Identity swap

After more than half a month of rehabilitation, I have almost recovered. I can run and jump, but I am still weak.Jiang Huaiyuan asked for leave from the hospital and wanted to take me home. Song Qi picked us up in a car, but it was National Day and there was a traffic jam on the road, so the car drove very slowly.

I watched passers-by coming and going outside the window, listening to music on Jiang Huaiyuan’s mobile phone. The male singer’s voice was very lazy, and the flowing singing voice was as warm and moving as a warm sunny afternoon in March. I hummed softly along with it.

Jiang Huaiyuan looked at me, sat closer to me, hugged me, took off the earphone on one side of me and put it in his ear, and listened to the song with me.

"Xiao Zhao, I didn't realize that you hum very nicely before." Song Qi's voice came from the front, "When will you go to the KTV with your seventh brother and roar?"

Jiang Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Old Song, you can just let it go and yell, how many girls are scared by your singing voice to avoid you?"

Surrounded by dense traffic, harsh horns one after another, and dazzling red taillights, the license plates on the side that can be seen are constantly changing, some people drive in and squeeze in, and some people change lanes and drive out. The scene of me rolling into the bottom of the car in my mind was like an edited old film movie, which was released slowly, and the fear hit me like a tide.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huaiyuan sensed something was wrong with me, hugged me a little tighter, and held my fingers in his hands, "Xiao Zhao, why are you so pale, what's wrong?"

"I..." I didn't know where to look for a while, there were double images all around, and I felt a little nauseous, as if someone had punched me hard in the chest, "I feel uncomfortable"

Jiang Huaiyuan pressed my face into his chest, I could feel him trembling a little, he called to Song Qi: "Old Song, is there any black cloth or something?"

"what happened?"

"Ask if you have any?" Jiang Huaiyuan asked a little impatiently, "After the car accident, I must be afraid to see so many cars."

"...No, I don't have this thing in my car," Song Qi said.

Jiang Huaiyuan's heart beat very fast.My heart beats faster than his, which is the frequency of being suffocated and unable to breathe.

I was a little cold, so cold that my upper and lower teeth chattered.Jiang Huaiyuan covered his sight with his hands, and he whispered to me, "Xiao Zhao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

But I couldn't hear it, I just remembered that I rolled under the car, the car drove past, and a group of people pointed around me, was I waiting for someone to help me at that time?

"Xiao Zhao, don't be afraid" Jiang Huaiyuan was still babbling, his hands tightly covering my eyes.

What Jiang Huaiyuan did made me gradually relax. My nails drew a deep mark on his back, and I said, "I'm sorry."

But he didn't let go, hot liquid slipped from my forehead, I raised my head, Jiang Huaiyuan was crying like a child.

I just watched in a daze, he rubbed my face, and I gently pushed him away.

"Thanks, I'm better" I told him.

"Xiao Zhao..." Jiang Huaiyuan called me, his eyes were red.

"Huh?" I didn't dare to look outside the car, so I had to look at his face.

Jiang Huaiyuan smiled reluctantly, "You can rely on me"

"Hmm" I closed my eyes, avoiding the dense traffic outside the window.

Song Qi just walked us to the door and watched us get off the car.

Jiang Huaiyuan took my hand and knocked on his car window: "Why don't you come up and sit down?"

Song Qi rolled down the car window and waved her hands: "You guys are together, I'm going to join in the fun, another day, there is something in the store today"

"Then when will I call Xiao Zhao's friend and have a meal together?"

Song Qi's word "good" flashed by along with a burst of dust.

Jiang Huaiyuan's house has two bedrooms and one living room with a balcony. There are several stairs between the living rooms, and the decoration is warm and bright.He hung his coat on the clothes rack, changed his shoes and went in.

I looked down and saw that the other pair of fur slippers were the same as the one he was wearing, but the model was different.

Jiang Huaiyuan looked at me, and I stared at the slippers: "Is this mine?"

He smiled: "You are the master, of course yours is ready"

Following him in, Jiang Huaiyuan opened the cabinet under the TV and took out a few rolls of wallpaper: "I have always prepared it, and I don't know which one you like. There are Damascus, resin, and diatom... no If you like it, tell me and I will buy it for you"

I looked at the rolls of wallpaper in his hand, and randomly picked a printed non-woven wallpaper: "Where is my room?"

"Let me get someone to do it." He took the wallpaper in my hand and put it aside. "You are just too sick to do this."

I turned around, looked at the big crystal lamp in the living room, and walked out of the balcony.There are several kinds of flowers growing on the balcony, but I can't tell the species.One corner has been converted into a book corner, with a set of tables and stools of the same color, and glass is used to block the wind and rain. It should be a good place for afternoon tea.

Jiang Huaiyuan hugged me from behind, I blinked subconsciously, his face was buried in my neck, silent.

He said it was my boyfriend, but I'm still not used to it.

"Let me charge the battery," his voice sounded in my ear, "I can hold you without any scruples now."

I had no choice but to freeze and let him hold me.

I could feel him slowly biting my ear, and I shuddered: "...Huaiyuan, I..."

