At noon, the old man kicked them out of the ward, saying that they would take a nap and let them go out to find food by themselves.
Outside the hospital, the two of them found a restaurant to eat casually. There were a lot of customers, so they had to wait for a while.
After the two finished ordering, they were speechless.
Ying Tongchen poured two cups of tea, handed him a cup, then held his own in both hands, it was a little hot, took a sip, and when he raised his head, he saw Zhuo Shu was staring at him again.
He sighed inwardly and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Why are you so cute drinking tea?" Zhuo Shu asked.
"..." Ying Tongchen touched his forehead, not knowing what expression to show, "Just ask this?"
Zhuo Shu: "Otherwise?"
"Did the old man tell you something?" Ying Tongchen asked.
"Yeah." Zhuo Shu said, "But he only revealed a few things. He didn't talk about deeper things. Maybe he didn't want me to know, or maybe he didn't know very well."
For example, how did you live after your parents divorced
How did you survive when you were bullied
Why did the college entrance examination fail
He wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he was afraid of uncovering his scars. He clearly cared about it, but he could only pretend that he didn't care.
The waiter served two dishes, and the two began to move chopsticks. Ying Tongchen took a few bites, and suddenly said, "I allow you to ask one question, only one."
Zhuo Shu immediately asked, "How did you deal with that dog man?"
Ying Tongchen seemed to think about it for a while before he remembered who the dog man he was talking about was. He took the order lightly, lowered his head and said, "I collected some information and reported to the Education Bureau that his father bribed the director, and it didn't take long. He just transferred schools, and I heard that he was found to have cheated in the college entrance examination, so I don't know what to do later."
Zhuo Shu was happy in body and mind, and quickly put some vegetables in his bowl, as if he felt that it was not enough, he pushed the plate directly to him, and said, "Can I ask one more question?"
Ying Tongchen pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that when he opened the notebooks that recorded old events, the pages were already yellow and rotten, but they were just jokes at the dinner table.
He nodded: "Ask."
"The teacher said that you failed the college entrance examination to make money to support him. What's going on?" Zhuo Shu asked.
"Because at that time, he was the only one who found out that I was malicious." Ying Tongchen smiled lightly.
When his parents divorced, he thought it was the most tormenting day, so he was almost suffocated by the boy's pretense of gentleness. When everyone hit him in the head, he had a malice he had never felt before.
Ying Tongchen asked, "Do you know what I looked up on the Internet when he found me in an Internet cafe?"
Zhuo Shu: "What?"
"Criminal Law." Ying Tongchen's mouth curved.
Zhuo Shu: "." Suddenly scared.
"After the old man sent me home, he was worried about my psychological problems, so he found a reason to ask the school to grant me leave and let me study at home." Ying Tongchen said, "In those days he came to my house whenever he was free. , tried every means to force me to study, and asked teachers from other subjects to record a recording during class and bring it back for me to listen to.”
Zhuo Shu suddenly realized: "So during this period of time, is what he said about you going out to study with a teacher?"
"What did he say?" Ying Tongchen sneered a few times, "It can be said that he put a lot of effort into my studies. In life, he is also taking care of me. Buy some side dishes downstairs, come up and make a mess, and the two of you will have enough to eat. Until now, the only dish he can handle is a crab, which is the only dish he has learned since he was a child."
"No wonder you like to eat." Zhuo Shu thought to himself, it turned out that there was nothing else to eat.
"He fed me chicken blood and chicken soup every day, and finally persuaded me to go back to school." Ying Tongchen said, "My life was about to get back on track, but when I was approaching the college entrance examination, someone reported that I had gone too far with my teacher. Nearly. Because I'm gay and the teacher has been single, it's rumored that we're having an affair."
"Too hateful!" Zhuo Shu gritted his teeth.
"Rumours spread very fast. Although we were doing well, the teacher could no longer continue to work. Some parents objected to him continuing to teach. In order to quell public opinion, the school talked to him for a while, and he voluntarily resigned. already."
Zhuo Shu frowned.
"I'm sorry for him. If these things don't happen, he can stay at that school and wait for his people." Ying Tongchen sighed, "Then the whole street spread, saying that he The teacher's morality was corrupt. He couldn't stay any longer, so he moved to this city, so I also passed the test... "
Ying Tongchen said, his slightly trembling hand was wrapped by another warm big hand.
Zhuo Shu said warmly: "It's all over, you and the teacher are doing well now."
Ying Tongchen nodded in a panic, clenched his fists, and then came back to his senses: "I'm sorry."
Zhuo Shu wanted to comfort him again, but the waiter interrupted them with the dishes: "Sir, your dishes are ready, can you move your hands a little first, so that I can put the dishes."
"okay."
The two retracted their hands crampedly, looked down at the table, Zhuo Shu quietly closed their palms, and the cool temperature seemed to still stay in them.
The next day was Monday, Ying Tongchen had a lot of classes, and it was a little troublesome to toss back and forth. I planned to ask for leave, but neither Zhuo Shu nor the old man agreed.
"I'll take care of it." Zhuo Shu pushed him out the door, "Don't worry, go back and rest early, the students are still waiting for you, Teacher Ying."
