Seeing that his girlfriend was completely unable to stop Gong Huasui, Song Xulin didn't even bother to chew the apple. He quickly stepped forward and pushed Gong Huasui's shoulder hard.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Don't you know he's a patient? Do you want to kill him?"

Seeing Gong Huasui staggering and almost falling to the ground after being pushed, Chi Qinghe subconsciously grabbed Song Xulin's arm and said urgently, "Don't scare him, he's afraid..."

Suddenly, the atmosphere of confrontation fell into an eerie calm. The three people in the ward stopped what they were doing tacitly and looked at him.

Doubt, surprise, and... grievance?

Chi Qinghe realized the situation belatedly and silently withdrew his hand.

He tried his best to ignore the strangeness in his heart, and rubbed his sore forehead with a wry smile.

"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

Obviously, this statement was not credible. Even the thick-skinned Song Xulin noticed something was wrong, but he preferred to selectively ignore it.

Besides, Chi Qinghe is a patient now. Even if he is smart on weekdays, it is normal for him to be a little confused during special periods.

He touched Chi Qinghe's forehead with his hand, which was still hot, and said, "He is really sick and confused. Even people can admit their mistakes."

Chi Qinghe clenched the cup, blinked slowly, and took a long time to breathe, "Sorry."

"If you apologize to me again, I will call Uncle Chi! If you get scolded then, I won't help you plead for mercy!" Song Xulin pretended to be angry and bared his teeth at Chi Qinghe.

Seeing Song Xulin's angry look, Chi Qinghe couldn't help but laughed out loud, and most of the resentment and sadness that was squeezed in his chest was released at this moment.

He raised his wrist little by little, wanting to rub the furry head, but halfway through, he was stopped by the anxious Song Xulin.

"Bah-"

After tearing off the cotton ball and medical tape on the back of Chi Qinghe's hand used to stop the bleeding, Song Xulin let out a long sigh, and an inexplicable sense of pride appeared on his face.

"I'm counting the time. Now is the perfect time to tear it off."

Chi Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and there was a bit of melting tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Song Xulin.

The sunlight outside the window seemed to particularly favor the two young men beside the hospital bed. One of them was showing off arrogantly, with "Praise me" written all over his face; the other was silent from beginning to end, but the doting in his eyes was almost overflowing.

The sunlight enveloped them, as if draped with a layer of intimate golden gauze, silently isolating them from everything outside, including... Gong Huasui.

The boy's back was mechanically stiff, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his long eyelashes were half-drooped, and his whole body was surrounded by a sad and suffocating atmosphere, and he actually looked a little gloomy, which was rare.

Gong Huasui couldn't count how many emotions were in his heart: sadness, grievance, contradiction, envy, fear...

But none of this is enough to overwhelm "jealousy".

Yes, he was jealous of Song Xulin, no matter when.

I envy his freedom to do whatever he wants, his honesty, and even more so his free and easy first half of life and carefree second half.

The person he loves has always been protecting others... How can he not be jealous?

Before, this jealousy had a way to be vented, because he had the absolute preference of the person he loved. No matter how willful or naughty he was, there was always a warm embrace waiting for him.

But now, he has nothing. He pushed his lover away with his own hands. No matter what the reason, it is unforgivable.

As if stabbed by the silent intimacy before his eyes, Gong Huasui silently lowered his head, forcing himself not to look, but his mind couldn't help but replay the scene before he entered the door, when Qinghe looked at him with a smile -

It was like reuniting with a good friend whom I hadn't seen for many days, and his smile was especially gentle.

Also extremely ruthless.

Gong Huasui clenched his fists and thought for a long time before he dared to speak and said the first sentence to Chi Qinghe.

"Qinghe, you are sick."

Chi Qinghe paused for a moment, and finally turned his head to look at him and Nanna, who was silently in a vegetative state beside him.

"The temperature has dropped rapidly recently, and it's easy to catch a cold. You should also be careful and wear more clothes when going out."

His voice was still hoarse from just waking up. He spoke slowly with a smile on his face, and there was a tenderness in his voice that made Nanna's bones soften.

But when Gong Huasui listened, he felt only sadness in his heart, as if the last bit of advantage had disappeared and he was just a passerby from then on.

Glancing at Gong Huasui's suddenly drooping shoulders, Chi Qinghe's face rarely showed a hint of impatience. He raised his head and drank the warm water in the cup in one gulp.

Song Xulin remembered the nurse's instructions to let Chi Qinghe drink more water. Seeing that the cup was empty, he hurriedly grabbed it, filled it up, and put it back.

His eyes were focused on Chi Qinghe's sickly brows and pursed lips, and he suddenly became very annoyed.

Although he didn't like hanging around, he knew he shouldn't stay here any longer.

God knows what’s wrong with Gong Huasui, it’s like he’s schizophrenic!

Bloom to death when you can, pure and innocent... Come on, just catch Chi Qing and someone who is pure and innocent, he is not an easy person to deal with.

He ruffled his hair in annoyance and picked up the thermos on the cabinet.

"There's no water. I'll go get some and be back soon."

He said the last few words to Gong Huasui, which were full of threats!

Nanna's eyes were fixed on the running water dispenser on the west side of the ward. He muttered to himself, "What a lame excuse!", but then he raised his lips and made up an even more outrageous excuse -

It's windy on the rooftop, I'm going to close the window.

Also got away.

But before leaving, she gave Gong Huasui a suggestive look, warning him not to talk nonsense.

After the sounds of two doors opening and closing, an eerie silence filled the room.

It was not until Chi Qinghe put the cup in his hand back on the bedside table with a "clang" that the two of them seemed to suddenly connect and looked at each other.

"Gong Huasui."

Chi Qinghe raised his eyelids, "Is it fun to play tricks on me?"

"I'm sorry..." Gong Huasui lowered his eyelashes dejectedly and said with difficulty.

"So, everything you said last night was true."

Chi Qinghe suppressed the dull pain in his heart and stared at the young man opposite him.

"Disgusting...unworthy...to play with..."

Recalling the unbearable phone call last night, he raised the corners of his lips and suddenly laughed out loud.

I don't know if I was laughing at my own embarrassment or stupidity. I have lived for almost thirty years, but I was fooled by a teenager!
