Nie Qing stepped lightly, letting herself walk towards Yu Sheng who was lying on the hospital bed silently, for fear of waking him up.

After approaching, Nie Qing stretched out his hand to help him by the shoulder, but Yu Sheng grabbed his body as soon as his fingertips touched his body.

The temperature of his palm was astonishingly hot.

"Ah Sheng, it's me." Nie Qing bent down and whispered.

After speaking, he found that Yu Sheng's hands were still not relaxed, so Nie Qing leaned over and whispered in his ear again, "Ah Sheng, don't be nervous, it's me."

"Hmm..." Yu Sheng finally let go of his hand, and fell heavily back on the bed.

Nie Qing heard that his breathing was a bit heavy and intermittent, so she couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead again, and found that it was also hot.

"Ah Sheng..." Nie Qing felt pain in his chest, he could see that Yu Sheng was completely in a state of dissociated consciousness at the moment, and the actions just now were just instinctive.Instinctive prevention, but also instinctive trust.

In his subconscious mind, he was probably the only one who could make him feel at ease and let his guard down.

Thinking of this, Nie Qing couldn't help standing up straight and taking a deep breath, then turned around and quietly walked out of the ward.

"Hello." In the duty room at the end of the corridor, Nie Qing found an older nurse who looked about 40 years old, and he knocked on the door and walked in. He has a high fever, is there any way to help him reduce his fever?"

"Room [-]?" The nurse was originally facing the door sideways, but when she heard the voice, she turned and looked at Nie Qing, "Oh, it must be the boy who just came in today. He already had a fever when he came. It was very severe, and he was unconscious. We have given him an emergency injection, and now he is receiving another infusion, hoping that it will work as soon as possible. Who are you?"

"I'm his family." After Nie Qing finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that when the passer-by aunt asked him about his relationship with Yu Sheng last night, his answer was "I'm not very familiar with him", and immediately Want to slap yourself.

At this time, the nurse looked at Nie Qing suspiciously again, "Family? Are you brothers or cousins? What about the rest of his family? Isn't the elder here?"

"Hmm..." Nie Qing replied with a heavy heart, "He only has me now."

"That's it, that's so pitiful." The nurse stood up, holding a thermometer in her hand, "I just visited him half an hour ago, let's go with you to check the situation now. By the way, the blood on his body What happened to the wound? We re-bandaged him, but the doctor said it looked like a gunshot wound? What does he do?"

"Oh... That wound was left when assisting the police in handling the case..." Nie Qing said and showed his ID.

The nurse nodded calmly, "It's about the same as I guessed, he doesn't look like a bad guy. To tell you the truth, in fact, our hospital usually calls the police after receiving unidentified and unconscious patients like him. , because he didn't have any documents on him, and he didn't have a mobile phone to contact. But at that time, there was another emergency department, and the staff was transferred, and everyone couldn't care about it, so he was put on an infusion first. , By the way, I also want to wait to see if any family members come to look for them. If no one comes by tomorrow morning, we will call the Public Security Bureau."

"I've troubled you." Nie Qing forced out a sentence with some difficulty.

The nurse waved her hand, walked into Ward [-] in front of Nie Qing, and then came to Yu Sheng's side and reached out to touch his forehead, then took out a thermometer to help him measure his body temperature, and said at the same time: "His fever is late. It is not a good thing not to retreat, it is probably because of this wound, it has been exposed to rain and water, and it is a little inflamed."

"Is this serious?" Nie Qing couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Yu Sheng's hand, only then did he realize that Yu Sheng's hand was still tense.

Obviously, although he didn't show any obvious precautions against the approach of the nurse's sister, he didn't dare to relax completely.

I really don't know what to say about him... Nie Qing couldn't help but smile wryly in silence.

Now the nurse sighed again and answered Nie Qing's question, "It's hard to say whether it's serious or not, it depends on the extent of his fever. If you really want his fever to go down quickly, you can go to the bathroom and get some cold water. Put a towel on his forehead, change it frequently, and wipe his palms and neck with warm water, which should help."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Nie Qing was about to go out the door as he spoke, when his cell phone rang.

