Chapter 139 Kiss
The woman who came in was Xu Shu!
I saw that it was her, and although I was embarrassed, I was not panicked. Whether to smoke or not is my own business. Xu Shu can make suggestions, but she has no right to interfere. But Xu Xin was shocked, and hurriedly hid the cigarette box and lighter in her hand behind her back, and said with a smile: "Sister, why... are you here?"
Xu Shu turned his gaze to his sister and said angrily, "Xiao Xin! Why are you so ignorant? Your brother Tang Qian must not smoke or drink during his recovery. You are harming him, do you know that?"
Xu Xin said in a panic, "I...I...ha, you guys chat, Xiaoying and I will go outside!" She didn't dare to look at her sister anymore and hurried out the door. Then Tang Ying poked her head in, smiled mysteriously at us, and quietly closed the door, leaving Xu Shu and I alone in the ward.
Xu Shu finally looked at me, with a look of blame and helplessness in her eyes. I stared at her calmly, puffing on my cigarette provocatively.
After a long while, Xu Shu sighed and sat down beside my bed. She reached out and took the cigarette out of my mouth, brushed off the long ash silently, and then put it back into my mouth. She said as gently as possible: "Tang Qian, listen to my advice. After you finish this one, don't smoke again, okay?"
I smiled and shook my head slowly.
There seemed to be resentment in Xu Shu's eyes. She sighed again and said quietly: "If Jingjing were here to persuade you to quit smoking, would you... still refuse?" While I took another puff, she took the cigarette from my mouth again and held it between her fingers.
I slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "Jingjing will never force me to do something I don't want to do!"
Xu Shu lowered her head and whispered, "Really?" Then she looked up at me again after a while, her eyes had become firm. She said, "Tang Qian, I'm not forcing you, but your body doesn't allow you to smoke now. For yourself and for Jingjing, you should take care of your body. You must try to get better soon, okay? I know it's hard not to smoke, especially for a heavy smoker like you. So, as a friend, I will try my best to help you. I will buy a lot of fruits and snacks for you to eat, so that you don't have to keep your mouth busy. If you feel bored, I can come to accompany you every day, chat with you, and tell jokes. If that doesn't work, I can also sing for you often. For your health, I am willing to do anything for you. As long as you can promise me to quit smoking, okay?"
After she finished speaking, she put another half cigarette into my mouth. But I didn't smoke it this time. I have never felt that the high and mighty Xu Daxing has such a gentle side. Her words moved me so much that I couldn't speak. It was also the first time that I felt that she was so good to me, even more than the relationship between ordinary friends. If I didn't have Jingjing in my heart now, I'm afraid I would not be able to help but say to her: "Marry me! I am willing to quit smoking for you!"
But when I thought of Jingjing, my heart darkened again. I knew I shouldn't have such wild thoughts. Jingjing was deeply in love with me, how could I be tempted by another woman? But no matter what, Xu Shu was once my dream and my favorite. I couldn't be indifferent to her.
I smiled and said, "Xu Shu, thank you! But you are going to the United States to make a movie soon, and this period is also very important for you. You also need to familiarize yourself with the script, learn English, and so on. This is the best opportunity for your career to develop greatly. Aren't you afraid of delaying it? So, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't want to drag you down because of me, so I'll just leave it to myself!"
Xu Shu saw that I was still unmoved after talking for a long time, and she became a little anxious. She suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "It is important to make Hollywood movies, but how can it compare to you? You are my... friend, you once risked your life to save me. If it is for you, I am willing to... give up!"
At that moment, I was so moved that I was completely confused. Xu Shu! Why didn't you tell me these words earlier? Why are you igniting my fantasies now? Don't you know that I once suffered for you? Do you still want me to suffer for you?
I suppressed my excitement and used a smile to hide my discomfort. I said, "You win! I can't stop you. Just quit smoking!"
"Really?" Xu Shu was so happy that she almost jumped up, and her face was full of beautiful smiles. She first snatched the remaining cigarette butt from my mouth, and then smiled and said, "Great! I... I will buy you something to eat right now. What do you like to eat? I will buy it for you!"
Seeing her excitement, I smiled bitterly and said, "Whatever! I don't have any other hobbies!"
Xu Shu stood up and said, "Then I'll go buy a bunch of them, you can pick them and eat them!" Then she walked happily to the door. Suddenly she stopped, turned around and looked at me with sparkling eyes, with an indescribable impulse on her face.
