Hospital.
In the small kitchen attached to the independent ward, Lu Rendong was cooking. He lowered his eyes and looked at the water that was about to boil.
The beautiful and slender demi-human boy stood quietly like this, which was a beautiful picture.
The boiling water was gurgling and tumbling. Lu Lingdong put away his thoughts and put the noodles and vegetables in one by one. The seasoning only used salt. The patient needed to eat lighter, and the noodles were also very thin.
Two bowls of noodles were simply served on the table. Each person had a poached egg in the bowl. Although the noodles were not that well made, they were pretty good for a high school sophomore.
Elena is still in the hospital bed. After these few days of treatment, she has been able to get up on her own. Lu Rendong is sitting at the end of the bed. Mother and son eat quietly, occasionally saying a word or two to ask about Lu Rendong's study status. .
After eating, Lu Rendong went to wash the dishes. Elena was not in good spirits, so she lay down slowly and closed her eyes.
Lu Rendong was very gentle in the kitchen. His mother needed to rest, so he was used to being so gentle.
Today is Saturday and I will be going out later. This time the child is not very naughty. He listens carefully to the lectures and is more relaxed than the previous one.
Even now that Chu Xiao has arranged for Elena and Lu Rendong to live here, they don’t have to pay anything. Even the ingredients they eat are bought and put in the refrigerator. There are also robots cleaning the room every day, inside and out. The outside is clean, and even if it's just a ward, it's much better than the place Lu Rendong and Elena rented.
However, he is still working part-time as a substitute teacher for children who are not good at studies.
There is really no need to worry about medical expenses and treatment expenses, but this thing happened so suddenly. Suddenly an uncle appeared and took them to the hospital to solve the problem that he had no solution for before.
He always felt uneasy in his heart, because everything was developing too well, his mother's illness would be cured, and he wouldn't have to work part-time and odd jobs to support medical expenses and living expenses like before, which made Lu Rendong unable to truly accept this.
But he could only accept it, because after the diagnosis of Elena's disease, the doctor said that fortunately it was delivered in time, and as long as it was treated properly, it would not continue to worsen.
From the bottom of his heart, Lu Rendong was grateful to Chu Xiao. If it hadn't been for him, maybe his mother's illness would have...
But compared to Chu Xiao, he actually had a better impression of Shen Ruo. Even if he had only met her once, the voice of the demi-human who would lead him was gentle and nice.
Chu Xiao looked very difficult to get close to. He knew at a glance that the other person had a bad temper, not to mention that he was the "Chu Xiao" whose reputation he had heard of before.
Lu Rendong actually worked several odd jobs in District E, all doing odd jobs. He left there quickly and never went there again. There were gangsters in the alley where he lived, but they were all very nice to him, no. Will bully him.
Especially the leader Huang Mao, although he always fights, he actually has a good heart. He has seen Huang Mao pretending to be fierce and throwing a bag of food into the house of a gray-haired old man. His attitude was very bad. And he ran away after throwing it away, and was very impatient with the old man's thanks.
Living in an alley, it was inevitable to have to deal with these people, and his mother was in poor health. Lu Rendong tried to get in touch with these people, and found that they were just a group of young people who didn't like to study, forming a clique, and they weren't actually that bad-hearted.
He had to go to school, and if his mother's old illness relapsed, he would be afraid of not being able to come back in time, so he deliberately tried to please them. The first time he heard Chu Xiao's name, he actually heard it from a gangster who often hangs out in the E-zone. .
As far as the area where they are staying, Area E is undoubtedly a rich area in the business district, so the people who can go there to hang out have a relatively high status among the gangsters. Generally, there are some gossips about the aristocrats and rich people. Some will be sent back.
Chu Xiao's name was in it. He had heard about it last year and also heard about Chu Xiao's deeds the year before, so he had a general impression.
In Lu Rendong's impression, Chu Xiao was almost always involved in fights, and he was beaten very hard. He also heard that he often changed girlfriends and boyfriends, which was very troublesome, but no one had ever shown his photo.
