After Lin Qingyue finished speaking, she looked at me with an embarrassed face. Maybe she knew that this was a very embarrassing request.

Because I am a man, let alone the fact that I have to take her to the women's bathroom, I can't possibly accompany her when she goes to the bathroom, right?

When I was thinking hard, I accidentally saw a female nurse in the distance who was helping people change needles, so I said to Lin Qingyue: "How about... how about I find a nurse to take you there?"

"Okay." Lin Qingyue nodded.

So I got up and went to find the female nurse. She was young, probably in her twenties. After she finished changing the needle, I stopped her and told her my request.

The female nurse said to me with a strange look on her face: "What is your relationship with that girl?"

"We are friends, that's why it's inconvenient." I scratched my head and said.

Perhaps it was the first time the young female nurse encountered such a request, and she couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Well, she is a patient...can you help me?" I begged.

The female nurse seemed to be awakened by me and realized that this was not too embarrassing. Moreover, it seemed to be her responsibility, so she nodded and said: "Okay, then I will help take her there."

After I thanked her, I took the female nurse to Lin Qingyue's bedside and said to Lin Qingyue: "I'll ask this nurse to take you there."

Lin Qingyue nodded and thanked the nurse. The nurse just smiled. After checking the intravenous bottle, she picked up the pole hanging the needle next to the bed and took her to the women's bathroom, while I was waiting at the door of the bathroom.

After about a few minutes, the two of them came out. The blush on Lin Qingyue's face had not faded yet. The female nurse was also a little embarrassed. After handing the pole to me, she felt relieved.

After I took Lin Qingyue back to the bed, she didn't sleep anymore, but her eyes were wandering.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked curiously.

Lin Qingyue shook her head and did not answer my words, but looked at me with a more complicated look.

I had no desire to continue exploring. My phone didn’t have much battery left. In order to wait for a smooth taxi ride, I simply stopped playing with my phone. I found a magazine from an unknown age in the newspaper column and opened it page by page.

Get up and wait for her to finish the infusion.

It wasn't until about two o'clock in the morning that Lin Qingyue completed the infusion. By this time, I was so sleepy that my eyelids were shaking.

"Are I taking you home?" I asked her.

My idea was very good. Since I had already stayed at her house last time, it would not be so embarrassing to go there again this time. Although the two of them live under the same roof, they at least live in two separate rooms.

Lin Qingyue shook her head and said with some embarrassment: "When I went out, I didn't take my home key with me."

I was stunned and asked, "Aren't your keys strung together?"

"If this were lost, wouldn't everything be lost?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What she said made sense, but I felt something was wrong...

"Then we can only go to the hotel." I said.

Lin Qingyue nodded and said: "Then let's go."

…

After I booked an apartment hotel online, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem: I didn't bring my ID card.

I told Lin Qingyue about this, but she stared at me and asked, "Have you thought about it a long time ago? That's why you don't bring your ID card when you go out?"

I scratched my head in embarrassment, and then said: "I'll use your ID card to get a room. You can live alone. I'll find an Internet cafe for one night."

Lin Qingyue didn't say anything, just nodded.

I booked an apartment hotel, so the hotel room was in a residential building in the community, and the hotel reception desk was in the bunk below the community. I didn't take the initiative to check in this time because I used Lin Qingyue's ID card.

, so I asked Lin Qingyue to handle it.

After waiting outside for a while, I saw Lin Qingyue coming out and told me that the check-in procedures had been completed.

So I told her: "If you need anything, please call me. I will find a mobile power bank to charge later. I have not muted my phone. I will receive it as soon as you send a message."

After explaining this, I waved to her and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave first. Contact me if you have any questions."

Without waiting for her answer, I turned around and walked forward, already thinking about how to spend this difficult night.

But at this moment, Lin Qingyue stopped me and called out: "Zhou Jing!"

"Huh?" I turned around and looked at her with some confusion.

Lin Qingyue bit her lip tightly and frowned. She seemed to be having a "war between heaven and man" in her heart, and she didn't speak to me for a long time.

"What's wrong?" I asked again.

When I asked this question, Lin Qingyue's inner struggle seemed to have settled. She said to me: "Come up with me."

I was stunned, but this time she didn't give me a chance to ask questions, but turned around and walked into the community first.

After a slight hesitation, I followed her footsteps...