Jiang Huaiyuan stopped and smiled: "I was in a hurry"

He pulled out a chair to sit on and pulled me over.I hesitated and pulled out a chair, but he hugged my lap: "Sit like this"

"Is there anything you want to say?" he asked me.

I looked at his thin lips and looked away: "How did we meet?"

"We've known each other since we were young," he laughed, "but our old house was demolished, and your old house is gone. Do you still remember that you came to me just after receiving the demolition fee, and said you wanted to invite me to dinner..."

He paused and did not continue.

I can probably guess that he didn't go on to talk about it because of what happened later, or because he didn't want me to be sad because he forgot.

I don't want to ask any more questions. I have the habit of taking a nap in the hospital, and I am already drowsy now.

Jiang Huaiyuan was still hugging me, and called softly: "Xiao Zhao?"

"Ok?"

"Are you afraid of traffic?"

I nodded: "I will recall bad memories on the road"

Jiang Huaiyuan was thoughtful: "Are you sleepy?"

I tried my best and shook my head: "No."

"I was also very afraid of traffic for a while," Jiang Huaiyuan put his face on my back, "I carried you into the hospital, and you were covered in blood. I was also very afraid at that time, but I was even more afraid of the attending doctor. Said you couldn't be saved..."

"Hmm..." I listened patiently, thinking of that scene again, holding my forehead, feeling like I had a splitting headache.

"Xiao Zhao," he patted me and turned me around, "have a headache?"

"Yeah, I remember that scene"

He hugged me: "Don't think about it, go to sleep first"

After getting along for more than ten days, I admit that Jiang Huaiyuan is indeed a very gentle person.

But everything around me always feels strange to me, making me want to be alienated unconsciously. Sometimes I can clearly feel his sadness from his expression, but I can't respond to him.

When I woke up, I was lying in bed, and the whole room was filled with the smell of food.I looked at the ceiling for a while, leaned on the bed to organize my thoughts, and then slowly put on my slippers and went out.

"Xiao Zhao," Jiang Huaiyuan heard the movement, turned around and greeted me, "Are you awake? I made some of your favorite dishes today, you wait first."

I watched him rushing in and out, feeling a little embarrassed to sit down and wait for the meal, walked into the kitchen and asked what he could do for help, and was kicked out by him: "You're just right, don't move around, I'm ready to take it out"

When all the food was served on the table, I glanced at it, not knowing which one to start with.

"Chestnut chicken, your favorite food." Jiang Huaiyuan picked up two pieces for me, looking at me with anticipation.

I took two bites and said, "Well done"

Jiang Huaiyuan's cooking is really good, but he said that chestnut chicken is my favorite...I don't know if it's because my taste has changed or maybe I'm not picky, but I think every dish is similar.

What I said basically means that they are all very good, there is no concept of "favorite", Jiang Huaiyuan obviously doesn't know, but he just needs to be happy.

Jiang Huaiyuan is a very dedicated person.

He was in the room looking up data and writing academic articles while I watched TV in the living room.I didn't bother him, wondering if he couldn't sit still and went out of the living room with the computer in his arms to write the report.

I looked at his pile of data: "I will disturb you if you work here?"

He smiled: "It's okay, I can feel at ease when you are in front of me"

"When do I go to school?"

He looked at me: "You really want to go to school?"

I said I just wanted to see what college was like.

Jiang Huaiyuan thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone to call someone, and said to me after hanging up: "If you want to, it doesn't matter if you go tomorrow, I will see you off tomorrow"

It seems to be contacting the school to explain my affairs.

Jiang Huaiyuan didn't keep his promise, an emergency operation came in the hospital in the middle of the night, he answered the phone and left in a hurry, when I woke up in the morning I was dazed.

Song Qi knocked on the door early in the morning, and the noise was disturbing.

When I stepped on my slippers to open the door, Song Qi was startled: "Xiao Zhao, why are you sleeping like this?"

"How did you come?"

Song Qi was a little annoyed, and said, "It's not Jiang Huaiyuan, who called me in the middle of the night and asked me to take you to school. I've never seen him so enthusiastic before... Hehe," he suddenly looked at me meaningfully and smiled, " Last night you...?"

I knew what he meant, I was tired of him like this, I didn't want to talk to him, and went in to brush my teeth.

Toothbrush cups are all matched in pairs. For a while, I couldn't tell which set was mine. After careful identification, I picked up a set of cups that didn't seem to be used very much, and carved my own mark on the bottom.

Song Qi was sitting outside humming and singing. As soon as I walked out, he handed me soy milk and a few steamed buns: "Here, I can only eat this for breakfast today."

I nod, I don't want to make breakfast anyway.

He was going to drive me. I looked at the dark car and said, "How long will it take to walk there?"

"Are you still afraid?" He closed the car door and turned the bunch of keys, "It's not very far, it just takes time to walk there."

"Let's go then"

I don't know the way, so I can only be led by Song Qi.The books in the schoolbag were sorted out last night. I am actually studying clinical medicine. A book weighs a pound. There is one class in the morning and one in the afternoon.

"Is the custard bun delicious? I bought it specially for you." Song Qi seemed a little proud.

I looked at the bite I just took, and the rich custard seemed to flow out: "Well, it's okay, don't buy it next time... I will buy it myself"

Should I tell him that I don't really like custard bread?
