cold flame

In the six-person ward, family members kept walking around the patients in hospital gowns. They poured boiling water, opened the bathroom door, went in and out to wash fruit, and some people brought other relatives and friends to visit. The voice of the phone talking loudly.

The volume of the TV hung on the wall was turned down very low. Even so, Xu Yan was afraid that other people would disturb Lin Zi, who had finally fallen asleep, so he gently opened the curtain beside the bed. Luckily, they were in the bed on the far side by the window. , you only need to open the curtain between the bed next to you and you can isolate a small quiet space.

He lay his head sideways next to Lin Zi's arm, and continued to wait for him to wake up.

Not long after, he felt the body next to his head move slightly. Xu Yan raised his head and saw that Lin Zi had woken up and was staring at him with his eyes open, "You're awake."

"Aren't you asleep?" Lin Zi asked, looking at Xu Yan with red and swollen eyes.

"Hmm...can't sleep." Xu Yan sat up and put his hands on the edge of the bed.

Such an environment is indeed difficult for Xu Yan, who has always been pampered, to fall asleep. Of course, Lin Zi knew that before he could continue, he heard Xu Yan's concerned question.

"Did you wake up?"

"Of course not." Lin Zi didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "I can fall asleep no matter how noisy I am."

"Is that a wound pain?" Xu Yan leaned over to check the other person's wound while speaking.

Lin Zi stopped him with a wave of his hand, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Hmm..." Xu Yan nodded with a dazed expression, looking at Lin Zi's pale face, his eyes lit up again, "Ah, you just woke up, are you thirsty?"

Seeing that he was going to get up again to pour water for himself, Lin Zi frowned, "No, you just sit here and don't do anything."

But Xu Yan understood it in a different way, and sat there blankly, not even knowing where to put his hands, looking down at the smoothed white sheet that he was lying on the side of the bed just now.

"What's the matter? You have a bitter face." Lin Zi never took his eyes off Xu Yan since he woke up, and of course he didn't let go of his changing mood.

Xu Yan shook his head, pursed his lips and said softly, "I don't seem to be able to help with anything... I know your wound hurts."

"Aren't you doing me a favor by being here?"

He is obviously not good at taking care of others, but he still thinks about himself everywhere, and his thoughts of always wanting to do something and his slightly clumsy movements are all seen in his eyes. The immature and vigorous face gradually became tired and haggard.

Xu Yan was puzzled and asked, "But I don't do anything here, how can I take care of you?"

"When necessary, I will naturally ask you for help."

"Yeah!" The boy looked reliable for a moment, "By the way, your wound..."

"It's nothing, it's much better today. Besides, didn't the doctor say that no internal organs were injured?" Lin Zi comforted Xu Yan with a weak smile, and finally raised his arm and murmured in another tone : "It's a good thing it's not a hand..."

As a musician, Xu Yan certainly understands how important the player's hands are, let alone Lin Zi, who makes a living with guitars.Although he has never shown any ideals and love, judging from the guitar that he must hang around every day, the emphasis on musical instruments and the experience brought by music must be extraordinary.

Thinking of this, the shards of glass shining in the blood that night appeared in Xu Yan's mind. If they pierced Lin Zi's hand... He frowned and dared not imagine, and stretched out his hands to hold the other party's hand involuntarily as if he was afraid palm.

After realizing that this movement was inappropriate, Xu Yan wanted to withdraw his hand, but was unexpectedly held back by the other party. He turned his head to look at the lying person. The gentleness that appeared on Lin Zi's sloppy and meaningless face.

A blush appeared on Xu Yan's face.Why did Linzi always reject him coldly, but sent him home personally because he was worried about his safety, and even because he fought with those people that night, why he couldn't tell what was wrong with him, but just repeatedly emphasized their Not a person from the same world, thinking back on all kinds of things, Xu Yan understood it a little bit ignorantly.

He didn't ask, even though he was sad and lost, he never felt that it was the other party's fault.Because he knows that feelings are wonderful, as long as there are two people who really like each other, there will always be a moment when their hearts connect.

Now, didn't he just get it?The hard-earned but always-present care is much more cautious than his rampage.

"Lin Zi—" The curtain was pulled open without warning, Lin Mo stood at the end of the bed, rolled his eyes between the fingers of Lin Zi and Xu Yan, and coughed dryly, "Go ahead, I'll come back later."

Xu Yan shyly withdrew his hand and called Lin Mo, "Come and sit." He moved a wooden stool from under the bed to the side.

