Chapter 59 - It's just a girlfriend

Xie Qingcheng has returned to the hostel.

 

As soon as he entered the room he couldn't, using the last of his strength he rushed to the shower, crouched over the sink and threw up all at once.

 

With all the strong wine, and the medicine, he had endured for so long, maintaining his usual strength in front of everyone, even in front of He Yu, who did not even bend an inch, not even an inch, he was always straight, like a javelin.

 

He did this so that he would not lose his body at He Yu and then lose the others. It was only when he was left alone that Xie Qingcheng finally went limp and vomited violently, so violently that even the bitter bile seemed to be vomited out.

 

No.

 

He can't hold out ......

 

He has to go on medication, then ......

 

Xie Qingcheng rinsed his face under the clattering taps, saying to himself over and over again, but his consciousness was turning away from him unforgivingly, despite his pleas.

 

Eventually, Xie Qingcheng collapsed in front of the sink with a weak step.

 

Before he passed out, he saw in a trance that the door of his dormitory had been opened, and Chen Man, with the key he had asked for from Xie Xue, looked anxiously to his left and right as he entered the room, and finally he saw Xie Qingcheng, who had fallen on the cold tiles.

 

"Brother Xie?!?!!"

 

Xie Qingcheng heard Chen Man's voice in his haze and he braced himself to get up as he tried to continue the play.

 

But not to mention the lack of strength in his arms and legs, even his eyelids became so heavy that there was only a shifting black shadow in front of his retinas, and all he knew was that at last Chen Man came running over to him and knelt down nervously to check on his condition.

 

Further on, he loses consciousness completely.

 

When Xie Qingcheng woke up again, a long time had passed.

He was lying on a single mobile bed, covered in a white hospital quilt, with an IV drip hanging from his hand, which he felt was flowing a little too fast for his comfort, and he tried to move, but only his fingertips could move slightly over the surface of the quilt.

 

"......"

 

"Thank you, brother."

 

When he woke up, Chen Man, who was standing by, came back to his senses, clutched his hand and asked sharply.

 

"How are you? Are you having a hard time? Is it still hard?"

 

"...... is fine. How do you ......"

 

"I asked Xie Xue for the keys and went back to the dorm with you, then I saw you passed out. When I took you to the hospital, you were 39.8. The doctor said you had a high fever and that it would be a big deal if you delayed any longer." Chen Man's rabbit-like red eyes, "Why didn't you say anything? Why did you ...... just ......"

 

Little by little, Xie Qingcheng's consciousness is flowing back into his body.

 

His eyes were closed for a moment and he slowly turned his head. His arm was exposed, with scars on the palm of his hand from the shards of the bottle and the knotted marks of the rope He Yu had strangled on his wrist.

 

Subconsciously, he had to retrieve the incriminating evidence of shame under the bedding.

 

But Chen Man had obviously spotted it already and he looked at Xie Qingcheng: "...... Did someone hit you?"

 

"......"

 

"Did someone do it to you because of those videos, because of those rumours, those rumours?"

 

Xie Qingcheng coughed softly, "...... Do I look like someone who can't fight back after being beaten up?"

 

"But-"

"I was in a bad mood and hurt myself." Xie Qingcheng's voice was low and hoarse as he said this to Chen Man, "...... so I didn't tell you."

 

Chen Man looks totally unconvinced.

 

But Xie Qingcheng didn't want him to cross-examine him any further.

 

He said, "I'm a bit hungry, go and get me a bowl of porridge."

 

Chen Man is distracted and goes out with his hair in a mess. He returned a few seconds later in a hurry, but he had been so lost in thought that he had forgotten his mobile phone.

 

With Chen Man gone, it's quiet all around. This is where the acute patients receive their fluids, separated from each other by a light blue curtain. Xie Qingcheng could faintly hear the sound of the patient next to him sobbing softly from the pain, and with his eyes open, he suddenly felt a little envious.

 

He hardly ever cried when he was growing up.

 

This power of venting never seemed to belong to him either.

