Chapter 22

Yin Ning made a call, and just after stammering a few words, she put the phone gently on Xia Tingwan's ear.

Su Yan's voice over there is still hoarse, but his tone is very urgent: "Ting Wan - listen to me, I ask a few questions, you can simply answer."

"Did you hit your head when you fell?"

"No……"

"Are you bleeding a lot?"

"No, not much."

"Besides the feet, do you know where else in the body hurts?"

"I don't know." Xia Tingwan took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but contain a trace of grievance in her tone: "Su Yan, my whole body hurts, I can't tell the difference."

"I'll be there soon." Su Yan said, "Wait for me."

wait for me.

These two words suddenly made Xia Tingwan's nose sour.

After hanging up the phone, Yin Ning knelt down beside him. After a long time, his shoulders were shaking and he said incoherently, "I didn't mean to, I don't know, I..."

"I know." Xia Tingwan endured the pain on her feet and body, gently wiped Yin Ning's tear-filled face with her fingers, and comforted the frightened boy gently: "I know, Ning I'd rather not cry, I'm fine."

The moment he spoke, Xia Tingwan suddenly lost his mind, even forgetting the severe pain for a while.

Such him...

In this case, he can still be very calm and treat Yin Ning gently.

Make him feel so unfamiliar.

He never knew that he could have such a side.

...

Su Yan did come so fast, so fast that Xia Tingwan was a little surprised.

He felt that he was just sitting with Yin Ning for a while, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming all the way up from the empty stairwell.

Xia Tingwan couldn't help looking down, and sure enough, she soon saw that Su Yan was wearing the dark blue pajamas at home, with only a windbreaker outside, dressed in a funny way, and was striding up the stairs .

"Court night."

Su Yan looked up and saw Xia Tingwan, and ran over in three steps and two steps. He didn't care to say anything, he squatted directly in front of Xia Tingwan, looked at it from top to bottom with a solemn expression, and raised his head again. At that time, his expression relaxed a little, and he asked, "How did you fall?"

Xia Tingwan could feel Yin Ning's body trembling beside him. He didn't have time to think too much, so he raised his head subconsciously and said, "I, I stepped on the empty steps."

"Did it yourself?" Su Yan glanced at Xia Tingwan and Yin Ning on the side, her light gray eyes were inexplicably deterrent under the light of the corridor.

Xia Tingwan's heart beat faster involuntarily. In front of Su Yan, he was more like a child than Yin Ning. He was guilty of telling a lie.

He didn't mean to deceive Su Yan on purpose, but Yin Ning was a little afraid of Su Yan, and at this time, he always felt that it would be better to hide Su Yan temporarily, and then find a time to confess when the matter was almost over.

Fortunately, Su Yan didn't ask any more questions, he thought for a while, then turned to Yin Ning and said, "I have to go downstairs with brother Tingwan - Ningning, the corridor is narrow, you go down first, the car is downstairs. ."

Yin Ning glanced at Xia Tingwan erratically, then lowered his head and ran downstairs.

...

"Come."

Su Yan stretched a hand under Xia Tingwan's knee, leaned down slightly, and hugged Xia Tingwan in a light and slow manner.

Su Yan turned his head and asked in his ear, "Does it hurt?"

"pain……"

As long as the right foot was moved a little, the pain was excruciating, and the wound on the left thigh was burning.

Xia Ting wrapped around Su Yan's neck in the evening, and the whole person got into Su Yan's arms——

Su Yan hasn't hugged him like this for a long time.

If it wasn't for his injury, would Su Yan really never hug him like this again.

His eyes were sore, and pitifully pressed his cold sweaty face to Su Yan's chest, and murmured, "It hurts, it hurts."

Yin Ning left, and he finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He was like a lost child who was finally found by adults when he was panicking.

He felt at once reassured, but also had an unfounded complaint—

Why didn't you find me sooner?

What...why didn't you hug me sooner?

Su Yan hugged Xia Tingwan's waist tightly and coaxed in a low voice, "I know, I know... I'll hold you down, I'll hold it for a while, and I'll take you to the hospital immediately."

Su Yan hugged Xia Tingwan and went downstairs step by step.

Su Yan was much taller than Xia Tingwan, with a broad and powerful chest.

