For a moment, Qi Yu thought it was raining.

His eyes were attracted by a gust of wind outside the window, and he saw layers of cloud covering the top, but no raindrops yet.

Just an illusion——

The doctor's words brought his attention back to the X-ray film of the light board: "Mr. Qi, you are recovering well. For patients with fractures of the ulna and radius, it is relatively fast."

The doctor pointed at the position where the fracture line was faintly shown on the X-ray film. The original blood stasis had completely dissipated, and the fracture line was almost invisible. The doctor deliberately outlined it with his finger before he noticed it.A layer of primitive callus grew around the fracture site, and the inside and outside joined together, which can be said to have basically reached the standard of clinical healing.

"According to this recovery speed, the cast can be removed next week, and the wrist and fingers can be slowly exercised. For the upper arm, simple movements should be fine, but strenuous exercise and large twisting must be avoided."

next week.

Qi Jin's eyes lighted up slightly, and she couldn't hold back her joy: "Really? That's great... It's a lot more convenient in life. After all, I always let people take care of me, and I feel sorry."

The doctor added: "You recovered so quickly, you must be well taken care of by your family."

Qi Zhen smiled: "Well... my diet and work and rest are much better than before, and I am usually very careful not to let me fall and bump. It should be related to these aspects."

The doctor suddenly realized "Oh", and said while writing the follow-up report: "Your lover is really considerate to you."

Qi Jin was stunned when he heard those two words, and when he came back to his senses, the corners of his lips turned up unconsciously, and he nodded and smiled, "Yes...my wife is indeed very considerate...very considerate."

After the follow-up visit, Qi Yu walked out of the doctor's office, and her first move was to stride towards the waiting hall.

During the waiting period, he once sent a text message to Shen Yan, telling him his floor and location, but there was no response after sending out the two text messages.Just as he was about to make a call, his number was just lined up on the screen, and a nurse came to take him to take an X-ray.Qi Xi had no choice but to send a third text message: [I'll go in first, if you come up, just wait for me in the waiting hall. 】

Now that the business was done, he walked briskly, checking his text messages and phone records—still no response.

Are they still talking?

Just as he was about to dial the number, he suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting quietly in the hall, with a sad expression, looking sideways at the gray sky outside the window, silently.

"Shen Yan," Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, put down her phone and went up to meet her, "So you're already here?"

Hearing his voice, the person in the chair trembled slightly, and turned to look at him in a daze.Then, for some unknown reason, he suddenly raised his hand and made a motion of groping forward.

Qi Jin didn't know why, but naturally reached out to take it, and held it gently.

—Hands are a little cold.

Qi Yu thought, and couldn't help but hold it tighter, trying to pass his body temperature to the other party.

This action attracted a lot of strange sights in the hall, and some people even pointed at them while biting their ears.However, Shen Yan didn't respond, and Qi Yu also turned a blind eye, and sat down beside him as usual, showing no intention of letting go.

"What's the matter, why didn't you reply to my text message?" Qi Yan asked with a smile.

"SMS..." Shen Yan repeated in a dull voice, paused for a while, as if she finally remembered the meaning of the word, and closed her eyes a little tiredly, "Sorry... I just didn't pay attention to my phone."

After all, the other hand silently wiped his face, as if forcing himself to wake up.

It's rare to see him like this.

Besides, when they went out this morning, Shen Yan's every move was normal, so that the gap was even more obvious.Qi Jin's heart skipped a beat, and after much deliberation, there could only be one reason in terms of time——

"You and that aunt..." Did you talk about something?

"How's your review going?" Shen Yan suddenly spoke at this moment, and gently stopped him in the middle of what he said.

Seeing him asking this question, Qi Zhen could only briefly repeat what the doctor said to him first: "The reexamination results are very good, there has been no displacement since the operation, the fracture line on the X-ray film has almost healed, and the bone has Bite slowly. The doctor said...the plaster cast will probably be removed within the next week."

In the last sentence, Qi Chen subconsciously slowed down her speech.

He knew that when to remove the plaster used to be a very sensitive topic, because it was related to the length of his stay with Shen Yan.

Although I have already planned to buy a car in the future, the down payment must be prepared in advance, and the car purchase procedures cannot be completed in a short time.If the leader of the TV station asked him to go back to work immediately, he might really have to move back to the apartment temporarily and be separated from Shen Yan for a while.Shen Yan himself should know this too.

