Chapter 3 Seven Days

The next day, Ye Wantang appeared in front of the hospital bed. Pei Yuchi was lying on his back on the hospital bed, his face pale, his eyes slightly closed, and his eyelashes trembling slightly. His body was much thinner, his face was bloodless, and the lines on his face were a little deeper. After not seeing each other for half a year, what on earth did he go through...

There was only the faint noise from the instruments in the ward, and the intravenous infusion tube was connected to the back of his hand, trembling slightly with the flow of blood. His breathing was extremely calm, and the rise and fall of his chest was almost invisible, like a fish about to be stranded, lying quietly on the hospital bed.

There was a rush of footsteps approaching from far away. Pei Yuchi opened his eyes slightly, focusing his sight little by little, and Ye Wantang's face gradually came into view clearly. Her anxious expression felt familiar to him, and his heart throbbed.

"You're here." Pei Yuchi sighed softly, lowered his eyes slightly, and raised his head after a long time. His tone was calm and choked, "It's not worth your special time for such a little accident." Come and see me..."

Worry flashed in Ye Wantang's eyes, and she said angrily: "That's why you don't plan to tell me if it's so serious..." She felt even more distressed in her questioning, but for a moment she was speechless. Ye Wantang looked directly into his eyes and held the bed frame tightly with his fingers.

Pei Yuchi pursed his lips, his face calm. After a long while, he coughed lightly to make his tone sound calm enough: "It's just stomach bleeding, they just like to make a fuss..."

Ye Wantang raised his head, with tears in his eyes.

He saw tears in her eyes, but he pretended not to notice.

Ye Wantang knew, he saw it, he saw the forbearance in her eyes, and saw how hard she restrained herself from breaking down in the next second.

She knew that his heart was also broken. He chose silence, chose not to mention it, and stared quietly until she turned her face and softly called "Pei Yuchi!"

At that moment, all the heartache and The tears turned into silence, and the past between them was silently rehearsed in the moment when each other's eyes met...

With her body so weak at the moment, even after half a year of separation, she still couldn't refuse her tears. , unable to remain indifferent to her sadness. He felt very sad. He had tried so hard to forget her, but as soon as she appeared, he was still the fool who would be soft-hearted for her...

He lowered his eyes for a moment, "You... you have passed. Are you okay?" Pei Yuchi asked, struggling to raise his eyes to meet her gaze, his voice a little hoarse. < /p>

Pei Yuchi turned away, not daring to look at her again. He knew that what she said was right, but he couldn't make himself obey... He no longer deserved this affectionate concern. .

He sniffed and pretended to be relaxed, "I'm fine, the doctor saidI have a good foundation. "But the next second after saying this, he coughed suddenly.

Ye Wantang was startled, and hurried over to help him sit down, handed him a glass of water, and gently stroked his back to help him. Gas. The cough subsided and she held his hand. For a brief moment, time seemed to have stopped.

Pei Yuchi slowly took his hand away and leaned against the pillow, his face expressionless. His eyes were red and dark, but he still managed a slightly helpless smile. If it weren't for his poor health, he would still be the man who made people's hearts flutter.

She helped him tidy up the quilt. While saying casually, "The company recently asked me to go to Europe. When you are discharged from the hospital, I may have to leave." "As if he could make a decision without consent.

Pei Yuchi said calmly: "I don't need anyone to take care of me here, you just go..."

"This paragraph of mine I have been in Shanghai dealing with business, and I also want to come back to rest and recuperate. As soon as I heard something happened to you this time, I hurried back and took a rest. Don't worry... Lao Xiao is watching over at work. Just think that I'm here to chat with you, unless... it's really inconvenient for you? "

Ye Wantang spoke in a relaxed tone, but he tried every means to test Pei Yuchi's reaction. She knew that with Pei Yuchi's temperament, she would definitely feel that she had gone through so much trouble to get from Shanghai. Rushing back would delay work.

Ye Wantang watched Pei Yuchi as she spoke, fearing that he would drive her away. She thought up a hundred reasons in her mind to convince him. Take care of her here.

Her feelings for him have never changed.

“Inconvenient! "Pei Yuchi answered without hesitation.

Ye Wantang quickly pulled up a chair and sat down leisurely: "You want me to go all the way in vain? There was a smile on her lips, "Okay, if you want me to leave, unless you throw me out personally...otherwise I won't leave until you get better!" "

Now that he is covered with tubes, how can he persuade her to leave? He knew that he could not defeat her, so he looked at her coldly and said: "Since I can't convince you... then I have nothing to do here. Inconvenient. "

Ye Wantang walked to his bed and laid out the food and medicine: "Take the medicine first. "

There was a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, and she concentrated on checking his medication status. Ye Wantang gently touched his forehead, brushed away a few strands of hair for him, and tucked the corners of his quilt. He stretched out his pillow.

