MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 18
It was already so embarrassing, who cares so much, after Tang Suoyan drank, Tao Xiaodong drank the rest of the water, and the water bottle stood aside.
Time passed very slowly while doing this and waiting, hot and anxious, Tao Xiaodong started to talk and asked, "Have you ever had this kind of experience?"
Tang Suo said, "What kind? Trapped on the road?"
Tao Xiaodong said yes.
Tang Suo said he had.
Tao Xiaodong looked over, but Tang Suoyan didn't turn his head, he still looked at the mountain in front of him and said, "There was a car accident".
Tao Xiaodong was shocked, subconsciously said: "Huh?"
Tang Suoyan recalled: "It's also a mountain road. I sat on the side of the road while waiting for the ambulance, but it wasn't so hot that day."
Tao Xiaodong was terrified and asked him, "Is it serious?"
Tang Suoyan shook his head, and said calmly: "It's not serious, you see, I can still sit and wait for someone to come, how serious is it?"
"Is there anyone else in the car? Or is it just you?"
Tang Suo said yes.
Tao Xiaodong asked how the others were doing, Tang Suoyan said it was all right, and just shook his head.
It happened several years ago, and Tang Suoyan just said it casually. Tao Xiaodong felt quite uncomfortable when he heard it, and after a while he raised his arm and stroked Tang Suoyan's back from top to bottom twice, with a man's comforting strength, and said "peace and peace".
Tang Suoyan laughed and looked at Tao Xiaodong.
Tao Xiaodong frowned lightly, probably not realizing it.
Tang Suoyan turned his gaze away, said with a faint smile, "You've stained my clothes with the sweat on my back."
Tao Xiaodong himself was sweating all over, and neither of them was much better. Tang Suoyan's fairy spirit was gone, the shirt was stuck to his body when he was slapped by Tao Xiaodong just now, his forehead was sweating, and he was sitting on the ground with his arms on his knees, no scholarly demeanor.
Tang Suoyan reached out to the back and pulled the clothes so that it would not stick to the back. Shirt and trousers, when sitting so slightly forward, the part of the shirt around the waist will be very tight, and it will be held by the belt.
Tao Xiaodong is much better. His short sleeves and sweatpants are loose and loose, so he can grab them to breathe in the heat.
Later, Tao Huainan woke up, and called brother in a daze.
Tao Xiaodong said "Hey" and said, "Are you awake? I'm outside the car."
Tao Huainan came over and sat on the edge, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tao Xiaodong said: "The car can't be driven anymore, just wait."
"Ah." Tao Huainan didn't rush, since his brother and Dr. Tang were there anyway.
Tang Suoyan looked back at Tao Huainan, and asked him with a smile: "You can't smell me now, can you? It's all buried in sweat."
Tao Huainan smiled and nodded: "I can't smell it anymore."
"He always said he could smell you, but I haven't smelled anything until now." Tao Xiaodong said.
Tang Suoyan said: "I can't smell it either, I'm used to it. Maybe it's the fragrance made by my mother at home. After a long time, the smell sticks to the clothes."
The sun took a step towards the west, and the shadow moved forward slowly, covering the small patch of shade they barely covered. When the car came, Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan were both standing, and put away all the clothes they were riding on. The three changed cars, and the driver also changed. After getting into the car, Tao Xiaodong sighed, "I'm alive."
Tang Suoyan smiled.
The driver this time was a young man who had been sent by the county hospital before. Say sorry to them while driving, this kind of thing happened.
"It's okay." Tao Xiaodong said, "It's good to see the scenery."
The next half of the trip went smoothly. In the afternoon, I arrived at the old small county town I was going to. The hospital had been waiting for him, so Tang Suoyan had to show his face anyway. The driver took Tao Xiaodong and Tao Huainan directly to a small hotel in the county, which only had four floors and looked small.
The rooms were all handled uniformly. Tao Xiaodong reported his name, and the little girl at the front desk faced the form and muttered: "403 or 404...oh it's 403."
She took a room card and swiped it to Tao Xiaodong, smiling.
Tao Xiaodong said thank you, pushed the box with his left hand and pulled Tao Huainan with his right hand, holding the room card between his fingers.
After entering the room, Tao Huainan exhaled and whispered, "I'm so tired."
Tao Xiaodong took him to a chair and let him sit, and said, "I'm going to take a shower and I'm sweating."
"Okay." Tao Huainan replied, sat down on the chair obediently, and took out his mobile phone.
At this time, Chi Cheng is still in class and cannot send messages. Tao Huainan clicked back and forth, there was nothing to do, and he picked up his phone again.
Tao Xiaodong went in to take a shower as soon as he entered the door. There was a small instant water heater hanging on the wall. The water temperature was not very stable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Tao Xiaodong also washed his hair, the shampoo brought by the hotel was sticky and didn't lather very much, Tao Xiaodong felt refreshed after washing for a long time.
I took out a towel and wiped the water on my body casually, that is to say, after sweeping it, many drops of water were still hanging on my body, on my neck, back, and legs.
When he came in, he didn't take any clothes, and he couldn't wear the ones he took off, so Tao Xiaodong took a towel and wrapped it around his crotch. His younger brother is more casual in this aspect when he can't see Tao Xiaodong, but what can't be seen is what can't be seen. A towel still needs to be surrounded, and what should be blocked must be blocked, otherwise it will not be the case.
