Jigsaw puzzle

The originally lively dining table atmosphere suddenly fell into a weird silence. Except for Li Weiguo, the four people, including Qi Xin, basically fell into the same mental activity.

It seems he doesn't know yet.

Does she know?If she knows, does she know that I know?If she knows that I know, does she know that I know that she knows?

"Hey, young people, you really have to pay attention." Fortunately, Li Weiguo himself didn't continue to dwell on this problem, and continued to pour himself wine without knowing it. "It's true that your body is more important than anything else."

"Happy New Year!" Li Weiguo raised his cup, bringing everyone back to reality from the rich inner activities.

"Happy New Year."

Li Ran's house is not big, so suddenly two more people came to stay overnight, so Li Weiguo had to clean up the single bed in the living room that was used to pile up sundries to sleep in.

On the sofa next to her, Zhang Lingyu covered Qi Xin's small face with two hot towels to relieve the chapped skin on her face due to dryness.

"Ah Ran," Zhang Lingyu called to Li Ran in the direction of Li Ran's room, "You can help the little girl buy some facial oil from the Internet, the kind specially for children."

"I'm not a child." Qi Xin rubbed her hand on the red, swollen and itchy spot on her face, a little unconvinced, "I'm already 13 years old."

"Don't rub, or the hot compress just now will be in vain!" Zhang Lingyu gently knocked off Qi Xin's fumbling hands, dug a little Vaseline with her fingers, and carefully helped her apply it on her face.

Li Ran had just finished taking a shower, and came out of the bathroom with a towel on his head. He searched all over the room for his mobile phone but couldn't find it. When Han Yicheng was taking a shower with his pajamas in his arms, he helped him get out from the crack of the sofa and handed it to him.

"What do you want to buy?" Li Ran sat between Zhang Lingyu and Qi Xin, and asked Qi Xin by swipe across the phone screen, "Moisturizing? Whitening? Wrinkle removal?"

"Kids don't have any wrinkles, so why not get rid of wrinkles! Give me your phone, and I'll pick it out!"

Qi Xin was smeared with oil all over her face by Zhang Lingyu, and she felt very comfortable after moisturizing her skin.Zhang Lingyu was a little presbyopic, and had to wear eyes when looking at the phone. Qi Xin sat on the bed with her knees hugged, and quietly asked Zhang Lingyu who was squinting at the phone next to her.

"Auntie, I come here to sleep and squeeze my uncle into the living room, will my uncle be unhappy?"

Zhang Lingyu scratched Qi Xin's nose: "I don't care about him, he snores and disturbs me every day, today just let him reflect outside."

"Oh," Qi Xin wanted to laugh when Zhang Lingyu said this, but felt embarrassed, so she could only secretly have fun beside her. After a while, she climbed down from the bed, "I'll play a game of chess with uncle."

"Hurry up, what time is it, come back to sleep after I pack up." Zhang Lingyu said and patted Li Ran, "You should also go back to the room and sleep quickly, don't just sit and waste time with me."

Li Ran laughed aloud, ran back to his bedroom, got under the quilt, turned on the electric blanket and waited for Han Yicheng. He played with his mobile phone for a while, and then fell asleep in a daze, until Han Yicheng crept into bed covered in damp cold air. Only then did Li Ran wake up again.

"Come here under my quilt, what are you doing over there, I haven't slept with you for a long time, why don't you come in quickly!"

"I'm cold."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll warm you up if I cover it for you, besides, the blanket is on my side!" Li Ran coquettishly dragged Han Yicheng into his bed, climbed onto him and hung it up.

Perhaps it was because the two of them hadn't had such close contact for a while, and this time was stretched infinitely in Li Ran's mind, making Li Ran feel that Han Yicheng was lying in his bed at this time, even though he was so thin, he looked like a hug. It's as cute as a big sweet potato.

"Why do you smell so good? What kind of shower gel did you use?" Li Ran couldn't hold back and bit Han Yicheng's shoulder, leaving a slight tooth mark on his shoulder.

