Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 18
When her consciousness became a little clearer, Ni Manhua was already sitting in the ward, listening to the doctor telling the patient in the next bed which foods he should avoid recently. She didn't know whether it was their conversation that disturbed her, or the waves of pain that continued to stimulate her. Holding her.

When the police siren sounded, Ni Manhua felt her head start to hurt. Later, when Lu Guanhai carried her to the hospital, bumping on his back, the headache became more severe.

Fortunately, it has slowed down now. Ni Manhua opened her eyes and looked at Lu Guanhai's back. A beam of sunlight from the left came in and hit her neck. It was warm and more comfortable than the cold air conditioner in the ward.

Lu Guanhai was sitting by the window with his back to the hospital bed. He didn't know what he was looking at. The nurse who just spoke had already walked out.

The wound on his lower back was still aching. Ni Manhua was lying on his side, and one arm became numb after a long time.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that there was only a thin layer of liquid left in the hanging bottle. Ni Manhua reached out to ring the bell, and his elbow hit the guardrail and made a sound, which startled Lu Guanhai and looked back.

"I'll press it, you just lie down." Lu Guanhai's face was stained. A shallow wound stretched from the bridge of his nose to behind his ear. There was a faint pink line. Ni Manhua heard the doctor say It will disappear within a week at most.

Fortunately, the first thought that came to Ni Manhua's mind at that time was that she didn't have to be responsible for him because the wound left traces.

Her arms were really sore and numb, and Ni Manhua wanted to sit up. Lu Guanhai saw her intention and reached out to help her.Under this air conditioner, Ni Manhua's whole body was chilled, but Lu Guanhai's palms were still warm.Ni Manhua was about to ask him if the bruises on his arms hurt when he saw a woman in nurse uniform coming over to change the water.

Ni Manhua's hand fell on the bedside and he looked at her face intently.

It's Guan Fei.Ni Manhua never imagined that he would meet her so soon this time.

Guan Fei in 2011 looks no different from Guan Fei in 2023. Time seems to have stood still in her world.

Guan Fei noticed Ni Manhua's gaze and smiled at her: "What are you doing, little sister? In addition to the pain of the wound, is there any discomfort?"

Ni Manhua shook her head and looked away. When she saw Lu Guanhai's expression was as usual, she remembered that Lu Guanhai didn't know Guan Fei now.

Lu Guanhai looked at Guan Fei and asked, "Sister, can she eat now?"

In the blink of an eye, the sun shrank away, and the sky was still bright, but only the whiteness of the clouds remained.Ni Manhua glanced at the mobile phone placed next to the pillow. At 05:30 in the afternoon, it was time to eat.

Guan Fei picked up the tray with the empty potion bottles and said kindly: "There are no taboos for trauma, but you'd better buy her some light food. She is currently on her menstrual period and has suffered from heatstroke in the afternoon, so she is relatively weak."

Ni Manhua didn't pay attention to what they talked about next. She frowned and stared at her phone. There were several missed calls from Zhan Ping on the screen.The potion has not been finished yet, and it is too late to rush back now. Jiang Lan's confession today cannot be continued, and she doesn't know how to explain it in the future.

While thinking about it, Lu Guanhai followed Guan Fei out of the ward. Ni Manhua silently replied to Zhan Ping's message on his mobile phone. Soon, Zhan Ping sent a message: "Lu Guanhai called Luo Tuo just now. I'm at On the way, will be here soon."

Ni Manhua put away his phone and looked out the door. Lu Guanhai was gone, leaving only Guan Fei and another doctor standing together.This was the doctor who treated Ni Manhua when she was first brought to the hospital. She remembered that his name was Su Guzhi, and his appearance was as gentle as his name.

Ni Manhua has never seen Guan Fei smile like this before. This may be the only difference between her and the future.She grinned widely and there was a twinkle in her eye.

Later, Guan Fei's personality was much more reserved. When he smiled, he only pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were as calm as water, and he could hardly distinguish his emotions.

Ni Manhua sat on the bed for a while. Lu Guanhai walked in carrying several lunch boxes, and Zhan Ping followed him.

"Oh, my Manman, how did you get yourself into this?" Zhan Ping came over with a distressed look on her face, took Ni Manhua's hand and checked her injury.

Lu Guanhai moved a chair over, opened the lunch box, and gave each of them a pair of chopsticks. The lunch box contained lean meat porridge and steamed dumplings.

After Lu Guanhai put the things away, he walked out the door. He had only taken two steps when Zhan Ping shouted with a dumpling in his mouth: "Hey, don't go. There's gauze wrapped around my feet. I won't be able to carry them back for a while." .”

Lu Guanhai turned around and raised his hand helplessly towards her: "I spilled some porridge on the bag, I'm going to wash my hands."

Zhan Ping watched Lu Guanhai walk out, and then quickly approached Ni Manhua: "Manman, let me tell you, I almost died of embarrassment at 'Shengchao' this afternoon."

Ni Manhua glanced at her: "What happened?"

"Lin wanted to confess to Jiang Lan. We had filled up balloons and were waiting for you to come back. When he came over, he stepped on one and burst it. I was almost scared out of my mind." Zhan Ping always spoke exaggeratedly, but Ni Manhua You can probably restore the situation in your mind.

After being tortured like this in the afternoon, she had forgotten that Lin Xiang was still there.

Ni Manhua asked her: "What was Jiang Lan's reaction? How did you end it?"

Zhan Ping shook her head and sighed: "Of course Jiang Lan didn't agree. The five of us shared the box of chocolates Lin wanted to buy. The balloon explained that it was a surprise for everyone. Oh, by the way, Luo Zeli called alone after answering the phone. I went out to tell you about your admission to the hospital, and I rushed over here when I heard it. I don’t know if Luo Zeli told those three."

Ni Manhua glanced at her phone and saw that she had not received any more messages from anyone. They probably didn't know about her admission to the hospital, and maybe they didn't know that Lu Guanhai was with her this afternoon.

After the IV drip was administered, Lu Guanhai sent Ni Manhua home.They were in the ward on the second floor. There was a long queue of people waiting for the elevator at this time. Lu Guanhai thought there was no need to waste the time, so he put Ni Manhua on his back and took her down the stairs.

Ni Manhua rejected him at first. She thought she could walk down the short stairs with just support, but Lu Guanhai insisted on doing so. He thought the hospital floor was always dirty and slippery, and it would be easy for her in her current condition. fall.

"Just sit back and stop talking nonsense." Zhan Ping chattered at the side: "Our handsome guy's back is not easy to get on. You have to envy so many girls in the school."

Lu Guanhai didn't speak. Ni Manhua wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. A joke that was too serious would be too deliberate. But lying in this familiar and unfamiliar place, she was afraid that if she didn't say something again, she would be rushed and confused. The beating of your heart betrays your emotions.

It was difficult to take a taxi to the hospital at this time, so Lu Guanhai stood at the door of the hospital with Ni Manhua on his back.Ni Manhua thought for a while and asked him: "Are you tired? If you are tired, you can put me down."

"Not tired." Lu Guanhai denied, and asked her again: "Are you tired?"

Ni Manhua didn't speak for a long time.

She seems to have realized something. No matter how the storyline changes, people will not change.He is still who he is and will say the same thing in a given incident.

"are you tired?"

"No, are you tired?"

"Why am I tired? I'm lying down."

"You will get tired if you lie down in one position for a long time. If you get tired, just tell me and I will change my position to carry you."

Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai's hair flying in the wind, and tears fell from his eyes unconsciously.

"Not tired."
