Lin Zimao had a dream, he dreamed that he was still on planet Alpha where he had lived for many years, and someone was chasing him behind.
“Lin Zimao, you must go to the hospital today!”
“Lin Zimao, come back here!”
“Oh, you this child.”
Lin Zimao covered his hot forehead and ran on the dark road, shouting back: “I won’t go if you let the doctor give me a butt injection!”
The other party held down the skinny little Lin Zimao: “Won’t give injection, just let the doctor see it and prescribe some medicine, I promise.”
Not long after, Lin Zimao cried, this man lied to him, the doctor with the Qilin1麒麟 (qí lín): Qilin (mythical Chinese animal); kylin; Chinese unicorn; commonly mistranslated as giraffe. arm took a needle thicker than his calf and stuck it in his buttocks!
Lin Zimao was awakened by the giant needle.
The smell of the hospital is always very recognizable, the smell of disinfectant is extremely pungent.
He knew he was in the hospital before he even opened his eyes, when he looked again, what caught his eyes was Jiang Xuan’s expressionless handsome face.
He thought that if the doctor face was replaced by this face, it seemed that it is not unacceptable to take an injection, but there is no if in the world and Jiang Xuan is not a doctor.
“Awake?” Jiang Xuan’s voice remained the same, he pressed the call button on the screen next to the hospital bed.
“Um.” Lin Zimao propped himself up and sat up, the back of his head hurt a little, his fingers touched his back.
Jiang Xuan asked: “Is there any discomfort?”
Lin Zimao flattened his lips: “The back of my head seems to be swollen.”
Before he had time to ask Jiang Xuan why he was here, and why he himself was here, the doctor had already arrived, at the same time, the serious and rigid Director Liang, the gentle and comforting Yu Laoshi, and the rest who he didn’t know also arrived.
The doctor asked him a few simple questions, after confirming that he was fine, he said that he could be discharged from the hospital at any time, just take another injection to reduce the swelling, he just bumped the back of his head and didn’t have a concussion.
“Can I not get an injection?” Lin Zimao hesitated for a moment and asked the doctor.
“Yes, but it may take a day for the swelling to go down with medication, injection will take effect within an hour.” This is what the doctor said.
“Then I’ll take medicine.” It’s best to have a choice.
Only then did Lin Zimao remember the senior whose forehead was bleeding, he asked Jiang Xuan: “What about the seniors I was with? He should be okay right?”
Jiang Xuan said: “It’s okay, just spray some healing agent.”
Lin Zimao breathed a sigh of relief, it’s good that nothing happened: “Then I’ll go see him.”
Seeing that Lin Zimao was fine, Jiang Xuan didn’t stop him.
Several students in class one have all gone back, Yu Laoshi asked Jiang Xuan if he could send Lin Zimao back to school for him, Jiang Xuan said yes.
Lin Zimao went to the next ward, and saw Ren Siran, who had his forehead wrapped in gauze, was very busy now.
His ward is crowded with people, including school leaders, classmates and teachers.
The school leader was shaking his hand and said very sincerely: “As expected of a child from the Mecha Combat Department, brave and courageous, this time thanks to you saving the school’s losses, no harm was done, the school will definitely give you a credit!”
Ren Siran enjoyed the praise and acted very solemnly: “Yes, students will fulfill their mission in the future!”
Obviously, Ren Siran seemed to have forgotten the matter of pretending not to hear the distress call on the mecha and what he said about not wanting to die, two-face2道貌岸然 (dào mào’àn rán): (derogatory) sanctimonious; hypocritical; two-faced; dignified; having a solemn look; be hypocritically ethical and incorruptible; be self-righteous; assume a holier-than-thou attitude..
Lin Zimao came here just to check on Ren Siran’s situation, he didn’t expect to see such a scene.
When Jiang Xuan brought Lin Zimao some anti-inflammatory medicine and came over, he saw him standing at the door of the ward, sitting on a rest chair, with his legs bent, staring at the clasped fingers, don’t know what he was thinking.
“How?” He himself didn’t know how much tenderness he had never had before in these two words.
Lin Zimao shook his head and gave a light smile: “Nothing, just saw some interesting things.”
Jiang Xuan felt that his smile didn’t reach his eyes, how can such a funny thing be laughed like this? He only turn around and come back, Lin Zimao’s mood changed so much, can only assume that he was frightened.