Xia Tingwan used to like Su Yan hugging him the most. It felt like he was lying in a stable ship, sailing recklessly in this world.

Even if the waves outside were big and bumpy, he was safe.

He was never hugged by Xia Zhongyu when he was a child, and he used to be very envious of other children in his heart.

Later, when he grew up and had Su Yan, he intensified his efforts to get those unwilling back.

Su Yan is his own ship.

Thinking about it now, he could clearly be a decent adult in front of Yin Ning.

But not in front of Su Yan.

After going down the third floor, Xia Tingwan felt that Su Yan's pace gradually slowed down.

He raised his head, but saw that Su Yan's face was extremely pale, obviously struggling.

"Su Yan," he panicked, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, just been sick for a week...the body is a little weak." Su Yan slowly leaned his back against the wall, breathing heavily.

Xia Tingwan struggled to touch Su Yan's forehead with his hand and felt that the temperature was indeed normal.

"I'll take a break, just take a break." Su Yan also looked at him, although big drops of sweat rolled down his forehead, he forced a small smile at him: "It's so heavy, these few days Are you fat?"

"When did you see me getting fat?" Xia Tingwan knew that Su Yan was comforting him, but still couldn't help snorting.

He is too confident.

He is very greedy, loves seafood, loves barbecue, and occasionally comes to eat hot pot late at night, which is a big killer.

But he doesn't seem to be fat by nature, his limbs are slender, and he doesn't have any extra meat on his face, so he doesn't have the psychological burden of other idol stars when he eats it.

"brat."

The smile on Su Yan's face grew stronger, he used a little force to hold him higher, and continued to walk down.

This time he only went down one floor, and when he reached the stairwell, he couldn't hold it any longer.

Xia Tingwan could feel Su Yan's chaotic breathing in his chest through the clothes of the two of them. Su Yan gasped for breath, as if lacking oxygen, but his face was pale but a layer of vain red appeared.

Xia Tingwan suddenly became nervous, and for a moment even forgot the pain in her feet. She hugged Su Yan's neck tightly and said anxiously, "Su Yan, why don't you put me down. Why are you so weak?"

"My appetite has been so bad these two days, maybe it's a little hypoglycemia." Su Yan leaned his head up against the wall, shook his head, and after a while, he said, "Ting Wan, you help me take down the phone and give it to the driver. Give him a call and ask him to come and pick him up."

Xia Tingwan quickly fumbled and took out her mobile phone from Su Yan's pocket. Just as she was about to ask for the password, she found that as soon as she touched the HOME button, she unlocked it directly.

His face suddenly became hot, he couldn't help raising his head, and whispered, "You, you haven't deleted my fingerprints..."

Once after the marriage, in order to show his prestige, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly asked to see Su Yan's WeChat.

On the surface, he looked like a matter of course, but in fact, he was very guilty.

After all, the two were newly married, and he was not so confident about many things. In fact, he secretly felt that he had violated Su Yan's privacy. If Su Yan refused, he would not be able to step down.

But Su Yan just gave him the phone and told him to set up his own fingerprint to unlock, just look at it.

After he succeeded, the little fox acted like a fox, and proudly set the thumb and index finger fingerprints of both his hands in one breath, leaving only one fingerprint position for Su Yan, the owner of the mobile phone, so angry Can't laugh or cry.

Later, after Su Yan changed his mobile phone, he kept the habit of letting him unlock it first, and he still set four fingerprints unceremoniously.

It's just that he never thought that until now, Su Yan has not deleted his fingerprints.

Thinking of this again at this time, his nose was sore, and he really almost cried.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, but did not answer for a while.

Xia Tingwan looked at him.

Su Yan looked haggard because of his illness. He was wearing pajamas and no perfume. He still had unshaved stubble on his chin, like an old cat.

Su Yan must still love him.

It is different from the cognition that Xu Zhe and him analyzed a little bit before.

This time he felt it with his own heart. ,

At such a close distance, he even felt that he could almost breathe Su Yan's deep love.

Like a river in a moonlit night, it flows slowly and gurgling.

flow between them.

At this moment, heard footsteps echoing in the stairwell, and a figure suddenly appeared downstairs.

