Rebirth on top

In the morning, I have a splitting headache.

Accompanied by the continuous rain outside the window, Zhou Yang was drowsy and half awake.The whole body is like being immersed in deep water, the whole body is cold and uncomfortable.Touching his forehead, he guessed that he had a fever.

But it's just raining, isn't this too weak?Casting aside his poor immunity, Zhou Yang struggled to take some cold and fever-reducing medicines, but when he sat up, he felt top-heavy, and his eyes turned black from the pain in his head.

Humming and getting back under the quilt again, he remembered that he had never bought cold medicine at all, and the hot water hadn't been turned on since he came back last night.

Living alone is like this, and I will never remember what to prepare until I need it.

With the last bit of strength, I called the fast food restaurant. While asking for leave, I was nagged by Aunt Zhao, saying that young people can't take care of themselves, and they don't know how to hide when it rains!One word, stupid!

Zhou Yang felt his head hurt even more.

The rain outside the window knocked on the glass, and the sycamore leaves lost their energy, and were wet against the window.The wind that blows from time to time makes the big tree make a slight noise, and the branches sway.

The sky was very gloomy, and the room was like dusk during the day, and it was very dark without the lights on.

Zhou Yang was wrapped in a quilt and covered his temples with his hands, trying to relieve the pain a little.Sleep a little longer, sweat a little and you should be fine, right?

His strength was weak, and he was half asleep again in a daze.

I don't know the exact time, but it seems that I heard the ringtone of the mobile phone afterwards.Zhou Yang tried to answer the phone, but his movements were completely out of control, and he was so confused that he couldn't distinguish dreams from reality.The ringtone also became distant, and finally couldn't be heard directly.

In the ups and downs of consciousness, the intermittent piano sound was passed to the ears accompanied by the heavy rain, and at the same time, there was also the singing of vocal training.

That should be a student from the conservatory next door. After Zhou Yang moved here, he wanted to knock on the door more than once to complain, because that guy practiced the piano and sang at no time, and occasionally started howling at six o'clock in the morning.

Originally sick and shallow sleep, coupled with such a sound, it really makes people have the urge to drop a bomb.

The piano was playing tirelessly, and the singer began to sing non-stop after roaring a few times, "Shock——"

Zhou Yang moved his hand covering his head downwards, covered his ears, and said angrily in his heart, "Smack your uncle..."

"Pua Dao——" This sound was not accurate, the prelude was played repeatedly, and the other party seemed to be looking for the tune of the song.

You... grandpa... it's yours!Let no one live!Getting a headache from being angered again, Zhou Yang groaned in pain, and then quickly calmed down.

He kept thinking of happy things, diverting his attention.After I felt better, my thoughts settled down, and there was only a narrow slit left in my vision, with blurred water mist and swaying leaves outside.In the dark room, he closed his eyes again.

When he was about to fall asleep, the singing next door finally returned to normal——

"What the hell is Sorrow, Yang Hua Yu Luo—"

The room was very quiet, and the faint music was like a lullaby.

"Three thousand feet of black hair forced into withered willows—"

The sound of the rain was blocked outside, unable to enter or go far.

"It's the withered petals, the nostalgic bee—"

Slowly curling up into a ball is a good way to dispel the cold.

"It's the joy of the past and the torture—"

...Isn't this a good song?

The last thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Yang relaxed his body, temporarily isolating the chaos of the outside world.

Then, he had a dream.

That was when I was very young, how old was it?One or two years old.

The weather in December is heavy with snow, and the ice on the ground is thick.

I have a fever, very badly.She wrapped him tightly in a blanket, leaving only a pair of eyes, and then rushed to the hospital with her arms in her arms.

At night, the umbrella ribs were also blown off.The only man in the family was out of town, so she could only walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked very hard.

The wind and snow almost covered her voice, but it was close at hand, warm and reassuring.

At this moment, Zhou Yang stood on the old street that night, as if going back in time.He looked at their backs in the snow.He watched her look like she was about to be blown down but insisted on moving forward.He wanted to say, Mom, slow down, the road is so slippery and the snow is so heavy.

But she couldn't hear it. Holding the sick child in her arms stubbornly, she slowly disappeared into the snowy night.

