was just about to put out her cigarette butts and throw them into the trash can. The elevator door opened next to her. A man with white temples and a white coat came out. Inside, he was in a straight military uniform. He looked more than 60 years old. When she saw the girl smoking by the window, her steps were slightly stopped and her eyebrows could not help wrinkling.

Ye Zhiqiu also looked at each other and didn't know each other. Then he heard a nurse shouting "academician Lu" when she passed by.

Then, academician Lu pointed to the cigarette in Ye Zhiqiu's hand: "if you want to smoke outside, smoking is not allowed in the inpatient building."

With that, he left.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the burning cigarette between her fingers. She saw the no smoking sign in the corner on one side. She didn't pay attention just now. She threw the cigarette butts into the trash can. As for the others, she didn't care. She went back to the tea room to get the hot water bottle.

——

Ye Zhiqiu returns to the ward. The doctor has left. Lu Hanyan is sitting by the bed shaking his legs and talking to Huo Zhongxiao.

Seeing her cousin, Lu Hanyan jumped out of bed shyly, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Ye Zhiqiu watched her run into the bathroom. When he looked back, he found Huo Zhongxiao holding a piece of paper in his hand and glanced curiously: "what?"

Huo Zhongxiao smiled, looked down at the big turtle on the paper and said, "rouge gave it to me."

Ye Zhiqiu thought of what Lu Hanyan said one night and said that she had made a painting for Huo Zhongxiao, but she didn't expect that Lu Hanyan had secretly put the painting in Fengcheng.

She took the picture and looked at it, but she stroked a man's hand on her cheek.

Ye Zhiqiu looked up.

Huo Zhongxiao gently stroked her face. He said, "I'm thin."

Ye Zhiqiu's nose was suddenly sour. She looked at the gauze on his cheekbones on his left face and muttered, "it's better to be thin than disfigured. It's not good-looking. If you leave a scar in the future, it's really slow to sell goods."

Huo Zhongxiao smiled low, and the corners of his mouth bent: "then you can return it now."

Ye Zhiqiu leaned over and put her arms around his neck. Her eyes were warm. She buried her head in his neck. "Does it still hurt?"

"A little."

Huo Zhongxiao's answer was very honest. He raised his left hand and covered her thin back: "but I can't help it."

That day, ye Zhiqiu left the hospital very late with rouge.

Huo Zhongxiao's injury is still hidden from his family, so she doesn't need to avoid suspicion.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't return to the capital of Xingyu. She found a hotel near the hospital and took a bath. Lu Hanyan's spirit was still very good. She didn't feel tired after a long journey. She was wearing a broken flower nightgown and sighed with Ye Zhiqiu: "Huo Zhongxiao is so poor that no one was with him when he was ill."

The little girl lay at the end of the bed and asked her cousin who was packing up: "shall we go to see Huo Zhongxiao tomorrow?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought she was tired, so he said, "if you want to rest in the hotel, I'll come back to you at lunch."

“……”

Lu Hanyan tooted his mouth, rolled on the bed, then rolled back and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't go to see him." he was a little reproachful.

Ye Zhiqiu scraped her small nose: "if you want to see him, go to bed early."

"Oh."

Lu Hanyan climbed into the quilt and suddenly said, "Qiuqiu, my uncle called you just now. You were taking a bath, so I answered it for you."

Ye Zhiqiu took his cell phone to turn over the call records when he coaxed rouge to sleep.

When she left home, she told aunt fan that she was going away, which was a very general statement. However, whether ye Jiming or ye zanwen, they may have guessed that she came to Fengcheng. She not only came by herself, but also brought her little cousin. Ye zanwen called to order her to take Rouge back quickly or scold her severely.

Therefore, ye Zhiqiu didn't call back. She pressed turn off before putting her mobile phone back.
