Chapter 189: [Extra] Peanut smoothie

Views:

A few years ago, Mi Ze Hai was involved in a traffic accident that was not too serious. His car was scratched and he suffered some minor injuries and was admitted to the hospital.

It wasn't that serious, just a small steel plate was needed to stabilize the joints. But because it was the foot that was injured, many things were inconvenient, not to mention walking. It was not easy to turn over in bed after the operation. He was trapped in the hospital for ten days for such a small operation, and he was a little irritable. Cheng Qing didn't care about him so much. While he couldn't leave the hospital, he took him to do a few more tests and let him adjust his body.

When Mi Yang got the news, Mi Zehai had already finished the operation. Cheng Qing said on the phone calmly: "It's nothing, just a bump. Your father was driving and didn't pay attention to the car behind him on the sidewalk. The person behind overtook from the inside, which was not polite. Anyway, he got hit. I'm embarrassed to talk about the injury he suffered. It's just a toe injury. You don't have to come back to see him. He will be discharged after a few days of rest. He has urged the doctor several times."

Mi Yang said: "No, I'd better go back. You can't take care of it alone."

Mi Zehai is a big man of 1.8 meters. Cheng Qing and Mi Xue can't move them at home. Mi Yang hung up the phone in a hurry to book tickets. Within a minute, Cheng Qing called again and said with a smile: "You kid, why are you as impatient as Luochuan now? It's okay, there are people taking care of us at home!"

Mi Yang: "It's not possible for you and Xiaoxue to take turns to take care of her. It's too tiring."

Cheng Qing said: "Your cousin and his friends are here."

Mi Yang's hand that was booking the ticket froze for a moment, "Cousin?"

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Yes, they are from your father's hometown. There are three guys here at once. I opened a single room for your father. There are two empty beds over there, and there is a small sofa outside. They sleep over there and keep him company. Now I am responsible for delivering some meals every day. It's not tiring at all."

Mi Yang thought for a while before he remembered that his father was adopted by his grandfather Mi Hong. According to the blood relationship, there is another hometown, but his father didn't have much contact with that place, just some correspondence. After getting his salary, he supported the relatives in that hometown for a period of time. Sometimes during the New Year and other festivals, he would receive some New Year's specialties, which were specially sent by people there.

The things are not expensive, but they are a token of my thought.

Yonezawa Hai has been in close contact with that place. If he hadn't been injured in the car accident, people from his hometown probably wouldn't have made the trip in person. In fact, this was the first time he met his nephews.

Mi Yang remembered his cousin from his hometown. In his previous life, Mi Zehai also had a minor accident and injured his foot more seriously than now. He had just started working and was very busy at work, so his cousin from his hometown came to help him silently for more than a month. He didn't want anything and did things honestly. The doctor said that the patient's feet should not be allowed to touch the ground as much as possible, so the cousin always carried Mi Zehai, his uncle. At that time, the old house where Mi Yang lived didn't have an elevator, so he carried him to the fifth floor. When he went for a follow-up visit, he carried him all the way without complaining.

Later, after Mi Zehai was discharged from the hospital, he came to their house for a meal, asked for two family photos of Mi Zehai's family, and left. Cheng Qing refused to accept any gifts, saying that it was enough for him to take the photos back to show his grandparents.

Yonezawa Hai's biological parents have always abided by the agreement. Since they sent the child away, they did not contact him much no matter how much they missed him. Especially in the past few years, when the family had a hard time, they felt a bit guilty. Now that they can help, they are slightly relieved. They are honest people, and their biggest wish is just to ask for two photos.

Mi Yang remembered those cousins and felt relieved, but he still planned to go back and visit them.

When Bai Luochuan came back in the evening and heard about this, he naturally wanted to go back with him. The two of them rushed all the way back to Shanghai and went to the hospital ward, where they met Mi Yang's cousins.

There was a man in the room making the bed. He was a little reserved when he saw Mi Yang. "I'm going outside for a walk. It's warm today."

Mi Yang smiled and said, "The weather is nice, cousin, right? I'll stay and help you clean up, and thank you for your help these days."

The eldest cousin was the one who spent the most time taking care of Mi Zehai. Mi Yang looked at him kindly. After getting to know Mi Yang, he also felt that this cousin he had never met before spoke and acted like a spring breeze. He slowly relaxed and a smile appeared on his face, but he was still a little nervous when facing Bai Luochuan.