She hesitated for a long time, then suddenly turned around and knelt on my bed. I didn't understand what she was going to do, so I asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Shu leaned down and said in a very soft voice: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to destroy the relationship between you and Jingjing, I'm just too happy and want to give you...encouragement!"
As soon as I finished speaking, her soft lips kissed mine.
My head exploded like a bomb! My mind went blank and I was so shocked that I couldn't even breathe. Xu Shu just kissed me lightly on the lips and left immediately. She blushed and smiled shyly, "It's a secret! Don't tell Jingjing! You have to work hard, I believe you will succeed!"
After saying that, she immediately got out of bed, opened the door and went out, shouting, "You two, come with me to buy something, all of you!"
I was the only one left in the ward, lying stupidly on the bed, my head was a mess for a long time...
More than half an hour later, Xu Shu and her friends came back with four or five plastic bags. I took a look and had no idea what they had bought. I looked up at Xu Shu and found that she had returned to normal. She was smiling and opening the plastic bags one by one. My sister sat on the bed with a sly smile on her face and looked at me and said, "Brother! What kind of magic potion did Sister Xu give you? A super smoker like you is going to quit smoking? Oh my God! It's incredible! It's a miracle! If the sun rises from the west tomorrow, I won't be surprised..."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Will you die if you say less?"
Xu Xin also came over and said, "That's right! Brother Tang Qian is already feeling very uncomfortable, and you still want to ridicule him. You are so heartless!"
My sister said, "I was just expressing my feelings! Alas! It seems that no one can resist Sister Xu's charm!"
Xu Shu came over and smiled, gently tapped Tang Ying, and said, "Stop being poor!" Then he put the bag in front of me and said, "Tang Qian! Come and see what you like to eat?"
I noticed Xu Xin standing aside, looking at her sister with complicated eyes, as if she was worried. I sighed and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't have a craving for cigarettes now, so I don't need it!"
There were several bags of snacks and fruits, but I didn't eat them. My sister ate them without hesitation. Xu Xin grabbed a bag of potato chips and ate them bit by bit. Xu Shu sat next to me and chatted with me.
But my mind was not here at all.
I really don't understand what Xu Shu meant by that kiss just now? According to what she said, it was a kiss of gratitude and encouragement, without any feelings between men and women. But at most you can kiss my forehead! Kissing on the mouth will make anyone misunderstand! Although this is not the first time we kissed, this time is fundamentally different from the last time. Doesn't she know that this will bother me? Does she think that lip contact between men and women is very normal?
Xu Shu! What are you thinking? What do you want to do? Why did you come to provoke me when I accepted Jingjing?
My head hurts! At this moment, I miss Jingjing so much. Jingjing! You are not by my side, I am really miserable, I want to see you again! As long as I can be with you, all these troubles will be gone!
Seeing me in a daze, Xu Shu thought I was craving for cigarettes, so he grabbed an apple and asked me, "Are you starting to feel uncomfortable ? Then I'll peel a piece of fruit for you."
I forced a smile and said, "No need! I promised you that I would never smoke again. But I'm tired and want to take a nap. You all... go back!"
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he said "Oh" and said: "Then... I'll help you lie down!"
With Xu Shu's support, I lay down straight. Xu Shu covered me with a quilt, waved to his two sisters, quietly left the ward, and turned off the lights.
I was lying on the hospital bed but I wasn't actually asleep, but my mind was confused and I didn't know what I was thinking about. But as time went on, my eyelids began to droop. My body was already very weak and my spirits were not very good, so I fell asleep without realizing it.
That night, I had my first dream in the hospital bed. I dreamed that I was in a dense forest, holding hands with Jingjing, walking happily. I looked around to see if there was anyone around, so I immediately pressed Jingjing against a towering tree, gazed at her affectionately, and said to her, "Jingjing! I love you!"
Jingjing's face was filled with happiness and joy. She whispered shyly, "Me... too!"
My heart was pounding, and I lowered my head and kissed her sweet little mouth. We closed our eyes, sucked each other's tongues, and kissed passionately and selflessly...
It took us a long time to separate. I opened my eyes and suddenly found that the person in my arms had turned into Xu Shu! Her face was flushed and she whispered to me shyly, "This is a secret! Don't tell Jingjing!"
I was shocked and woke up suddenly!
I opened my eyes and found myself in the ward. It was pitch black in the room, and I could vaguely see a long-haired woman lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
I reached out my hand, wanting to push aside her loose hair to see who it was, but suddenly I found that my hand could move. I was delighted and put the bandaged hand in front of me. I thought, finally, I don't need someone to feed me anymore!