When Lu Rendong came to his senses, the person who saved him was Chu Xiao, whom he had heard of several times. He even confirmed the identity of the other party with his mother on the hospital bed. Of course, Elena had no idea what happened to Chu Xiao in the e-zone. He didn't know it clearly. He just heard it from others outside and didn't spread it everywhere.
Of course, the reason why I am more willing to get close to Shen Ruo is because when I was in the bar, Shen Ruo was easier to get along with than Chu Xiao, and they were both demi-human. When I got close to Shen Ruo, I gave him a very comfortable feeling. Originally, he just wanted to get close to him because he was uneasy, trying to tell others in a chaotic environment like the bar that he was not alone. But to his surprise, Shen Ruo held his hand, and after following him back, I drank the water from the cup without any objection.
A young man's self-esteem is extremely obvious in front of people he likes. Even if the cup is washed clean, he still feels worried.
Soon, Lu Rendong packed up the kitchen and came out. When he saw that his mother was asleep on the hospital bed, the footsteps became lighter. He picked up the schoolbag he had prepared and put it on his back. But before he could go out, he heard a soft sound. A light knock on the door.
After opening the door, he found Chu Xiao. Lu Rendong raised his head and glanced at him, then politely called him softly: "Uncle."
But when he was talking, his eyes fell on Shen Ruo who was standing behind Chu Xiao. The smile on his face became more obvious. Lu Rendong said: "Brother."
As he spoke, he gave up his position, but these two completely different titles made Chu Xiao frown and Shen Ruo was stunned for a moment.
Lu Rendong took the fruit from Chu Xiao's hand, and after putting it down, he wanted to pour some water.
Chu Xiao stopped him, lowered his voice and said, "No, just come and see how your stay is, say a few words and then leave."
Seeing that they didn't sit down, Lu Rendong had to give up. He was still carrying his schoolbag and didn't know whether to put it down.
"Are you going to work part-time?"
Shen Ruo had a small voice, a slight smile on his face, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with light like broken stars.
Lu Rendong looked up at him, looking away from those extremely beautiful eyes, and just nodded and said yes.
"Then, let's go out together and see you there by the way?" Shen Ruo suggested.
Elena is already asleep, so they shouldn't disturb the patient. Chu Xiao also told the hospital to take good care of her, so even if they leave, someone will come to take care of Elena later, so there is no need to worry too much. .
Seeing that they really didn't want to sit here and that his mother was asleep, Lu Rendong could only nod and the three of them walked out together.
Chu Xiao flew the aircraft. Today, Saturday, after lunch, he and Shen Ruo came over to see Elena and bought some fruit.
After asking Lu Rendong's destination, Chu Xiao put on sunglasses, covering most of his handsome face. His delicate profile was tense, looking cold and hard, as if he was a little angry. He didn't say anything, but he was lifted into the air. The atmosphere in the aircraft was not very good.
"If you work part-time, will it affect your studies?"
Shen Ruo ignored him and knew why Chu Xiao was unhappy, because he was sitting in the back with Lu Rendong, and before coming here, Chu Xiao told him to stay away from Lu Rendong.
During the time they got together, Shen Ruo knew that Chu Xiao was jealous when he behaved this way, but Lu Rendong was still his own junior, so he wouldn't act jealous like a child.
Shen Ruo thought so in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.
"No, it just takes up non-class time."
Lu Rendong smiled a little shyly. He was pretty and looked even better when he smiled, which made Shen Ruo, who was looking at him, smile a little wider.
After hesitation, Lu Rendong lowered his voice and looked away, as if he was a little embarrassed. He said, "I completed my homework before school."
That cautious tone seemed to want to say that I was very good and I didn't need to worry so much. There was also a kind of careful pride in it, and the subtext of asking for praise was a bit obvious.
So after hearing this, Shen Ruo subconsciously praised him: "It's really amazing."