Surprisingly, Shen Yan didn't say a word after listening, only the hand holding him slowly tightened.

"……how should I do?"

After a while, a few words were heard hoarsely.

Qi Min was startled, and looked at him blankly for a while, not understanding what he was referring to.

The ash-like sky outside seemed to fill Shen Yan's eyes, unable to warm him up, and unable to survive.Rather than asking a question, he might as well be muttering to himself: "What can I do...to make you need me more?"

That sentence was the last sentence Shen Yan said in the morning.

On the way home, he remained silent until the end, and no matter how much Qi Min asked him, he would just shake his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Of course Qi Yu didn't believe it.

"I've always needed you."

When the two of them stood facing each other on the bus, Qi Yu lightly touched his chest, looked at each other, and repeated her answer in the hospital in a low voice.Shen Yan looked at him silently, but smiled weakly and didn't answer.No matter how many times Qi Yu told him, he always had the same reaction.

Qi Jin knew that his question was actually not as simple as it appeared on the surface, but more complicated and obscure.

Obviously realized it, but couldn't give a better answer.

This contradiction made Qi Wei feel anxious——

"Little guy, don't you need him too? If it were you, how would you tell him?"

"Meow?"

Xiao Guiqi naturally couldn't understand these words, and continued to practice rolling in his arms heartlessly, looking lazy and indifferent to world affairs after filling his stomach.

Qi Jin began to envy the cat's spiritual world.

After returning home, Shen Yan behaved the same as usual except that she didn't speak.First of all, I came to Xiaoguiqi's nest without saying a word, ground half a bowl of dry food for the hungry little guy, mixed it with fragrant and sweet milk paste, and then sat quietly and gently combed its ears with hands. The fluff in the nest is so comfortable that the little guy's eyes are narrowed into two slits.

He watched Xiao Guiqi bury his head in hard work, and Qi Chen looked at him.

Seeing that the kitty enjoyed the care he gave, a faint smile hung on his lips.It seems that the emptiness of "being needed" has been filled a little, but it is far from enough.

"I'm going to make lunch."

After a long time, Shen Yan got up.

Even the one sentence used to break the silence was saying the same thing.And when he said it, his eyes still didn't look at Qi Jin.

I'm here to help.Chi Chi was about to say that.

But thinking of Shen Yan's words "make you need me more", helping yourself might have the opposite effect.Qi Jin hesitated for a moment, but finally swallowed the words back, and stayed in the living room alone to play with Xiao Guiqi.It's just that his gaze has been glancing at the lonely back of the quietly busy kitchen from time to time.

"Is it because I said that the cast can be removed next week and made him feel uneasy because I might be away for a while?"

Little Guiqi innocently pricked up his ears and looked at his master with wet eyes, not understanding why the master kept frowning and talking to himself, making him want to scratch it away with his furry paws.

"Or, he thinks... I don't rely on him enough?" At least that's the literal analysis.But what is the reason for Shen Yan to think so?

Little Guiqi was confused and dozed sleepily.

The sound of Qi Jin's soft sigh has no more meaning to it than hypnotic effect.So I stretched myself, and got under the hem of the neat clothes to keep warm while dozing off.

Suddenly, there was a "clang" in the kitchen, which seemed to be the sound of a knife falling on the counter.

Startled, Qi Jin quickly turned over and got up, causing Xiao Guiqi, who was sleeping hazily, to roll onto the floor and immediately rolled into a ball of hair.

"Meow—" it stood up innocently, shaking its fur, and complained softly to its master's reckless actions.

However, its owner had no time to look back, and could only rush to the kitchen in a hurry.

"What just happened?"

Before Qi Naren entered the kitchen, anxious voices had already arrived.

From his angle, he could only see the man's back, his shoulders were slightly drawn inward, his head was lowered, and he was holding his other hand.

What this posture represents, Qi Nu can roughly guess.

Taking a closer look, there was a kitchen knife lying on the desk as expected, the blade was stained with blood, sporadic spots were connected in a string on the surface of the white tiles, and even the edge of the cutting board was attached.Qi Jin took a deep breath: "Have you cut your hand? Quickly show me—"

Shen Yan slowly turned her head.

That expression was surprisingly calm, as if he didn't feel the pain in his finger at all, he was just confused, as if he didn't know what happened, his right hand held his left hand, and he didn't intend to actively stop the bleeding.Qi Jin was extremely anxious, grabbed his injured hand, and half-forcedly pulled it over for a closer look.