"Xia Ting Wan...?"

Xia Ting looked back late, and was a little surprised for a while: "Ji Zhan? Why are you here?"

The tall and handsome young man was wearing sunglasses. Although it was autumn, he was obviously very physically fit. He only wore a tight white vest that outlined a good figure, and a black motorcycle jacket was casually draped outside, very chic.

"Didn't I say come to H City this week?"

Ji Zhan took off his sunglasses, glanced at him and Su Yan in surprise, and walked up while explaining: "I wanted to tell you a surprise, but I didn't tell you to come directly. What's wrong with you?"

Xia Tingwan just remembered that after the phone call with Ji Zhan last time, he had already sent the address to Ji Zhan.

He suddenly realized that he was in an embarrassing situation, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "I, I fell down the stairs, and the elevator is broken again... I was just about to call the driver to pick it up."

"You were too careless."

Ji Zhan's tone of concern was filled with reproach. He looked at Su Yan's expression and clearly understood what was going on: "This is Mr. Su, it's very tiring to go downstairs like this. Why don't you change me— - There are only a few floors left, so there is no need to call people up and waste time."

He walked over as he spoke, and naturally stretched out his hand, wanting to take Xia Tingwan from Su Yan's arm.

But Su Yan didn't let go.

Su Yan raised his head and looked at Ji Zhan.

Although his clothes were messy, his breathing was still a little unsteady.

But he just pursed his lips and looked at it with a faint glance, but all of a sudden the whole person seemed to be condensed together, with a kind of deterrence and fierceness like a cat guarding the territory.

Ji Zhan was also stunned and stopped.

Su Yan's hand tightened silently.

Xia Tingwan didn't know where she hit just now, but when Su Yan pressed it so hard, she suddenly groaned in pain: "Well, it hurts..."

Su Yan immediately lowered his eyes and saw Xia Tingwan trembling in discomfort.

He finally relaxed the strength of his arms, gave in silently, and gently put Xia Tingwan in Ji Zhan's arms.

Xia Tingwan was in so much pain that he couldn't care about these things. He tried his best to just hold Ji Zhan's shoulder and keep some distance.

When Ji Zhan went downstairs, he couldn't help turning his head slightly, only to see Su Yan just following behind.

The man looked at him in a trance, with a tired expression on his face, and there seemed to be a trace of pain in his deep eyes.

——

Ji Zhan carried Xia Tingwan down to the eleventh floor in one breath. He seemed to feel very relaxed, and his face was only slightly red when he reached the hall.

Su Yan remained silent all the way, until Ji Zhan carefully carried Xia Tingwan to the black Maybach, and then said in a low voice, "Thank you."

He continued to go up and down the fifteenth floor, even if he just said these two words, his voice was struggling, and his body was shaking.

But in front of Ji Zhan, his chin was slightly raised, still trying to maintain his usual demeanor.

Xia Tingwan looked out through the car window——

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw Su Yan.

Sharp nose, tall body. Those deep eyes looked at anyone, and everyone would feel like they were seen through in an instant.

Words and deeds, full of control over life. He was arrogant but decent, gentle and reserved.

Contradictory qualities blended together naturally in this man, creating an almost mystical charisma.

In the past, the scenes switched dreamily.

The man who used to be incomparably powerful now stands in front of Ji Zhan, who is in high spirits and in his youth, but there is an indescribable bleakness and decadence.

Xia Tingwan looked at Su Yan's efforts to keep her head up and her chest up -

Like a frail old lion still defending his territory in vain.

Xia Tingwan's heart was so painful that it was about to be crushed.

When Su Yan opened the car door and sat in, Xia Tingwan didn't care about anything else and threw herself into the man's arms.

Su Yan thought he was in unbearable pain, so he held him in his arms and put one hand on his right foot.

"Don't..." Xia Tingwan murmured subconsciously, wanting to hide.

"I took off your shoes." Su Yan's arms wrapped around Xia Tingwan very strongly, slowly took off the moccasins on his feet, and then gently took off the boat socks inside.

Xia Tingwan lowered his head and glanced quietly at his right foot, which was swollen and swollen from the top of his foot to the ankle to the point of being scary.

