Rebirth: The Life of a Scholar

Chapter 68

Severe high fever is very painful. Tang Xu is always uncomfortable in a half-dizzy half-dream and wants to express something, but it seems that all the strength in his body has been drained, making him unable to move.

This feeling is really bad, Tang Xu seemed to be struggling unconsciously to wake up, even though he was in a coma, he still clearly knew that he still had a lot of things to deal with.

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, Tang Xu finally opened his extremely tired eyes in a daze. The glare of the light made his tear glands surge, and the tears flowed out unconsciously, making his eyes sore and uncomfortable.

The five senses returned, he couldn't control his tears, and even felt his throat was dry and painful. Tang Xu's still-awake brain didn't have time to work when he heard the sound of surprise in his ear.

"Are you awake?" Ji Rong's voice sounded very clear at this time, so clear that Tang Xu thought he was actually hallucinating.

But forget about the auditory hallucinations, the touch of rubbing the corners of his eyes was too real, Tang Xu's dull eyes wanted to turn to the side, but Ji Rong stepped closer to him before him, his handsome eyebrows in the past were full of distress.

"Do you want to drink water?" Ji Rong said, retracting his hands and sitting on the head of the bed, carefully helping him up, holding the much thinner man in his arms, fearing that he would hurt him if he exerted too much force, and then held up the warm man beside him. Plug the boiling water into the straw and put it near his mouth to signal him to drink it.

Tang Xu, who was confused by Ji Rong's series of actions, was even more dizzy. His nose, which was already clogged, smelled Ji Rong's unique smell. He couldn't help wrinkling his nose in a refreshing way, and for a long time he couldn't help but feel silly. Know how to open your mouth to drink water.

Seeing Tang Xu in a daze, Ji Rong pinched his red nose distressedly: "Hey, drink some water first." It was like coaxing a child.

Only then did Tang Xu come to his senses, he opened his mouth obediently, and pulled the cracked lips for a while. Seeing the pain, Ji Rong carefully put the straw on his lips. Although the child didn't have much strength, he sucked water quite fiercely, so he chirped a few mouthfuls He drank more than half of the glass, and Ji Rong was afraid that it would be bad for him to drink too much, so he could only touch his hairy head and take the glass away.

Tang Xu looked up dissatisfiedly at Ji Rong when he didn't have any water to drink, and he was shocked when he saw Ji Rong's doting expression on his face, and he wanted to push Ji Rong away in a panic. I still remember what I confessed to my parents, and now I see Ji Rong's various hypocrisy.

Tang Xu's little strength naturally couldn't push Ji Rong. Like a kitten, Ji Rong smiled and couldn't help but put the child's head on his heart and rubbed it hard before putting him down and letting him lie down. : "The doctor will come over later, if you have any discomfort, just tell the doctor obediently, you know?"

Tang Xu nodded subconsciously, then closed his eyes and pretended to be uncomfortable not to look at Ji Rong, but Ji Rong grabbed his hand and kissed him, feeling the soft touch on the back of his hand Tang Xu suddenly trembled and stared. Eyes widened, throbbing unbelievably.

Ji Rong hilariously kissed him again before stuffing his hand into the quilt, and then leaned over to kiss the corner of his eye, the child dodged for a while and his eyes drifted, Ji Rong almost couldn't restrain himself from Tang Xu's cute eyes. He gave a French kiss: "We can talk when you are well?"

Although Ji Rong has always liked to be in close contact with him, Tang Xu has never experienced such a thing as kissing him. Of course, he doesn't know how much he has been taken advantage of by others when he is unconscious.

Still immersed in the shock of being kissed, Tang Xu didn't answer Ji Rong's words, and Ji Rong took it as his acquiescence, and felt very itchy for Tang Xu, who was absent-minded at this moment.

As soon as the doctor came, he conducted various examinations on Tang Xu. Ji Rong stayed by his side and listened carefully to some precautions that the doctor said. After sending the doctor away, Ji Rong called Tang's father and mother to inform them that Tang Xu had woken up. news, and then sat beside Tang Xu's bed to handle the work.

Because Tang Xu was sick, he hurried back and didn't do some finishing work. Before Tang Xu was unconscious, he didn't have the mood to do it. Although he really wanted to talk to Tang Xu, Tang Xu didn't seem to want to talk to him at all. Embarrassed, Ji Rong can only work with him at the same time.

And Tang Xu became drowsy because he thought too much all at once, so he squinted his eyes and automatically fixed his eyes on Ji Rong. Ji Rong was especially good-looking when he was working, and he would always be subconsciously attracted to Ji Rong at such a time. , how many times he looked at it and forgot everything, even the accelerating heartbeat, he didn't understand anything at that time, so stupid and annoying.

Ji Rong sent two emails, raised his eyes to meet Tang Xu's gaze, then raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him that he thought was the prettiest, lowered his voice and kept seducing him: "When you looked at me like this before, you said I'm pretty."

Inexplicably being mentioned the embarrassing things he did before, Tang Xu looked away awkwardly for a moment, thinking that he might have been seduced by Ji Rong at that time.

