I Love Contract Couples So Much Chapter 24

Chapter 24 An Injury Cheng Yuxin’s heart is no longer here…

On the way down the mountain, Jiang Chen actually had a premonition that he would have a fever.After all, not only was it raining, it was also blown by the wind for so long.

But his skin was dark enough that even if his body started to feel hot and hot, nothing could be seen on his face.

He deliberately did not hold Cheng Yuxin’s hand and walked in front alone.His steps were not fast, but fortunately, Cheng Yuxin was slower than him.

He began to feel lucky that Cheng Yuxin’s physical fitness was so poor.

When he arrived at the parking lot, Jiang Chen was actually a little confused.He dug out Cheng Yuxin’s leftover dark chocolate from his backpack and found a cup of canned coffee.The coffee was cold, and the dark chocolate entered his stomach, making him more awake.

Under the influence of caffeine, I finally returned to the hotel without any danger.

While Cheng Yuxin was taking a bath, Jiang Chen went to the pharmacy opposite the hotel to buy antipyretics and cold medicine.He regretted not preparing these things in advance.After all, he had hardly ever been sick since he was a child, and he had a deep aversion to hospitals, clinics, and any medicine.

When Cheng Yuxin came out, Jiang Chen had already taken medicine.As soon as he entered the bathroom, warm water vapor with a light fragrance hit his face, briefly waking up Jiang Chen’s brain that was confused due to fever: this was the smell of Cheng Yuxin.

While taking a shower, Jiang Chen felt extremely dizzy whether it was because the medicine was starting to take effect or simply because the temperature of the water was too high.He was afraid that he would make strange noises in the bathroom and attract Cheng Yuxin’s attention, so he hurriedly rushed out a few times and came out early.

After coming out, Jiang Chen realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.Cheng Yuxin was probably really tired. She lay down on the bed with an upright posture, her eyes closed tightly, and her lips naturally opened slightly, showing off her beautiful lip shape to the fullest.His breathing was steady and long, and he was obviously fast asleep.

Looking at the unprepared and peaceful sleeping face, Jiang Chen smiled softly.It took a long time before his eyes moved away from those tempting lips.

Opening the closet, she saw that Cheng Yuxin’s dress was still hanging in its original place.I must be so tired that I don’t even have time to prepare the clothes I will wear tomorrow.Jiang Chen’s smile contained a hint of tolerant helplessness.But full of happiness and satisfaction.

After taking out the dress and hanging it in front of the full-length mirror, Jiang Chen simply tidied it up and then used a steam iron to iron the uneven areas.Only when the leader’s mouth was smooth and meticulous did Jiang Chen put down the iron with satisfaction.

After arranging his clothes, Jiang Chen took out Cheng Yuxin’s shoes from the shoe cabinet.The top-quality leather shoes are well-maintained, and even if they have been neglected for so many days, they still have a luxurious luster with a low-key texture.

Jiang Chen had never been exposed to such fine luxury goods before meeting Cheng Yuxin. Even though he had done his homework in advance, he still did not dare to do it rashly. He simply wiped it with the matching tools and stopped, placing the shoes on the carpet in front of the door.Cheng Yuxin used to change her shoes at that location every time before going out.

After preparing everything Cheng Yuxin might need tomorrow, Jiang Chen lay down next to Cheng Yuxin.Probably because of the high fever, Jiang Chen felt that Cheng Yuxin’s body was cold, like a natural cooling ice pack, so he couldn’t help but stick closer to her.

Cheng Yuxin seemed to feel the unusually high temperature beside her in her sleep, and her body naturally leaned into Jiang Chen’s arms.Jiang Chen took advantage of the situation and hugged him tightly, feeling his burning heart full and feeling unprecedentedly comfortable.

Even though the beauty was in his arms, Jiang Chen still couldn’t sleep.The mind that was eroded by the high temperature was sometimes the downpour on Guanyin Mountain, and sometimes the shelves of the pharmacy filled with medicines.The smell of disinfectant, the sound of the ambulance… those long-faded memories seemed to wake up along with his high fever.

Jiang Chen hates the taste of any medicine.Because since he can remember, his life has been saturated with the smell of various drugs.The smell of Chinese medicine, Western medicine, alcohol, disinfectant.

Everything was prepared for Jiang Chen’s father.

When he was very young, Jiang Chen, like his mother, had blindly optimistic expectations about his father’s condition.

How can we not look forward to it? The child has already been born.How can we not look forward to it? All children have a father.

But as she looked forward to it, the light in her mother’s eyes went out, and Jiang Chen’s expectations were also disappointed.

He no longer expected that the man who could only lie in bed and drink medicine would be like other fathers, sending him to school, picking him up from class, lifting him above his head and spinning him in circles, taking him to amusement parks, and buying him gifts.

But my mother wouldn’t do that either.She has exhausted all her efforts to pay for her husband’s treatment.She has no extra energy to take care of herself or her children.

Jiang Chen’s clothes were old clothes worn by children of distant relatives, and the stationery was bought by the teacher with his own money.Even the three meals a day are eaten by one neighbor and one by that neighbor.Fortunately, people in the village are related to each other and know the situation of Jiang Chen’s family to some extent, so no one refuses a seven or eight-year-old child to come to the house for a meal, and will even give him fruit snacks after the meal.

