Chapter 21 to the middle
Chapter 21: There were many people in the elevator
of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine . Li Wenyu and Pei Xin stood at the very back, close to the wall. Some people were talking loudly inside, some were crestfallen, some were in suits and ties, and some were disgraced.
Pei Xin frowned since he entered the elevator. The strong smell of inferior perfume mixed with the wet smell of rain made him feel sick to his stomach, so he simply buried his face in Li Wenyu's neck.
Li Wenyu's spine stiffened, and then he seemed to be pinched seven inches, unable to move. Fortunately, everyone was busy with their own business and no one noticed the two teenagers with different looks in the corner.
It wasn't until the elevator door opened that Pei Xin finally raised his head again. The two of them passed through the crowds before reaching the hospital gate. The still bright sky in the morning was gloomy, with thick clouds hanging low, and the rain curtain fell on the mottled ground, quickly forming puddles.
The broken hair in front of Li Wenyu's forehead was blown up by the wind and swayed back, and the rain also blew in obliquely and fell on his face: "You let Uncle Wang leave, how can you go back now?"
Pei Xin turned to look at him , with a happy expression: "Why should I go back? Didn't you take me to eat?"
Li Wenyu showed a little confusion again: "There is nothing you can eat near here. I have to come back to see grandma in a while, so I can't go too far.
Pei Xin raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, something I can eat?" Li
Wenyu paused for two seconds, as if he was trying to express his words, but in the end he chose straightforward words: "It's expensive, the most expensive here." There's only beef noodles, otherwise it's a box lunch. Do you want to eat it?"
Pei Xin nodded: "Eat."
Having no other choice, Li Wenyu sighed: "Then wait for me for a while. I'll buy an umbrella from the opposite side first and then come here to pick it up. You."
He pointed to a convenience store not far away, and then rushed into the rain curtain without waiting for Pei Xin to answer.
The rain was not heavy, but because it was winter, it hit his face with a cold chill. When Li Wenyu came back from buying an umbrella, Pei Xin was still standing at the same place. He stood at the foot of the steps: "Let's go and eat."
Pei Xin He didn't move, looking at him condescendingly.
Li Wenyu wiped the rain off his face and whispered: "What, don't you want to eat? It's okay, I'll take you to a taxi on the side of the road..."
"Wipe it." Pei Xin took it out of his pocket A handkerchief and a cool tone.
This time it was Li Wenyu who was stunned for a moment, then took it and wiped the water droplets from his face.
Pei Xin walked under the umbrella and took the handle: "Let's go."
The raindrops hit the umbrella with a muffled sound, and there was a quiet chill in the air. The two walked around and entered a small noodle shop. Because it was past dinner time, only the boss was left alone at the front desk.
Li Wenyu took the menu and guessed that Pei Xin had never been to a place like this before, so he wanted to order for him. He looked at it and asked, "Do you eat beef? If so, how about a bowl of beef noodles?"
Pei Xin asked. He nodded nonchalantly.
After ordering, Li Wenyu took out a few paper towels and wiped the table carefully, then threw it into the trash can under the table, which earned Pei Xin a teasing smile: "So particular."
Li Wenyu said. He curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid you'll dislike it."
Pei Xin propped up his face on the table with one arm and leaned closer: "Do you care about me so much?"
Li Wenyu became a little impatient: "If you talk nonsense again, don't eat."
Two bowls . The beef noodles were served quickly. Li Wenyu really didn't have much appetite, but because he was anxious to go back to see his grandma, he ate fairly quickly. Pei Xin ate slowly, with no expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he liked the food or not.
Halfway through the meal, Li Wenyu glanced at him and said, "Are you not used to eating? Why don't you make me a little jealous?"
Pei Xin found it very strange. Li Wenyu was too considerate to him today. the point. He smiled. He had known that spending a little money could make this person so humble. Why did he have to worry so much before? Thinking of this, Pei Xin only regretted that the money was spent too late and too little.
But the expression on his face was as usual. After thinking for two seconds, he smiled. The joy of success was hidden in his casual tone: "Then add some for me and I'll give it a try."
Li Wenyu didn't notice his expression and lowered his eyes in response. After saying hello, he added two spoons of vinegar before looking up again: "Try it again."
Pei Xin lowered his head and took a bite, and said with dignity: "Well, it's quite delicious."
Li Wen's eyebrows slightly curved. : "That's okay." He really couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his chopsticks and went to the front desk to pay. The young boss was sitting at the front desk, hunched over and playing games, with only half of his head exposed. Li Wenyu took two steps and touched his pocket, only to find that it was empty.
He paused and recalled that he was penniless when he left Pei Xin's house in the morning, and he forgot to get money from Li Teng when he went downstairs. Turning his head, he found that Pei Xin had put down his chopsticks and looked at him, his smile full of narrowness.
Li Wenyu knew from his expression that this man was waiting to see his joke, and he was furious. But at this moment, he had to ask Pei Xin for help. He sat down again, the embarrassment and embarrassment on his face had dissipated, and asked very calmly: "Do you have any money with you?"
Pei Xin leaned on the back of the chair and smiled. He looked at him blankly, but what he said was extremely frivolous and annoying: "You call me brother, and I'll treat you to this bowl of noodles. How about it?"
Li Wenyu's face turned a little red again, and there was a hint of anger in his voice. There was a hint of anger: "It's okay if you don't give it. Just sit here for a while. I'll go up to my aunt to get it." After saying that, he stood up and left. Pei Xin saw that he was really angry, so he laughed and held his wrist. : "I'm just kidding, it's just a bowl of noodles. Brother, please eat."
Li Wenyu looked back and stared at him, his expression still not good-looking: "Let go."
Pei Xin immediately released his hands and raised them in a gesture of surrender: " Let it go."
The two of them started walking towards the street after coming out of the noodle shop. The rain gradually became lighter, and the sound of hitting the umbrella was almost silent, but there were still very few vehicles on the roadside, and only a few taxis came and went. Less.
Li Wenyu waited eagerly for several minutes but no car came. However, Pei Xin was lazing beside him, as if he was not in a hurry at all. Li Wenyu looked at the foggy sky, sighed silently, handed the umbrella to Pei Xin, and said in a gentle tone: "Why don't you wait here, I'm going back to the hospital first, there should be a car soon. Come."
Pei Xin frowned: "It's raining."
Li Wenyu still insisted: "It will stop soon."
Pei Xin guessed that he was in a hurry to go back to see grandma, and pushed the umbrella he brought over. Go up first, I can get a taxi soon anyway." Li
Wenyu opened his mouth to speak, but Pei Xin walked out from under the umbrella and waved to him impatiently: "Let's go quickly."
He pursed his lips, and without further entanglement, he took the umbrella and left in the opposite direction.
He jogged back to the hospital, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Li Teng still teaching Ji He. Now that there were no outsiders, Li Teng's anger was completely released. Sitting by the hospital bed, Li Wenyu could hear what Li Teng said outside, and he knew that Ji He didn't go home last night either. My classmates played at KTV all night and didn't come out until they received Li Teng's call this morning.
Li Wenyu looked at her grandma's still calm face in ecstasy, her thoughts gradually drifting away. However, before she could think of anything, she heard the sound of rain falling outside the window. It fell with a crackle, leaving a string of transparent water stains on the glass window. .
Li Wenyu looked out the window and saw only a patch of green branches extending toward the sky. The sparse greenery was diluted and melted by the rain, and slowly flowed into the distance.
He blinked slowly, not knowing whether Pei Xin got a taxi.
