Chapter 21
Ji Ruan still has a cold.
There was something wrong when I opened my eyes in the morning, the top of the mosquito net turned more violently than when the blood sugar was low, Ji Ruan closed his eyes slowly, and opened them again, but it still didn’t work, his head was dizzy, and his temples were swollen and painful.
He swallowed a candy, got up and sat with his back against the wall for a while, the dizziness eased, and then slowly got out of bed.
Because of dizziness, Ji Ruan stepped on every step very carefully, but he missed the step and was frightened so that he clung to the stairs tightly, his heart was beating wildly, but his brain was a little clearer.
When Han Xiaolin woke up, he heard that Ji Ruan was coughing intermittently, and sometimes he bent down to support the table.
“Ji Ruan, are you okay?” Han Xiaolin came out of the bathroom with toothpaste foam on his mouth.
Ji Ruan waved his hand. He just took a throat lozenge and drank a lot of hot water. His throat finally felt better. He said slowly, “Brush your teeth, the foam will fall off your clothes…” Han Xiaolin bowed his
head After looking at it, there was indeed a pile of white foam on the black T-shirt, and he rushed back to the bathroom screaming.
Ji Ruan looked at his bluffing back, shook his head with a smile, and picked up his phone to look at it casually.
Mr. Gu got up again at 5:30, and at 5:35 he sent a message: [How are you doing? ]
Ji Ruan glanced at the time, it is seven o’clock, Gu Xiuyi may have just finished exercising and was still taking a shower, so he replied calmly:
[I have a cold, are you okay? ]
The other person replied in seconds: [I didn’t get caught in the rain yesterday. ]
In fact, even if it gets wet, it is impossible for Gu Xiuyi to catch a cold with Gu Xiuyi’s physique. This is just to prevent the children from falling behind.
He wiped his hair and typed with one hand, his wet face looked even sharper, and a drop of water fell from the tip of his hair on the screen, which was instantly scratched off by his thumb: [I’ll let Xiaoya
deliver the medicine later, which door are you going to?] convenient? ]
Ji Ruan had to go to the library to choose courses later, thought for a while and replied: [Let’s go to the main entrance, I will arrive at the library around eight o’clock. ]
[good. ]
Ji Ruan turned off the phone, he had already finished washing, propped his forehead to rest, and waited for Han Xiaolin to get ready to have breakfast.
After Han Xiaolin hurriedly tossed in the bathroom, he rushed out again and changed clothes, and then came to Ji Ruan with his bag: “Are you okay, do you want to ask for leave?” Ji Ruan covered his lips and coughed twice, and smiled
: “It’s just a cold. The choice of courses is more important, and it affects the whole semester.”
“Let’s put it this way…” Han Xiaolin looked at Ji Ruan’s face, and always felt a little dangerous: “Do you know how bad your complexion is now?”
Ji Ruan After listening, I turned on the front camera of the mobile phone and took a look. It was indeed a bit scary. The lips were bloodless and the eyes were dull. It seemed that I would faint in a second.
He himself was so amused by this look, he found a mask and put it on: “I’m just sick and put on my face. It’s nothing to look scary. Let’s go, I’m hungry.
” Ji Ruan went to the cafeteria together.
The two ordered steamed buns together, but Ji Ruan, who was clamoring for hunger, only ate one, and then pressed his forehead to drink soy milk without interest.
A cold can make people lose their appetite. Ji Ruan has seen it. The small steamed buns in the second canteen have always been famous, and many of the students from the school next door will ask friends from Beijing University to help them buy them.
When he was in good condition, Ji Ruan could eat four for breakfast, but today he couldn’t swallow one, and his stomach felt a little acid reflux, but drinking hot soy milk would make him feel better. Han Xiaolin had class in the first quarter of the morning, so he had to separate from Ji Ruan when he came out of the cafeteria. It was raining lightly outside, he held an umbrella and looked back at Ji Ruan: “Are you okay? ” Go to the infirmary!” “Go slowly… No, it’s better to hurry up a little bit, the course selection is also important…” Ji Ruan couldn’t laugh or cry, knowing that Han Xiaolin would be late if he continued to linger, he simply waved his hand and turned around to leave.
The recent weather has entered the junction of summer and autumn, when there is rain, it will be cold and it will be hot without rain. The sky is drizzling, and Ji Ruan still feels chilly even though he is wearing a long-sleeved shirt.
