Since that day, Su Lin has really come to make rounds.
Although it's not every day, it's a great progress. Every time he comes, Xu Qichen tries to talk to him as much as possible. After all, the other party is a big piece of ice. It's impossible to cover the heat all at once.
There's no way. If you chase someone, you have to be shameless and go out. Anyway, he just does the task and has the right to act.
"Dr. Su, when will my leg be ready?"
"Dr. Su, do you want sugar?"
"Dr. Su, I've seen a good movie recently. The man looks a little like you. He's also handsome!"
"Dr. Su, you..."
Su Lin, who had been listening quietly and didn't express any opinions, finally couldn't help saying one day, "you shouldn't hurt your leg, you should hurt your tongue."
It's vicious.
In the twinkling of an eye, a few weeks passed.
It was another day when Su Lin didn't make a ward round. Xu Qichen waited alone in the ward for a long time. When the sun was setting, he really felt that he couldn't wait because his sister told him that he could remove the plaster tomorrow. Lu Xuan has been living on campus. There is no elevator in the dormitory. It's not convenient for her to go upstairs and downstairs with plaster. So she stayed in the hospital for a few more weeks until the plaster was removed.
With Su Lin's character, ten people will not come to see him off on the day of discharge. He can't wait to die.
Xu Qichen walked out of the ward slowly on crutches. He didn't know where Su Lin would be now. Xu decided to go to the convenience store to buy a bottle of soda and try his luck.
As soon as he got to the convenience store, he saw Su Lin standing with another woman doctor in a white coat. This scene is very strange, because in so many days when he came to the world, he had never seen Su Lin contact with other colleagues closely, and he was always alone.
Xu Qichen's first reaction was to find a tree to hide, although he regretted it in the next second, because it was not in line with Lu Xuan's human design. But I'm hiding. Let's see what they're doing.
"Dr. Su, we are all adults. I won't beat around the bush about some things."
He's not just an adult. He's lived thousands of years. Xu Qichen was holding the tree trunk and crutches in his arms.
"I've always had a crush on you, and I know you're single at the moment." The woman doctor's eyes looked straight at Su Lin, "can we have a try?"
"Have a try?"
Su Lin's response surprised Xu Qichen. According to common sense, kaolin flower should not directly refuse to tell her, "I'm sorry, I don't like you." Is that the case?
What's the situation now? Are you really ready to try?
The plot is not right.
From this rhetorical question, the female doctor seized a trace of encouragement and immediately took a step closer, "well, I think we..."
At this time, Su Lin stepped back and kept a safe distance.
The female doctor felt that she was in a hurry and slightly embarrassed. "Ah, I mean, we can start with friends, if you think it's too fast."
Just now Su Lin took a step back. The movement of his position made Xu Qichen unable to see his expression. He had to grab the trunk and move out. He didn't expect that his arm was not clamped, and his crutch crashed to the ground.
Oh, it's embarrassing.
Two doctors not far away all looked over. Xu Qichen subconsciously turned his back and stuck to the tree, pretending that nothing had happened.
I vaguely heard what Su Lin said, but the voice was so small that I couldn't hear it clearly.
Have you left? Let's go.
Xu Qichen carefully attached to the tree and saw that the woman doctor had just left. When she left, she specially looked back at him. There was an indescribable unfriendliness in her eyes.
I didn't mean to interrupt your confession. I'm sorry.
Although I did it more than once.
Su Lin should have gone too.
Xu Qichen stretched out his leg in plaster cast and tried to squat down to see if he could pick up the crutch, but the difficulty was really a little high. He was very tired just after squatting down a little.
Forget it. Let's see if Su Lin has left. Xu Qichen stood up, his head stretched out and looked out. There was no sign of him outside the convenience store.
Let's go.
Looking back, Su Lin's face appeared in front of him. Xu Qichen trembled with fright.
"Sue, Dr. Sue." Xu Qichen was embarrassed to smile, "what a coincidence." He pointed to the crutch on the ground. "Can you help me pick it up?"
Of course, Su Lin didn't do what he said.
Xu Qichen heart a horizontal, hands together ten, voice all soft a few minutes, "please."
