In the silent place

Jiang Dong and Bai Yutang returned to the ward one after another, within 2 minutes of each other.Since Zhan Zhao was hospitalized, the room has never been so lively.

"Young Master Bai, I just bought a few small stir-fries, let's make do with it." Jiang Dong moved the small wooden table in front of the window to the middle of the two hospital beds, and took out a few cans of drinks from the small refrigerator.

Bai Yutang just entered the door, his head was sweating, and he walked into the bathroom with his clothes shaking. "Eat first, I'll wash my face."

"Fourth brother, come here, you're welcome." Jiang Dong said while taking out the lunch box he bought from the plastic bag and placing it on the wooden table.

Jiang Ping had just eaten before coming here, and he wasn't hungry at all, but he couldn't resist seeing the other party's enthusiasm. He nodded and said good, turned the wooden chair around, and ate slowly with Jiang Dong.

Jiang Dong took two mouthfuls of rice, suddenly remembered something, stood up and took out a pair of earplugs from the small plastic box on the bedside table, walked to Zhan Zhao, and said softly, "Go to sleep for a while."

"I'm not sleepy yet, you can go eat, I'm fine." Zhan Zhao said.

"I haven't slept for several hours, and I will squint for a while if I am not sleepy."

Zhan Zhao sighed in his heart, he really didn't want others to worry about him while eating, so he turned his head and said, "Fourth brother, you eat, I'll rest for a while."

Jiang Ping hurriedly raised his chopsticks, waved his hands and said, "You sleep with you, don't worry about us."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, and raised his hand to grope for a while. Jiang Dong knew what he wanted to do, and without saying a word, he grabbed his hand and put it back to his side, and put the earplugs on for him.Jiang Ping watched from the side, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.Everyone around Zhan Zhao is very kind to him. If this illness hadn't happened, what would his life be like...

Bai Yutang came out of the bathroom and sat down next to Jiang Dong with wet stubble. "Is he not eating?"

"Huh?" Jiang Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and lowered his voice while picking up vegetables: "He still can't eat this, don't worry, my old mother fed him porridge earlier. He didn't close his eyes all afternoon. I guess he is tired now, I just brought him earplugs and let him sleep for a while."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao who was on the opposite bed, and didn't speak any more.

After eating, several people cleared the table. Seeing that Zhan Zhao hadn't moved for a long time, Jiang Dong seemed to be fast asleep. He turned his head and said to Jiang Ping and Bai Yutang, "Fourth Brother, Young Master Bai, it's not early yet. Already, you guys go back."

"You go back. I'll accompany him tonight." Bai Yutang replied.

"How does this work?"

"Why not?"

Jiang Dong scratched his head. Although Bai Yutang and his cousin are good friends, after all, Bai Yutang is a superstar and also his direct boss. Let him stay here to take care of his cousin. How could he do such a thing? promise? ! "Young Master Bai, you'd better go back. His condition is much more stable now, don't worry too much, I will call you if something happens."

"I said I'd accompany him, anyway, I've been free recently."

"But..."

"It's nothing to worry about, don't worry about it."

As the two of them talked, their voices grew louder. Zhan Zhao hadn't slept soundly. Hearing the quarrel, he took off his earplugs and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

When Bai Yutang saw that he had woken him up, he hurried to the bedside and said, "It's okay, you sleep on your own."

Hearing his hasty tone, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel tense when he remembered what Jiang Dong said just now. "Cousin? What's the matter?"

"He said he would stay and watch the night, but I told him to go back and he wouldn't do it." Jiang Dong answered truthfully.

Zhan Zhao sighed, and said in a low voice, "You'd better go back, I'm fine now."

Bai Yutang stared at him quietly for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and whispered softly in his ear: "It doesn't matter if you can't leave your cousin, I'll lay the floor here, anyway, I don't care."

Zhan Zhao felt the veins on his head throbbing, and he clenched his fists tightly.He was aware of Bai Yutang's temperament, the other party was not just talking for fun.He gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "Cousin, go back."

"this?!..."

"It's okay." Zhan Zhao said.

Jiang Ping on the side pulled Jiang Dong and said, "Don't worry, my fifth younger brother is watching him, he's fine. They haven't seen each other for a while, let them have a good chat."