It rained last night, and the tree-lined road was covered with sycamore leaves, sticking to the ground wetly. The humid air was mixed with the smell of rotting leaves, which was not pleasant.
Ji Ruan was blown by the wind and had a bit of a headache, and his stomach was not feeling well, so he pressed on his mask and quickened his pace.
When she arrived at the main gate, Xiaoya was already waiting outside, seeing Ji Ruan waving brilliantly.
Ji Ruan approached to put away the umbrella, and smiled at Xiaoya through the credit card machine at the door: “Miss Xiaoya.” “
Hey, Xiaoruan, are you alright?” Xiaoya was wearing a delicate dress and handed the medicine bag to Ji Ruan : “The boss originally wanted to deliver the medicine to you personally, but the company is busy today, so he let me come over.”
Ji Ruan took it with a smile, coughed twice, and frowned with a sore throat: “Thank you, Miss Xiaoya, the company If you are busy, go back quickly, don’t delay your work.”
“What’s the matter, I won’t delay.” Xiaoya wanted to look at Ji Ruan’s face, but he was wearing a mask that covered most of his face, so he could only A faint look of tiredness was faintly observed through the eyebrows and eyes.
“By the way,” she urged according to Gu Xiuyi’s words: “The boss said to take these medicines three times a day after meals. If you don’t feel better all day today, call him and he will take you home.” “Go home
? “Ji Ruan was looking at the medicine in the bag, and raised his head upon hearing this.
“That’s right,” Xiaoya smiled, “Today is Thursday, and the weekend is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. The boss said that if you don’t feel well, you can ask for leave tomorrow, so that you can rest for four consecutive days.
” The sky is a bit exaggerated, but he really has to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Aunt Zhao has already held the phone and said that she misses him several times.
He only has classes in the morning tomorrow, and his original plan was to go back to the villa directly after class to catch up with Aunt Zhao’s lunch.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruan didn’t refute, she pursed her lips and smiled: “I see, Miss Xiaoya, please thank Mr. Gu on my behalf.”
“I understand, I understand,” Xiaoya glanced at her watch, “Yo, I really have to go back, Xiao Ruan, take care of your body.” “Well,”
Ji Ruan waved, “Bye bye Miss Xiaoya.”
The school library was built Not far from the main entrance, the door opened at eight o’clock, and now just after eight o’clock, the queue at the door began to move forward at a constant speed.
When Ji Ruan arrived, he had just caught up with the most crowded wave. He swiped his campus card to enter the door. He wanted to put the card back in his bag, but was bumped and dropped to the ground.
Ji Ruan bent down to pick it up, and suddenly a sharp tinnitus sounded in his right ear. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold on to the fence, and his eyes went dark for two seconds.
Fortunately, the black mist and tinnitus in front of my eyes were all just that, which may be the cause of a cold.
After regaining clarity of sight, the campus card that fell on the ground was picked up by another pair of hands. Ji Ruan raised his head and stood up straight following the movement of that person.
“Classmate, your card.” Opposite is a tall boy with handsome facial features.
“Thank you.” Ji Ruan reached out to pick it up but couldn’t pull it away, and the other party didn’t let go.
“?” Ji Ruan frowned suspiciously.
After the wave of people when the library first opened, the door gradually loosened up, and a few students passed by sporadically.
The boy who helped pick up the card stood there and looked at Ji Ruan for a few times before letting go: “You are Ji Ruan?”
Ji Ruan was taken aback, and put the card into his bag: “Do you know me?”
The boy smiled: Of course, you are very famous.”
Ji Ruan, who didn’t really want to be a man of influence, looked away: “Really…”
The boy seemed not to notice Ji Ruan’s avoidance, and stretched out his hand with a smile: “Hello, my name is Bai An Ge.”
The name is so familiar, Ji Ruan’s eyelashes trembled, and suddenly remembered the conversation with the roommates at the hot pot restaurant that day, the current school grassroots of their school seems to be called by this name.
Ji Ruan raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her. She was tall and straight, and her facial features were indeed handsome. She should be the school girl in the legend.
Bai Ange noticed Ji Ruan’s hesitation, and hooked the corners of his lips: “It seems that you have heard of me too?” The
air-conditioning in the library gave Ji Ruan a headache, his smile faded, and he said politely: ” You are also famous.”