Kao Ling Hua, who had been asked, was finally moved. He bent down and picked up his crutch, turned around and walked in the direction of the convenience store.
Xu Qichen jumped behind him, and the two entered the convenience store one by one. Originally wanted to buy soda, but saw a childhood favorite popsicle, Xu Qichen temporarily changed his mind, took a strawberry flavor, when checking out saw Su Lin bought a packet of cigarettes, finished the bill and left.Xu Qichen is a little worried, but the shop assistant is not in a hurry, "is it a member, please?"
"No Xu Qichen quickly replied, and then quickly settled the account. When he opened the door and walked out, he found that Su Lin did not leave, but just sat on the bench outside the convenience store. Xu Qichen was relieved and half jumped to his side and sat down next to him.
"Do you have to rely on me for such a long chair?"
Xu Qichen said with a smile, "I don't think it's crowded. Are you crowded?"
Su Lin said. Xu Qichen slightly moved a few centimeters outside, "OK." Su Lin has no way. He lowers his head to unpack the cigarette, takes out one and lights it. Before he puts it to his mouth, the people around him break the pink popsicle and deliver the small half to him.
"I don't eat." Then Su Lin put the cigarette in his mouth.
"I didn't say I'd give it to you," Xu Qichen said, grabbing his hand and holding the bottom of the popsicle. "I can't finish two at a time. I'm afraid it will melt. Your hands are cold. Take them for me. "
Su Lin
Xu Qichen took a bite of the ice. The strawberry flavored pink ice melted away. His eyes were staring at Su Lin, who was frowning and smoking. Finally, he couldn't help laughing, "I'm lying to you. You can eat it."
Su Lin handed the ice to him, "no need."
"It's delicious." Xu Qichen took the cigarette from Su Lin's mouth, then held his wrist and put the strawberry popsicle in his hand into his mouth, "you try it."
Caught off guard, Su Lin's head shrank back and his brow wrinkled more tightly.
Xu Qichen stares at his side face, trying to capture some useful details from his face with less developed facial nerves.
His face doesn't seem to be very good today. Even his lips are pale. I don't know if it's an illusion.
Looking at it, a little absorbed.
Su Lin also found out and looked at him.
Xu Qichen immediately recovered, a little flustered.
I don't know what's going on. Obviously, this person is not like him at all. He doesn't like to laugh or talk, but their side faces will coincide at a certain moment, and they are not controlled by themselves at all.
Flustered, Xu Qichen a did not pay attention to hand cigarettes to the mouth.
But he didn't know how to smoke at all. When he found that he had made a mistake, he was surprised and flustered and took a breath carelessly. The strange and exciting smoke broke his throat aggressively and soon got into his heart, which made him take out the cigarette quickly and cough.
Su Lin subconsciously wants to pat him on the back, but the palm stops ten centimeters away from his spine.
Consciousness can't keep up with the conditioned reflex of the body.
Xu Qichen didn't notice his action at all. He covered his mouth and coughed for a long time. He turned red and returned the cigarette to Su Lin, "why do you like smoking Is it exciting? "
Originally, he was choked to complain, but he didn't expect Su Lin to give an answer. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly opened his mouth.
"Just fill in the blanks."
Xu Qichen was stunned.
He suddenly remembered his last classmate party.
At that time, he had graduated from university and didn't want to go to any classmate party. What's more, he was only a classmate for one year at the Party of class 13 of senior one before the division. He didn't know what to get together.
But coincidentally, the monitor of class 13 was in the same university with him, and he had his contact information. He lobbied him several times, saying that he didn't give him the right words, and wanted to have a complete classmate party anyway. Although Xu Qichen looks cold, he is not willing to refuse others again and again.
Knowing that the man would come, Xu Qichen made sufficient psychological preparation before reaching his destination, but when he saw him, all the psychological defense lines broke up automatically in an instant, and he was hopeless.
In a private room, there were four tables. Xu Qichen didn't go to the table where he was, but quietly followed and strongly invited his monitor to take a seat. That person is still the same as before, always the focus of the crowd, is the sun that all planets consciously and spontaneously revolve around him. Xu Qichen tried to keep his head down and try not to look at him. Across the dining table, his heart rose and fell with his voice.
