Lu Xixiao: "Sleep a little longer."

Wen Li looked at the distance and moved a little further.

Lu Xixiao still felt it was too far: "Sleep a little closer."

Wen Li moved a little further.

Lu Xixiao also moved.

I can’t wait to move to Wen Li’s bed.

To be honest, this is not much different from sleeping in the same bed.

Wen Lixin said he was not afraid of falling into the crack of the bed.

Lu Xixiao stretched out his hand and held Wen Li's hand.

Wen Li flexed her fingers reflexively, and then had no other reaction. She also subconsciously turned her head to look at him, and her eyes met Lu Xixiao who was staring at her. Wen Li withdrew her gaze without changing her expression and turned to look at the ceiling.

She found that what Lu Xixiao called contact, including but not limited to physical contact, was a bit similar to desensitization therapy.

Let her adapt and accept it little by little.

Ever since they successfully held hands, Lu Xixiao wanted to hold hands whenever he had the chance, wishing he could hold hands all the time. If he could hug her someday, would he hug her every day? If he could kiss her someday, would he kiss her every day... Wen Li's face froze slightly. What was she thinking?

"Li Li? What are you thinking about?"

Lu Xixiao's sudden question made Wen Li feel a little guilty.

Wen Li said without even thinking: "No."

Lu Xixiao: "I see you seem to have thought about it."

Wen Li: "Can you still see what's going on in my head?"

Lu Xixiao smiled and said, "I can't see it, but Li Li, you're showing some of your emotions. Your micro-expressions and eyes are a little obvious."

Wen Li was speechless.

Lu Xixiao clenched his hands and held her tighter.

The voice said softly, "Go to sleep. Good night."

The night is very quiet.

Lu Xixiao held Wen Li's hand and looked at the ceiling. The stinging in his ears and the discomfort in his body made him unable to sleep at all.

Wen Li in the next bed had his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.

Lu Xixiao kept his eyes open until dawn.

He was half asleep and half awake for the whole morning.

He stayed in the ward alone the whole afternoon. During this time, the nurse came in to change his dressing and give him an IV. Wen Li and a group of experts were busy holding meetings to discuss and study treatment plans.

Halfway through the meeting, Wen Li received a phone call and left a group of experts. She went downstairs alone and walked all the way to the hospital entrance, where she saw a sloppy old man arguing with a guard.

"Hey, Miss Li, here, here, here." You Mu waved happily to Wen Li while holding a wine gourd.

Wen Li brought the person in.

You Mu asked with concern, "It's been a while since we last met. You look well. How's your recovery going?"

Wen Li: "Very good."

You Mu: "What about that little guy? How's he doing?"

Wen Li: "Very good."

You Mu: "How's things going between you and that young man? Are you having a baby? No, are you pregnant? Are they twins? How about I take your pulse, old man?"

Wen Li: "Not very good."

The old man said, "Is it not progressing well or is it the pulse? It's definitely not progressing well. My secret recipe for having twins is absolutely fine. If there's a problem, it's because he can't do it. That doesn't seem right. Chinese medicine uses observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. I can tell he's in great shape. As long as his family has the gene for having twins, he's guaranteed to be able to have a baby without using my secret recipe."

"Can you be more serious?"

"I've always been serious and solemn, okay? Okay, okay, what's the patient's condition? Tell me first."

Wen Li told the old man about Lu Xixiao's situation in detail.

Lu Xixiao was lying on the hospital bed in a daze when Wen Li brought the old man in. When the old man saw him, his eyes lit up and he walked quickly towards the bed: "Grandpa, why are you here? What's going on with the three of you? Last time it was you, Li girl, and that little guy, this time it's him. Can you be nice? Although I, an old man, want to make some money for drinking, I don't want to take it from you."

Wen Li: "Hurry up and show it to him."

The old man took Lu Xixiao's pulse, and he was still very attentive, doing a thorough inspection. Lu Xixiao paid close attention to the old man's complexion, not missing any changes in his expression.

The old man took Lu Xixiao's pulse for a long time, and then did some examinations on him. Finally, he took out the gourd and said, "I'm going to go out and have a drink."

