then

Continuous high-intensity overtime work, plus the wind blowing when walking home on the night of the class reunion, Xu Le fell ill.When I woke up in the morning, I was top-heavy. Fortunately, the busiest time of work had passed, so Xu Le called back to the company to ask for sick leave.

I got up and ate something casually, took cold medicine, and went back to bed to lie down.I thought I could get over it, but this time the cold bacteria seemed to be particularly strong, and taking medicine didn't help much.Xu Le still got up and cleaned himself up, and took a taxi to the hospital.

It may be due to sudden changes in the weather, and there are a lot of people seeing a doctor.Xu Le signed up, and although he was feeling very uncomfortable, he could only sit and wait.After finally seeing a doctor, I paid for medicine and drips.The infusion room was already full, so Xu Le had no choice but to sit in the corridor outside the infusion room with the drip on.

Enduring the discomfort for so long, Xu Le leaned against the wall behind him with his eyes closed and his face flushed with fever.The body is not working hard, and the person is also in a daze.Although there were noisy people around, Xu Le still had to cheer himself up so that he would not fall asleep.

After finally getting through the drip, Xu Le just wanted to go home and lie down in bed.

Just walked out of the hospital building, stood near the door waiting for the car, and found that the car parked not far away looked very familiar.Probably because I was still sick and my mind was a little slow, and I couldn't remember whose car it was.Afterwards, he saw Shen Hao get out of the car, go around to the passenger cab and carefully help a woman get out of the car and walk towards the hospital.Probably because he was concentrating on talking to the woman, Shen Hao didn't seem to see Xu Le, so Xu Le didn't go over to say hello to them.

After getting off the taxi, Xu Le bought porridge at a nearby small restaurant and went home to eat. He really didn't have the energy to cook today.

Xu Le rents an old-style residential building. Although there is no elevator, the rent is cheap and the floor of the house is high enough. I usually feel that living here is good.But looking at the tall and straight stairs today, Xu Le couldn't help sighing.

Panting, he walked back to his home on the fifth floor. After entering the house, Xu Le casually put his things on the coffee table, and then sat on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.After a while, I got up and put away the things on the coffee table. Although I didn't have an appetite, I still had to eat the porridge while it was hot.

After slowly eating two mouthfuls of lukewarm porridge, the small room with one bedroom and one living room felt extremely empty and deserted. It was only after turning on the TV that I felt a little angry.

The TV just happened to be playing a documentary program about the elderly living alone and dying alone.The screen showed a photo of an interviewed old man in his prime, and then switched to his current appearance.The old man wiped his tears and said to the camera that he has nothing to fear now, but that he may die alone in the future and no one will find him at home.

Xu Le watched and ate, and the tasteless porridge turned extremely bitter, probably because the illness affected the taste buds and also made the heart fragile.

Turn off the TV, throw away the unfinished porridge, just wash up briefly, and fall asleep soon after lying on the bed under the influence of the medicine.

The surrounding area is white, and there is the smell of disinfectant in the air.

Two people who looked like students were sitting in the corridor of the hospital, and the tall boy said softly to the one who was on the drip: "You can lean against me, it will be more comfortable."

Hearing this, the boy with a sick face was not polite, squinting his eyes and leaning on him with his whole body relaxed.Not only did the tall boy not mind at all, but he adjusted his body to make him lean more comfortably, and then maintained this position until the drip was finished.

The woman sitting across from them, seeing the tall boy busy with the sick one, couldn't help but say, "You two are brothers, it's nice to have a relationship."

When leaving the hospital, the tall boy walked carefully with his arms around the patient.The person in his arms wanted to break away, but the tall boy comforted him: "Don't be nervous, no one will think about anything else in the hospital."

"Aren't you afraid of being infected?" Although the short boy asked, he didn't intend to break away.

Walking out of the door, while no one was paying attention, the tall boy quickly kissed him on the forehead.

"you……"

"Finding the heat." The tall boy said with a mischievous smile, "Pass all the germs to me, anyway, I'm stronger than you."

"fool."

Although still sick, the short boy smiled.He has crooked eyebrows, and there is only one person in his eyes, and his chest is full of sweetness.

The corners of Xu Le's mouth were still raised when he woke up so sweet, he slowly opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the room softly illuminated by the bedside light, the sourness gradually replaced the sweetness.

It was a dream.

just a dream.
