Chapter 5 The pale boy lying in the hospital 3
On the weekend, I got up early in the morning, washed up, put on a facial mask, and spent half an hour picking clothes.
Ye Jing had been leaning lazily on the bed, frowning as he watched me tossing and turning nervously for the whole morning. Finally, when he saw me sitting upright in front of the mirror combing my hair, he couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, Luo Huayin, what are you going to do today? Why don't I know what activities you are going to do today?"
I pretended not to hear and continued to comb my hair carefully, took off my myopic glasses and put on contact lenses.
After a while, I finally found a decent light brown velvet coat and a denim skirt that reached my calf from my closet. I gestured in front of the mirror and said, "Look, how about this?"
Ye Jing stared at me with his big eyes and didn't answer in a huff.
Why is this guy becoming more and more childish...
Not wanting to bother with him, I walked to the bathroom with my clothes in my arms and closed the door.
Ever since I got this thing, I can’t even change clothes in my room... After everything was packed up, I walked back to the room and put on my schoolbag.
"I'm going out. Do you want to go? If not, go back to the mirror."
"You think I want to go?" Ye Jing raised his eyebrows, shook his clothes elegantly, and stood up. "Then you guessed right, I want to go with you."
Not wanting to bother with him, I put on my schoolbag and walked out of the house.
"You've been getting dressed up all morning, where are you going?"
Ye Jing stared at me with his big eyes that were almost spitting fire.
...He is really getting weirder and weirder. Why does he keep asking me whether I dress up or not and where I am going?...
I looked at him speechlessly, said nothing, and locked the door carefully.
"Hey, Luo Huayin, if you don't answer, don't talk to me anymore!"
...What's wrong with you? You've even learned to say harsh words!
After locking the door, I pointed outside: "Where else can I go? Look who's over there."
Hearing this, Ye Jing looked back angrily in the direction I pointed, and then he was stunned.
"Xiao Xi? Why is he here?" He was stunned for a few seconds, "You want to go out with Xiao Xi? When did you make the appointment? I was always beside you and I didn't know anything."
"Sent a message." I waved to Ye Zixi who was standing at the gate of the community from a distance, then ran over briskly, deliberately lowering my voice to tease the silly translucent figure next to me, "Don't you want to guess what we are going to do today?"
Seeing that he still looked surprised, I burst out laughing and coughed lightly: "Go see 'you'! Stupid, today I asked Xiaoxi to take me to the hospital where 'you' are."
After I finished speaking, I ran to Ye Zixi and handed him a bottle of drink. "Why are you here so early? We agreed to meet at 9:30, and it's only 9 o'clock now."
"I don't like being late." Ye Zixi raised his chin proudly, then he looked at me and said, "You came out so early too."
Without saying anything, I just shrugged.
Should I say that I was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep because I was eager to see the “Ye Jing” lying in the hospital…
Ye Jing walked beside me quietly, which was rare. He had a complicated expression on his face and seemed to want to say something but hesitated several times.
In fact, I didn’t tell him because I was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to accept it for a while and would oppose me letting Xiaoxi take me to the hospital.
But fortunately, his reaction was much smaller than I expected. If I had known this, I would have told him clearly about our plan in the morning.
All the way to the hospital, Ye Jing behaved exceptionally quietly. He stared at us with his big, dark eyes without saying a word as we chatted. There was a bit of obvious confusion on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t ask Ye Zixi what he was thinking in front of him, so I had no choice but to pretend that I didn’t see him.
The more nervous I was, the more I felt that this journey was too short.
It felt like just a blink of an eye and we were already at the hospital.
"Why don't you leave?"
Ye Zixi turned around and looked at me.
"I'm a little nervous." Looking at Ye Jing who had a conflicted expression next to me, I felt my heartbeat quicken.
"Why are you so nervous? My brother is not likely to get up and eat you. Besides, my mother is a very nice person. Since you are my brother's friend and you came to see him, my mother will be very happy too." Perhaps because my face was too ugly, Ye Zixi was in a rare good mood and patiently comforted me with a few words.
I clenched my clothes tightly with my hands hanging by my side and took a deep breath.
"Let's go!"
We have come this far. If we don’t go in, how can we see Ye Jing’s true current situation…
"Wait...well, I won't go. You go with Xiaoxi. I'm sleepy and I'm going to go back and have a nap." Suddenly, just as Ye Zixi and I walked into the hospital elevator and pressed the button for the floor where the ward was located, Ye Jing suddenly said something hurriedly beside me, without giving me any chance to react, and in the blink of an eye he dived into the mirror in my pocket.
This guy……
He actually backed out at the last minute.
I sighed silently with helplessness... There is no other way. If I were him, I might not be able to face "myself" lying in the ward... Who can do it easily?
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
"Nothing." I shook my head, watching the numbers on the elevator display screen jump up one by one, and couldn't help frowning.
The hospital is such a magical place. It has witnessed so many separations of life and death... Coming here always makes people's hearts heavy, and makes people feel that, except life and death, as long as they are alive, there is nothing that cannot be overcome, and everything can start over again.
I suddenly began to feel ashamed of the days when I was depressed because my classmates ignored me. I didn’t understand why I became timid because of those insignificant people and didn’t cherish and enjoy my own life.
After all, all the changes in me were brought to me by Ye Jing, and Ye Jing, such a wonderful person, is lying in this cold hospital... Unconsciously, my eyes became hot and I put my hand into my pocket to touch the mirror.
"If you don't have the guts, go home now."
In the mirror, Ye Jing's voice suddenly came out, sounding much softer than usual, as if he could sense the fluctuations in my heart.
I shook my head without thinking: "It's okay, I'm going."
"Huh? What did you say? " Ye Zixi, who was standing in front of me, looked back at me in surprise.
I looked at him and didn't answer.
There was more and more doubt in Ye Zixi's eyes. He looked at me for a while, said nothing more, turned around and continued to take the elevator quietly.
None of us spoke again.
"Ding--"
The number on the display finally jumped to 17, and the elevator door slowly opened.
Ye Zixi walked down ahead of me: "We're here. Just walk a little further inside. My brother's ward is in 1706."