 

My throat is dry as if it were on fire and my lips are like a waterless desert.

 

Xie Qingcheng thought it was Chen Man who had returned and opened his eyes...

 

"Dr. Tse, it's me."

 

Xie Qingcheng: "......"

 

The visitor was a director of the emergency department of Huyi Hospital.

 

The director is very calm and observant. He has always had a different view of the Qin Ciyan incident than others.

 

He therefore does not have any problem with Xie Qingcheng.

"Had some tests done when I brought you in." The director looked at him through the mask, "...... Dr. Xie, you should still be careful with your intercourse, even though you are in a bad mood, you should not use this violent cathartic way to relieve stress."

 

Xie Qingcheng's face suddenly turned ugly.

 

"I just saw those marks on you, I didn't see the rest, so don't think too much about it."

 

"......"

 

The director raised his head a little and gestured in that direction towards the door, "The one going out, your boyfriend?"

 

"...... regular friends."

 

He was not close to the director when he was a doctor, but for some reason he had always felt that he looked familiar to him, probably because his aura was subtly compatible, and when he was in the hospital, they could still talk to each other. It was just that Xie Qingcheng was feeling humiliated at the moment, so his hard face was tense and expressionless throughout, and he wasn't going to explain much.

 

But the director continued, "That's fine, if a police officer has such violent tendencies, he should also be seen by the mental health unit."

 

"......" Xie Qingcheng was finally annoyed by him, or spoke up, and said lightly, "You misunderstood, it's a female."

 

"Ah ......" the director lifted his chin slightly, surprised, but his eyes were quite calm, apparently not taking Xie Qingcheng's bullshit seriously, "Then this woman should be taught a lesson, wild into What kind."

 

"...... Please go out, I'm going to rest."

 

"All right, sleep well then, I guess you've had a lot on your mind these past few days, it's rare to have a good night's sleep, I'm on duty tonight, don't worry."

 

With that he walked over to the curtain, clutching his shorthand, and raised his hand to pull-

 

It turned out that there was a man standing outside.

 

It's Chen Man.

Chen Man had already returned from buying porridge and had just stood outside the curtain and overheard part of their conversation.

 

Now he stood frozen in place looking at the director, a face that slowly rose from blue and white to red and purple, and even the roots of his ears were glowing red. After a moment, his eyes rolled back involuntarily and fell on Xie Qingcheng, who also had a different look on his face.

 

It was a coincidence, because Chen Man had intended to come straight in, but then he heard a blur of talk about abstinence, and he froze, as if he had been electrocuted.

 

The director surveyed Chen Man's face, "...... what are you doing."

 

Chen Man: "......"

 

Xie Qingcheng: "......"

 

Chen Man bites his lip and doesn't say anything.

 

It was only after Xie Qingcheng coughed that the director let Chen Man go without further questioning and left on his own.

 

Inside and outside the draped curtain, Chen Man and Xie Qingcheng are the only two people left.

 

Chen Man takes a step forward, but stops immediately, as if by going further, he will step on some boundary and will learn some truth that will sting him.

 

"Brother. You ......"

 

"......"

 

Chen Man smiled reluctantly, "Did you get a girlfriend?"

 

"......"

 

"New sister-in-law?"

"No." Xie Qingcheng was annoyed and embarrassed, and didn't want to say too much, more talk is more wrong, "Just in a bad mood, just looking for fun."

 

But Chen Man didn't think he was such a person, and if someone else had said it, he might have believed it.

 

All the men in the world One Night Stand Xie Qingcheng are not likely to have a one-night stand, he is the most stereotypical, responsible man and the least likely to cause unnecessary harm.

 

Xie Qingcheng, seeing his look of disbelief, became even more annoyed and even tried to touch his cigarette - but of course he didn't.

 

"Why do you want ......"

 

Xie Qingcheng gave him a look, not understanding his sadness, but saying that Chen Man thought he should not do such a thing.

 

So calmly he said, "I'm single now, no wife or children, and there's nothing wrong with that."