Pei Yuchi took the opportunity to turn over. He couldn't help but close his eyes. The pain in his chest made him almost breathless. He felt as if his heart was being tightened, letting the warmth spread on his skin. He couldn't tell whether the pain came from the physical body, or whether it was infinitely amplified by the turbulent emotions in his heart. The conflicting emotions almost tore him apart. ...

At this time, he felt an unprecedented exhaustion overwhelm him, and the physical discomfort turned into the deepest sorrow in his heart. Perhaps he had the most secret feeling for her.Miss you.

Pei Yuchi lay there sickly, his eyes blurred, but still fixed on Ye Wantang. He knew that he might not be able to survive this illness, but she appeared and used her gentleness and pride to pull him back from the edge of despair at the most difficult moment in his life.

Ye Wantang put the pills and water to his mouth. After Pei Yuchi took it, he tilted his head slightly and sighed uncontrollably.

Ye Wantang noticed something strange about him and asked softly: "What's wrong? What's wrong with your body?"

Pei Yuchi shook his head, his obscure eyes fixed on After a long time on her, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you!"

Ye Wantang was startled, and the movements of his hands were unconsciously stagnant. After being separated for half a year, in her world , there has never been a break between them. At this time, this thank you, in addition to being familiar, also revealed a trace of alienation and strangeness.

Ye Wantang took a breath to make his voice sound calm enough:

"I don't want you to thank me, just give me a good one!"

He could hear her trembling. He didn't want to trigger each other's vulnerability and sensitivity anymore. He chose silence and let time flow quietly at this moment.

On this day, he made it clear to the program team that he refused any visits and would take a good rest. Until late at night, Ye Wantang left quietly, and the room was lonely again.

On the third day after being admitted to the hospital, some friends and colleagues who could not refuse came to the hospital one after another. Although they were just short greetings, Pei Yuchi still felt very tired.

…

Shia could hardly believe what happened that day. How could Pei Yuchi endure such severe discomfort that day and insist on recording the entire program with her, but she herself was like a fool, completely immersed in excitement and confidence, ignoring all kinds of details and omens.

She vaguely remembered the loneliness she felt when he asked her to leave after the recording. At that time, he must have been very unwell, but he was unwilling to let her stay to help. He treated her as an insignificant little girl throughout the whole process and put her away politely.

His forbearance and restraint were completely different from those of the ordinary men around her. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she had admiration for this man, and even a hint of girlish admiration for him.

After that, the urge to visit him kept surging in her heart. Maybe in his memory, she no longer exists, and she herself is very conflicted about this. She found out Pei Yuchi's ward number from the program team, and also received a clear reminder to refuse the visit, but she still couldn't hold back, even if she just took a look at it from a distance.

Xia gently pushed open the door of the ward, and what she saw was Pei Yuchi's very haggard look.

He was half leaning on the bed, looking pale and tired. Such a weak and fragile look, in stark contrast to the man she thought could control everything at first glance. Her heart couldn't help but twitch, and the love and pity she never thought she would be moved by for this man quietly sprouted at this moment. It made her feel anxious and uncomfortable at the same time.

At this moment, Pei Yuchi raised his head to see her and smiled lightly: "Thank you for coming to visit me." His tone was polite and unfamiliar, as if he was not interested in her concern.

Shia was a little embarrassed by his words, but she still stepped forward quickly: "Teacher Pei, I am really frightened by you!" There was a trace of panic in her eyes, and her tone was a bit... I blame myself very much, "I feel very guilty that I ignored your physical discomfort that day and only immersed myself in the satisfaction of recording the program. Knowing that you were so sick, I would never..."

The words have not yet finished. , Pei Yuchi's weak but firm voice interrupted her: "Xia, don't blame yourself."

Although Pei Yuchi's face was as pale as paper, he squeezed out a gentle smile, There was kindness in his eyes. "I'm really looking forward to the broadcast of that program, and I'm glad that I could keep recording it to the end. You don't need to think like this, not to mention...I'm much better now..." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't suppress a short cry. moan. That moan was full of pain, making Shia's heart sink. I saw that his face became paler and his brows were wrinkled, as if he was enduring something.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open. A woman walked in and was a little surprised to see Shia here. She nodded politely to Shia, with a bit of doubt in her expression. Then she walked quickly to Pei Yuchi and asked softly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" She leaned down, caressed Pei Yuchi's forehead with one hand, held his hand with the other, and stared at him. Painful eyebrows, eyes full of distress and anxiety.

