After Luo Rui got into the car, he was still anxious, rubbed his fingers with his head down, and didn't speak for a long time.
Cheng Sheng turned to look at Luo Rui, and asked tentatively, "Is that your boyfriend?"
"Ex, boyfriend." Li Shuo smiled.
"Children are developing so well nowadays." Cheng Sheng sighed.
"Well, the physical development is not bad."
Luo Rui felt a little hot on the skin.
Li Shuo glanced at him in the rearview mirror, with a smile on his lips.
Li Shuo originally planned to be a vegetarian restaurant, but temporarily changed it to a Korean barbecue. Cheng Sheng joked: "Aren't you on a diet, why do you want to eat barbecue again?"
Li Shuo smiled and said, "I can't bear to let you eat vegetarian food with me."
The barbecue tasted quite good, but the smell was particularly strong. As soon as the three of them entered the store, they felt that they were kidnapped by the smell of barbecue.
During the meal, Luo Rui was worried that he would be rude, so although his mind was in a mess, he was still busy flipping the roast for them.
Li Shuo took the shelf from him: "Okay, you can eat honestly, I'll bake it, I'm on a diet, I can't eat a few pieces."
"I'm not too hungry either." Luo Rui whispered.
"I'm still thinking about him." Li Shuo teased, "It's not enough to have two handsome guys to accompany you."
Luo Rui smiled: "No, I've been standing all day and I'm just a little tired."
"Don't do this kind of money-losing promotion in the future. If you really want to do it, ask Li Shuo or I to help you calculate the cost." Cheng Sheng sandwiched a piece of fresh beef tongue for him.
"Okay, thank you for today."
"You're welcome."
After dinner, Cheng Sheng took a taxi back, and Li Shuo sent Luo Rui home.
Luo Rui thought about what Qin Zijiao had said, and felt restless. He opened his mouth a few times and swallowed it back.
Li Shuo squinted at him: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
"It's a pity. I think you and Cheng Sheng should get along quite well, but he has been abroad all year round, otherwise he would have been introduced to you long ago."
Luo Rui laughed dryly: "Ah, he's not bad."
Li Shuo said with a smile: "If you don't mind, just contact him as a friend. Maybe he will go back to China because of you when he is impulsive."
Luo Rui subconsciously agreed, but he immediately came to his senses and said hastily: "Let's take it easy, I may not be very interested right now..."
"Well, I understand." Li Shuo stopped in front of a red light: "How about it, are you planning to visit his sister tonight? Then I'll take you there along the way."
Luo Rui was surprised and said, "Why do you..."
"Didn't you keep thinking about this all night?" Li Shuo looked at him with a smile: "Instead of sending you home and then running out, why don't I drop you off? Make a call and ask." Which hospital is it?"
Luo Rui lowered his head and whispered, "Brother Li, thank you, you are such a good person."
Li Shuo just smiled and said nothing.
Luo Rui took a deep breath, took out his cell phone, and called Yaoyao.
When Yaoyao received his call, her tone was pleasantly surprised, but she was cautious when she spoke, which made Luo Rui feel uncomfortable.
As expected, she is now in the hospital and is preparing for the operation. Her legs still have the hope of standing up again. This time, the medical team was invited from Japan. The whole family attaches great importance to this operation.
Luo Rui said that she would go to see her, and she was very excited.
Luo Rui hesitated: "Yaoyao, is your brother there?"
"Ah, him, do you... want to see him?"
"No, I don't want to." Luo Rui whispered: "It's too embarrassing. If he is here, I will go another day."
"He's not here, come on, I'll wait for you."
"okay."
Luo Rui told Li Shuo the address, and Li Shuo drove him to the hospital.
After bidding farewell to Li Shuo, Luo Rui bought some fruit in the shop at the door. In fact, what he should have brought was the dessert from his shop, but Qin Zijiao had already taken it away.
The inpatient department was very quiet at this time, Luo Rui walked to the door of Yaoyao's ward with some apprehension, and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." The girl's clear voice came from inside.
Luo Rui opened the door and went in. Besides Yaoyao, there was also a nanny in the single ward. The nanny saw him, nodded and went out.
"Boss Luo." Yaoyao opened her arms towards him.
Luo Rui walked over with a smile and hugged her.
"Boss Luo, I miss you so much." Yaoyao said sadly while holding his hand.
"I miss you very much too. I'm sorry. I came here directly after dinner. I didn't bring you anything to eat."
"It's okay, my brother has already brought dessert over in the afternoon."
Luo Rui was startled: "Oh, I know."
"Did you meet in the store?" Yaoyao asked carefully.
"Um."
"Actually, brother has always cared about you. Last time..."
"Let's not talk about him." Luo Rui interrupted her, and he forced a smile: "How is your leg? Is the operation complicated?"
Yaoyao nodded: "It's very complicated, and I don't quite understand it. The doctor said that the success rate is only 20%. This is the last operation. If it doesn't work, I won't be able to stand up again." Yaoyao said more and more lost.
