When Qiao Hao woke up, the sun had disappeared from the car window, and the weather was no longer so hot at dusk.

Before Shi Dongdong woke up, Qiao Hao turned around to call him, only to find that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he was sleepy with his eyes closed.

"Dongdong?" Qiao Hao called out to him.

The person on the seat quickly woke up, frowned and glanced at Qiao Hao.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Qiao Hao asked nervously.

The man just shook his head and said, "It's a little stuffy in the car."

Fortunately, after getting off the car, Shi Dongdong's face recovered a lot. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a rare depressed expression.

"It's uncomfortable to sleep in the car, you have to give me the bed today."

Qiao Hao was still worried, seeing him like this, he could only say, "I didn't give up the bed to you."

This evening, Qiao Hao cooked some white porridge with vegetarian dishes for Shi Dongdong's dinner.

It's just that Shi Dongdong still ate very little, barely eating a few spoonfuls of a bowl of porridge.

But he himself, because he played basketball during the day, he swept all the porridge and vegetables off the plate in the end.

Seeing that his appetite is so good, Shi Dongdong laughed at him and asked him to share some of his appetite with himself.

Qiao Hao thought in his heart that if he could share, he would be willing to give him all his appetite, as long as he can get fatter and have stronger resistance.

Like the previous times when Shi Dongdong lived here, Qiao Hao changed the bed in the bedroom with new bedding when Shi Dongdong took a bath.

His room faced south, and it was cool in June at night, so he didn't need to turn on the air conditioner. Considering that Shi Dongdong couldn't catch cold, he specially prepared two blankets.

One thinner and one thicker.

When everything was ready, he put the changed pillow and blanket on the floor—it was obviously too hot on the sofa.

In fact, the ground is also a little cold, but he thinks that the blanket should be enough for a night.

After all this was done, only the sound of Shi Dongdong's shower was left in the not-so-spacious room.

Qiao Hao's heart was filled with the sound of water, for no reason, as long as he thought of Shi Dongdong by his side at this moment, he felt satisfied and at ease.

Then, the phone vibrated on the coffee table next to the sofa.

It was the cell phone that Shi Dongdong put down before taking a bath.

Qiao Hao glanced at it and found that the word "Huo" was actually on the caller ID.

He had to get up and walk to the balcony, in order to avoid the mobile phone.

Why did Huo Yan call at this time?Maybe they have already contacted, maybe he wants to tell Shi Dongdong that he decided to cancel tomorrow's engagement? ...

The vibrating sound of the mobile phone in the living room seemed to have its own amplifier, and it rang arrogantly in Qiao Hao's ears, continuously and unrelentingly.

Just when Qiao Hao was agitated by the sound, the door of the bathroom opened, and Shi Dongdong came out from inside wiping his face with a towel.

"The phone is ringing." Qiao Hao pointed to the coffee table, and stood on the balcony without moving.

Shi Dongdong frowned, walked over and picked up the phone.

At this moment, Qiao Hao felt that he should have a cigarette in his hand, so that his attention could probably be diverted to the cigarette.

However, he didn't have a cigarette, so he could only look straight down the balcony.There is no scenery downstairs, just an ordinary residential unit corridor entrance, the street lights are dim, there is a small bare flower bed, and occasionally one or two people who come home late pass by.

In the living room, Shi Dongdong's voice when answering the phone was very low. In fact, he didn't say much, basically just saying "um".

Qiao Hao couldn't guess what the person on the other end of the phone was talking to him from his words, and felt uneasy.

It wasn't until he finally heard Shi Dongdong's "goodbye" that he couldn't help turning around.

"It's Huo Yan calling." Shi Dongdong looked at him frankly.

Qiao Hao nodded.

"He told me that he didn't know Lisa would tell me the day of their engagement, he said he was sorry, and that I don't have to go tomorrow." Shi Dongdong put the phone back on the coffee table.

"Then are you still going?" Qiao Hao asked, carefully observing Shi Dongdong's reaction.

"Go, of course." Shi Dongdong smiled, "I'm not afraid of them."

Shi Dongdong's smile seems to be just a simple smile, without much other meaning, such as sadness, helplessness or sadness.So Qiao Hao let out a breath slowly in his heart.

He despised his timidity a little, it was just a phone call from that Huo.

