On the third day after Sui Yi left, the bag on Ning Lan's head had not disappeared.

When his mother-in-law lay down and had nothing to do, she rubbed his forehead with a boiled egg, and while rubbing it, she despised him, "such a big man doesn't know how to turn on the lights when he wakes up at night."

Ning Lan lied to her that she accidentally bumped into the toilet when she got up. Sui Yi left before dawn in the morning, and her mother-in-law didn't see it, otherwise she would have been nagging.

Sui Yi went to S City to shoot an advertisement and a magazine cover this time. Ning Lan does not use a smartphone and is almost isolated from the world. She should not have known about these things. "It's terrifying in autumn", "It's cold again today, fortunately I brought a coat", "The fried chicken downstairs in the hotel is not as good as yours" and so on.

Ning Lan was forced to know all of someone's movements. One day Sui Yi sent him a text message saying that he had a cold, and he replied directly: [Buy medicine and take it according to the instructions]

It's not easy to get a reply from Ning Lan, Sui Yi hurriedly said: [No, I'll be back tomorrow]

Can you get better if you come back with a cold

Only then did Ning Lan understand that he didn't want to get a solution by texting him, but just wanted to act coquettishly and deceive the reply.

Sui Yi got off the plane the next day and went straight to the hospital. There wasn't much of his own in the suitcase, all of which were gifts for Ning Lan and her mother-in-law.

I don't know where he heard about his mother-in-law's preferences, so he bought her a bright red woolen scarf. The texture is soft and bright, and the mother-in-law can't take her eyes away. There are also thermos cups, electronic blood pressure monitors, aromatherapy lamps, and even carry them. I brought back a health pillow, which is said to be good for the spine.

The mother-in-law liked it very much, and told Ning Lan to quickly light the aromatherapy lamp, change the pillow, and didn't shout about getting out of bed. It was very comfortable to lie down and watch TV.

Entering the family lounge, Sui Yi was prepared to be "repaid" by Ning Lan, and handed him an insulated ice pack: "Fried fried buns, bought on the way to the airport, didn't you say you want to eat them? You can eat it after reheating it in the microwave."

Ning Lan pondered for a while, and then remembered that Sui Yi texted him one night saying that he had eaten fried buns. He was idle in the car at that time, and casually replied "Is it delicious?" Sui Yi immediately asked him To eat or not. Before he could reply, he fell asleep leaning against the car window, and when he woke up at the station, he forgot about it.

Sui Yi really implements his "silence" as "acquiescence", he is strict and serious.

Fortunately, I just ordered something to eat, and it was not too burdensome, so Ning Lan accepted it, and put it on the table with the vegetable porridge when it was hot in the evening.

Sui Yi silently took the bowl and ran to the sofa to eat. Her mother-in-law wanted him to get away, but now she is in a hurry: "Come here, Xiao Sui, let's eat together."

Sui Yi shook his head: "I have a cold, and it will infect you."

No wonder she still wore a mask and was reluctant to take it off after she came back, Ning Lan thought.

In the evening, Sui Yi hugged the blanket and was about to go to the lounge chair for the night. Ning Lan called to him, "stay here."

Of course Sui Yi didn't want to leave, and reluctantly said, "In case it gets infected to you..."

"My mother-in-law and I both took the flu medicine and it's fine."

Sui Yi was persuaded, so he followed Ning Lan into the back room, and saw two capsules and a glass of water on the bedside, and his face immediately turned bad.

"Take the medicine, it will get better soon." Ning Lan said.

Sui Yi had the experience of being stuck in his throat by a tablet when he was a child, so he was very resistant to taking medicine. He turned around to get away, but Ning Lan stretched out his arm and stopped him at the door.

"Take the medicine." Ning Lan's expression was serious, but the second half of the sentence softened, "After eating, there is... there is a reward."

Sui Yi has strong self-control, but the temptation from Ning Lan, no matter how big or small, he can't resist.

While taking the medicine, he stared at Ning Lan's red lips and couldn't move his eyes away, thinking that he didn't resist when he kissed his forehead last time, will this time... Is it possible...

Swallowing the two capsules with difficulty, Ning Lan took out a white rabbit toffee from her pocket under Sui Yi's burning gaze: "Here, reward."

Sui Yi, who was "deceived", was not disheartened. Following Ning Lan's imitation, he got a few more toffee, and weighed it in his hand. He felt that the number was almost the same, so he placed a heart on the armrest of the sofa with candy. shape, and then take a photo and send it to Weibo.

