Zhuang Yi glanced at the screen, stared at the windshield, and remained silent.
Xun Yuming's heart was beating wildly. Seeing that he was silent, he was not sure whether it was Ren Xueyuan who told Zhuang Yi about himself, or whether Zhuang Yi and Ren Xueyuan were conspiring together.
He can put it off, but he can't lie to Zhuang Yi. He just promised not long ago, "Who does he want you to take for a medical examination?"
He didn't dare to speak nonsense before he asked clearly.
Zhuang Yi didn't answer, and drove the car silently, thinking about how to explain to him. Discussing with Ren Xueyuan to take him to the medical examination was a matter of the night when the consultation room was on fire, but Zhuang Yi planned to hide Xun Yuming's knowledge and deceive him when the time came, but he didn't expect a piece of information to leak today.
Now that he has told Xun Yuming everything, he naturally cannot deny it, but in this way, it becomes that he deliberately concealed it, and finally he was exposed by himself.
Zhuang Yi didn't want to do this, he didn't want to expose Xun Yuming, but hoped that he would take the initiative to confess to himself and give him a chance to change, so he kept pretending not to know, and waited for Xun Yuming to figure it out and make a decision. There were too many things to do in the past two days, and they didn't care about other things for a while.
But at the moment, this inappropriate text message suddenly pushed the two of them into a corner. The truth was so close that it could be revealed at the first touch.
Xun Yuming was also worried, he hadn't had time to go for the physical examination, if he had the result at this moment, he would definitely tell Zhuang Yi, but now everything is speculation, it is an unknown number, in case Zhuang Yi doesn't know, he will be rash I'm sorry to say that, in the end, I found out that everything was an oolong like today's "marriage", how uncomfortable Zhuang Yi must have been.
The carriage was awkwardly quiet, the small world was filled with each other's thoughts, and the air was sticky and sticky.
Zhuang Yi stared at the winding road in front of him, his vision was gradually overwhelmed by the night, he swallowed his throat, and took the lead to break the silence: "I heard that Linhai Group has cooperated with several foreign medical institutions to set up a medical examination center. It specializes in providing high-end medical services. I want to take my family to see it, and you and grandpa will also be together.”
"Oh." Xun Yuming secretly raised his eyes and glanced at him, "When are you going? I just want to have a physical examination recently."
"If you're in a hurry, do it tomorrow." Zhuang Yi smiled at him, with some emotion obviously hidden in his eyes, "I'll go with you first."
Xun Yuming nodded, turned on his mobile phone, replied to Ren Xueyuan, and agreed to check it tomorrow. It will take about a day or two from the completion of the physical examination to the result. In these two days, he has to think carefully about how to make arrangements with Zhuang Yi, so that he will not be able to accept his real illness.
When they got home, Grandpa happened to be eating. Xun Yuming went in and took off his coat, and went to replace Xiao Yang: "I'll feed you. It's getting late, you should go home."
Xiao Yang handed him the bowl, and grandpa pointed to the two untouched dishes on the table: "Take it, don't waste it."
"Thank you, grandpa." Xiao Yang smiled, packed two dishes in a lunch box, and left after get off work.
Zhuang Yi has been busy for a long time today, and now he is sleepy and tired, so he went to the bedroom to rest first.
There were only two grandparents and grandchildren in the living room. Xun Yuming scooped up a spoonful of rotten ham and stewed elbows, and fed it to grandpa: "Isn't this dish from "Dream of Red Mansions", how come Aunt Feng can cook it too."
"It's all for the elderly. This dish...is rotten and easy to digest." Grandpa's teeth are still healthy, but his swallowing function has deteriorated, so he always chokes on food. When he is sick, he eats liquid food. Aunt Feng makes him some soft food . "You have something on your mind, did you quarrel?"
"No." Xun Yuming shook his head, almost forgetting how sensitive his grandfather is, and he couldn't hide the slightest emotion from his grandpa's eyes that have experienced many vicissitudes. "I went to Grandpa Zhuang Yi's house today, and he gave me a box , and gave a red envelope, telling us to get married early."
"That's fine." Grandpa patted his knee and sighed: "It's rare that his family likes... like you so much. You have to be nice to him. But, can you go through the formalities?"
Xun Yuming scooped up another spoonful of meatball soup for him, "Is it possible abroad? I don't know. In fact, the procedures are not important, the main thing is... I don't know what he means. Today when his grandfather talked about getting married, he didn't express his position, as if temporarily Haven't thought about it yet."
Grandpa paused when he heard the words, then raised his head and asked, "Is it Grandpa..."
"Grandpa!" Xun Yuming hurriedly interrupted him, "How could Zhuang Yi and I dislike you? You are not my drag."