Good thing...not a particularly deep cut.

Qi Chen was in a hurry, and without thinking about it, she lowered her head and swallowed it.The surface of his tongue lightly pressed against the wound, and the smell of blood immediately spread in his mouth. The rust-like smell made his brows gradually frown.

Qi Jin's move seemed to have finally brought Shen Yan back to his senses for a moment, and he called out: "Qi Jin, I'm fine..."

He wasn't listening at all, insisting on getting the blood off.

"Qi Yu."

Shen Yan called him for the second time, her voice was lower and hoarse than before, which could soften the hearts of those who listened.Hearing such a call, Qi Yu unconsciously let go.

Shen Yan gently pulled his finger away at that moment, Qi Min raised his head, and was about to ask "How did you cut yourself", but the hand turned around without warning, and pinched his chin.Qi Min was taken aback for a moment, before he could see the emotion in the opposite pair of eyes clearly, the gasp produced by the surprise had been silently blocked.

Among all the kisses they have had so far, this is a rare one, one initiated by Shen Yan.

Although the time and place are unexpected, it doesn't matter.Qi Jin could clearly feel the overflowing emotions inside.Persistent and strong.

"Well……"

He panted a few times, closed his eyes obediently and went to grind slowly.

Shen Yan pressed her whole body over.

Qi Jin couldn't retreat anymore, her waist pressed against the edge of the desk, her right hand fumbled up his sleeve in a daze, and she involuntarily grabbed that solid shoulder.

A pot of soup on the stove was slowly simmering for half an hour. At this time, a large cloud of white mist emerged, filling the entire kitchen in the faint light.The lid of the pottery pot was pushed up one after another due to the boiling of the soup, making a slight collision sound, covering up their breathing.

"Shen Yan," Qi Yu hastily reminded with a short breath, "Your injury has not yet..."

deal with it.

Before he could finish the remaining three words, Shen Yan's motion of bending down prevented him from continuing, and his wet lips pressed together again, entangled in his slight panting.

The taste of blood still remained in his mouth, which made him subconsciously prevent the kiss from deepening, but Shen Yan still broke in.

Shen Yan must have tasted that taste——

Qi Wei opened her eyes in bewilderment, and quietly looked at the man in front of her at close range.

It's too close, but I can't see clearly.

All I know is that that face is not an expression immersed in joy, on the contrary... there is a little bit of pain.

"Meow?"

After hearing the sound, Xiao Guiqi looked at the two fathers blankly, his tail dangling.

The cat meowing from under her feet woke up Qi Yu suddenly, her face became hot, and she finally made up her mind to gently push Shen Yan away.

"It is said that your injury has not been treated..."

He said while panting, and grabbed Shen Yan's bleeding hand.

Shen Yan's expression at this moment seemed to be less gloomy, and she had regained a sliver of reason.He silently watched Qi Yu clean his wound, hesitating to speak.

After a while, he suddenly leaned over again, seemingly weakly burying his head on Qi Jin's shoulder.

Qi Min was stunned, and asked in a low voice: "Are you... not feeling well? How about we go out for lunch?"

Shen Yan's voice sounded like a cold, with a heavy nasal voice: "No need, the food will be ready soon. I'll find something to disinfect and stop the bleeding first. You can bring the little return date back... There are a lot of things in the kitchen, don't hurt it .”

Qi Jin turned his head to observe his state, and he was relatively normal, so he nodded hesitantly.

In Shen Yan's house, Qi Yu's favorite lamp is the white chandelier on the dining table.Because its light is thick and warm, it is easier for people to confess what they really want to say when sitting under it.

There is a sentence that has been brewing since he stepped into the house until now, and he finally said it.

"When you go back to work in the afternoon, can I visit the class?"

Shen Yan slightly paused the hand holding the bowl.

There was still a Band-Aid on his hand, which had just been put on.

The existence of this Band-Aid somewhat made Shen Yan's following words unconvincing: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine... You'd better rest at home."

"How could you not be worried?" Qi Min smiled wryly.

Shen Yan is such a meticulous and cautious person, how could he not cause people to worry when he accidentally cut his finger because of distraction.He calmed down, changed his rhetoric and insisted on his original plan: "Anyway, I am idle at home, and you are busy with yours, so don't worry about me. I can chat with head nurse Pang myself. If she is not free, I'll just take my notebook and browse the web in your office or something."