"Your family."

"Oh." Li Ran blushed a little. He felt that his IQ had dropped again, and he even forgot where Han Yicheng took a shower just now.

"It smells good too," he said, "it doesn't smell the same to me anyway."

There was an electric blanket under the bed, Han Yicheng warmed up after a while, he turned around, and the two lay face to face.

After a while, Han Yicheng said, "Next week, I want to sell the car."

"Ah?" Li Ran raised his head, blinking his eyes in the dark, "Why? I don't think it's necessary? It's not that far yet, right?"

"I can't use it in the hospital, and you don't like to drive, the dust has accumulated very thick."

Li Ran has indeed been busy recently, and has not moved Han Yicheng's car much. It is a fact that he went to the hospital to pick up someone with a car full of ashes today, but he did not expect Han Yicheng to be so careful. He not only noticed these details, but also silently remembered them. heart.

"Can't you reimburse half of the hospitalization expenses? Besides, my new store has been transferred out, so I don't need so much cash now—"

"Don't fool me." Han Yicheng said, "I know how much the hospitalization fee is, and it will be difficult for you to pay half of the reimbursement. Don't pretend to have money."

Li Ran closed his mouth, put his forehead on Han Yicheng's chest and said nothing, "I still don't think it's necessary." After a while, he retorted softly.

"Qi Xin finished this semester, and she should be in the second year of junior high school." Han Yicheng suddenly said this.

"Ok?"

"Her grades are not good, and she may not be able to go to a key school in the district. I don't want her to be forced to learn too many things she doesn't like like I was when I was a child, but some of the rest of the high school environment in this area is too bad, and it is difficult to go there. not good."

"Qi Dongqing doesn't care about these things, and I... have never known what she is interested in," Han Yicheng continued, "Last time you told me that I found out that she really likes drawing."

"After selling the car, my hospital expenses will be paid from here, and you will take her to enroll in a painting class, and the rest will be stored with you first, in case there is any change in your dance studio."

"You..." Li Ran didn't know what to say, his Adam's apple slipped, and he agreed, "Okay."

Han Yicheng's tone was very calm, he raised Li Ran's chin and touched the bulge of his brow bone: "I told you to run again, you should lose weight again."

"I'm trying to lose weight, and it's not that I'm tired. We dancers are like this. It's easy to lose weight and it's hard to gain weight." Li Ran said stubbornly.

"Ah."

"When you get well in the future, earn more money, and I will rest more, and I will definitely gain weight."

"it is good."

The next day, when Qi Xin was sent back to Qi Dongqing, Han Yicheng also bid farewell to Zhang Lingyu and Li Weiguo. Zhang Lingyu repeatedly tried to persuade Han Yicheng to tell the truth.

"Auntie, I'm still in the hospital, and I only asked the doctor for a day off."

"Ah?" Zhang Lingyu was taken aback, "Why is it so serious? Why didn't you say anything about it? Before, which hospital was it? Your uncle and I will visit you if we have time."

"Hey, go back quickly," Li Ran helplessly pushed Zhang Lingyu back into the room, "Don't make trouble."

Han Yicheng promised the old couple: "Come and play again when I get better."

After leaving home, Li Ran took Han Yicheng wandering around the city on the first day of the new year. Most of the shops were closed, but they still didn't go back to the hospital. It turned red, and his legs were almost cold and unconscious, so Li Ran reluctantly sent Han Yicheng back to the ward.

"What did Director Qian tell you just now?" Han Yicheng asked Li Ran.

"Just report to her about yesterday's and today's itinerary, who you met, how you behaved, and whether you took your medicine on time."

"Oh." Han Yicheng pretended not to care at all, and continued to weave the glass ball in his hand, but his eyes kept sneaking towards Li Ran. After a while, that "handicraft" gradually became different.

"Guess what Director Qian said?"

"I do not know."

