This contact was extremely brief, lasting less than a second.

Sang Zhi's mind was still blank, and she didn't even have time to react. The next second, she felt that Duan Jiaxu also seemed to freeze, and then he immediately stood up straight and took a step back.

There was a distance between the two that was neither far nor close.

They were standing behind the bus stop, with the light behind them, and the light was extremely dim. Sang Zhi subconsciously raised her head, her expression dull, and met his slightly gloomy gaze.

I don't know what kind of psychology was at play. Sang Zhi didn't dare to look at him, so she immediately withdrew her eyes and took a step back inexplicably. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

She didn't know what the right reaction was.

It seems strange to have too big a reaction, and it would be inappropriate if the reaction is too small.

Otherwise, just pretend nothing happened.

Treat the accident as a trivial matter and continue talking to him normally as usual.

But Sang Zhi couldn't say anything.

When her mind was confused, she wanted to rub her forehead with her sleeve. When she raised her hand, she felt that her move was a bit obvious, so she had to touch her head instead.

Soon, Sang Zhi heard Duan Jiaxu speak. His breathing was a little heavy, as if he was suppressing some pain, and his voice became low and hoarse: "I'm sorry."

Sang Zhi paused and looked at him again.

Only then did I realize that Duan Jiaxu's face was extremely poor. In the weather of this digit, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his hair on his forehead was wet. His lips were so pale that they turned purple, and his masseter muscles were tightened.

The whole person was tense.

It seemed like he was going to fall down the next moment.

Sang Zhi was stunned.

She had never encountered such a situation before, and she suddenly remembered where she seemed to have bumped into him. She was so anxious that she was so frightened that she could hardly speak: "Brother... are you feeling uncomfortable? Did I bump into you somewhere...

"

"What did you bump into?" Duan Jiaxu calmed his breathing and reluctantly curled his lips, "Why don't you just touch it and give your brother a chance to touch the porcelain?"

"I'm sorry." Sang Zhi felt like crying inexplicably, her eyes gradually turned red, and her voice had a nasal sound, "Brother, wait for me here, I'll stop a car."

This time Duan Jiaxu said nothing and said slowly: "Go."

As soon as he walked to the side of the road, an empty taxi happened to be driving by. Sang Zhi quickly stopped it, said something to the driver, and immediately trotted back to Duan Jiaxu.

She helped Duan Jiaxu walk towards the taxi.

Duan Jiaxu's walking speed was a little slower than before, and it seemed that it hurt even if he moved. He suddenly laughed, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "This time it seems that I am really helping the old man."

Sang Zhi couldn't laugh.

"Little Sangzhi, brother doesn't feel like he has a stomachache?" Duan Jiaxu turned his head to look at Sangzhi, as if he was thinking, and spoke slowly, "But brother still--"

"..."

"It really hurts."

After getting on the bus, the driver looked back and noticed Duan Jiaxu's expression: "Did you drink too much or something? What's going on? You won't vomit in the car."

Maybe it was because the pain was relieved a bit after sitting down, Duan Jiaxu's face was not as bad as before, he smiled lightly and said: "Master, don't worry, I can bear it."

The driver frowned and said clearly: "I'll pay you two hundred if you vomit."

"If you vomit, you will be compensated." Sang Zhi said hurriedly, "Uncle, he is not feeling well, it is not because he drank. Please drive to the city hospital, thank you."

The driver said nothing and started the car.

After saying that, Sang Zhi subconsciously looked in the direction of Duan Jiaxu. He was leaning on the back of the chair, sitting lazily, with one hand covering his lower right abdomen.

Sang Zhi didn't want him to bother talking anymore, so she didn't take the initiative to say anything.

It was Duan Jiaxu who spoke first: "Sang Zhi, fasten your seat belt."

She subconsciously made a sound, pulled the seat belt from the right rear, and when she was about to buckle it, she suddenly remembered that he hadn't fastened it either. Sang Zhi stopped, immediately let go, and moved closer to him.

Probably noticing her movements, Duan Jiaxu's eyelids moved: "What?"

Sang Zhi reached out to touch the seat belt next to him and muttered: "I'll fasten it for you."

Duan Jiaxu smiled: "Why are you tying it for my brother? My brother asked you to lace it for yourself."

