Comparable species

The two stalemate in the rain for a long time, but Qi Yan got out of the car with him.

Xia Shishen's car was parked not far from the gate, and when he walked to the car, Xia Shishen's arm went over Qi Yan to open the door first, and then gave Qi Yan the umbrella in his hand.Drenched in the rain, he took two steps to the back of the car and then turned around. Seeing Qi Yan who was still standing stupidly by the car, he frowned and asked him to get in the car quickly.

Qi Yan put away his umbrella and sat down in the car. Through the window, he could see Xia Shishen's tall figure circling from the trunk to the driver's seat.The rain on Xia Shishen's body dripped down his neckline. While starting the car, he threw the bag he had just taken out of the trunk to Qi Yan.

"Dry your hair." Xia Shishen lowered his head to fasten his seat belt, Qi Yan glanced at the towel in the bag, shook his head and said no.

Xia Shishen seemed to sigh. He unfastened the seat belt he had just put on, leaned close to Qi Yan, stretched out his hand to pull the seat belt on Qi Yan's seat, and fastened it with a snap.

"The water in your hair will ruin my leather seat." Xia Shi took a deep look at him.

"It's here in 8 minutes." Xia Shi gave the accelerator a deep bang, and the car jumped a long way. Qi Yan glanced at the towel in the bag, and took it out anyway.

Because of the heavy rain, the clean asphalt road was covered with mud. Xia Shishen was driving fast, and the khaki mud splashed on the car window mercilessly, with crackling sound.Qi Yan wiped his hair symbolically twice, then put the towel on his lap, and sat down with his head down as if he had lost his soul.

Xia Shishen chose the fastest road, and there were only two traffic lights for the whole journey, but they still waited at each traffic light for a full minute.

Xia Shishen left the steering wheel with both hands, reached out to grab the towel on Qi Yan's lap, and wiped his hair while waiting for the red light.

Qi Yan, who had been sitting still, finally reacted. He tilted his head, frowning as if he didn't know how to speak.

"This is what I used..."

Xia Shi's wet hair that was hanging deeply on his forehead was pushed back, his whole face was wet, water dripped down his chin, he turned his head when he heard Qi Yan's words.

"I know." Xia Shishen looked at Qi Yan's small and clean face, raised his hand and covered his head with the towel again, Qi Yan shrank his neck as if frightened, but gave up soon Struggling, let Xia Shishen rub his head with a towel.

The rest of the car was quiet.

After turning a sharp turn, Xia Shishen parked the car at the entrance of the hospital: "You go first, I'll stop."

Qi Yan unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and was about to get out of the car, but someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

"Take the umbrella." After Xia Shishen finished speaking, he quickly let go of his hand.

It was easy to find a parking space at night, Xia Shishen parked the car in the parking space closest to the main building, and took out the cell phone that was in his pocket and vibrated all the way.

"Huh?" Xia Shishen took the baseball cap from the back seat and put it on, then looked down at the side for a mask.

"Did you forget to have dinner with Nas's people at night?" There was the sound of glass colliding with the table from the opposite side. Lu Weiyang lowered his voice and asked vaguely: "Where did you go in the middle of the night? Sister Kang asked Countless times!"

"Well, I forgot." Xia Shishen hung up the phone after a few casual sentences. He put on his mask, opened the car door and walked into the rain.

As soon as he entered the hospital, the bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of disinfectant water hit his face. Even though he was drenched in summer, it was still very conspicuous for such a tall person to appear in the hospital.Xia Shi lowered the brim of his hat deeply, walked to the door of the safe passage with a bow, and was about to send a message to ask where Qi Yan was.

But he soon found Qi Yan.

Qi Yan stood at the toll gate with his messy hair, looking down at the payment slip in his hand.Not knowing what the person at the toll office said, he raised his head and twitched at the corner of his mouth at the person inside, then took out the card from his trousers pocket.

Probably the card was already so wet that it didn't look good, Qi Yan pursed his lips, rubbed the card on his clothes twice before handing it over.

"How about it."

"It's okay." Qi Yan took the form and the card from the round hole in the window, "Now the situation has stabilized. After two more nights of observation, I can transfer to the general ward the day after tomorrow."

