After Xu Wan got up with strong willpower, he went to the bathroom and took a hot bath, and then he felt that the tight muscles all over his body relaxed a little.
She put on loose clothes, a mask and a hat. As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw Ruan Chen sitting on the sofa waiting for him, wearing white short-sleeves and jeans.
Xu Wan thought for a while and turned back.
Ruan Chen's face is even more eye-catching than hers when he walks out, so he has to hide it.
Xu Wan walked up to Ruan Chen and handed him his hat and mask: "The sun is quite bright outside, how about you..."
Before she finished speaking, Ruan Chen had already taken them and put them on one by one.
Xu Wan coughed and said seriously: "Let's go."
It was just after noon, there were not many people in the community, and only the sun was shining brightly.
Xu Wan suddenly regretted running out at this time. In fact, it didn't matter if he waited until night...
She had just taken two steps when her wrist was pulled.
Before Xu Wan could react, the person was already under the shade of the tree.
Ruan Chen's voice came: "Go inside."
Xu Wan said "Oh" and just when he was about to take his hand back, Ruan Chen led her forward.
After walking a few steps, Ruan Chen said, "Is it hot?"
"……fine."
Walking under the shade of the trees, the occasional gust of wind blows, which is quite cool.
Ruan Chen didn't say anything else and didn't let go of her hand.
When they arrived at the pharmacy outside the community, Xu Wan stopped and said to Ruan Chen, "I'll go in and buy it. Just wait for me here."
"Can't we come together?"
Xu Wan responded quickly: "I remember there isn't much toothpaste left. Go buy two, and then we'll meet here."
Ruan Chen heard this and nodded: "Okay."
Xu Wan waved to him, turned around and ran into the drugstore. After buying what he wanted, he randomly grabbed a few cold medicines.
When she came out again, Ruan Chen was already waiting there.
After returning home, Ruan Chen happened to have a phone call, so Xu Wan went to pour some water, unwrapped the tin foil and threw it into his mouth.
As soon as she picked up the water and drank it, Ruan Chen came over.
Xu Wan immediately tightened his grip on the pill box in his hand.
Ruan Chen picked up the medicine boxes in front of her and looked at them: "These are for coughs and high fevers. You should take something to clear away the heat."
Xu Wan laughed twice: "Yeah...yeah, I think they're pretty much the same. Anyway, just eat them and you'll be fine."
Ruan Chen looked at what she was holding in her palms, and then looked at several pill boxes that had not yet been opened.
He paused: "What kind of medicine did you take?"
Xu Wan put his hand behind his back without leaving any trace: "It's just... similar to those, cold medicine."
Ruan Chen held her hand, opened her palm, and took out the crumpled tin foil of the medicine box.
Seeing his face gradually darkening, Xu Wan whispered: "Emergency contraception is..."
"So did you eat it last time?"
Xu Wan nodded lightly.
Ruan Chen looked at her: "Why don't you ask me."
His gaze was so compelling that Xu Wan couldn't help but look away: "There's no need to ask you this, I just bought the medicine myself and took it..."
"I have taken safety measures."
Xu Wan: "?"
Ruan Chen looked at her and said word by word: "Last time and this time, we did it."
Xu Wan was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Ruan Chen took the tinfoil in her hand and threw it into the trash. His voice was a little cold: "In your eyes, am I the kind of person who is impulsive and irresponsible?"
"I did not mean that……"
She really drank too much last time and completely lost her memory of this procedure.
As for last night, I was groggy in the first half and confused in the second half.
She didn't pay attention either...
Ruan Chen said: "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest."
After speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Xu Wan took his hand and pursed his lower lip before saying: "I'm sorry, I really don't have that idea, I...I don't remember..."
When she spoke later, her voice was very low.
Ruan Chen didn't say anything, took back his hand and left.
Xu Wan stood there until the sound of closing the door was heard, and then he slowly lowered his head.
This seemed to be the first time in so long that Ruan Chen was angry with her.
Xu Wan looked at the pill box in the trash can, closed his eyes, and went to sit on the sofa.
The room is so quiet that you can hear the sound of the air conditioner operating.
She raised her head and looked at the ceiling, her eyes a little distracted.
I don’t know how long it took before the sound of the door opening came.
Xu Wan was startled for a moment, then slowly looked over, his throat suddenly feeling a little stiff: "Aren't you... gone?"
Ruan Chen walked to the dining table, opened the cold medicine he bought, mixed it with hot water, and then brought it to her: "This medicine is for clearing away heat. You will be fine after taking it and sleeping."
Xu Wan looked at him without saying anything, and his fingertips trembled.
Ruan Chen put the cold medicines she bought on the coffee table one by one: "Since I bought them this time, I must remember next time. Don't buy too many and pile them up at home. The medicines will also expire."
"knew."
I put the cold medicine against the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the temperature dropped in a short while.
Ruan Chen handed the water glass to her, and Xu Wan took it. It was still a little hot when she drank it, so she drank it slowly and in small sips.
When he was about to finish drinking, Ruan Chen's voice sounded: "Don't take that medicine next time."
Xu Wan paused for a moment while holding the cup. Before he could answer, Ruan Chen continued: "Unless you want a child at some point, I will take measures before then."
"Ahem——"
Xu Wan choked several times on the cold medicine.
Seeing that she was almost done drinking, Ruan Chen took the cup and put it aside, patting her back gently.
Xu Wan turned to look at him and said tentatively: "Aren't you angry anymore?"
"I'm not angry. Taking that medicine has serious side effects."
Xu Wan didn't say anything, feeling that he did something wrong.
She said: "I will discuss everything with you from now on."
Ruan Chen said: "Do you think the problem is because you didn't discuss it with me?"
Xu Wan was confused: "What else is there?"
"So you really don't remember anything?"
Xu Wan: "..."
She looked away and said vaguely: "Am I drunk? Then..."
He said unhurriedly: "Who said you were drunk enough to wake up, sister."
She didn't know if it was because of the large cup of hot cold medicine she had just drank. Xu Wan felt that her whole body was getting warm now. She sat aside and distanced herself from Ruan Chen: "Then...that's okay.
If I don’t remember, who would remember that kind of thing..."
Before Xu Wan could finish her words, she was pulled over by Ruan Chen, and she was forced to meet his gaze, with no escape from the guilt in her eyes.
Ruan Chen's eyes fell on her lips and his voice was low: "Are you sleeping?"
Xu Wan suddenly felt that he had never encountered such a difficult question to answer in more than 20 years.
After a long while, she hesitated and said: "How...how to sleep?"
