song for the city

Chapter 43 Popsicles

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiang Pei was woken up by the phone, turned over, and reached for the phone beside the bed in a daze.The phone rang endlessly, and he looked at the screen with half-empty eyes, and suddenly he lost all sleepiness.

The word hospital is extremely eye-catching, like a basin of cold water pouring on Xiang Pei's head.

No matter how drowsy he was, he was fully awake, Xiang Pei answered the phone, and the nurse said that Xiang Guoye suffered from respiratory failure and was pushed into the emergency room.

Earlier, Xiang Pei left a phone call with the nurse, saying that in addition to informing Xiang Guo's wife, please also inform him.

It was Xiang Guo's wish. He wanted Xiang Pei to be by his side before he died. Xiang Pei still wanted to do his best to do this.

Xiang Pei got out of bed in a hurry, touched the leg of the bed with his toes in a hurry, and jumped up in pain, the movement might be too loud.Liang Zhang next door woke up, stumbled over to turn on the light, and asked what happened to Pei.

The light hurt my eyes, and I couldn't hide it from Pei, so I had to confess: "My dad is in the emergency room."

"I will go with you."

Before he could respond to Pei, Liang Zhang went to the bathroom first and splashed cold water on his face.He didn't have time to change clothes, the underarms of his vest were wide open, and he could see everything inside just by raising his arms. Xiang Pei picked up his coat from the sofa and put it on Liang Zhang.

There was no car on the road, and Xiang Pei drove at a very high speed. Liang Zhang was wearing a helmet, but he still felt his head was about to fly off, so he hugged Xiang Pei's waist in fear.

It didn't take long to arrive at the hospital, and Xiang Guo was still in the rescue. Wu Li and her daughter were sitting on a chair outside. The girl had her summer homework on her lap, and she was dozing off on her mother's shoulder. Sluggish, a piece of crumpled white paper in the palm of his hand.

Guessing that she was too sad and not in the mood to intrigue with Xiang Pei, Wu Li raised her eyes and glanced at Xiang Pei lightly, her lips parted and then closed, and finally said nothing, staring anxiously at the light on the emergency room.

Xiang Pei and Liang Zhang chose a seat farthest from them to sit, head to tail, the hospital corridor is the Chu River Han boundary, they reached a silent tacit understanding at this time, this is the only time in this life.

"When did you know?" Xiang Pei asked Liang Zhang.

Liang Zhang lowered his eyelashes and spread shadows under his eyelids. He whispered, "I came to the hospital to look for Brother Jing that day, and I met my uncle."

Xiang Pei breathed a sigh of relief, her hair rested softly on her shoulders.Following the changes in Liang Zhang's expression, he found the first relief since answering the phone in Liang Zhang's peaceful expression.

The shoulders relaxed, and he said to Pei: "That's it."

"Why didn't you tell me? You still have to talk to Chen Zhaonan outside the door."

"You guessed it," Xiang Pei blinked bitterly, getting closer to Liang Zhang, and they were completely stuck together, "I'm sorry. I don't want to tell you, maybe I'm afraid of exposing my fragility in front of you."

Sometimes people who are too strong may be vulnerable to parting. Xiang Pei has self-knowledge. He is afraid that Liang Zhang will reveal a corner and find that he is nothing more than that.

Looking around, Liang Zhang secretly clenched Xiang Pei's hand, his five fingers embedded in his fingers, hidden in the pocket of his trousers, separated by the fabric of the trousers, as if he was reading comics on the desk in class, and doing some little tricks , Fear of being discovered, and a sense of accomplishment.

"I welcome your vulnerability at any time. Isn't that what couples do? It's okay to accept the worst in each other."

Xiang Pei scratched Liang Zhang's palm, pretending to be worried and said, "Then if I wake up in the morning and don't brush my teeth, will you still kiss me?"

Liang Zhang said righteously: "Didn't I also not brush my teeth? This is called fighting poison with poison."

Xiang Pei lowered his voice and chuckled, his upper body trembled slightly, and his eyebrows raised: "Then you can sleep with me so that you can kiss me every morning."

"Ah?" Liang Zhang's voice was distorted due to surprise, his frightened eyes swam over Xiang Pei, wondering if Xiang Pei was joking, and didn't think about how to answer.

It would be a lie to say that I don't look forward to it. The last time I shared the bed with Xiang Pei, Liang Zhang was happy for several days, but they slept together as soon as they established a relationship. Isn't the progress a bit too fast?Liang Zhang felt that his little heart couldn't bear to wake up every morning to face Pei's handsome face.

Xiang Pei: "Are you shy?"

Liang Zhang raised his chin: "A real man is never shy."

"Then I'll take it as your promise."

Xiang Pei looked at Liang Zhang, regretting that they were in the hospital.He suddenly wanted to kiss Liang Zhang, his mouth and earlobes were fine, his earlobes must be hot.

