He followed Lu Rendong into the alley, and not long after walking in, he led Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao into a building.
The steps were deliberately heavier, and then the lights came on. The corridor was quite dirty, and the mottled and peeling walls were stained with something unknown. There were many brown and yellow stains, and the floor was not very clean either. Where you stepped on it, the rest was dust.
Lu Rendong looked back and his eyes fell on Shen Ruo. He pursed his lips and seemed a little embarrassed, but in the end he didn't say anything and walked upstairs.
Through the dim light in the corridor, Shen Ruo could clearly see his expression, but Lu Rendong didn't see the comforting smile he raised because he turned his head too quickly.
But the smile on his face was seen by Chu Xiao next to him, and his slightly better mood turned bad again. He squeezed Shen Ruo's palm.
When Shen Ruo raised his head to look at him, Chu Xiao lowered his head, lowered his voice and said quickly in his ear: "Just wait for me tonight."
There was a sense of gnashing of teeth in the words. Shen Ruo was confused and helpless. He was a little confused by these words, but it was difficult to ask outside, and Lu Rendong was about to go up. He pulled Chu Xiao to the stairs. Walk.
The stairs were relatively narrow, so Shen Ruo had to let go of Chu Xiao first, and the two of them followed Lu Lingdong up one after another.
When Young Master Chu's hand was let go, his expression became even worse.
Stopped on the third floor and followed Lu Lingdong into the house on the left.
The one-bedroom room looks relatively small whether it is the living room or other places. In the corner of the living room, there is a single bed surrounded by curtains. The quilts and sheets are clean and tidy. The room is also cleaned relatively clean, but it is too It’s small, and so is the sofa.
After Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao came in, Lu Rendong looked even more embarrassed.
"You guys sit down first."
He was silent for a moment before speaking, and then went to get a cup and fill it with water.
The ceiling is relatively low, which makes the originally small space look even narrower and lower, especially after Chu Xiao comes in. He is already tall. Shen Ruo can imagine that he can touch the ceiling with just his hand. look.
As soon as Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao sat down, they heard a cough coming from the bedroom. It was a woman's voice.
"Dong'er, who's here?"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded, causing Chu Xiao to turn his head and look at the bedroom door. He frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Rendong did not answer immediately. He poured two glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table in front of Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "I'll go in for a while."
After a pause, he lowered his head slightly and said again: "The cup is clean."
The volume of this sentence was relatively low. After Lu Rendong said it, he walked into the bedroom.
After Shen Ruo heard those words, he probably understood where Lu Rendong's embarrassment came from. He picked up a clean glass and took a sip of water. Then he looked at Chu Xiao, who was sitting on this small sofa. It was okay, but as soon as Chu Xiao sat down, it seemed a little crowded.
Although he is not that strong, he is a man of both height and weight. His frame is there, even if he is tall and thin, he is definitely not light, which makes the not-so-strong sofa make a slight creaking sound.
However, neither of them paid much attention to this. While Lu Lingdong was not around, Chu Xiao put his hand into Shen Ruo's jacket, wrapped his big hands around the slender waist, rubbed it and took advantage, and then looked at Shen Ruo's dissatisfied eyes. Take your hand back.
There was no movement from the bedroom. Chu Xiao leaned over and kissed Shen Ruo quickly, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't get too close to him."
This sentence made Shen Ruo too puzzled. He looked at Chu Xiao doubtfully, thinking that he and Lu Rendong were not too close and didn't even say a few words. Why would Chu Xiao say such a thing.
Seeing that Shen Ruo didn't understand, Chu Xiao was so angry that he flicked his forehead with his finger, but he couldn't express clearly that he didn't like to see Shen Ruo holding hands with other people, even if the other person was just a junior with the same gender as Shen Ruo.
At this time, Lu Rendong came out of the room. He came over and looked at Chu Xiao. He was a little depressed and just said, "Mom wants to see you."