"Tang Xu, you were quite honest back then." Ji Rong sighed, as if nostalgic. At that time, Tang Xu didn't think so much, and honestly said what he thought. Now that they have grown up, the middle distance After five or six years of vacancy, Tang Xu had his own thoughts and considerations. He had been treating Tang Xu cautiously, fearing that he would scare Tang Xu away. If it wasn't for Tang Xu's fever this time, maybe he would have waited until The kid figured it out and ran to him and said he liked him.

Tang Xu blinked and suddenly thought of something and almost sat up. He had told his parents that he liked Ji Rong before, and Ji Rong was at his bedside at this time, and he had just informed his parents that he woke up, so did Ji Rong know about it? ?Did his parents tell him anything? ?

"You...you know everything?" This was the first sentence Tang Xu said when he woke up. His hoarse and dry voice sounded particularly uncomfortable, but his voice was very soft, tentative, and trembling inexplicably.

The two people looked at each other for a while, Tang Xu's heartbeat gradually accelerated in silence, and he wished he could stay in a coma.

Tang's father and Tang's mother came over in a hurry when the two had their own concerns. As soon as they entered the ward, Tang's mother rushed over to check Tang Xu's situation: "Is there anything uncomfortable!? Why are you tossing yourself so much, child! Look at it You are skinny!"

Tang's father looked at Tang Xu and then at Ji Rong, his eyes full of helplessness: "Xiao Ji, come out." After speaking, he turned around and went out first without waiting for Ji Rong's answer.

Tang Xu looked at Ji Rong anxiously, Ji Rong smiled reassuringly and followed Tang's father out. For a while, only Tang Xu and Tang's mother were left in the ward.

Tang's mother put the soup on the bedside table: "It's okay, your father won't make things difficult for Xiao Ji." She sat down and patted Tang Xu's head lovingly: "Xiao Ji doesn't know what time it was last night When I came back, I probably haven’t slept yet.”

Listening to mother Tang's gentle voice, Tang Xu's thoughts drifted outside the door, wanting to know what Father Tang and Ji Rong said.

Seeing Tang Xu's absent-mindedness, Tang's mother smiled and didn't speak again. Let the children explain these things themselves.

Tang Xu felt dizzy and uncomfortable after eating the clear porridge brought by Tang's mother. He lay on the bed and squinted his eyes uncomfortably. No, is it hard?"

"Mom... I was wrong, I won't dare anymore..." Tang Xu turned his head softly and looked at Tang's mother, who obviously didn't rest well, knowing that he scared them this time: "It's okay, tomorrow never mind."

Mother Tang sighed and said earnestly: "You, don't worry about everything, we are your parents, what can't you tell us?"

"Mom, I really, really like Ji Rong..." This is what Tang Xu wanted to say to his parents the most at the moment. He never knew that he would like someone, and he still liked him so much. He controlled what he liked. I can't help but want to tell my parents how much he likes it... Tang Xu held his heart that was beating abnormally and exhaled. He really likes Ji Rong so much...

When Ji Rong came in, Tang Xu fell asleep again. He nodded to Tang's mother and then reached out to test Tang Xu's temperature. His palms rubbed against his delicate cheeks and his eyes instantly softened. It took a long time before he withdrew his hand: "Uncle Auntie, I will go back first."

Tang's mother, who had already accepted the relationship between the two, was not disgusted with Ji Rong's actions although they were awkward, and her attitude towards Ji Rong became more and more gentle: "Xiao Ji go back and have a good rest. Remember to drink some soup in the kitchen."

"Thank you, auntie. I'll watch over that night, okay?" Ji Rong is very energetic now, and if he has nothing to do, he really wants to stay by Tang Xu's side and accompany him all the time.

"Okay." Mother Tang became more and more satisfied with Ji Rong.

After Ji Rong left the hospital, he didn't go back to Tang's residence but to his own home.

Xu Yinmei, who was watering the flowers and plants in the garden, heard the sound of parking outside and thought it was Ji Yang who came back at this time. When she opened the door in doubt, she saw Ji Rong standing at the door. She put the watering pot aside in surprise and pulled Ji Rong in: " Why did you come back all of a sudden? Have you eaten lunch yet? Mom will cook some dishes for you?"

Looking at Xu Yinmei's smile, Ji Rong felt inexplicably sad. When he was young and frivolous, he blamed his parents, so he never went back to the country after going abroad, let alone go home. Now that he returned to China, he didn't go home even once. He was paranoid and naive. He is obviously an adult who has passed puberty, but he is still so childish.

Following Xu Yinmei into the living room, there are still familiar furnishings and decorations. The time of this house seems to have stopped before he went abroad, but the mother's back seems not as proud as before.

During the time he lived in Tang's house, he watched Tang Xu get along with his parents every day, and he was actually quite envious.

His parents have always cared about his grades since he was a child, and he always thought so at that time.

"Well, I've eaten. I have something to tell you. Is Dad at home?" Ji Rong wanted to calmly tell them about Tang Xu.