Bai Luochuan looked at him and thought that this man didn't look much like Mi Yang. Mi Yang's features were more like his mother's and he was more handsome.

The eldest cousin was a simple-minded man, and Bai Luochuan told him everything after he asked him a few questions.

"There are three of us here. Originally, my family planned to let me stay by his bedside, as it would be inconvenient for Auntie Xiaoxue to take care of him. But my second brother and his family happened to be at school, so Grandpa told us to come here early for a while to take care of Uncle together."

"Yes, my second brother is still studying, as a graduate student. My youngest brother studies mathematics, and my second brother studies fine arts."

"It's also thanks to my uncle who paid for my second brother's tuition a few years ago. He originally didn't plan to study, but now his teachers have agreed. Now my second brother earns his own tuition."

When talking about his own affairs, he only said a few words, but when praising his younger brothers and expressing his gratitude to Mi Zehai, the eldest cousin was sincere and said a lot to Mi Yang and the others.

After chatting for a while, Mi Xue also came. She is already in high school this year and is a grown-up girl. This time she came to deliver meals to them on behalf of Cheng Qing. Mi Zehai's hospital meals were kept separate - not because they were delicious, but because they were worse than those of others, because the doctor said that his blood lipids and blood sugar were a little high. Cheng Qing and her daughter kept a close eye on the menu, and tried to add more coarse grains every day.

Mi Xue was very happy to see her brother, so she jumped over and hugged Mi Yang's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Brother, you're back!"

Mi Yang touched her head and said with a smile: "Well, come back and stay for a few days."

The little girl was very happy. Mi Yang nodded her head and pointed to the side and said, "Xiaoxue, call someone."

Michelle stuck out her tongue and then called out, "Hello, Brother Bai."

Bai Luochuan nodded slightly. His attitude towards her had not changed much since childhood, or rather, he was not very enthusiastic towards anyone except Mi Yang. This was still good towards Mi Xue, at least there was a response.

After Mi Zehai came back from taking a walk in a wheelchair, he saw a lot of people in his small ward. He chatted with Mi Yang and the others for a while, then waved his hand and asked them to leave first. "No need to stay any longer. There are so many people here. Now your eldest cousin is sleeping on the sofa. There's really no room for more!"

Bai Luochuan laughed, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back first and come back to see you tomorrow."

Yonezawa said, "You don't have to come tomorrow. You're busy. You still have to keep an eye on the project that Mr. Luo mentioned a while ago. You're back just in time, so you should go to the company and take a look."

When these two workaholics get together, they can't stop talking about the company. The cousins don't mean to disturb them. They each do their own job, some washing fruits, some putting away wheelchairs, and they do things in an orderly manner.

Mi Yang stood aside and watched. There was indeed no need for him to stay and take care of things here. His eyes fell on his father's injured foot, which did not look serious.

Mi Xue poked her brother's arm, and Mi Yang looked down at her, "What's wrong?"

Michelle asked him quietly, "Brother, are you going to live at home this time?"

Mi Yang smiled and said nothing.

The little girl understood and pouted, "Going to his house again."

Mi Yang hummed, and added: "But I have to stay in Shanghai for a few more days. Didn't a branch of 'Yisantang' just open here? I'll stay for a few days. When you are free, you can come to me and take you to a big meal, okay?"

Mi Xue was very easy to coax. When she heard that she could still go find her brother, she immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go find you tomorrow! We agreed that you would take me out for a big meal. Brother, I want to eat..." The little girl named a bunch of dishes and described them to Mi Yang, "There are so many restaurants over there, and they are all delicious!"

Yonezawa coughed and asked, "Xiaoxue, you have so many things you want to eat, why don't you think about your daddy?"

The Mi Yang brother and sister looked up and saw that Mi Zehai opposite them had already opened his lunch box. The loving lunch inside was so touching that it made them cry. There was a portion of stir-fried vegetables, a portion of steamed corn and sweet potato, and some egg fried rice. There was no ham but a lot of broccoli. It was so green that it made people reluctant to put down their chopsticks.

Michelle made a face and laughed first: "There is another layer underneath, Dad, look."

When Yonezawa Hai opened it, tears were about to fall.

The last layer was a box of yogurt. You could tell at a glance that it was Michelle secretly giving it to her father as a gift. She probably felt a little distressed.

There is someone to take care of Mi Zehai here, so Bai Luochuan said, "Then I will go back with Xiaoguai first."

