african diary

After sending Xiao Hang back to Niamey the next day, Ted disappeared.What depressed Xiao Hang the most was that he was not happy at first, and had to deal with Tang Xi's cynicism.

"You are quite close to the son of the Ouattara family. If something happened, you would not find me, the senior sister, but him. But leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, climbing up the big tree of the Ouattara family Shu, you can get by easily in Africa, and you don't need me as a senior sister anymore." What happened in the Bororo tribe that day still made Tang Xi feel a little grudged.

I'm tired enough of myself to bother explaining.

Looking at Xiao Hang who turned a blind eye to him and walked straight to the room, Tang Xi suddenly felt a nameless anger, "Xiao Hang, can't you work on your own? Like a little boy, relying on men, don't you think Are you ashamed?" The moment Tang Xi blurted out the vicious words, he regretted it himself.

After watching Tang Xi quietly for a while, Xiao Hang replied: "Thank you for reminding me, I will rely on myself."

In the days that followed, Xiao Hang and Ted really returned to the relationship of ordinary friends. Except for the occasional fruits and vegetables, Ted did not do any more transgressive actions.

It’s just—every night at □□, when Xiao Hang finished his work and returned to his room to turn on his computer, Ted would wait for him on MSN and chat with him casually.Forget it, even ordinary friends, it’s not too much to talk about, Xiao Hang said to himself in his heart.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Xiao Hang and Tang Xi are working hard in order to go home for the New Year. Tang Xi is mainly responsible for doing financial settlement and writing project summaries in the company, while Xiao Hang runs around various project sites to do some pre-vacation work. layout.

The days of running around made Xiao Hang very tired. When he returned to the dormitory this evening, he ate something and then lay down on the bed to rest.

After lying down for an unknown amount of time, the sleeping Xiao Hang was awakened by the ringing of the phone, which must have been ringing for a long time, and the phone had already hung up when he was about to pick it up.Tiredly, he raised his hand and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table. It was already 58:[-], and there were twelve missed calls.Xiao Hang pressed the button and looked, it was all from Ted.Just as he was about to call back, the phone rang again, and when he pressed the answer button, Ted's eager voice came over——

"Why don't you go online? And don't answer my calls."

"I am a little uncomfortable."

"Where is it uncomfortable?" Ted looked a little anxious.

"I just have no strength, and my head hurts a little. It should be a cold."

"When did it start?"

"It was a little bit a few days ago, and it feels aggravated today."

"Let Tang Xi take you to the hospital quickly." Ted said in an orderly tone.

This man came again, always pretending to be his guardian.

"Oh." Too lazy to argue with him, this guy probably isn't in Niamey, so let's just deal with it.

"Don't perfunctory me, go right away, you know?"

"Okay, let's go now." Fuck you bastard, if you have a cold and ask your female colleague to take you to the hospital in the middle of the night, you will definitely make a fuss out of a molehill.

Ted urged him several times, but Xiao Hang overcame them.After hanging up the phone, he took some cold medicine and went to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao Hang was awakened by Ted's violent intrusion into the room.

"Why can't you be more obedient?" Ted growled helplessly at the person on the bed.

"Can you keep your voice down, I have a terrible headache." I also took the medicine and fell asleep, but the strange thing is that the symptoms did not seem to be relieved.

"I know why you are disobedient when you have a headache," Ted came to the bed and helped Xiao Hang sit up, "I really can't leave you for a minute."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital." After Ted finished speaking, he was about to pick up Xiao Hang.

"Wait, why did I go with you? Besides, I have to get dressed before I go out."

Ted didn't make any further moves, and waited quietly for Xiao Hang to get dressed.

"Can we go?"

"I will go to the hospital myself, and our company will pay for the medical expenses for me."

"The clinics run by black people can't cure the disease at all. I'll take you to the best hospital."

"...Okay." It was really uncomfortable, and Xiao Hang didn't want to be brave anymore.

On the way, Ted said while driving: "I have an inexplicable cold, you probably have malaria."

"Malaria?" Xiao Hang frowned, this is a high incidence in Africa.

"Have you been bitten by a mosquito recently?"

"Isn't that nonsense? Niger is a place where mosquitoes are raging wherever you go. It would be a miracle if you don't get bitten someday." Thinking that I was recruited so quickly.

"Malaria is a common disease in Africa. Blacks treat it like a cold, and you can get over it. If you go to a black clinic, they will treat you as a cold doctor."