Su Yan took out the ice pack he had prepared before from the small box beside the car seat, while rubbing Xia Tingwan's back with one hand, he gently placed the ice pack on Xia Tingwan's right foot. apply.

"It hurts, Su Yan, take it easy..." Xia Tingwan was agitated by the cold temperature, and whimpered softly.

"I know." Su Yan lowered his head and stroked Xia Tingwan's ear with his fingers like he was coaxing a small animal: "Tingting, be patient."

This was the first time Su Yan called him court after the divorce.

Xia Tingwan put her head on Su Yan's shoulder, inhaled gently, coveting the temperature on Su Yan's body.

It's not that he can't bear it.

Yin Ning is still there, and the driver is there. Whether it's for face or something else, he can act a little more mature.

But when he saw Su Yan just outside the car window, he suddenly didn't want to hide it.

He wants to act like a spoiled child with Su Yan, telling Su Yan with every hidden touch and movement of his body: he needs him.

Because he instinctively sensed that the old lion also needed the snuggle of his little peacock.

...

Of course, Xia Tingwan didn't want to make a high-profile appearance in the public. Fortunately, Su Yan had arranged it in advance to let the driver drive the car into the underground parking lot of a high-end hospital, and then take the internal elevator. The confidentiality was guaranteed.

There were so many people in the hospital that there was no time to take care of Yin Ning, so after arriving, Su Yan asked the driver to take Yin Ning back to Xiangshan first.

Ji Zhan didn't leave, he drove his car behind Maybach and went to the hospital together.

The doctor checked Xia Tingwan carefully. Of course, the most serious one was the right foot. Although the ankle and sole of the foot were terribly swollen, after the filming, it was found that there was only a very slight fracture, which can be said to be lucky. .

Xia Tingwan didn't want to cast a cast, so the doctor only fixed it with a brace, and instructed him not to use force on his feet.

The scratch on the left leg was unexpectedly deep. After cleaning the wound, a few stitches were added, which hurt Xia Tingwan badly.

He was embarrassed to lose face in front of the doctor, so he just looked at Su Yan pitifully.

Ji Zhan couldn't help but smirk when he saw Xia Tingwan gritting her teeth and patiently.

After bandaging, he came over and suddenly asked, "Hey, didn't you say that your assistant has been away for the past two weeks? Then what are you going to do?"

"Is Zhao Nanshu not here?" Su Yan also glanced at Xia Tingwan after listening, "Your elevator is broken, I will arrange for you to live in Wenhua."

Su Yan has a long-term suite in Mandarin Oriental. When the two of them were not married before, Su Yan rarely thought of going to live in Xiangshan. When he came to H City, he would eat and drink with him in the urban area, and at night, he would go back to Wenhua to rest with him. .

Now when it comes to that place, he is still very familiar with it.

But Xia Tingwan suddenly became unhappy when she heard Su Yan say so.

He didn't look at Su Yan and said angrily, "I don't want to stay in a hotel."

He couldn't express his secret feelings at all. He knew that Su Yan would take care of him, but he didn't want to live in Wenhua.

Su Yan turned his head and did not speak immediately.

Ji Zhan didn't notice the difference between Xia Tingwan and Su Yan. Seeing that they didn't speak, he shrugged and said casually, "If you don't want to stay in a hotel, why don't you go to my place?"

He just said these words when Su Yan's face sank, and his light gray eyes narrowed dangerously.

Ji Zhan seemed a little dull at this time, and continued with his usual demeanor: "—Although I haven't lived here for a long time, I just need to clean up. It just so happened that my assistant and I were in City H recently."

"No need." Su Yan stood up. He was a few centimeters taller than Ji Zhan, and when he lowered his head slightly, he had an unmistakable strong aura: "You are also very busy, so I can't trouble you."

Ji Zhan and Su Yan looked at each other and said nothing.

"If you don't like Wenhua, go back to Xiangshan."

Su Yan then said to Xia Tingwan very calmly, he paused, his tone was lighter, and he whispered: "Anywhere is fine, be by my side... I'm more at ease."

Xia Tingwan raised her head and crossed Su Yan's shoulder, when he suddenly saw Ji Zhan blinking at him quietly.

___________

It was late at night when got out of the hospital.

