At eight in the morning, a nurse pushed open a window in the corridor, and the cool wind blew in, causing the person in the chair to shudder.
Moxie felt a little cold, probably because the temperature in the hospital corridor was a little low yesterday, and he seemed to catch a cold. Next to him is Pei Hao, who is already leaning on the chair and falling asleep. His hands are on his chest/crossed, his eyes are still in the direction of Moxie, and there is a smile on his face, as if he had a good dream.
In a trance, Mo Xi remembered the sentence "I miss you so much" he said with a slight smile last night, and it floated to his heart like a light cloud, and it was itchy. In such a hazy moonlight, Pei Hao confessed so seriously, if it were a few years ago, he would have been ecstatic. But yesterday he just turned his head slightly and didn't give any response, because he really didn't know how to respond.
It didn't take long for the nurse to come over and talk to Moxie, which probably meant that the money he paid was running out, so let's go and renew it. Pei Hao woke up from a chaotic dream, shook his hair randomly, stood up and took the message: "Okay, I'll pay."
"Pei Hao!" Mo Xi stopped the man who had strode out , followed up, "I'll pay it."
"You have a lot of money," Pei Hao rubbed Moxie's hair vigorously, and he was afraid that he would be angry, so he quickly added, "Where are you even paying? I don't even know the money."
Pei Hao is right, he has only a few thousand dollars left after he has emptied his body, which is a drop in the bucket compared to his sister's medical expenses. He didn't want to owe Pei Hao a favor at this time, but the reality was here, Mo Zi was in urgent need of medical expenses, and he couldn't get it.
Moxie lowered his head, his eyes were dim, and he felt powerless.
Pei Hao sensed Mo Xi's depressed mood, thinking that he had just said the pain point. He put one hand around Moxie's neck, took him to the elevator entrance, touched his nose with his fingertips, and said, "don't think about it, I don't need the money now, so I'll put it in the bank."
Moxie pursed his lips: "I will pay you back as soon as possible."
Pei Hao originally wanted to say no hurry, or simply said don't pay it back. Anyway, this was what he was willing to spend, and he never thought about taking it back. But thinking of Moxie's unfamiliar attitude just now made me a little angry, and finally left a sentence and went to the elevator with you.
It didn't take long for Xiao Jun to take over the shift with breakfast, and when Mo Xi and Pei Hao finished eating, he immediately drove them home to sleep.
As soon as the two walked out of the hospital door, Mo Xi turned to Pei Hao and said, "Go back, I have booked a hotel."
Pei Hao knew that with Mo Xi's temperament, he would not stay at his house all the time, but he didn't expect this It's almost time to find a place to go, which shows how much this person wants to stay away from him. Pei Hao didn't keep him anymore, he just said, "I'll take you there."
"No need," Mo Xi shook his head, afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and called up the reservation record on his mobile phone to show him, "It's the opposite of your home. Why do you have to go around."
Pei Hao ignored him, stopped another car, reported the address that Moxie had reserved, and sat in it himself.
"..." Mo Xi couldn't help rolling his eyes. To say that Pei Hao has not changed for so many years, it is his stubborn temper. Anyway, as long as it is what he believes, no one else can shake him in the slightest.
When the car drove to the door of the hotel, Pei Hao's face sank, and Mo Xi himself was shocked. What kind of hotel is this, this is a tattered guest house, the entrance is in an alley, and several open garbage bags around give off a disgusting smell, he two walked to the front desk and waited for a long time for the waiter before procrastinating. come out.
"Are you sure you want to live here?" Pei Hao suppressed his displeasure and turned his eyes away from him.
"Everywhere else is full." Moxie whispered back to him.
"Okay, call me if you have something to do." Pei Hao took a deep breath. Moxi would rather live here than go back to his house. Maybe he should reflect on himself. Besides, he doesn't have any identity or status to make any decisions for Moxie now.
"Yeah." Moxie responded casually, glanced around, thinking that the environment here is just a little worse, what else could happen, just sleep.
As soon as Pei Hao stepped out the door, he thought of something and turned back. He pointed to Moxi's phone and asked, "Do you know my phone number? It's that one."
Moxie nodded. Although Pei Hao's mobile phone was blocked by him, he could memorize the number. No need to save at all.
Pei Hao thought about it, but still felt uneasy. Looking at Mo Xi, he asked tentatively, "Is my number still on the blacklist?"
Mo Xi nodded again. Pei Hao suddenly felt annoyed and funny. Isn't this an obvious thing, how hard he was to ask such a question.
Pei Hao lowered his head and sighed, then pitifully said in a low voice, "Move it out." When he said this, he didn't dare to look up at Mo Xi, for fear that Mo Xi would give him another cold rejection. He doesn't want to be too disappointed.
Mo Xi's heart softened instantly. Pei Hao, such a proud person, probably never showed weakness to anyone in his last life, but now he is humbled in front of him, begging him to remove his phone number from the blacklist.
Still not ruthless enough, obviously he did nothing wrong, but he was habitually distressed when he saw Pei Hao's aggrieved appearance.
After Pei Hao left, Mo Xi was in a daze in the room. He picked up the phone and turned it around in his hand, thinking and thinking, and finally found a legitimate reason for himself: anyway, he will pay back the money to Pei Hao in the future. It's a matter of time before setting him up as a normal contact.
After completing the operation, Moxi seemed to have a stone in his heart. He was about to take a shower and then go to bed, but when he turned on the shower, he was stunned, and the water that came out was yellow.
