A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 43
When he was thinking wildly, he moved on the seat and turned his body to my side, as if waking up from a nightmare, he opened his eyes suddenly, and even the extremely long and slightly curly eyelashes trembled childishly trembling.

At the beginning, my eyes were still a little distracted and panicked, but I saw me immediately, and subconsciously reached out, grabbed my wrist, closed my eyes again, and said in a daze, "It's good that I'm still here."

If the crying of the rest of my life after the catastrophe was just because of uncontrollable emotions, then at this moment, suddenly, I was hit hard by a feeling that was almost suffocating.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep again, but I turned my head hastily, tears fell, and hurriedly wiped them with my hands.

It's just that I rubbed more and more, and the backs of my hands were all slippery with water. Suddenly, a gentle force pushed my face away, and his expression was also a little flustered, "What's wrong with you?"

I don't know why I'm so sad all of a sudden, maybe it's because I thought I had let go before I stepped on the landmine; but he appeared in front of me in such a majestic way, and stayed with me through life and death, which made me think wildly.

——What a scene of deja vu.

The bus had an accident on the highway, and I sat alone in the rain wrapped in a blanket, and he came here without hesitation.

But when I thought I got a lot, the final outcome just proved that I was a wishful fool.

"Why did you come to me?" I slapped his hand away vigorously, "Now I have nothing, what are you planning?"

He probably wanted to wipe my tears at first, so he stopped his hand in mid-air and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"Are you trying to make me fall in love with you again and again, and leave me again and again?" I sobbed softly, "Shen Qinjun, you don't have to do this. Since you hate me, let me stay there to fend for myself—" "

Before he could finish the last word, he suddenly unbuckled his seat belt and kissed her fiercely.

I was held in place, the stubble on his chin made my jaw hurt, and the two thin lips were sticking to mine, dry and hot.

The plane happened to be bumped by the airflow, he slammed into it, and we knocked together dully. I only felt the sweet taste of blood in my mouth, mixed with the remaining breath in my lungs, cruel and embarrassing.

The stewardess hurried over, turned her eyes away a little embarrassed and said, "Both... the plane encounters turbulence, please buckle up your seat belt first?"

He finally let go of me, the corner of his mouth was knocked by my teeth, dripping with blood.

"Actually, when I stepped on a landmine and you insisted on coming over, I knew I had figured it out. I really don't want you to die with me, I hope you can live well. If you lie to me, it will make you It's good to let go of the knots of uncles and aunts." I looked at him seriously and said softly, "Shen Qinjun, I don't hate you anymore, let's all let go."

"Let go?" He frowned slightly, and repeated, "Bai Xi, how do you want me to let go? It's only been a year since you knew me, but I've known you for 20 years.

"In the previous 19 years, I could only look at you silently, wanting to help you and get close to you, but afraid that you would get sick. It wasn't until a year ago that I had the opportunity to get close to you in another name.

"Later I found out that Mom and Dad died because of Uncle Su..." The smile on his lips was thin and bitter, "Bai Xi, I'm really not as good as you. It was because of me that your family got into a car accident. But you are still willing to help me; but I really can't change for a while.

"That's why I let those people hurt you and let you leave alone... I just don't know how to deal with it."

His clear and narrow eyes just looked at me like this, as if he still had more to say, but he stopped abruptly, the turbulent waves were blocked behind the stone wall, and finally fell silent.

"But I don't know if I dare to believe you." I tried my best to pull a smile from the corner of my mouth.

In the end it was futile.

After experiencing life and death, I don't know if I still have the courage to cross the gap of trust that separates us.

He looked at me quietly, silently and sadly.

By the time I realized that something was wrong with Shen Qinjun, the itinerary was already halfway through, and I woke up from a drowsy sleep, his arm close to me seemed to be shaking.I glanced at him, his face was flushed, as if he was drunk and fainted a little abnormally.

"Are you okay?" I reached out and touched his forehead, and found it was terribly hot.

But Shen Qinjun tilted his head, as if he didn't like me touching him, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

"Are you having a fever?" My heart skipped a beat, "Is it cold?"

He closed his eyes sleepily, and still spit out two words: "It's okay."

He said he was fine, but his physical signs could not deceive anyone. He was clearly shaking, but when I leaned over, he turned his head away as if trying to be brave.

I woke up Lao Wang, he was experienced, and immediately said: "Is your boyfriend suffering from malaria?"

After the mine came out, all of them regarded Shen Qinjun as my boyfriend. At this time, I didn't bother to explain anymore, so I could only ask: "Then what should we do now?"

"Ask the stewardess to take a look. I don't know if there are any regular medicines on the plane." Lao Wang pondered for a while, "Go back to China, Xiao Shen may have to be quarantined in a situation like this."

Everyone was helpless on the plane. I could only look at my watch and wait every minute, hoping to get through the last time.Shen Qinjun's body temperature soared so fast that his lips were all dry and cracked, and layers of sweat came out.He closed his eyes, half-lying on the chair uneasily, I gave him a cold compress, and accidentally rubbed a hand against the back of his hand, but he grabbed it like a conditioned reflex, and refused to let go again, his brows loosened, Finally fell asleep peacefully.I struggled quietly, but in the end I couldn't bear it, so I let him go.

More than an hour of torment finally passed.

The plane landed, the cabin door opened, and a medical team rushed up, quickly lifted Shen Qinjun onto the stretcher, and asked, "I need to sign here, where are the family members?"

Everyone looks at me.