After a hard meal, I was about to go back to school when I was held by the monitor and went to KTV with them. In fact, Xu Qichen knew very well that if he insisted on it, he could not refuse it. It was just that he was bewitched at that time.
When I don't see it, I will deceive myself and say that it's nothing and I don't think about him that much.
But as long as we met, we couldn't move and didn't want to leave.
KTV light confusion and dark, Xu Qichen sitting on the edge of the sofa, quietly drinking beer, next to a girl constantly talking to him, in fact, Xu Qichen almost forget her name, but still have a no match to continue to talk, in order to distract their attention.
The end of the sofa was very busy, and everyone was making noise, because that person was famous for singing.
I can't help but look at him, but he can't stop saying, "I've been smoking a lot recently, and I can't get my voice.""It's OK. Just sing it."
"I haven't heard of anyone who smokes. It's all polite! No, you can't go home without singing today. "
"Yes! Sing one, sing one. "
He finally let go. The Deputy monitor was very enthusiastic, "what are you singing? I'll give you some. "
Looking at the song list ordered by others, "don't order it again, just the third one."
Xu Qichen lowered his head and looked at the top of his canvas shoes. The white part was a little dirty. He lowered his head and wiped it, but it was not clean.
"Xu Qichen, I'm talking, you don't talk about yourself." Around the enthusiastic girl hit him, "what are you busy with recently?"
The prelude is almost over. Xu Qichen said, "I'm busy. I don't know what I'm doing. "
The girl didn't know how to answer the phone, but she didn't continue to sing.
"Maybe we won't embrace each other again
maybe your weight will hold me in my arms and dream
in the past, I didn't dare to hurt my illness because I didn't want to break an appointment
when will I think of my stupidity"
why sing such a song.
My chest is so tight that I think of a metaphor used by people.
People always compare the heart beating moment to a deer bumping, but now he feels that if there is a deer in his heart, it is also a deer suffering from illness, and there is no way to relieve the pain, he can only hit his heart valve out of order.
It hurt Xu Qichen.
He didn't lie. His voice was no longer the clear juvenile voice in high school. It became a lot of low, familiar and strange.
It's a great lyric.
In the first year of senior high school, the class organized a group to study in pairs. Xu Qichen and he were assigned to a group. Every night, they would study in school for an hour, but they didn't do anything. They just helped each other to make questions.
They are good at liberal arts and science, which just meets the requirements.
One night, Xu Qichen found that there was something wrong with him, his face was ugly, and his voice was strange, but he didn't say anything. The next day, when I saw the empty back seat and heard the comments of my classmates, I realized that he had a fever yesterday. At night, he went home and was unconscious. He was sent to the emergency room overnight.
But Xu Qichen just felt that this man really insisted on how many questions he could do in an hour and why he worked so hard.
"I've never loved you
I just like to fight with one heart and soul
I also miss those cigarettes that I can't breathe through
"
”
I can't listen any more. Xu Qichen stood up, pushed the door to the music, left the busy KTV room, went straight to the bathroom, turned on the tap, bowed his head to wash his face, and couldn't lift his head for a long time.
A person in the bathroom for a long time, until the mood a little calm, just ready to leave.
Coincidentally, as soon as he came out, he and a girl in the same class stood outside the private room. Xu Qichen still remembers that the girl chased him for a while before, and then gave up.
It was too embarrassing for Xu Qichen to walk in this way.
"Well, still having a long-distance relationship with your partner?"
“…… Well
"That song just sang so hard, I thought you two broke up." The girl's high-heeled heel knocked on the ground, "you are really enough, so handsome actually can't cheat, so like her?"
He lowered his head, leaned against the wall and murmured, "I like it..."
The deer, who had just finished the tranquilizer, began to go crazy again and again.
With his back against the wall, Xu Qichen's fingers were cold.
Take a deep breath and walk calmly out of the bathroom.
When the girl saw him, she gave a sweet smile and said, "Hi, Qichen ~"
Xu Qichen showed a polite but emotionless smile and approached the private room.
