Ye Cheng was holding a melon seed plate for his aunt, looking him stiffly from top to bottom.
Everyone looked at the door, obviously not realizing who it was.
However, the embarrassment of all the staff only lasted for two seconds, and then it turned into the embarrassment of Lu Xiao alone.
Although my aunt is old, she is still very enthusiastic.
Standing up on tiptoe, he greeted: "Is Cheng Cheng's friend here? Oh, he's still a handsome guy."
"You are so handsome, come in quickly, what are you doing standing at the door."
Lu Xiao was intimidated by the little old lady in this room. He didn't hesitate to walk in until Ye Cheng put down the melon seed plate and waved to him.
It was only when the door of the ward was pushed open that everyone saw that there were several people behind him.
Those flower shop employees came in one after another and filled the table with all kinds of bouquets. Lu Xiao was still carrying a few bags in his hand.
The old ladies looked at each other in surprise and joy.
Ye Cheng was very puzzled, and asked him what he was doing with his eyes.
Lu Xiao avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience.
Ye Qiaoqiao sat on the bed with her knees hugged without saying a word, watching him vigilantly.
Everyone chattered and said,
"Wow, Cheng Cheng, your friend is too kind to buy us so many flowers."
"Don't tell me, when I get older, I still like flowers."
"This kid is really on the right track!"
Lu Xiao opened her mouth, a little confused.
In this room, apart from a group of strange old ladies, there is only a little girl who looks so earthy and not easy to mess with.
Besides... what about his rival in love?
"His name is Lu Xiao, and he's my classmate." Ye Cheng cleared her throat and said, "These are relatives and friends from my grandma's house."
Lu Xiao took off her sunglasses, bowed and said, "Grandma... hello."
"Hello, how old are you?"
"This kid is really tall. He must be around 1.8 meters. Who is taller, you or Cheng Cheng?"
"You two stand up and compare, let grandma take a look."
They were chattering, but Lu Xiao couldn't hear or understand, and looked at Ye Cheng with a confused face.
Gao Qiulan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't scare him. Xiao Lu, you are too polite, what are you doing with so many things?"
Lu Xiao thought to herself, I don't know what I'm here for.
He said with a dry smile, "It's just a little care, as long as the grandmas like it."
His eyes turned to the girl on the bed.
Ye Cheng saw it and said, "Ye Qiaoqiao, call someone."
Ye Qiaoqiao looked up at Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao also looked at her.
The two stared at each other with "I don't really want to talk to strangers" written on their faces.
Ye Cheng introduced him: "This is my sister."
The word "sister" made Ye Qiaoqiao look a little better.
She reluctantly shouted: "Hello, brother."
Lu Xiao frowned, and gradually realized: "This is the little girl you bought flowers for her? Is it your sister?"
"Is there any problem?" Ye Cheng raised his eyebrows.
Ye Qiaoqiao also raised her chin, imitating the example: "Is there any problem?"
Lu Xiao: "..."
"You two don't bully him," Gao Qiulan walked over, pulled Lu Xiao to sit down on the sofa, and showed the little sisters a close-up look.
"Look, this kid looks no worse than my little orange." She said proudly.
With an awkward expression, Lu Xiao sat among them with a polite smile.
Ye Cheng peeled an orange, and Ye Qiaoqiao was half alone, leaning against the hospital bed and watching them eat.
At noon, everyone discussed going to a restaurant for dinner.
Lu Xiao really didn't want to listen to the old ladies' nagging, so she found an excuse and said, "I'll stay and take care of my sister, as long as you bring me a stutter."
"Then how can it work? You came here to see Qiaoqiao, of course you have to go together." Gao Qiulan held him back and said.
Lu Xiao waved her hands again and again: "I... I ate too much breakfast. I really can't eat the breakfast after ten o'clock. Thank you grandma for your kindness, you just go."
Seeing that he was facing an enemy, Ye Cheng helped him out and said, "Let's go, grandma, I will pack it for him."
After some pushing and pulling, a scene that can only be seen during the Chinese New Year was staged in the ward.
Finally, all the old ladies in the house were sent out.
The room fell silent, only two people, one big and one small, were left.
