CH 33

Song Zhi Xu’s face panicked when he saw Lin Ran faint. The security guard uncle who had been standing at the door watching was also a little surprised and immediately came over. 

“That…that, but we didn’t do anything ah! He kept insisting on waiting outside for you. We told him to go inside but he wouldn’t go, so we let him out.” The security guard looked at his friend beside him.

The two security guards nodded together. 

The people who lived here were all big bosses. Those who could live in the villa area were all rich. The two security guards were responsible for watching the door, but they couldn’t afford to mess with them.

Song Zhi Xu also knew that Lin Ran definitely did not become like this because of the security guards, after all, the security guards had just called him earlier.

He picked Lin Ran up, carried him in his arms and said “thank you” to the two men before he walked to his car.

The two security guards watched the car drive away, only then they breathed a sigh of relief, one of them even whispering to the other, 

“I think he’s a bit out of sorts. His entire body was shaking when he saw us earlier.”

The two men went back to the security room while they talked about it. 

Song Zhi Xu drove all the way to the hospital. Mu Qingting originally had already left work, but was called back to hospital by a phone call from Song Zhi Xu on his way back.

His house was very close to the hospital. Until Song Zhi Xu drove there, he was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital,so when he saw Song Zhi Xu carrying Lin Ran out of the car, he was surprised. 

“This…Didn’t you say that Lin Mu had picked him up back to Haicheng? Why is he coming over again?” He had called Song Zhi Xu a few days ago too and Song Zhi Xu said that the person had already been picked up ah!

“We’ll talk about it later, let’s see how he is first.” Song Zhi Xu was worried about Lin Ran who was still unconscious in his arms and didn’t want to explain much to him right now. 

Mu Qingting agreed and called the nurse to go with him for the check up.

Song Zhi Xu had just stood in the corridor for a while when Lin Mu’s phone call came in again, Song Zhi Xu looked at the examination room before picking up the phone. 

“Zhi Xu? How’s it going? Do you find Ran Ran?”

Song Zhi Xu then said, “Hn, I’ve found him. He’s with me now, don’t worry anymore.” 

Lin Mu on the other end of the phone let out a sigh of relief.

“That’s good, I’m glad you found him.” 

Song Zhi Xu continued, “He was a bit shocked and just fell asleep. I’ll have him talk to you on the phone tomorrow.”

Lin Mu just wanted to talk to Lin Ran but he was stopped by Song Zhi Xu’s words.

He stayed in the corridor for a while longer. The door of the room opened, Lin Ran was wheeled out and taken to the ward, Mu Qingting and Song Zhi Xu walking behind him while talking.

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just a shock, so it produced a stress reaction. He must have been holding it, therefore as soon as he saw you, he relaxed his spirit and fainted. He’ll be fine after he sleeps, waiting for his emotions to stabilize.” Mu Qingting said while his brow was still tightly furrowed. 

Now, Lin Ran’s main problem was not fainting, but that he already had a quite big psychological problem. If this continued, he would be scared every time he saw a stranger and this kind of thing would happen again.

This way in the future he would shape and suggest himself psychologically. He would only become more and more afraid of people. 

Song Zhi Xu didn’t say anything and listened again as Mu Qingting continued.

“You stay here with him tonight. Wait until tomorrow when he wakes up and see what his situation is. I have to remind you that he is psychologically fragile now so he may be particularly easily frightened or… love to cry…” 

“Okay, I know.” Song Zhi Xu followed Lin Ran in the ward to accompany him. Mu Qingting went separately to do the hospitalization procedures for him.

After the procedures were completed, he stayed in the ward for a while longer, only when he was finally too sleepy, did he point to the sofa next to him and say to Song Zhi Xu who was standing guard by the bed. 

“There’s a sofa over there. If you’re sleepy, go lie down for a while. I’ll go to my office and sleep. Call me if you need anything.”

Song Zhi Xu nodded, Mu Qingting left, yawning as he went back to his office. If he had surgery or was on duty at night he would sleep in the hospital, so he had a separate lounge with a bed inside his office which was convenient for him to sleep. 

After Mu Qingting left, Song Zhi Xu continued to sit by the bed. There were no lights on in the room but he could still clearly see Lin Ran’s face through the light shining in through the glass on the ward door.

He knew very well how timid Lin Ran was, but he had gone so far as to sneak over on his own and take a flight in order to see him. 

Song Zhi Xu could not deny that when Lin Ran was in his arms, his pale little face saying in a somewhat feeble voice, “Ran Ran misses Song Zhi Xu”, in an instant, his heart burned fiercely, it was hot and painful.

After a long time, Song Zhi Xu raised his hand and gently rubbed Lin Ran’s slightly cool cheek with the center of his thumb. In the dimness of the ward, he let out a low sigh and said helplessly, “What a little fool.” 

Song Zhi Xu had been busy at the company these days and had social engagements at night, so he hadn’t rested well either. In the middle of the night, he felt somewhat sleepy and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

He was afraid that Lin Ran would wake up in the middle of the night, so he even held Lin Ran’s hand in his hand when he fell asleep, so that he could wake up when Lin Ran moved. 

It was not long after he had fallen asleep that Song Zhi Xu was jolted awake by a scream. Immediately raising his head from the bed, Lin Ran had already withdrawn his hand and curled up on the head of the bed.