But whenever he came back from his neighbor’s house and saw the man who looked like a dead body but was still alive on the bed, Jiang Chen would always get angry for no reason.He couldn’t remember how many times he broke the medicine bowl containing Chinese medicine, nor how many times he knelt in front of the bed and admitted his mistake amidst his mother’s scolding.

He was right, he was just doing it for his mother.

Later, he no longer had this only excuse.In order to escape from a home that was always filled with the smell of medicine, Jiang Chen chose boarding school when he was in high school.The college entrance examination was over. Since there was no computer at home, Jiang Chen could only go back to school to check his results.

When we went out, it had actually started to rain.But Jiang Chen still didn’t go home to get an umbrella. He resolutely jumped on the bus to the county town and never looked back.

So he didn’t see his mother hurriedly holding an umbrella.

In the homeroom teacher’s office, eighteen-year-old Jiang Chen felt that he would never forget the moment he saw the score until his death.

He may become the first and so far the only person in the county to be admitted to Yucheng University.This realization not only made Jiang Chen, but also Jiang Chen’s class teacher excited.

The two of them calmed down in front of the computer for a long time because of this good news.

But in fact, in just a few years, no matter how many times he thought of that day, Jiang Chen’s memory was only filled with the figure of his mother riding an electric bike in the rain.

The pouring rain outside the window woke up the two people who were immersed in excitement.The head teacher collected two umbrellas from other teachers’ workstations, and they parted ways at the school gate.Jiang Chen held an umbrella and walked toward the station alone, his steps unusually brisk.

He felt that everything was getting better. Except for the guy at home who couldn’t die no matter what, everything was moving in a good direction.

After turning around the intersection, the road conditions where the station is located have always been complicated, with traffic accidents happening frequently, not to mention the heavy rain today.Jiang Chen, who had gone to school nearby for three years, was already prepared for this, but he didn’t expect his mother to show up here.

When Jiang Chen ran towards the truck that rammed because of the blind spot, his mother had already been rolled under the car.

Jiang Chen fell into the rain.The truck was stopped by the staff who rushed out of the station. Jiang Chen got up in embarrassment and stumbled towards the truck.Someone stopped him, another staff member.

Jiang Chen couldn’t remember clearly what happened next. He only remembered that when the time for his head teacher to urge him to apply for a volunteer was about to end, he was still guarding his mother in the hospital.

My father was still lying at home, and my aunt, who was married far away, came all the way back for this purpose.During the few days Jiang Chen was in the hospital, his father was taken care of by his aunt.

Jiang Chen felt like his head was blank. He couldn’t make any decisions or think about anything.Until the teacher from the admissions office of Xincheng University found him.

Although Xincheng University is also an upper-middle-class school, its reputation, teaching level, and school resources are far from being comparable to Yucheng University.

Both the class teacher and the principal strongly recommended that he apply to Yucheng University, no matter which major.The admissions teacher at Xincheng University patiently analyzed the pros and cons of each major with him.

Jiang Chen couldn’t understand. His brain didn’t resume functioning. Although his eyes were looking at the teacher, he couldn’t actually see anything.

“…The school will bear all the treatment costs for your parents. And if necessary, you can take your father to the school with you. Our school’s affiliated hospital is very close to the school. If your father is transferred to us, all the expenses will be reimbursed…”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen finally reacted and saw the admissions teacher who had always been patient.

“I’ll think about it.” Although he said this, he actually had no one with whom he could discuss it.The head teacher would only suggest that he give Yucheng University a try.

And mother…

That night, my mother left.The next day, Jiang Chen went to school to fill in his application form.

The head teacher’s eyes were filled with disappointment, but he still comforted Jiang Chen and said, “The school supports all your decisions unconditionally. If you have any difficulties at home, just tell us.”

Jiang Chen couldn’t remember whether he answered or not.

In the days that followed, Jiang Chen kept working hard to keep that man alive.Because his mother’s last words before her death were for him to take good care of his father.

It was obvious that he had never taken care of himself.

Three years later, even that man was gone.

Jiang Chen never smelled the smell of medicine again.

Maybe it was because it took too long. When he woke up the next day, Jiang Chen’s fever was even worse.This was the only time he woke up later than Cheng Yuxin.

Cheng Yuxin had already changed her clothes and was ready to go out.The dress fit him well and his hairstyle was decent. Looking at the handsome man in the mirror, Cheng Yuxin was very satisfied.

“When will I pick you up?” Jiang Chen was very sure that with his current physical condition, it would be impossible to send Cheng Yuxin to the venue, but he should be able to pick him up in time.

“No, just go do your own thing. Let’s part ways.” Cheng Yuxin said it so easily, as if he had been waiting for this moment a long time ago.

Jiang Chen’s brain, which was burned by the high temperature, seemed to be repeatedly crushed by heavy machinery, rumbling and shaking.

“No…” He gritted his teeth and retorted, his voice dry and hoarse.If it were anyone else, they would hear something strange.

But Cheng Yuxin’s heart was no longer here. He adjusted his clothes one last time and went out eagerly.He didn’t even have time to answer Jiang Chen’s words.