Mi Zehai nodded, and then reminded Mi Yang: "Don't take your sister to eat spicy food. She just had a sore throat two days ago and had a little cough before."

Mi Yang agreed.

Mi Xue felt that her father had betrayed her, so she followed her brother with a pout. She usually got along very well with her father, but after her brother came, the little girl's first choice was definitely her brother Mi Yang.

As Yonezawa Hai drank the yogurt, his heart felt as sour as a lemon.

My eldest cousin scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Uncle, who was that person calling 'Xiaoguai'?"

Yonezawa Kai said: "He, he called Yangyang!"

The eldest cousin said blankly: "Ah, I thought calling Xiaoxue sounded more friendly."

Mi Zehai shook his head and smiled, not realizing what was wrong. Xiaoguai was just a name, and it didn't have any other meaning. His mother-in-law, Old Lady Cheng, had been calling him that for more than 20 years, and she had called him sweetheart and other names many times, so he was used to it. Besides, Bai Luochuan and Luo Jiangjing had also been calling him that for so many years, but he had no reaction at all.

Aren't their two families very close now

After Mi Yang and Bai Luochuan left the hospital, they first went to Cheng Qing's pharmacy to drop off their sister Mi Xue, and then stayed to chat with Cheng Qing for a while.

Cheng Qing hadn't seen him for a while, and was very happy to see them both. "You came just in time, Yangyang, don't leave yet, help me clean up the warehouse. The person we hired before had some business, and hasn't been here for three or four days. Xiaoxue and I can't move those boxes, and they've been lying there taking up space!"

Mi Yang naturally agreed, and Bai Luochuan also took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and helped with the work.

The two of them were very strong, especially Bai Luochuan. It took two people to move the box, but Bai Luochuan could move it easily by himself. He asked calmly, "Where should we put it? Here?"

Mi Yang instructed him to put it away, and felt a little jealous when he saw his good body from years of fitness.

He has been working out with Master Bai. Once before, he went to the gym just to run, but Bai Luochuan refused to let him go. He then built a fitness room at home and took him to exercise. The reason he gave was very righteous, saying that the coach had bad intentions and looked at him in a lewd way.

But Master Bai, who personally takes him to exercise, is not serious at all. It's okay for him to exercise alone at home, but if the two of them exercise together, it will probably become another "sport".

Mi Yang was thinking when he suddenly heard Bai Luochuan calling him. He subconsciously raised his head and almost kissed the other person.

Bai Luochuan stood in front of him and laughed, leaning very close to him: "Miss me so much?"

Mi Yang tilted his head and tried to hide, but the other person was too familiar with him. He came closer, adjusted the angle slightly, and then kissed him firmly. Their lips pressed together and rubbed against each other. The tip of his tongue opened a little gap and slipped in. They kept lingering, and the air seemed to be hot with a sweet scent.

Mi Yang was pushed against the wall of the warehouse. His waist was touched by his fingers. He trembled and whispered, "Don't, Xiaoxue will come soon..."

Bai Luochuan hummed.

Mi Yang wanted to pull his hand out, but Bai Luochuan's arm was as hard as iron, and he didn't budge at all. While kissing him, he kicked two boxes stacked at the door and said vaguely, "That's enough, she can't come in."

Mi Yang: “…”

You are deceiving yourself, okay

Mi Yang: "You used to..."

Bai Luochuan kissed him again, "What happened before?"

Mi Yang narrowed his eyes, took a breath and said: "You used to know to close the door and lock it."

Bai Luochuan smiled and said, "Well, even if I put two boxes in now, your sister can't get in."

Mi Yang hesitated and said, "We can only kiss for a while, we have to go out."

Bai Luochuan snorted: "No, I want to touch it again."

Mi Yang: “…”

He is the eldest master and the most powerful, Mi Yang is too lazy to resist, if he delays, he will be the one who suffers later, Bai Luochuan is very thick-skinned now, and thinks that the word "marriage" can stand in front of him and solve all problems, he might as well hurry up and cooperate so that he can continue to work quickly.

The two of them hid in the warehouse and kissed for a while, and then Michelle came looking for them.

Bai Luochuan bit Mi Yang's ear without letting go of him: "How come your sister is like she has installed a radar and can find you within fifty meters of her?"

Mi Yang's body trembled, his hands rested on his shoulders, he bit his lip and said nothing.

