Chapter 24

In the winter of M city, there is always very little rain, and the air always smells of dryness and coldness, but there has been no sun for many days.

Li Xi could feel that he had something on his mind. Sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night, but he was still awake.

Noticing the slight rubbing of the fabric on his side, Li Xi turned to hug him and asked, "Can't you sleep?"

Hearing his voice, Chu Yan first said "um" apologetically, and then asked, "Did I wake you up?"

In the dim light, finish this sentence. Chu Yan felt a burst of hot air spraying on his neck, itching.

Li Xi leaned over slowly, kissed the most vulnerable part of his neck, and panted, "No..."

In the silent darkness, only the warm light reflected on the wall, all senses were magnified, Chu Yan turned over and found Li Xi's hand to hold.

After receiving his response, Li Xi was ecstatic and kissed his cheek and forehead.

Chu Yan was also panting violently, groping in the dark and touching Li Xi's face.

His fingertips were a little cold, and his palms were still sweaty. Li Xi was stunned for a while, and obediently rubbed against his palms, but his movements gradually slowed down, and he exchanged a longer kiss with him tenderly and eagerly.

...

** was relieved, and Li Xi was also well fed, but now he is not sleepy at all.

But the person next to him was obviously tired, and he fell into a deep sleep after a long time. Li Xi hugged him, and in the silent night, he could hear clearly the frequency of his breathing and heartbeat.

You should have known it earlier, if you really don't have your own words in your heart as he said, why do you need to be together for so long. With his character, I'm afraid he can't get along with people who don't like him even for a day.

Thinking of this, Li Xi's heart seemed to spread a bit of bitterness that was similar to sweetness but mixed with some indescribable emotions.

Insomnia is probably the most painful disease in the world. Chu Yan was in a terrible mood if he couldn't sleep well for half a month.

The next morning, the warm sunlight shone through the glass window, and the nurse came over as usual to measure blood pressure and draw blood for testing, but the process was not as smooth as before. to the ground.

Li Xi frowned and reminded lightly, "Be careful."

Although this reminder is neither salty nor light, it doesn't even mean half a scolding, but he has been in the upper position for many years, and he always unconsciously haunts an indescribable and oppressive aura, and it's okay when he smiles , With such a gloomy face, people can't help but tremble in their hearts.

What's more, the other party was just a little girl, and she was even more nervous by this look, and her hands began to tremble a little when the blood was drawn for the second time.

Li Xi saw that her hands were shaking like a Parkinson's patient, and she was not professional at all, and her instinct was about to get angry: "Is it possible that this is not tossing people?"

The nurse was so frightened by Li Xi that she shrank, and sweat dripped from the tip of her nose: "I'm sorry, I'll be fine soon."

Chu Yan was also in a bad mood, so he turned his head to Li Xi and said, "You go out first."

Li Xi was obviously reluctant, but seeing Chu Yan's face was a little irritable, and he was a little afraid of making him angry, so he could only move out of the room angrily.

Without Li Xi, the nurse really relaxed a lot. After drawing blood, he measured his blood pressure. The whole process took less than ten minutes.

It's just that the little nurse was still frowning, and before she left, she asked cautiously, "Mr. Li, he won't complain about me, will he?"

Chu Yan smiled: "No, he is not such a person." Li Xi just looked a little fierce, not the kind of person who can't get along with others just because of a trivial matter.

The little nurse was relieved after receiving his assurance, but she was still terrified when she passed by Li Xi when she was going out.

When Li Xi came in, he saw that he was rubbing his temples heavily with his hands, and his face was haggard.

Since the start of the treatment, Li Xi discovered that due to the side effects of chemotherapy, Chu Yan began to suffer from frequent symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, and the whole person lost weight rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A strong sense of anxiety and powerlessness filled his chest, making it hard for him to even breathe.

——

Few people actually knew about Chu Yan's illness. Originally, he didn't have many familiar people in M ​​City. Originally, he thought that apart from Li Xi and Zhang Chengye, basically no one would visit him.

When leukemia develops to a later stage, the time interval for treatment is also much shorter, basically from once a week before to once every three or four days now.

Chu Yan was leaning on the head of the bed and closed his eyes, when there was a knock at the door, and then the door was pushed open, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and saw an acquaintance.

Xiao Yang is Li Xi's assistant. He has been with Li Xi for many years and has met many times before.

"Doctor Liang." Xiao Yang put the things Li Xi ordered him to buy by the bedside, but he didn't know why, when facing Chu Yan, he always felt at a loss.

Maybe it's because the other party doesn't like to talk, people are always cold and indifferent, and happiness and anger are never shown on their faces.

He seems to have just finished the treatment, and he looks very tired, his face is pale, and his lips are white.

