[I]
Gu Xiran hit someone.
Like the plot of a ghost movie, the road is empty in the middle of the night, and the sleepy driver with a cigarette in his mouth, holding the steering wheel carelessly.
Then tragedy struck.
The drowsy driver had a long reflex arc, and he looked at the man who fell in front of his car covered in blood, he felt frozen, confused, and stunned. He was horrified to shake off the residual midnight car radio in his mind, thinking that listening to the horror FM for the sake of refreshment, but this gets bad luck, hits a person, it's self-destructive!
He sat on the bench outside the emergency room, for ten minutes, a quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour ...... Gu Xiran finally berserk, that person is dead or alive? please give a word ah.
The hospital's cold bench on a winter night was all kinds of shabby, cold from the tailbone wrapped around the spine straight to the back of the head. He looked at those angels in white at the pale fluorescent lights in and out. He wants to go up to ask a question, but they do not pay attention.
He intuition this time too bad, everywhere at this thing are with strange, the fortune teller said the day before yesterday that he had a big robbery in the year of his destiny was sarcastically cut by him, now think about the old man left before looking at him, he is regretted right now.
This kind of thing can not escape, Gu Xiran sat rigidly, in tears, only hoping that the one lying inside is not what the head of the main, this year the privileged class casually pinch a death is not news if it is the general public he can also fight for a private settlement, give up the child can not set the wolf ...... No, no, you can't give up money to live.
The last hour of the second day of the year, cold and clear, his temples ache.

The air in the ward had a characteristic sterile water smell, Gu Xiran looked at the man who took off the oxygen mask on the bed and felt overwhelmed.
The man has the same kind of cold color as the hospital, a small half-face covered in white gauze under the gauze outside that eye faintly measured him, the most wonderful is that the eye is actually a beautiful pale blue iris, the pupils are dark and translucent, that secretly guarded look especially like the ancient Egyptians love to brake a kind of cat.
Damn, actually international friends! What is this thing!
"Hello."
No response.
"What's your name?"
No response.
"Can I help you?"
......
Gu Xiran used up his only few English reserves, after not getting a response, he silently being afraid, thinking that did he have the wrong pronunciation?
The man is silent, his eyes are quiet, and his lips are dry and cracked, slightly crusty. Gu Xiran suddenly felt some guilt, this man is alone in a foreign country, however, he bumped into this man, now can only lying in bed not to mention, but also no one to take care of, the New Year's hospital was cold, doctors and nurses who can go home are all at home, after all, the place obscure, this one night is estimated even water did not drink a bite.
"Do you want to drink water? W A T E R?", He acted.
The man blinked his eyes outside the gauze, Gu Xiran found that his eyelashes are very Nordic characteristics, curly and dense, like the fluttering black butterfly wings, the blinks let his heart instantly soften a lot.
He found a disposable water cup to receive a cup of water, half cold, half hot, through the paper cup is not hot, but has difficulty when sent to the man's mouth, because not a senior ward the bed can not shake high, and he could not touch the man can not be half up.
"Wait for a while before you drink, I'll be back in a minute." He squeezed the thin quilt under the man's shoulders and turned around to walk out of the ward.
He always felt a cold behind him, shivering a few times, and only after closing the door did it ease.
The hospital is really not a clean place.
After a while, Gu Xiran carried a bunch of things into the ward, a bed blanket, several bottles of milk, milk powder, towels, two large cases of dumplings, and a thermos.
Helped the man add a bed blanket, wiped his face with a towel dipped in water, poured out the cooled water in the paper cup, pour a small half cup of warm water, the cup inserted a straw removed from the Mengniu to the man's mouth.
"Drink it."
The man's only remaining pale blue eyes stared at him, half a long time no words, Gu Xiran was helpless, "Bro, do not do so, this is cold violence, not to mention that you are injured and can not be strong," a pause, "I hit you is my fault, before your relatives and friends to pick you up I will be responsible for you, you do not worry. The doctor said that no bones and internal organs were hurt, only the trauma was heavy, too much blood loss, recuperation can be good."