"Actually, the technology of the Chinese medical team is quite good."

"Having said that," Ted paused, "let's go to my friend's clinic. The clinic run by the French is better."

The car stopped in front of a white western-style building, took Xiao Hang into the clinic, told the clinic owner Daniel wearing glasses that this was his friend, and asked him to take care of him, Ted turned around and said to Xiao Hang: " You do the inspection, and I'll buy you something to eat."

After listening to Xiao Hang's description, Daniel's judgment was the same as Ted's, suspecting that he had malaria.

"Let's do a blood test first." Handing Xiao Hang to the nurse, Daniel went to work on other things.

At the stall waiting for the test results, Ted had already returned, and Xiao Hang was powerlessly nestling in a chair, gnawing on bread.

"It's malaria, it should be about to enter the attack period," Daniel walked over with the test sheet, "Infusion immediately."

"Go upstairs," Thad said.

"……All right."

The environment of the ward upstairs is very good. The spacious room and warm layout do not look like a ward, but a private living place.

After placing Xiao Hang and plugging in the infusion tube, the nurse left first. Daniel and Ted went to the door and whispered for a while before leaving.

"What did you say?"

"You don't want to know," Ted replied with a smile.

Forget it, he was always like this, Xiao Hang lay on the bed and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Halfway through the injection, Xiao Hang felt inexplicably cold.

"Ted, I'm a little cold." I didn't want to disturb Ted, who was resting by the bed. I don't know if he drove here last night without sleeping, but he was so cold that his teeth were about to chatter.

Ted shook his cold hand, turned around and went to the cabinet to get a blanket, and continued to hold Xiao Hang's hand after finishing.

Ted's hand was warm and thick. At this moment, Xiao Hang suddenly didn't want to be brave, and just absorbed the tempting warmth.

However, this still couldn't solve the problem. After a while, Xiao Hang felt even colder, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.Seeing Xiao Hang in pain, Ted took off his coat and got under the quilt, hugging Xiao Hang's body tightly.

"Don't be like this, the nurse will come and see what to do."

"I won't call them, they won't come in." Ted didn't want to let go at all.

Ted's arms are really warm, and his firm but not too hard chest muscles are more lingering than the best pillow.Is it really possible?Xiao Hang forcibly suppressed the voice of disapproval in his heart, so be it, he is sick, isn't he?No one will blame the patient for being wayward.So, Xiao Hang stretched out the hand without the tip of the needle to Ted's armpit, hugged it gently, and rested his head on Ted's chest.

"Xiao Hang," Ted's voice came from the top of his head. He seemed to have never called his name so formally before, "Shall we be together? I dare not promise forever, but before you decide to let go, I will I only love you alone."

Xiao Hang was taken aback by Ted's words, can this really happen?Leaving aside domestic girlfriends, avoiding the inevitable fate of getting married, and indulging oneself recklessly.If... If he is not ready to let go for the rest of his life, will Ted keep his promise and never leave him?Can I afford the fate of being together again?

"Don't hesitate," Ted rubbed Xiao Hang's forehead lovingly with the stubble from his chin, "I have thought a lot about this time apart, if you refuse this time, I will really be heartbroken .”

"...I don't know what to say." Really don't know.

Ted raised Xiao Hang's face, and kissed his lips lightly, it was a gentle and intoxicating kiss, tasted lightly, without any deep meaning.

"Aren't you afraid of infection?"

"Fool," Ted chuckled, "didn't you know that malaria is caused by the bite of a mosquito that carries the parasite? It's bloodborne, not airborne."

"Oh," people will become fools in front of their loved ones, "have you ever had malaria?"

"I got it, I got it when I was very young. Don't worry, after you get it once, you will get immunity for life."

I suddenly wanted to know who warmed Ted when he was as vulnerable as himself and was tortured by malaria when he was a child, but Xiao Hang didn't open his mouth, just said softly——

"Ok."

"What's all right?" Ted hadn't reacted to Xiao Hang's sudden words.

"Okay, let's be together." Xiao Hang announced the news lightly, which made Ted crazily happy.

The excitement couldn't be expressed in words, Ted didn't say anything, but hugged Xiao Hang even more tightly, and the emptiness that had lasted for a long time was finally filled.

——This guy, it's too tight, do you want to hug yourself out of breath?I'm still sick.Before falling asleep, Xiao Hang thought so.