They didn't meet at all, not even eye contact.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the past memories came to an abrupt end.

Zhou Yang opened his eyes.

The people outside the door were very patient, knocking politely three times each time, then pausing for a few seconds, and then continuing.

Zhou Yang still had no energy, looked sideways, and it was completely dark, and the rain still didn't stop.

I guess it must be eight or nine o'clock, I don't know who will come here at this time?Anyway, it won't be Shiwan, because that guy is not so polite.

After lying down for a while, seeing that the people outside did not show any signs of giving up, Zhou Yang was speechless.He got up slowly, because he hadn't eaten all day, his whole body was weak, and his forehead was still very hot.

After taking three steps, he finally reached the gate, turned the lock, and when he saw the person outside, his eyes widened for a moment, and he said incredulously, "...Lu Xie?"

With the help of the voice-activated lights in the corridor, Lu Xie stood in front of Zhou Yang against the light. He was wearing a light-colored shirt without a tie, buttoned up meticulously, and always had an upright and rigorous posture.

Zhou Yang never thought that this person would find his place to live, and he couldn't figure out why the other person would come.The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a moment.

Although he secretly warned that he must not lose his momentum, Zhou Yang couldn't hold on for too long, because he was too dizzy, and the uncontrollable cough was really heart-piercing.

Lu Xie frowned for a while, then grabbed his wrist.

From just now, he noticed that this person's face was pale and something was wrong, so he touched Zhou Yang's forehead directly, and then his brows furrowed deeper, "Do you have a fever?"

...Isn't this nonsense... Zhou Yang didn't have the energy to compete with the other party today, and the increasingly uncomfortable feeling made him urgently need a bed to lie down on.Withdrawing his wrist, he turned around and wanted to enter the room, but something happened that he didn't expect——

After a whirlwind, Lu Xie had already carried him on his shoulders without refusal.

His head was already hurting, and he was caught off guard by such a downward movement. Zhou Yang was in so much pain that he almost gave up: Your uncle's Lu Xie...my head...it hurts...! ! !

Of course, Lu Xie didn't know what the other party was thinking. When his eyes fell on the room, he showed a little dissatisfaction.Walking to the bed, I wanted to put him down.

This time Zhou Yang was careful, he thought that this bastard was going to throw him directly on the bed.If that's the case, he will definitely die...

Thinking of this, he put his arms around Lu Xie's neck.

Lu Xie didn't know that the other party would make such a move. When he bent down, his center of gravity was unstable. As a result, he and Zhou Yang fell on the bed together.

However, Mr. Lu, who is wise and mighty, protected Zhou Yang's head with one hand in time, and hugged the opponent's waist with the other hand, in order not to let the person's body receive too much impact.And he himself bent a long leg for support, avoiding directly pressing on Zhou Yang.

"What are you doing?" The postures of the two were very ambiguous, their chests were almost touching each other.Lu Xie could feel the hot body temperature of the person under him, as well as the scorching breath exhaled by the other person, which was impossible to ignore.It seemed that he was infected, and he faintly began to heat up.

Zhou Yang's head rested on Lu Xie's hand, he thought that this guy finally had a little conscience, so he didn't throw himself directly.But he was still dizzy, and because of the fever, there was some hazy mist in his eyes, and his hands were still around the other's neck.

"Lu Xie..." Zhou Yang said, "If you carry on...I'm really going to die..."

After finishing speaking, his eyes changed into circles in a second, as if he was about to die.

******

Time passed little by little, and the night was so dark that there was no light due to the bad weather.

Lu Xie sat by the bed, he looked out the window, his eyes swept across the living room, and returned to Zhou Yang's face.

Even in sleep, the person on the bed still frowned slightly, his pale skin was covered with abnormal flushing, his chest heaved slowly with shallow breathing, and his long and straight eyelashes cast a shadow.

He saw the black hair scattered on Zhou Yang's forehead, and suddenly remembered the touch when his fingers touched them just now, soft and obedient, like a child.People can't help but want to rub them and kiss them again.

In fact, Lu Xie did so.He reached out and rubbed the top of Zhou Yang's hair, but he didn't kiss him.