"Responsible for me?" The man's voice was slightly deep.
Yo, his Chinese is good, so good voice and should talk more talk not noble and cold, bro your keywords were caught so accurately......
The man finally moved his eyes away and began to stare at the straw.
Only looks, but doesn't drink
Gu Xiran frustratingly get up the cup, drink all of the water using the straw, and the empty glass was placed on the bedside table.
The man began to stare at him again.
Gu Xiran felt like he was about to cry, this person quietly plays the driver who hit him, is it really fun, is it really fun? This little eye like water, long eyelashes, pale blue eyes just so stare at you, who can suffer ah.
He silently took a new cup and pour a small half cup of water, and remove a straw from the man's mouth, one hand slightly lifted the back of his head, the man instantly stiffened, the whole body tense, if Gu Xiran often watches the animal world will know that this is the performance of large felines into the hunting or defensive state.
Obviously, Gu Xiran does not look at the animal world.
The man's bloodless lips were pursed tightly, showing a weak pallor; his eyelashes trembled slightly as if a frozen butterfly.
"What's wrong, my hands are icy to you, I guess, so sorry." Gu Xiran pondered the next time to bring two hand warmers, the hospital heating gives really shabby.
The man raised his eyes to look at him and found that the man was smiling at him slightly apologetically, with a soothing and faintly bemused look. Is this person a Jiangnan person? it is said that Jiangnan people are afraid of cold, with warm and soft characteristics, otherwise, how will have such a gentle smile?
So he forgave this person for his almost offensive touch and took a bite of the straw and drank up the water in the same way.
Gu Xiran is completely unaware that he has just wandered in the line of life and death, but also times silly to think that this buddy drinking water that seriously was little looks really cute, not in vain he accompanied the bed coaxing persuasion for so long.
"Eat some dumplings, now is the third day of the year, I caused you to lie here." Gu Xiran removed the plastic bag, a hand slightly holding up his head, chopping the dumplings to his mouth, "leek and pork filling, taste good."
The man's expression suddenly went cold, eyes down, and did not speak, a head of black silk with the movement of the head in his hand softly rubbed, there is a resigned stubbornness. Gu Xiran just felt he was a poor guy, maybe he just lost his temper with him who hit him, so he treated him like treated a kitten, softening his voice.
"Eat while it's hot, or feel the leeks rushed mouth, I went down to buy you over."
"Nothing to do with you."
"Ha?"
"I was injured has nothing to do with you, you do not need to be responsible."
...... hard to hit the brain? Ninety-nine percent of the cases at this time are ruthless slaughter for money, half a life without worry ah.
"Are you serious? I only paid the deposit and part of the processing fee, the rest of the hospital fees you need to solve yourself, your ID card, passport, visa, cash, bank card, and cell phone are in the hotel right now. By the way buddy, what's your name." Gu Xiran half-jokingly said.
"Jun Ran", this big paragraph he only understood the last sentence.
"Yo, a gentleman is dignified, like dyeing the moonlight, this Chinese name is really elegant. My name is Gu Xiran, nice to meet you, long time admiration." He raised one eyebrow diagonally and continued to joke. The temperature in the palm of his hand is a bit high, he will have to get a thermometer to measure if he has a fever, and the wound must not get infected.
The man did not turn his head, just "hmm" and stopped talking.
The man was serious?
"I'm leaving. Oh, pay the hospital fees by yourself."
"Hospital fees?"
Gu Xiran put the person in place, took out his hand, ate a bite of dumplings by himself, and said vaguely, "...... is the money to pay during the hospital ah." This child's Chinese is not good.
Jun Ran knew he had no more money on him, his bloodstained clothes had been changed, not to mention that he had not been in the habit of carrying precious artifacts with him because that might expose his identity. Trying his luck slightly, his body could still hold out for a long time.
"I can be discharged from the hospital."
Gu Xiran choked for a moment, "Are you serious?"
There's no need to be nice enough to help me save this money, really.
