"You, you are..."

Ji Cixi grabbed Chen Yuanzhen's arm, opened her eyes and looked at her.

It seemed that it was the first time she saw Chen Yuanzhen so at a loss.

Subconsciously, she tightened her grip on Chen Yuanzhen, and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with you? You're so reckless."

Chen Yuanzhen suddenly came back to her senses, seeing the person in front of her, for some reason, she had an inexplicable urge to cry, before she could wait for Ji Cixi to react, she suddenly hugged Ji Cixi into her arms.

Chen Yuanzhen's coat was still cold outside, Ji Cixi leaned on her shoulder, and suddenly shuddered, she didn't understand what happened to Chen Yuanzhen, and she wanted to know urgently, so she struggled slightly, trying to break away from her shackles.

It's just that Chen Yuanzhen hugged her very tightly and urgently this time.Ji Cixi struggled a few times, but finally could only stay in her arms obediently.

Perhaps because he couldn't break free, or because he lost his temper with Chen Yuanzhen, Ji Cixi obediently let Chen Yuanzhen hug him for almost a minute, before finally speaking in a hoarse voice next to her ear:

"What happened to you?"

The hot air exhaled by Ji Cixi lingered in Chen Yuanzhen's ears, itching along the hair sticking to her face, she rubbed against Ji Cixi, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."

Ji Cixi sighed silently, she looked around, although the top floor was a VIP ward, and there were not many people, but after all, there were nurses and doctors who came and went, seeing them looking at her strangely, Ji Cixi felt a little uncomfortable, so she stretched out her hand to pat her. He patted Chen Yuanzhen on the back.

"Let go of me first."

Who knew it would be fine if she didn't say it, but when she said it, Chen Yuanzhen hugged her even tighter.

Ji Cixi had nothing to say, so she could only spread her hands, expressing that it was up to her.

After a while, Ji Cixi said angrily again: "Let me tell you, I haven't calmed down about the things you kept from me before, so let me go!"

While she was talking, she suddenly saw Chen Yuanzhen's side face was horribly pale, and the hair on his forehead was already soaked with sweat.She was surprised when Chen Yuanzhen let her go suddenly.

Then he knelt down directly.

"Hello! Chen Yuanzhen, hello!"

Ji Cixi hurriedly squatted down to support Chen Yuanzhen's body, she saw Chen Yuanzhen's eyes half closed, as if he was about to faint, Ji Cixi was so frightened that he reached out and patted her face, calling her name anxiously while patting.

When his consciousness became a little clearer, Chen Yuanzhen forced a smile, raised his hand softly and said it was okay.But Ji Cixi was not a fool, and immediately stopped the nurse who happened to pass by.

Chen Yuanzhen's illness was not serious, it was acute gastritis.

After the doctor and Ji Cixi finished talking about the illness, they added another sentence.

"Miss Chen has endured so much."

Ji Cixi was taken aback when he heard the words, and the doctor said, "Go back and look at her palms and you'll know."

Ji Cixi returned to the ward, Chen Yuanzhen was still lying on the bed and fell asleep at this time, Ji Cixi stepped forward lightly, raised her hand, only to see that the palm of her hand was covered in blood, and the other hand was also the same.

It is often described in novels that the protagonist's fingernails are stuck in the palm of his hand in order to endure great pain.Ji Cixi never took this sentence seriously, it was just an exaggerated description of the author, but today, she saw the truth.

Ji Cixi felt angry in her heart, but she couldn't express it because she was too distressed.

The fire stagnated in his heart, and finally turned into heavy sighs.She looked at Chen Yuanzhen's pale face, she reached out to brush away Chen Yuanzhen's hair, and gently stroked her face.

With such delicate skin, she really is just a girl in her twenties.

What would other people be doing when Chen Yuanzhen was this age?Ji Cixi couldn't help thinking.

But after thinking for a long time, Ji Cixi didn't have a clue.

In the end, Ji Cixi understood that in her small heart, people in their twenties who could no longer accommodate others, naturally couldn't imagine it.

After about an hour or two, Chen Yuanzhen woke up slowly.

Looking up and seeing the white ceiling, Chen Yuanzhen closed his eyes again, and opened them completely after a while.

