bother you

The bright lights of the hospital made the large bruises on his chest invisible, Yan Xiao lifted the hem of his clothes, frowning tightly between his brows, and his eye sockets were full of shadows from the light.

The doctor was wearing gloves, rubbing the wound, asking "Does it hurt?" from time to time.

"Yeah." He nodded, his thin lips pursed into a thin line.

"Do you feel any throbbing pain when you breathe?" The doctor paused for a few seconds after asking, but raised his eyes when there was no response.

Yan Xiao was staring at a spot on the floor in a daze, absent-minded, and didn't hear it at all.

"Ask you." Shen Xun gently pushed his shoulder, "Don't be distracted."

He withdrew his gaze and subconsciously straightened his back, "What?"

The doctor's face was gloomy, he waved his hands impatiently, turned around and knocked in front of the computer, and the small printer beside him made a "swish, swish" sound.Soon, a series of orders poured out of the printer.

"Let's take an X-ray first." The doctor tore off the list, and before Yan Xiao took it, he rang the bell to notify the next person.

Yan Xiao was restless, Shen Xun took the list first, smiled at the doctor, grabbed his arm and walked out of the clinic.

"I said I'm fine." There was a long queue at the payment window, Yan Xiao became more irritable, and stroked his head twice, "No more shots."

"Why didn't you take a picture after you fucking crashed like this?" Shen Xun refused to let him go, "Why didn't you tell me when the doctor asked you if it hurts when you breathed? You sneezed and your face turned pale from the pain, is it okay? "

Yan Xiao took a sharp breath as if to prove that breathing is not painful, and the next second his brows were furrowed, sweating profusely, "Hiss..."

"Fuck!" Shen Xun shouted, "Are you sick?"

Yan Xiao shook his head slightly, his voice was low and hoarse, a little dejected, "I'm just fucking sick."

"You..." Shen Xun wanted to give him a punch, but could barely hold back, and said: "The film must be filmed, if you do this again, I will call Brother Ce right away. It just so happens that he hasn't left yet, so I can't control you, he Still can't handle it?"

Yan Xiao's face became even uglier, his hands were in his trouser pockets, his chest was a little stiff, and he stopped talking.

Compared with the long queue outside the payment window, there were not many people taking pictures, Yan Xiao came out in a few minutes, Shen Xun picked up the film and looked at it, but he pulled it over, "What kind of expert do you pretend to be, you can understand? "

"You can always tell if a bone is broken or not."

"A bone is broken and I'm still standing here talking to you?" Yan Xiao strode towards the consulting room, "It's a slight fracture at most."

"That's serious." Shen Xun said, "Zhaofan's kick..."

Hearing this, Yan Xiao tightened his fingers, and the light sheet was pinched into creases, "It's my problem, don't complain about him."

Shen Xun sighed, "Of course it's your problem. Forget it, don't talk about it now, just take the film to the doctor."

"The bone is fine." The doctor glanced at it, and said while prescribing the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis: "But the soft tissue contusion is more serious, and there will be obvious pain when breathing, coughing, and bending over in a short period of time. Exercise strenuously, don't catch a cold..."

Coming out of the hospital, Shen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's okay."

When Yan Xiao came back in the middle of the night, he stood on the balcony in a daze, holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, but he didn't smoke.He didn't know why this man was going crazy, his hands were weightless, just pressing on the man's shoulder and pulling.

Yan Xiao's facial features were distorted in pain, his lips turned white from biting, but he didn't make a sound.

The last time I saw Yan Xiao like this was when I hurt my bone in a gang fight together in high school.

It was inconvenient to talk in the dormitory, so Yan Xiao told him the truth when he went to the balcony at the end of the corridor to dry clothes.

——When Zhaofan found out, he was furious.

Shen Xun was a bystander, and knew very well that Zhaofan would know sooner or later, and also understood that according to Zhaofan's temperament, anger is inevitable, a kick is considered light, and a punch in the face is not too much.

But he didn't expect that Yan Xiao would reveal his secrets in this way.

Zhao Fan actually went to the electronic reading room in the middle of the night to "catch the scene" after he noticed the abnormality.

The lights on the terrace were dim, but even so, it could be seen that Yan Xiao's chest was indeed injured.It was not far from dawn at that time, so he made a quick decision and decided to go to the hospital immediately.

"I have to apologize to Zhaofan," Yan Xiao said.

"What are you apologizing for now?" Shen Xun pointed upstairs, "In the middle of the night, you apologized to a person who was still angry? Can he listen? Believe it or not, if you go to him now, can he say goodbye again? Kick you? Besides, are you clear-headed? Have you figured out how to explain it?"

Yan Xiao's eyes were dark, and he wanted to breathe out, but his nose wrinkled in pain.

"Listen to me, go to the hospital first." Shen Xun said: "Zhaofan is a straightforward person. He regards you as a good brother. If you lie to him, he must be anxious with you. But a person like him can't remember grudges at all." , the anger comes and goes quickly, you give him some time, and you also give yourself some time, wait for his anger to subside, and you yourself are sober, and then apologize to him. What kind of virtue is he? It's not that he doesn't know, can he forgive you?"

On the way to the hospital, Yan Xiao leaned on the back seat of the taxi without saying a word, and stared out the window without blinking, his pupils were dazed and fragmented with dim light.

