When Gong Shengkai arrived at the hospital, he saw Tong Jing quietly leaning against the wall in the corridor. Her whole body was like being pulled out of the water. A few strands of hair were scattered and hanging down, almost covering her eyes. Her clothes were tightly attached to her body, and the lines of her body were clearly visible. When she saw him coming, she only slightly raised her eyes and quickly lowered her line of sight again.
"Something's wrong," Gong Shengkai walked up to her.
Tong Jing raised his head. The first update of the female student literature was just looking at Gong Shengkai, who never opened his mouth. Those blue eyes seemed to be nothing, like a spider web that was difficult to grasp, and like a grass-built fortress that was high and unattainable.
Gong Shengkai didn't force it. He slightly raised his hand and patted Tong Jing's arm, looking towards Yang Pu's ward and asked in a low voice, "Is Yang Pu's condition severe?"
"It's burning fiercely now." Tong Jing replied.
Gong Shengkai nodded and entered the room, where he saw his sister staring intently at Yang Pu, who was lying in bed. Like Tong Jing, she also looked like she had been rained on, but her appearance seemed even more disheveled than Tong Jing's.
"Xiao Qing..." Gong Shengkai softly called out behind her.
"You're here." Gong Shengqing didn't turn around. A pair of eyes seemed to be fixed on Yang Pu, unable to move away no matter how hard he tried.
"I'll stay here and keep watch. You go back first, take a hot bath. The latest update of Female Literature is not out yet, otherwise you will also get a high fever." Gong Shengkai walked over, one hand on Gong Shengqing's shoulder, trying to persuade her to go back.
"I won't go back." Gong Shengqing insisted.
"Gong Shengqing, I order you to go back now."
"Mind your own business." Gong Shengqing slapped away Gong Shengkai's hand heavily and glared at him.
"He...". Gong Shengkai was indeed at a loss. He had to go to the convenience store next to the hospital and buy a few dry towels and a box of ginger tea sachets. The female student literature updated in real-time, using hot water to soak two cups. And hurried back again.
One cup was taken into the ward and given to Gong Shengqing. The other cup was handed over to Tong Jing.
"You're planning to stay up all night too?" Gong Shengkai picked up a towel and hung it over Tong Jing's head, starting to wipe her wet hair without waiting for her to do it herself.
"Staying up late here will make me feel a bit better. Female literature updated at the first time." Tong Jing held the ginger soup with both hands, her eyes misty from the hot steam. Her melancholy was like the mist on a windless mirror-like sea, shimmering and trembling, as if a single speck of dust could bring tears to fall.
Gong Shengkai was still gently wiping Tong Jing's head. "Hurry up and drink the ginger soup while it's hot, so you can keep your energy up for tonight's watch."
Tong Jing raised his eyes and looked at Gong Shengkai with some gratitude. He felt that the current him was very different from the past him.