"It is not recommended to use mobile phones in the ward." The nurse gave him a dissatisfied look.

Nie Qing said "I'm sorry" full of apology, then walked out quickly, took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Lian Xu's call, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment before answering the phone.

"Hey Nie Qing! Have you found the third brother?! I went to his house to see that no one is there! He's not in sin either!" Lian Xu shouted straight to the point without waiting for Nie Qing to speak.

"I found it, I'm with him now." Nie Qing said while taking the phone away.

"Then let third brother answer the phone!" Lian Xu let out a sigh of relief and shouted again.

Nie Qing shook her head silently, "He is asleep now, do you want me to wake him up?"

"...Of course not!" Lian Xu held back the phone for two seconds, and the volume finally dropped, "Then how is he? Where did he go before? Where are you now?"

Nie Qing heard that Lian Xu wanted to come here to find Yu Sheng, but he obviously couldn't let such an "ancestor" come over to cause trouble, so he could only use a coaxing tone: "Don't worry, he is here now." Nothing happened at my house. I didn't ask where he went before, but seeing that he was too tired, I let him rest first. "

"Oh... that's what it should be." Lian Xu remained silent for another two seconds, and said, "Then take good care of third brother, and be careful to see if he has a fever, and if so... If he has a fever, you must Help him reduce the fever as soon as possible! No matter what method you use!! I will go to your house to find him tomorrow morning!"

"Understood." Nie Qing replied, but she was still a little confused, so she asked, "You seem to be very worried that he will have a fever? Is there any special reason?"

"No, no..." Lian Xu suddenly became hesitant, "In short, it's a bad fever... Third brother's body can't bear too much trouble... He shouldn't solve any case with you! If you do this again go down..."

"What will happen if this continues?" Nie Qing's voice suddenly became serious, "Tell me, what happened to Yu Sheng's body? Is he sick?!"

"... Oh no! Are you annoying? If you want to ask you, ask third brother, don't ask me!" Lian Xu yelled at Nie Qing again and hung up the phone directly.

And Nie Qing clutched the phone tightly in his hand, and suddenly felt extremely panicked.

What happened to Yu Sheng?

Wasn't he healthy before...

"Hey, I said, why are you still here in a daze? Didn't you ask you to fetch water to give him a cold compress?" The nurse just came out of the ward at this time, and asked a little reproachfully after seeing Nie Qing.

"...I'll pick it up right away!" After being scolded, Nie Qing acted like a child who did something wrong, and hurried to get the washbasin and a hot water bottle and hurried to the bathroom.

When he came back after receiving the water, the nurse had already left, so he walked into the ward alone.

Yu Sheng's breath was still short.

Nie Qing wet a towel in the washbasin, wrung out the water and gently placed it on his forehead, and saw him frowning slightly.

"Asheng?" Nie Qing called him softly, and after confirming that he was not awakened, she carefully helped him turn around and let him lie flat on the bed.

Yu Sheng's injury was on the lower left side of his abdomen, so he just had to be careful when lying down, so as not to touch the wound, and it was also convenient for Nie Qing to help him change the towel and wipe his body.

Because of the fever, Yu Sheng's whole body is like a human-shaped stove, constantly emitting scorching heat.

Nie Qing felt that the water she wiped on the palm of his hand couldn't last even a minute, it dried up quickly, and his body temperature didn't show any tendency to drop.

Nie Qing was anxious, so she gently wiped it for him, and called his name in a low voice, "Asheng..."

But what Nie Qing didn't expect was that Yu Sheng would actually respond after he yelled like this for a while.

"Ah Qing..."

"Ah Sheng?!" Nie Qing hurriedly held his hand, approached him and asked, "How do you feel now? Where is it uncomfortable? Did I wake you up? I'm sorry... I was so worried... unconsciously At once……"

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng called him again, still muttering something, Nie Qing had to put his ear to his mouth to hear clearly, what Yu Sheng said was: "Don't leave me alone... Ah Qing... don't ignore me..."

Nie Qing's eyes were sore all of a sudden, he lowered his head and kissed him softly, and said in a low voice: "No, how could I ignore you... What I said back then was just angry words, don't take it seriously, okay? ?”

