After the atmosphere between them fell into silence for a while, Jiang Laien spoke again: “There is a stool here, please sit down.”
“Thank you.” Ji Changge sat down.
Ye Kehuan turned her head slightly to look at her, and decided against saying anything, then quietly looked at Chen Lulu on the bed.
Time gradually passed, and while they weren’t paying attention, it turned past 11 o’clock at night. The nurse came in and changed the IV bag several times, but Chen Lulu still did not wake up.
Ji Changge bit her fingernails and looked at her, her eyes gloomy.
At that moment, Jiang Laien sat down and took a nap. Before she knew it, she leaned her head on Ye Kehuan’s shoulder. She woke up suddenly and continued to sit up. However, it could still be seen that she was really sleepy.
Ye Kehuan saw that and put her hand around her waist: “Are you sleepy? Do you want to go back to sleep?”
“A little bit,” Jiang Laien rubbed her eyes, “I’m okay.”
Ji Changge saw them and looked at them: “Go back. Are you not actors? You should be very busy. I’ll just be here to watch.”
Jiang Laien watched Ji Changge and looked to Ye Kehuan again, only to feel that her eyes were too hard to open. She slept a bit too late the night before, and got up too early. She might have been okay if she was moving around, but just sitting there, she really wanted to sleep.
After listening, Ye Kehuan looked at Chen Lulu one last time, then patted Jiang Laien on the back again: “Laien, let’s go back and sleep.”
“But you are very worried about Lulu…” Jiang Laien opened her eyes vigorously.
“The doctor said that she’s okay. Besides, the boss is here. Let’s go back. You will sleep more comfortably in a bed.” Ye Kehuan said softly.
Ye Kehuan sighed, stood up, and after getting Jiang Laien to the door, she looked at Ji Changge: “Then I will ask you first. We will get up at about three in the morning tomorrow. If Lulu wakes up, just let me know.”
“How can I contact you?’ Ji Changge asked.
Ye Kehuan pulled up WeChat: “Give me your WeChat QR code.”
Ji Changge lowered her head, took out her mobile phone, pulled up her WeChat QR code, and lifted it up in the air.
“Then I’ll go first.” After scanning Ji Changge as a friend, Ye Kehuan stared at her.
“Okay, let me watch here.” Ji Changge looked at the hospital bed.
Ye Kehuan nodded, and walked out of the ward with Jiang Laien.
After watching the ward door open and close again, Ji Changge sat in Ye Kehuan’s former position and fixedly looked at Chen Lulu on the bed.
After a while, Ji Changge closed her eyes and lowered her head, breathing slightly heavily: “What do you want me to do?”
After talking to herself, Ji Changge looked at her motionlessly again: “I am a mess with everything, and I don’t know what you see in me.”
After that, Ji Changge didn’t say anything, just sighed and stared at Chen Lulu on the bed motionlessly.
The night sky outside the window was like ink. As time went by, the night became deeper and quieter, and it was as if the air was condensed, and everything was like a deep sleep, and without knowing it, Ji Changge was also a bit sleepy.
After Chen Lulu’s consciousness gradually recovered, she only felt dizzy and nauseous, and felt uncomfortable everywhere in her body.
Opening her eyes vigorously, Chen Lulu squinted at the ceiling, trying to move her body, but found that her body was a little unwilling and her stomach felt uncomfortable. After biting her lip and humming, Chen Lulu turned her head and saw a woman with medium-length hair and black coat lying on her bed and sleeping.
“Ji Changge?” Chen Lulu glanced at her, scanned the ward again, and finally looked at the infusion tube next to her bed, a little surprised.
What was wrong with her? Looking at this, isn’t this the hospital? Chen Lulu’s brain was a little slow. She only remembered that she took sleeping pills because she couldn’t sleep, but still couldn’t sleep after eating them, so she ordered a lot of alcohol and drank it all, and then swallowed more sleeping pills, and then she couldn’t remember what happened next. Ugh, I just want a good night’s sleep, why did I wake up here?
After swallowing hard, Chen Lulu, who had some discomfort in her throat, looked at the woman who was sleeping beside her again. Was it really Ji Changge? Why was she there? Was this all her own imagination or was it real? Chen Lulu looked at her again, and then gradually reached out her hand, put it on Ji Changge’s hair, and carefully touched it.
At that moment, Ji Changge’s body trembled suddenly, then she frowned, grabbed Chen Lulu’s hand, and slowly raised her head.
The moment when her hand was grasped and she saw her familiar eyes, Chen Lulu was at a loss: “Changge…”
“Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” Ji Changge asked.
Chen Lulu frowned and opened her mouth, only to feel that her throat was burning like fire: “It’s very uncomfortable in my stomach and throat…”
Ji Changge nodded, her eyes piercing like ice skates, but there was some fine red blood in her eyes: “If I don’t agree with you, you decide to behave like this, not taking your health seriously--are you happy?”
