God said I would meet you

The days passed by.

The little cousin would come over twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and sometimes at night to see how Lin Jinyu was doing.

Zhang Xinli has to go to work for quite a long time every day, and he really can’t take care of him 24 hours a day, so he can only ask his little cousin to help him first, but no matter whether it’s the little cousin or the roommates who rent together, everyone is not a vagrant. When he was free, he could only take away Lin Jinyu's keys and let him stay in the house alone, at least not to go out of this door.

I thought I could barely cope with it like this, until one day, when my little cousin came over in the morning, he found that Lin Jinyu had cut himself.

The wound was at the corner of the mandible, it wasn't serious, it was just a small bleeding gash, which could be covered with a band-aid, but it still scared the little cousin a lot.

Lin Jinyu lightly said that he accidentally got it while shaving, but——Zhang Xinli knew that his own razor was automatic, and the two of them had never shared a razor before, so the wound caused by that blade was more or less intentional The ingredients cannot be 100% accidental.

"Is there any acquaintance who can help you temporarily?" The little cousin spent about three or four hours a day with his cousin this week, and was enveloped by the low air pressure around him every day. He felt very painful and almost suspected that he would be killed. Depressed: "It's too worrying. I'm really afraid that I will see something bloody when I open the door one day."

Zhang Xinli spent more than four times as much time with Lin Jinyu as he did: "Let me think about it..." He said, "Let me think about it."

When Lin Jinyu just came back from the hospital, she even refused to stay in the same space with others. Zhang Xinli asked him to stay in the room at night when she went to sleep, and slept on the sofa in the living room by herself. Now the situation is better, Lin Jinyu will sit by herself most of the time Zhang Xinli didn't dare to sleep with him like he did before.

"I'll try to come as early as possible in the future, and when you go to work, the handover will be seamless," said the little cousin, "it's not so exhausting to take care of children."

Really exhausting, but that's his family.

After that, Zhang Xinli didn't dare to sleep, and couldn't sleep anymore. The little cousin saw him sitting on the stool next to him when he came over several times early in the morning, and guessed that he was on guard all night.

"It's not necessary," he said, "It's just taking care of the child. When the child is not crying at night, he should sleep and eat. What are you doing?"

"No," Zhang Xinli only said, "I can't sleep by myself."

He seemed so powerless that he couldn't do anything. He could only watch Lin Jinyu struggling and fighting alone.

If things go on like this, there is no solution. The acute stage requires the family members to devote double manpower and energy to take care of them, but they don't have to hide where they can find a third one. Sick person?

Just when Zhang Xinli and his little cousin were exhausted and unable to do anything, the arrival of a second hand brought a turn for the better.

——Xu Zhao is on autumn vacation.

Everyone has a few friends like this. You don't have to worry about it in the morning and evening, you don't have to ask for instructions early and report late, and you don't have to rack your brains to maintain the relationship carefully. Be abrupt or awkward.

……

Zhang Xinli received his call at six o'clock in the morning. At that time, he was holding a glass of water and forcing Lin Jinyu to take medicine.

"Where are you people?" Xu Zhao didn't make any empty greetings, and went straight to the point, his voice was as loud as ever: "I flew in a time zone, and you treat me to a hot door?!"

"?" Zhang Xinli was busy fighting wits, didn't look at the caller ID, and was still holding Lin Jinyu's hand at this moment. He reacted for two seconds before he recognized who the voice was: "What are you talking about?"

After Xu Zhao returned to China, he went home and reported to his old man and then went out. He was "busy with his studies" and didn't even know that the two of them had moved, so he went straight to the place Lin Jinyu rented before. a trip.

Thanks to the fact that the new tenant was not at home, otherwise with Xu Zhao's loud voice and slamming door, maybe people would call the police and arrest him.

Lin Jinyu still refused to take the medicine. Every time he took the medicine, it was like fighting a war. Zhang Xinli was so busy that he hung up the phone at first, but looking at him now, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Are you back?" Said: "In Shanghai?"

"Isn't that nonsense, thank you for the invitation, I just got off the plane in Shanghai," Xu Zhao said, "What's the matter with the whale, I called him [-] times and couldn't get through."

Lin Jinyu hasn't paid the phone bill this month, so it's probably due to overpayment. No wonder the harassing calls have disappeared in the past few days.Zhang Xinli said: "He..." He gave an address: "I moved, are you coming?"

"Why do you live well enough to move? It's not enough." Xu Zhao didn't talk nonsense, "Please come here, I'll have a drink with you." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and rushed out with a "chuckle".

Then within half an hour, the doorbell rang.

The action group really lived up to its reputation. After half an hour, Zhang Xinli still couldn't find a way to stuff the medicine in today, so he had to put water first to open the door.

"What about the whale man, why don't you come out to greet him?" The guy just entered the door with half a foot and said, "I'm not going to die soon."

"Keep down," Zhang Xinli said, "The sound insulation is not good, and the others haven't woken up yet."

"Oh, it's only past six in the morning in China," Xu Zhao said, "I'm sorry, I'm still jet-lagged."

"Where's the whale?" he asked.

