Chapter 21 Chapter 21
The front desk of the hotel had already received Qiao Ruige's order. Luo Yuchuan and Jiang Miao took the room card and went upstairs to the room.
As soon as the door was opened, the two heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Jiang Miao ran over in a hurry, "Wu Xia", he shouted while pushing the door, the bathroom door was unlocked, it opened as soon as he pushed, Luo Yuchuan was following Jiang Miao, but stopped now.
He didn't know what was going on inside, he and Wu Xia had only met once, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he rushed in rashly.
And Jiang Miao had already entered the bathroom, startled by what she saw.
Wu Xia leaned back in the bathtub, the cold water from the shower head kept hitting him, his whole body was soaked and shivering uncontrollably, his face was pale, and his lips were almost bloodless.
Hearing the sound, he turned his head towards Jiang Miao with difficulty, Jiang Miao hurriedly stepped forward to turn off the nozzle, and supported him: "Wu Xia, how are you?"
After being continuously washed by cold water for nearly an hour, Wu Xia felt chills all over his body, his limbs were still weak, but his mind was fully awake. He moved his lips slightly, but did not make a sound.
Jiang Miao tried to help him out of the bathtub, but Wu Xia couldn't do it himself, and Jiang Miao was not strong enough, so he tried twice but failed, but Jiang Miao's clothes were also wet.
Jiang Miao couldn't handle it by himself, so Jiang Miao had to come out to find rescuers. When he came out, he saw Luo Yuchuan standing by the bar pouring a glass of water. He went over and said, "Senior, can you help me get him out?"
Luo Yuchuan didn't agree immediately, but asked him, "What's his situation?"
After Jiang Miao talked briefly, Luo Yuchuan handed him the glass of water in his hand and said, "Let him drink some water first."
Jiang Miao took the cup, feeling a little hot, and looked up at Luo Yuchuan suspiciously.
Luo Yuchuan said: "He's a bit hypothermic now, put some warm water in the bathtub and let him soak for a while, don't soak for too long, let him change his clothes after he can move his hands and feet."
"it is good."
Jiang Miao went into the bathroom again with the water glass, sat on the edge of the bathtub, and held Wu Xia's neck to feed him water.
Seeing Wu Xia drank the hot water little by little, his lips gradually returned to blood color, and his body gradually stopped trembling, Jiang Miao's heart finally fell to the ground a little bit.
Seeing Wu Xia's embarrassing situation at first glance, Jiang Miao was actually very scared. For no reason, he thought of the situation where he was sent to the first aid because of food allergies. He felt flustered. It was Luo Yuchuan's calm and calm attitude that comforted him, no, it should be said that it was for him gave him a sense of security.
Wu Xia drank the hot water and recovered a lot. Jiang Miao put the water cup on the washstand and said, "I'll put some warm water for you to soak for a while. I brought you clothes. I'll change them for you later?"
Wu Xia nodded, Jiang Miao bent down and plugged the cork in the bathtub, turned on the shower head and turned up the water temperature.
Wu Xia sat up a bit, Jiang Miao looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you need me to undress you?"
Wu Xia shook her head: "I can."
Jiang Miao took the water cup and walked out, closing the bathroom door.
Luo Yuchuan was still standing by the bar with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. Hearing his voice, he raised his head and looked over. Jiang Miao walked over. He had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to tell Luo Yuchuan, but Luo Yuchuan raised his hand. Cigarette case, turned around, opened the door and went out.
Jiang Miao was stunned for a while, then walked slowly to the bar, put the water glass on the bar, feeling empty inside.
It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night, the hotel corridor was very quiet, the floor was covered with thick carpets, Luo Yuchuan walked over without even a single sound of footsteps.
When he came to the window at the end of the corridor, Luo Yuchuan opened the window halfway, and the night wind rushed in with a trace of rain, and the light of lightning flashed in and out of the sky, and it didn't know where it had already rained.
Luo Yuchuan took a cigarette out of the cigarette case, but didn't light it. He lowered his head and stared at the brightly lit night outside the window in a trance.
The dark clouds in the night sky were getting thicker and thicker, occasionally a flash of lightning flashed by, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance.
Many things happened on this day. For him and Jiang Miao, it should have been a memorable day. He was full of joy in his heart, but...
"Have you always been this calm?"
"How can you be so calm? Because it wasn't your friend who had the accident?"
"I'm not as sensible as Mr. Luo..."
Luo Yuchuan seemed to hear Jiang Miao's voice again, and he closed his eyes slightly.
To be fair, Jiang Miao's words were at best a sarcasm, not too hurtful. Considering the situation at the time and Jiang Miao's mood, these words had a reason, and Luo Yuchuan would not have suffered. hurt.
He just suddenly remembered that a person had said similar words to him many years ago.
"Luo Yuchuan, are you heartless?!"