We were silent during the journey from passing the complex's access control to getting on the elevator.

In the elevator, the atmosphere seemed extremely awkward. I knew what it meant for Lin Qingyue to let me go up. It meant that she and I would spend the night in the same room, not to mention that we were not boyfriend and girlfriend, even if we were just

Ordinary friendship also feels inappropriate.

I felt anxious and a little excited for no reason. As the elevator got higher, my heartbeat seemed to be getting faster.

"I am a gentleman! I am a gentleman..." I kept reminding myself in my heart.

Just when I was struggling in my heart, the elevator door opened and Lin Qingyue left the elevator first, so I had to follow her footsteps and stopped thinking about myself.

After we found the corresponding room, Lin Qingyue opened the door with the room card. What greeted us was a single bed that was not very large, followed by some ordinary hotel objects. In fact, this was okay, but when

After I closed the door, the ambiguous atmosphere became thicker.

I looked at the bed, and then said to her in a rather solemn tone: "I won't cover myself with a quilt tonight. I'll try to sleep as close to the side as possible. You can just wrap yourself in the quilt and sleep..."

Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes at me and said, "Who wants to sleep in the same bed with you?"

"Ah..." I was stunned.

Lin Qingyue pointed to the small couch beside her, smiled at me and said, "Of course you want to sleep on the sofa. At least it's better than sleeping in an Internet cafe, right?"

I smiled bitterly, feeling that what she said was indeed correct, but I did think too much.

I nodded and said, "Then give me a pillow. I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

"Um."

…

Since we didn't have a change of clothes, we didn't take a shower. We just simply washed up and then lay down each other.

Lin Qingyue slept for a while in the hospital, so she didn't seem to be sleepy at this time. Even if the lights were turned off, she was scrolling through her phone in the dark.

Since my phone's battery was already running low and there was no corresponding data cable in the hotel, I had no choice but to turn off my phone.

"Zhou Jing, are you asleep?" Lin Qingyue asked me in the darkness.

"No."

"Today...thank you." Lin Qingyue said to me as if it had been brewing for a long time.

I felt a little emotional, actually I didn’t know why, but just because Lin Qingyue called me, I took her to the hospital and took care of her all night.

Speaking of which, I felt a little baffled, but in my heart, I felt that there was nothing wrong with me treating her like this.

I smiled and said to her: "Then you can repay me by deleting the photos you took at my house last time."

"No." As soon as I finished speaking, Lin Qingyue refused.

"Damn it, you can't even do such a small request?" I wondered.

Lin Qingyue said to me seriously: "Except for this, anything else is fine."

"Then it's gone." I shook my head.

Lin Qingyue gave a slight "hum" and said to me: "This is what you said."

"Hmm... Or, let's really become friends?"

Lin Qingyue seemed to be stunned for a moment, and her speech was hesitant for a while. She could only hear her murmuring: "Friends? What... friends?"

"Just good friends." I repeated again.

"Actually, I have always wanted to be friends with you, but... you always seem to have a misunderstanding of me. In fact, we don't have any conflicts. The only conflict is the marriage contract, but I

I believe we will solve this problem." I said.

Lin Qingyue was silent for a moment and then said to me: "So you are so good to me just to be my friend?"

I was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Yes."

"Okay, then we are friends." Lin Qingyue said.

I don't know why I'm too sensitive, but I heard a hint of disappointment in her tone.

Before I had time to think about it, Lin Qingyue said to me: "It's getting late, go to bed quickly."

"Okay." I replied.

Maybe it was because I was too tired tonight, so I quickly fell asleep. Originally, my sleep almost lasted until dawn. Even if I had a dream, I would forget it when I woke up.

I am seven or eight years old, and I rarely have dreams that I can remember clearly, but tonight is an exception.

I dreamed that I and Lin Qingyue were together. We seemed to be unable to escape the shackles of the marriage contract and really became husband and wife. This was originally like a nightmare to me, as if I was about to fall into the "siege" of the marriage contract.

I went, and the person I was getting married to was not what I had in mind, but for some reason, I was filled with joy in my dream, as if this marriage was what I had always wanted.

As soon as the dream turned, we seemed to have arrived on a green prairie, and Lin Qingyue was wearing a white dress, dancing not far away from me, and I was calling her name: "Qingyue...

Qingyue..."

I shouted and rushed towards her.