After hearing what he said, Chu Xiao pulled Shen Ruo up and planned to go in together.
Shen Ruo felt that this was not good and wanted to take his hand out of Chu Xiao's hand, but he held it tightly.
The two of them entered the room together. Lu Rendong in the living room watched the door close. His eyes fell on where Shen Ruo was sitting just now. There was obviously less water in the cup on the coffee table.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his depressed mood finally improved. The worry that he had thought he would be rejected was gone. A very shallow smile appeared on Lu Rendong's beautiful face, and it disappeared in an instant.
—
In the room, Shen Ruo was brought in by Chu Xiao.
Looking at the woman lying on the bed, he stood next to Chu Xiao without speaking, trying to reduce his presence, but he could still clearly see the woman's appearance.
She has a slight resemblance to Chu Xiao. Even though she looks sick and looks bad now, she can still be seen as a very beautiful woman. Lu Rendong looks a lot like her.
"Chu Xiao."
Elena looked at Chu Xiao for a while, then she forced a smile and spoke. Tears seemed to appear in her eyes, and they quickly disappeared.
"Cousin Elena."
Still holding Shen Ruo's hand, Chu Xiao said, this sentence was also meant for Shen Ruo, so that he could know the relationship between him, Elena and Lu Rendong.
When she heard Chu Xiao calling her, her peach blossom eyes curled up, beautiful and warm. Shen Ruo looked at the woman on the bed and smiled. She had a beautiful smile, and those eyes were almost the same as Lu Lingdong's.
Elena smiled and then started to cough again. She covered her mouth with her hands. After she finished, she looked at Chu Xiao apologetically.
Her eyes turned to Shen Ruo, and after seeing the hands they were holding, she smiled at Shen Ruo, a very kind smile.
"Shen Ruo, my true lord."
Chu Xiao said with a natural expression.
"Cousin Elena."
Shen Ruo, who was suddenly introduced, smiled at Elena, a little embarrassed, but still said hello, thinking that using the same title as Chu Xiao would not go wrong.
"hello."
The smile on Elena's face never stopped, and she tilted her head slightly while lying on the bed. One can imagine that when she was healthy, she should be a lively woman.
Just after she finished speaking, she started coughing again.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
Chu Xiao frowned slightly, and he turned on the optical brain, but Elena called out to him.
"It's just a minor problem. It'll be fine in a few days."
She said it very calmly, but anyone who looked at her pale and weak face knew that the situation was not good.
Chu Xiao, who had just turned on his optical brain, stopped and looked at Elena, still frowning slightly.
After a moment of silence, Elena asked: "Over there, do you know?"
"I didn't tell them."
Chu Xiao heard her start coughing again and contacted the hospital while talking.
"I'll take you to one of my hospitals, they won't know."
Elena opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing and fell silent.
—
Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao came out and closed the door gently. Elena said she wanted to change clothes, so they came out and took her with them later.
Lu Rendong, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up immediately. He looked at Chu Xiao uneasily. Until now, he didn't know Chu Xiao's name, only Shen Ruo's.
Before he went in and mentioned Chu Xiao to his mother, he said that his mother was also from the Adelaide family and was a very young man. The look on his mother's face at that time suggested that he knew the other party's identity but did not tell him immediately.
"I'll take her to the hospital. If you want to come with me, just pack your things."
Chu Xiao opened his mouth and saw that Lu Rendong looked stunned and did not give a specific explanation.
At this time, Elena in the room called Lu Rendong, and he quickly walked in.
When Lu Rendong helped the unsteady Elena come out of the bedroom, Chu Xiao walked over and took the suitcase in his hand.
Elena sat down on the sofa, while Lu Rendong was packing his clothes. He moved quickly, as if he was afraid that Chu Xiao and Shen Ruo would wait for a long time.