After a while, he finally took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Chongyan, drive out now, immediately, immediately," Lu Xie ordered calmly, "Come and see a patient for me."

As boss Lu's assistant and a personal doctor, a classmate who was in trouble held his mobile phone in a mess in the wind, wanting to cry but not crying.

Speaking of Li Chongyan, apart from being an assistant and a doctor, he has another special feature, that is - he and Lu Xie are actually cousins.My mother and Lu Xie's father are brothers and sisters.

Li Chongyan's mother didn't like to go into business, so she never returned to the path of a strong woman in politics. Now she is a high-ranking leader in the judicial system, and her father is in the Ministry of Public Security.Such parents would definitely plan their children's path strictly, but fortunately, Li Chongyan has a twin elder brother, who fully complied with his parents' expectations and joined the court at a young age, so he was happy and relaxed.

Li Chongyan loved to hang out with Lu Xie since he was a child. When he grew up, he graduated from medical school, but he didn't want to go to any hospital, so he went directly to his uncle's company.

Thinking that everyone has their own aspirations, and besides, it is my own brother's company.Li Chongyan's mother didn't say anything more, anyway, there was a successor in the family, so she also turned a blind eye to Li Chongyan: as long as she didn't cause trouble and behaved, she would go with him.

Now, when he drove to the place designated by Lu Xie, he saw that the man was already waiting downstairs.Li Chongyan was very curious, "Who is making you so troublesome at night?"

"A young singer from 'Night', has a high fever. Let you take a look."

"...It's just a fever, cover it with the quilt all night, and sweat a little..." Li Chongyan looked embarrassed.After babbling, he suddenly thought of something. Xu Wangchuan said that Lu Xie had found a new lover. Could it be this?Reasoning is very possible, otherwise you said you had a fever at night, why are you so nervous?

Li Chongyan, who thought he had broken the secret, chuckled, and asked treacherously, "Hey, brother, is this your new little lover?"

Lu Xie denied it very simply, "No."

"...Just tell the truth to me, I swear that I will not tell uncle, and I will absolutely never leak the secret to Wang Chuan and Xiang Rong."

"If you gossip again, your wages will be deducted. Hurry up and see a patient."

"...exploiting employees, black-hearted boss..."

Lu Xie raised his chin and asked, "Any comments?"

…… Li Chongyan silently went to see a doctor with a sad and indignant face.

******

When Zhou Yang woke up, he was still a little dizzy.There was a blur in front of my eyes, and I could vaguely feel the blurred light.

The rain continued, beating against the windows.

He closed his eyes again for a moment and opened them again, he saw the dark night outside, and the warm orange desk lamp in the room made people feel warm.

Turning his eyes slightly, Lu Xie was sitting next to him, and the man was leaning on the head of the bed a little, flipping through a book leisurely under the light.The soft and warm light reflected the silhouette of the other party, with a hazy and gentle arc.

Contrary to the continuous heavy rain in the cold weather, the place where they are at the moment is dry and comfortable, and the atmosphere is too comfortable. Zhou Yang has never encountered such a moment - waking up from the darkness in the middle of the night, and there is another person guarding by his side, talking to each other. Get along quietly without interruption.People sometimes feel lonely, especially when illness brings negative emotions.So a lamp is always accompanied by one person, that kind of feeling is like impetuous precipitation, and I feel at ease without saying a word.

So Zhou Yang didn't speak, just watched Lu Xie for a long time, feeling such a rare moment.He really doesn't understand this person, who speaks with thorns, and now does something out of character.Is this guy really a psycho?That's why it is always unpredictable, and it is impossible to speculate with normal thinking.

Zhou Yang slowly reached out and gently tugged at Lu Xie's sleeve.

Lu Xie turned his head, the book was closed casually, he leaned down and said, "Is it better?"

Nodding, Zhou Yang didn't speak.

They looked at each other for a while, and then, almost at the same time, they spoke.

"are you hungry?"

"Are you sleepy?"

"..." Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing, he said, "Well, I'm hungry."

Lu Xie helped him up from the bed, and the two of them were close, so the tip of his nose brushed against Zhou Yang's hair unintentionally, which had a faint orange fragrance.After a pause for a few seconds, he replied, "I'm fine, not too sleepy."

