The reunion was a crazy one, and Yi Jin and Shen Yang were forced to do all kinds of affectionate poses for everyone to take pictures. Class 9 and Class 10 were neighboring classes, and they had always had a good relationship. The boys always made appointments to play basketball with each other, and the girls also made appointments to go shopping together, share accessories and gossip. And now, the two classes, which were already close, have become even closer because of the relationship between Yi Jin and Shen Yang.
But these have nothing to do with Su Yan. He is like an outsider, out of tune with this lively atmosphere.
Xiaoya called him in an anxious tone, saying that Xiao Cuttlefish had a stomachache and was sent to the Children's Hospital.
Su Yan called Xia Linchen over, intending to explain to him that he was leaving first and then send a driver to take him and Cheng Kou back to Yuren Garden. Unexpectedly, Xia Linchen nodded, walked over to get his coat, and called Cheng Kou, preparing to leave early with him.
"No need to go through so much trouble." Xia Linchen winked mischievously, "I've been wanting to find an excuse to slip away early."
The students from both classes were a little surprised to see the three of them leaving together. This combination had a weird atmosphere. After Xia Linchen explained, they suddenly realized that the three of them had come together. For a moment, Cheng Kou received a look of inquiry. Of course, these people would not let them go so easily. Su Yan wanted to drive, so they fined Xia Linchen several glasses of wine before they allowed them to leave.
Du Lanshan didn't want to stay any longer, so she took Cheng Kou's hand and said with a smile, "I still have work to do at the station. Do you mind if I give you a ride, Su Yan?"
Su Yan nodded slightly, apologized to everyone, turned and walked down the stairs to get the car from the parking space.
On the way back, Xia Linchen was still sitting in the passenger seat. He smelled the alcohol on himself and rolled down the window, unable to bear it.
When passing by the provincial TV station, Su Yan stopped the car and let Du Lanshan out. The famous female anchor of the provincial TV station bent down at the car window to say goodbye to them, and repeatedly told Cheng Kou to remember to get together again someday.
Cheng Kou nodded, and Du Lanshan turned her gaze to Su Yan and said softly, "Su Yan, thank you for sending me back today. Can I treat you to dinner another day?"
She didn't know the inside story. Su Yan was in a hurry to return to the city because Little Moyu was sick. At this moment, Su Yan didn't want to be polite with her, so he refused coldly, "No, it's just a small favor. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first. Goodbye."
The car sped away, leaving Du Lanshan standing alone on the side of the road, looking thoughtfully in the direction they left.
Su Yan drove steadily and fast. He originally wanted to send Cheng Kou and Xia Linchen back to Yuren Garden, but Cheng Kou insisted on not letting him take a detour and planned to go to the hospital together to see Little Squid.
Su Yan couldn't persuade her, so he compromised and drove directly to the Children's Hospital. When they arrived at the parking lot, Xia Linchen said that he smelled too much of alcohol, so he didn't go in to poison the flowers of the motherland.
Cheng Kou and Su Yan left him waiting in the car and hurried into the emergency building. Soon they found Xiaoya, who was still receiving an IV drip. Her face had lost its former spirit and looked very pitiful.
Xiaoya said that Little Cuttlefish ate hot and cold food today, and then suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and had a low fever. Now he is feeling much better after receiving intravenous drip.
“Xiao Wu…” The little cuttlefish called him pitifully with a pale face.
Su Yan squatted beside the bed, reached out to feel his forehead temperature, breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was normal, and helped him tidy up his sweaty hair.
Cheng Kou stood by and watched them interact, her heart softened. When she was young, she had imagined such a scene, that someone as indifferent as Su Yan would be defeated by the father-son relationship and become as gentle as today.
"Su Moyu." Su Yan stood up, "Come and explain what happened today."
"Xiao Wu, please don't scold me, okay?" The little cuttlefish seemed to be in pain from the needle, and pouted its lips, begging him softly and cutely.
"And then you go back to your old ways after a few days?" Su Yan glanced at him. Cheng Kou saw a little smile in his eyes. His tone still didn't soften, but she thought, he must have softened his heart a long time ago.
He has always been like this.
"Xiao Wu—" the little cuttlefish said in a long, babyish voice, "Mom taught me to correct my mistakes as soon as I know them, and I won't fail to change after repeated teachings."
Su Yan laughed out loud, as if he couldn't resist the cuteness of this child, and his eyebrows curved. It was the first time that Cheng Kou saw him laugh so happily, and he was stunned for a moment.
Xiaoya had already left. Su Yan said to Cheng Kou, "Please look after him for a while. I'm going to go out and pay the bill."
"Hello, beautiful sister." After Su Yan left, the little cuttlefish turned into that little gentleman again, so cute that people wanted to hold him in their arms and rub him.
Cheng Kou saw that he was still in pain, so she helped him adjust the infusion speed. Song Qingwu was a nurse, and she was very skilled in the practice because she had learned from her parents.
"Hello, little cuttlefish, we meet again." Cheng Kou dragged a stool over and placed it beside the bed, then sat down to accompany him.
"Sister, thank you for the cookies last time." Little Squid smiled shyly, "Xiaowu asked me to thank you in person."
"Why is he called Xiaowu?" Cheng Kou asked curiously.
"Because uncle... Su Yan... is the fifth child in the family." The little squid stuck out his tongue and made a face.
Cheng Kou didn't listen carefully. She thought the way this father and son got along was very peculiar. Little Squid didn't call Su Yan dad, but could call him by his name.