"Is it really okay?" Ying Tongchen asked worriedly.
"Of course, I hit it off with the teacher, and I have to listen to his story."
"Thank you." Ying Tongchen glanced at the time and had to let the old man rest earlier, "Then I'll go back first and invite you to dinner another day."
Zhuo Shu looked at his lonely and tall back, suddenly caught up, grabbed his arm and pulled the man back.
Ying Tongchen was caught off guard, and was hugged into his arms by the other party, forgetting to react for a while.
Then he heard Zhuo Shu whispering in his ear: "You have grown up alone over the years, and it's been hard work. However, you will also meet many, many people who love you, don't worry."
Ying Tongchen's heart swayed slightly, his eyes were slightly moist, and he quickly regained control of his emotions.
At this time, the passing nurse elder sister saw this scene and stepped forward and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, they're all good brothers, the more affectionate and affectionate, the better!"
Ying Tongchen: "..."
Zhuoshu: "..."
"Then I'll go back first." Ying Tongchen pushed the person away, turned around and walked into the elevator.
Zhuo Shu waved his hand: "Goodbye."
"Yeah." Ying Tongchen nodded, then shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere.
It was not until the elevator door was closed that he looked straight ahead, stared in the direction of a void, and smiled lightly.
There was a foldable sofa in the ward, and when it was unfolded, it was a bed. After Zhuo Shu took the quilt, he sat and chatted beside the old man for a while, and then he was ready to go to sleep.
"Zhuo Shu." The old man suddenly called out his name, "Don't blame the old man for his troubles, there is something I still want to ask, so you can rest assured. Do you really like Tongchen?"
Zhuo Shu nodded: "Of course it's true."
"That's good." The old man looked at the ceiling and smiled, "I hope Tongchen didn't see the wrong person this time. He doesn't express his emotions easily, but I can see that his subconscious actions are all revealing. Happy."
Zhuo Shu said happily: "Really? Do you think he likes me too?"
"What are you talking about, you are his boyfriend, why do you want to confirm with me?" The old man glanced at him angrily, and smiled again, "Yes, I also think he likes you, okay. If not Seeing how stupid you are, I'm not worried. Maybe, hey, he likes your stupidity."
"Who's stupid." Zhuo Shu said dissatisfiedly, "I make a lot of money, and I will make money to support you both in the future."
The old man covered his stomach and smiled again: "Come on, it's useless for you to tell me these words."
"Yes, then I won't tell you, go to bed earlier." Zhuo Shu smiled, "When he comes tomorrow, I will tell him in person."
As a result, the next day, Ying Tongchen was unable to come due to several impromptu meetings.
Zhuo Shu was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang. He took a few pictures of the old man eating and drinking and sent them to Ying Tongchen.
The next afternoon, after having lunch, he just walked out of the corridor when he met the elder sister, the nurse.
The eldest sister said, "The old man just went downstairs to walk around the garden. Your brother is here."
Hearing this, Zhuo Shu was secretly overjoyed, he must make a successful confession today!
He walked quickly to the door and saw that a curtain was drawn beside the hospital bed. Usually, he would pull it up during the day so that the old man could change his clothes. He presumably forgot to leave.
A figure swayed, as if looking for something.
Zhuo Shu said: "So you are here."
The figure was stunned and reached out to lift the curtain, but he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move, I have something to tell you."
The man withdrew his hand.
Zhuo Shu closed the door, approached a little, but didn't dare to get too close, took a deep breath, and asked, "The last time I asked you, you haven't answered me yet. Can you give me an answer today?"
The other party is silent.
"Wait a minute, I'll do it again." Zhuo Shu recalled for a moment, and said, "Since the first time I saw you, I seemed to see Cupid waving at me, and then shot an arrow at my heart. "
"..."
"You are so charming, with an angel-like face and a devil-like figure, which makes you want to get closer."
Zhuo Shu's ability to remember and remember is still very strong, not to mention that he was carrying that love letter with him at the time, and he just glanced at it when he had nothing to do with it.
Ban Zhang, a genius, can write a love letter that is so versatile. It's a bit dirty, but it's much better than his dry "I love you".
"..."
I've never met someone like you who makes my heart move. I can't help myself, I almost forgot who I am and what I want to do. What is the purpose of my life? I have no idea... ... "
"..."
"I only know that I will follow what I love, and I am willing to give everything I have to follow you." Zhuo Shu said with a hearty voice, and added a finishing touch, "I love you!"
“……………”
"Give me a chance and let me take care of you and the teacher. Although the teacher runs the train with his mouth full, I know you won't leave him behind."
Zhuo Shu said sincerely, at this moment, the curtain was suddenly rudely opened: "Who are you talking about running the train with their mouths full!"
Zhuo Shu was startled, took a few steps back, and pointed at him in surprise: "Teacher, why are you here?"
"I was even startled by you, I almost thought you were going to confess to me." The old man snorted and looked at him with disgust, "What kind of bullshit you are talking about, something that only a three-year-old can think of. "
"..." Zhuo Shu was wronged, but he didn't say, "Didn't the eldest sister say you went to the garden? Where's Tongchen?"