"I'll tie it for you, and you sit tight." Sang Zhi shook his head and insisted, "Brother, you can sleep for a while and you won't feel the pain anymore. I'll call you when you get there."

"Okay, that's troublesome, little Sangzhi." Duan Jiaxu didn't refuse, sitting on the same spot, tilting his head and staring at her, "I want you to take care of my brother."

Fortunately, the city hospital is not far away either.

The driver parked the car at the entrance of the hospital. Sang Zhi paid the money, helped Duan Jiaxu into the hospital, and then went to give him emergency treatment.

The doctor asked Duan Jiaxu to take a X-ray, which confirmed that it was acute appendicitis. Sang Zhi listened and roughly said that his condition had been going on for a long time, and he would have perforated if he came later.

By then it will no longer be a minor problem.

She pursed her lips and glanced at him.

Duan Jiaxu didn't seem to care too much. The corners of his eyes curled up and he just smiled.

Afterwards, the doctor wrote something in the medical record, asked Sang Zhi to pay the money first, and then arranged the surgery.

Sang Zhi nodded, looked at the receipt, and turned to walk outside. Before she had walked a few steps, Duan Jiaxu stopped her and called out: "Sang Zhi."

Sang Zhi turned around: "What's wrong?"

"There is a card inside, and the password is my brother's birthday." Duan Jiaxu handed her the wallet from his pocket, his tone was gentle and gentle, "Thank you, Xiao Sangzhi, for your help."

She stared at him for a few seconds and then said, "Okay."

This is just a minor surgical operation with very little risk and does not take long.

After she paid the money and went back, Duan Jiaxu noticed the time and said proactively: "Xiao Sangzhi, it's nine o'clock. It's time for you to go back to school. It's not safe to be later."

Sang Zhi didn't move.

"It's not a big deal," Duan Jiaxu said. "After the surgery, the disease will be fine after a few days of rest. When you have time, just come over and see my brother."

Sang Zhi handed the sheet to the doctor and said, "I'll wait for you to come out before going back."

"It will take an hour." Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows, his face still almost sickly white, "Aren't you bored out there alone?"

Sang Zhi was in a bad mood and said dully: "Stop talking."

"Okay." Duan Jiaxu smiled again, "Brother, I won't say anything anymore."

Sang Zhi didn't speak anymore and stood silently next to him. It suddenly occurred to her that if she hadn't made an appointment with him to have dinner together today, she probably wouldn't have gone to the hospital according to what he just said on the phone.

Her heart was inexplicably filled with panic.

After Duan Jiaxu entered the operating room, Sang Zhi sat outside and waited.

Afraid that her roommates would be worried, she said in the dormitory group, "I may go back late tonight," and then opened the web page and searched for "Precautions after appendicitis surgery."

After a while, Sang Zhi put away her phone and suddenly remembered the accident at the bus stop. She subconsciously touched her forehead. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but at this moment, the place where he touched her began to feel hot.

It seemed to be burning.

At that moment, the breath he breathed out seemed to still be wrapped around her body.

An extremely intimate distance.

never mind.

Forget it.

Forget it!

She was the one who bumped into him first, but she even apologized after being bumped into.

Analyzing the specific situation, it seems that she took advantage of him. And it was just a bump on the forehead, so it was not a big deal.

They are no longer children...

Judging from his reaction, it seemed that he didn't take this matter too seriously.

Before Sang Zhi could continue to think wildly, the phone in his hand vibrated, and the caller ID read "Mom." Noticing the time at the top of the screen, Sang Zhi quickly picked up the call: "Mom."

Liping's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Excuse me, haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?"

Because she came so far to go to school, Liping told her in advance that she would have a phone call at ten o'clock every night. If she had anything to do, she could send her a WeChat message.

Sang Zhi didn't lie: "Yes."

Liping: "Did you go out with your friends?"

"No," Sang Zhi said, "Mom, the friend of my brother I met here was the one who tutored me when I was in junior high school, Duan Jiaxu."

Liping: "Hey, mom remembers."

"Because he helped me a lot, I wanted to treat him to a meal." Sang Zhi explained, "But he got sick, so I sent him to the hospital. He is in the hospital now."

Liping: "Are you sick? Is it serious?"

Sang Zhi: "It's acute appendicitis, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Then you should take more care of the child. There is no one at home." Li Ping sighed, "You should also pay attention to yourself and go back early, you know?"