She made a gesture to sit up, but before she could move much, she heard Ji Cixi's voice beside her.

"do not move."

If you don't move, don't move, Chen Yuanzhen really didn't dare to move, but turned to look at Ji Cixi.

"Do you think I'm on vacation, so you let me take care of two patients at once?" Ji Cixi asked, crossing her arms.

"I……"

"Stop talking." Ji Cixi interrupted, "At least stay here for two days before talking about anything else."

She pursed her lips and said helplessly, "No matter what you do, the foundation is your body. I'm not wrong about that."

Chen Yuanzhen didn't speak.

"Go to sleep again."

After all, Ji Cixi stood up and planned to go out. Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhen quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go home and cook some porridge for you and Zhou Ming." Ji Cixi said, "Especially for you, the doctor said that you can only eat liquid food for the past few days, so I don't feel at ease about what other people cook."

Ji Cixi had been gone for about two hours, and the sky seemed to be dark. When Chen Yuanzhen woke up from the dream again, Ji Cixi was already sitting beside her reading a book.

Ji Cixi is farsighted, so she usually wears glasses when working and studying.

Chen Yuanzhen saw that she was reading seriously, so he didn't bother her, but just looked at her quietly.

Ji Cixi's appearance is the same as her personality, although she is beautiful, she always has an aura of not being close to strangers.Chen Yuanzhen also gossiped before, asking her if she was in a relationship when she was in school, but the answer she got was Ji Cixi's ignorance.

At that time, Chen Yuanzhen was still secretly sour in her heart, thinking that she refused to say, maybe she had done it.But after she got along with Ji Cixi, Chen Yuanzhen was relieved again.

She was sure that Ji Cixi, like her, had never been in love.

But all of this changed after Ji Cixi put on the glasses. The inherent indifference on Ji Cixi wearing glasses was transformed into gentleness, much softer.

Chen Yuanzhen looked at her, and suddenly felt a lot of envy.

Whether it's the indifferent her or the gentle one, Chen Yuanzhen can always find the light in Ji Cixi's eyes that he never had before.

Unlike her, whether it is heavy makeup or removed at home.Her eyes are always filled with haze that cannot be dissipated.

She felt that maybe it was because Ji Cixi possessed something that she had always longed for but could not reach, that she was now fascinated by Ji Cixi.

Yes, obsession.

Chen Yuanzhen was never afraid to admit this, and the reason she never spoke up was to protect Ji Cixi.

She had dragged Ji Cixi into a world she shouldn't have stepped into, and Chen Yuanzhen knew that she could no longer be selfish.

Her original thought was that after everything was over, she would return Ji Xu to Ji Cixi unharmed, and then set her free.

But now, looking at the woman in front of him, Chen Yuanzhen didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Are you awake?" Ji Cixi looked up, she closed the book in her hand, Chen Yuanzhen glanced at it, it was "The Record of Anxiety" by Fernando Pessoa.

"What are you doing looking at me like that?" Ji Cixi asked as she opened the thermos, filled a bowl of white porridge and walked to Chen Yuanzhen.

She put the porridge bowl aside, helped Chen Yuanzhen sit up first, and then handed the porridge bowl to her.

"I'm not very good at cooking, you know, this is white porridge, you can make do with it."

Chen Yuanzhen glanced at the bowl, raised his head and asked, "Where's Zhou Ming?"

"I brought two buckets of porridge. Zhou Ming will be taken care of by a nurse, so you don't have to worry."

Chen Yuanzhen nodded when she heard the words, but she still didn't take the porridge bowl. After a while, she suddenly raised her head again and grinned at Ji Cixi.

"You feed me."

Ji Cixi was taken aback when he heard the words, then frowned and said, "Zhou Ming injured his shoulder so he asked someone to feed him, why are you?"

"Then you fed him?" Chen Yuanzhen made a point.

"No." Ji Cixi replied simply, "Didn't I mention that there are nurses."

Chen Yuanzhen was satisfied with this, but he still refused to take the porridge bowl, but muttered to himself: "How can a sick patient eat by himself..."

The author has something to say: I'm not in a good mood today, let's sprinkle some sugar.