"Don't worry." In vain, Shi Dongdong said again.

Qiao Hao's heart skipped a beat, knowing what Shi Dongdong meant.

"Wipe off the water, go to bed early today, I'll make the bed for you." He walked up to Shi Dongdong and changed the topic.

That night, the relationship between the two seemed particularly peaceful. Qiao Hao watched Shi Dongdong take a bunch of pills, then watched him lie down, covered him with a blanket and turned off the light, before he lay down on the floor in the living room.The moonlight shining in from the balcony made the whole room seem to be covered with a veil, and the air was humid and slightly stuffy.

Qiao Hao listened to his own breathing, and thought quietly, after tomorrow, those two people will be able to return to the road and return to the bridge.

He didn't understand why he was so obsessed with such a ritual day.

He turned and lay in the direction of the bedroom. His line of sight was blocked by a corner of the sofa, and he couldn't see the person on the bed inside clearly, but he seemed to be able to feel the breath of that person's deep sleep.

Then, the feeling of peace of mind came again, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, the sky cleared up early in the morning, and Qiao Hao woke up under the sun.

The room was still quiet, and after he regained consciousness, he almost jumped up nervously, and ran to the bedroom to see Shi Dongdong—he still had lingering fears about the previous experience, fearing that the man would leave without saying goodbye when he was unprepared.

Fortunately, this time he saw Shi Dongdong, who was lying quietly on his bed, still sleeping.

"Dongdong." Qiao Hao couldn't bear to wake him up, so he only whispered his name softly in his ear.

Shi Dongdong was lying curled up on his side on the bed, with two blankets rolled up by him, hugging his chest, sleeping like a child, tightly hugging his beloved toy and refusing to let go.Qiao Hao's heart was filled with love and affection, and he caressed the man's face unconsciously.

This action obviously disturbed Shi Dongdong, he opened his eyes almost immediately, and when his body was about to tighten, he saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Scared me..." he said.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Qiao Hao lay sideways beside Shi Dongdong, propping his head on one hand, because he was also sleepy, so he indulged in getting closer to Shi Dongdong, and stopped looking at him so cautiously.

"Not very good, you are too stingy, you are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, I seem to have sweated your blanket." Shi Dongdong curled the corners of his mouth, spread his body and lay flat.

Qiao Hao only saw his face lying on his back. The bridge of the nose was straight and handsome, the curvature of the chin was just right, slowly extending to the neck, the Adam's apple slipped faintly, and the chest rose and fell steadily.

Shi Dongdong's eyes were closed, so Qiao Hao leaned forward slightly.

He seemed to have smelled the shower gel on Shi Dongdong's body, and if he moved a little further, it should be those two warm lips.

At this moment, Shi Dongdong suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's time to get up and wash up, don't be too sloppy today." Shi Dongdong said.

Qiao Hao had no choice but to make way for Shi Dongdong to get out of bed and leave.

"Well, I'll prepare breakfast first." Qiao Hao also stood up, and he said to himself, don't worry, everything can wait.

In the kitchen, Qiao Hao was preparing to make shredded pork noodles with vegetables. The water boiled in the pot, and he started to fry poached eggs on another stove.

The door was opened when the water was just boiling. Qiao Hao heard the sound of the door being opened, and ran out of the kitchen frowning.

Originally, he thought it was the property or security of the community, and he was about to get angry when he was disturbed for no reason, but he saw his mother and sister standing at the door.

"Mom...sister..." Qiao Hao didn't know where to put the hands holding the chopsticks. He really didn't expect such two guests to come to his home early in the morning.

"Aren't you working overtime at the hospital? Or haven't you left yet?" Qiao Min had already taken off his shoes and walked in barefoot.

"Your dad feels sorry for you alone, so let us come over and make you some extra meals, so you can eat it when you come back tonight." Qiao Hao's mother put a pile of vegetables on the ground, bent down and took off her shoes.

"Why don't you tell me if you want to come?" Qiao Hao was a little confused, and began to organize in his mind for a while how to explain his "overtime work" to them and Shi Dongdong who lived in his house.

"I'll give you a surprise, don't be born in the midst of blessings and not know your blessings! I finally had a weekend, and my mother pulled me over to help me." Qiao Min came over and patted his younger brother on the shoulder. Then, she saw Qiao With the chopsticks in Hao's hand, he heard the sound of frying in the kitchen.