Seeing Jiang Dong looking at him with a worried expression, Bai Yutang said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't eat your cousin."

Jiang Dong glanced at it, seeing that the other party had said everything to this point, and it would be hypocritical to refuse.He walked over and looked down at his cousin, and said, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow. Don't talk too late, rest early."

"Oh, I see."

Seeing that there was something in his words, Bai Yutang obviously said it to himself, and felt annoyed for a while. "Okay, after you two leave, he can rest."

Seeing his impatient expression, Jiang Ping secretly smiled inwardly, and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhan Zhao. "Zhan Zhao, then you rest, I'll come back another day."

"Okay, fourth brother, go slowly."

"Then I will withdraw too." Jiang Dong said, shook his cousin's hand, turned around and walked out of the ward with Jiang Ping.

Bai Yutang saw that the suspension on the infusion stand was about to bottom out, and pressed the beeper to call the little nurse to pull out the needle for Zhan Zhao.After the nurse left, the room became quiet again.Bai Yutang pulled the wooden chair from one side and sat down near the bed.

"Cat, if you are tired, go to sleep."

Hearing his soft tone, Zhan Zhao felt suffocated in his heart, and said slowly, "Then you should go to bed earlier." As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was grabbed by the other party.The warm body temperature slowly spread from the palm of the opponent's hand, and the warmth was like a magical force, which was slowly injected into the blood and flowed to all parts of the body.

Bai Yutang looked at the person in front of him, thousands of words came to his mind, but he didn't know where to start.Looking back, over the past many years, even now he only knows superficially about this person.When did he get sick?When did you leave school?And how did he spend these years overseas?He doesn't understand at all.In those days of parting, he has been struggling with resentment and memories. Now the person he misses is right in front of his eyes, but the emotion in his heart is stronger than ever. He only wishes to melt him into his blood and never separate him .

He remembered that in the winter vacation of his junior year, the man fell ill after they returned from traveling in Qiyun Mountain, but the school was approaching, and the two returned to school in a hurry. Unexpectedly, this parting would last four years.

"Mao'er, did you know about your illness since Qi Yunshan's incident?"

"No."

Although the topic is heavy, some things cannot be avoided forever, and what should be faced will be faced sooner or later.Bai Yutang leaned down, propped his arms on the edge of the bed, looked at Zhan Zhao slightly, and said, "I heard from the fourth brother that you were sent down the mountain overnight by the instructor during the training camp. Why didn't you tell me when you went abroad?" me?"

Waited for a long time, but could not wait for a word.The person on the bed was too mean to say a word.Bai Yutang looked at him, feeling angry and hurt.After so many years, why is this person still like this now.He gently raised Zhan Zhao's hand, and slowly put it on his lips.

Zhan Zhao sensed something was wrong, and struggled to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by the other party. "do not do that."

"What don't you want?" Bai Yutang said bitterly. "I have been tricked by you for so many years, and now you still tell me not to do this?! When are you going to run away? Why can't you be honest! Or are you going to find some other asshole reason to push me away? !"

Breathing seemed to stop in an instant, and Zhan Zhao felt as if his heart had been dug out, and even breathing became painful.As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Bai Yutang regretted it, he was still ill, what kind of temper did he have!Seeing that Zhan Zhao's breathing became more and more rapid, and even his hands were trembling, he wished he could punch himself twice.

"Cat, I...I'm not trying to lose my temper with you, I'm just in a hurry..." He sighed, held Zhan Zhao's hand between his palms, and said softly: "No matter what it is, I will be happy in the future." Don't hide it from me anymore. I know you are doing it for my own good, but I don't want to continue like this. Last time I was bad, if you are still angry, you can beat me and scold me. I just hope you will be more honest in the future , don't say those duplicity words anymore, do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to hear..."

Zhan Zhao lay quietly on the bed, as if a big hole had been dug by an awl in his heart, the pain was like tearing.Although he couldn't see it, he could feel the other party's black eyes in the darkness, deep and fiery, staring at him closely, as if his soul had been seen through.The emotions that had been buried for a long time were suddenly revealed by this person, nakedly presented, leaving him nowhere to hide.Obviously, the person you don't want to hurt the most is the other party, why is it like this now? "Sorry, I..."