Zhang Xinli glanced at the door. In fact, he had no idea. He didn't know whether Xu Zhao's arrival was good or bad. Without prior notice, an old friend suddenly came to play with him. Would he accept it?

Following his gaze, Xu Zhao automatically understood: "You're still sleeping in the room, right? Got it, I'm going to use it as an alarm clock!" After speaking like a rabbit, he opened the door and rushed in.

Zhang Xinli was hesitating whether to explain the situation to him, but after a few words, Xu Zhao had already plunged into it.

Lin Jinyu's posture was the same as Zhang Xinli's when he went out, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his back to the door, looking out the window, Xu Zhao was a hungry tiger, and went up and said, "Your uncle misses me so much!"

Zhang Xinli didn't follow in. He stood at the door, frozen like a defendant waiting for the verdict. He was afraid that there would be some bad news coming from the door. Lin Jinyu's reaction was already slow, like a withered tree. , I almost broke my waist.

Xu Zhao put his shoulders on his shoulders, put his arms around him, and said, "Speak, why didn't you respond? You were so excited to see me that you couldn't speak? No matter who told you, you couldn't get through on the phone."

"..." It has been a week or two, and Lin Jinyu has calmed down a lot, but she still doesn't talk to Zhang Xinli much. If it was changed to the time when she just came back from the hospital, Xu Zhao's arrival might be counterproductive, but now it is just right.

"Are you waking up or not?" Xu Zhao said, "I didn't book a hotel, can you let me lie down in this bed? I'll get some jet lag while I sleep, and I'll have some drinks at noon later."

Zhang Xinli stood outside the door, holding his breath and waiting for Lin Jinyu's reaction.

Xu Zhao didn't know the news of his relapse at all. The brat and straight man didn't notice anything wrong at the moment, and just treated him completely as usual. Lin Jinyu turned her head and looked at him for a while as if she was choking. Said expressionlessly: "...Get off, you didn't take off your shoes."

His slight obsession with cleanliness can't bear people wearing outside shoes on his bed, even when he's sick.

"What are you talking about, we have a father-son relationship, so I didn't take off my shoes," Xu Zhao put his arm around his shoulders and put his arms around him: "Hey."

"..." Lin Jinyu said, "Crazy."

To him, Xu Zhao's arrival was too sudden, without any letter, which made him a little curious: "Why are you..." Lin Jinyu didn't see Zhang Xinli, thinking he was not there, and said, "Why are you here. "

Xu Zhao replied, "I'll be back after the holiday."

The holidays in Australia are different from those in China. In addition to public holidays, each state has its own holidays, and it does not have winter and summer holidays like in China. Their schools have spring, summer, autumn and winter holidays.

Xu Zhao was originally the kind of person who would not flinch or be embarrassed even if no one spoke to him, and could go on talking on his own. He babbled for a while about the things he had encountered recently, most of which were embarrassing things that made people laugh and boys would talk to each other. The kind of color jokes they made, they used to sit together like this before, chatting wildly.

Although Lin Jinyu didn't show enthusiasm, she didn't show any repulsion either. Zhang Xinli heaved a sigh of relief.

Unlike Zhang Xinli and his little cousin, Xu Zhao really treats him as a normal person, he doesn't try to curry favor with him, and he's not careful as if he's afraid that he'll be broken. He spoke or made him happy with a strong purpose, which made Lin Jinyu feel relaxed.

Zhang Xinli waited outside the door for a while. Seeing that the time had come, he took the medicine and passed it to him without saying anything.

"..." Lin Jinyu looked at the big and small pills that he had just rejected countless times, and didn't know what expression to show.

Zhang Xinli stretched out his hand in front of him again, Lin Jinyu looked up at him, frowned, and turned her head away.

"?" Xu Zhao said: "Why, why don't you eat it? Don't you eat it all the time? You've got it right now. Children are afraid of taking bitter medicine. It's also tasteless."

Lin Jinyu didn't speak, Zhang Xinli touched Xu Zhao with the back of his hand, and handed him the medicine and water in silence.

"?" Xu Zhao was at a loss, and inexplicably passively picked it up, with a confused face, and sent it to Lin Jinyu along the inertia like a mental retardation.

Intellectually, Lin Jinyu also knew that he had to eat. He just... couldn't control himself. He was really annoyed, resisted, and didn't want to eat. He wanted to beg God and Buddha to let everyone leave him alone.

Zhang Xinli looked at him for a moment, then turned and left.

What many people don't know is that sometimes the more caring people are, the more pressure they will bring to patients, because when people are in a negative state, they tend to feel guilty. The more careful and caring people are, the more their The stronger the sense of guilt, Zhang Xinli's departure made Lin Jinyu feel the air loosen.

Xu Zhao said, "Hurry up, my hands are so fucking sore."

Lin Jinyu was silent for a moment, and ate slowly.

Xu Zhao glanced at the direction Zhang Xinli was leaving, and felt a little strange. He thought: What's the situation? Why did Zhang Xinli not eat it when he gave it to him, and deliberately signaled me to go out? Aren't they just a couple of dogs?Could it be... There was a quarrel?