As soon as Ye Cheng left, Lu Xiao's expression changed.
He looked at Ye Qiaoqiao and asked, "Are you Ye Cheng's younger sister? Why haven't I heard him mention it before?"
The man had a questioning tone, and Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes made Ye Qiaoqiao feel like he was pulling.
But she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and said mockingly: "Maybe you and brother are not familiar enough, brother Sheng'an already knows me, and he often buys me toys."
Anyone with the surname Ye can accurately grasp Lu Xiao's weakness.
Ye Qiaoqiao's inadvertent words nearly made him furious.
"You know Huang Sheng'an?" His face suddenly pulled down.
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Of course I do. Brother Sheng'an is my brother's best friend."
Originally, Lu Xiao didn't think Huang Sheng'an was a threat, because he didn't come to the 13th High School often, and he didn't feel any sense of presence every now and then.
But after what she said, he suddenly felt that the relationship between Ye Cheng and Huang Sheng'an might be better than he imagined.
After all, Huang Shengan is one of the "three people who can tolerate Ye Cheng".
Lu Xiao began to feel a little headache.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at the way his brows were tightly furrowed, and felt that this man seemed quite handsome.
Although she was dressed pretentiously and had a bad boyish look, her face was really speechless.
On the surface, she disliked Lu Xiao very much, but in fact she was a face control in her heart.
The little girl always has endless curiosity about handsome guys, especially this handsome guy is also her brother's friend.
"Are you getting good grades?" She asked curiously, "My brother's friends seem to have good grades."
Miss Ye still didn't know which pot she would not open and which pot to lift, so she stared at him with the intention of understanding.
Lu Xiao said blankly, "It's pretty bad."
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes widened, she pointed at him and said, "You, how can you swear."
"Oh, the worst batch." Lu Xiao said indifferently.
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't make it work for him, and she hesitated for a long time before saying, "Then can you talk to brother?"
In her impression, Ye Cheng should not like stupid people, such as herself.
Lu Xiao was stabbed by her just now, and now she also wants to be angry with her, so she deliberately said: "Yeah, your brother not only can chat with me, but also likes me very much. Give me all the delicious food, and you will be angry if you make me angry." Offer to apologize."
He switched the roles of himself and Ye Cheng, and said it very smoothly.
"Impossible!" Ye Qiaoqiao was really unhappy, "My brother never brought me delicious food, and he never apologized to me, so stop lying."
"Cut, you still don't believe me." Lu Xiao got into a fight with a little girl, but he insisted on her convincing, who told her to mention Huang Sheng'an.
"You wait." He stepped aside and opened WeChat to send a message.
Suspect X: [Are you there, Brother Cheng.]
Restrain it: [[Doubt]]
Restrain it: [You are calling me brother, I kind of want to say that I am not here.]
Lu Xiao gambled on the dignity of a male high school student: [Send me a voice message.]
Restrain it: [?]
Suspect X: [Say to me 'Sorry, I know I was wrong, please forgive me'.]
There was no reply for a while, Lu Xiao stared at the phone screen expectantly.
Ye Qiaoqiao sat on the bed, looked at him nervously, and said firmly, "Come on, my brother can't possibly apologize to you."
"I'll hit you in the face right away." Lu Xiao turned around and said.
The phone vibrated and received a voice message.
Lu Xiao felt refreshed, and raised her phone triumphantly: "How about it, are you convinced now?"
Of course Ye Qiaoqiao was not convinced, she pouted her neck and said, "Let me hear it, it must be fake!"
Lu Xiao smiled with the corner of her mouth slanted, and spoke the voice slowly.
Ye Cheng's calm and indifferent voice came out, resounding throughout the ward.
"You idiot, you're full."
There was a brief silence in the ward, and then, Ye Qiaoqiao burst into earth-shattering laughter, so much that she choked on her saliva.
Lu Xiao stared at the phone in disbelief, feeling that the world had collapsed.
"Hahahaha, the cowhide is blown." Ye Qiao laughed until her stomach ached, rolling around on the bed.
Lu Xiao shook her hand and clicked again accidentally.
"Stupid? You..." Ye Cheng's voice sounded again, and he hurriedly exited the chat.
