long thought

The ward where Yang Fengshi lived was a single room with good lighting and complete equipment, including a bathroom, TV, a wide sofa and a small coffee table.

Lin Zhi had just answered a phone call and left, and he happened to have the opportunity to look around.

To be honest, it's a waste of sleeping in this ward for someone like him who has only injured one arm, but in a private hospital like this, the conditions in the wards are not that bad.

Lin Zhi answered the phone and came back, asking him, "Are you hungry?"

Yang Fengshi thought for a while before ordering, "Well, a little." He hasn't eaten anything since morning.

"I'll order you a meal." Lin Zhi asked him very carefully, "You can only eat light food now, is there any taboo?"

Yang Fengshi shook his head, "No, I can do it, just make arrangements for you."

As soon as Lin Zhi left, the whole ward fell into an eerie silence again. He wondered if the soundproofing of the room was too good. He couldn't hear a single sound. Coupled with the whiteness everywhere, he felt flustered for no reason.

What if he can't sleep at night...

After thinking about it, Lin Zhi came back, still holding a bag of fruit in his hand, "The meal may have to wait a while, let's eat some fruit first."

Yang Fengshi didn't like to eat fruits, especially apples and pears, but he couldn't refuse Lin Zhi's concern, so he could only nod his head, "Okay, thank you."

When Lin Zhi was peeling the apples, Yang Fengshi was terrified. He was really not very skilled, and he couldn't control the tip of the knife several times. He even wanted to tell him not to peel the apples, just wash and eat.

Seeing his worried eyes, Lin Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not good at craftsmanship." Except when he was holding a pen, his hands were basically a decoration in his life.

Yang Fengshi was thinking in his heart: What skills do you want? Such beautiful hands should be used to hold pens and play the piano. It's too wasteful to use them to peel apples.

The apple was almost half a circle smaller when it reached Yang Fengshi's hand, so Lin Zhi picked up another apple and asked, "Should I peel another one?"

Yang Fengshi quickly shook his head, "No need, one is enough." He hadn't swallowed the first bite yet.

Lin Zhi's phone rang again, he didn't go out this time, so he got up directly, "Yes."

Yang Fengshi concentrated on gnawing his own apple, trying not to let himself listen to the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, got it." After something was said there, Lin Zhi answered and hung up, and then said to Yang Fengshi, "My dad will come over later."

Yang Fengshi's mouth was bulging, and his speech was a little vague, "Mr. Lin should have been scared just now, so don't come here to see me." He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand, but as soon as he moved, he sucked in a cold breath. Gas, "Hiss..."

Lin Zhi stood up and pressed his hand lightly, "Does it hurt?"

Yang Fengshi froze for a moment, his fingers shrank uncontrollably, "No...it's okay."

"How about I ask the doctor if he can get some anesthetic?" Lin Zhi looked at him seriously.

Yang Fengshi lowered his head guiltily again, "No need, I just moved by myself, it's fine if I don't move."

With you by my side, it will be even less painful, he secretly thought.

Lin Zhi felt relieved after hearing the words, "Speak up if it hurts, don't be afraid of trouble."

"Okay." Yang Fengshi nodded.

Lin Zhi took his hand away, "Thank you, if it wasn't for you..." He couldn't tell, if it wasn't for Yang Fengshi, he couldn't bear the consequences.

Yang Fengshi chewed the food in his mouth with great effort, and said, "If it wasn't for me, it would be yours."

Lin Zhi raised his head to look at him, he had never seen such a firm look in his eyes, very convincing, "Really?" he asked.

"Of course, without me accompanying Uncle Lin, you will accompany Uncle Lin, and you may do better than me." Yang Fengshi spoke so clearly and forcefully in front of Lin Zhi for the first time.

Lin Zhi smiled after hearing his words, and his eyes became gentle, "You are very good at comforting people, thank you."

Yang Fengshi really wanted to say that although he had never comforted anyone, he also knew that what he said was not comfort, but that he really thought so.

But he didn't say it, it might be a little strange to Lin Zhi, if he said it, it would end in embarrassment, so it's better not to say it.

The meal came in a timely manner, right after the two of them had finished speaking, avoiding the possibility of a cold silence.

Lin Zhi set the table for him, and then took over from the nurse's hand, a bowl of lean meat porridge, a box of rice, two green vegetables and a bowl of corn rib soup. Not a lot.

"You may only be able to eat these light foods for a period of time, otherwise the wound will heal slowly and scars will be left easily." Lin Zhi arranged the things for him while saying, "When the wound is better If I invite you to dinner again, I will work hard for you during this time."

"It's not hard work." Yang Fengshi usually eats more sloppily than this, especially when the weather is hot, he has no appetite, and often eats casually to finish the meal.

He moved his body and wanted to sit up a little, so he straightened his back and moved back carefully.

Lin Zhi put away his things, took the pillow from the sofa and put it on his back, "Is this okay?"

