Duan Shu Tong: "..."Although you're good looking, you are not my type, sir, he thought.
A face suddenly appeared in his mind, and Duan Shu Tong could not help but sighed. He finally acknowledged the thought that he had buried deep within the recess of his mind.
From the first time he saw Xi Duan, he was attracted to the other man.
The rain poured down fast and heavy, not giving people time to prepare at all.
Icy raindrops fell on Duan Shu Tong's face and body. Cold air entered his body. Duan Shu Tong shivered from the chill, and hurriedly fled to the eaves of the storefront and walked along under the eaves.
But there were only a few eaves along this road, so he was still drenched by the rain. His only recourse was to speed up and run back to the hotel.
With a 'bam' he ran into someone's chest. With one hand covering his head, he didn't see the other person clearly. He just lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. Sorry."
Just as he was about to move sideways, the other person grabbed his wrist. The warmth of the other person's palm seeped through his cold skin and instantly scalded him to his heart.
"Take it." A black umbrella handle was handed to Duan Shu Tong. The other person's voice was low and familiar.
Duan Shu Tong raised his head subconsciously and stared at the other person in a daze, but in his head he was thinking that he must cut a sorry figure and look very bad right then.
Seeing that the young man was not moving, Xi Duan forcefully put the umbrella handle into his hand. He quickly took off his jacket and put it around the young man's shoulders. Then he took the umbrella back. "Put it on."
Duan Shu Tong lowered his head and put the jacket on obediently. He followed after Xi Duan, and the two walked back to the hotel together.
Beyond the umbrella, the rain was falling down in sheets. Beneath the umbrella was an undercurrent of activity. The two were close in person, but somehow so far apart.
After a while, Duan Shu Tong asked hoarsely, "Why are you here?"
Xi Duan said lightly, "It's raining."
Duan Shu Tong felt a burst of sourness in the back of his nose. He sneezed several times. Xi Duan frowned lightly and tilted the umbrella even more towards the young man.
Back at the hotel, Duan Shu Tong took a hot bath right away. But he still felt a little chilly and his head was very dizzy, so he nestled into the blankets and fell asleep in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard someone calling him. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't get them to open. It felt like his eyelids were glued shut. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth. His head was heavy. His body would not obey. His brows knitted together in a frown.
"How is he?" Xi Duan asked the doctor. He looked at Duan Shu Tong who seemed to be suffering in his sleep.
"He has a cold and a low fever."
"How do we treat him?"
"Drink more water. With this kind of cold, he will recover slowly on his own. It's not very serious."
Xi Duan frowned, "But he's very uncomfortable right now."
The doctor was very callous, "Everyone with a cold feels uncomfortable. If you're really worried, you can give him some cold medicine."
Xi Duan: "..."
Cen Ning, who was also there, said hurriedly, "What kind of medicine? I'll go buy it now."
Then he left the room with the doctor.
When the room was completely silent, Duan Shu Tong finally opened his heavy eyelids with great difficulty, and saw a person sitting by the bed.
"I'll get some water for you." Seeing that Duan Shu Tong was awake, Xi Duan did not say anything unnecessary. He went to pour a cup of warm water for Duan Shu Tong.
Duan Shu Tong's body felt a little sore. He used his arms to push himself up into a sitting position. He felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Thank you. What time is it now?"
"Ten p.m."
After Duan Shu Tong finished drinking the water, Xi Duan asked, "Do you want more?"
The young man nodded, he was indeed a little thirsty.
He looked at Xi Duan's back as the other man poured water for him. He gathered his spirits and asked, "How did you know that I'm sick?"
The sound of water pouring into a cup reverberated in the quiet room. Xi Duan finished pouring the water, and returned to the bedside with a light expression. "You didn't respond on WeChat, and you didn't answer when I knocked on the door."
Duan Shu Tong held the cup of warm water, "Thank you."
"No need," the man's eyelashes drooped. "Chairman Duan asked me to take care of you before."
Duan Shu Tong: "..." So Xi Duan was only taking care of him for the sake of his father?
All this time, Duan Shu Tong has been burying his feelings. After falling ill, his mood became more unstable. Xi Duan's meticulous care was making him greedy for more. All kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined together inside his heart. He could only tell that his eye sockets were very astringent, and his throat felt like it was being pulled taut, so tight that it hurt.