Ye Qiaoqiao burst into tears and laughed: "It's the first time I've heard my brother swear, you're so amazing."
Lu Xiao was too lazy to talk to her with a cold face, but it seemed special to be "the first person to be scolded by Ye Cheng"
Ye Qiaoqiao laughed enough, and finally remembered to ask one thing: "Are you really having a good time with my brother, and you even came to the hospital to see me?"
Lu Xiao couldn't say that I came here for my "rival in love", so she glanced at her casually and said, "What's wrong with you? It must be because of disobedience."
"Leukemia." Ye Qiaoqiao said.
Lu Xiao was taken aback. He didn't pay much attention to the department's sign when he came.
"How come..." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "How long have you been in the hospital, have you found the right bone marrow?"
Ye Qiaoqiao shook her head: "I've just been hospitalized, last time I overheard the conversation between the doctor and my brother, and said that there is no one who is worthy for me."
Lu Xiao couldn't help asking: "Are you Ye Cheng's biological sister?"
Ye Qiaoqiao looked away, seemed a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice: "He and I are the same father."
Lu Xiao understood, and nodded with a complicated expression.
He didn't know that Ye Qiaoqiao had this disease, and now he was too embarrassed to argue with her, so he took out his phone and said, "Are you playing games? I'll take you to beat the king."
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up: "Is it okay, I'm a good cook."
"No problem, brother carry the audience." Lu Xiao said.
Ye Qiaoqiao frowned, and said awkwardly: "But, my brother confiscated my mobile phone."
"Ah? He took it away?" Lu Xiao asked in surprise, she didn't expect Ye Cheng to be so strict with her.
"No, it's hidden above the cabinet." Ye Qiaoqiao pointed to the wardrobe in the ward. There was a gap between the top and the ceiling, where her mobile phone was.
"It's not easy." Lu Xiao looked up and snapped her fingers.
He moved a chair casually, stepped on it, and easily touched the phone.
Ye Qiaoqiao is 1.55 meters tall, even with two chairs she can't reach her.
She cheered excitedly, waved her hands and said, "Brother, you are too strong! You got it so easily!"
Lu Xiao felt very comfortable being praised by the little girl. She threw the phone to her and said, "You are Ye Cheng's sister, that is, my sister. It's not easy to play with a mobile phone."
Ye Qiaoqiao thought that my brother would never let me play with my phone, she smiled and asked, "Brother, what's your name?"
Those old ladies were arguing a lot just now, and she didn't hear a word clearly.
"Lu Xiao, you can call me Brother Xiao from now on." Lu Xiao teased her coolly, and said shamelessly, "So is it better for me or Huang Shengan?"
Of course, Ye Qiaoqiao is a mother if she has a milk, she became a traitor without hesitation: "Of course it's you!"
Lu Xiao was very satisfied, touched her head and said, "Good boy, I'll bring you a toy next time."
Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly leaned on her thigh, and was knocked dizzy by happiness.
She grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "I want a Barbie doll, not a Lego. Brother Sheng'an bought me a Lego last time. I wanted to die because of it."
Lu Xiao thought that Huang Sheng'an didn't understand little girls too much, so she promised her, "No problem."
Ye Qiaoqiao happily prepared timi, and heard him say,
"However, you have to promise me two things."
"What?" She looked up in confusion.
Obviously, neither Ye Gaoyang nor Qu Tian told her a truth: there is no free lunch in the world.
Lu Xiao said kindly: "First, help me look after your brother, don't let those messy men and women approach him, understand what I mean?"
Ye Qiaoqiao said in a daze, "Is it the ones who asked him to chat up WeChat?"
Lu Xiao snapped her fingers again: "It's clear at one point, girl."
Ye Qiaoqiao murmured, "I didn't like those people before. When I went shopping with my brother during the summer vacation, some people came to strike up a conversation. Even though, you don't like them either?"
"I'm doing this for his own good. I'm afraid he'll be fooled by others." Lu Xiao made an excuse.
"Single...pure?" Ye Qiaoqiao felt that this word didn't seem to fit well with Ye Cheng.
It would be nice for others not to be played to death by him.