"En." Yang Fengshi pursed his lips and bit his lower lip, "Thank you."

He was injured in his dominant hand, and he was not used to anywhere. He always wanted to move his right hand subconsciously, but it hurt when he moved it. He didn't want Lin Zhi to see it, so he could only bear it.

Lin Zhi saw that he was holding the chopsticks with his left hand inexperiencedly, and the dishes were trembling, so he couldn't help asking, "How about I feed you?"

Yang Fengshi reacted greatly when he heard this, subconsciously wanted to raise his right hand again, "Hiss..." This time his face wrinkled in pain.

Lin Zhi quickly took a closer look at his arm, "Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay..." He almost gritted his teeth.

Lin Zhi smiled helplessly, "What's your reaction? Are you so reluctant? I haven't fed anyone else yet."

Yang Fengshi's face became hot, "It's not reluctance, it's just..." He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat at all, and...Lin Zhi's first time...this kind of food sounds so strange...

"How about this, I'll use chopsticks, you use a spoon, I'll pick it up for you, and you'll be responsible for delivering it to your mouth." Lin Zhi suggested again.

Then, without waiting for Yang Fengshi to speak, he took the chopsticks in his hand and handed him the spoon, "This should be the most perfect solution. Do you have any objections? Xiao Yang."

Lin Zhi spoke as if coaxing a child, Yang Fengshi blushed even more.

"Let's eat some vegetables first, come." Lin Zhi seemed to regard this as a game, muttering, "One more spoonful of rice."

Yang Fengshi didn't say a word, just like an obedient child, he sent mouthfuls one after another.

"Alas—" Lin Zhi suddenly sighed, "There are so few dishes."

The people who ate did not complain, but the people who fed the food became disgusted first.

"Come on, have a drink of soup."

"This..." Yang Fengshi choked, "Cough...I can do this myself..."

"Slow down." Lin Zhi said.

Yang Fengshi couldn't control it all at once, and the soup bowl just bottomed out.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi asked him, "Do you want to play another bowl?"

Yang Fengshi finally had a good memory now, he didn't do anything, just shook his head, "No need, no need... I'm almost full."

Lin Zhi looked at what was left on the table, and said, "There's not much left."

Yang Fengshi was a little embarrassed, he just ate one... no, it was more than half an apple, it really took up his stomach, and with the bowl of soup just now, he was really full.

However, it is not impossible to eat anymore.

"It's okay, I'm not too full, I can finish eating." He said.

Lin Zhi smiled with satisfaction, "The meals in this hospital are all supervised by a nutritionist. The doctor said that you are weak, so you should eat more."

Yang Fengshi had never had this kind of experience of "for your own good", let alone it came from Lin Zhi, so he was even more convinced.

Indeed, he basically spent the winter with a cold, and it was useless to wear more clothes. Presumably it was because of his weak constitution.

When the two of them were in the final stage, Lin Qiusheng came suddenly. When he entered the door and saw the scene in the ward, he was puzzled for a while, but soon regained his composure, and said kindly, "Are you eating?"

"Uncle Lin..." Yang Fengshi greeted him stammeringly, and glanced at Lin Zhi's face—for some reason, he always felt that the expression on Lin Zhi's face changed when he heard Lin Qiusheng's voice.

"Let's finish eating first." Lin Zhi said, addressing Yang Fengshi.

Yang Fengshi looked at him, then at Lin Qiusheng, a little at a loss.

"It's okay, you can finish eating first." Lin Qiusheng came over and sat down by himself.

Yang Fengshi became even more nervous, and finished his meal in two or three bites.

After watching him finish eating, Lin Qiusheng said, "Thank you for this incident, Xiao Yang, if it weren't for you, I might..."

"Drink some water." Lin Zhi's voice was abrupt, and so was the bottle of water lying in front of Yang Fengshi's eyes.

He looked around again, took the water, and gulped it in.

"I'll take the things out first," Lin Zhi said.

"it is good."

Then he went out, ignoring Lin Qiusheng's existence from the beginning to the end.

"Uncle Lin, that..." Yang Fengshi wanted to speak up for Lin Zhi, but he couldn't find a position and didn't know how to speak.

Lin Qiusheng seemed to know what he was going to say, and shook his head, "It's okay, let him go." He stood up, walked over to look at Yang Fengshi's injured arm, "Is the injury serious?"

"Fortunately."

"It's not something that can be expressed just by saying thank you. After all, it's not you. I might not be able to stand here."

"You..." Yang Fengshi wanted to get up, but Lin Qiusheng raised his hand to stop him.

"When a person is old, he should be old." Lin Qiusheng seemed to be saying to Yang Fengshi, and also seemed to be saying to himself: "I have been chasing something for so long, and when it is coming to an end, I understand that yesterday cannot be left behind. If you stay, you deserve to worry."

Those who abandon me, don't let the day of yesterday stay; those who mess with my mind, the days of today are so worrying...