Bai Ange raised his eyebrows comfortably when he heard this, and shook his phone: “Can a famous person make friends with a famous person? I think we will get along very well.”
Ji Ruan didn’t think much of it.
Bai Ange’s eye sockets are deep and his pupils are very dark, different from Gu Xiuyi’s expression of indifference towards everyone, Bai Ange is especially serious when looking at people, his strong and straightforward gaze always stays on the other person, subconsciously oppressing, Don’t give others a chance to breathe.
Obviously the appearance is a very kind senior image, but the eyes always give people a sense of separation. Ji Ruan really doesn’t like the feeling of being stared at by this kind of eyes, and has a kind of instinctive rejection.
“Sorry.” Ji Ruan took half a step back and straightened her hair with the ring-wearing hand, “My husband doesn’t like me being able to talk to others.”
Bai Ange seemed to be silent for a moment because of the ring, without saying a word Looking at Ji Ruan.
The eyebrows of the person in front of him were light and long, not like other boys with sharp brow peaks, but like a shallow crescent moon, but his expression was sleepy, maybe he was not feeling well, and his eyes were a little red.
Bai Ange laughed: “You look better than the rumors, and your personality is more interesting.”
Ji Ruan twitched the corners of his mouth, not discussing how the other party found out that he was more beautiful than the rumors through the mask.
From the time the two started talking, Bai Ange didn’t give any attention to the surroundings. Ji Ruan didn’t know if this was his habit of communicating with others, or if he only did this to himself.
The nerves behind the ears twitched, causing a headache, and Ji Ruan frowned slightly.
“Ange,” a female voice came from not far away: “Why are you still here?”
Ji Ruan looked at the voice, and the girl had long hair in a shawl and was wearing an improved lavender cheongsam. She had a very good temperament. It was Cheng Zizhang. .
Ji Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and bent his eyes: “Sister Zizhang.”
Cheng Zizhang is his direct senior. The two met when they were reporting, and they often met in the same building in class later. relation.
Cheng Zizhang was also a little surprised when he saw him, he put his broken hair behind his ears and laughed: “Xiao Ruan, you are here too.”
She poked Bai Ange’s elbow: “Do you know each other?
” Before answering, he said: “My school card was lost just now, and this senior helped me pick it up.”
Cheng Zizhang seemed to be asking casually and didn’t care too much, and suddenly remembered something and said to Ji Ruan: “By the way, Xiao Ruan, today is yours. Choose courses?”
Ji Ruan nodded.
“Then hurry up,” Cheng Zizhang pointed upstairs, “I just came from there, and the computer is almost full.” “
Really.” Ji Ruan lifted the strap of the shoulder bag, and Cheng Zizhang waved: “Then, senior sister, I’ll go first.”
After getting rid of Bai Ange Jiruan, he walked up the stairs to the second floor. As Cheng Zizhang said, there were many people, and there were almost no vacant computers as far as the eye could see.
Ji Ruan waited in line for a while before grabbing a relatively low-level elective course from the others.
Because of the delay with Bai Ange, Ji Ruan was almost late for class, so she ran a few steps before arriving at the classroom.
Fortunately, this is a multi-professional public class, and a crowd of people are crowded in the large lecture hall, and the teacher on the podium doesn’t pay much attention to the situation behind it.
Han Xiaolin took a seat for him in the last row, Ji Ruan bent down and sat down carefully, and let out a long sigh.
“What’s the matter with you, it took you so long to choose a class?” Han Xiaolin put his phone on the table and played openly.
“Don’t mention it,” Ji Ruan wiped off his sweat, “Did you roll the roll?”
Even though the temperature was not high, Ji Ruan still broke out in sweat, and was blown by the air conditioner behind him, making his skin crawl.
Han Xiaolin handed him a piece of paper: “It’s ordered, I have called for you.”
“Thank you.” Ji Ruan took off his mask, took the paper and wiped his sweat weakly.
“Isn’t it true that you’re alright?” Han Xiaolin leaned over and whispered, “You look worse than this morning.” “
It’s okay.”
Ji Ruan took out a thermos from her bag, bent slightly to avoid the teacher’s sight, and ate it. Gu Xiuyi brought him some common cold medicine, and he didn’t know if it would work.
“I met Bai Ange in the library just now.” Ji Ruan coughed as he spoke.
“Bai Ange?!” Han Xiaolin patted him on the back and opened his eyes wide: “He knows you? What did you say?”
