Second Chance At Love | RuanLin | GuangJie

7

The sky had already darkened outside. The two lovebirds were in bed sleeping peacefully.

What was planned as a nap, turned into a good 6 hours of sleep. Qiushi was the first to wake up. He tried to move, but he felt a weight on his chest.

Looking down, he saw his love sleeping on his chest, with his head in the crook of his shoulder and neck, such that Qiushi could feel the breath on his neck. His body instantly stiffened, but he relaxed quickly too. Seeing the person asleep, he placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

Qiushi carefully moved Nanzhu on the other side of the bed and placed a pillow under his head. Getting out of bed, he checkex the time and closed his eyes with a sigh.

It was already 10pm at night. He got up and washed his face with cold water. As he looked up in the mirror, the memory of the accident flashed before his eyes.

The last moment where his head had banged on the inside of the car making him lose his conscious as he held on tight on Nanzhu as they fell into the deep abyss and finally hitting the water where everything blacked out was deeply engraved in his mind.

Qiushi felt as if he couldn't breathe at all. He felt his body tremble and his legs weaken, making his lose control and stumble. He held the wall behind him and slid down holding his head in his face, taking deep breaths, his heart beating so fast that he felt it could pop out of his chest anytime. Hot tears fell from his eyes making his cheeks burn and he felt pain shot up in his head.

Everything around him starting going blur. He heard the bathroom door slide open, but he couldn't look up. He didn't want anyone to see him like this. Then he heard a voice, which spread like a calm throughout his body, a relief came over him and his body shuddered at the cold touch. It's not that the other person's body was cold, it was his body that was scorching hot right now.

"Lin Lin" he heard the voice call again and he leaned into the touch finally grabbing onto the clothes of the other person.

"Nanzhu, stay with me." Qiushi mumbled in a low voice but Nanzhu understood.

"Lin Lin, I am not leaving you. Not again. I am here, okay." Nanzhu pulled him in a tight hug and rubbed his back and the back of his head.

"You won't leave again?" Qiushi asked another hundred times confirming and Nanzhu replied to him for hundred and one times.

"Lin Lin, baby I'm not leaving you. I am right here."

Nanzhu started feeling hot, but it was already the start of winter and it was cold, not to mention the air conditioner was running at the lowest temperature. He touched Qiushi's forehead and then his own.

"F*ck, you're burning hot, baby. Get up, I'll take to you hospital." Nanzhu said while putting one arm under Qiushi's arms and other under his knees and picked him up bridal style.

He first placed him on the bed and called his cousin.

"Ge, I'm taking Qiushi to hospital, he's burning hot with fever and almost unconscious. I- I don't know what's wrong." Nanzhu stuttered at the last sentence.

"Ruan, take him to hospital, we are leaving right away. We will be there soon, don't be scared, okay. I will keep talking to you. Don't hang up." Yu Liang comforted him and Nanzhu just made a sound in affirmation.

He picked up Qiushi and as if he never lost his memories, he swiftly grabbed the car keys from the drawer and went down to the floor below them. He beautifully unlocked the car and laid Qiushi on the back seat, buckling him to the seat belt.

He knew the switch for the lift to open, he got in his car and buckeled up, and drove the car in the lift. The lift went straight down and opened up.

He carefully took a turn and drove towards the gate. The security guard recognised the car and opened up the gate immediately. Nanzhu gave him a nod and drove past.