After the young demi-human was praised, his cheeks turned slightly red. He glanced at Shen Ruo, his back straightened a little as he sat there, and there was an uncontrollable smile on his beautiful face.
Seeing him so happy, Shen Ruo also smiled, thinking that he was really a child.
In fact, he was only three years older than Lu Rendong, but because he had taken care of Shen Yi and Shen Hong, he subconsciously regarded the skinny Lu Rendong as a child.
"What is your part-time job this time?"
Shen Ruo, who pretended not to know anything, asked, his voice sounded gentle and he used a modal word.
This made Chu Xiao in front of him even more unhappy. He just heard Shen Ruo praising others and asking questions in such a soft voice.
The aircraft suddenly rushed forward at a frightening speed. Shen Ruo, who was unprepared, was startled. Fortunately, he had a seat belt, otherwise it would have been a disaster.
From the back, only the side of Chu Xiao's face could be seen, which was blocked by sunglasses. Shen Ruo was helpless, but it was difficult to ask him because Lu Rendong was there.
"Tutor, teaching third grade students."
Lu Rendong was also frightened just now. After finding out that there was no danger, he answered Shen Ruo's question.
Shen Ruo nodded and said that this part-time job was good. In fact, he had known that Lu Rendong was doing this part-time job for a long time, and in a month, he would meet the protagonist Gong on the way back from his part-time job. That was their first encounter.
One of the reasons for coming to see Elena today, and the other is to confirm whether Lu Rendong is doing this part-time job, and to ensure that he can continue doing it so that he can meet the protagonist Gong. This is a very important point in the plot. .
The place where Lu Rendong worked part-time soon arrived. Of course, this was thanks to Chu Xiao who drove the aircraft very fast.
"Goodbye uncle, goodbye brother."
The polite and well-behaved Lu Rendong said goodbye to Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao after getting off the aircraft, but his name once again made Chu Xiao unhappy, so he took off his sunglasses.
"It's not my brother, it's my uncle. He is my true king, and I will also call him uncle from now on."
Chu Xiao spoke, but when Shen Ruo pulled his sleeve, his tone slowed down a lot, at least it wasn't cold.
Lu Rendong, who was about to turn around, hesitated and became awkward. Shen Ruo quickly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a title. Don't be afraid. He just looks cold and lifeless."
"Right?" Shen Ruo said this to Chu Xiao. He looked up as he spoke.
Chu Xiao, who was full of aggrievedness, could only smile at Lu Rendong in his obviously soft eyes, indicating that he was not angry as Shen Ruo said.
"Just remember to call uncle. Someone will pick you up and take you back to the hospital after you finish your extra lessons." Chu Xiao's voice finally became much gentler, which made the cramped Lu Rendong feel relieved.
"Goodbye, Uncle Shen Ruo."
This sentence sounded extremely awkward to Shen Ruo. No brother really liked it, but he could only wave to Lu Rendong to say goodbye.
Lu Rendong's figure disappeared after entering the community. Shen Ruo subconsciously looked at Chu Xiao, but met the eyes of the man who looked unhappy.
Just now, he forced Chu Xiao to say that he was not angry, and Shen Ruo felt a little guilty. However, Lu Rendong was still a child, and Chu Xiao was too unselfconscious about being an uncle to be angry with him.
"I told you not to get too close, but you want me to deal with you again."
The deep voice was full of threats. Whether it was the first time he met Lu Rendong or after experiencing the system, Chu Xiao subconsciously did not want Shen Ruo to get close to Lu Rendong, even if the other person was his relative.
However, Shen Ruo was not as afraid of him as before. She raised her face and smiled, her eyes were soft, and she reached out to pull Chu Xiao's sleeves, obviously trying to please him.
The cold expression didn't last long. Chu Xiao held Shen Ruo's hand with his backhand, squeezed his palm, and said in a low voice: "I'll take care of you when I get back."
The threat just now was nothing. This whisper that was close to talking to himself made Shen Ruo immediately feel a sense of crisis, but he could only follow Chu Xiao on the aircraft and go back.
