On New Year's Eve, Lin Chen was watching fireworks in Century Square and was pushed down the steps by the crowd and broke his leg.When Jiang Qi saw the information, he raised his head from a pile of documents and pinched his brows.The secretary and the staff had already left work, so he could only close the computer and leave the office.

I went to the city hospital to find someone. Lin Chen's leg had been put in a plaster cast, and his calf bone was slightly fractured.Although it hurts, he has always been full of energy. Seeing Jiang Qi now, he smiled happily and showed two canine teeth.

"Brother, you are here."

Jiang Qi looked at him and nodded, then turned to ask the doctor about his injury, and was told that he needed to be hospitalized for two days for observation.

"It's a pity that we can't count down to the New Year's Eve." Lin Chen muttered regretfully.

There was no expression on Jiang Qi's face, but there was a slight tiredness between his brows under the light. "Heal your wounds at ease." His voice was also calm and emotionless, "I'll pay the hospital bill."

The door of the ward was closed, and Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bedside to continue playing with his mobile phone.

After Jiang Qi paid the fee, he stood in the hospital corridor for a while.The atmosphere outside the emergency room was not warmer just because it was New Year's Eve. Most of the faces of patients and their families were gloomy, and the doctors who came and went also looked serious and acted in a hurry.

Jiang Qi recalled that year, he himself was lying in this place covered in blood, he was so painful that he fainted but he couldn't wait for that person.

The window in the corridor was opened a little, and the cold wind blew in, blowing on his face and instantly waking him up.He walked towards a quiet corner and lowered his hair on WeChat, asking the secretary to find a nurse to take care of Lin Chen tomorrow. Before the message was edited, a doctor walked past him unsteadily while leaning on the wall. Jiang Qi looked up, only to see The back of this person was very thin, and he couldn't support himself and knelt down against the wall.

"Are you okay?" After all, Jiang Qi was not a cold-eyed bystander, so he went up to try to help him up.That man was really thin, and Jiang Qi had a thin arm in his palm.

"...It's okay, thank you." The doctor was obviously in extreme pain, with one hand across his abdomen and his whole body trembling.Jiang Qi saw that he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't lift his head up, and the ends of his black hair were wet with sweat.

This man's voice is false.

"Do you need to call someone for you?" Jiang Qi saw that he didn't seem to be okay. When he was looking around, the man pushed his hand away and stumbled into the bathroom. Jiang Qi could hear him coughing when he was standing outside the door Panting and vomiting.

"Hello," Jiang Qi was at a loss, when another doctor wearing glasses passed by, "There is a doctor in the bathroom, it seems that the situation is not very good." Jiang Qi stopped him and said briefly before preparing to leave.

Before he took a few steps, Jiang Qi heard the doctor wearing glasses call his name, "Qing Han—is that you? Are you okay?"

Cold?

Gu Qinghan?

Jiang Qi's hands and feet were numb, and he turned around slowly. The man was walking out of the bathroom door with a pale face.After comforting the colleague who was worried about him a few words, Gu Qinghan noticed the eyes on the other side staring at him, he looked over there, and between the two eyes, all the surrounding sounds faded away.

"Gu Qinghan."

Jiang Qi's voice was cold, and his face was even colder. He quietly looked at the person opposite, "Long time no see."

Gu Qinghan's face became paler and paler, and all the blood faded from his delicate face.His heartbeat was chaotic, and he was breathing hard, feeling dizzy and unable to speak.

This unexpected reunion does not seem to be joyful and moving.

"When did you come back?"

Gu Qinghan asked softly.Under the moonlight, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and his face was still a little sickly pale.

Jiang Qi stood with him on the rooftop, looking at him sideways.He doesn't seem to have changed much, he is as good-looking as four years ago, only thinner than then, with a white coat loosely covering his body, thin shoulders, and a small cinnabar spot on the white skin behind his ears The mole river period is very familiar.

"Half a year," Jiang Qi said coldly, "Are you surprised that I'm back?"

He turned his head to ask Gu Qinghan, the latter smiled with the corners of his bloodless lips, but his eyes were empty and silent.

"I thought—" Gu Qinghan paused, and coughed lightly, "I thought we would never see each other again." His voice almost disappeared in the wind.

Jiang Qi didn't respond to him again, and fireworks bloomed on the distant riverside, illuminating half of the sky in an instant, and then scattered.Sometimes it blooms, sometimes it fades, and the cycle repeats.

A new year begins.

During the silence between the two, Gu Qinghan began to cough slightly from the beginning, and gradually the cough became heavier and heavier. It has been an old problem for many years, and it is difficult to stop coughing every time it is blown by the cold wind.Jiang Qi frowned, watching him cover his mouth with his left hand and try to calm down. A thin ring on his ring finger was shining slightly.

That little light made Jiang Qi's eyes sting.

"Why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Gu Qinghan's voice was a little hoarse, sounding weak.

"No," Jiang Qi replied, "It's me, my friend, he was injured." He thought for a while.

Gu Qinghan nodded, "You should also take care of your body."

Jiang Qi was silent in the dark. He originally had a lot to say, mean and resentful, but at this moment he didn't have the strength to speak.The phone in his pocket kept buzzing and vibrating, and he swiped to reject it again, "I'm leaving first."

"Jiang Qi—"

Gu Qinghan called him from behind, and said softly, "I'm very happy to meet you."

Jiang Qi turned his head and smiled mockingly, "Really?" Without waiting for his response, he turned and left.

"......Yes."

Gu Qinghan said softly.I'm really glad to see you again.

He finally couldn't stand still anymore, he squatted down frantically holding on to the railing, and pressed heavily on his already painful stomach and abdomen, his back was trembling.In the cold weather, I broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's getting late, go to bed." Jiang Qi returned to the ward, and Lin Chen sat on the bed and blinked at him.

"Brother, why don't you go back and rest too," Lin Chen said, "I can do it myself."

Jiang Qi was noncommittal and just sat down by the window.

Lin Chen is a smart person. Although Jiang Qi didn't say anything and did not act abnormally, he knew very well that this person was in a very bad mood at the moment.So he stopped talking too much, he was injured after playing wildly for a day, and now he is tired in the dead of night.He fell asleep in a daze.

Jiang Qi was still sitting there, looking out through the window.

In the early hours of the morning, he saw Gu Qinghan wearing a black down jacket coming out of the opposite hall, it seemed that he was off work.