On the way back to Xiangshan, Xia Tingwan received a WeChat message from Ji Zhan: "Isn't my wave of operations great?"

Xia Ting replied to him late with three question marks.

"Did you see? I helped carry you downstairs, but Su Yan glared at me. Then I'll definitely find a chance to piss him off."

Ji Zhan sent two messages in a row: "I made up about the house - in fact, I don't have a house at all in City H, and I'm staying in a hotel myself, just a little bit. Anyway, if you have Su Yan, you won't go to my place."

Then I followed a Shiba Inu "slightly" sticking its tongue out.

Xia Tingwan only looked at the words he posted, and he seemed to be able to see Ji Zhan's vivid expression. He couldn't help laughing out loud and replied, "If you continue to riot, you will die."

"Hahaha," Ji Zhan replied, "I'll see you in a few days."

"What's wrong?" Su Yan turned to look at Xia Tingwan.

"Ah..." Xia Ting thought for a while and said, "Ji Zhan said that he would come to Xiangshan to see me for a few days."

"Yeah." Su Yan responded lightly and didn't say much.

When he came to Xiangshan again, Xia Tingwan's mood had a subtle change that he couldn't even tell.

He is so familiar with every plant and tree here. But when came back this time, couldn't help but look carefully, back and forth.

Five years ago, he moved in awkwardly, but he quickly fell in love with everything here.

Fragrant Hill is his home, or perhaps it can be said, the first home in the true sense of his life.

Even until he and Su Yan divorced, he was still quietly attached to this place, and he knew that he could no longer feel the same sense of belonging to any other place.

Su Yan was holding Xia Tingwan's master bedroom on the third floor, and when he was about to push the door, Xia Tingwan suddenly hugged Su Yan's neck tightly, struggling a little awkwardly and asked, "Where did Wen Zichen live before?"

Su Yan was silent for a while before replying in a low voice, "The guest room on the first floor is next to Ning Ning."

After Xia Ting heard it late, he buried his head in Su Yan's shoulder and did not speak. He didn't want to ask.

There is a soft grievance that cannot be expressed, but buried in my heart, it is sour and sour.

Su Yan turned on the light, and the gentle warm yellow shone in the room. The huge master bedroom and Xia Ting's night left almost unchanged.

The dark blue queen bed is OVER-SIZE, so all bedding has to be specially ordered.

Xia Ting looked over and saw that there were still two goose feather pillows and a huge fluffy duck down quilt on the bed.

Here, time seems to have passed undisturbed months.

When he used to live here, everything came to his liking. Even in summer, like to cover a thick quilt, turn on the air conditioner very cold, and then get in the whole person without showing toes.

His theory is that this is the best way to sleep.

Su Yan had no choice but to listen to him.

Even if they quarreled, they never slept in separate beds in those five years, and even Xia Tingwan refused to cover two quilts separately.

Su Yan put Xia Tingwan's body on the side by the bay window. Xia Tingwan liked the huge bay window the most. She rolled on the bed and curled herself lazily under the bay window from time to time. So he always sleeps on the inside of the bed.

Xia Ting was lying on this bed late, turning his head slightly, the pillow outside was obviously flatter.

He could feel that even though he had been away for so long, Su Yan still seemed to be habitually lying on the outside of the bed.

Xia Tingwan sniffed quietly, and smelled that even the refreshing detergent in the quilt smelled the same as before, so he felt relieved and curled up in the fluffy and soft quilt.

He was like a small animal that was injured and returned to its lair, carefully confirming the territory that should have belonged to him.

Su Yan got up and pushed the window open to let in a wisp of the cool autumn wind, and then went to the cabinet next to him and brought a thick pillow over.

Xia Tingwan raised his head, and he saw Su Yan wherever he went. At this time, he was unusually well-behaved.

His eyes were bright, but his eyes were soft.

Su Yan sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to brush the hair that fell from Xia Tingwan's forehead behind his ear. His voice was still hoarse from a cold, but his tone was very soft: "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

Xia Ting shook his head late, but he couldn't help yawning.

Of course, he was exhausted. After tossing for a day, his feet were sore, not to mention his body was sore.

I didn't rest well the other night, so wanted to close eyes as soon as lay on the familiar bed, but subconsciously wanted to hold on for a while longer.

