When Gu Mengmeng woke up in the middle of the night, the seat next to her was empty.
She looked around in the darkness and saw the light peeking out from the crack of the bathroom door. She muttered that she was so smelly and fell asleep again. In her sleep, she went to soak in a hot spring, which was warm, wet, and sparkling.
The spring water enveloped her, which was quite comfortable at first, and she felt like she was still humming. But the water became hotter and scorching, and finally when she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go ashore, she found that she couldn't find the steps to go up.
The water kept heating up and bubbling. Her heart was beating fast, she clenched her neck and shouted...
"ah!..."
When I woke up, it was bright and clear.
She clenched her fists in the air and hesitated for a moment, then realized that she had had a dream. But why was the feeling in the dream still so obvious now? Was there something wrong with her senses?
As soon as I turned to one side, I noticed something was wrong.
Although Conway was still sleeping with her arms around her, his long, thick black eyebrows were already frowning. His long eyelashes cast a dark shadow under his eyelids, slightly greenish-black, and his face was red.
His forehead was covered with large beads of sweat. With the slight movement of his head, the sweat dripped down his cheeks. Some stayed on both sides of the tall bridge of his nose, and some trickled down his chin with a green beard.
Then he sank silently into the pillow.
The burning sensation she felt in her dream also found its source. It was not that there was something wrong with her senses, but that he was having a high fever.
"Kangwei!...Kangwei!" Gu Mengmeng pushed him.
The silk quilt slid down a little, revealing the perfect muscle lines on his chest and the pink scar that added a bit of masculinity.
He touched Gu Mengmeng's cheek with his hand, then closed his eyes and said, "Are you awake?"
The hoarse voice and physical discomfort made him suddenly open his eyes. He saw the worry and concern naturally revealed in Gu Mengmeng's expression, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
She tested the temperature on his forehead with her cool little hands, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and then she immediately sat up straight and got out of bed.
Conway grabbed her and took her to the bed, "Stay with me for a while, wife!" His magnetic voice, usually as deep as a piano, completely changed its tone, and his voice sounded like a drake.
Gu Mengmeng was ashamed and annoyed, so she kicked him.
"You have a fever and your brain is burned out?! If you don't treat the disease quickly, you are still thinking about this..." Before she finished speaking, her foot touched something cool and soft. When she lowered her head and looked at it, she couldn't help but
His face was covered with clouds.
I witnessed the madness last night, what was wasted by the two of them was said to be able to be sold for a big price...that...
Conway followed her line of sight and couldn't help laughing.
But the laughter only lasted half of it, before his body trembled violently, a look of extreme pain flashed across his face, and the hand holding her wrist reflexively tightened his strength.
Gu Mengmeng squealed and threw away his hand and jumped away.
"It hurts!...." Who is he? He is a special operations elite who can kill the enemy in an instant with only three points of strength. For a silly girl like her, she may only need to pinch her little finger, which is enough for her to bear.
Gu Mengmeng glared at him angrily, criticizing his evil deeds with her eyes.
Conway had a deep look on his face. He turned sideways and moved with difficulty before saying in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, wife. I made a mistake." He sat up and wanted to get out of bed to comfort his beloved wife, but was stopped by Gu Meng.
Meng stepped forward and pushed him down on the bed.
"Lie down, lie down!"
Wearing cotton pajamas, she began to hunched over and rummaged for something in the bedside table. Her delicate body, tiny movements, and annoyed sighs, in Conway's eyes, were the most precious existence in the world, home.
Feelings, the feeling of family, the feeling of lover, and the feeling of overflowing happiness.
"Found it!" She raised her head in surprise, then raised her red wrist and placed the antipyretic medicine and thermometer in front of him.
Conway looked at her quietly, then gently held her injured wrist and took her into his arms.
Her chin gently rubbed his forehead, "Silly wife, you know you feel sorry for me!"
"...."
"I'm not stupid." Gu Mengmeng raised her head and bit his chin.
Conway's eyes darkened, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, then hugged her tightly.
"Thank you, wife! Thank you for giving me your sincerity."
A wave of warmth surged through Gu Mengmeng's heart. She suddenly felt that this scene was very warm and intimate. It was the closest she had ever felt to Conway since they met. The word wife finally took root in her heart.
That day.
Father Gu failed to see his Mengmeng and his wonderful son-in-law again before his trip.
On the phone, Gu Mengmeng said: "Your son-in-law doesn't want to see you because he's sick!"
"Sick? Is it serious? Will it delay my daughter's lifelong happiness?"
The phone was snatched away.
"Reporting to the leader, Conway, the special operations captain of the 368** unit, assures you that the wedding will be held as scheduled and there will never be any accidents!"
"Okay! It's up to you."
"Yes, Chief!"
Gu Mengmeng still wanted to grab the phone to talk, but was cut off by Conway who was lying on the bed in the observation room of the hospital. He pointed to a person who had been standing outside the ward for a long time and said, "Look who's here."
Kang Qiao was dressed in a jet-black slim-fitting suit and stood outside the door with clear features. He held a food box in his hand and smiled lightly at the two people inside.
"You also know that you have a brother!" He came in with the door ajar and put the food box on the bedside table, with a hint of reproach and distress in his tone.
"Which one of us is following which one? Besides, I don't want my parents to know that I'm worried." His expression was unconcerned, as if being hospitalized by a doctor for treatment was a common occurrence.
Kang Qiao glanced at Gu Mengmeng, who had a calm expression, and asked: "What's going on? Wasn't the military parade quite lively?"
"It's okay, I just have a fever. You asked Mengmeng, right?"
Gu Mengmeng nodded and opened the lid of the food box.
Conway smelled the tangy aroma of the food, stared at it with salivation, and said with a salivating look on his face: "Laosanzhai's fennel stuffed dumplings! Hey... Brother, you are so interesting!"
Kang Qiao gave him a fist and laughed and scolded him: "Foodie!"
He looked at Gu Mengmeng again, pointed to another shallower food box, and said, "Mengmeng, that's a rice bowl, eat it while it's hot."
Kang Qiao didn't stay long. He asked Kang Wei if he could go home after the infusion, then said goodbye and left the hospital.
Gu Mengmeng opened the food box and was about to eat, but she was stunned.
Three dishes: braised pork, smoked fish with tomato sauce, stir-fried beans, and crystal clear grains of steamed dry rice. After one bite, she could taste the flavor of Jiuyunju next to the Fifth Ring Road.
To get to the hospital from there, you need to travel through most of Beijing.
