Yaru asked Lao Tan and Li Shuang if the sister Zhao she was talking about was the one she knew who sold clothes in Wuai Market and had visited Lao Tan at the original Rose Hotel.
Lao Tan said: "Yes, that's her."
Yaru asked: "Are you two still in contact?"
Lao Tan said: "We just got in touch, but we have been out of contact for ten years."
Yaru said "Oh" and then fell silent.
After a while, Li Shuang and Xiao Gao left, but Yaru didn't leave. She sat on the sofa and watched Lao Tan.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were sick?" she asked, looking angry or not.
"I'm afraid you'll be worried," Lao Tan said, sitting down next to her.
"This makes me more worried? And angry."
Lao Tan laughed.
"You treat me like an outsider, don't you?" Yaru asked.
"No, how can we do that?"
"How else?" Yaru glared at Lao Tan. She originally wanted to question him, but she couldn't be cruel. As soon as Lao Tan sat down next to her, her heart softened and she turned the conversation to Lao Tan's illness.
Said: "Tell me the truth, what is it like now?"
"You looked at it, it's fine, nothing happened." Lao Tan said, "I'm taking Chinese medicine for conditioning, and it's fine. I was seen by an old Chinese medicine doctor from Beijing. I've been taking it for four months, and my condition is basically under control. I don't have any symptoms."
If something unexpected happens, it will be fine in two or three years."
"From Beijing? Did Mr. Wang find it?" Yaru asked sensitively.
"Yeah." Lao Tan nodded.
"Did she serve you in Beautiful Valley?" Yaru asked again.
"Yes." Lao Tan nodded again.
"You two are now ------" Yaru asked what she wanted to ask.
Lao Tan laughed and asked, "Do you want to know how sick I am or how she and I are like?"
"We all want to know." Yaru said.
Lao Tan said he would tell you if he wanted to know, so he told Yaru the details of his illness, and finally said: "I didn't mean not to tell you, mainly because I wanted to keep my mind pure and was afraid of disturbing you.
I know you want to know about me and Wang Shulan, but you won’t believe me if it’s okay, and to be honest, I don’t believe it myself either.”
"That means something is wrong?" Yaru asked.
Lao Tan nodded.
Yaru said nothing and did not look at Lao Tan, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
At this time, Lao Tan didn't know how to tell her that he liked Wang Shulan? It didn't seem to be the case. There seemed to be no romance between him and Wang Shulan. Everything happened by coincidence and very naturally.
Say you don't like it? No.
The relationship between the two can no longer be described and defined in terms of likes and dislikes. It is difficult to describe the relationship between them in words. Tentatively, they are extraordinary siblings who go beyond friends.
Both of them were silent. Lao Tan wanted to smoke a cigarette, so he put his hand in his pocket. When he touched it, he remembered that he didn't buy cigarettes, so he smacked his lips habitually.
Although Yaru lowered her head in pain, she saw Lao Tan touching his pocket for a cigarette, so she got up silently, went to the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a pack of Lao Tan's old cigarettes.
Come over and hand the cigarette to Lao Tan.
"Stop smoking." She said, "You're not tired from riding in the car for a day. I've found some clothes for you and put them there. Wash and go to bed early. I'll be back."
After Yaru finished speaking, she walked out. When she reached the door, she turned around and said, "I'll have a rest tomorrow, so you don't have to go to the store to eat." After that, she went out.
Lao Tan stopped smoking halfway through his cigarette. He had been smoking for a long time and his throat was a bit spicy.
He got up and picked up the change of clothes that Yaru had prepared, went into the bathroom and took a shower, and then went to bed. But he did not fall asleep. This was the first time since he came down from the mountain that he did not fall asleep before ten o'clock, and he was still quite energetic.
He wanted to smoke again, so he got out of bed and walked to the sofa. When he took the half pack of cigarettes in his hand, he thought about the spicy smell on his throat and put it down again. He turned around and entered the kitchen. He opened the freezer and saw three bottles of yogurt inside. He thought for sure.