 

He said, raising a hand against the corner of his still-hot forehead, almost a little indifferently, "As I told you, there's no need to think too highly of me, I'm just an ordinary man. Seven emotions, six desires, everything."

 

Chen Man choked and jerked his face away, lifting his porridge and sniffling.

 

He gave the porridge to Xie Qingcheng and put it on the small bedside table next to him.

 

"That ...... I ...... I want to remember ......"

 

He said, "...... I remembered I left something else in the kiosk earlier. I have to go and get it."

 

Chen Man said this and walked away without looking back, his gait even more hurried than his usual fast pace.

 

Run like hell.

 

Escaping to the night emergency lobby, Chen Man took a deep breath, eyes red, and stood in a daze, his mind in turmoil.

The words he had just heard kept ringing in his ears.

 

He knew that Xie Qingcheng must have slept with someone, and his heart ached with the thought of it.

 

But he didn't even have the courage to ask who that person was.

 

In Xie Qingcheng's eyes, he was always a child. Xie Qingcheng would take care of him and protect him, but he would never share his heart with him, let alone his private life. If Xie Qingcheng knew that he had such thoughts about him, Chen Man feared that he would never be able to get along with Xie Qingcheng again.

 

But at the moment, his heart was pumping too tightly.

 

Who, he thought, is that person, anyway ......

 

What kind of a girl is it?

 

Chen Man closed his eyes, he was in pain, he could never tell Xie Qingcheng what he liked because he wasn't a woman, could he?

 

But what Chen Man didn't know was that...

 

At this moment, the "girl", the culprit who made him bleed with hatred, was standing against the wall in the corner, her hands in her pockets, watching from afar as she came out of the emergency infusion room.

 

He Yu has followed Xie Qingcheng all the way.

 

It was only then that he saw who this person was who was busy around Xie Qingcheng.

 

He Yu recognises Chen Man.

 

Last time in the canteen, this man had a meal with himself. He knows Xie Qingcheng very well.

 

Chen Man, in the light, is uncomfortable, and He Yu, in the dark, is also uncomfortable with a prickly feeling, only he doesn't know why he is uncomfortable.

He hates Xie Qingcheng, but remembering the shattered past, he comes to his senses and doesn't think he'd really let anything bad happen to him.

 

But the result of following him all the way was that he watched Chen Man half-carry, half-carry an unconscious Xie Qingcheng to the car underneath the Shanghai Medical Department ......

 

He Yu witnessed the whole thing and felt, very, very uncomfortable.

 

Xie Qingcheng's illness was his fault, he was not afraid of anything, he was a man of his word, he had the face to face the doctors.

 

He doesn't need another person to settle his debts, especially since Xie Qingcheng has just scolded him for "running away when things go wrong" when he wakes up.

 

He didn't run away, he thought.

 

It was Xie Qingcheng, his own forgetful friend, who saddled up and cleaned up for him, trying to steal his own work.

 

He Yu stood outside while Xie Qingcheng was receiving fluids in the ward. He wanted to know how Xie Qingcheng was doing, but with Chen Man around, he couldn't ask again.

 

He was the one who caused Xie Qingcheng's fever, but after all this time, he couldn't even get into the infusion room.

 

Until now Chen Man is out.

 

He Yu looked at him from afar and found that the boy's face was ugly, as if the sky was falling, and he felt uneasy in his heart.

 

--Are things bad for Xie Qingcheng?

 

He was in no way concerned about Xie Qingcheng, but he was the one who did it, and he had to take some responsibility for his own dignity.

 

Then again, Chen Man approached ......

 

When He Yu saw that his eyes were actually a little red, he was even more stunned, and he was at a loss for words.

What happened to Xie Qingcheng?

 

He Yu's face turned a little white, unaware that he was now like a young father waiting outside a maternity ward, unable to enter, unable to ask questions, anxious as hell. He was so annoyed that he suddenly heard...

 

"Hey, comrade, you're Xie Qingcheng's family, aren't you?"