"This is the first thing. The second thing, can you tell me what your brother likes?" Lu Xiao asked.
Ye Qiaoqiao scratched her head and said without hesitation, "He likes to study."
Lu Xiao said: "...it's not this. Isn't it his birthday soon? I've been thinking about it for a few days, but I don't know what gift I should give him."
Ye Qiaoqiao understood. She scratched the back of her head and thought for a while, then seriously suggested, "Why don't you give me the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation"?"
The name of "May Three" is known to the extent that even elementary school students know it.
Lu Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "If I knew you were so useless, I wouldn't have helped you with your phone."
Ye Qiaoqiao hurriedly stuffed the phone under the quilt, afraid that he would put it back again: "Give me a chance, I'll think about it."
She thought about it for a long time, then said hesitantly, "I don't think my brother likes the kind of gifts that can be bought easily, such as the few Hermes boxes you took today."
Lu Xiao: "Well, what does he like?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I think he should like more meaningful things." Ye Qiaoqiao analyzed, "He is very nostalgic, the kind that can last for many years with a schoolbag and a cup."
Lu Xiao stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Ye Qiaoqiao said: "It also depends on who the other party is. If you and your brother have a really good relationship, as long as you prepare it carefully, he will like it."
Lu Xiao looked at her: "I found that you have no other skills, but you can speak quite well."
"Hey, so brother Xiao took me to fly?"
"Take it, you must take it."
Half an hour later, Ye Cheng came back alone.
Gao Qiulan took her group of little sisters to go shopping, and before he opened the door of the ward, he heard fierce shouting and cursing from inside.
"Whether you know how to play or not, get out."
"I'm fucking messing around with rice on my phone, and the chicken's movements are even worse than yours."
…
Ye Cheng opened the door and entered, and saw Lu Xiao and Ye Qiaoqiao each with a mobile phone, and were passionately spraying their teammates.
He walked over and folded his arms and said, "What are you doing?"
"None of your business!" Ye Qiaoqiao blushed cursing and replied casually.
Hearing his voice, Lu Xiao stopped cursing halfway, and slowly raised her head.
"Brother Xiao, why aren't you moving? Damn, he passed by again..." Ye Qiaoqiao was still fighting bloody battles.
She was talking vigorously when the phone was suddenly snatched away by a hand.
Ye Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked over, she was dumbfounded.
"Brother... You, you are back, so fast..." She was so frightened that she stuttered.
Lu Xiao quickly put her mobile phone into her trouser pocket, stood up and looked around and said, "Are you finished eating? Didn't you go shopping around?"
No matter what, he thought that the group of old ladies would wander around until the afternoon before coming back.
Ye Cheng lifted the bag in his hand, and said coldly: "Isn't it to bring you food, I let you watch her do her homework, is that how you see it?"
Before leaving, he asked Lu Xiao to take Ye Qiaoqiao to study, but the two of them didn't even bring out their textbooks.
"I see her...she doesn't seem very comfortable, so I want her to play for a while before studying."
Lu Xiao's mind turned so fast that she quickly gave Ye Qiaoqiao a wink.
Ye Qiaoqiao immediately supported her forehead cooperatively, and groaned twice: "Brother, I'm so dizzy."
Ye Cheng frowned, and reached out to check her temperature, "I don't have a fever, besides dizziness, is there any pain?"
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't dare to make a mistake too much, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Ye Cheng gave Lu Xiao a warning look and said, "If she's not feeling well, let her rest. If she can feel comfortable playing games, then why do you need a doctor?"
"You're right, I'll know next time." Lu Xiao immediately picked up his words.
"Come over and eat." Ye Cheng took a small table and placed the food on the table.
The old ladies ordered a bunch of Sichuan dishes, and he asked the waiter to make light ones for the two of them.
Ye Qiaoqiao ate a piece of broccoli with a painful face, then looked at Ye Cheng expectantly.
"Awesome." Ye Cheng said perfunctorily.
Lu Xiao bit her chopsticks and said, "I also eat broccoli, why don't you praise me."
"Are you thirteen too?" Ye Cheng was speechless.
Lu Xiao said: "You can treat me as three years old, I don't mind."