"Ah Qing...don't drive me away...please..." Yu Sheng frowned suddenly, the corners of his eyes were moist, and said in a hoarse voice: "I only have you...don't drive me away..."

"...Ah Sheng?" Nie Qing suddenly realized that Yu Sheng might not have woken up—at least not yet.

He seemed to be deeply trapped in a nightmare, his expression looked very painful, and he kept begging in a low voice, "Don't drive me away...don't leave me alone...why...why You want to leave me...Dad...Mom...why..."

"Asheng, Asheng!" Nie Qing had no choice but to wake him up loudly, and forcibly pulled him out of the quagmire of the nightmare.

"Are you... Ah Qing?" Yu Sheng opened his eyes with an unusually dazed expression.

His eyes seemed to be unable to focus, and after trying several times, he finally let his eyes fall on the position of Nie Qing's nose.

"Ah Sheng, it's me." Nie Qing temporarily took off the towel on his head, and gently stroked his forehead and the broken hair that was soaked in cold water with his hands, feeling the coolness of the water gradually fading away. The temperature below began to rise steadily again.

And Yu Sheng looked at Nie Qing for a while as if to confirm, and finally said in a very low voice: "Ah Qing...you finally came to me...I thought...you really don't want me anymore ..."

As soon as he finished saying this, tears began to flow down without warning.

"Ah Sheng..." Nie Qing truly realized at this moment what it means to feel sorry for someone to the point of suffocation.

He has never seen Yu Sheng cry a few times in his life, especially after Yu Youwen and Liang He's accident, Yu Sheng has almost never cried, and he rarely even showed his sadness.Even if he reveals something occasionally, he can laugh heartlessly in the next second, as if everything just now was just pretending.

But now, his tears can't seem to stop.

Nie Qing hugged him tightly, feeling that his neckline was getting wet soon, but Yu Sheng didn't say a word, only his body trembled from time to time.

In fact, Nie Qing also understands that Yu Sheng is so sad at this time not only because of himself, as can be heard from his dream when he was unconscious just now, but also related to his parents...

But Nie Qing still blamed himself.

He knew that if it wasn't because he drove Yu Sheng out of the house before, Yu Sheng would sleep peacefully in his bed now, rest assured, steadfast, without fear in his heart, and would not have to go through those painful events again. nightmare.

"Ah Sheng." Nie Qing hugged Yu Sheng tighter, kissed the top of his hair and whispered, "I'm sorry, I won't drive you away again. Never again. I will always be by your side , you are not allowed to leave me again. No matter what happens, we have agreed. Promise me?"

Yu Sheng leaned silently in Nie Qing's arms without responding.

"Ah Sheng, promise me." Nie Qing said it again.

But Yu Sheng continued to remain silent.

It wasn't until Nie Qing asked persistently for the third time that Yu Sheng barely nodded his head and hummed lightly.

"It's a deal." Nie Qing tried her best to appear as if she believed that he had really promised her, but there was an unspeakable sadness in her heart.

Nie Qing is not a dull person.

Every time, when he mentioned that he would not let Yu Sheng leave him again, Yu Sheng's more or less hesitation was not undetectable to him.

But every time, Yu Sheng still agreed, and Nie Qing convinced himself.Because he could no longer bear the possibility of losing the rest of his life again.

Therefore, he would rather believe that Yu Sheng's final concealment from him has nothing to do with this promise.

He would rather believe that being reluctant to part with himself for the rest of his life is the same as being reluctant to part with him.

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng's emotions had gradually calmed down at this time, he stopped sobbing, buried his head on Nie Qing's chest and gently grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Ah Qing...can you promise me something too?"

"You said."

"No matter at any time, on any occasion, under any conditions... and no matter what happens... you must believe that I love you... As long as you believe that I love you, you will know that I will never do it anyway To harm you...is this okay?" Yu Sheng asked softly and slowly with a hoarse voice.

Nie Qing hugged him tightly, nodded, and tried not to let herself ask him why he said those words.

After Yu Sheng heard his promise, his body softened all of a sudden, his head tilted in Nie Qing's arms, and he fell asleep again.

But Nie Qing noticed that the scorching temperature on his forehead just now had finally receded.