When I arrived at the hospital, the sky was just turning pale. It was already 11 am when I left the hospital.Yan Xiao supported his chest through the material of the clothes, his expression was more gloomy than in the middle of the night.

"Have you figured out how to tell Zhaofan?" Shen Xun asked.

Taking a taxi during the day is no worse than midnight, and the few cars passing by are all full of people.The two stood on the side of the road, sweating from the gradually hotting sun.

"Do you remember the last time we discussed this matter, I said that I was most afraid that Zhaofan would not respond." Yan Xiao's voice was dry, and his eyes were absent-mindedly watching the traffic.

"Remember, you said that you are not afraid of him getting angry, but you are afraid that he will not respond." Shen Xun said: "He reacted so violently, are you relieved?"

Yan Xiao shook his head, his jaw tightened and then loosened, and he hesitated to speak.

Shen Xun turned his face sideways, "What's on your mind?"

"Do you know why he is so angry?" Yan Xiao's tone was filled with uncontrollable depression, "I was in a daze at the time, and now I can almost figure it out. He is angry and I didn't tell him earlier, that's all."

The words were unclear, Shen Xun asked: "What do you mean?"

"The 'reaction' I want is not like this." Yan Xiao sighed softly, "It's more than that."

Shen Xun was irritated by the sun, "What do you want to say?"

"I thought he would be aware of my feelings for him." Yan Xiao said: "Even a little bit is fine. But he didn't at all, he was only angry that I didn't tell him that I was 'Kang Yi Xiao', I don't take anger He's a brother."

Shen Xun thought about it for a while, and roughly figured out Yan Xiao's meaning, "Do you want him to think you are different?"

Yan Xiao raised his head halfway, squinted at the scorching sunlight, and smiled wryly, "He didn't think about that at all. To him, I'm just a 'buddy', with you, with Lu Xiaochuan, and in the store. The other 'buddies' are no different."

"That's because he is straight in the first place, and he can't think of that." Shen Xun felt that his brother was a little hypocritical, and a little unreasonable, "It's also fortunate that he didn't think that way, otherwise you would not only be kicked at night. "

"I'd rather be beaten up by him." Yan Xiao said.

Shen Xun breathed out, "You are really sick."

At this time, an empty car finally came, Shen Xun stopped it, opened the door and said, "Okay, don't think about it. Are you frustrated that Zhaofan didn't beat you up? Let's go back just before dinner, I guess he The fire has been reduced by half, I will ask him out for you, and you should apologize to him."

"He's in the store." Yan Xiao muffled, "He has to go to work today."

Shen Xun forgot about the part-time job, "What about you? Do you still go to the pet beauty salon in the afternoon?"

Yan Xiao looked down at his hands, the car had already passed two blocks before he said, "I'll look for him in the store."

"Then stabilize your emotions, say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't." Shen Xun warned: "Zhaofan is a very nice and reasonable person, if you tell him clearly, he will forgive you soon. Seeing that I'm not far away from school, if I don't say it clearly in person, the longer it takes, the more troublesome it will be..."

Yan Xiao naturally understands the truth, but the closer he gets to the pet grooming salon, the faster his heartbeat will helplessly.

The rhetoric has been followed a thousand times and ten thousand times in my heart, but I still feel nervous when I actually say it.

But when he finally walked into the store, he realized that he didn't even have a chance to speak.

"Xiao Yan is here?" The plaster cast on Li Jue's arm has been removed, and he is about to go to the bathroom, "I thought you were on leave too!"

"Also?" Yan Xiao's eyes darkened.

"Zhaofan asked for leave, didn't you know?"

Yan Xiao looked in the direction of the bathroom, and there was an empty roar in his ears, "He asked for leave? Didn't come?"

"That's right, I won't be here for a while." Li Jue said.

Yan Xiao endured the discomfort, and asked again: "He didn't say why?"

"I told you, he has something to do at home, so he went home." Li Jue took a golden retriever by the hand, "I left this morning. Hey, once he leaves, there won't be enough manpower. Hurry up, Xiaoyan..."

Before the words were finished, Yan Xiao was no longer in the store.

The sun was scorching hot at noon, and there was almost no place for shade on the short road from the pet beauty salon to the police station.Yan Xiao ran wildly all the way, the more and more rapid breathing pulled the wound on his chest, the pain pumped around like a shock wave.

The mechanically cold female voice came over and over again from the mobile phone she was holding tightly - "The number you dialed has been turned off".

Yan Xiao gritted his teeth fiercely, stopped less than ten meters away from the gate of the police academy, arched his body sharply, and panted violently.

Sweat kept falling on the concrete floor, marking circles that gradually became shallower and evaporated.

It is impossible for Zhaofan to leave without saying goodbye because of what happened at night, let alone turn off his phone in order to refuse to answer his call.

Zhaofan is not such a character at all!

Li Jue said "he has something to do at home", this is the real reason.

Yan Xiao clutched his chest, the pain there was severe, but it didn't seem to come from the injured soft tissue.

He remembered very clearly what Zhaofan looked like when he received a call from "Brother Hao" outside the gym that night.

Zhao Fan said, "Brother Hao" is a policeman, and his mission is very dangerous.

Zhao Fan also said that he hoped that "Brother Hao" would return safely.
