Waiting For The Wind Warming Up To Kiss You - Chapter 26
Recently, nurses in the hospital like to go to Ward 401 for rounds. Zhang Qiu is one of them. Every time he goes there, he turns around in front of the mirror to make himself better.
“Oh, I’m going to 401 to see the handsome guy again.” When a person passed by, seeing Zhang Qiu stinking again, couldn’t help but jokingly said.
Speaking of the patient of 401, the female nurses have more or less impressions.
The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and they are dressed in hospital gowns, like black and white old exquisite meticulous paintings, with just the right shade. Usually the contact seems to be very gentle, but there are not many words.
“I’ve asked someone about that policeman. It’s Xu Xingchun, right? He’s a squadron captain at a young age, and he has no bad habits. I have a cousin who belongs to their detachment and said he doesn’t have a girlfriend yet. He doesn’t do much at work. There was a mistake. Many leaders in their bureau appreciated him. Anyway, he is a potential stock with a boundless future.” Nurse A had a bright eye and chatted with Zhang Qiu at lunch.
Zhang Qiu was calm and composed, listening to Nurse A’s gossip and eating smoothly. She couldn’t deny that she was really interested in Xu Xingchun.
One aspect is that the family has been urging marriage recently, forcing her to go on blind date with some greasy middle-aged men.
Zhang Qiu is very beautiful, a little arrogant, but he has been in control since he was a child. Her own conditions are good, she is also an iron job like a nurse, and many people pursue her. Although the blind date men are rich, they always feel that they lack style. She doesn’t like it anyway.
“That’s right, there’s one more.” Nurse A said mysteriously, “His parents seem to be gone, looking cold and warm, it must be a painful temper. Although the nature of the job is a bit dangerous, but It’s still a car and a house, so you will be blessed when you marry.”
Zhang Qiu was taken aback and thought about it carefully. It seems that apart from an aunt who often comes to deliver meals, there are really no relatives who have visited Xu Xingchun.
However, she didn’t show it on the surface, and she was a little reserved and yelled at Nurse A, “What are you talking nonsense? What’s the matter with this.”
“Don’t pretend, you’re like living in the spring for a few days. I don’t know you are interested in others? Last time I went to change the bandage for Xu Sir, alas, that beautiful body, eight-pack abs. This thief is sexy, I want to reach out and touch it. It’s a pity that I have a boyfriend, otherwise I need a contact information or something.”
Zhang Qiu blushed and made a gesture to hit her, “Are you insecure?”
Nurse A smiled knowingly, “Oh oh oh, it’s alright, no joke.”
At the lunch break, Zhang Qiu was still thinking about Xu Xingchun.
She felt that his family was not happy, and he would definitely lack love. If she took advantage of the vacancy during this period of time, she would send more warmth and let him experience the feeling of being cared by others, maybe it would have a multiplier effect with half the effort. Although Xu Xingchun is relatively indifferent now, it at least shows that he is handsome, but he is not a person who likes to hook up with women.
Round the room in the afternoon.
The old lady in the shop next door passed away a few days ago and has moved out, leaving only Xu Xingchun in the ward.
He was calm and calm, sitting leaning on the head of the bed. Because of the injury of his right shoulder, only one hand can move freely, and he is full of documents and a computer in front of him.
Zhang Qiu glanced across Xu Xingchun’s face and noticed his hand holding a pen.
There are no overly protruding knuckles, and they are trimmed neatly and slender smoothly. It looks very pleasing to the eye.
A man, when he already has a handsome skin, especially when he looks attentively, is really attractive.
She coughed unnaturally, put her hand in her jacket pocket, aroused his attention, “Officer Xu?”
Xu Xingchun raised his head upon hearing the sound.
Zhang Qiu tilted his head mischievously, playfully, with a little smile, “With such a strong business ability, he started to work hard without recovering his body?”
Xu Xingchun nodded slightly as a response.
To flirt a man is to have a degree of relaxation, not too enthusiastic, but not too cold. It’s okay to go over a little bit, and if there is no ambiguity, it is the most suitable.
Zhang Qiu went over and helped him to support the crooked pillow, with just the right amount of shyness in his voice, “Normally, don’t discuss cases with your colleagues who come to the hospital. The doctors have said that you want you to talk less, it’s best. Don’t talk. I haven’t recovered yet, so take a break.”
“Don’t blame me for being long-winded, after all, the body is the most important thing.”
She lowered her head and smiled shyly, naturally missing the tiredness and coldness in Xu Xingchun’s eyes.
The small white calla lily at the head of the bed has no fragrance. Zhang Qiu noticed that he reached out to touch it, but was blocked by a hand.
She was taken aback, and heard Xu Xingchun’s emotionless words, “——Don’t touch them.”
“That…” Zhang Qiu explained with a slightly wronged and innocent expression, “I think it has dried up, do you want to pour some water, or throw it away?”
She felt that in Xu Xingchun’s tone just now, there seemed to be very complicated emotions hidden. I am trying my best to control what I endure.