Chu Yan turned to look at him, breathed evenly, and said weakly, "Li Xi asked you to come?"

When he got a little closer, Xiao Yang realized that the bridge of his nose was covered in fine cold sweat, and his bangs were wet and messy against his cheeks, looking very bad.

"Yes, Mr. Li has something to do today... But, are you alright... Do you want me to call a doctor?" Xiao Yang was really afraid that he would faint in the next second when he saw him like this.

"The doctor came just now..." Chu Yan looked at him: "Okay, you can leave if you're okay."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and closed his eyes again, as if he had no strength to speak again.

Xiao Yang didn't dare to leave when he looked at him. The only sound in the ward was the dripping sound of medical equipment. He found a chair next to him and sat down, but he was still a little apprehensive. Yesterday afternoon, Li Xi He hastily asked him to book a plane ticket to country M. It seems that he heard that there is a first match of Chinese descent there, but he regretted it temporarily and didn't want to accept the high match.

Anyway, whether rich or poor, as long as they are sick, they have to suffer, even if they are rich like Mr. Li, they are not looking for bone marrow matching all over the world.

After taking out his mobile phone and playing for a while, he glanced at the time. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. When he was considering whether to go out and buy something for Chu Yan, a nurse pushed in at the door.

"Measure the blood pressure, the patient fell asleep, how long did he sleep?"

Xiao Yang nodded: "About forty minutes."

The nurse walked to the bedside and called Chu Yan a few words in a low voice, but there was no response. When she saw his face clearly, she was startled, her face turned red, her breathing was very difficult, her lips moved slightly, but her breath was very weak.

She turned on the oxygen generator next to her immediately, placed the oxygen mask between Chu Yan's mouth and nose, turned her head and ordered Xiao Yang, who was still dazed by the side, "Go and call the doctor!"

——

After getting off the plane, Li Xi felt a strong sense of urgency and anxiety for some reason, and there was a strong palpitation in his heart. At this time, it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, during the rush hour after get off work, and the traffic jam on the road was bad. While waiting for the traffic lights to clear, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call to the assistant, but before the call was made, the other party's call came.

The voice was very urgent: "Mr. Li, Dr. Liang's situation is a little wrong. He is now rescuing... Have you gotten off the plane?"

In almost a second, cold sweat broke out on Li Xi's back.

There was only Xiao Yang waiting outside the emergency room of the hospital. The corridor was silent. Li Xi walked over and found that his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was seized by a thick panic. The door to the room was finally pushed open.

Both the doctor and the nurse were wearing blue sterile suits. As soon as Li Xi saw Dr. Li, his sluggish mind had not yet reacted, and his body had already walked towards him: "How is he..."

"It was a short-term hypoxic shock caused by a lung infection. Fortunately, it was found in time, but it still needs to be observed for two more days."

As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse pushed out the bed behind him. Li Xi followed him and found that although he was still in a coma, there was no pain on his face, and he let go of his heart that was always on it. , quickly followed into the elevator.

The light in the intensive care unit was very dim. Li Xi was sitting beside the bed in a sterile suit. His eyes fell on most of his face, which was covered by the oxygen mask. Silently stroked the undulating curve aside.

Li Xi touched his fingers and found that the fingertips were cold. He sat for a while in a daze, looking at Chu Yan's pale and thin cheeks. Rub it.

Chu Yan woke up on the third day after the minor operation, but it was difficult to get rid of the high fever, and he was transferred to the general ward after the condition stabilized.

Because he just woke up, he could only eat a little liquid food, but Li Xi found that he began to stare at him occasionally, and there was a rare dependence in his eyes, which he would never see in his eyes. .

It was a feeling of being needed, Li Xi's heart was soft and messy, as if a sweet and astringent warm current was flowing from his heart, he couldn't help but teased him and kissed his face: "Is this fun?"

Chu Yan ignored him, completed the last piece of the puzzle in his hand, and then shoved it all in front of him: "You'll know by playing around, and I'll give you a time."

After he finished speaking, he actually took out his phone and turned on the timer. Seeing Li Xi's reluctance, he thought it was quite interesting, so he lowered his head and smiled.

Encouraged by his smile, Li Xi instantly seemed to have found endless fun in this boring game. After completing the puzzle, he looked at the time, which was exactly half an hour.

When he looked up, he found that Chu Yan had fallen asleep at some point, Li Xi couldn't help but smiled, feeling calm and warm like never before.

Ding

At this moment, the phone suddenly sounded a message alert tone, and Li Xi clicked on the screen to open the email and read it.

It was a long test sheet, Li Xi was stunned for a few seconds, and then stood up from the chair.

He moved too much, and his knees knocked the chair down and slammed it on the floor with a muffled sound. Chu Yan was awakened by him, but suddenly Li Xi leaned down and hugged him while he was wondering.