At 03:30 in the morning, two people were sitting on the floor, and the bookshelves that took up the entire wall smelled of stale paper.

Zhou Yang drank the porridge very slowly, while Lu Xie wrapped a thin blanket around his body while holding a cup of hot milk himself.

I really didn't expect that the two of them would have such a calm and peaceful time together.

"You..." Zhou Yang raised his eyes and asked, "How do you know that I live here?"

"In Beijing, if I want to find someone, there is still a way."

... Zhou Yang thought that this question was a waste of time for him, so he changed the subject and said, "Did you cook this porridge? It's very good."

Lu Xie said without blushing, "I asked my family to do it. I don't know much about it."

Isn't it... and even alarmed the other party's family?Zhou Yang was frightened, "...I'm so sorry for troubling your family."

"It's okay, he is idle, and I just found something for him to do."

... Is this indifferent tone really okay...?Zhou Yang shed a tear of sympathy for Lu Xie's family, and he was a little embarrassed to think that it was all because of himself.He said slowly, "Well... thank you so much today."

Lu Xie raised his eyebrows, and said with a faint smile, "It's rare to see you so obedient."

... If you hadn't been sick often, I could have been so friendly forever!Zhou Yang is very upset, and the temper that he can't help but yell after saying a few words is completely caused by you!

After a few minutes of silence, Lu Xie asked, "I heard that you plan to resign?"

"Yes, I mentioned this to Sister Hong, and she said she would tell you."

"Why go? Because of what I said?"

"...No. I planned to leave that day, but because you guys wanted to come over, I didn't make it, so I sang for another night." Zhou Yang said jokingly, "Even if it's tens of thousands a night, it's not suitable for me." This sentence The words were Lu Xie's original words, and Zhou Yang used them to tease him again.

Lu Xie looked at Zhou Yang quietly for a moment. Of course he knew how ugly what he said that day, but he couldn't lower his face and apologize.From childhood to adulthood, the Lu family gave themselves endless pride and the envious eyes of others, so Lu Xie was very selfish and wanted him to apologize to others in a serious manner. This kind of thing has never happened so far. .

Back then in Qingshan Town, letting Zhou Yang come to Kaisheng was already an exception.From the discomfort of being rejected to now that Zhou Yang came to Beijing but chose to go to the bar, and he has such a good attitude towards Xu Wangchuan.All of Lu Xie's dissatisfaction finally broke out.If he wants the other party to come to Kaisheng, he can't say it a second time. He has his own temper. People in the Lu family will never beg others to do something. He is used to waiting for others to beg himself.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Zhou Yang didn't explain any more.He can probably understand Lu Xie's thoughts. A person who has always been pampered doesn't need to take it to heart even if he says something wrong or does something wrong, because others will come to stalk him and apologize.Although Zhou Yang has no money or power, he has his own persistence and bottom line, and he will never compromise for the wrong things.In the final analysis, it is stubbornness.There is one thing to say, if there is no mistake first, then never let him give in first.

Therefore, it is not without reason that these two people often have a few words, quarrel, and ignore each other. They are both bad tempered, and no one is willing to compromise.

Just like now, when the other party doesn't apologize, Zhou Yang is reluctant to say more, and the atmosphere is about to become cold again.

In the end, it was Lu Xie who spoke first, "Go to bed, it's only four o'clock."

"...Hmm." It's okay if the topic is changed.But facing this embarrassing moment, Zhou Yang felt a little helpless, "Can you rest together too?" After all, this man guarded himself for most of the night, so it is not easy to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he still has to have the basic courtesy he should have.

Who would have thought that when Lu Xie heard this, the corners of his lips suddenly raised, his black eyes seemed to be teasing, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Yang immediately said, "I've changed my mind, you should go home quickly."

Lu Xie laughed out loud this time, and he asked, "Will you go to bed by yourself, or should I hug you?"

"...Every time you ask my opinion, you still take my words as bullshit in the end." Zhou Yang climbed onto the bed with a black hair, "So I think I just do it directly, and I'm a fool to answer your questions. "

The two of them slept on the same bed, covered with a quilt.

Lu Xie asked, "Is it still cold?"

Zhou Yang shook his head.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright.