He called the front desk, and the front desk said sorry, the water pipe was repaired today, maybe something got in there, you can leave it for a while.
So he stood in front of the bathtub and put water in for ten minutes. The water became clear, but there was no hot water for a long time. So he called the front desk again, and the little girl at the front desk replied to him while eating melon seeds: "It's too cold today and the water heater didn't turn on, why don't you wash it at night?"
Moxie was a little speechless. It wasn't because the sub-zero water pipes were frozen in winter. Why can't the water heater burn in the ten-degree weather? Is it possible to lie with some common sense, I can accept it if you directly say that the water heater is broken.
Forget it, it's cheap, isn't it?
Moxie thought about washing it at night, so he lay on the bed with his clothes on and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, when there was a sudden sound of rippling female voices next door, accompanied by some kind of crashing noise. The man's mouth was constantly swearing, and Moxie could hear it clearly. The sound insulation here is really...
Serve, Moxie put on headphones , fell asleep again. It was already eight o'clock when he woke up at night, and there was no sound next door. Moxie got up and put the water in for a long time and it was still cold. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he went in and took a cold shower.
Although it is not as cold as winter, the temperature in late autumn is also heart-warming. Moxie sneezed several times when he walked to the door of the hospital.
Fortunately, he asked the front desk for a blanket when he went out today, and he could cover it when he took a nap at night.
Xiao Jun walked out of the ward to find the doctor. When he met Mo Xi who had just arrived, he touched the tears at the corner of his eyes, pointed at the ward and said excitedly, "Your sister is awake, go quickly."
Mo Xi walked quickly to the ward Inside, I saw Mo Zi lying on the bed with a pale face, her face was swollen several times more than usual, and there were still some tubes stuck in her body. His sister, who is usually so confident and beautiful, how could she have become like this when she gave birth to a child.
Mo Xi's nose was sour, but he couldn't hold back, and his eyes turned red.
"Xiaoxi, come here." Mo Zi's body was still a little weak, and her voice was weak.
Mo Xi wiped away his blurred vision, walked to Mo Zi's bed and sat down, choked in his throat and called Sister Sheng.
"Don't cry," Mo Zi raised her swollen hand and touched him, showing a smile, but there were tears in her eyes, "It's alright."
Mo Xi held her hand and noticed that her entire palm was swollen When he got up, his five fingers didn't touch at all, and he asked distressedly, "Is there anything you want to eat, I'll go buy it."
"Your brother-in-law has already fed me. The doctor said that I'll be fine as long as I take care of myself. Don't worry." Mo Zi moved her body slightly and changed her posture to a convenient position for talking with Mo Xi, and asked him worriedly. , "How about your school? Don't delay learning."
Moxie waved his hand to comfort her: "It's okay, I asked for a two-week leave, and the school will approve it soon."
American professors have always been very open to this kind of thing, after all, human life is the most important, and they have nothing to lose.
However, the manager of his internship company was not very happy, because he did not ask for leave in advance, and it was only two weeks since he left, and he was delayed due to a lot of work. Moxie is also very helpless. His sister is almost gone. What else can he do? If it's a big deal, just quit him.
After a brief chat with Mo Zi, Mo Xi was afraid that she would be too tired, so she asked her to rest early, and went back to the corridor to turn on her mobile phone, and saw the urchin replying his text message: It's such a pity, I'm not in X City recently.
Moxie: You don't have to go to school?
Urchin: Oh, I'm on leave. I hope things at your house will be resolved smoothly~
Moxie: Well, next time I have a chance to see
Urchin: OK
Put down the phone, Moxie is a little puzzled, why is it so coincidental, when he comes back Urchin is no longer in X City, is he really not there or he doesn't want to meet him?
Looking at Urchin's brief reply, it didn't seem like he wanted to explain anything to him. Then he dialed the chat log back to the part where he said he wanted to invite Urchin to dinner. Urchin seemed hesitant and didn't agree. If others are so reluctant, he shouldn't be too proactive.
Then talk about it later.
When Pei Hao arrived at the hospital, Mo Xi was holding a computer while doing his homework. He leaned over to take a look, the screen was full of codes, occasionally mixed with some words he didn't know. He could still understand a little bit of the basic programming written by Moxie in the past, but now these are simply books from heaven.
Pei Hao suddenly remembered a line from an American drama: **art is the new sexy. The way Moxie is thinking seriously is so fucking handsome!
He immediately put his body next to Moxie's ear and said softly, "I think you are very sexy now."
Moxie patted the blanket on his chest, still staring at the computer, and returned him expressionlessly: " Go to sleep now."
For the next week, Pei Hao still came to watch Mo Xi in a hurry every day, even if he had work during the day and dinner at night, he was never absent. Once or twice Moxie smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him and knew that he was going to drink with a client again.
When they were together, Pei Hao didn't like smoking and drinking. Mo Xi couldn't figure it out a little. With the background of Pei Hao's family, why did he need to work hard to please customers, but every time he didn't ask a question, he was casually diverted from the topic by Pei Hao.
He wanted to persuade Pei Hao to go home and have a good rest. Like him, who worked during the day and stayed in the hospital at night, no matter how good his body was, he wouldn't be able to withstand it for long. But Pei Hao turned a deaf ear and still came to the hospital every day. Every time he stared at the computer, Pei Hao stared at him with his face full of pride and admiration. He didn't sleep until he was really sleepy. The next morning, I went home to take a shower and went to work, just like a normal person.