Luo Rui touched her head: "Don't worry, it will definitely succeed. I always have a picture in my mind, which is the appearance of you walking towards me. I know I will definitely see it."
Yaoyao smiled: "Well! If only I could walk, then I can go to many places, and my brother doesn't have to feel guilty about me."
"yes… "
"Boss Luo, you smell so bad." Yaoyao chuckled.
"Haha, I ate barbecue just now."
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious. It's an authentic Korean barbecue. Will I take you there next time?"
"OK!"
"I have recently researched several new desserts, do you want to see the photos?"
"It's up to you to see."
The two of them chatted while looking at the photos, Yaoyao was drooling, and asked to taste it again and again, Luo Rui promised her to take her to eat after the operation.
Just as he was getting excited, the door of the ward was pushed open. Luo Rui thought it was the nanny who came back, but when he turned around, the person standing at the door turned out to be Qin Zijiao.
Luo Rui suddenly became nervous, his eyes stared straight.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"I'll bring you something." Qin Zijiao put the bag in his hand on the table, keeping his eyes on Luo Rui.
Luo Rui put away the phone in embarrassment: "Go to bed early, I'll be leaving first."
"Boss Luo..." Yaoyao felt a little bit reluctant.
"I'll see you another day."
"oh."
Qin Zijiao came over and wrinkled his nose: "Have you finished eating with them?"
Luo Rui's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to lift his head, but just nodded lightly.
He didn't understand why Qin Zijiao could still talk to him as if nothing had happened after what he had experienced. Maybe it was because he never paid attention to it, at least he couldn't do it. Suffocated.
"What to eat?"
"Roast...meat."
"Is it tasty."
Luo Rui's scalp was numb, Qin Zijiao asked why
"Are you enjoying your meal?" Qin Zijiao stared straight at him.
"I'm going back." Luo Rui buried her head and walked towards the door.
When he walked out of the ward door, Qin Zijiao followed, grabbed his arm, and dragged him to the corner of the corridor.
"What are you doing!" Luo Rui was startled, and just about to scream out, Qin Zijiao covered his mouth. Luo Rui looked at him in disbelief.
Qin Zijiao exuded low air pressure all over his body: "You just came to see my sister in a clothes that smelled like barbecue, aren't you afraid of bringing bacteria into the ward?"
Luo Rui's lips trembled: "Yaoyao is not a baby." He struggled a few times, but was blocked by Qin Zijiao in the corner: "What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Do you like the man he introduced to you? Are gays so restless?"
Luo Rui's eyes were red, and he looked at Qin Zijiao in disbelief: "You... why are you such a bastard, it's simply inexplicable!"
Qin Zijiao looked at Luo Rui's teary eyes, and felt an unspeakable longing in his body. It was an impulse that grew stronger the more he suppressed it. Every time he saw Luo Rui, he felt like A lion that is hitting an iron cage seems to be about to break out of the cage in the next second. He couldn't help but want to utter evil words: "I'm not wrong, Wen Xiaohui also wanted to introduce you to a boyfriend at that time, why are you so keen on this kind of thing, can't you live without a man? Even if it wasn't me, you and others..."
Luo Rui slapped Qin Zijiao with his hands.
The slap stunned both of them.
Luo Rui retracted his trembling hands, looked at Qin Zijiao sadly and disappointedly, resisted the throbbing pain in his heart, pushed Qin Zijiao away, and ran away quickly.
Qin Zijiao froze on the spot for a long time before kicking hard against the wall. He let out a low growl, his voice full of annoyance and unwillingness. His confused mind was filled with Luo Rui's questioning and angry eyes, and Luo Rui's slap in the face was more than a slap. Thinking of how disappointed Luo Rui would be with him at this time, he just felt chills all over.
how so? How did things become like this? He obviously doesn't like men. The relationship between him and Luo Rui should be closed. This is good for everyone. Why didn't things develop as he expected
"Brother, brother."
Suddenly, Qin Zijiao heard Yaoyao calling him, he shook his head, managed to wake up from the chilling coldness, wiped his face, and returned to the ward.
Yaoyao looked anxious, but she couldn't get out of bed, she saw Qin Zijiao and shouted: "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel?"
Qin Zijiao said in a deep voice, "It's nothing."
"Boss Luo forgot to take his bag." Yaoyao pointed to the chair.
Qin Zijiao's eyes lit up, fearing that someone would snatch it away, he quickly picked up Luo Rui's bag, turned around and left.
"Brother." Yaoyao shouted behind him: "I think you are going too far."
Qin Zijiao was stunned.
"You yourself are afraid to admit that you like him, don't use me as an excuse. I'm not happy at all if you do this..." Yaoyao bit her lips: "I will hate you."
Qin Zijiao grabbed the bag in his hand and chased him out without saying a word.