He seldom goes online at ordinary times, and adopts a high-cold personality. Weibo is mostly published and managed by the company, so there is almost no selfie and daily life. As soon as the heart made of white rabbit toffee was sent out, the number of comments and retweets exceeded 10,000. At first, fans were excited to tell each other about "my idol will become a fan", but after thinking about it, the wind direction of the comment area changed. .

The reason is that the food blogger named "Can't Fried Chicken Wings" that Sui Yi is concerned about taught everyone in the Qixi special edition three days ago to melt a lot of toffee to make a super large toffee, which is the well-known brand white. Big rabbit.

The unreliable speculation that was suppressed due to the deletion of the gossip post has resurfaced. This time, it was even more outrageous. Someone with a heart intercepted the hand of the food blogger who was accidentally on camera while cooking, and compared it with the hand of former AOW member Ning Lan. Come to the conclusion that "it is clearly the same person".

Most of Sui Yi's fans expressed disbelief, saying that there are more than one billion people in our country, let alone hands that look alike, there are several faces that look similar.

Then, Sui Yi kissed the red beads hanging on his chest at the concert in June, and the photos taken by passers-by in Quanxi at that time were brought up again. Weifan said it was a coincidence, and Gaohua CP fans said that the captain paid attention to that food blogger because Xiaohua followed it first. It's been more than five years since Sui Yi debuted, and it is the first time that Weifan and Gaohua CP fans stand on the same front. Stop guessing, just shut up!

There was a lot of uproar on the Internet, but the two parties had no time to pay attention.

My mother-in-law underwent chemotherapy for the first time on Qixi Festival. Ning Lan accompanied him all the way, and Sui Yi went outside to buy two bunches of flowers. When her mother-in-law saw the flowers, she laughed and blamed him for wasting money, and then she started vomiting shortly after.

The two of them messed up. Ning Lan almost took out the flower and threw it away. Her mother-in-law raised her hand to stop it and said feebly, "It's not about the flower, just leave it alone. I see the flower / I'm in a good mood."

In the evening, Ning Lan was sitting on the sofa guarding her mother-in-law. Sui Yi accompanied him and took out the soft chocolate from her pocket before the clock struck twelve.

Ning Lan had been tense since the night before chemotherapy, and he relaxed a little after his mother-in-law had slept. At this moment, he was leaning on the sofa drowsy. Sui Yi hooked his shoulders and gave him a gentle hug, and he tilted his head. , leaning on Sui Yi's shoulder.

Sui Yi broke a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth. Ning Lan closed her eyes and swallowed it obediently, chewing while saying something.

Sui Yi leaned over and vaguely heard him muttering, "Well... so sweet."

By the second chemotherapy, my mother-in-law's reaction was not as strong as last time, but she was still dizzy and uncomfortable, and she couldn't eat a single bite at noon.

In the middle of the afternoon, Sui Yi found that her mother-in-law's face was wrong, and she had a fever after taking her temperature. She hurriedly went with the nurse to call the doctor. Ning Lan was anxiously guarding her mother-in-law, and when she heard movement at the door, she thought that Sui Yi had come back with the doctor, and turned her head to see that they were two middle-aged men.

The two looked like a couple. The man put down his things and took out his business card and handed it to Ning Lan: "You are the young man that Granny Zhang took in later."

Seemingly polite, but Ning Lan has been in the society for many years and has seen countless kinds of people, and at a glance, she can see the arrogance and contempt in their eyes.

After finally waiting for her mother-in-law to wake up, she opened her eyes and saw the two of them. Her first reaction was to pick up the cup by the bed and smash it: "What are you doing? Get out! Get out of here!"

Compared with the previous force that made Sui Yi "roll", this is the real move.

The mother-in-law was panting like a cow, and her chest heaved like a pulling bellows. Due to the excessive movement, the indwelling needle stuck on the back of the hand was brought out. Ning Lan hurriedly took a cotton swab and pressed her mother-in-law's bleeding hand.

Sui Yi couldn't help but ask the two people who made her mother-in-law angry. The middle-aged couple refused to leave outside the door and insisted on talking to her mother-in-law. Ning Lan asked Sui Yi to go in and take care of her mother-in-law, and he came to talk with them.

When she returned to the ward, her mother-in-law was already asleep. Ning Lan took the towel from Sui Yi's hand and gently wiped her thin hand.

The two retreated to the lounge before Ning Lan told Sui Yi what was going on.

"The man just now was an abandoned baby adopted by his mother-in-law when he was young. Not long after he was admitted to university, he recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, because his father made a fortune in middle age and had some money."

In just a few sentences, the origins of the two men were explained. Sui Yi frowned and asked, "Then why is he here now?"

Ning Lan was silent for a long time, then slowly opened her lips and said, "Mother-in-law's house in Quanxi, he said he has the first right of inheritance."