Ye Cheng smiled lightly.
Ye Qiaoqiao buried her face in the bowl, occasionally glancing back and forth at their faces.
She always felt that the relationship between Lu Xiao and her brother was not as "good" as she thought, and seemed to be a little unclear.
This is very different from what Huang Shengan gave her, but I can't tell what is different.
After eating, Ye Cheng sent Lu Xiao to the gate of the hospital.
He asked, "Can the institution keep up?"
"Barely enough," Lu Xiao said, "I didn't stay in the hotel, I went home to stay at night."
"Are you alone?" Ye Cheng said.
Lu Xiao glanced at her watch and said, "I'm going to pick up my mother at 3:30 in the afternoon. It's about right to go there now."
Ye Cheng let out a breath: "Auntie is finally discharged from the hospital."
Lu Xiao said: "She was discharged from the hospital some time ago, and she has been resting in the villa near the hospital for the past few days, saying she wanted to get some fresh air."
Ye Cheng was not at ease with him, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need, I'll come back after I pick her up." Lu Xiao waved her hand and said with a slight smile, "Go up, it's cold outside."
Ye Cheng stood there without moving.
The snow had stopped, and a ray of long-lost sunshine appeared in the gray sky.
The snow swept by the cleaners was piled up on the side of the road, and the color of the trampled dust was so dusty that no one could tell.
Ye Cheng stood for a while, then said: "If you and auntie are fine during the Chinese New Year, you can come to my house to spend the New Year together."
During the meal just now, the aunts and grandmas mentioned buying new year's goods. It suddenly occurred to him that Lu Xiao's house was probably very deserted.
So I asked Gao Qiulan if I could invite him to celebrate the New Year together.
Of course Gao Qiulan happily agreed, and asked them to teach him a few more dishes to entertain guests.
Lu Xiao was taken aback, with joy in her eyes.
He didn't expect Ye Cheng to take the initiative to invite him, and he thought he was going to pretend to be pitiful.
"Wouldn't it bother you too much?" he asked.
"No, it's very lively if there are more people," Ye Cheng said, "As long as Auntie agrees."
Lu Xiao laughed: "My mother actually likes to eat with everyone, but there is never anyone at home."
They looked at each other quietly for a while, and Lu Xiao blushed a little and said, "Then it's settled. I'm leaving first, you go back quickly."
"Ok."
He just turned around, but was stopped by Ye Cheng again.
"Wait," Ye Cheng stepped forward, "You're not wearing a scarf, aren't you cold?"
He quickly took off his scarf, raised his hand and wrapped it around Lu Xiao's neck.
This semester, Lu Xiao seems to have jumped a lot. He is getting taller and taller, and Ye Cheng has to work hard to help him surround him.
Lu Xiao's mouth and nose were covered by a scarf, revealing only her dark eyes and a tall nose.
Those beautiful eyes were bent, and he joked: "You care about me so much, Mr. Squad Leader, don't you miss me so much for a few days?"
Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed by what he said, and slightly annoyed: "Are you really three years old?"
Lu Xiao's eyes were even more curved with a smile: "Yes, I love Ultraman."
Ye Cheng deliberately angered him: "Altman is all fake."
"Bah!" Lu Xiao replied.
The air became quiet again, he coughed and said, "I'm really leaving."
Ye Cheng took a step back and joked softly, "Get lost."
"Okay." Lu Xiao waved to him like a beckoning cat, smiled and turned to leave.
Ye Cheng stood at the door of the hospital, looking at the tall figure with her hands in her trouser pockets.
He gradually closed his hands hanging by his side, sensing the impulse in his heart - he almost wanted to call Lu Xiao to stop just now.
A withered yellow sycamore leaf above his head was drooped by the wind and fell unsteadily to his feet.
The thought that was poked by that sentence just now gradually spread along with the blush.
It turned out that he hadn't seen him for a few days, but he actually missed him so much.
She always didn't want him to leave just like that, and inadvertently found several reasons to interrupt him.
Missing has no shape like the wind, but it can fill the whole heart silently at the moment it sweeps past.
His nails dug deep into the palm of his hand, and he could no longer relieve the sudden palpitations.