 

A nurse suddenly came running out of the emergency infusion room.

 

Chen Man froze for a moment, thought about it and nodded slowly.

 

"The blood test report for the patient's medical insurance should be out, you've just taken one less copy, please go and get it again. And those medications the doctor just prescribed, go and pay for them and collect them as soon as possible."

 

"Oh ...... good."

 

Chen Man went to the test collection counter and took Xie Qingcheng's blood test slip.

 

Then go to another window to settle the medical bill.

 

But he was in such a bad mood that he was so distracted by what he was doing that when it came time to get the medicine and pay for it, the blood test sheet he had just taken floated down from the pile.

 

The thin report form fell like a sheet of snow on the cold tiles of the emergency hall.

 

"......"

 

He Yu's eyes are fixed.

 

That's Xie Qingcheng's list ......

 

After a few seconds of thoughtful struggle, he squeezed the brim of his hat and, before Chen Man could notice, straightened up and walked over to pick up the snow-white sheet of paper.

In that moment He Yu had a very odd association, as if he was a scumbag college student, worried that he had accidentally knocked up his girlfriend by not wearing the right condom on his first night, and was now peeking at her pregnancy test.

 

"......" He Yu shook his head off, trying to shake off the ridiculous and outrageous thought.

 

It's crazy.

 

So much had happened in the past two days that it was so overwhelming that his thoughts were out of whack.

 

He Yu looked down at Xie Qingcheng's blood test report -

 

It's just that the white blood cells are much elevated and seem to be inflamed.

 

Other than that it's fine, nothing major ......

 

So what was that boy crying about just now ......

 

He Yu breathes a small sigh of relief, his eyelashes lifting slightly as his gaze falls on "Xie Qingcheng, male, 32 years old" at the top of the report form.

 

His fingertips rubbed over the tiny printed words.

 

A freshly typed report card with some residual warmth from the machine.

 

Touching it is just like the man's skin ......

 

"Sorry little brother, this is my stuff."

 

Chen Man was so busy that he finally realized that he had lost his blood test report and turned around to look for it.

 

Unfortunately, Chen Man was in such a low mood and He Yu was wearing a hat that he could not see He Yu's face.

So he missed the opportunity to confront the culprit and just treated He Yu like a normal patient, saying to him, "Excuse me, could you please return this report to me?"

 

"......" He Yu's gaze was caged beneath the shadow of the brim of his hat and for a moment, he felt he would not let go.

 

But then he wondered why he didn't let go.

 

Is he really a scum college student, is Xie Qingcheng really his girlfriend, and is he indeed holding the pregnancy test report?

 

It's ridiculous.

 

But as he thought this in his heart, his mouth still said coldly, "You are mistaken, this is mine."

 

Chen Man: "I just clearly ...... asked you to let me look at it."

 

He Yu doesn't show him, his long, cold, white fingers clutching the test sheet behind his back.

 

"This is patient privacy."

 

"I just wanted to see the name! Because I've just dropped this list and it's around here ......"

 

"Do you want to see my girlfriend's pregnancy test too?"

 

Chen Man is dumb.

 

He Yu thought it was outrageous even after he finished, but probably because he was thinking about this nonsense beforehand, he just blurted out this refusal.

 

The words were so powerful that when Chen Man, a young man, heard the words "pregnancy test", he had no intention of pursuing it.

 

He blushed, not daring to look the young boy across the table in the eye, even though he felt quite absurd in his heart, for although he had never looked closely at He Yu's face, he knew that he must be a student younger than himself.

 

What these college boys are doing now is really ......

 

Chen Man stumbled, "No, sorry, that would be a mistake on my part."

 

He Yu grimaced and put Xie Qingcheng's blood test slip into his trouser pocket: "You're the one who made the mistake."

 

"Then I'll look for more ......"

 

He Yu ignored him, carrying the sheet that was of little use to him, at best proof that Xie Qingcheng had been fucked by him all night, and walked away without a backward glance.

 

There was no one, who knew he had ever come.