"Where's your mother?" Cheng Kou despised himself for having to get information from a child.
"Mom is not at home." The little cuttlefish felt a little lost when talking about his mother.
Cheng Kou thought her mother must have separated from Su Yan. Was it because he liked men? Or was it for some other reason? She asked Xiao Moyu again, "What kind of person is your mother?"
The little cuttlefish thought for a moment and said seriously, "She is very, very beautiful. She is prettier than you, my sister. She is the most beautiful person in the world."
Cheng Kou looked at him quietly, as if she wanted to see his mother's appearance from his face. She pursed her lips, her eyes slightly wet, and at this moment, Su Yan came back. Cheng Kou quickly wiped her eyes and waited with him until the little squid finished the infusion. Su Yan took off his coat and wrapped him up. His arms were very strong, and he didn't seem to have any difficulty holding such a big child.
Cheng Kou was thinking about the little cuttlefish's mother in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so he put on his clothes and went to the balcony to get some fresh air.
"Cheng Kou." Someone called her name in a very soft voice, as if afraid to scare her.
Cheng Kou shook her head, throwing all these illusions out of her mind. She looked in his direction, knowing that he might not be able to see her, but she still smiled, "You can't sleep either?"
"Yeah, thinking about some things in the past." Su Yan saw her smile, and could also see her hair gently floating in the night breeze.
Is it because Xiao Moyu was sick today that he thought of his mother? Does he miss her because they were in love? What about Rong Yan, how did it start
Questions came one after another, and Cheng Kou was very troubled. The other person is not familiar with you, so why do you think so much
"Is the little cuttlefish feeling better?"
"Well, it's okay." Su Yan walked towards her and came to the handrail connecting the two houses.
They were very close, just a few steps away, and she could clearly see the smile on Su Yan's face. His voice was clear and his eyes were even brighter.
He said to her, "Cheng Kou, I actually always remember you."
After Su Yan finished speaking, he went back to sleep, and Cheng Kou naturally did not have the courage to delve into what he meant by that. She was like an ostrich, wanting to know about Su Yan's affairs, but not daring to know.
Cheng Kou didn't sleep well the night before, and was called back to the east by the Queen Mother. Song Qingwu cooked a few dishes she liked, and spent the whole meal asking her if she got along well with Xia Linchen. When she heard that Shen Yinran also lived in Xia Linchen's house, Song Qingwu was unhappy, and her face fell and she ignored Cheng Kou.
Cheng Kou was happy to be free, but soon she received a call from Du Lanshan, asking her out for coffee. Cheng Kou asked Lao Cheng to take the car keys. When she was alone, she could always think of Su Yan's words last night. She was in a trance all the way and hit another car when turning. The other car owner was kind enough to agree to pay compensation, but Cheng Kou didn't have that much cash. The other party was a little impatient, but still reasonable. Cheng Kou wondered whether to call Xia Linchen, who must be asleep, and ask him for help, or leave the scene alone and find a bank to withdraw money.
"Cheng Kou, what's wrong?" Su Yan happened to pass by, stopped the car, walked over and asked with concern.
The other car owner saw his car and what he was wearing, and wanted to save some time, so he said, "Is he your friend? Why don't you borrow it from him first? I'm in a hurry to pick up my kids."
Su Yan directly asked the other party how much money it was and opened his wallet to count it for her.
The other car owner left very satisfied. Cheng Kou was embarrassed and said, "Sorry for bothering you. I'll go to a bank to withdraw the money and pay you back."
Su Yan couldn't deny it, he first made a phone call, and soon someone came to take Cheng Kou's old car away for repair. Cheng Kou got into Su Yan's car, and he drove her to the bank.
It was a large joint-stock commercial bank, and there were many people queuing up. Su Yan seldom came to the bank, and he had not expected it, so he had to take out his mobile phone and dial a number in the phone book.
Hearing that Su Yan had arrived, Shen Lifeng came out to greet him. When he saw Cheng Kou, he smiled and said, "Fifth brother, what a rare guest."
Cheng Kou was busy dealing with the business order. He looked up and asked Su Yan, "Should I give you cash or transfer it to your account?"
"casual."
"By the way, Fifth Brother. Qin Shan just rejected your marriage proposal a few days ago, and now..." Shen Lifeng raised an eyebrow and looked at Cheng Kou, "You've found another one so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kou's fingers holding the pen trembled, and he made an extra stroke under his signature.
"Xiao Qi, shut up." Su Yan warned, glancing at his gloating face.
"Did I say anything?" Shen Lifeng shrugged innocently, "I didn't say anything, Fifth Brother."
Su Yan threatened coldly, "Xiao Qi, if you keep talking nonsense, I will call Shen Luo now and tell her that Grandpa has ordered her and Wan Wan to return to the old house to live for a month."
"Fifth brother..." Shen Lifeng's smug smile immediately fell, "Don't use my wife and children to threaten me every time I provoke you... You are too insidious."
"Same here." Su Yan finally smiled and patted him on the back. "Come to my house one day and keep little squid company."
Cheng Kou just filled out the form and handed it to Shen Lifeng. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is your brother married? Does he have a child?"
"Yeah." A gleam of light flashed across his eyes, "Early marriage and early childbearing."
Shen Lifeng is Su Yan's cousin. He is very tall and good-looking. Their family genes are really good. God is also very partial.
Cheng Kou took out the money and handed the envelope to Su Yan. The bank was near the place where she and Du Lanshan had agreed to go, so she decided to walk.
She and Su Yan parted at the door, one to the left and the other to the right.