"I'm just a friend." I said hesitantly, "but I can help you contact family members."

"Then you come with us." The nurse said bluntly, "The rest of the people have to take their temperature and fill out the contact form before they can get off the plane."

With a thermometer in his mouth, Lao Wang waved at me, "Go! Stay with Xiao Shen and call me anytime."

The car was driving in this familiar and long-lost city with a blue horn, and Shen Qinjun was lying there, so thin, with handsome and profound facial features, within reach, but the vivid or forbearance in the past was gone. The look, I don't even know if he's still alive right now.

Carefully reached out to touch his breath, unexpectedly he woke up suddenly, stretched out his hand to hold my wrist, but closed his eyes, and said softly: "I'm still alive."

"It's good to live."

He opened his eyes weakly, "Don't tell grandpa yet."

"Ah."

"Will you... stay with me?" He hesitated for a moment.

"I have to quarantine with you."

"That's good." He smiled childishly, opened and closed his long eyelashes, and finally closed them with confidence.

When he arrived at the hospital, Shen Qinjun was immediately sent to the isolation ward.After a series of inspections, it was already early morning, and it was confirmed to be malaria.After my own examination was completed, I went to see him in the ward.

The doctor briefly told me about the illness again, and terms like falciparum malaria, acute renal failure, and acute myocarditis still made me tremble with fear.In the ward, he happened to be in the period of chills, his body was still shaking, and his face was ashen. I could almost hear the sound of his teeth knocking up and down, so I had to ask the nurse for another set of quilts and cover him again.But Shen Qinjun turned over and unconsciously kicked a corner of the quilt away. I quickly reached out to touch his forehead, it was terribly hot, and he was still shouting "hot" in a daze, so he cooled down physically.

Hot and cold, I tossed and turned several times throughout the night, and finally settled down a bit in the wee hours of the morning.I also retreated to the small sofa, wrapped myself in a blanket and fell asleep.

After all, the old man knew the news and rushed over.

I didn't sleep well this time, and a nurse came to round the room early in the morning.I was still sleeping at that time, and my shoulders were warm, as if someone was covering me with a quilt, and I woke up immediately.

As soon as I looked up and met the old man's gray hair and concerned eyes, I quickly sat up, "Grandpa..."

"Little girl, have you gone out to suffer?" The old man patted my head.

My eye sockets were a little sore, I shook my head vigorously, "Shen Qinjun is suffering."

Shen Qinjun half leaned on the bed, his voice was hoarse, "Grandpa."

For some reason, when facing him, the old man's expression was not so polite, and he even said a little bluntly: "I'll ask the doctor to come for a consultation in a while. The board of directors only gives you a week."

His face was hidden in the faint light of the morning, and he became cold and strong, and he only said: "I see, they will send the documents."

The nurse and the doctor came in to examine him, and the old man and I waited beside him. After chatting for a while, the old man suddenly sighed and said, "Xiaoxi, did I tell you about Ah Jun's childhood?"

"When he was young, he had a stubborn temper. Every time he quarreled with me, he wanted to come and apologize, but he couldn't hold back his face, so he got up early every morning and went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for me." The old man paused, "Not doing well. Eat, it's far worse than aunt's cooking, I knew this kid was apologizing to me."

I couldn't help smiling, this is Shen Qinjun's style.

"Although he speaks harshly, I know whom he treats well in his heart."

I know grandpa meant something, but does he know everything before?I didn't dare to speak, and I didn't want to speak, I just listened silently until the examination was completed, the old man had to go to the company first, and I was left alone in the ward.

He was infusion, closed his eyes and didn't open them, just said: "Actually, it's not all my fault when I got angry with grandpa. If he was wrong, he would quietly put a bag of Oreo cookies on my desk."

"Oreo?"

"Well, I like to eat." He said irrelevantly.

"Then get well quickly, and I'll buy a box for you to eat." I said generously.

He finally opened his eyes, bright and narrow, "Actually, Grandpa just wanted to beat me up."

"what?"

"I ran to find you without telling anyone." He pursed his lips and said with a smile, "If you weren't here, I guess he would have picked up his chair and hit me."

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.

"But after I left, he went to work for me in person." He smiled slyly, "The old man didn't do anything, just sat in the office for a few days, and he digested everything below...or , quietly piled up and waited for my return."

"Then get well soon."

"When I get better soon, you will leave, right?" He quietly lowered his gaze, smiled wryly, and said with some difficulty, "I...do nothing right now."

I was silent for a while, and patted him on the shoulder pretending to be relaxed, "You think too much."

After breakfast at the hospital, I went home and changed, and went to NG on the way.

Lao Guang came back a day earlier than us. Because he was frightened, he hadn’t come to work yet. My colleagues surrounded me and asked about Shen Qinjun’s condition. Lao Wang patted me on the shoulder exaggeratedly and said, “Good man! .”

I don't know how to explain it, I can only pass it vaguely.Because I remembered that Shen Qinjun said that he wanted to eat Old Shengji's preserved egg and lean meat porridge, I went to his house to queue early, and when I finished shopping, I rushed to the door of the ward, and I happened to meet the person I least wanted to see——Qin Mou.

She held a paper bag in her hand, carrying the same hot porridge as me.

I paused, and it was the first time I saw her expression of bewilderment, mixed with embarrassment.

"Then go in." I said lightly, and sat down on the chair in the corridor.

She gently opened the door and closed it again. I sat there with the lunch box in my arms, motionless.

Until the door was opened again, Qin Mou came out, "He invited you in."