"Then he...doesn't like to get married?" Grandpa is a doctoral student in the old days, and he is quite enlightened. He knows that many people don't like to get married and just want to fall in love for the rest of their lives. "Is that Zhuang Yi?"
"I don't know." Xun Yuming was not sure either, they had never discussed this issue.
He put the last spoonful of soft rice with small meatballs, fed it into Grandpa's mouth, packed up his things, and pushed Grandpa into the house to rest. Grandpa was afraid of overeating, so he didn't sleep after eating, so he went to the desk to sort out the materials for the book for a while.
Xun Yuming made him a cup of hawthorn and chrysanthemum tea, put it on the table, and Grandpa said: "Mingming, Grandpa has something... to ask you."
"Tell me." Xun Yuming blew on the tea, lying beside him and looking at him.
Grandpa grabbed his hand and seemed extremely hesitant: "If you get married, tell your parents, okay?"
"Why?" The smile on Xun Yuming's lips faded away, he pulled his hands away calmly, sat up straight, and straightened his face, "Grandpa, are you sleepy? I'll make the bed for you."
He got up to leave, but was grabbed by the hem of his clothes by his grandfather: "You and Zhuang Yi, confess...have you?"
"There is nothing to confess. I didn't do anything wrong." What was wrong was his pair of irresponsible parents, Xun Yuming didn't think they were still alive at all.
Grandpa shook his head and said, "But if you get married and you don't have parents at home, Xiao Zhuang...what do your family think? Won't they ask?"
"It's enough for me to have a grandfather." Xun Yuming stood stubbornly on the spot, sternly refusing to turn back, "If he dislikes me for not having parents, then he shouldn't marry me."
"What are you talking about?" Grandpa slapped his ass, "Don't be so... self-willed, it hurts people's hearts. I told you to inform...them, but I didn't ask you...to reconcile with them, why are you so anxious?"
Xun Yuming refused to let go, bit his lip and muttered: "Who can find them."
There has been almost no contact for more than 20 years. Even if he wants to notify, he doesn't know where to find someone. What's more, he doesn't want to associate with them at all. He has grandpa and Zhuang Yi, and now he has many friends. I don't know how happy he is. There are no shortage of two people who don't love him.
"Go." Grandpa waved his hand, signaling him to go out.
Xun Yuming knew that Grandpa was upset, but he refused to compromise, pulled the quilt back for him, turned off the overhead light, and walked out.
When he returned to the bedroom, Zhuang Yi was asleep on the bed. Afraid of waking him up, Xun Yuming closed the door lightly, and as soon as he took a step, Zhuang Yi suddenly asked, "What are you doing so you won't come up for a long time?"
"It's nothing." Xun Yuming hurriedly hid in the cloakroom, rubbed his eyes, took out a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.
Zhuang Yi turned on the headlights, and as soon as he came out, the expression on his face couldn't be hidden, the ruddy eye circles were clearly visible, and it was clear that something was wrong, "What's wrong? Grandpa scolded you?"
"No." Xun Yuming took off his clothes and threw them into the laundry basket.
Zhuang Yi stepped out of the bed in two steps, walked up to him, and brushed his straight shoulders, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's really nothing, it's just that grandpa told me to go find my parents." Xun Yuming twitched the corners of his lips, with a forced smile, "I don't want to look for him, he's angry."
"How do you talk about this?" Zhuang Yi hugged him, rubbing his big hands back and forth on his not-so-broad back, "Maybe grandpa has his own ideas, but if you don't want to, don't force yourself."
In fact, he also hopes that Xun Yuming can meet his parents. This matter is like a scale in his heart, and he gets angry when he touches it, which means that he can't let it go, otherwise he doesn't care at all. If he never forgives, he will not hurt others, but himself.
But it's not the time yet, Zhuang Yi doesn't want to force him.
"I can't find them either." Xun Yuming's shoulders and arms were joined by two muscles with sharp edges and corners, showing his tough lines but not losing the beauty of thinness. He broke away from Zhuang Yi's arms and sat by the sink, looking very handsome face to face.
"I have never met my dad. My mom only met me when I was in high school and gave me a card. They are strangers to me. The world is so big, where can I find it?"
Zhuang Yi was so fascinated by him that he couldn't take his eyes off, his eyes wandered back and forth from top to bottom, "It's not difficult, I can help you if you want."
"I don't want to." Xun Yuming jumped off the ground and pushed him out, "Take a shower, let's talk."
"Don't, I'll be with you." Zhuang Yi refused to leave, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him into the shower room. As soon as the shower was turned on, water poured down from the sky, and Xun Yuming covered his eyes like a drowned chicken and shouted, "I can't control my emotions anymore!"
