【77】The Sleepless Male Lion

*Modern paro (online game paro), some people drive smoothly, some people drive a roller coaster, and some people only start the engine without pressing the accelerator.

*Sick brother A is terribly sick & warm boy Ah Qi is terribly cowardly.

* Even if you say it, the other party may not necessarily know what you mean.

* Number one is number one, even if you have a fever, it will not change to zero.

? 29.

In the early hours of the morning, Xuanwu City in winter was bathed in heavy rain.Wu Liuqi and Qi were sitting on the sofa, the former was sharing interesting stories about his experiences with relish, while the latter was listening quietly.

"So that customer mistook soy sauce for—"

"Ah, uh..."

Seeing the other party sneezed, Wu Liuqi recalled that he had been caught in the rain not long ago, so he must be physically tired.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed."

So he said, and turned off the TV.

"It's quite cold today, do you mind sharing the bed with me?"

He walked into the bedroom and took out a thick quilt from the bedside table and gave it to the other party.Wu Liuqi is more afraid of the cold than anyone else, so it is naturally impossible for Qi to sleep on the cold floor in this rainy winter night.

Maybe Qi was really tired, and she didn't move for a long time after lying on the bed.He lay on the side, turned sideways to watch the other party fall asleep in seconds, and couldn't help being a little envious.

Wu Liuqi yawned, his eyes full of sleepiness.In fact, he was already tired, but he didn't want to close his eyes, and he didn't want to face the awakening feeling like being thrown into ice water.

Maybe later I can read the chat messages of the fans, or play a little stand-alone game, or listen to the late-night chatter, he thought to himself.

The warm quilt was so comfortable that people nostalgic, Wu Liuqi closed his eyes and spent a dreamless night after a long absence.

...

..

"Ah Qi, is the show open today?"

"It probably won't be open for a while."

"Oh? Why?"

"Oh, it's inconvenient to have some private matters at home."

Wu Liuqi chatted with the customers in the store familiarly.

"Did Seventh Brother not come here recently? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Yeah, I only saw him again yesterday, probably I'm busy these days."

"It rained so cold yesterday, I almost caught a cold."

"My child didn't bring an umbrella to school, and he came back soaked in water. It hurts me to see it..."

"Oh, buy a piece of ginger and go home and make tea to drink to relieve the cold."

Wu Liuqi heard what the guests said, and remembered what happened this morning.

morning.The chirping bird on the balcony twittered crisply, Wu Liuqi frowned, and wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes due to yawning.He opened his eyes and saw his face presented in front of him at a very close distance.

Wu Liuqi's breath stagnated, and the remaining drowsiness was completely frightened away.

After a few seconds, he took a deep breath, and his reconnected brain quickly denied the absurd idea of ​​"I'm out of my body."

Wu Liuqi moved his body to get up, but found Qi's bracelet around his waist.He tried to get up quietly so as not to wake people up, and suddenly his hands tightened a little, bringing their bodies closer together.

He really didn't want to panic, but Qi's lower body was against his, and it also unnecessarily let him know that some parts of the other party would be energetic in the morning.

"Ah Qi, Ah Qi! Get up!"

In order to end this embarrassing situation early, Wu Liuqi had to reach out and shake the opponent's shoulder vigorously, but only got a low muffled grunt from the opponent and a tighter hug.

"It's so heavy, are you trying to crush me to death?"

Shit!This punk fell asleep stupidly!Wu Liuqi anxiously twisted his body and pushed his elbow away from the opponent.

"No... I like you."

Qi replied like a dreamer.Wu Liuqi was stunned for a moment, he raised his eyes, and was surprised to find that the other party's opened eyes were looking at him blankly.

"you..."

He stretched out his hands and pressed them against the other's cheeks, which were hot and a little red.

"Let go first!"

He exerted force and pushed the opponent's face far away, and then withdrew from the loose arms, and fell off the bed due to the momentum.

With lingering fear in his heart, Wu Liuqi held his crazily beating chest and panted heavily.He decided to bury the embarrassing incident of his sons' meeting just now at the bottom of his memory and never mention it.

"You have a fever, take a good rest and don't get up."

He tidied up his emotions, turned around and pulled the quilt back up for Qi.Wu Liuqi vaguely remembered that there was a first-aid kit prepared by the big security at home, and there might be antipyretics in it, so he got up and walked to the living room.

? 30.

Looking at Wu Liuqi who walked out of the dormitory, Qi felt a sense of ironic frustration at the fact that her confession that she blurted out unintentionally was treated as nonsense when she had a fever.

At least I didn't get hated, I should be content.Qi comforted herself.Then he got up and wanted to get out of bed, but found that his body was weak and his mind was still groggy.

He really has a fever.

"Let me see, it seems that we should take the temperature first? Or should we confirm consciousness first?"

He saw Wu Liuqi walking back with a small box in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, murmuring words, obviously inexperienced in taking care of patients.Qi was sure that he heard the flushing of the bubble cap.

After some research, Wu Liuqi gave him a thermometer and asked him to hold it under his arm.He wasn't sure if he should tell the other person that it was actually a rectal temperature.