Tao Xiaodong opened the box and squatted there looking through his clothes.
Tao Huainan asked, "Is there hot water?"
"Yes," Tao Xiaodong said, "it's not very stable, so you can adjust it while washing, so you don't catch a cold."
Tao Huainan agreed.
Tao Xiaodong pulled out his underwear, put it on, and tore off the loose towel. With the towel still in his hand, the door suddenly rang, and there was an electronic "beep" when the card was swiped to open the door. Without giving Tao Xiaodong time to react, the door opened directly.
Tang Suoyan met Tao Xiaodong's eyes, and Tang Suoyan was stunned.
Tao Xiaodong opened his mouth, and the two stared at each other dryly, both a little dazed. Tang Suoyan opened the door and settled there with only one leg. Tao Xiaodong couldn't figure out the situation better than him, so he blinked and called "Brother Yan".
"...I'm sorry." Tang Suoyan reacted first, "I may have gone wrong."
After saying a word, he quickly exited and closed the door.
After the door closed, Tao Xiaodong put the towel in his hand on the table, and looked down at himself. The upper half is empty, the lower half is empty, only the middle part is wearing a pair of underwear.
Tao Huainan suddenly laughed beside him, and asked, "Brother, are you dressed yet?"
Tao Xiaodong: "It's worn."
Tao Huainan got up to take a shower. When he passed by his brother, he stroked and pulled down on his side waist until he reached his legs. After touching, he said with a smile, "Oh, it's so embarrassing."
Tao Xiaodong flicked on his head, a bit dumbfounded.
After Tang Suoyan closed the door, he was still blinded for two seconds before turning around and going downstairs.
He gave the room card to the front desk: "Check the room number for me."
The little girl stared wide-eyed, checked the list again with an inexplicable expression, and said, "That's right, it's 404, that's right."
Tang Suoyan looked at her and said helplessly, "You just said 403."
"Ah..." The little girl immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Tang Suoyan sighed: "You can help me brush it again."
"Okay." The front desk immediately swiped the card again, apologizing non-stop.
Tang Suoyan said "It's okay", turned around and went upstairs again. When he passed 403, he subconsciously glanced at the door, remembering the scene just now, and took two steps faster.
In fact, they are all men, so it's not a big deal to look at them like this. It's so normal for brothers to make an appointment to take a bath together. Not to mention that Tao Xiaodong is still wearing underwear, it doesn't matter if he is completely naked. Tian Yi has seen it countless times.
The problem is that neither of these two is straight, and they know that the other is not straight, so this makes a trivial matter that is originally very ordinary, awkward and awkward. Perhaps compared to Tao Xiaodong, Tang Suoyan was more awkward, after all, he opened the wrong door and was abrupt.
Because of this small matter, whether it was intentional or unintentional, neither of them had dinner together at night. According to their habits during this time, they must eat together. In the evening, when it was time for dinner, no one was looking for anyone. Tao Xiaodong went downstairs to get the meal by himself, and came back to eat with Tao Huainan in the room. Tang Suoyan went to the restaurant by himself.
Turning off the lights at night, Tao Xiaodong had a bunch of messages waiting for his reply during the day on his mobile phone, while Tao Huainan lay on another bed and called Chi Cheng.
Tao Huainan owed Chi Cheng and said, "Dr. Tang saw that I didn't wear any clothes today."
He whispered it to the wall with his earphones on, and Chi Cheng asked, "What's going on?"
Tao Huainan said "hey": "Dr. Tang went to the wrong door after taking a bath."
Chi Cheng: "What about you?"
Tao Huainan said, "I haven't washed yet, I'm sitting, my brother is blind."
He didn't deliberately lower his chatting voice, nor was he afraid of Tao Xiaodong listening. Not knowing what was said on the phone, Tao Huainan still laughed, and said after laughing, "Who knows him."
Tao Xiaodong also smiled when he heard them talking on the phone. He put on his shorts before going out of the bathroom after taking a shower at night, and Tao Huainan laughed at him when he came out.
Early the next morning, Tao Xiaodong got up and called Tang Suoyan, asking him if he had finished packing.
Tang Suoyan said that he was already in the hospital. He left early in the morning and arrived at six o'clock.
Everyone was busy at noon, and they didn't see each other throughout the day. Tang Suoyan is a bit busy, there are too many patients. For dinner, Tang Suoyan was so busy that he ate something casually, but he didn't see him.
Tao Huainan ate a lot of noodles for dinner, after the meal Tao Xiaodong took him out for a walk to digest. It was a long walk along the side street, the county town is not big, Tao Huainan liked to walk in unfamiliar places like this, Tao Xiaodong took him for a while longer.
He also bought a lot of food for Tao Huainan, Tao Huainan likes to eat beef jerky.
After returning, Tao Huainan went to take a shower, and Tao Xiaodong knocked on the door next door.
Tang Suoyan opened the door, saw him, and called out quite naturally: "Xiaodong."
Tao Xiaodong was more natural. He handed him two paper bags of beef jerky, and said with a smile, "This one is quite delicious. When you don't eat, you can chew two pieces of beef jerky."
Tang Suoyan took it and said "OK".
Passing and receiving, when handing over, the fingertips touched accidentally, neither of them raised their eyes, as if they didn't care much.
Tao Xiaodong said: "Then I'll go, you should go to bed earlier."
Tang Suoyan nodded: "Okay, you too."