Behind the back came the whispers of girls.
"He hasn't changed. He doesn't like to talk as much as he did in grade one."
At the end of the show, everyone in the class took a taxi and left, leaving only Xu Qichen and him.
The two families live very close to the KTV, and there is no need to take a taxi. This situation becomes more embarrassing. It's not right to walk together, and it's not right to walk together.
Finally, the people around us broke the deadlock, "we haven't left together for a long time."
Xu Qichen said softly, without the following.
"Why not have a girlfriend or something." His tone is very relaxed.
Xu Qichen bowed his head and walked, "did not meet like."
"Ah, yes, it's not easy to fall in love now." He took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. "You don't mind, I'm addicted to cigarettes." Seeing that Xu Qichen shook his head, he took out one and ignited it. He continued the topic that he had just interrupted, "what you like is not necessarily like you. Like you, you do not necessarily like. There are so many people in the world, the probability of love is too low. ""Well..."
They walked a street in silence and stood at a traffic light.
"Don't you ask me how I'm doing?"
Xu Qichen turned his face and saw him ask questions with a smile.
I haven't spoken for a long time.
The countdown time of traffic lights is decreasing, and he also loses the confidence of waiting.
"Forget it, I'm kidding..." /"How are you doing?"
The two voices sounded at the same time and fell into silence at the same time.
"The light is green." He stepped out his leg and said, "I don't know if it's going well." Smoke lingered on his face, making Xu Qichen unable to see his expression clearly.
"Don't people have to have something to look forward to when they live? I always feel that I have less and less to look forward to. Every day I feel very flustered. My heart is empty. I feel that there is nothing in it. "
Xu Qichen was not very used to his explanation. When he reached the end of the zebra crossing, he did not think of how to answer the call.
Once the traffic lights pass, there is a corner, one to the left and one to the right.
Xu Qichen looked at his face and finally asked, "why do you smoke?"
He was stunned. He took the cigarette away from his mouth and dropped his hand.
"Didn't I say it all? I've lost my mind."
When I pulled away from my memory, the ice rod in my hand had melted a lot. The light pink liquid spilled from the half broken transparent plastic container and dropped on Xu Qichen's mouth, sticky.
He took a look at Su Lin.
"You look like a man."
Su Lin's eyelashes moved slightly, spitting out a mouthful of white smoke.
"Especially when smoking."
Su Lin didn't speak. The popsicle in his hand was suddenly taken away by Xu Qichen. "As expected, it won't melt so quickly when it's put in your hand." Then he took a big bite of the ice.
cool ice, sweet strawberry flavors, and tobacco smell in the mouth, stirred together by the warm spring sun, become a strange and harmonious collocation.
Xu Qichen looked down at the two pieces of strawberry ice in his hand and the cigarette between Su Lin's fingers.
Suddenly he said, "do you like the taste?"
Su Lin didn't know, so, "what?"
"Strawberry ice and cigarette." Xu Qichen inhaled the melted sugar water in one breath, "we should taste the same now."
After that, I found that this sentence seems a little ambiguous.
Su Lin didn't answer, just put out the cigarette, stood up and threw it into the garbage can.
Xu Qichen didn't follow him this time. He just said to his back, "Dr. Su, I'll be discharged the day after tomorrow. Please give me a ride."
Without a response, Xu Qichen didn't care. He lowered his head and ate the ice in his hand.
The next day was the day when Xu Qichen removed the plaster. In the early morning, he went to the radiology department to take pictures, and his sister nurse led him to the orthopedics department.
"Where's Dr. Su?"
The nurse's sister said with a smile, "you know Dr. Su, he's on sick leave today."
Sick leave? How can a vampire get sick. Xu Qichen asked again, "what's wrong with him? Is he ill?"
"I don't know, but he hasn't been in good spirits these two days. Maybe he's too tired." Then she went to prepare the equipment. "Doctor Wang will remove it for you later. You sit here and wait."
Xu Qichen nodded. After a while, Doctor Wang and the nurse came in together. They were still talking about something.
"When did Xiao Fang leave the laboratory?"