Bai Yutang felt pain in his heart when he heard his voice was so hoarse, he raised a hand and pressed it lightly on his lips. "Don't talk about it, I know everything. Whether you say I am arrogant or conceited, from now on, you will never try to drive me away."

Zhan Zhao choked up, unable to say a word.At this point in life, he has nothing to lose, but this person in front of him is different.He has his family, his responsibilities, his career...

"Do you like the story "Worth It"?" Bai Yutang suddenly asked in a low voice.

Zhan Zhao held his breath and said in a choked voice, "I like it."

"I know you have something you want to hold on to, and so do I." Bai Yutang looked at him deeply, really wanting to hold him in his arms like this, and never let him go for the rest of his life. "Cat, do you understand what I mean?"

How could he not understand? !Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, not knowing how to answer.He once cruelly pushed this person away, thinking that he would walk out of his own world, and would not be sad when facing himself, and would not be sad when he left...

"Cat..." Bai Yutang called out in a low voice, resting his forehead on the back of Zhan Zhao's hand. "Life is long and short, and I don't want to miss anything with you. No matter what happens in the future, we have agreed that we will be together for the rest of our lives. Don't hide from me anymore, okay?"

To be together for the rest of his life... He didn't know how many times he had thought about this kind of thing in his heart.People live for a lifetime, and the grass and trees fall in autumn.No one knows what will happen tomorrow.If the misfortune is as the fourth brother said, he will never forgive himself in his life.This person beside him is the person he wants to cherish most in his heart...Why is he so stupid? "Hmm..." Zhan Zhao replied with choked sobs, couldn't hold it anymore, and slowly held the other's hand, tears streaming down his face.A lifetime is very short, so short that he may not be able to see the sun of tomorrow, but a step is so long, so long that he has spent so many years. "sorry..."

Bai Yutang raised his hand and gently took off Zhan Zhao's blindfold, and put his palm on his eyes.He didn't feel sorry for himself in the slightest. If this happened to him at the beginning, his choice would be the same as this person's.He thought he would never meet someone as determined as Zhan Zhao again.There may be many people who love him in this world, but the one who loves him the most, who loves him so much that he can give up on him, is only such a person in this life.Looking back on the tortuous road, they went round and round, and took so many detours to get to where they are today. Who is right and who is wrong is no longer important.There can be a few four years in life, and those that are missed can never be retrieved, but in the days to come, he will definitely walk with him.

At the end of June, before falling into ambush, the weather is already hot.In the silent night, there were occasional cicadas chirping outside the window. Bai Yutang was lying on the companion bed, looking at Zhan Zhao not far away, tossing and turning sleeplessly.

"Cat, are you asleep?"

After a while without hearing the other party's reply, Bai Yutang sighed slightly and turned over.He must be exhausted from all the tossing around in the afternoon...

"Sleeping." Suddenly came a faint reply from behind.

Bai Yutang closed his eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth to smile. "Cat..."

"Ok?"

"Go to sleep."

"Ah."

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."

"..."

"Or..." Bai Yutang turned around, faced Zhan Zhao's side again, and said softly, "I'll go to your side."

"..."

In the darkness, Zhan Zhao lay quietly on the bed with his back facing him, the moonlight came in through the window screen, casting a faint halo on his body.After waiting for a long time for an answer, Bai Yutang stretched out his long legs and touched the person on the bed next to him. "Hey! Is it okay? You should meow."

"I'm already asleep, so don't scream endlessly..." Zhan Zhao muttered softly.

Hearing what he said, Bai Yutang got up and rubbed against the other person's bed.Zhan Zhao was hugged from behind by him, so startled that he raised his arm and threw it backward.

"What?"

"Don't do anything, sleep!"

"It's so hot!" The person behind him was like a furnace, Zhan Zhao struggled a few times and kicked back. "You go back."

"It's not hot, it's quite cool." The punch and kick were like tickling, it didn't hurt or itch when it landed on the body.Bai Yutang felt pain in his heart, and slowly pressed his cheek against the back of Zhan Zhao's neck. "Aren't you asleep?"

Zhan Zhao was speechless by what he said, moved forward, closed his eyes and stopped talking.Bai Yutang smiled slightly, tightened his arms around the other's waist, blew into his ear, and said softly, "You're asleep, so stop rubbing around..."

"Bai Yutang!"

"Okay, okay, sleep!"