Lin Zimao didn’t bring a communicator with him when he got on the mech, so he probably didn’t see the notice from the academy, so Jiang Xuan told him: “The academy gave you half a day off, no training in the afternoon.”
Lin Zimao he can’t wait for the military training to end now: “Then I can leave the hospital now, right?”
Jiang Xuan said to the intact Lin Zimao: “Yes, let’s go.” Today was quite a thrilling3驚心動魄 (jīng xīn dòng pò): shaking one to the core; extremely disturbing; hair-raising (idiom); soul-stirring; profoundly affecting. day, the little life is almost played off by him.
Lin Zimao raised his eyelids and asked him: “Go where?”
Jiang Xuan turned around and walked in front of him, squeezed out two words: “To eat.”
Lin Zimao followed and said oh to his back, he was indeed a little hungry, after a while, he asked Jiang Xuan again: “Not going back to school?”
Jiang Xuan stood at the elevator entrance: “If you want to go back, I can send you back first.”
Lin Zimao followed and stood next to him, immediately said: “Let’s go eat, it’s rare to have half a day off.”
Jiang Xuan glanced at him sideways, Lin Zimao smiled at him.
The elevator door opened, Jiang Xuan walked in first, their floor are high, there are not many people in the elevator going down.
However, more people came in from the next floor, it seems to be a big family, sending the elders over to see the doctor, several middle-aged people squeezed into the elevator while talking, and squeezed the two of them into a corner, Lin Zimao was bumped by a fat aunt, who threw him directly into Jiang Xuan’s arms, Jiang Xuan subconsciously supported his waist, Lin Zimao found a comfortable standing posture sideways, because the gap was small, he and Jiang Xuan were very close, his hanging hand even touched the belt around Jiang Xuan’s waist.
It was the first time he was so close to Jiang Xuan, even though he was facing Jiang Xuan sideways, but he still can detect a faint perfume scent on his body, he thought this person had quite a good taste in life, the fragrance is so light that it would be difficult to detect if they weren’t so close, it’s a calm and restrained gentle scent in autumn, smells good.
Jiang Xian’s eyes fell on Lin Zimao’s side face, if Lin Zimao leaned a little more closer to him again, his lips could stick to his cheek, looking at him so closely, he can clearly see his thick and slightly raised long eyelashes, and there is a tear mole in the corner of his right eye.
Lin Zimao is actually very good-looking.
The elevator doors opened again, a group of people went out in a wave, the space in the elevator suddenly became empty, Lin Zimao distanced himself from Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan’s palm left the temperature from Lin Zimao’s clothes, Lin Zimao also has a faint scent of perfume.
The two of them waited for the elevator to reach the first floor as if nothing had happened4若無其事 (ruò wú qí shì): as if nothing had happened (idiom); calm; composed; uncaring; impervious; nonchalant., perhaps the atmosphere was too ambiguous, they didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end.
Jiang Xuan and Yu Laoshi took a taxi to the hospital, now they have to take a taxi to eat.
After getting into the car, Jiang Xuan asked Lin Zimao: “What do you want to eat?”
Lin Zimao leaned back lazily, careful5小心翼翼 (xiǎo xīn yì yì): cautious and solemn (idiom); very carefully; gently and cautiously; cautious; prudent; wary; with great care; cautiously; This meant serious and respectful; Now it is described as being cautious and not daring to neglect. not to let the back of his head touch the backrest: “I’m good with anything.”
The driver drove the car over a food street near the school, but the flying taxi did not go down, but went to another street adjacent to the food street.
The two got out of the car.
Lin Zimao raised his eyes to look at the small store in front of him, a little surprised that Jiang Xuan didn’t take him to that kind of very elegant restaurant, it’s not elegant here, but the layout is quite unique, there are several pots of succulents planted at the entrance, which are very down-to-earth, it kept very moist.
Today’s menu is written in chalk on the blackboard placed at the entrance.
Today’s lunch special: Spicy beef offal rice set meal6香辣牛雜飯套餐 (xiāng là niú zá fàn tàocān): spicy beef offal rice set meal. 
, Yangzhou fried rice7揚州炒飯 (yángzhōu chǎofàn): Yangzhou fried rice. 
.
Jiang Xuan chose the booth at the back and sat down.
Lin Zimao actually preferred the window seat, so he asked him: “Why not choose a window seat, I think the view is good.”
Jiang Xuan picked up the menu and said: “Don’t want to be watched.”
Lin Zimao understood.
