sleepless tonight

Chapter 49 The boudoir
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Xiaojie sat up happily when she saw the cover of the book.

"Don't worry, don't move, I'll help you read it." Brother Zheng picked up the book, opened two pages, put it in front of Xiaojie, turned around and smiled at me, "So many people gave so many Gifts, from dolls to all kinds of food and clothing, but no gift can make Xiaojie so happy, brother Chen, you really have a heart, thank you."

"Why are you polite?" I smiled, glanced at Xiaojie on the hospital bed, and then at Brother Zheng, "Brother Zheng, then I won't bother you, you stay with Xiaojie well, I'm going back."

"You wait for me, I will see you off." Brother Zheng followed me out of the ward, "Brother Chen, thank you very much for this matter, without you, I really can't imagine what the outcome would be .”

"You have thanked me many times. Didn't I tell you that this matter is actually mixed with my own selfishness. Our company has received an order to restore the reputation of the client. I just know you because of the lack of a deed. Knowing about Xiaojie, I wrote about Xiaojie and you." I said, "This is actually a matter of mutual benefit, so you don't have to feel that you owe me favors."

"No, I must thank you. There are so many patients in the hospital, and there are many leukemia patients in the whole country. How many of them may have received such attention? Without your help, I really don't know what to do." Brother Zheng said, "Brother Chen Don't worry, you helped me, I'm sure I won't repay you without mercy, I know what to say and how to do it, I will try my best to cooperate with you, don't worry."

"Thank you very much." I didn't say anything, but Brother Zheng already understood my intention of coming this time, which made me a little ashamed.

"If you want me to cooperate, you can just say it." Brother Zheng patted my shoulder, "You are a good person, really, I have already seen it."

Brother Zheng went back to the ward, and I walked out of the hospital quietly, feeling a little dazed along the way, Brother Zheng's understanding made my heart suffer even more.

Love cannot be desecrated, and disease, I think the same is true, should not be tainted by utilitarianism and selfishness, but I am doing such a thing.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, saving lives and healing the wounded, is a very sacred and solemn thing, mixed with various interests, which makes people feel sick.

At the entrance of the hospital, many reporters and media were still reluctant to leave, and the noise was mixed with the flashing lights, which formed a sharp contrast with the heavy scene inside the hospital.

At this moment, I suddenly felt ashamed that I used Xiaojie and the media to create public opinion and create benefits, turning the hospital into a place of interest.

However, I can't drive them away.

Although they broke the tranquility and solemnity of the hospital, without these people, Xiao Jie might still be lying on the hospital bed, silently waiting for the known cruel ending, without the slightest chance to struggle.

I was a little dull, smoked a cigarette, didn't take the bus, and walked silently along the road.

Will there be a place where people in pain can be cared for and feel warm even if they don’t need reports, attention, or noise?Instead of helplessly accepting the unwanted ending, humbly submit to fate.

After smoking a cigarette and blowing some cold wind, I finally felt less uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, I made a call to Logan: "I just arrived at the hospital and met Zheng Wensen and Zheng Jiebai. They are willing to cooperate with us, so don't worry."

What I said was very simple, and I didn't describe too much, I just let Logan know what she wanted to know.

"Okay." Logan responded and hung up the phone.

Such a simple answer made me very blocked, and I felt that Logan seemed to be far away from me.

After a while, Logan sent me a message: "In a meeting, how is that little girl?"

"The mental condition is fine." I felt that I was too sensitive and misunderstood Logan. "She has been transferred from the general ward to the ward with better conditions. She may be transferred to a better hospital in two days."

"I'm afraid there are quite a few media reporters at the gate of the courtyard. Has it affected them?" Tang Wan asked again.

"It has caused some impact on the hospital. Brother Zheng was too scared to leave the hospital at will, but as long as Xiaojie's illness can be cured, this little trouble is nothing." I said.

After chatting with Tang Wan for a few words, I suddenly understood that nothing is perfect.Without these media reporters, how could Xiaojie receive such attention and care?
"Okay, you don't need to go back to the company anymore, just get off work and go back to spend time with your wife and children." Tang Wan sent me a message.

The jump was a bit big, and I didn't know how to reply to her. I typed a few words repeatedly, and finally deleted them all, and simply replied with a good word.

When I arrived at the complex, I checked it out, but I didn't see a white Audi car.

Su Ran probably hasn't come back yet.

In the corridor, I ran into Chen Chen and Ge Xiaolun who were cuddling together and preparing to go out.

I froze for a moment, and then realized that the two of them had reconciled.

"Brother Chen." Chen Chen took the initiative to greet me.

"Are you going to eat?" I replied with a smile.

"Well, we're going to take a stroll in the city center and have a meal by the way, do you want to come with us?" Chen Chen was very happy and invited me.

I glanced at Ge Xiaolun, whose face turned unhappy, and shook my head: "No, I'll cook for myself later, so I'll eat at home, you guys go shopping."

"Okay, let's go then." Chen Chen walked past me with Ge Xiaolun in his arms.

"The wind is a bit strong, do you want to go back and put the scarf on for you." Ge Xiaolun said to Chen Chen when the wind blew into the corridor from the window.

"It's okay, let's go shopping in the mall, the heating is turned on there, it's not cold." Chen Chen said indifferently.

"Well, good." Ge Xiaolun nodded, and the two entered the elevator, "How about I call Xiaojing up, she knows more about cosmetics, and can give us some references later."

The elevator door was closed, and I couldn't hear the words behind it.

The key was under the doormat, and I opened the door and went in.

I made the meal and waited for Su Ran.But at seven or eight o'clock, she still didn't come back, and the dishes were a bit cold.

I sent Su Ran a message: "The food is ready, it's already a little cold, come back and eat soon."

"I'm not going back today, you can eat by yourself." Su Ran quickly texted me back.

I stared at the phone silently for a while, and then sent her another message: "It's such a cold day, if you don't come back to sleep, could it be that you are sleeping in the car?"

This time, it took a long time for Su Ran to text me back: "Are you caring about me?"

I thought for a while and returned the word 'um'.

After sending this word, I was a little worried that Su Ran would not reply to the message after only one word.

"If you come to pick me up now, I'll go back with you." My worry was unnecessary, Su Ran quickly replied to the message.

What she said made me unclear whether she really wanted me to pick her up or if she was just playing a joke on me.

I stood up, ran to the window, looked at the night, and then sent her a message: "OK, tell me the address, and I will pick you up."

"Are you really going to pick me up? No, I'm just joking with you. I have a place to sleep. Go to bed early. I'm going to take a shower." Su Ran was really joking with me.

I was a little lost, put away my phone, went to the kitchen to fill some rice, sat at the dining table and ate slowly.

The empty room makes people feel a little lonely. I don't know if Su Ran also felt this way when he was alone in this room.

The dishes were not finished, and all the extra dishes were put in the refrigerator.

I took a shower and lay on the bed when my phone rang suddenly.

Su Ran sent me a message: "You are not allowed to look through my things at home alone."

A warning message on purpose.

"I haven't." I was a little speechless, Su Ran was actually worried about this, I had no such thought at all.

"No best, I'm here with my cousin, I won't tell you anymore, you go to bed early, I'll chat with my cousin for a while." Su Ran told me.

Seeing his words, I felt a little bit relieved at once.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that Su Ran's words are deliberately explaining to me, which makes my heart warm, and the feeling of loneliness dissipates, and I feel warm all over.

Suddenly, I had the urge to go to Su Ran's boudoir to take a look.