He actually just wanted to talk to Su Yan for a while.

Su Yan smiled: "Go to bed early today."

He said, gently lifted Xia Tingwan's injured right foot, put the pillow under it and said warmly: "Put your foot up higher, I'm afraid that if you fall asleep at night, the blood will not flow back, and it will swell more severely. "

I don't know why, but with such an ordinary sentence, Xia Tingwan still felt a little hot on her face.

It's been too long since had such private time with Su Yan. It turned out that he was still so safe around this man.

Even if it's just a few simple words, there is a kind of warm feeling flowing.

"Su Yan..." Xia Ting pulled Su Yan's finger late: "Are you sleeping here?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I'll go to the study."

Xia Ting lowered her eyes unhappily, and said awkwardly, "What should I do if I have to go to the toilet at night?"

"Call me." Su Yan leaned down and covered Xia Tingwan with the quilt: "I'll be right here. Be obedient, eh?"

Xia Ting didn't speak anymore, and buried his face in the pillow.

The nasally, somewhat upward "um" made his heart numb, and he felt that he couldn't help listening to Su Yan's words, as if some kind of magic had been applied.

After Su Yan left, he took out his mobile phone and sent Su Yan a WeChat message, "Good night."

Then sent a gif of a puppy holding its belly coquettishly.

Su Yan returned quickly.

"Good night."

...

That night, Xia Ting slept soundly, and even had several dreams on and off. Of course, he couldn't remember what he dreamed, but it felt very sweet.

It was drizzling outside in the morning.

Xia Tingwan opened her eyes and glanced around, and saw that Aunt Rong was at the bedside trying to close the window for him.

"Leave a small gap for me, Auntie Rong... Don't, don't close it tightly." Xia Tingwan said dazedly.

What he likes most is when it is raining, lying by the window and sleeping, the thin cool raindrops occasionally sprinkle on his face, which is extra refreshing.

"Xiao Xia is awake?" After hearing that, Aunt Rong really left a little space, then walked to the bed and squatted down, and said softly.

"Aunt Rong..." Xia Tingwan rubbed her eyes and asked subconsciously, "Where's Su Yan?"

The chief steward of Su's house was Uncle Shen, but he was busy, and he also had to help Su Yan with the family's affairs, so he couldn't do everything. So the trivial things, eating, drinking and wearing, are more in charge of Auntie Rong.

Xia Tingwan and Aunt Rong have a very good relationship, so she didn't need to say anything, she asked naturally.

"Mr. and the driver went out. You have to stay for a while, so he went to buy you clothes and some daily necessities."

"Did he go in person?" Xia Tingwan was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Auntie Rong smiled and said softly: "When you come back to live, Mr. didn't say anything, but he was happy. When I woke up early in the morning, I started to make arrangements and made a list for the kitchen. It’s better, when you don’t have to eat, you must be craving seafood, so I’m anxious to send someone to order fresh crabs and oysters for you.”

Xia Tingwan squinted her eyes halfway, listening to Aunt Rong speak so softly, it felt like someone was kissing his back affectionately.

The light of the sky was hazy and shallow, and along with the fine rain, it gently spilled into the room.

The sun is just right, there is a kind of lazy comfort.

If it weren't for his feet still unable to move, he couldn't help but want to roll several times on the bed.

Xia Tingwan felt her body soft and fluffy, and soon fell asleep again.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Su Yan sitting beside the bed.

"Awake?"

The sun shines on Su Yan's body. Compared with yesterday, he seems to be a little reborn.

The light gray straight shirt, the hair was also trimmed with gel, very refreshing.

After the chin has been shaved, it seems to be still green and clean, making people feel as if they can smell the cold aftershave.

Su Yan took out Xia Tingwan's right foot from the bed and looked down carefully.

Xia Tingwan suddenly thought that on the night when the two of them made out for the first time, Su Yan held his foot in that dilapidated small hotel, lowered his head and kissed gently.

His face was flushed, and he couldn't help but stop and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at...?"

"It's swollen like a pig's trotter."

Su Yan smiled.

When he spoke, he showed a row of neat white teeth, and the sun shone in his eyes with a kind of deep tenderness.
