World Five (10) Sick (1 / 2)

This time, Lin Jiu was awakened by pain.

The black cloth covering his eyes had been taken off, but it seemed to be late at night at this time. The curtains were very effective in blocking light. After Lin Jiu got used to the darkness for a while, he could barely make out the outlines of things.

Lin Jiu carefully took away the arm around her waist and moved to the bed little by little. When she got out of the bed, her legs gave out and she knelt on the ground. The already painful knee injury was even worse. hurt.

But Lin Jiu was only thankful that there was a thick plush carpet on the floor and she didn't make too much noise. She groped in the darkness with her hands and feet, slowly approaching the door.

The door was unlocked. Lin Jiu pressed the handle gently. Her heartbeat was as fast as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She was so afraid that a hand would suddenly appear from behind her and open the door just a crack. The door slammed shut.

Fortunately, Lin Jiu's worries did not come true. The person on the bed was still asleep. Lin Jiu carefully closed the door and turned around to find that the place where she had just been was Shen Xinbai's bedroom.

Everything in the living room was the same as every time she came here before. The hot pot and ingredients prepared on the dining table were still the same as before Lin Jiu fell into coma, but the soup base was already cold.

Lin Jiu was lucky enough to find her bag and a thin blanket on the sofa. She wrapped the thin blanket and left Shen Xinbai's house before she dared to take out her mobile phone.

The time displayed on the phone was 3:47 in the morning. There were more than a dozen unread WeChat messages, half from Shen Xinyue and half from Jiang Yu. Lin Jiu read each one but did not reply.

She put down her phone and leaned against the wall of the elevator to watch the floors descend one by one. The pain that had been covered up by fear slowly emerged. The stickiness in the center of her legs and the liquid that had flowed to her thighs made Lin Jiu feel inexplicable. of absurdity.

"Ding--", the elevator stopped at the first floor below. Lin Jiu moved to the side of the car in a weird posture like a cripple, started the car, and then turned on the music.

Lin Jiu leaned on the steering wheel, thinking that she would not be able to help crying, but strangely, she could not shed a single tear, and the song ended unknowingly.

In the end, Lin Jiu couldn't even recall how she got home, and how she forced herself to take a shower before lying on the bed.

It was almost five o'clock when Lin Jiu closed her eyes, but she woke up after seven o'clock. When she woke up, her head was dizzy and her whole body ached, from bones to muscles to skin, just like the legendary marrow cleansing. Like bones.

Her throat was so thirsty that it felt like smoke was coming out. There was water on the bedside table that she had poured before going to bed the night before. But at this time, Lin Jiu didn't have the strength to go to the kitchen to make a cup of hot water again. She drank half a cup of cold water in one go. , but the cup was empty and rolled to the ground.

Lin Jiu was wrapped in a thin air-conditioned quilt. She felt cold and hot at times, and her head felt like it was filled with paste. She took out her mobile phone from under the pillow. After being uncharged for a day, the phone only had 20% of the battery left.

World Five (10) Sick (2/2)

Although she couldn't think now, she still remembered that there was no ointment at home to relieve pain and reduce swelling. There was antipyretic medicine, but the most important thing was birth control pills.

After buying medicine on the takeout platform, Lin Jiu couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a hazy sleep. When she woke up again, she was woken up by the takeaway clerk's call.

"Just leave it at the door, thank you." Lin Jiu couldn't hear clearly what the other party said. After saying this in a hoarse voice, she hung up the phone. After lying on the bed for a few more minutes, Lin Jiu wrapped herself in a quilt and supported the wall. Walked out of the room.

The distance from the room to the door was only about ten meters, but Lin Jiu walked with difficulty for nearly five minutes. Even so, her back was already wet with cold sweat.

Lin Jiu lay on the door and looked outside the door through the peephole. There were only white floor tiles. It seemed that the delivery man had left. She tightened her hand on the quilt and opened the door.

The medicine in a paper bag was placed on the ground. Lin Jiu bent down to get it with difficulty, but another hand picked up the paper bag before her and handed it to her.

Lin Jiu's sluggish nerves reacted for a second, and then he retracted behind the door and looked up at the person. The person was holding a paper bag in one hand and took off his mask with the other. There were just a few of them. Shen Xinbai whom I haven't seen since childhood.

Lin Jiu subconsciously wanted to close the door, but accidentally caught something. The door was not closed, and Shen Xinbai's hand used to block the door quickly became red and swollen.

"Xiaojiu, it's me, I...I'm sorry." Shen Xinbai retracted his hand and stood outside the door, looking at Lin Jiu who was looking at him warily, and said with a guilty look on his face.

"You go back first." Lin Jiu felt that the world in front of her was spinning, "I am now..." The world finally stopped spinning and turned into black.

"Xiaojiu!"

When did her troubles begin? It probably started with drinking that glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Lin Jiu looked at the ceiling of his room with blank eyes.

The injuries on her body have been treated, and Shen Xinbai should have found a family doctor, because there is still an infusion needle inserted into the back of her right hand, and Shen Xinbai is lying on her left side.

Judging from the light coming through the gap under the curtains, it seemed that it was evening again, maybe because the glucose candies were being hung. Although Lin Jiu had not eaten all day, she did not feel hungry.

Lin Jiu tried not to think about the existence of the second person in the room, although she knew that what the sub-personality did should not be directed at the main personality, and although as Shen Xinbai's psychiatrist, she had fully understood the possible problems in this job. to the danger.

However, people are indeed animals that are more emotional than rational. Lin Jiu didn't want to see Shen Xinbai appear in front of her at this moment, and she didn't want to hear even the sound.
