Chapter 9 Chapter 9

Six minutes left before calling hubby...

Liang Zhixia felt even more dizzy, her breath was hot, her head was heavy, her slender fingers were tightly gripping the edge of the chair, her eyelids were so heavy that she could hardly open her eyes.

Suddenly, he heard Xu Cheng's voice.

It was as if there was a film covering his ears, and he couldn't hear it clearly, but a little blurry.

Until someone touched him.

"Young man, is that person calling you?"

He raised his red face from the fever, his light brown eyes were watery, and he looked to the other side without knowing why.

He tilted his head and whispered softly: "Senior?"

Xu Cheng fucked: "Are you confused because of the fever?"

He hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, and Lu Quan frowned: "I'll go."

There were many puddles near the bus stop. He frowned all the way and walked in front of Liang Zhixia. Before he could say anything, the other person's head leaned on him.

He stretched out a finger and pushed the other person's head away.

"Liang Zhixia, get in the car."

The boy who had always been afraid of him opened his big watery eyes and glared at him aggrievedly: "I'm sick, and you're still mean to me!"

Lu Quan: "I'm not mean to you."

Liang Zhixia: "You frowned!"

Lu Quan: "..."

After refusing to do anything, he grabbed the other person's collar, strode to the side of the car, opened the back door, and threw him in.

During this time, he was punched and kicked by the other person. He looked down at the unsightly stains on his clothes, his forehead jumped suddenly, and the temperature in the car dropped by one degree.

Xu Cheng didn't dare to turn around to look at the eldest young master's face. He didn't know why the eldest young master insisted on picking up his junior in person.

He coughed twice and pretended to say: "Please fasten your seat belts, passengers in the back, we are leaving."

Although Liang Zhixia felt dizzy, she still fastened her seat belt obediently.

His crooked body was fixed on the seat. He looked up at the front, his nose was red, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Thank you, Senior."

Lu Quan knew that the other party was not thanking him, because when calling him, he would add his last name.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't get the other party's "Thank you, Senior Lu".

Lu Quan suddenly felt stuffy in the car, raised his head slightly, touched the tip of his tongue to his palate, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Different treatment?

There were not many cars on the road on a rainy day, and Xu Cheng drove at the fastest speed to reach the hospital.

Liang Zhixia's consciousness was a little clearer, huddled in a corner, lowered his head and unbuckled his seat belt.

Xu Cheng got out of the car before the young master spoke, opened the back door, and helped the boy get out of the car.

"Can you do it by yourself?"

Just now in the car, Liang Zhixia heard the two people chatting, they had something to do.

He raised his lips and said, "Yes, I can walk in a straight line now."

Xu Cheng didn't notice anything wrong. He looked at the time and grinned, "Then we'll leave first, you can take a taxi when you go back, the bus is too crowded."

He pursed his lips tightly, lowered his eyes, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, and his voice was still a little hoarse when he spoke.

"Thank you, Senior and Senior Lu. Bye."

Lu Quan looked at him and said, "I'll return your band-aid."

Liang Zhixia stood at the entrance of the hospital, holding a cute band-aid in his hand, holding an umbrella and watching the car drive away.

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was very strong. He registered and reported in skillfully. The doctor asked him about it and took his temperature. It was almost 39°.

"The temperature is too high and you need an IV. The wound on your arm is a little inflamed. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later."

When he went to the infusion room for an IV, the nurse saw that he was alone and asked, "Is there no one to accompany you?"

The light in Liang Zhixia's eyes dimmed slightly, and the corners of his eyes curved slightly: "I'm an adult now, I can be alone."

The nurse hung up the medicine bottle, adjusted the flow rate, and smiled and said, "When this bottle of IV is finished, call me to change a new bottle for you."

He nodded obediently: "Okay."

When the nurse left, she looked back and saw the boy curled up in a chair, thin, with his eyes drooping, and there was no smile on his face.

She sighed, found a hot water bottle from the nurse station, filled it with hot water and sent it over.

Liang Zhixia took the hot water bottle awkwardly, her eyes slightly red, and whispered: "Thank you, sister."

It didn't seem so bad to come to the hospital alone on a rainy day to get an IV drip.

The hand with the needle slowly warmed up, and he took a photo and posted it to his WeChat Moments on his second account.

[Lzx: Happy^-^]

Xu Cheng, who had just arrived at the airport, raised his eyebrows and showed his phone to Lu Quan: "It seems that my junior has someone to accompany him." Lu

Quan took a look and looked away without interest. What did it matter to him whether the other party had someone to accompany him.

Xu Cheng put away his phone, looked up and saw his good brother, waved his hand, and shouted excitedly: "Qu Yizhou! Over here!"

Lu Quan quietly moved away from him.

The man who came out of the airport was thin, pushing a black suitcase, with a refreshing smile on his face.

"Long time no see."

Xu Cheng rushed over and put his arm around his shoulders: "We haven't seen each other for only half a year. How come

you are so unfamiliar with me?" "Don't put pressure on me, it's too heavy." Qu Yizhou was helpless, and turned to look at Lu Quan again, curved his lips and said, "Brother Lu."

Lu Quan nodded at him, and several people got in the car. Lu Quan frowned and sat on the side of the back seat without water stains.