She wanted to say something nice, but suddenly she was so angry that she really wanted to cut through Chen Lulu’s head to see what was going on inside.
Chen Lulu opened her eyes wide and looked at her. She took a deep breath, but couldn’t let it out, and it just caught in her throat so she just looked at her with her lips tightly pressed.
“I told you a long time ago that you should drink less alcohol, why did you still drink and take medicine? Can psychiatric drugs be eaten like candy? If you have even a bit of conscience, what would you do if you let down the people who care about you?” Ji Changge’s expression was as severe as a parent's.
“I just wanted to get a good night’s sleep, because the night passed inadvertently, and the morning did too. I was clearly sleepy, but I still couldn’t sleep…” Chen Lulu suddenly blocked her nose, and then her eyes. There were also some tears, like glass beads soaked in water. While speaking, Chen Lulu looked at Ji Changge again, “Who cares about me… Does that also include you?”
Ji Changge looked at her for a moment, and finally turned her head to one side: “Including me.”
In the middle of the night, after Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien walked out of the hospital gate, they were covered with a layer of dust by the cold wind blowing in the midwinter. The noisy and prosperous city in the daytime fell into the middle of the night, and under the cover of dim yellow street lights, it became extremely quiet and lonely.
Seeing Jiang Laien shivering next to her, Ye Kehuan stretched out her hand and pulled her clothes and hat over her head: “I really don’t know what you are thinking, wearing so little, are you not afraid of catching a cold?”
“To look good…” Jiang Laien replied with a guilty conscience.”
“I don’t want you to become sick.” Ye Kehuan’s expression became a little serious when she thought of Chen Lulu. She didn’t want the people around her to get sick or anything. “But you would be accompanying me, so it might be your win.”
“Aren’t you my girlfriend? Don’t say anything so embarrassing.” Jiang Laien turned her head to look at her quickly and glared at her.
After listening, Ye Kehuan smiled, and suddenly stretched out her hand to press on her left shoulder and bent down towards her: “Yes, my girlfriend.”
Seeing her suddenly making such a move, Jiang Laien raised her hand and scratched the hair around her eyes, and cleared her throat: “You are really an old sow wearing a bra, going through one set after another.”
“Huh?” Ye Kehuan was stunned for half a second. What is this metaphor?
“Nothing!” Jiang Laien said, jumping down the stone steps, standing on the side of the road and starting to use some software to call a taxi.
Ye Kehuan stared at her back, and couldn’t help smiling slightly and she walked towards her quickly.
After a while, Jiang Laien gazed at the wide and empty street in front of her, and sighed with relief: “I still feel that the owner of the barbecue restaurant is actually very caring about Lulu. If she was not, well, she didn’t need to come. It’s not good to say, but if I were her and didn’t like Lulu, then, even if Lulu died, I wouldn’t care.”
Ye Kehuan nodded, then raised her hand to scratch the hair around her ears: “That’s right, if it is someone I don’t care about, I won’t care at all. So, should Lulu still have hope?”
“I don’t know. If the boss likes her, and she knows that she likes her, but also rejects her, then the troublesomeness of the matter may be more serious than we thought. It is also uncertain.” Jiang Laien put her hands in her pockets.
Ye Kehuan looked sideways at Jiang Laien. After a while, she stretched out her hand and gently wrapped it around her shoulder, and continued to look at her beautiful side up-close. Even though Jiang Laien was wearing a mask, just looking at her exposed smart eyes, it was already charming enough.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Laien looked sideways at her, “Looking at me with such a lustful squint.”
“This is called lustful squinting, huh?” Ye Kehuan deliberately moved closer to her again, her eyes still fixing on Jiang Laien’s, “I’ll say, what are you thinking about in your little head?”
“It’s you, I’m not,” Jiang Laien suddenly choked. At that time, a bright white car light came over, illuminating a small area, and Jiang Laien finally walked toward the car as if she had been rescued. “I won’t tell you, get in the car.”
Ye Kehuan smiled as she watched Jiang Laien’s beautiful figure jumping around, and then stepped away lazily with her into the car.
Along the way, the car dove very smoothly. Ye Kehuan looked at the scene moving back gradually, then turned her head to look at Jiang Laien who was sitting next to her. When Jiang Laien was napping incessantly, she smiled slightly and moved her head over to make her lean against her shoulder.
Under the breaking inertia, Jiang Laien woke up inadvertently and found herself leaning on Ye Kehuan’s shoulder. She was stunned for a second or two without speaking. She just pursed her lips and smiled and leaned on her warmth. She continued to close her eyes and fell asleep.
When they arrived at Huazhi B&B, it was almost midnight. As soon as the two of them went upstairs, Ye Kehuan received a message from Ji Changge with a simple sentence: “She is awake, everything is fine. I will be with her these days, don’t worry.”
After reading it, Ye Kehuan let out a sigh of relief.
“What?” Jiang Laien brushed the door and turned to look at her.
“Lulu is awake.” Ye Kehuan raised her hand and poked her forehead.