Wu Li didn't know why, and said abruptly in the silent corridor: "Xiang Guo has an old wallet with a picture of your mother in it. He thought I never found it." She looked at Xiang Pei's face carefully, "That woman looks exactly like you, so I hate you, or I can say I'm jealous of that woman, she's so beautiful."

I didn't want to hit her to admit jealousy generously, but there was not much jealousy left in her eyes, probably time has passed.

Xiang Pei didn't bother to talk to her about her self-statement, as if she was accusing Xiang Guo of cheating, but it wasn't the case.He didn't even want to give Wu Li alms.

Saying a word to an irrelevant person is a waste to Xiang Pei, even looking at it is tiring.

Hearing that Xiang Guo's wife was mentioned to Pei before, Liang Zhang might as well hold his breath to Pei, straighten his body, and said disdainfully, "So? It's none of Xiang Pei's business."

With one against two, Wu Li knew that she had no chance of winning, and snorted coldly: "Your mother is not a good person, and I think you will be the same in the future. Genes are so powerful."

After she finished speaking, she leaned back in the chair and rolled her eyes. It was a miracle that she didn't roll them out.

Liang Zhang wished he hadn't inherited his mother's skill of eloquence, his teeth were itching with anger, and when he was about to speak after a while, he tugged at Pei's tail and shook his head as a gesture.

Xiang Pei said: "Then you picked up my mother's fault?"

Wu Li stared, and the daughter next to her woke up, and she forced back the words stuck in the middle of her throat, and her throat squirmed.

Withdrew his cold eyes from Pei, only feeling tired.Compared with Wu Li, he hated the mother who gave birth to him even more.

Xiang Guo was out of danger and transferred back to the general ward. The doctor talked to the family members and said that although his life was saved this time, it was nothing more than temporary comfort, and it would be better to prepare for the funeral as early as possible.

Xiang Pei stayed in the hospital until dawn. Wu Li sent her daughter home earlier, and the child could not stay overnight.At dawn, she came to the hospital again, brought breakfast, and bought a copy for Xiang Pei and Liang Zhang, telling them to go back after eating, they are not needed here.

Liang Zhang was embarrassed to eat, but Wu Li smiled grimly, saying that she might be afraid that she might poison her breakfast.Without hesitation, Xiang Pei swallowed his breakfast in twos and twos, and then took Liang Zhang away.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, the street gradually became noisy, and the sun began to show its temperature.

Liang Zhang jumped off his motorcycle and saw that the canteen downstairs opened, and his aunt was cleaning at the door.

"I'll treat you to popsicles!" Liang Zhang looked back at Pei, jumping to buy popsicles.

Xiang Pei said helplessly: "Eat popsicles early in the morning, so I won't be afraid of spoiling my stomach."

"Don't be afraid, it's hot."

Liang Zhang jumped forward, and there was still a mark on his skin, which was made by sleeping on the hospital table last night.

The summer morning wasn't too hot, and the room was quite stuffy, and the two of them touched the roof to eat popsicles, and there was still a bit of cool wind blowing.

Liang Zhang pressed his tongue against the popsicle, his legs were swinging leisurely in the air, and his hands were propped behind his back, next to Xiang Pei's.

There is nothing more pleasant than now, a popsicle washed away the boredom in the hospital.

Xiang Pei likes to bite popsicles one bite at a time, and a small piece of ice-cold ice goes down his throat and enters his stomach, which cools him down.

After eating half of the popsicle, there was a moaning and chirping sound beside him. He turned his head towards Pei Weiqi, and saw that Liang Zhang's popsicle stuck to his tongue and couldn't get it off. Pulling it hard made his tongue hurt again. He hummed anxiously, unable to hear the specific words What happened, looks very silly.

Xiang Pei laughed out loud, tears secreting from the corners of his eyes.

"Why are you so stupid." Wiping the corners of Xiang Pei's eyes, Liang Zhang pushed him, with his round eyes open without any threat.

"Immediately." Xiang Pei said.

Xiang Pei leaned over and licked the junction of the popsicle and Liang Zhang's tongue with the tip of his tongue. Xiang Pei's tongue was so hot that the popsicle fell off Liang Zhang's tongue.

The popsicle melted quickly, and the juice dripped onto Liang Zhang's fingers along the stick, and then fell to the ground, leaving dark circles.Liang Zhang and Xiang Pei looked at each other in the wind, their hearts beating wildly.Liang Zhang smacked his lips, as if he was reminiscing the taste of popsicles, and also reminiscing the taste of Xiang Pei's tongue.

"So sweet."

Sweeter than any popsicle he's ever had.

Liang Zhang caught up with Xiang Pei's lips, bringing a piece of ice between their lips.

It was the second time he took the initiative to kiss Pei, but it was the first time he really learned how to kiss.