"This is for you." Lin Mo picked up the watch object in his hand, and said to the person on the bed who didn't look sick at all.

"Thank you." Looking at the milk and a basket of fruit, Lin Zi couldn't help laughing, "However, if you buy so many things, you might as well give away a few packs of cigarettes."

"You can't smoke now." Xu Yan reminded him very seriously.

"Did you hear? You are in a special period now, when you want to smoke..." Lin Mo put the fruit on the empty storage table next to him, and put the milk on the ground without knowing where to put it, just in time to see that a box had been opened Opened milk, "You can drink milk to supplement calcium."

"I don't like milk."

"Then this..." Lin Mo pointed to the milk with a straw on the table.

Xu Yan was a little embarrassed and replied, "I drank it."

"Then these are also given to you."

"No, these are reserved for Xiaoran, he likes to drink."

"Xiao Ran?"

"Yeah." Seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to know anything, Xu Yan explained, "Xiao Ran is the senior's younger brother."

It was only then that Lin Mo remembered that Xu Yan had regarded him as Lin Zi's younger brother at first, and he rarely heard anything about his family members from Lin Zi, even Xu Yan told him his full name.Lin Mo never thought of asking these questions. This kind of casual way of getting along with friends didn't make him feel unfamiliar at all.

"How old is your brother, why didn't you see anyone?"

"Grand one." Lin Zi answered briefly.

Xu Yan looked at his watch and said, "School is almost over, I guess it will be a while before I come over."

In fact, what makes Lin Mo feel strange is that although Lin Zi's injury is not life-threatening, it can be regarded as a serious trauma. Looking around the ward, which patient is not surrounded by one or two relatives to take care of him, which bed is not Stacked with cut water ghosts, insulated lunch boxes and a few bouquets of flowers?There are only daily necessities and a guitar next to the forest.

Even the only person who takes care of him is Xu Yan, who is a schoolmate at a distance, and a lover who has just begun to develop at a close point.

Lin Mo didn't intend to continue to bring up the topic of this family. He looked at Lin Zi seriously and said, "How is your injury today? I was inconvenient yesterday, so I didn't come to see you."

"It's okay, have you solved it?" Lin Zi's lips were a little pale, and the way he smiled lost his previous radiance.

"Well, it's resolved. Your injury..."

"The person who pushed me will compensate half of the cost. Your brother-in-law came over and told me yesterday."

"He came to tell you this?" Lin Mo didn't know that Gao Wenxuan had taken care of everything.

"Come to ask about the details at that time. He told me that he will solve this matter. Anyway, I don't bother to worry about it, as long as it's easy for you."

Xu Yan, who was quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly asked, "The doctor who came yesterday is your brother-in-law? I thought it was your brother."

"How is it possible." Lin Mo only responded with a dry smile. This is not the first time someone has such a misunderstanding.

Lin Zi took advantage of the situation and said with a deep smile: "After all, only the elder brother can be so caring about the younger brother."

Xu Yan, who didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all, thought that the other party was agreeing with him, nodded and said: "Well, just like the senior did to Xiao Ran."

The topic that made Lin Mo uncomfortable was stopped by the ringing of the mobile phone. Xu Yan squeezed the mobile phone and glanced at it, frowned subconsciously, stood up in a hurry and said to them: "I'm going out to answer the phone."

After Lin Zi's gaze followed him out, Lin Mo spoke in a timely manner, "The owner of the bar has contacted me and asked us to pay our salary when we are free."

"Well, help me get it."

"This incident was caused by me...I'm sorry." If he hadn't had a verbal conflict with the group of people and Lin Zi came to help, the other party would not have been injured and lost his job.

"Do you think you need to say sorry to me because of this?" Lin Zi raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Where is it? I didn't do it. The reason why the band didn't choose a name was because I never thought it would last for a long time."

Lin Mo knew that he was alleviating his guilt, and said with a smile, "Maybe I should say thank you."

"Save the thank you, just treat me to a supper." Lin Zi turned his head to look at the ceiling, and yawned lazily, "You can't smoke or drink here, it's so boring."

"Didn't Xu Yan accompany you? Why do you think that milk juice is also good now that you have figured it out?"

Lin Zi glanced at him, restrained his expression, the afternoon sun broke through the window and sprinkled on the white hospital bed, shining brightly on those eyes that never cared about everything, "Since you can't hide, then follow your true thoughts."