“That’s good, thank God.” Jiang Laien’s heart finally relaxed.
“Then, it’s not too early now. Since you are so sleepy, take a shower and go to bed early.” Ye Kehuan glanced at her watch and stroked her hair.
“Okay,” Jiang Laien nodded, and then suddenly thought of something, so she hurriedly said, “Wait!”
“Huh?” Ye Kehuan, who had just turned around, stopped immediately after hearing her voice and turned around.
“I still want to post on Weibo about that matter, but found that neither of us had a picture taken together.” Jiang Laien held her phone and pulled her hair behind her ears. In fact, posting on Weibo was secondary. The point was that she really wanted to have a picture with Ye Kehuan. They were already lovers, but they had no photos. No matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t right.
“Want to take a selfie with me?” Ye Kehuan said with a smile.
“My, my only point is to post on Weibo, no need for a selfie!” Jiang Laien glared at her and hurriedly denied it.
Ye Kehuan raised her hand and surrendered: “Okay, okay, what you say is what you say. Then, shall we take on now?”
“Whatever you want, I’m not afraid to take pictures…” Jiang Laien said as she unlocked her door and walked in, turning on the central air conditioner.
Ye Kehuan folded her arms, smiled again, followed her and walked in, then closed the door and put her bag aside: “Shoot, of course.”
After changing her shoes, Jiang Laien looked at her, pursed her lips, and smiled. She ran to a place with a good light source, and waved her mobile phone: ”Come here.”
Ye Kehuan also smiled, then walked to her side and stood still, staring at the phone screen motionlessly.
Jiang Laien felt that something was wrong while holding the phone, bot horizontally and vertically, because she and Ye Kehuan were a little far apart in height, which would make her look like a **** of the earth. Forced, Jiang Laien had to turn her head to look at her: “Can you squat for a while?’
“Okay.” Ye Kehuan followed instructions, and squatted on the ground without saying anything.
Jiang Laien looked at the empty camera picture of a second and was stunned, and then looked down at Ye Kehuan, who was squatting on the ground next to her, and smashed her forehead with her mobile phone in a dumbfounded manner: “I didn’t mean that, ah, my goodness.”
Ye Kehuan froze, stood up again, raised her hand to touch her earlobe, her face stunned: “That’s it?”
“You should squat a little bit shorter, and lower the gap with me… Forget it, I’ll save myself.” Jiang Laien said, turning around to take out a pair of ten-centimeter high heels from the shoe cabinet and wearing them. Going back to Ye Kehuan again, she turned on the beauty camera on the phone again, and continued to mutter, “You are really something. You can’t take selfies, don’t know the beauty camera, and can’t put on makeup. Your collection is also messy. Every day you wear dark casual clothes and ponytails and show the world. Did you know that many fans look at your face in particular? This face does not refer to your appearance alone, but also your whole…”
Ye Kehuan was stunned by what she said, but still keenly felt that she was dissed, so she immediately said, “Then will you teach me?”
“Let’s talk more when you have time,” Jiang Laien sighed and raised her phone again, “Get closer to me.”
Ye Kehuan coughed, then moved closer to her.
“Closer,” Jiang Laien kept sighing, “You have to act like my sister, not as if we are separated by a sea of blood and deep enmity. If you posted it like this, netizens will definitely jump on it. We are some business-oriented plastic sisters who conceal knives in laughter.”
“The point is to look intimate?” Ye Kehuan raised her hand and stroked her chin, raising her eyebrows.
Jiang Laien nodded, wondering what she was thinking.
“For example,” Ye Kehuan walked behind Jiang Laien at that time, then stretched out her arm and stretched forward from Jiang Laien’s shoulders, and when she pulled back, she gently hugged her shoulders and brought her into her arms. Her voice was low, “Such a posture?”
Jiang Laien was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding her phone couldn’t help tightening. She only felt that her whole body was a little warm under her envelopment, and she could not help but bite her lower lip: “Hmm…”
“I’m suddenly curious, do you just want netizens to think we are close, or do you like this posture?” Ye Kehuan asked softly, looking at her white earlobes.
Under the lingering breath of Ye Kehuan, Jiang Laien’s heartbeat began to speed up again: “What are you talking about…”
Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but laugh when looking at her little arrogant appearance.
“Anyway, let’s take a few.” Jiang Laien said, and after finishing her thoughts, she raised her phone again.
After taking a few consecutive shots, Ye Kehuan approached her ear again and asked, “Okay, do you want to take more intimate shots?”
Jiang Laien found it hard to breathe under her breath. She couldn’t help turning her head to look at her, but saw that there seemed to be some kind of inexplicably undercurrent in her eyes at that time.
After a while, Jiang Laien turned her head: “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
“Then I’ll demonstrate it.” After Ye Kehuan finished speaking in a low voice, she suddenly turned her face back. Afterwards, Ye Kehuan stared at her moist lips for a moment, and then kissed her in the next second.
