underground river

"What's wrong?" Guan Yan turned around and asked.

Xu Xu followed his line of sight and looked over.

Si Nan retracted his gaze and hesitated for two seconds——

"You guys get off first, wait for me at the gate of the hospital, I'll go to the toilet."

"Success, hurry up!"

"Ah."

Sinan watched the elevator go down to the first floor, then pursed his lips and pushed open the door of the emergency exit.

His footsteps were very light, the answering lights in the corridor were not on, and his vision was pitch black with nothing.

The heart beat faster and faster, and a thin layer of sweat soaked into the palms.

He went down another floor, and just passed the corner of the stairs, his steps stopped - a tall and thin black figure stood at the corner of the downstairs wall. Half of his brows and eyes were vaguely reflected, it was Chen Sen.

Sinan sighed inwardly, the old elder.

Chen Sen hid in the darkness and greeted him.

"You're here."

The voice was hoarse and outrageous.

Sinan walked down the steps and stood in front of him.

I don't know if the corridor lights are broken, but they haven't been turned on from the beginning to the end.

"When did you come?"

"Just here."

"You came with Guan Yan?"

"Well, Xu Xu is here too."

After the superficial greeting, the two remained silent for a long time.

There was already a pile of cigarette butts under Chen Sen's feet, and this one in his hand was his last one.His eyes were slightly dimmed by the smog, and his expression was dimly exhausted and listless.

He has lost weight.

Si Nan touched it inch by inch with his eyes, the corner of his jaw was sharp as if it was only covered with a layer of skin.

"How did you find me?"

"Feel."

"Feel?"

"Ah."

After standing for too long, Chen Sen's injured leg couldn't take it anymore, and he swayed slightly when moving his body. Sinan hurriedly supported him and let him lean on his body.

Chen Sen was not polite, and most of his weight was on Sinan.

Si Nan looked down at his right leg which was in plaster.

"How is the recovery?"

"Alright."

"What did you say to your aunt?"

"Heroes save beauty."

"..."

In silence, the two looked at each other and smiled.

When people start to feel a certain feeling in the moment in meditation, the passage of time will be particularly obvious.

The silent atmosphere in front of him made Sinan enjoy and rejoice, but it also made him uneasy and anxious.

Chen Sen yawned: "I'm sleepy."

But there was no intention of getting up from him in the slightest.

Si Nan sighed, resignedly dragged his arm to his shoulder, bent down, and carried Chen Sen on his back.

The road is not long, just a short distance.

Sinan carried him to the door of the ward and put him down. It was only then that he could see clearly how thin the person in front of him looked like.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Chen Sen was wearing a thin linen singlet with a slightly open neckline, revealing his pale skin and thin collarbone. His shoulders were thin and protruding, making him extremely thin.

Si Nan's heart was throbbing in pain, and he tried his best to maintain his facial expression.

Without saying a word, he took off his coat and put it on Chen Sen, and then took off the scarf and wrapped it around his neck a few times, covering most of the boy's face.

Chen Sen was very obedient at this time, and he let him play without saying a word. After that, he stretched out two slender fingers and pushed the scarf down, revealing his mouth with thin lips, looking at him obediently and saying: " You want to suffocate me..."

The ending sound was biting gently, it sounded like a baby.

Sinan trembled quietly.

There was a smile in those familiar black bright eyes, still three points frivolous, five points confused, and two points careless.

Chen Sen's hair is a bit long, and it hangs obediently over his eyes. The whole person looks much more obedient than before. He is simply a tender cabbage that is pollution-free and harmless.

Sinan's Adam's apple rolled, and he quickly scolded himself in his heart.

Fart is useless.

So he held the person in front of him into his arms with restraint, and raised his hand to stroke his hair.

The voice is submerged and gentle:

"I go first."

Si Nan felt that the endurance of his life was probably spent on the moment when he controlled Chen Sen from kissing his forehead just now.