On a rainy night, Fang Xingyuan was thoroughly drenched by the heavy rain, and his usual image of his hair not messy was left in a state of distress, even a little panicked.
"I'm not you, Luo Yuchuan. I'm human. I have feelings. I have normal needs and desires. Why can't I find someone else for what you fucking can't give me?"
He shouted at Luo Yuchuan, so excited that he split several sounds.
In the rain curtain, his face was pale and his expression was stern, like a ghost.
In the end, he stared at Luo Yuchuan almost with hatred, and said through gritted teeth, "You can go to the grave with your calmness and reason! You cold-blooded animal!"
"Crack!" A thunder exploded on the roof, and the black clouds that had accumulated for a long time finally turned into rain and poured down.
Luo Yuchuan twitched his fingers and recovered himself.
He has never compared Jiang Miao and Fang Xingyuan, and he even knows in his heart that he has done things to Jiang Miao that he would never do before, such as inviting the other party to his home, fearing that he will not agree, and pulling out "computer configuration" Good" Such a childish reason.
But certain tempers are engraved into the soul, just like the rational coldness he always upholds at critical moments, and he is afraid that he will do something that will hurt Jiang Miao because of these rational coldness.
Are cold-blooded animals...
Luo Yuchuan held the cigarette in his mouth, blocked the wind with one hand, lit the cigarette with the other and took a puff, exhaling the smoke heavily.
The rain was so fierce and urgent, Jiang Miao walked to the window and looked at the rain that had blurred the shadow of the lights outside, and couldn't help worrying secretly.
It's getting late, and the rain is so heavy that it's not safe to drive, but Luo Yuchuan has been busy for so long, so he can't keep it from letting people go home.
Or, just open another room in the hotel for Luo Yuchuan to rest, that is... Jiang Miao touched his body, came out in a hurry, and didn't bring his card, but he could pay with WeChat on his mobile phone, but the card bound to WeChat was the only one. After paying the rent, I don't know if it is enough to pay for one night's room.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of water in the bathroom. Jiang Miao hurried to the bathroom door, knocked on the door, and asked, "Wu Xia, are you okay?"
After a while, Wu Xia said "hmm", and Jiang Miao said again, "Are you okay?"
"Okay." Wu Xia's voice sounded weak.
"I put your clothes at the door, can you do it yourself?"
"can."
Jiang Miao went to fetch the bag of clothes and hung it on the doorknob of the bathroom, knocked on the door again and said, "Take your time, I'll go and tell the senior."
When Jiang Miao came out, he saw no one in the corridor. Just as he was wondering, a gust of wind blew from the side of the corridor, carrying a faint smell of smoke.
Jiang Miao walked towards the direction of the wind, turned a little corner, and saw Luo Yuchuan standing by the window smoking a cigarette.
There were thunders outside the window, and the rain was blown by the wind and drifted across the window. Luo Yuchuan was standing by the open window. Jiang Miao could only see half of his face clearly, but felt the tiredness and loneliness on his body. .
Jiang Miao stood quietly for a while, watching Luo Yuchuan smoke slowly, and slowly exhaled the smoke. The white smoke floated into the rain curtain and disappeared instantly.
Jiang Miao felt sore in her heart.
Just now he felt that he had a lot to say to Luo Yuchuan, but now he couldn't say anything.
Very sad.
Today, oh no, it should be yesterday. I saw that blurry desktop photo on Luo Yuchuan's computer yesterday. At that time, I felt like I won the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.
Although he had never bought a lottery ticket or won any prize, he guessed that the excitement and excitement were nothing more than that.
Without much hesitation, he changed his personal photo and asked, "Senior, do you mind?" It was tantamount to a confession.
It's clearly going in a good direction, isn't it?
He was so impulsive that he didn't choose what to say, this matter had nothing to do with Luo Yuchuan, if it wasn't because of himself...
Jiang Miao lowered his head. He had already said sorry, but now he felt that this sentence of sorry was just like the question he blurted out before, irresponsible, flirtatious, and not distracted.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Luo Yuchuan coughed, wondering if he had choked on the smoke.
Jiang Miao walked up quickly almost subconsciously, raised her hand and patted Luo Yuchuan's back.
Luo Yuchuan seemed startled, turned around abruptly, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Jiang Miao, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.He pulled the window back and closed it, then went to the side and put out a cigarette on the trash can in the corridor, then turned to look at Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao still raised her hand halfway, now she also felt embarrassed, slowly put down her hand, and forced a smile: "He's already healed."
Luo Yuchuan nodded.
Jiang Miao said again: "He is changing clothes."
Luo Yuchuan looked at him and said nothing.
Jiang Miao sighed secretly, as if she was looking for something to say.
Luo Yuchuan looked out the window and said, "Go in and accompany him, I'll go out and buy some medicine."