Qi Yan went to the pharmacy to get the medicine again, and from time to time echoed some old jokes of the pharmacist. He put a small stack of receipts in his pocket, looked up and smiled deeply at Xia Shi.

"There are too many people upstairs, so don't go up." Qi Yan said, "Thank you today."

Xia Shishen was standing one meter away from him. The mask covered most of his face, revealing a pair of dark eyes.Xia Shishen didn't speak, but when Qi Yan turned and walked into the safe passage, he followed.

Along the long corridor, Qi Yan stopped at the end, leaning his back against the wall, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.The sad cry of the old man came from next door, as if the sky was falling,

It wasn't until the crying subsided that Xia Shishen said in a low voice: "It's normal for people to be born, get old, get sick and die, especially the elderly." Qi Yan stood still, and he said, "I haven't seen my grandma, because she was born when I was born. died before."

"I could die tomorrow, too."

In the quiet corridor, there was only Xia Shishen's unwavering voice. He calmly told the medical history of all his family members, wishing he could tell all the ways of death, until the person standing in the corner sniffed lightly, Xia Shishen's voice stopped abruptly.

He walked over and looked down at the fluffy head in front of him: "You are crying."

"No." Qi Yan replied.

A ray of light suddenly appeared at the end of the not-so-bright corridor. Qi Yan frowned and turned his head aside. With his eyes closed tightly, he could only see clusters of wet eyelashes, red eye circles, and non-stop eyelashes. Heaving chest.

Xia Shishen turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone, and the corridor returned to darkness. It took a long time for Xia Shishen to express his opinion again.

"You cry."

Xia Shishen's words were like a sharp thorn, piercing Qi Yan's unstable disguise in an instant. Qi Yan lowered his head, his body trembling silently at the beginning, gradually turned into a low sob.Instead of wailing like an actor on set, he curled himself into a ball, his back pressed against the cold wall behind him.

"I thought, I thought I was ready for everybody to leave me."

"But, I'm still so scared." Qi Yan's voice seemed to be far away, like a victim at the bottom of a dry well, murmuring as if resigned to his fate after calling for help countless times but getting no response.

Qi Yan was trembling all over, he buried his face in his hands, the shoulder blades that Xia Shishen used to think were beautiful, now looked a little pitiful.

Xia Shishen felt that he didn't have much empathy. He was not close to his parents who were far away abroad, let alone his grandparents who had never met.He has seen countless people shed tears, sincerely or falsely. For Xia Shishen, it was just a bodily problem of excessive tear secretion.

But Qi Yan was so sad that he cried.

"Don't cry." Xia Shi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

But Qi Yan's shoulders seemed unstoppable and kept shaking.

Xia Shi looked at him deeply for a while, then bent down, wrapped one arm around his shoulder, and put the other on his back.The person in his arms froze slightly, and the trembling stopped.

"You're too wet." Xia Shishen's voice was hoarse, as if explaining.

"I dare not hug you." Xia Shishen said, "I'm afraid you will get sick."

The last four words were added temporarily by Xia Shishen, but the effect of those words did not seem to be very good, because Qi Yan, who had calmed down, seemed to be crying again.Warm tears fell on his shoulders, and the two hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched into fists. He could even hear Qi Yan sobbing, sobbing, as if he was about to die.

Now, it became Xia Shishen who froze in place. He was like an old robot whose program hadn't been updated yet, and the data in his head was not enough to cope with such a scene.

"I said the wrong thing again." Xia Shishen pulled Qi Yan's arm back and withdrew. He bent, frowned, rubbed his fingers lightly at the tip of Qi Yan's eyes, and felt the water hanging on his fingertips. Stains, Xia Shishen's hands were stuck in the air.

He embraced the person in front of him again, and rubbed his cheek against Qi Yan's burning ears. Xia Shi deeply suppressed the feeling of powerlessness in his heart, and said hoarsely, "Don't cry, please."

Xia Shi pulled Qi Yan's hand deeply, and separated his tightly clenched fingers one by one. The snow-white palm was pinched with several red marks by the nails.

"I won't leave you." Xia Shishen expressed his position a little strangely.

He touched Qi Yan's head, lowered his eyelids, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"do not be afraid."