Wen Li looked at Lu Xixiao and followed the old man out.

Lu Xixiao watched the two people leave.

Outside the ward, the old man spoke bluntly, "I can save his right ear. I can save it completely. It's exactly the same as before. As for the left ear..." The old man shook his head, "The damage to the inner ear is too severe. Fortunately, it was treated promptly. If it had been infected, not only would the right ear be lost, but he would also have had significant sequelae inside his brain. I'll give him a few injections and prescribe some medicine. If he recovers well later, there won't be any sequelae."

Even the old man said there was no way, so there was probably no hope. Wen Li was silent, feeling an uncontrollable heaviness in his heart.

Lu Xixiao sat on the bed, looking quietly at the ward door.

The door opened and the old man came in, but Wen Li was not there.

Lu Xixiao stared at the ward door closed by the old man for a long time but didn't see Wen Li come in, so he withdrew his gaze.

Then he asked the old man calmly, "Just tell me the condition of my ears. I've already considered the worst-case scenario, so I'm mentally prepared."

The old man told Lu Xixiao the truth about the situation.

After hearing this, Lu Xixiao was silent for a moment.

Then he asked the old man, "Where is Li Li?"

The old man was a bit too honest: "I guess he didn't know how to tell you, so he just made up an excuse to go busy."

Lu Xixiao was silent for a few seconds, then hesitantly asked, "How did she react after hearing about my situation?"

"Uh..." The old man recalled: "It's about the same as you."

Lu Xixiao was silent.

The old man's eyes were sharp, and he saw what was on Lu Xixiao's mind at a glance: "Are you afraid that you are not worthy of Li Yatou?"

Lu Xixiao lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The old man comforted him, "Be confident. You still have one ear, don't worry. I guarantee that your right ear will never be affected by your left ear. It will be exactly the same as before. As for your left ear, I'll give you two injections and two doses of medicine to see how it goes. What if there's a miracle?"

The old man didn't hesitate and gave Lu Xixiao acupuncture immediately.

After one acupuncture session, Lu Xixiao felt much better. The stinging sensation in his left ear was greatly reduced, his dizziness and nausea were also relieved, and his vision became much clearer.

But Lu Xixiao's mood was still gloomy.

The old man asked Lu Xixiao to stop taking western medicine and let him drink Chinese medicine.

In the evening, Wen Li entered the ward carrying a bowl of decocted Chinese medicine.

Lu Xixiao stared at Wen Li the whole time.

Neither of them spoke.

She handed over the medicine.

Lu Xixiao reached out and took it.

Just the smell makes it unpalatable.

As soon as I took a sip, I frowned because it was so bitter.

Lu Xixiao slowed down and drank it all in one breath.

My entire mouth and throat tasted bitter. I had finally stopped feeling nauseous, but now I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit again.

Wen Li took the empty bowl from him and put it on the bedside table. She sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a box of candy, opened it, picked out a lemon-flavored one and handed it to him.

Lu Xixiao looked at the candy in her hand, feeling an indescribable bitterness in his heart, but he kept smiling. He didn't reach out to take it, but leaned over and took it with his mouth.

Wen Li, noticing his action, subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but his brain did not cooperate. In the one or two seconds of pause, Lu Xixiao came over and lowered his head to put the candy into his mouth.

His lips inevitably touched her fingertips.

Wen Li's fingers seemed a little stiff.

She looked at Lu Xixiao's face so close to her.

Lu Xixiao raised his eyes and looked at her.

Their eyes met.

After eating the candy, he seemed to feel that it was not sweet enough. Instead of moving away, he continued to move closer to her.

He was not fast, but rather slow. He was testing her a little bit at a time while also asking for her consent, giving her enough time to dodge.

Feeling his breath getting closer and closer, Wen Li did not hide.

Wen Li recalled the look in his eyes just now.

Very complicated.

There is struggle, restraint, tension, and anticipation.

When did this guy become so reserved?

Wen Li thought about it and acquiesced to his behavior.

Without holding back, he kissed her gently on the cheek.