Shen Yan was silent for a while.

Even in the silence, Qi Jin could still hear his somewhat irregular breathing in the silence, which was shorter and heavier than usual.

"No, Qi Yu." Shen Yan shook his head after all, and said dryly, "Today...not."

"Why?" The reason was what he wanted to know the most.

"Because I... I am really uncomfortable today, and my work status may not be very good." Therefore, I don't want you to see it even more.

After Shen Yan finished speaking, she sighed first.

Qi Yu once said that he respects and admires his appearance at work the most, and he should not let this impression be destroyed by his current self-disappointment.Now I have nothing else to think about other than temporarily calming myself down and digesting negative emotions by myself on the grounds of work.

"It's okay, I can adjust it myself. And tonight is your first match, right? You should stay at home and prepare well." Shen Yan smiled slightly at him, although the smile was a bit forced.

"Then, I'll stay with you for an hour. An hour is fine, right?"

At this moment, Qi Yu suddenly asked a question.

Shen Yan didn't expect that he would bargain, and was taken aback for a while, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree.

When going out, Qi Yu decided to bring the little return date with her.

After all, the little guy didn't have much time to play with the same kind when he was so big, and he might meet a few in the hospital.

I don't know if that kiss played a role, Shen Yan was not as silent as before, and listened to Qi Jin talking along the way, and occasionally answered two or three sentences.

When he arrived at the hospital, Qi Yu did not forget to say hello to the head nurse, Ms. Pang.

She seemed to have mistook Qi Min for Shen Yan's neighbor, and she was not surprised at all that they appeared together, and she kept saying that it was a coincidence that the two of them were destined to live so close together.While they were smiling and exchanging greetings, a little nurse came in and said to Shen Yan who had just put on a white coat: "Doctor Shen, the puppy that was operated on last night seems to have passed the critical period, please go over and make sure."

When Qi Jin heard that it was the operation last night, his heart moved, and he quickly asked, "Can I go and see it together?"

Shen Yan nodded slightly.

He led Qi Zhi to an isolation ward in the inpatient area.When I opened the door, I saw a two or three-month-old Chinese pastoral dog lying quietly in the room. Most of its body was covered by a layer of soft quilt, and only a fluffy head sticking out. The hair color was very light. Pale gray gold like ears of wheat - very warm to look at.

The dog's ears were drooping because of its weakness, and its eyes were closed, only opening a crack when they heard their footsteps walking past.

But the body remained motionless.

"It was hit by a car, and its internal organs were damaged when it was brought here, and the internal bleeding was serious." Shen Yan explained in a low voice.

Qi Yu was a little startled just listening to his narration like this, presumably the appearance of the dog at that time must have been even more unbearable to look at.I thought this silently in my heart, so I approached with light steps and carefully observed the puppy.

At this time, the little Guiqi in his arms poked his head out, staring at the dog and barking: "Meow~"

The other party didn't respond, so Xiao Guiqi struggled to free one paw, and stretched it in mid-air, trying to scratch the dog's listless ear tips.

"Shh...don't make a fuss, the dog is sick and needs to rest." Qi Yu hurriedly took a step back, so as not to surprise the other party with the return date.

"Meow meow!" Xiao Guiqi protested by slapping his arm hard with a meat pad.

Strange to say, the puppy heard Xiao Guiqi meowing and meowing, but opened its eyes completely. The black eyeballs were very moist and quiet, and it looked at the two people and the cat in front of it peacefully.

Shen Yan gently put his hand on it, and touched the area between its two ears.Swipe your fingers over, back and forth, extremely gentle.

It opened its eyes for a while, and finally closed them again, returning to a peaceful sleep state.

"Although the critical period has passed and there is no sign of inflammation and fever, it will be safe to stay in the hospital for a while for observation."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jin suddenly remembered the interviews he had done before, mainly focusing on the resettlement of small animals after receiving rescue, so he asked: "When it fully recovers, its owner will come to pick it up, right?"

At this time, Shen Yan paused slightly.

Qi Jin noticed a change in his complexion, and... not a good change.

Realizing that she might have said something wrong, Qi Min was about to divert the conversation, but Shen Yan said slowly: "...No, the person who brought it here was just a kind person passing by, saying that its owner thought it could not be saved at the time. Even if it is saved, it won't last long, so... it is no longer needed."