Bai Luochuan was still teasing him in his ear, moving his hands gently, and deliberately leaning close to him to ask: "Do you want me to help block your mouth?"

Mi Yang turned his head.

Bai Luochuan laughed muffledly, but still kissed her hard, increasing the strength in his hands.

Michelle called him for a while, but when no one responded, she left.

After a while, when Mi Yang and his team had finished their work, both personal and official, and had packed up, Mi Xue came up to them and said, "Brother, where did you go just now? I couldn't find you."

Mi Yang said vaguely: "I went to the attic and took two cartons to put things in. What's wrong?"

Michelle took it seriously, "No wonder you couldn't hear me knocking on the door. It's nothing. I just went to buy some peanut shaved ice. It's a little melted now, but it's still delicious. Come and try it, brother!"

The little girl brought a cup of smoothie over. When she got closer, she felt a little guilty. She forgot about Brother Bai again and only remembered her own brother. "Well, I just bought one cup."

Bai Luochuan was in a good mood and said, "It's okay, your brother and I will just eat one."

Then, as a matter of course, he sat there waiting for Mi Yang to feed him.

Michelle felt a little relieved when she saw her brother feeding the man two mouthfuls and then ignoring him. He only fed him two mouthfuls! It was much better than before. Her brother ate all the remaining shaved ice by himself. He was so happy!

Mi Yang knew that Bai Luochuan was picky about food. Although he liked sweet food, he didn't like peanut smoothies. He only fed him two bites and ate the rest. Bai Luochuan had "eaten" in the warehouse just now and was satisfied. He didn't care about these little things at all. He was still mumbling some interesting things to Mi Yang. He even laughed while talking and looked happy.

Master Bai was in a good mood, and he was polite to Michelle. He promised to take her to a big meal tomorrow when she came over: "Okay, come over tomorrow, your brother and I will take you to dinner. Just tell me what you want to eat."

Michelle's eyes sparkled as she said, "Really? Brother Bai, I want to eat the hot and sour noodles that are ranked number one in the food index over there!"

Bai Luochuan: "...Ah?"

Michelle: "Hot and sour noodles, and there's a Roujiamo shop that I heard is pretty good too. Oh, and there's pickled mustard greens cakes. I want to try the chicken pot too. Can I get an extra serving of potatoes?"

Bai Luochuan: “…”

Bai Luochuan: "No, have you ever eaten anything good?"

Michelle angrily said, "You've never eaten good food. These are so delicious!"

Mi Yang, who was listening to this, almost choked with laughter. Listening to their conversation, he felt that it was right. It was like going back to the past, nothing had changed at all.

He remembered that when Michelle was born, he and Bai Luochuan were already eight years old. He was very much looking forward to having this little sister, but Bai Luochuan had a sour face and didn't like her at all.

After observing for a while, Master Xiaobai found that Mi Yang was more popular in the Mi family, and his mood eased a little.

Mi Yang has matured and no longer cares about these things. Sometimes, he finds it quite interesting to see his parents working so clumsily but hard.

Bai Luochuan still felt that Mi Xue was vying for his affection, and he was somewhat hostile to this little girl. It was Mi Yang who was responsible for enlightening him, holding his little hand and comforting him: "They are also first-time parents, and they have no experience."

Master Xiaobai said with a sour face: "Then do you have any experience as a child?"

Mi Yang thought, he really has a little bit of that.

But Bai Luochuan was just a child at that time after all. After Mi Yang counseled him for a while, he didn't hate Mi Xue so much anymore.

But sometimes Master Xiaobai would look at Mi Yang through the window to see if he was being bullied at home.

Many years later, when the little girl grew up and Mi Yang took her to school, Young Master Bai would still habitually sit in the car and look at them through the window for a while, as if to confirm again that he was the most important.

Mi Yang ate the last bite of peanut shaved ice, the cool sweetness in his mouth melting on the tip of his tongue. He put the cup down, stood up and stood between Bai Luochuan and Mi Xue as he had done countless times before, and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Xiaoxue, let's go first. When mom comes back, please tell her for me."

Michelle looked at him eagerly and asked, "Brother, are you still going to Brother Bai's house?"

Mi Yang bent down and rubbed her head, then smiled and said, "Yes."

Michelle hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "How long will it take?"

Mi Yang thought for a moment and tapped her nose gently: "It will take a long time."

He and Bai Luochuan will be together for a very, very long time.