Then Wu Liuqi boiled another pot of water and placed it beside the bed for him to rehydrate.Qi placed the cup of hot water handed by the other party on the bedside, intending to let it cool before drinking.

"You can't take antipyretics on an empty stomach, just wait."

Wu Liuqi said after reading the package, and then walked out of the room with the pill in one hand and the medicine box in the other.

Qi actually wanted to tell the other party that there was no need to do these things, but seeing Wu Liuqi concentrate on researching with his mobile phone, he dismissed the idea.It might not be a bad thing to be soft once in a while.

So he lay down and closed his eyes obediently.

Dream, long lost dream.About childhood, about parents.About his envy of other children who can act like a baby to adults, about how he finally found out that there is nothing to be gained by crying, and about his getting used to being alone.

Not a particularly sad dream, nor a particularly happy one.Just plain, his childhood.

...

..

He opened his eyes and looked around the empty room.The clock on the wall pointed to three, the window was opened a small slit to allow the breeze to enter the room, the thin curtains were raised from time to time, and the sunlight dappled the floor.

Qi looked at the stool next to the bed, on which were cold porridge and antipyretics, and a note was left beside it.

"I have to open a shop, remember to eat porridge first and then take medicine"

He felt a headache, his thoughts were so chaotic that it was difficult to think, and his whole body was sore as if he had been thrown into the washing machine to take off the water.After indiscriminately swallowing the porridge and medicine, he lay back down again, letting his tiredness sweep away his consciousness.I hope I don't have any more dreams this time.he thinks.

Let him sleep peacefully.

? 31.

Wu Liuqi finished collecting the stall quickly, and put the wrapped porridge, clear soup, and a few pieces of ginger into the bag.

When he got home, he put the dinner on the table first, opened the bedroom door lightly, and the corridor lights slipped in together, casting a beam of light in the dark room.The evening wind lost its warmth after sunset, and it was chilly blowing into the room, so Wu Liuqi stepped forward and closed the window tightly.

He looked at the bed with the dim light, the stable and undulating quilt was huddled by the corner, and the person inside was facing his back, as if he was still in a deep sleep.

Qi's breathing sound was loud, mixed with some unsmooth noises.Wu Liuqi half leaned onto the bed, and reached out his hand to the other's forehead to check the temperature, but his closed eyes suddenly opened, making his hands tremble in fright.

"Ah Qi, you—uh,"

Wu Liuqi thought he was awake, but the hand that was about to withdraw was suddenly pushed, causing him to lose his balance and fall on the bed.Qi rolled over and pressed him up, so he was pressed against the wall with his body.

"Fuck the street... As for being so angry about getting up—"

Wu Liuqi was dizzy by the sudden movement, and subconsciously squinted his eyes.After finally stopping, he complained and opened his eyes, only to find that the gaze cast by the person in front of him was different from usual.

Normally, Qi's eyes are warm and moist, although they are not enthusiastic, they are never cold.Like a stone that has been exposed to the sun in the afternoon, it has a bit of perseverance; but now the pair of dark red and bright are chaotic and out of focus, but they are as sharp as swords that have been opened, staring straight at him, and he can see Heart flustered.

"... Ah Qi?"

Wu Liuqi was a little nervous, he swallowed his saliva ignoring his rapid heartbeat, and tentatively called out people's names.

Qi's head leaned against his neck, and Wu Liuqi's warm breath hit Wu Liuqi's skin, making him itchy.He also felt a hand reaching into his shirt restlessly, rubbing his back.

Damn, is this person so stupid that he's turned around?Wu Liuqi froze in place, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him.A mouth suddenly bit his neck, so frightened that he almost couldn't hold back the urge to yell that the corpse had changed.

"Wow, Qi! Stop it—...huh?"

While he was still panicking about the next development, the other party had already stopped moving.The hands around his body hung there limply as if the power had been cut off suddenly, and there was a steady exhalation sound from the head resting on his neck.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha... I'm scared to death."

Wu Liuqi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he laughed dryly a few times, feeling that he was not scared to cry but was also scared to be stupid.

Wu Liuqi swears that when this Pujie boy is healed, he will definitely be forced to eat a big bowl of chili noodle soup.

...

..

Qi woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a little thirsty.

He dreamed again, dreaming that Wu Liuqi made a big bowl of beef offal, the kind he especially likes to eat.After taking a few mouthfuls, it suddenly turned into chili noodle soup. He hurriedly looked for water to drink, and then woke up.

Not a nasty dream, he liked it.

Qi sat up, and the fever had mostly subsided.He felt that his head was much clearer, and his body was still a little sore, but he was much more comfortable.Seeing the few gleams of light coming through the half-closed door, Qi turned around to get the water by the bed.

"Um..."

A small muffled hum came from beside her, and Qi realized that Wu Liuqi was lying curled up beside her, her jacket was still a little messy, and half of her waist was exposed.

He frowned, suddenly feeling astonished that the world line had changed when he woke up.

...was he waking up the wrong way?