If there is a next time, it really won't work.

During the New Year's Eve, the hospital was deserted, and the pale lights were turned on in a daze. Because of the special atmosphere of the hospital, the empty corridors and aisles looked particularly cold and gloomy.

Chen Sen put on his coat, and the moment he put his hand into the sleeve, his arm convulsed as if he had been electrocuted.

He got dressed silently and entered the ward. His mother had already fallen asleep on the small bed next to him.

He came to grandpa's hospital bed.

Grandpa suffered from stomach cancer, and now the cancer cells have metastasized to the gallbladder. The old man's complexion is sallow, as if painted, and the whole person is aging rapidly. The skin is dry and wrinkled, and the bones are thin.

He lay down on another bed.

The air conditioner was turned on in the ward, but he still felt cold even under the quilt. Everything added up didn't seem to be as warm as Si Nan's indifferent embrace.

Warm, firm body.

That night, Chen Sen slept with his clothes on.

Early the next morning, the three of them got up early and ate some casual breakfast outside. Because they didn't know what the patient had taboos, they only packed porridge, and Sinan bought Chen Sen another basket of meat buns.

Now he just feels uncomfortable when he thinks of Chen Sen standing in front of him.

Guan Yan: "You said you met Lao Chen in the toilet last night, did you ask him about his grandfather?"

Si Nan shook his head: "I didn't dare to ask, I feel like he is dying."

Xu Xu: "Bah, bah, bah! Hurry up and bah three times, it's unlucky for anyone to die!"

Sinan and Guan Yan looked at him like a fool, but finally Sinan gave in and poohed three times.

Guan Yan looked funny.

The three of them hurried to the hospital after breakfast. On the way, Xu Xu went into the fruit shop and bought several catties of apples. Look like a robber.

Li Nianqin bumped into Guan Yan and the others at the door of the ward just after returning from getting hot water.

"Aunt!" Guan Yan rushed towards the woman.

Li Nianqin was thrown back by his body, couldn't help but patted him on the back, and smiled: "Why are you here?"

"Hello Auntie."

"Hello Auntie."

Li Nianqin couldn't help nodding: "Hi, everyone! It's Chinese New Year, why did you come to the hospital, does your family know?"

Simon: "I've said it all."

Xu Xu: "Let's take a look at Chen Sen, and I'm a little worried about him."

Hearing this, the woman's sorrow could not be concealed, and she smiled slightly: "It's the Chinese New Year, it's hard for you to have this kind of heart, go in."

This is a single room.

In the room, Chen Sen and his grandfather were still sleeping. Hearing the movement, he turned over and struggled to sit up. His face was troubled, but his hairstyle was not messed up.

"Old Chen!" Guan Yan suppressed his voice and rushed towards Chen Sen. When he was about to get close, Si Nan grabbed him from behind, and stood there with his teeth and five claws.

"He's just breaking the bones now, and you smash him into pieces again."

Guan Yan stood firm, and then took a closer look, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Are you taking diet pills?"

"Stupid!" Chen Sen scolded with a smile.

Xu Xu leaned over, with the "standard worried face" as always: "Why are you so thin?"

Chen Sen: "Skinny beauty, you don't understand."

"Oh." Mou Nan sneered.

Shouting was not allowed in the ward. Guan Yan and Xu Xu were silent after seeing their grandfather in front of the hospital bed. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say, so they had to stand by the side in a daze.

Li Nianqin just took the breakfast from Si Nan when the nurse knocked on the door and told her to go to the doctor's office, so she left in a hurry.

Si Nan took out Chen Sen's share and handed it to him.

"have eaten."

Chen Sen opened the box and took a look. The food was still steaming.

Ruoyou Ruowu muttered: "I don't like vegetable buns."

"Meat."

"There are so many, you will get tired after eating them all."

"There's vinegar in the small box next to it, it's a good solution."

"I don't want to eat pork."

"I bought beef."