"He said he came to the hospital, so I'll be right back, I just changed into hospital clothes," the old man said.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were the same dust." Zhuo Shu stood there awkwardly.
The old man narrowed his eyes and asked, "I'm asking you, aren't you in a relationship? Why are you making a confession now?"
"Second romance." Zhuo Shu said foolishly, turning around and wanting to leave, "You have a good rest, I'll go out for a while."
"Wait, don't you want to see Tongchen?" the old man asked.
"Where is he?" Zhuo Shu immediately turned back and asked.
"Tongchen, come out." The old man laughed, "I should have heard it."
Zhuo Shu looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly glanced under the bed.
Old man: "..."
After a long while, the toilet door opened with a click, and Ying Tongchen appeared at the door with a bowl of fresh strawberries in his hand.
He looked at Zhuo Shu, then at the old man, and put the things on the table: "After washing, let's eat."
After speaking, he walked out without looking back.
Zhuo Shu was stunned for a moment, and the old man said with a "tsk": "What are you still doing, don't hurry up and chase."
"Oh yes." Zhuo Shu immediately chased out and found Ying Tongchen at the end of the corridor. The other party just lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"Did you hear it just now?" Zhuo Shu asked.
Ying Tongchen nodded, looked out the window, and asked vaguely, "Why do you like me? Is it because your body fits?"
"Of course I can't deny that this aspect is very good." Zhuo Shu said, "But I can't tell, I am very happy when I see you, and I am very angry when I see you with others, and I can't see you. I wanted to see you very much when I was with you... I have never felt these feelings before, so I have always been confused, until recently I realized that I am in love with you, I want to be with you, I want to be with you you only belong to me."
Ying Tongchen raised his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly: "Is there a bonus point for sympathy?"
"No, not at all." Zhuo Shu shook his head, "Didn't I tell you once a few days ago, then I didn't know about you."
Hearing this, Ying Tongchen was stunned for a few seconds, and the taut string finally broke.
He lowered his head and shook the cigarette ashes, hooked the corners of his mouth, suddenly grabbed his collar when he raised his head, pulled a little closer, and said in a low voice, "Think about the consequences, if you dare to play with me now or in the future. , it is not just as simple as being reported, maybe it will enter the criminal law."
Zhuo Shu laughed: "What kind of criminal law? The kind that keeps you in prison for life and still wears handcuffs?"
Ying Tongchen smiled and said, "There is no positive type."
"There are even more unorthodox ones." Zhuo Shu leaned into his ear and whispered, "I want to kiss you now."
"There are so many people here." Ying Tongchen glanced at him.
"Why do you have to put a stamp on this beautiful moment to record it." Zhuo Shu stared at his slightly flushed ears, raised his hand to touch his cheek, and accidentally touched his cigarette butt, "Hi—"
Ying Tongchen quickly put out the cigarette and grabbed his hand to see the injury.
"Oh, I won't see you for a while, and you guys are fighting again!" The nurse aunt saw them fighting here after a while, "Why are you still burning people with cigarette butts? That's not right."
"Auntie, it's none of his business." Zhuo Shu patted the ash and explained.
Aunt: "I can see it clearly, come on, you all give me your hand."
Zhuo Shu stretched out his hand, and Ying Tongchen thought that the eldest sister had some remedies, so he also stretched out his hand.
Then, the eldest sister put Zhuo Shu's hand into Ying Tongchen's hand, and said solemnly: "The old man has just finished the operation, so he can't see the scene where you guys are fighting so hard, at least the superficial skills must be done well!"
Ying Tongchen: "?"
Zhuo Shu: "?"
Aunt: "Okay, just go in like this, the old man will be happy when he sees it."
Zhuo Shu looked down at the tightly clasped hands of the two, and agreed, "I think Auntie is right."
Ying Tongchen: "..."
"Let's go." Zhuo Shu took him and walked forward.
Ying Tongchen stepped back and was pulled forward by Zhuo Shu again.
Many people in the hallway looked over as if they were lively.
Ying Tongchen lowered his head subconsciously, avoiding the sight of these people.
Zhuo Shu glanced back at him, not only did he not let go, but his grip was a little stronger.
The aunt smiled next to her, and explained to everyone triumphantly: "See, these two brothers quarrel and fight every day for inheritance. Now they have been taught by me, look how close they are now!"
Zhuo Shu: "?"
Ying Tongchen: "???"
"It's amazing, you are still amazing, Sister Niu!"
"It turns out that these are the two brothers who fought that day."
"In the end, we are all a family. It would be better if we can reconcile. Children, be a good person in the future."
Everyone was talking, but no one had a strange look.
Ying Tongchen looked down at Zhuo Shu's big hand, opened his palm, passed through his fingers, and intertwined his fingers.
Zhuo Shu was stunned for a moment, looked at him in surprise and joy, and couldn't help but turned his head and kissed his forehead.
The aunt was very happy: "Look! What kind of two brothers! In the future, please feel free to find me if there is a dispute between the rich and powerful!"
"It's amazing, you are still amazing, Sister Niu."
Ying Tongchen: "..."