After locking the door, Lu Rendong helped Elena go downstairs. Shen Ruo wanted to help her, but because the stairs were too narrow, there was barely room for two people to stand. He and Chu Xiao walked behind, but they kept paying attention. Looking at the two people in front.
Fortunately, there were no mistakes along the way, and the four people finally boarded the aircraft.
Different from when he came here, this time Chu Xiao drove very steadily and at a moderate speed, flying towards the hospital.
Shen Ruo was sitting in the passenger seat, followed by Lu Rendong and Elena.
"Dong'er, he is Uncle Chu Xiao."
Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief. She touched Lu Lingdong's hair and told him with a smile.
After speaking, she spoke again, as if talking to Lu Rendong, or explaining to Chu Xiao.
"Call uncle to be closer than uncle."
Chu Xiao didn't refute this statement. He responded calmly, saying that it was okay and did not make the atmosphere awkward. In fact, his cousin's children could be called uncles and uncles. After hearing this, Shen Ruo realized that his uncle was That's what happened.
Shen Ruo glanced at the system light screen that appeared in front of him, but there was still no movement on it.
Elena coughed from time to time due to physical reasons, so she didn't say much.
When the hospital arrived, Chu Xiao parked the aircraft on the apron on the roof of the building, where someone was already waiting.
Elena lay on the suspended mobile hospital bed, pushed by a male nurse behind her, and walked into the elevator. Lu Rendong followed closely, and Chu Xiao and Shen Ruo also followed.
The clean and warm single ward is obviously of high standard. There is also a single room further inside, which is prepared for the family members of the caregiver. In addition to these, it is also equipped with a kitchen and bathroom.
Chu Xiao took out their suitcases from the space button. This private hospital belonged to him. Needless to say, the doctors and nurses would take good care of Elena and Lu Rendong.
Elena was surrounded by several doctors to check her body. Lu Rendong stood aside, and until now he was a little unresponsive.
Mother's illness has been going on for a long time. High-efficiency medicines are too expensive. They can only buy low-priced ones. Life is already difficult. They have to buy medicines every once in a while, which makes their money even tighter, so he often goes there. I work odd jobs, but I didn’t expect to be scammed tonight.
So many things happened in just a few hours. Even though he knew he had to come to the hospital on the way, but now he and his mother actually came into a well-known private hospital, Lu Rendong still felt that the development of things was beyond all his expectations. Unexpected.
After he entered this ward, due to his long-term habit, he couldn't help but think about how many credits it would cost to stay here for one night. He probably couldn't afford it with the ones he had in hand.
"Stay here for now. If you need anything, please contact me."
When Chu Xiao saw the doctors examining Elena, it was of little use for him to stay here, and he didn't know what to say to Elena and Lu Rendong. After all, they had just met today and were still relatively unfamiliar, so he spoke He said to Lu Rendong.
He turned on the optical brain and motioned to Lu Rendong to open it too.
After leaving the contact information, Chu Xiao looked at his nephew who was only two or three years younger than him. The confusion and confusion in his eyes were still there, and he suddenly thought of Shen Ruo who had just come to Emperor Star.
"Still in school?" Chu Xiao asked, his attitude finally softening.
"Yeah." Lu Rendong nodded.
Chu Xiao turned to look at the male caregiver who had not gone out yet. He turned to Lu Rendong and said, "Whether you want to go to school or have other requirements, just look for him."
Both Shen Ruo and Lu Rendong saw the look he looked at just now. The nurse also heard his words and nodded slightly towards Lu Rendong.
There was nothing else going on here. Chu Xiao took Shen Ruo's hand and was about to leave.
After saying hello to Elena, with the other party's gentle smile, Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao left the ward. On the way out, he looked back at Lu Rendong.
It was also at this glance that he saw Lu Rendong smile lightly at him, a very shy smile, but very beautiful.
This was the first time I saw Lu Rendong smiling.
Shen Ruo was being taken out of the room by Chu Xiao while thinking about it.