Pei Yuchi raised his head and looked at her, the tiredness in his eyes seemed to become particularly clear at this moment. He seemed to be more familiar with and more dependent on this woman's care. He shook his head gently, calmed down, and replied slowly: "I'm fine."

Shia stood quietly beside the hospital bed, her eyes falling on the two people. She gently pulled the quilt for Pei Yuchi, her tone was full of concern, Pei Yuchi's eyes were also gentle, and the words between the two were full of love.

Her movements are as light as flowing silk, moist and translucent, like dots of ink. Her technique is exquisite, like the undertones, leaving no trace, and like a quietly blooming begonia, bright but not ostentatious, fresh and yet fresh. charming.

The movements of this woman are filled with the unique softness and gentleness of Jiangnan women, without losing her aura and stability. Her jade-like eyes are bright and deep, revealing smart intelligence. She looks weak, but is tough in her bones. She looks beautiful and delicate. At a glance, she can tell that she is an intellectual woman who is cultivated and elegant.

Such an eye-catching beauty appeared in Pei Yuchi's ward, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quite close. Xia couldn't help but look at Pei Yuchi, and there was a trace of doubt in her heart. There seemed to be something hidden between this woman and Pei Yuchi.Untold story?

What surprised Shi Ya even more was that Pei Yuchi didn't seem to care about this lady as much as he was alienated from her. He would nod to Ye Wantang, and also shake his head sincerely and respond...

She subconsciously glanced out the window, but the bright sunshine outside the window could not dispel the gradually rising haze in her heart...

This difference seemed to touch Shia's heart invisibly. She could not explain the emotions that were surging in her now, including doubts, wariness, and a strange jealousy. These feelings seemed to make her feel a little at a loss.

At this time, the woman responded gently: "Then you guys chat, call me if you need anything."

At the same time, she turned to Xia and smiled gently: "Thank you for coming to visit Xiao Pei. But He's still very weak now, so it's better not to chat for too long."

Her voice sounded as graceful as a clear spring, with the unique laziness of Jiangnan. When she spoke, her eyes were full of smiles, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were still warm and peaceful, and her movements were friendly and natural. It seemed that she only wanted to appease the patient and not create unnecessary entanglements.

Shia caught the message in her words. She called him "Xiao Pei", which was not like a title between lovers. She was signaling her to leave.

Sia responded to her polite smile in the same way: "Okay, I'm relieved to see everything is fine, so I won't bother you."

Sia stood up and prepared to leave. , but couldn't help but look at Pei Yuchi again.

I saw him trying hard to ignore her burning gaze and the emotions in his heart. He gave a weak smile at the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a hoarse word from his throat: "Take care!" My heart couldn't help but twitch again, and a feeling of loss arose spontaneously.

His behavior seemed to make her feel vaguely disappointed, and she couldn't even explain why. She didn't know whether such an unusual concern was too abrupt. She couldn't explain why she had such thoughts, but seeing that he was out of danger, nothing else mattered... She told herself this.

...

During the seven days of hospitalization, Ye Wantang could not be said to be undressed, but it was no different.

She came to the hospital early every day, and read all of Pei Yuchi's medical records and examination reports as soon as she arrived in the ward, for fear that the doctors or nurses would be negligent. Then she would carefully inquire about Pei Yuchi's condition and feelings, and feel relieved after learning that everything was normal.

Next is a whole day of accompanying and working. She will sort out official affairs and manuscripts beside Pei Yuchi, while properly arranging his rest and meals. Sometimes, Pei Yuchi would feel irritable due to being in bed for a long time. At this time, Ye Wantang would suggest walking with him out of the ward and going to the yard to breathe fresh air.

They were on the path in the yard, occasionally stopping to admire the blooming flowers. The breeze blows and the sun shines. Pei Yuchi felt restless in his heartGradually calmed down.

Every evening, she will prepare some warm porridge, batter or side dishes to deliver to the ward, because she knows that what patients miss most is the food and clothing at home. Sometimes she would have dinner with Pei Yuchi in the ward, and then watch TV or chat with him until he fell asleep.

During these seven days, Ye Wantang's entire life revolved around his hospital bed, and Pei Yuchi actually spent seven days happily with her day and night after they broke up half a year ago...
