A knock on the door woke Aya up from her deep sleep. She wrapped herself in a quilt and huddled on the bed, not wanting to move.
But the knocking on the door stopped for a moment and then started ringing again. It seemed that she would not give up until she opened the door. In desperation, she had no choice but to drag her heavy body to open the door.
Chen Menglin stood outside the door, as if he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door. When the door opened, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air in front of the door. The action looked quite funny.
But Aiya doesn't have the energy to care about this now. She caught a cold last night and started to have a fever after midnight. Now she feels like she is on a steamer, and her five senses are about to spit out fire.
His legs were filled with lead, and he was too heavy to lift.
"Aya, what's wrong with you?" Chen Menglin originally asked her to go to the laboratory with him, but when the door opened, he saw Aya standing inside the door with a red face, but her lips were frighteningly pale, so he hurriedly asked
road.
"Let's go to the laboratory." Aya shook her head subconsciously in a daze, "I'm fine, I'm just tired."
"Then let's go to the laboratory!" The more Chen Menglin looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Aiya's face, so he reached out to her forehead with concern and tried it. He was immediately shocked, "Oh, your forehead is so hot, why?"
Are you still saying it’s okay?”
As he spoke, Chen Menglin couldn't help but push Aiya back into the room, let her lie down on the bed, and then covered her with the quilt.
"You have a good rest, I'll go find the doctor." Chen Menglin warned her, and then went out to find the doctor.
Aya was lying on the bed, her head was groggy, and she felt like she was not sleeping. She felt like a lot of people had come, and then she fell into a deep sleep. She slept very deeply. When she opened her eyes, there was a scene outside.
The moon has risen.
After sleeping this night, Aiya felt much better, and her high fever had gone down a lot. However, her body was still limp and she had no strength at all. She struggled to get up several times, but failed to get up.
Turning her head to look, she realized that there was a shelf next to her with a bottle of potion hanging on it. The light yellow liquid was entering her body drop by drop through a tube.
There was a slight chill.
Chen Menglin was sitting on the chair next to the bed, with his arms under his face. He seemed to be dozing off, snoring slightly.
Looking at his appearance, Aya felt warm in her heart. It seemed that he had been guarding her for a long time.
Except for her brother, no one has ever cared about her so much, and this time Chen Menglin's actions opened a gap in the door of her heart that was about to be closed, allowing the sun to shine in.
With a slight movement of her body, Aiya accidentally touched the pinhole on her arm. The pain made her moan uncontrollably, and this actually woke up Chen Menglin, who was nursing her at the bedside.
He was not deep in sleep to begin with. As soon as Chen Menglin heard Aiya's movement, he woke up from his sleep. He hurriedly let go of the arm holding his cheek and looked at Aiya who was lying on the bed and opened her eyes. He was surprised and happy, "
Aya, you wake up."
"How long have I been sleeping?" Aya's voice sounded a little hoarse, probably because she had just caught a cold. Even she sounded a little surprised.
"You've slept for two days and two nights." Chen Menglin said with a smile, then reached out to take off the wet towel on her forehead, then put it in the basin aside and threw it in, then twisted a new one and put it on Aiya
on the head.
When doing all this, Chen Menglin's movements looked very cautious, as if he was afraid of making Aiya uncomfortable, which was not at all the same as his rough appearance.
Aya felt her heart pounding. She had been studying alone for a long time, and she barely saw her brother a few times a year. She had not experienced this feeling of being cared for by someone for a long time.
"You lie down for a while first, and I'll go see if the meals for the patients in the cooking class are ready." Chen Menglin stood up as he spoke, but his legs were a little numb, maybe because he had been sitting for too long, so he swayed.
, almost fell down.
Aya asked with concern, "What's wrong, are you okay?"
Chen Menglin stretched out his hand to hold the table beside him and grinned at her, "It's okay, it's just that my legs are numb."
His funny expression fell into Aya's eyes, and she couldn't help it. She burst out laughing, and the room was filled with laughter like silver bells.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and then the cooking squad leader, a veteran soldier in his fifties, walked in with a large bowl of steaming noodles. He smiled as he walked, "Girl, it's time to eat."
"Old squad leader, I was going to the cooking class to find you, but I didn't expect you to come here first." Chen Menglin felt much better now. He couldn't help but grin, "The noodles are so fragrant."
"That's because I, Lao Wang, don't have any other skills. When it comes to making noodles, they are absolutely top-notch. I add green onion to the pot. When it comes out of the pot, I add some sesame oil and some coriander. I can't say how good it tastes." said the cooking squad leader, wrinkled.
Lei's face was filled with pride as he put the big bowl on the table in front of Aiya, then put the chopsticks into her hand, "Girl, try it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Aiya held the chopsticks in her hand and looked down at the hot noodles with two poached eggs nestled inside. She couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and two crystal tears fell down her cheeks.
The cooking squad leader panicked and asked at a loss, "Girl, why don't you like what I cook? Then I'll make you something else." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Aiya stopped him in a hurry, reached out to touch the tears on her face, and said, "Old monitor, it's not that I don't like it, I just think the noodles are too fragrant and I'm happy."
"Silly girl, this is just a bowl of noodles. If you want to eat it, the cooking team will make it for you." The wrinkles on the cooking team leader's face were all smiles. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the smoke pot from his waist, but then he remembered that he couldn't come here.
He smoked and stuffed the pot back into his mouth.
Aya lowered her head and swallowed the noodles. In the steaming mist, no one saw the tears on her face slipping down silently and dripping into the bowl of noodles.
After she finished her meal, the cooking squad leader left. Before leaving, he asked her what she wanted to eat next. Aya smiled and said she also wanted noodles. The cooking squad leader nodded happily and agreed again and again.
After eating the noodles, Aiya felt that she was more energetic, so she leaned on the bed and chatted with Chen Menglin. From his mouth, she learned that not only Tan Tianyou, Mu Yu and others had come to see her, but also Yan Bei
Feng and Luo Xiao also came, and even Mo Yanran, who seemed indifferent to everything in the past, actually came for the first time and stayed with her for more than half an hour.
As they were talking, Aiya suddenly fell silent. Chen Menglin said a few more words. Seeing that she was completely absent-minded, he thought that she was just sick and was too weak, so he told her to sleep for a while while he went back for the time being.
.
Now that he wakes up, there will be no problem for a while, and Chen Menglin doesn't have to stay in bed with him like this. He hasn't slept much since last night, so he can go back and have a good rest now.
After Chen Menglin went out, the house became quiet again. Only the electric lights on the roof were emitting bright light, illuminating Aiya's uncertain face at the same time.
