……

It was around nine o'clock in the evening. The moon had already set and the sky was pitch black. Many students were walking on the road with their lights on. The lights were flashing faintly on the wet road surface. The wind was howling in the deep winter night, penetrating directly into the clothes, making people always feel that the clothes they were wearing were damp and cold.

"Oh, this weather is freezing cold."

"But~ isn't it~ my teeth are chattering when I talk now~" the man said and heard the "clack" sound of teeth colliding.

The person next to him laughed, "It's too cold. The temperature is so low now that it feels like it's going to snow. I don't know if the snow will block the road and prevent us from going back?" As he said this, the person seemed to find it interesting and laughed out loud.

"Stop being such a phoenix and talk less!"

The evening class had just ended, and the students who had been attending classes together in the winter camp came out of the classroom where the teacher was giving the lecture one after another, all with their shoulders hunched.

Cheng Si was walking on the road in a daze. He might have caught a cold yesterday and now he had a cold. When the night wind blew, he wrapped his clothes tightly and felt the continuous cold.

Xin Yisong walked beside him, and seeing that he was listless, he asked with concern, "Do you want to go to the small clinic here for a checkup?"

Although this place is relatively empty, it still has some infrastructure. They have been here for five days. During their lunch break, the weather was slightly warm and sunny, so they walked around curiously.

There are quite a lot of small buildings here, including a small supermarket, a medical clinic, and a small canteen where they usually eat. To sum it up in one sentence: although small, it has everything.

After hearing what he said, Cheng Si thought about the infirmary which was quite far away from them and shook his head, "I'll just go back and take some medicine." He was very cold now and didn't want to stay outside for long. He just wanted to go back and rest early.

Seeing him like this, Xin Yisong didn't insist anymore.

"I'm going to sleep first," Cheng Si returned to the room and took off his cold down jacket. He lay down under the quilt beside his bed and curled up uncomfortably.

Xin Yisong was stunned, but ignored him for the time being and went to boil a pot of water.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xin Yisong walked forward to open the door. Seeing that it was Sheng Zhe, he said helplessly, "Did you forget to bring the key again?" His tone sounded a little familiar.

The reason why Xin Yisong asked this was because this person was left standing at the door for a long time for the first time because he didn't bring his keys, while the other three of them were still doing their homework in the classroom.

It happened that Xin Yisong was the first one to come back that day. He saw Sheng Zhe squatting at the door smoking. When this man saw Xin Yisong coming, he smiled and said, "Finally, someone is back." His tone was calm and he didn't look like he was about to lose his temper.

Xin Yisong had a new opinion of this man. Looking at the tip of his nose that was reddened by the wind, he suddenly felt guilty. He paused and said, "Next time, don't wait here without your key. You can go to the classroom and ask for it."

After hearing this, Sheng Zhe said "Oh", "Too troublesome." His tone was very lazy.

Xin Yisong said helplessly as he opened the door, "Then you can't wait here."

When the two entered the room, Sheng Zhe laughed, "You are quite nosy."

Seeing that he was not making sense, Xin Yisong simply stopped trying to talk to him and walked towards his bed, when suddenly someone grabbed the corner of his clothes.

He was stunned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Add WeChat," Sheng Zhe took out his phone and gestured. Xin Yisong suddenly felt confused. Before he could say anything,

Sheng Zhe continued, "It's okay if you don't want to add me. When I don't have my keys with me, I will just tag you in the group chat."

After hearing this, Xin Yisong thought of the social death scene and said proactively, "I'll sweep you."

Sheng Zhe curled his lips slightly, "Okay."

Since then, this person often sent him messages without bringing his keys, so Xin Yisong had to come back early every time. The two of them became more familiar with each other. Today, because Cheng Si was not feeling well, the two of them came back early after class.

Sheng Zhe smiled without reacting to Xin Yisong's helpless tone, "I brought a lot of midnight snacks today, would you like to eat some together?"

"What's that midnight snack?" Xin Yisong leaned in and sniffed it. "It smells pretty good."

Sheng Zhe shrugged, "Chicken wings and grilled fish."

Xin Yisong's eyes brightened after hearing this, "Where did you buy it?" It has been a long time since he last ate something that sounded appetizing. He can be said to have turned into Su Luoyin now.

"I borrowed the kitchen and made it myself."

Xin Yisong didn't ask anything else. He set up a table for Shengzhe to sit on. He looked at the food on the table that was enough for four people and asked, "Shall I call my brother and ask him to come back early to eat together?" Xin Yisong still asked politely.

Their signal is very poor, but they can still make calls and it doesn't have much impact.

Sheng Zhe glanced at him and said, "As long as you like."

Xin Yisong thought this was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it and called his brother.

When the other end picked him up, he was told to come back early for a midnight snack. He glanced at the table and added, "Remember to go to the mini-market and bring back some drinks."

After Xin Yisong finished the call, he went to check on Cheng Si. Seeing that he had his eyes closed, he didn't know whether he was asleep or not. He asked tentatively, "Cheng Si, are you still awake?"

Cheng Si had a headache. He vaguely heard Xin Yisong calling him and said "hmm".

"Would you like a midnight snack?"

Cheng Si opened his eyes a little when he heard this, but was blinded by the light and closed them again. He whispered, "I have no appetite. You guys eat."

Xin Yisong walked forward and touched his forehead, feeling a little hot. He frowned and said, "Cheng Si, you seem to have a low-grade fever. Do you want to go see a doctor?"

Cheng Si also became stubborn and shook his head, not wanting to go out. "It's okay. Can you get me some medicine?"

Xin Yisong had no choice but to get him some medicine, then poured him a cup of hot water, put it on the table next to him, and patted him lightly.

Cheng Si slowly sat up, took the medicine handed to him by Xin Yisong, thanked him, and then swallowed the medicine with water.

Xin Yisong waited for him to finish taking the medicine, let him have a good rest, and then said, "If you feel uncomfortable, call me."

Cheng Si nodded, lay down and covered himself with the quilt. He could hear faint voices, and not sure if it was because of illness or the medicine he had taken, but after a while he fell into a deep sleep.

Cheng Si opened his eyes again because he was awakened by the fever. He thought that his fever might be quite serious. He slowly got out of bed and looked at the sky outside. It was a grayish hue.

There was no light in the room. Cheng Si groped in the dark, turned on the flashlight on his cell phone, took a fever-reducing pill from the cupboard, and drank it with half a cup of cool water next to it.

After eating, he lay back down and looked at the time on his phone. It was past 5 o'clock, and there were still two or three hours before dawn. He flipped through his phone and was now a little more sober. He remembered that he did not call Jin Li yesterday, and he didn't know if this man had contacted him.

He opened the phone records and found a missed call from Jin Li. After thinking about it, he sent a text message, Cheng Si: I went to bed early yesterday and didn’t answer the call.

Cheng Si didn't dare to tell the truth for fear of worrying Jin Li, and completely forgot that it was actually a bit strange to send a message at this time.

He waited for a while but the other party didn't respond, so he stopped paying attention.

His bones were now burning with pain, and he thought uncomfortably that if the pain didn't get better by dawn, he would go to the small clinic to get an IV.

Cheng Si just stared at the ceiling in the dim light, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again, perhaps because the medicine took effect and he didn't feel so uncomfortable.
