Until the dinner party ended, Qi Yan was still in a state of hesitation.
"You reacted very quickly today!" After Zeng Yang and Zeng Xinrou left, Lao Qi patted Qi Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, you have the smart handling style I used to have!"
Qi Yan lowered his head, his expression unclear, and he didn't say a word.
Lao Qi thought it was Qi Yan who was expressing his dissatisfaction with today's incident, so he stood up and beckoned him out without any explanation.
Qi Yan stood up, made way for Lao Qi, and followed him silently.
Lao Qi seemed to feel that what happened today was his fault, but he didn't bother to explain when faced with such a dumb kid who kept silent and just kept silent. The stinking stones in the latrine are smelly and hard. The more you explain, the more you will get into trouble.
There was silence all the way until Uncle Wang's car stopped in front of him. Lao Qi got on and kept the door open waiting for Qi Yan to get in the car too.
But facing the open car door, Qi Yan couldn't open his heart... He was really depressed. Maybe it would be better if he talked to someone, or maybe he could go somewhere to relax and think more openly.
Where did he find the courage to run away without looking back, ignoring the shouts of Lao Qi and Uncle Wang behind him, and plunged into one direction without stopping.
Qi Yan did just that. He didn't know which direction he chose. Maybe he chose it secretly, or maybe he just chose randomly.
When he arrived at the door of Jing Ranxiu Medical Center, he was finally exhausted and sat on the steps outside the door, breathing heavily.
Feeling as if he had a place to belong, Qi Yan put his hands on his knees and lowered them casually.
Today Qi Yan wore a suit. Well, a super handsome one. It was not the old-fashioned suit, but the most popular young man's suit. At least it made him look very handsome despite his good foundation. .
A handsome young man was sitting at the door of the medical center, causing several passers-by to cast unclear glances. After a while, someone came out of the medical center. She called out to Qi Yan twice. After receiving no response, she walked around and saw After Qi Yan's appearance, his face was startled and he quickly ran back to the medical center. After a while, Jing Ranxiu came out.
Seeing Qi Yan's bright but extremely embarrassed appearance, Jing Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over and tried to pull him up by his arm.
But Qi Yan didn't react.
Jing Ranxiu frowned: "What are you doing and what are you making a fuss about?"
Qi Yan said nothing, but his appearance was somewhat similar to the way he used to make trouble, such as when he first came to the medical center and cursed Jing Ranxiu as a scumbag and a scumbag...
Thinking that the relationship between the two had eased, Jing Ranxiu sighed softly and knelt down in front of him.
"Look up." As he said that, he pinched Qi Yan's chin and forced him to raise his head.
When she saw his face, Jing Ranxiu was stunned.
Tears were intertwined, and tears kept welling up in the dazed eyes, but those flooded eyes screamed helplessness and helplessness.
Qi Yan's soul seemed to be mourning.
Jing Ranxiu's heart felt a dull pain. He placed his hand against Qi Yan's cheek and gently wiped away his tears with his thumb.
"Why are you crying? You're so stupid."
"My Father… "
As soon as Qi Yan opened his mouth, Jing Ranxiu knew what he was going to say next.
"What nonsense did you hear?" Jing Ranxiu pulled Qi Yan up, held his shoulders and made him look directly into his eyes: "You heard something strange outside and came to me crying? It seems that you I forgot that there is nothing else here besides me.”
"I didn't listen..." Qi Yan was particularly helpless. He couldn't stop crying: "Really, um, it's true... What should I do..."
Jing Ranxiu knew from the look on his face that it probably couldn't be hidden with just a few threatening words.
The person who revealed this matter to Qi Yan was heartbroken, but his face was as calm as a clear water.
"So, you are crying here without being sure?" Jing Ranxiu put his hand back into his pocket and took out a handkerchief: "Wipe your tears and come in with me. Don't be embarrassed here."
After saying that, Jing Ranxiu walked towards the medical center.
[The male protagonist’s favorability towards Qi Yan is +5, current favorability: 55]
In the office, Jing Ranxiu canceled the afternoon appointment, poured a glass of warm water for Qi Yan, and watched him shed tears while wiping them away.
A little bully who was so angry at nothing was crying like a child in front of him, and Jing Ranxiu also sighed in his heart.
If something like this happens... there's nothing we can do about it.
At this moment, Jing Ranxiu had already placed himself in the position of 'eldest brother, like father'. To put it bluntly, if something happens to Lao Qi one day, he and Jing's mother are not the kind of merciless people. If Qi Yan is left alone with a child, even if he wants to let go, Jing's mother will have to deal with it. Take Qi Yan with you every day.
"Okay, don't cry. The matter hasn't been fully verified yet, so you're just here crying and howling. What does it look like?"
Qi Yan felt a little comforted in his heart. When he said this, his eyes that were red from crying suddenly stared at him: "You knew this a long time ago?"
"...by chance." Jing Ranxiu said calmly: "Who did you hear what?"
After sniffing, Qi Yan slowly recounted today's experience and what Zeng Yang said.
"I wasn't familiar with Zeng Yang and Zeng Xinrou before, and I didn't know how close he and Lao Qi were, and whether they could be brothers. When he went to the bathroom, I paid more attention and followed him, and I heard He called others and said those words... "
"Although these words confirmed my suspicion that he had another purpose, the words 'Lao Qi is dying' were really like a bomb, which blew me away."
"What's going on? What do you know?"
Facing Qi Yan's swollen eyes, Jing Ranxiu touched his chin and said seriously: "Your father may have some kind of disease because he went to the hospital for regular check-ups when he was in the United States and was targeted by some people with malicious intentions. .”
"Some kind of disease?" Qi Yan felt a spark of hope in his heart: "In other words, it's not a serious disease, it's just some people's random speculation and nonsense?"
Jing Ranxiu nodded, and Qi Yan cheered, as if the poor crying person just now was not him.
With dark eyes, Jing Ranxiu rubbed his sleeves with his fingers. This was a reflex action he did when lying.
Chemotherapy... In a sense, it's cancer.
However, this knowledge cannot be known to Qi Yan for the time being. But it would be beneficial to let him know a little bit.
"So, do you want to go home and have a good talk with your father?"
"... Let's talk about it later." Qi Yan pursed his lips: "This kind of thing depends on opportunity!"
"I want to remind you that all parents gradually fade away as their children grow up."
If it's late, don't blame me for not reminding you.