“No, thank you.” Before he had time to think about it, he nodded at her, his voice was vaguely alienated, and returned to the usual way, “I have to deal with something now.”
The implication is to tell her not to stay here?
One sentence blocked Zhang Qiu and left what he wanted to say. She left the ward somewhat depressed, and around the corner, she ran into the aunt who delivered meals all day long. The two greeted them symbolically, and Zhang Qiu left in no mood.
Aunt Qi carried two thermos barrels and pushed in, “Xiao Xu, why are you still busy?!”
Xu Xingchun was taken aback, put down his pen, “Aunt Qi.”
“I made chicken soup for you today. It’s very fragrant. You’re hungry.” Aunt Qi didn’t ask. She picked up all the messy documents on the table and put them aside, and replaced them with two insulated buckets. “Eat first, quickly. Hurry up.”
Aunt Qi sat by and watched Xu Xingchun eat. She was with him and didn’t talk to each other. “The doctor said, how long will you be discharged from the hospital?”
“Half a month.”
Aunt Qi smiled, “That’s pretty fast.”
Xu Xingchun lowered his head, “Excuse me, this time.”
“What’s the trouble?! You can be considered as I grew up when I was young. You don’t know. I received a call from Lili before. She asked me to come to Shencheng to take care of you for a period of time, saying that I was seriously injured and hospitalized. Distressed.”
Xu Xingchun paused.
Aunt Qi is the nanny of Fu Xueli’s family. She has been working for many years. She has deep affection for Fu’s family, and she is half an elder. In recent years, due to the fact that Fu Chenglin and Fu Xueli have gone home very rarely because of having a family and starting a business and busy with work, Aunt Qi is also considered semi-retired.
Aunt Qi watched Xu Xingchun finish the last bit of soup. She smiled and recalled, “I remember that you liked Aunt Qi’s craftsmanship. In the past in junior high and high school, you used to come to home to make up lessons for Lili. Several people were picky eaters. Eat the cleanest. For so many years, my sword is not old, right?”
Xu Xingchun smiled when he heard the words, “Well, it’s still delicious.”
“You kid, you have always been very sensible, so it’s especially painful. If you are like this, don’t toss yourself and don’t think about work all day.” Aunt Qi cleared the table and suddenly asked, “By the way, you and How is Lili? I asked her, she didn’t tell me, just let me leave it alone.”
Xu Xingchun returned to her usual taciturn.
Seeing his depressed state, Aunt Qi is not good at asking questions anymore, muttering to herself, “You are also very strange, Lili calls me every day to ask about your situation, and I want her to ask you in person, but she refuses. I don’t know what awkwardness is making again.”
Xu Xingchun stared at the bunch of calla lilies that were about to wither.
Aunt Qi was worried, “Well, Lili has been like this since she was a child. She has a stubborn temper. She has been like a child for so many years, and her mind is immature. If you have any contradictions, you should have a good temper and take care of her.”
Xu Xingchun seemed to be in a trance, nodded for a while, and said softly, “Okay.”
The sultry weather in Shanghai has lasted for a long time recently, and finally it rained a few days ago. It fell silently, like a huge net, taking down the entire city.
It is always dull in summer without rain and wind.
Fu Xueli asks the director and screenwriter to let her finish quickly, on the grounds that there is a schedule conflict next month. So hurriedly, she finished filming of her costume drama in less than a month.
Xiangshan’s film and television city is only about an hour away from Shanghai by plane. Fu Xueli occasionally takes the early morning flight between shooting and sneaks back to see Xu Xingchun.
Because she was worried about Xu Xingchun, she was also uneasy when she was filming.
Don’t dare to look at the phone, afraid of receiving any news, and afraid of not looking at the phone, afraid of missing any news.
But I don’t know why, every time I really arrive at a place only a few meters away from Xu Xingchun, Fu Xueli looks at the crack of the door for a long time, but dare not go in.
Every time I wanted to go in, I remembered the cruel and sad words I had said to Xu Xingchun before, and now I always take the initiative to look for him, always seeming to be a bit contradictory and deliberately seeking peace.
not too good.
When she was young before, Fu Xueli really didn’t like Xu Xingchun to take care of her too much. Sometimes she was annoyed and started a unilateral cold war every other time.
If you take the initiative to seek reconciliation, it is very shameless.
But the mood is different now and before.
It’s not a matter of losing face, but deep down in Fu Xueli’s heart, there are always vague hesitations, swings and worries.
She may know what Xu Xingchun wants, but she is not sure if she can give it.
Maybe it can.
Maybe not.
If you can’t…the damage she caused to him may be even greater.
So always warn yourself secretly, it’s best not to take the initiative to approach him.
However, Fu Xueli often fell into a state of contradiction and self-doubt. She thinks…she might still like Xu Xingchun…
If you give him to other women, think about it, you will feel a little unwilling.
But no matter what, it’s too weird to always run to spy on other people’s behavior.