"Are you making breakfast?" She asked in surprise.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound from the bathroom, followed by the sound of water, as if something had been knocked over.

Qiao Hao rushed over, and the moment he opened the door, his heart was in his throat.

On the ground, Shi Dongdong fell there, holding his head and convulsing uncontrollably. The water in the washbasin overflowed and flowed all over the floor. He obviously endured it for a long time before finally falling to the ground.

"Dongdong!" Qiao Hao shouted, helping him up.

The clothes on Shi Dongdong's back were already wet by the water on the ground, but this was not the worst. The worst thing was that Qiao Hao found that he was unconscious, his body was in a state of rigidity, and he fell backwards suddenly after being supported .

"Dongdong, what's the matter with you!" Qiao Hao panicked for a moment, he desperately hugged the person on the ground, trying to fight against his body's reaction, and found that Shi Dongdong was biting his lip, with pain coming from his throat grunt.

"What's wrong with him?" Qiao Min was taken aback by the sudden movement, and stood behind Qiao Hao, not daring to move.

Qiao Hao's mother also rushed over, carrying a large cabbage in her hand.

"Don't get stuck here, let him have enough air!" Qiao Hao shouted anxiously, "Sister, call 120 for me, hurry up!"

"Oh, oh..." Qiao Min turned his head and ran to the landline phone in the living room.

"Isn't this Dongdong? What's wrong with him?" Qiao Hao's mother finally saw who the person on the ground was, and shouted out.

Regardless of the reactions of the two people around him, Qiao Hao unbuttoned Shi Dongdong's shirt at once.Reason slowly returned to his mind, he put Shi Dongdong flat on the ground, and put his hand directly in his mouth - he was afraid that Shi Dongdong would bite his tongue.

"Dongdong, don't be afraid, the ambulance will be here soon, don't be afraid, I'm here..." Qiao Hao couldn't stop comforting the people on the ground, his other hand stroked Shi Dongdong's chest back and forth, helping him to breathe .

However, these didn't work at all, Shi Dongdong convulsed even more, and white foam overflowed from his mouth.

"Xiao Hao, your hand!" Mother exclaimed beside Qiao Hao.

Qiao Hao saw that his hand was bleeding out from Shi Dongdong's bite, and the red liquid mixed with the white foam from the corner of Shi Dongdong's mouth dripped onto the ground little by little.

"Use this..." Qiao Min handed over a towel, "The call is made, and the ambulance will be here in a while."

Qiao Hao took the towel, and before he could nod to Qiao Min, he pinched Shi Dongdong's mouth, pulled his hand out, and quickly sent the towel over.

"Dongdong, bite the towel, bite the towel if it hurts, don't hurt yourself." He lowered his voice to the softest, almost whispering in that person's ear.

Big beads of sweat flowed down from his forehead, the sweat dripped onto Shi Dongdong's pale face, and soon melted with his sweat.

At this time, Qiao Hao suddenly thought that there might be some first aid or sedative medicine in Shi Dongdong's backpack, so he ran to the bedroom.

He dumped all the contents of Shi Dongdong's bag on the ground, and finally found a box of Valium from the pile of medicine bottles.

"I'm going to pour water!" Qiao Min was still calm, and immediately went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water.

"Xiaohao, come here quickly, Dongdong seems to be very uncomfortable, there is no sound in his throat..." Qiao Hao's mother was about to cry, she squatted beside Shi Dongdong, she didn't know how to place her hands.

"Mom, come over!" Qiao Hao knelt down on the ground holding the pill.

He squeezed Shi Dongdong's mouth open again, and put the medicine in his mouth, "Swallow it, Dongdong, swallow it!"

He said anxiously, Qiao Min handed the water in front of him, was waved away by his hand, and splashed on the ground.

"I'll choke..." He hastily explained.

But the pill in Shi Dongdong's mouth flowed out from the corner of his mouth with white foam, and Qiao Hao saw a drop of water dripping from the corner of his eye, he didn't know whether it was tears or sweat.

Qiao Hao felt that his heart was being tugged, he had no other choice but to hold Shi Dongdong's hand tightly.

"Dongdong, don't be afraid, I'm here, Dongdong, don't be afraid, the ambulance will come soon..."

Qiao Hao couldn't stop rambling.