Ji Ruan took another sip of hot water and lay down on the table: “He said he wanted to talk to me Make friends.”
“Damn it,” Han Xiaolin patted his chest in shock, “Isn’t that just a flirt, so he really is crooked?”
Ji Ruan pulled his lips: “Who knows.”
“Make friends” three The word is very ingenious. When boys make friends with boys, how can it be said that they must be crooked?
Ji Ruan doesn’t care about other people’s sexual orientation, it’s just the first impression that makes trouble, and she doesn’t like Bai Ange, and doesn’t want to have other contacts.
Han Xiaolin also lay down on the table with him: “Then have you added friends?”
Ji Ruan shook his head: “I said that Gu Xiuyi doesn’t like me making friends with others.”
Han Xiaolin laughed immediately: “I really have you.”
Ji Ruan also smiled, half-closed her eyes and did not speak.
The air conditioner behind him dried Ji Ruan’s sweat and made him even more headache. Ji Ruan lay on his stomach for a while, coughing intermittently.
At the back, I started to feel chilly all over my body, but my ears felt hot, and I was very dizzy and had ringing in my ears.
Ji Ruan secretly felt that something was wrong, and touched his forehead, but he was so numb that he couldn’t feel it.
He touched Han Xiaolin’s arm.
Han Xiaolin turned around: “What’s wrong?”
Ji Ruan’s voice was very weak, as if he couldn’t bring himself to speak up: “Do you think I have a fever?”
Han Xiaolin immediately stretched out his hand, his expression became more serious: “The fever is not light, please return it. Ji
Ruan closed her eyes and sighed heavily.
“I just said that you are not in good condition, and you still don’t believe it,” Han Xiaolin sounded a little anxious: “Why, let’s go to the infirmary now?”
Ji Ruan glanced at the phone, and there is still half an hour before class ends: “Now “
That’s right,” Han Xiaolin was already packing his bags: “It’s just a water class, so your body is so important, anyway, you have already signed in, so you can’t find it by sneaking out.” Ji Ruan pondered for a while, he
still With a little strength, if I sit in front of the air conditioner for another half an hour, I may not be able to walk after class.
“Okay,” he gently supported the desk: “Let’s go.”
But Ji Ruan’s legs were still weak, and finally Han Xiaolin helped him to go to the school doctor’s room to hang water.
Lying on the hospital bed, Ji Ruan exhausted all her strength, and her body was as limp as a puddle of water, unable to move.
Han Xiaolin sat with him for a while, then went to the cafeteria to buy porridge for his stomach.
In fact, Ji Ruan couldn’t eat, his stomach was burning with pain, but he knew that if he didn’t eat and waited, it would be more uncomfortable.
He slowed down, looked at the rotating ceiling above, gritted his teeth and sat up, and drank a few spoonfuls of porridge under Han Xiaolin’s supervision.
This is already his limit.
Then Ji Ruan leaned against the head of the bed and covered his stomach, trying not to let himself vomit, his Adam’s apple rolled, and a thin layer of sweat floated on his neck, he closed his eyes and said to Han Xiaolin: “You have finished class this afternoon, let’s go first. “
How can I do that?” Han Xiaolin worried: “How can I leave you here alone?”
Ji Ruan slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips: “There is a doctor.”
His eyes were foggy from the burn, and the ends of his eyes were a little red, as if he had cried. Han Xiao looked at it for a while, but couldn’t help cursing in his heart.
How the hell can someone be so fucking sick?
The fuck is that guy or his brother.
What’s more, his brother’s beauty cannot be shared.
“Okay,” Han Xiaolin stood up and lowered his voice, “Then you sleep, and I’ll bring food over tonight.”
Ji Ruan closed his eyes, and this was the biggest response he could make.
After Han Xiaolin left, the school doctor came to give Ji Ruan a sip of water. Ji Ruan herself had a full class in the afternoon, took a break, and took out her mobile phone to send a message to the teachers to ask for leave.
A friend request popped up on the top, it was Bai Ange, Ji Ruan frowned, and pressed reject.
Within two seconds, another one popped up.
Ji Ruan’s eye sockets were sore from burning, and staring at the phone made him feel sick, so he pressed his temples and ignored the application.
·
“Buzzing–“
Han Xiaolin had been in class all afternoon, and suddenly received a text message from Gu Xiuyi, his chaotic mind instantly cleared up, and he didn’t even try to guess how Gu Xiuyi had his own mobile phone number, and opened it nervously.