Xiao Wang seized the time to report to Xu Xingchun’s recent work. He poured warm water into the cup and poured tea to Xu Xingchun, “Team Xu, your recovery is pretty good.”
“Um.”
Xiao Wang put the cup on the table and waited for Xu Xingchun to take it by himself. He knew that Xu Xingchun didn’t like to have physical contact with people.
“Team Liu also told me a few days ago that when you are discharged from the hospital, it is not convenient to be alone at home, or should you go to his house? Anyway, Team Liu also has a room vacant at home, and his sister-in-law can usually take care of you. Team Liu also specifically asked me to ask you not to be embarrassed. It happened that Team Liu’s son was in junior high school and his grades had always been mediocre. I thought Team Xu, with such a high degree, must be a high-minded person. You can give Liu Xiaopang counseling by the way. Homework or something.”
The houses of Liu Jingbo and Xu Xingchun are very close, and they are both in the welfare house previously assigned by the police. There are many leaders of the older generation in the community, and the security is better.
Xu Xingchun listened, rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes, “No need.”
Xiao Wang persuaded, “I know Team Xu, you don’t like to bother others, but it’s really not convenient for you alone? We can’t just hire a caregiver for this kind of job, let’s say, plus you It’s a bit of a little cleanliness…”
After talking for a long time, Xu Xingchun didn’t react much, and Xiao Wang didn’t continue to make himself boring. Seeing that it was getting late, he suddenly remembered something, “Hey, Team Xu, I have something, I don’t know if I can ask you.”
“what.”
Xiao Wang scratched his head, “That’s right, a new guy from the unit recently came, and I’m quite strong. He is very obsessed with Fu Xueli. He knows that you two have a good relationship, so please ask me to ask you for an autograph or something.”
There was no sound in the room.
Seeing Xu Xingchun’s expression, Xiao Wang cautiously found himself a step down, “…Speaking of which, Team Xu can be regarded as the savior of Xueli. A signature is not too much, right?”
“…”
“—Not too much.”
Xiao Wang paused and turned his head abruptly.
Xu Xingchun opened his eyes, turned his head slowly, and looked at the source of the sound.
Fu Xueli is dressed in black again today, with black jeans, a denim jacket, and a black cap. She was carrying a familiar thermos barrel in her hand, without makeup on her face.
After signing the name, Xiao Wang was sent away, and the room quickly became quiet.
Xu Xingchun withdrew his gaze.
She took off her hat and draped her hair over her shoulders. He bowed his head and opened the thermos. Obviously he was not very proficient. It took a few tries to succeed.
Inside is steaming black sesame glutinous rice porridge, and steamed buns made of jujube, which is fragrant and soft.
As the food steamed, Fu Xueli looked at Xu Xingchun.
His face seemed to be thinner, with sharp edges and corners. The heartbeat speeds up unconsciously, “How are you recently.”
Xu Xingchun nodded.
“Aunt Qi has something to do today, I’ll bring it here for her.” Fu Xueli pretended to be natural and arranged the dishes for him.
Before coming, Fu Xueli had done many psychological constructions.
After Xu Xingchun experienced a death, many things should be clear. He has waited and endured for so long, and he is probably tired.
Fu Xueli thought this way, because she felt that Xu Xingchun’s emotions towards her were no longer so strong that it was suffocating.
Not very cold, not gentle.
She couldn’t tell what it was like. It’s like occasionally smelling a fading fragrance inadvertently, but I want to experience it carefully, but I feel that I can’t smell it.
Fu Chenglin said before that many things are like fighting the landlord, if you can’t afford it, you will pass.
Maybe Xu Xingchun really can’t afford her, so he plans to pass it.
He injured his right shoulder and could only hold a spoon with his left hand. His movements were slow and it felt very inconvenient.
Fu Xueli endured a bit, and said flatly, “May I feed you?”
“…”
Under his gaze, she bit her scalp, holding the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, blowing carefully, and then carefully handed it to his lips.
Xu Xingchun lowered his eyes and paused for about two or three seconds before opening his mouth obediently and swallowing.
Two people, one feeds and one eats. There is a rare warmth and harmony.
Rarely, Fu Xueli relaxed a lot, and finally joked with Xu Xingchun. She said as much as before, and Xu Xingchun had been listening patiently.
“Xu Xingchun, I feel like you are getting whiter and whiter. The face of a dead person is about to grow into a mushroom. You should go basking in the sun more.”
Xu Xingchun gave a hum.
He was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, which was lined with clothes, making him paler. The eyelids are a little inward, and the eyelashes are pitch black and straight, not at all warped.
Thinking of his inconvenience, like a disability, Fu Xueli blurted out without thinking, “Then what should you do if you leave the hospital?”
“…”
As soon as the words were spoken, both of them were silent.
After a long while, I don’t know where my brain is, Fu Xueli said next. She really felt that she needed a strong psychological quality, and she also needed a face that was thicker than turning a wall.
She asked, “Should I move to your house?”
Xu Xingchun sullen his face, his eyes moved to her face.
Fu Xueli bit her lip, “I can pay your rent.”