"She said that you have been doing very well recently, and she is considering reducing your dosage of medicines next week, especially the one that hurts your stomach, maybe you don't need to take it next week."

Han Yicheng stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Ran: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Why should I lie to you about this kind of thing?"

"Then... when can I be discharged from the hospital?" Han Yicheng asked cautiously.

"It will take some time before I'm discharged from the hospital..." Li Ran couldn't bear to see Han Yicheng disappointed, so he took his medicine box from the bedside table next to him, opened one of the compartments, and poured a few pills of various colors into his palm Heart.

"Look, you don't have to take this slice next week." Li Ran pulled Han Yicheng's hand over and picked out which slice to put in his hand. I'll pick you up and leave the hospital when the next one is done, okay?"

Han Yicheng nodded, took the water glass from the side, and swallowed all the pills for tonight.

"By the way, Director Qian also told me that the small group class that you sometimes take the initiative to participate in is quite useful to you. She said that chatting with different people will be very helpful for your illness, especially friends." Li Ran lowered his head and asked Han Yicheng, "Would you mind if I let Chen Xian and the others come over to accompany you?"

"Then are you still here?"

"Of course I'll come over too. It's not a conflict. After the students start school, I can come more frequently."

"I don't mind." Han Yicheng stopped his hands and stared at Li Ran's sharper jawline, "You don't have to come here all the time, you're too tired."

"I'm not tired. I come here to see you when I feel the most relaxed every day. If I don't come here for two days, I feel tired and uncomfortable, and I can't get up in the morning."

When Li Ran said this, he felt it was natural, but after he finished speaking, he felt that it was too nasty. He looked at the bed next door with a guilty conscience, and found that Brother Liu was looking at him with a very "kind" look.

Fortunately, Han Yicheng has always been so numb to such things, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he sat on the bed calmly and asked Li Ran, "Are you leaving?"

Li Ran took out his phone and looked at the time: "I can stay for a while, anyway, I have nothing to do when it's Chinese New Year."

At this time, Brother Liu leisurely interjected: "The nurse will come to make rounds at eleven o'clock."

Li Ran: "...Okay, then I should go soon."

Han Yicheng took the clothes from the side and put them on: "I'll take you down."

Li Ran didn't know what was going on with him today. He had come so many times and felt reluctant to leave every time, but today the feeling of not wanting to leave was particularly strong.It took him more than 20 minutes to walk from the ward to the gate of the hospital compound.

He was a little lucky at first, thinking that Han Yicheng was not as indecisive as himself, but when he was pulling the door handle, he heard Han Yicheng whisper behind him: "I don't want you to go."

Just this one sentence made Li Ran's eyes feel hot. He forced back the tears, turned around with the corners of his mouth pursed, and hugged Han Yicheng into his arms vigorously.

"I don't want to leave either, but there's no other way. You'll get better soon if you stay here. It won't be long. Be good, huh?"

"Ah."

After Han Yicheng agreed, he watched Li Ran think for a while, then lowered his head and kissed him lightly and quickly on the lips.

The kiss was so fast and gentle that Li Ran didn't even feel it, and saw Han Yicheng turn his head and walk back as if he had made up his mind, but he was pulled back by Li Ran before he took two steps.

"Why did you kiss me?" Li Ran asked him.

Han Yicheng looked very disturbed, his body shook slightly and he replied: "I want...to remember how you feel here, for a little longer."

Li Ran couldn't bear it any longer, pinched Han Yicheng's head and kissed him vigorously.

Now a simple kiss seems to be unable to express Li Ran's fiery feelings. He grabbed Han Yicheng's lower lip with his teeth, and as soon as he squeezed hard, a faint smell of blood fainted from his mouth.

"?"

After the two separated, Han Yicheng looked at him suspiciously, his lower lip was bitten by Li Ran, and he felt a bit of numb pain.

"So, how long can you remember?"

Han Yicheng blinked his eyes: "Remember until you come next time."