[Hello, student Han Xiaolin, I’m Gu Xiuyi, I can’t get in touch with Ji Ruan, is he with you? ]
No matter how close Mr. Gu is to the people, there is always a murderous look on him. Han Xiaolin trembled twice through the screen, and quickly replied: [He has a little fever. I accompanied
him to the school infirmary in the morning. Asleep, I will visit him later after class. ]
There was a pause for two minutes, Han Xiaolin stared at the screen and had no time to care about the teacher.
[I see, without delaying your class, I will pick him up and go home. ]
When Han Xiaolin saw this line of words, he immediately imagined the picture of his good friend Marysu being carried into a luxury car by a handsome man under the attention of the whole school, and he couldn’t control the corners of his mouth.
[Alright Mr. Gu, then I won’t go to the school infirmary later. ]
There was a quick reply: [Thank you. ]
·
Ji Ruan didn’t know when she fell asleep, she slept very uncomfortable, her ears seemed to be blocked by something, and her chest was so stuffy that she couldn’t breathe, but she couldn’t wake up no matter what.
Someone was patting his arm and shaking his shoulders, Ji Ruan took a breath and finally opened his eyes, as if being pulled out of a dark swamp, his consciousness was chaotic and his vision was not focused.
The school doctor stood by the bed, opening and closing his lips as if talking to him, the incandescent lamp above his head was shaking so that Ji Ruan couldn’t see her face clearly.
Ji Ruan closed his eyes, trying to hear the school doctor’s words, but suddenly a sharp pain came from behind his ears, causing strong tinnitus, like a volcano exploding from the depths of his ear canal, causing Ji Ruan to cry out in pain, and a cloud appeared in front of his eyes. Dao Baiguang.
The school doctor pressed his arm to comfort him, but Ji Ruan couldn’t hear what she said at all, and the random jumping of nerves behind his ears made him have a splitting headache.
“Why do I…”
Ji Ruan froze as he opened his mouth.
He couldn’t hear himself either.
There is a sound in my ears, but it is like the old black and white TV flickering snowflakes, sometimes strong, sometimes weakened with bursts of roar.
The school doctor patted him on the back, took out his mobile phone and typed quickly: [Now ask your family to pick you up, is that okay? ]
Ji Ruan’s eyes were very hot, he sucked hard on the tip of his nose, and blinked.
The top of the head was patted encouragingly by the school doctor.
He stretched out his hand to dial Gu Xiuyi’s number, but the caller ID popped up on the interface, it was Gu Xiuyi.
The school doctor gave him a questioning look, Ji Ruan nodded, and the school doctor answered the phone directly.
Ji Ruan could only see her lips opening and closing, but couldn’t hear anything, and raised the back of her hand to cover her eyes.
This is the first time he has felt the panic of dying since he came to this world.
It turns out that not being able to hear the sound is really scary, like being isolated in a vacuum cover, cut off from the whole world forever.
Ji Ruan could even imagine the weird intonation of the voice he would make when he opened his mouth. The words he spoke probably could not be called words, but just an unpleasant note.
I don’t know how long it took before Gu Xiuyi seemed to come. When he opened the door, the humid air outside floated onto his face, and a big warm hand covered his ear.
“The temperature of the liquid has dropped a little after infusion, but the fever has not subsided.” The school doctor came to Gu Xiuyi’s side: “I see that he wears a cochlear implant, and he is afraid that if the fever continues, it will affect his hearing. We don’t have enough conditions here. Go to the hospital for an examination.”
The man in front of the bed was wearing a plain black windbreaker, and he looked very unfriendly, but his movements of stroking the young man’s ears were very gentle, and he said thank you in a low voice.
Ji Ruan hadn’t had an injection. He had blood back when he struggled with earache just now. The school doctor took off the needle and treated the wound. He put a piece of medical tape on the back of his hand, but now some blood oozes out.
Gu Xiuyi gently held Ji Ruan’s wrist, and pulled his hand that covered his eyes, only to find that Ji Ruan was crying.
He seemed frightened, his face was stained with tears, his thin eyelids were swollen, and his eyelashes were wet.
The school doctor saw that the back of the man in front of the bed was stiff, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, but he gently stroked the red eye ends of the boy with his fingertips.
Then he hugged the person.