Guan Yan couldn't take it anymore: "I said you are so skinny and picky eaters? He ran for several blocks in the morning to pick out such a cage for you. I feel that he wants to go to battle and wrap one for you himself." Caged!" Looking back at Sinan, "No, what's wrong with him that you're used to?"

Xu Xu giggled beside him.

Sinan Bafeng remained silent, seeing that Chen Sen was eating too fast, he poured another glass of water and handed it over.

Guan Yan: "..."

About half an hour later, Li Nianqin came back, but didn't come in, and stood at the door of the ward and called Chen Sen out.

The remaining three people looked at me and I looked at you, Guan Yan sighed sadly.

Not long after, the mother and son came in, their expressions were as usual, and no one could see any emotion.

Li Nianqin greeted them with a smile: "It's hard to come here, don't stay in the hospital, let Chen Sen take you around, even though he has bad legs and feet."

How can you still be joking?

The three teenagers forced out a little smile.

Li Nianqin breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll stay in the hospital for another day today, and I'll pick up Grandpa home tomorrow."

Come back home?

The three of them looked at their noses, noses, and hearts, and probably understood what the words meant, but they couldn't be sure, or they couldn't be sure.

"Grandpa's illness... can only be cured here." The woman's voice was a little unsteady, and Chen Sen walked over and shook her shoulder silently.

Guan Yan had a rare flash of thought, and hurriedly said: "Then we will all come tomorrow morning! Take Grandpa home!" He hurriedly grabbed the backpack, opened it, and found a black bag, "I will take my grandpa's radio It was also stolen, and our master must be happy to find out!"

Grandpa Guan and Grandpa Chen are old acquaintances. They have been playing together since they were naked and bickered all their lives. They are a pair of old enemies worthy of the name.

Li Nianqin looked at him dumbfounded, the stagnant atmosphere in the ward finally eased.

"Where are we going now?" Standing at the entrance of the hospital, Xu Xu asked.

In fact, the current scene is a bit embarrassing, with such a big matter on his head, how can anyone be in the mood to play?

Guan Yan stretched his waist, glanced at Chen Sen, and said, "He can't go anywhere like this, why don't he go back to the hotel and rest? I'm in bed, I didn't fall asleep all night last night."

Chen Sen picked up the crutch and waved it in front of Guan Yanyan: "I can beat you like this."

"Okay, okay! Then where do you want to go?"

"Cinema."

There are not many people in this movie theater, and in addition to the small number of people in this county, Chen Sen chose an extremely unpopular thriller, and when he entered the theater, there was no one there.

Chen Sen: "Purchase! It's so beautiful!"

Xu Xu: "Excited!"

Simon: "It's okay."

Guan Yan: "..."

Looking at the disheveled Guan Yan, the three of them couldn't help but spit.

Guan Yan: "...Laughing Chicken!"

Obviously lack of confidence.

Chen Sen: "Don't be intimidated anymore."

Guan Yan: "..."

It just so happened that this was a large movie theater.

The four scattered, Guan Yan sat in the middle and asked Xu Xu to take a magnificent photo of him from behind, but as soon as the film started, he flinched to the last row. The three people watching the screen burst into laughter.

The movie started, and the theater lights were all turned off.

The old-fashioned weird background sound suddenly sounded, Sen Sen sneered, the rough sound was like sandpaper grinding iron.

Si Nan turned his head and glanced to the left. There were four empty seats, and Chen Sen was crouched, as if embedded in a chair, his head was tilted, and his face could not be seen.

He was a little puzzled, so he got up and sat down next to him, poking his head around and saw that this person was actually sleeping!

"Are you scared?" The voice suddenly came out.

Si Nan was taken aback by him, and calmed down: "I'm not afraid."

Chen Sen said "um", turned his head to him, his eyes were still closed.

"I'll sleep for a while, I haven't slept in a long time."

Looking at his haggard face, Si Nan felt his heart soften.

"it is good."