Jiang Miao was puzzled: "Buy medicine?"
Luo Yuchuan put the cigarette case and lighter into his trouser pocket, and said, "He drank cold water for so long, he might catch a cold and have a fever, so it would be better to take some medicine to prevent it, or...do you have any medicine for yourself?"
Jiang Miao shook her head in embarrassment.He and Wu Xia live together, and they are both people who are not very good at taking care of themselves. Usually, if they have a headache, they have to deal with it by themselves. If they can't bear it, they will go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine.To say that there are medicines at home, which are his anti-allergic medicines.
Luo Yuchuan raised his chin in the direction of the elevator: "Then I'll go buy some, you go in first."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Miao grabbed his wrist urgently: "It's raining so much now, where do you buy it?"
Luo Yuchuan looked down at Jiang Miao's hand, did not move, took out the car keys with the other hand, and said, "When I came here, I saw a 24-hour convenience store nearby. Go there and take a drive."
Jiang Miao let go of her hand embarrassingly.
He just let go of his hand, but Luo Yuchuan immediately held his hand back.
Jiang Miao was taken aback.
Luo Yuchuan also seemed to be taken aback for a while, and quickly let go of his hand, and said flatly, "Wait for me to come back."
When Jiang Miao returned to the room, Wu Xia had already changed and came out to lie on the sofa.
Jiang Miao poured another glass of warm water and handed it to Wu Xia.
Wu Xia sat up, took the water, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Jiang Miao sat down beside him. Wu Xia's complexion had recovered a lot by now, and her lips had turned rosy, but her eyes were still a little dazed.
The two sat quietly, neither of them spoke, only the sound of the rain outside the window was heard.
What happened tonight has become an embarrassing unspeakable secret.
One refused to say.
One dare not ask.
Luo Yuchuan got into the car, and before starting the car, he sent a message to Qiao Ruige.
"People received it."
After a while, Qiao Ruige made a full stop.
Luo Yuchuan understood Qiao Ruige's temper, and replying with a full stop meant that he knew it, and he was still somewhat displeased.
It's normal to be unhappy after being disturbed all night, but Luo Yuchuan doesn't intend to go along with him.
"Just leave people like that, you're not afraid of accidents?" Luo Yuchuan sent another message.
Even if he guessed that Qiao Ruige wanted to help Wu Xia lessen the effects of the medicine, but just throwing him in the bathtub with cold water and leaving him alone, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a prank.
Isn't it the one you're chasing?So merciless?
Soon, Qiao Ruige's message came back: "I can't die."
Luo Yuchuan stared at the news, put down his phone, turned on the car, and drove out slowly.
Outside the VIP ward of a private hospital, Qiao Ruige put away his phone and smoked a cigarette.
To make him abandon the beauty who can eat immediately in that situation, unless something terrible happened.
Like tonight, it was a big deal for his grandfather, Qiao Mingshan, the current head of the Qiao Group, to suddenly faint and be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Fortunately, it was just a small stroke, and the rescue was timely. The old man is no longer in danger. It remains to be seen whether there will be sequelae.
For ordinary people, at this time, they should pat their chests and breathe a sigh of relief, sighing that it is good to be rescued.But for them, they can't rest assured.
With the status of Mr. Qiao and his age of 70 to 80, even seeing a doctor for a small cold will cause fluctuations in stock prices, let alone a highly dangerous disease such as stroke.
Even if he is rescued, will there be any sequelae, will there be hidden dangers left, and will he be able to preside over Qiao's work... Qiao Ruige can already imagine that tomorrow's news reports will be full of various speculations and worries.
He had already dealt with more than a dozen calls from various people who were concerned about or spying on him. He was so annoyed that he simply transferred all these calls to his cousin Qiao Xinda's secretary. Anyway, Qiao Xinda is Qiao's worry now. The successor of the heavy responsibility, it's fine to leave these things to him.
At this moment, Qiao Mingshan fell asleep in the ward, and Qiao Ruige persuaded his parents to go back. It's meaningless to stay here in the middle of the night, and it's the same if he is here to fulfill his filial piety.
The door of the ward opened, Qiao Ruige turned his head to look, Qiao Xinda withdrew, and closed the door of the ward.
Qiao Ruige took a puff on his cigarette and said, "Shall we make a shift?"
Qiao Xinda came over, adjusted his glasses, frowned and said, "Smoking is not allowed here."
Qiao Ruige shrugged and took another puff, obviously not paying attention to Qiao Xinda's words.
Qiao Mingshan has two sons, the eldest son died young, and the younger son has no career ambitions. Fortunately, there are two grandsons. Qiao Ruige is a fun-loving cousin, but his cousin Qiao Xinda is the opposite, strict and rigid. , loyal and conscientious to Qiao's, not to mention the outside world's reputation, even Qiao's internal, also believes that he is the best candidate to take over Qiao's.