Shangguan Qingyuan bought it when he lived in this house, so he picked up a bottle.
I went back to bed and sat down, and drank two mouthfuls of yogurt. It was very cool and felt good in my stomach.
The comfort was addictive. He drank the rest of the yogurt, smacked his lips with unfinished content, and then wiped it with a tissue.
Yaru returned to her cabin, changed into pajamas, took a shower, and then went to bed to get ready for bed, but like Lao Tan, she couldn't sleep - she still felt uncomfortable.
It’s strange for people. When they hear something from other people’s mouths, they believe it in their hearts. However, they believe it half-heartedly, thinking that it might not be the case, so they want to wait until they meet the person involved to ask and confirm.
one time.
After seeing the person involved and asking questions, I feel uncomfortable once I get an exact answer.
Why? Because I care.
It is difficult to explain clearly that caring about someone, it makes people hurt, it makes people hurt, it makes people happy, it also makes people cry.
When a person is young, caring about someone is called love. It is a sweet love that reveals a small thought. When you reach middle age, experience the temper of life, marriage and family, and start to hide your inner feelings, caring about someone cannot be used.
To describe it, I really care about it, and sometimes I forget myself.
Yaru cared about Lao Tan, and she felt uncomfortable when she cared about Lao Tan being with another woman, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife, and it hurt like blood.
And she is a very tolerant woman, and she doesn't say anything when she feels sad.
The next morning, Yaru was used to working the morning shift and got up very early. After washing up, she went to Lao Tan's room to prepare breakfast, but was shocked by Lao Tan's uncomfortable appearance in bed.
Lao Tan was indeed feeling uncomfortable, and the culprit was the bottle of cold yogurt. After drinking it last night, he felt cool and comfortable for a while, but in the middle of the night, he stopped feeling good. First, he felt bloating, then his stomach rumbled, and then he started to have diarrhea.
At first, it happened once an hour, then once every half hour, and then I felt the urge to defecate within five minutes. It was nothing but uncomfortable when I sat on the toilet.
He kept struggling until three o'clock in the middle of the night before he got better. During this period, he went to the bathroom N times and had nothing to pull out.
Later, my stomach ached less and I had less urge to defecate. I lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. But I didn't sleep properly. I woke up around four o'clock with a pain like needle pricks, and then I didn't sleep again.
Close your eyes and get lost in the lake.
He wanted to get out of bed and boil some hot water to drink. As the saying goes, a good man can't stand it. He was so weak from diarrhea and had a fever again that he could only hum and be lost in the lake.
Seeing that he was so panicked, Yaru stroked his head and shouted: "Old Tan, Old Tan, what's going on? How can you feel uncomfortable?"
Lao Tan was still conscious and knew that Yaru was here and was beside him, so he reluctantly raised his eyelids and took a look, and said feebly: "Send me to the hospital------" After that, he closed his eyes.
Rapid breathing.
Yaru said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I will send you there now." After saying that, she ran out and ran to the door of Li Shuang and Xiao Gao's room and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
"Li Shuang, Xiao Gao, you two get up quickly and send your master to the hospital. Your master is dying——"
Lao Tan was sent to the hospital. It was found that he had acute gastroenteritis, food poisoning, and cancer. The doctor said that if he had been sent to the hospital an hour later, he would not have been saved. It was a blessing in misfortune.
The reason was that the yogurt was expired and cold, which conflicted with the traditional Chinese medicine Lao Tan drank.
"The same goes for your family members. How can the patient have no one around him when he's like this? He has cancer himself, has high blood pressure, and has bad bronchial tubes. His life is in danger at any time. He can't have no one around him." The doctor said to Yaru unceremoniously.
Talk to Li Shuang.
"No, no, not next time." Li Shuang said immediately.
The doctor got angry, glanced at Li Shuang sideways, and said, "How about next time?" Then he said, "Hmph," "You guys should decide what to do. Hurry up and go through the hospitalization procedures. The patient needs to be hospitalized."