Xu Cheng whispered to Qu Yizhou: "He has been crazy recently."

Qu Yizhou understood, closed his mouth quietly, and did not say a word all the way.

At the same time, Liang Zhixia had just changed the second bottle of IV, his body temperature dropped a little, and his head was not so dizzy. He went to Weibo and browsed around, and replied to several private messages about manuscripts.

It was very boring to be alone, so he moved his fingers slightly and switched to WeChat.

On the small account, two of the only three friends were asking about his condition.

He replied one by one: "I'm fine, the fever has subsided."

Then he switched to the main account and found that L had sent him several messages.

The time was in the morning. He was in a daze at that time, his consciousness was confused, and he had no energy to reply to the other party.

Pale fingertips slid across the screen, and messages came into view.

[L]: What are you doing? I'm handling business at the company now, and will go to the airport to pick up a friend later.

[L]: I will attend a friend's welcoming banquet in the evening. There won't be many people at the banquet, and they are all familiar friends. I will introduce them to you later.

[L]: Please reply to my message when you see it.

He curled his lips, wondering if this friend is a serious friend.

After all, L's business also includes offline.

He typed lazily.

[Zhizhi]: I have read it.

The next second, the other party replied.

[L]: Just woke up?

Liang Zhixia didn't want L to know that he was alone in the hospital receiving an IV drip.

[Zhizhi]: No! I went out to play!

[L]: Alone?

Lies should be covered up with one lie after another. He touched the hot water bottle that was no longer too hot and typed with his fingertips.

[Zhizhi]: With a friend.

[L]: Boy?

[Zhizhi]: Yes, we went to the amusement park together, ate fried chicken and ice cream, and bought a lot of peripheral dolls.

There were a lot of people in the amusement park, and we also bought balloons, rode the roller coaster and the big pendulum, and had a lot of fun...

He lowered his head, paused, and deleted the long string of words he had just typed.

No one accompanied him to the amusement park.

He had never been to the amusement park.

He only remembered that his parents said that day that they would take him to the amusement park on the weekend, but the next day they asked him whether he would go with his father or mother.

In the end, he didn't go with anyone and ran to the countryside to live with his grandparents.

For so many years, his parents didn't remember him at all, and would never take him to the amusement park.

He pressed the message above to withdraw it, but the time had passed.

The words in the chat box hurt his eyes. He turned off the phone in a panic, his long eyelashes fluttering, until he felt the stinging on the back of his hand, and then he realized that the blood was flowing back.

He leaned on a very hard chair, listening to the sound of rain hitting the window, and... the mother next to him was coaxing her child with a fever.

"Baby, be good, mom is here."

No one coaxed him.

It doesn't matter, he can coax himself.

There was a traffic jam on the road on a rainy day, and when Qu Yizhou and Xu Cheng arrived, they were already late.

He threw the key to the waiter at the door and put his arm around Qu Yizhou's shoulders: "They all miss you very much."

When he walked to the door of the box, Lu Quan said lightly: "You go in first, I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as they entered, they were laughed at by their friends who had been waiting in the box for a long time and fined three glasses of wine.

Qu Yizhou didn't drink much, but Xu Cheng drank six glasses directly.

Suddenly, the noise in the box seemed to have been paused. Everyone sat in a well-behaved manner, and only the colorful lights rotated silently.

Lu Quan glanced at them and said casually: "Why don't you continue?"

A yellow-haired man blushed and said: "Brother Lu, we are just joking, we will definitely be quiet."

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, he walked to the table and held up a glass of wine with his slender jade-like fingers.

He swallowed the cold and spicy wine down his throat, tilted his head, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled heavily in the blurred light.

Three empty wine glasses were placed on the table one by one, and he looked up and said: "Three glasses as a punishment."

The box became even quieter, and they even slowed down their breathing and did not even dare to look up.

Xu Cheng winked at Qu Yizhou, who was standing next to Lu Quan, a very safe distance away, and said worriedly: "Brother Lu, the doctor said you can't drink."

Lu Quan raised his head, his eyes deep, and sat in the corner of the box by himself.

Xu Cheng organized the others to continue playing. When everyone saw that Lu Quan didn't say anything, the atmosphere in the box became lively again.

A glass of warm water appeared in front of them. Lu Quan's voice was slightly hoarse: "It's okay to drink a little wine, you guys go and have fun."

Xu Cheng and Qu Yizhou knew that he liked to be alone and quiet, so they didn't bother him anymore.

Qu Yizhou whispered: "Is Brother Lu really in an online relationship?"

Xu Cheng said mysteriously: "Nine out of ten, he was probably dumped."

His stomach was burning. Lu Quan looked around the entire box expressionlessly, playing with his phone with his bony fingers.

Alcohol eroded his brain, and the messages he received in the afternoon kept appearing in his mind.

What is Zhizhi doing now?

Is he still dating that person?

Holding hands? Hugging? Kissing?

It's really jealous.

Suddenly, in the dim light, the phone screen lit up.

[Zhizhi]: Baby, are you playing with friends now? Is anyone trying to talk to you?

His eyes were deep, and his slender fingers pressed the voice button.

His voice was soaked in alcohol, with a little hoarseness and lowness.

Ambiguous and charming.

"Call me husband."