The restaurant is on the first floor, the windows are all made of transparent glass, with Jiang Xuan’s appearance, it is inevitable that passers-by will take a few more glances, don’t want to get into trouble indeed have to try to stay away from the crowd as much as possible.
Lin Zimao chose the spicy beef offal set meal written at the entrance, and Jiang Xuan chose Yangzhou fried rice.
Jiang Xuan glanced at Lin Zimao, he didn’t expect him to eat spicy food.
Lin Zimao didn’t expect Jiang Xuan to choose fried rice, unexpectedly saved money, housekeeping.
Jiang Xuan usually doesn’t talk much, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t talk.
Lin Zimao almost had an accident today, he was actually a little nervous when he heard it, anyone would be scared at that time.
Their relationship cannot be told to outsiders, but after all, they have begun to get familiar with each other.
While waiting for the meal, he asked Lin Zimao: “Are you afraid today?”
Lin Zimao wanted to shake his head, but then nodded instead: “Afraid.”
Jiang Xuan feels there’s nothing wrong when he heard it, but felt strange, the other new students were all still badly shaken8驚魂未定 (jīng hún wèi dìng): not yet recovered from a fright; still badly shaken; still in a state of shock; Refers to the mood has not calmed down after being frightened., but Lin Zimao wasn’t affected at all, after waking up, he calmly asked about Ren Siran.
Jiang Xuan said: “You almost lost your life.”
Lin Zimao held his chin and looked at him, his eyes were clear and straightforward: “Are you worried about me?”
The corners of Jiang Xuan’s mouth tensed: “Not worried.”
Lin Zimao swallowed his saliva and smiled: “Are you really not worried about me? Then I’m really pitiful.”
Jiang Xuan conveniently asked: “How are you pitiful?”
Lin Zimao joked with him: “My marriage partner doesn’t cherish me.”
Jiang Xuan’s hand holding the glass of water trembled slightly.
Indeed, they are married.
After all these days, today, he feel more realistic about him being married.
Lin Zimao found an embarrassed expression on his face other than the cold face, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The waiter just happened to came here to bring the meal.
Lin Zimao’s spicy beef offal set meal is more exquisite than Lin Zimao imagined, just the right amount of food.
Jiang Xuan finished his fried rice bit by bit with a spoon.
The set meals are all served with thickly simmered chicken broth9熬製濃雞湯 (áo zhì nóng jītāng): thickly simmered chicken broth. 
, neither of them ordered extra drinks.
The lunch was quite satisfying, Jiang Xuan paid for it.
This afternoon’s military training was cancelled, Lin Zimao didn’t want to go back to the training base so soon.
When standing at the entrance of the restaurant and preparing to leave, Lin Zimao made a request to Jiang Xuan: “I don’t want to go to school, I want to go back to see Jiaoyan.”
Jiang Xuan agreed with him: “Okay.” He also stayed in the military training base for nearly two weeks, he also doesn’t want to go back for the time being.
Ten minutes later, they landed in front of the small villa.
Lin Zimao called Jiaoyan as soon as he entered the house, and Jiang Xuan entered the door behind him.
Jiaoyan responded and ran downstairs, Lin Zimao was about to bend down to hug him, but the fat cat didn’t even give him a look, instead it ran to rub Jiang Xuan’s calf and turned twice around his leg.
Lin Zimao found that Jiaoyan’s body shape has become thinner, and looked at Jiang Xuan: “It seems to be a little lighter.”
Jiang Xuan was almost scalded by his eyes, his eyes moved to Jiaoyan, who was turning at his feet: “Congratulations to its weight loss success.”
Only then did Lin Zimao remember that Jiang Xuan took Jiaoyan to see a doctor last week, when he came back, he told him that Jiaoyan was too fat and had to lose weight.
While Lin Zimao was trying to understand, he only saw Jiang Xuan’s figure disappearing in the stairwell, very coldly refusing Jiaoyan’s approach.
“Wait, how did it lose weight successfully?”
Jiang Xuan didn’t seem to hear anything, but the pace of going upstairs was a little faster than usual.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Xuan: I cherish you10我疼你的 (wǒ téng nǐ de): T/N: Can also be translated as ‘I care about you’. According to Chinese netizen, 愛 (ài), is a broad sense of love, love between family, friends, lovers, and so on; While 疼你 (téng nǐ), other than love, there’s also a meaning of taking care and protecting..