Lin Ran had just woken up and opened his eyes. The room was still dim. He tried to move his arms and found that he could not move them. Lin Ran looked sideways and saw a dark figure beside the bed, so he was scared and cried out in fear, curling up his body. 

Until the familiar voice came from beside the bed, with the hoarseness of having just woken up, he called out, “Ran Ran?” Immediately afterwards, the bedside lamp was pressed on and the warm yellow light instantly illuminated the side of the bed. It was only then that he could see the person sitting beside the bed.

“Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran called out in a low voice and only when he saw the other person nod did he pounce over and hug Song Zhi Xu’s neck tightly, rubbing against the side of his neck. 

It didn’t take long for Song Zhi Xu to feel wet tears falling into his collar. He lowered his eyes and hugged the person tightly, whispering after some time had passed, “Ran Ran, don’t cry, I’m here.”

“Ran Ran can’t find Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran’s body trembled a little as he cried. 

He had searched for him from a far away place. He was finally able to see him with so much difficulty. He was really scared.

“I know. It’s all right now. Ran Ran, don’t be afraid anymore.” Song Zhi Xu’s slightly cold voice had an extra touch of tenderness even in the quiet night. 

In his arms, the little fool was crying and trembling, therefore he unconsciously reduced his talking speed a little.

“Hn, Ran Ran is not afraid.” Lin Ran nodded, but still not willing to leave Song Zhi Xu’s embrace. 

Only after a long time, when his emotions became more stable, did he stand up and pull Song Zhi Xu so that he could sit on the bed.

Since Lin Ran was still kneeling on the bed and Song Zhi Xu was sitting on the stool by the bed, it was a bit tiring to lean over and hug Song Zhi Xu like this, so Lin Ran pulled Song Zhi Xu to sit on the bed before he himself found a comfortable position to nestle into Song Zhi Xu’s arms and let Song Zhi Xu hug him. 

Lin Ran was inside Song Zhi Xu’s embrace, smelling Song Zhi Xu’s body. He felt so much at ease and after a while he muttered in a small voice again,

“Is Gege angry?” Lin Ran suddenly remembered Lin Mu. His Gege had told him that he couldn’t go outside, but he really missed Song Zhi Xu too much, so he didn’t listen to his words. 

“Your Gege is very anxious. He has been looking for you since yesterday.” Song Zhi Xu replied to him.

Lin Ran bit his lip, turned his head and started looking for his phone again. 

He wanted to call Gege. Ran Ran had to apologize to him.

However, as soon as he got the phone, Song Zhi Xu stopped him, took his hand and said, 

“It’s still the middle of the night and your Gege needs to sleep.”

Lin Ran reacted and lowered his head in loss, resting his head against Song Zhi Xu’s chest. It didn’t take long for another low sobbing sound to come from him. 

Song Zhi Xu patted his back gently, helping him to calm his breath, some helplessness showing on his face.

Mu Qingting said that he would cry and it hadn’t been long since he had already cried twice. 

“Ran Ran, let me accompany you to Haicheng tomorrow.” Song Zhi Xu said.

He also happened to be going to Haicheng to meet someone and conveniently make a trip to go there with Lin Ran. 

Lin Ran froze and looked up at him in some shock.

“Song Zhi Xu, are you sending Ran Ran away?” 

“No, I’ll go talk to your Gege, is it okay for you to stay here? Moreover, you didn’t even bring your luggage.” Song Zhi Xu shook his head.

Since Lin Ran wanted to be here, Song Zhi Xu didn’t mind keeping him by his side. Instead, Lin Ran’s departure made him feel that the villa was too empty and spacious. He hadn’t returned to stay there these days either. 

“Good.” Lin Ran’s long eyelashes still had tears on them that hadn’t dried, yet he smiled and nodded, “Ran Ran wants to say sorry to Gege for not listening.”

“Okay, but for now, you need to sleep or you won’t be able to get up early tomorrow.” 

“Hm,” Lin Ran agreed, pulling Song Zhi Xu’s clothes again and said, “Then, Song Zhi Xu hugging Ran Ran while sleeping okay?”

Song Zhi Xu didn’t refuse and hugged Lin Ran as the two of them lay on the small hospital bed and slept until dawn. 

In the morning, Lin Ran called Lin Mu who had planned to come over to see Lin Ran, but since Song Zhi Xu wanted to take Lin Ran back, he refunded his ticket and when the time came, he would pick them up.

Before leaving the hospital, Mu Qingting still couldn’t help but to urge him again and again. 

“Little Ran Ran is like this, can’t be delayed any longer. It’s better to receive psychological treatment or therapy as soon as possible. He can’t continue being like this any longer. He’s already started to faint, it will cause inertia later on. You guys can’t keep him at home like this and not meet anyone.”

“Okay, I’ll take him back and will come back as soon as possible after that.” Song Zhi Xu agreed, rarely not disliking Mu Qingting’s nagging. 

Only when Mu Qingting saw him agree did he let them leave.

Song Zhi Xu took Lin Ran back to the villa and had lunch there before driving to the airport. 

On the way, Lin Ran was still a bit scared. His face was abnormally pale. He confirmed with Song Zhi Xu several times that he would bring him back and only then he was able to feel at ease.

Before boarding the plane, Song Zhi Xu took his mobile phone and made another call. 

It didn’t take long for a somewhat lazy male voice to come from the other side, “What’s wrong again?”

Song Zhi Xu directly said, “Tonight, make some free time because I’ll come and see you.” 

The person on the other side took a moment before replying, “Okay.”