"I don't know. There was an operation two days ago. I didn't see her when I went to the blood bank."
"Are you going to get married?"
"She doesn't even have a boyfriend, Dr. Wang."
Xiao Fang, laboratory, blood bank These keywords suddenly attracted Xu Qichen's attention.
He searched his brain for all the relevant plots, and then he remembered that in the original text, Su Lin chose to work in the third hospital because there was a female vampire fangya like him here. She works in the laboratory, responsible for regular inspection and processing of blood bank specimens. This is Su Lin's food source.
Now that she leaves, Su Lin's food supply chain is broken.
"You can't bear the load immediately after you dismantle it. You know, you'll have to use crutches for a while." Dr. Wang painstakingly explained, "come to the rehabilitation department of the hospital to do some rehabilitation exercise when you have time. These drugs should also be taken every day according to the doctor's advice."
"I see. Thank you, Dr. Wang." Xu Qichen was absent-minded.
It's no wonder that Su Lin smoked heavily that day, and he didn't look energetic.
Xu Qichen returned to the ward and sent many wechat messages to Su Lin, but none of them came back.
With the memory of the original text, Xu Qichen took a taxi as soon as he was discharged from hospital. After a long time, he reluctantly found Su Lin's residence. It's a rather new community with good facilities and environment, but there are not many residents. Thanks to his detailed description of the geographical location of the community and Su Lin's specific floor in his novel, otherwise he really doesn't know where to find him for a while.When he arrived, it was already dark. Xu Qichen took the elevator to the top floor, but he didn't know which room Su Lin lived in. He had to press the doorbell one by one. Fortunately, there are not many people living on the top floor, and they only hit the Wall twice. At the last house, Xu Qichen rang the doorbell several times, but no one opened the door.
Nothing's going to happen. As a writer, Xu Qichen has been unable to restrain his brain hole.
He rang the doorbell several times in succession. When he felt that the doorbell was almost broken, the door finally opened.
Su Lin was wearing a pair of gold glasses. The cuff of his shirt was rolled up to his elbow, revealing his white arm.
His face was very bad, so pale that he didn't even have blood on his lips. When he saw Xu Qichen, he didn't have any mood swings. He only said coldly, "what are you doing?"
Xu Qichen had a crutch in his arm. "I'm here to see Dr. su." Then he jumped into the room, no matter whether Su Lin would let him in or not.
"How do you know where I live?" Su Lin slammed the door.
Hearing this, Xu Qichen felt guilty, "I I can even get your wechat. What's the home address... "
The house is very big, but there is almost no furniture. The huge living room has only a group of sofas. Xu Qichen goes to the armchair of the sofa. As soon as he puts down his crutch, Su Lin grabs his back collar. "Who allows you to be so independent?"
Without the support of crutches, Xu Qichen could only turn around and face Su Lin with a smile, "I'm myself ~"
Su Lin's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. Xu Qichen found that his forehead began to sweat, "Dr. Su, you..."
Before the words were heard, Su Lin's body fell on Xu Qichen's body. Xu Qichen subconsciously caught him with both hands, but he was standing on one foot, how could he catch a man who was more than one meter eight.
So they both fell on the sofa.
Xu Qichen was a little obsessive-compulsive, so he finished what he had just said It looks bad. "
Su Lin's consciousness has not dissipated. For a high-level vampire, he does not need a lot of blood to maintain his own function. But he hasn't eaten for a long time, and his accumulated energy is almost exhausted.
But even so, he didn't want to suck the blood of the man in front of him. He still held up his arms and wanted to get up from Xu Qichen.
But at this moment, the face of the man who always chased him with a smile suddenly changed.
Close distance, his eyes become serious and gentle, his lower lip slowly into the teeth, hard bite.
The red blood flowed out from his full lips, shining in the cold light.
From strawberries to roses.
"I ate a lot of sugar today. It's very sweet. I won't cheat you." He showed a smile, reached out his hand and gently touched Su Lin's slightly rolling Adam's apple, then climbed up to his neck.
The warm breath sprayed on Su Lin's cold skin, like an invisible but addictive smoke ring.
"Have a taste, will you?"