"Then don't control it." Zhuang Yi hugged him tightly, lowered his head and blocked his faltering lips. "The louder you are, the more I like it."
Early the next morning, Xun Yuming got dressed, without eating or drinking water, and went to the physical examination center of Linhai Group together with Zhuang Yi.
Although he is nominally a visiting professor of the R&D team of Linhai Pharmaceuticals, he has never done any practical work. He only occasionally answers emails to their researchers to answer some questions they encounter, and he hardly ever goes to the office.
The physical examination center is in the east of the city, not far from Zhuang Yi's parents' home. The surrounding environment is very good, facing the sea and backed by mountains, it seems to be in line with their "high-end" route. Zhuang Yi parked the car in the yard full of privet leaves, took Xun Yuming's hand, and walked into the lobby on the first floor behind the glass door.
Ren Xueyuan took time out of his busy schedule to wait for them. As soon as they met, they saw their interlocking hands, "Hey, the ring is gone? Why, the relationship broke down?"
When Xun Yuming first met him in the bar, in order to reject him, he put the plain ring bought by Zhuang Yi on his ring finger. Later Ren Xueyuan had a lot of contact with him and found out that he didn't wear a ring before, so saying that now is just an air of grandeur.
Sure enough, Zhuang Yi's face darkened immediately, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of irritability. He fought back with a fake smile: "Uncle Ren, please find time to come over when you are so busy. Didn't you hear that you are going to expand your business abroad? Why, Xiao Yu And returned?"
"We'll be back soon after the cooperation was negotiated in advance." Ren Xueyuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and sparks flew in his eyes.
Zhuang Yi nodded, suddenly realized: "That's it, then congratulations. If you are frustrated in love, you will naturally be proud of your career."
"..."
Xun Yuming was caught in the middle so embarrassed, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Well... let's go to the physical examination quickly, I'm hungry, and I'm still empty."
"Come with me." Ren Xueyuan smiled, waved his right hand, and guided them through the corridor to the physical examination area at the back.
Zhuang Yi followed him not too far away, holding Xun Yuming's hand more and more vigorously, listening carefully, he seemed to be able to hear the joints "cracking". Xun Yuming didn't dare to cry out the pain, so he pulled his hands sullenly.
The more he smoked, the more unhappy Zhuang Yi became. He lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "One to zero is obvious, don't move around."
"Then grab me lightly." Xun Yuming glared at him, "My hands are worth tens of millions."
"It's not that I can't afford it!" Zhuang Yi said angrily.
The three of them came to the back building, where a guide in nurse uniform was already waiting there. She nodded to Ren Xueyuan, and led them into a room, "Let's draw blood first, and you can eat after the test."
Xun Yuming took off his coat and handed it to Zhuang Yi, rolled up the sleeves of the sweater, revealing a tight forearm. Nurses in purple sterilized him, strapped him on, and drew a tube of blood.
Ren Xueyuan immediately handed over a wooden tray, which contained a tuna fish sandwich and a large glass of strawberry milkshake, "Here, let's have some food."
Xun Yuming has a heavy workload every day and has to get up early, so replenishing energy is very important. He was used to eating breakfast, so he skipped a meal suddenly, he was so hungry that his heart was on his back, he wanted to eat but was afraid that Zhuang Yi would be unhappy, so he looked at him straight away.
Even though Zhuang Yi was unhappy, he couldn't bear his hunger, so he opened the wrapping paper and handed it to him: "Eat quickly."
"Thank you." Xun Yuming smiled at Ren Xueyuan, took a bite of the sandwich, and then walked to the EKG room.
Zhuang Yi was at the end, holding his clothes and gritted his teeth, muttering: "One to one!"
Xun Yuming walked into the room, took a sip of the sweet and sour strawberry milkshake, handed it to Zhuang Yi the cup, and lay down on the hospital bed. He specially wore a sweater with a few metal buttons on the neckline today, so he didn't need to take off his clothes for the test.
Zhuang Yi and Ren Xueyuan stood aside, the little nurse came over to put a suction cup on him, and opened his neckline, there were some red marks on his snow-white chest, and he blushed immediately.
Seeing her hesitate, Xun Yuming bent his neck to have a look, covered his collar and coughed: "You two go out, please protect my privacy."
Ren Xueyuan didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and walked out calmly.
"Two to one." Zhuang Yi winked at him, and exited the EKG room with a happy face.
He walked to the window, took a sip of Xun Yuming's leftover strawberry milkshake, and it tasted really good, "Uncle Ren is very good at pleasing children, the strawberry milkshake is really good."
"I'm overwhelmed." Ren Xueyuan smiled, no emotion could be seen in his eyes, "It's not as good as you know how to grow."