Qiao Xinda raised his hand to disperse the smoke from Qiao Ruige, and said, "What were you doing when I called you?"
It was Qiao Xinda who made the phone call himself, and Qiao Ruige yelled and cursed at the beginning. At that time, Qiao Xinda didn't bother to argue with him, but it didn't mean he didn't pursue it.
"Ah, I didn't do it on purpose, brother, don't be too narrow-minded." Qiao Ruige said nonchalantly.
Qiao Xinda snorted: "Could it be that it disturbed your good business?"
Qiao Ruige raised his eyebrows: "Brother, you are so wise, nothing can hide from you."
Qiao Xinda still had a straight face, he knew exactly what kind of virtue Qiao Ruige was, and he didn't respond to this irony.
"I remember correctly, you just came back, didn't you have a good rest, are you in a hurry to have sex?" Qiao Xinda said sarcastically.
But Qiao Ruige seemed to have heard some praise, and said with a smile: "Isn't this in line with the personality of a dude like me? Brother, you are too serious, why bother, live like a monk. I don't know Curious, after my sister-in-law is gone, have you ever touched a woman?"
"Take it easy," Qiao Xinda put his hands in his trouser pockets, warning, "When the old man is hospitalized, I don't want to hear that you have another affair."
Qiao Ruige smiled and raised his hand: "Okay, you don't have to worry about that."
He turned around and walked to the ward: "I'll be guarding today, and you should keep your energy to deal with the media tomorrow."
Qiao Xinda watched him go to the door of the ward with heavy eyes and was about to push the door, and said, "Puff out the cigarette before going in."
Qiao Ruige clicked his tongue and threw the cigarette butt into the trash bin at the door.
The rainstorm came and went quickly. Luo Yuchuan basically stopped after buying the medicine. He picked up Jiang Miao and Wu Xia and delivered it to the community.
No one spoke along the way, Wu Xia needless to say, but Jiang Miao was also silent.
The car stopped at the entrance of the community. Jiang Miao said thank you and opened the door to help Wu Xia get out of the car.
Luo Yuchuan got down from the cab: "Do you want my help?"
Jiang Miao said, "No need, I can do it."
Luo Yuchuan didn't speak, and looked at him with a slight frown.
Jiang Miao supported Wu Xia with one hand, and carried the bag of wet clothes that Wu Xia had replaced with the other. Although Wu Xia was conscious, his feet were still a little weak. He was leaning on Jiang Miao at this moment, no different from when he was drunk that day. .
Jiang Miao said again: "Senior, go back quickly, it's too late, you have to go to work early in the morning."
Luo Yuchuan came over, took Wu Xia's arm, and said, "I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he knelt down and carried Wu Xia on his back.
Wu Xia was a little frightened, and struggled to get down: "No, no, I..."
Luo Yuchuan pulled his thigh up and lifted it up: "Don't move, it's too hard for Jiang Miao to help you up by herself."
After saying this, not only Wu Xia was silent, but even Jiang Miao didn't know what to say, so he could only follow behind silently, blushing quietly.
The old building they lived in didn't have an elevator. Although Wu Xia wasn't too heavy, Luo Yuchuan was still a little out of breath when he carried him all the way up to the seventh floor.
Jiang Miao secretly felt distressed when he saw it.
Luo Yuchuan didn't stay behind when he sent people to the place. When he drove home, he received a WeChat message from Jiang Miao on his mobile phone.
-Senior, thank you for your hard work, good night.
Luo Yuchuan hesitated for a while, and replied "good night".
In fact, he didn't know how to continue with Jiang Miao now, he was not reconciled to the sudden end of the beginning, but if he continued, he was afraid that the old things would happen again.
Jiang Miao quickly replied with a voice: "Senior, let me know when the time for taking pictures is set."
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing others, and he was a little uneasy.
Luo Yuchuan shook the phone firmly.What is he doing?Was Jiang Miao afraid of him for being so cautious?
He typed "OK" on the phone, deleted it, and dialed directly.
"Hello, senior..." Jiang Miao quickly picked up the phone with surprise and anxiety in her voice.
"When I make arrangements, I will discuss it with you in advance."
"Ah... oh." He sounded a little disappointed.
"Jiang Miao," Luo Yuchuan paused, and softened his voice, "I have a bad attitude today. It's not your problem. Don't think about it."
Jiang Miao groaned again, then fell silent.
Luo Yuchuan took a breath, and said again: "I...I need to adjust myself, this process may not be too fast, are you willing to wait for me?"
There was no sound from Jiang Miao on the other end of the phone for a while, and Luo Yuchuan didn't speak, just waited quietly, and finally he heard Jiang Miao say: "Senior, I won't wait for you, I will accompany you."
