Chapter 27

Only the big brother in the next bed couldn't fit into the world, but he was also happy. The big brother could feel that the atmosphere in the Wei family was very good, and the dishes cooked by Jiang Lin were really delicious, a thousand times better than the boxed meals in the hospital.

Normally, Jiang Lin would stay with Wei Mingzhe overnight, but now that Wei Ge is back, of course her mother needs to have a good rest.

Looking at Jiang Lin's sallow and thin face, Wei Mingzhe's heartache almost overflowed.

So when Wei Ge offered to stay with him in bed, Wei Mingzhe immediately joined in, saying that he missed his son and wanted his son to stay with him tonight.

Of course, guests cannot be forgotten in the arrangements. Wei Mingzhe told Xing Zhao to go back and rest early. The guest room in the house has not been touched since the last time Xing Zhao visited, so it will be Xing Zhao's room from now on.

Xing Zhao did not refuse. After all, he came by car. It was impossible for him to disturb the father and son from reminiscing about the past in the hospital, nor was it possible for him to let Jiang Lin go home alone.

Xing Zhao sent Jiang Lin downstairs and refused Jiang Lin's invitation to go upstairs with her.

He is a middle-aged man, and Jiang Lin is his sister-in-law. He knows which is more important. Although the Wei family knows about the relationship between the two, the neighbors' gossip and his personal upbringing do not allow him to be alone in a room with another woman.

He watched Jiang Lin walk into the apartment building, drive the car to the five-star hotel closest to the hospital, book a suite, and then go to the restaurant for a stroll.

He came in too haste last time, and Wei Ge's illness distracted him, so he didn't think of many things he should have thought of.

"Is the chef here five-star?" Xing Zhao called the manager over. The manager looked at Xing Zhao's temperament and attire and immediately turned him into a top customer.

"Yes, the chefs in our hotel have all participated in world competitions and won prizes." The manager smiled flatteringly at Xing Zhao. He must seize this kind of big client.

"Would you like the customized meal delivery service?" Xing Zhao asked as he took out his cell phone and sent a message to the Xing family's doctor. He sent the medical record of Wei Mingzhe that he had found earlier, asking the doctor to help customize a healthy meal and to prepare a nutritious meal for Jiang Lin.

"The hotel doesn't have this service." The manager looked apologetic, but the false tone in his words was very light, and it seemed that he didn't insist on his words.

"I'll pay a deposit of five million first, and the cost of ingredients and chefs will come from this money. I'll make up for the shortfall later." Xing Zhao took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the manager. There was no negotiation in his tone because he knew the other party would definitely agree.

If there is something he can't do, it means the money is not enough, just add more money.

"Okay, we will find the most professional nutritionist for you to prepare different meals for you. Please register at that time..." The manager immediately took out the POS machine and guided Xing Zhao to swipe the card without any sign of embarrassment.

"No need." Xing Zhao interrupted the manager. "I'll send you the recipes when the time comes. Just make sure the ingredients are of the right grade and clean. We have patients here, so everything needs to be top-notch. If there's not enough money, I can make up for it."

There is no need to worry about not having enough money. A down payment of five million can allow you to eat white truffle caviar every day for a while.

"Okay, come with me to register."

-

Wei Ge sat beside Wei Mingzhe's bed. It was completely dark outside the window. Leaning against the window, he could see the stars twinkling outside.

Wei Mingzhe suddenly asked, "How are your grades lately?"

Wei Ge turned around and said, "Dad, not many people study in college."

Moreover, Wei Ge is an art student and does not pay as much attention to academic subjects as to art subjects.

"College students also have to study and take final exams."

"Did you study Xi in college?" Wei Ge asked a fatal question.

Wei Mingzhe was silent for a moment, unable to lie, "I haven't learned it."

With a father who doesn't like studying, it's natural that the son won't be much better at studying. Wei Mingzhe knows that Wei Ge's academic performance must be average, and now he seems to be making small talk.

Or it's laying the groundwork for what you want to say next.

"Why don't you ask about my illness?" Wei Mingzhe looked at Wei Ge and asked. This question was a bit sudden, but not unexpected. "Didn't you ask the doctor about my condition?"

Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin's original intention was to hide their son's illness from him. Although Wei Ge is now an adult, he is still a child in the eyes of these two people.

There were some things they didn't want Wei Ge to handle, and they were afraid he couldn't handle it.

The last time Wei Ge left, the couple thought they had kept things a secret from each other. Wei Ge seemed to truly believe that Wei Mingzhe's illness was not serious, and there was no change in his mood.

But as soon as Wei Ge left, Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin realized that Wei Ge's calmness was all an act.

When the doctor came to see Wei Mingzhe, he praised Wei Ge for being sensible and well-behaved.

Only then did Wei Mingzhe realize that Wei Ge had long known how serious his illness was, how high his mortality rate was, and how much pain he had endured these days.

I always thought that they took on everything and kept it a secret so that Wei Ge wouldn't worry.

But in fact, it was Wei Ge who was acting with them. Wei Ge knew everything a long time ago, but pretended not to know.

"That's all I need to know." Wei Ge stood up and poured Wei Mingzhe some water. His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something very simple. "Besides, it's not necessarily incurable. Just get your treatment. When you recover, I'll take you to Lushui to visit my school."

Wei Ge stuffed a cup of warm water into Wei Mingzhe's hand. Wei Mingzhe's hand trembled and he didn't respond.

If he thought the operation might be successful at the beginning, he has gradually lost hope in life these days. He knows his own body well, and all the cells and bone marrow seem to be giving him feedback that he can't hold on.

These days he often woke up from nightmares due to severe body pain, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Jiang Lin hadn't slept well for a long time and she looked much older.

This was not the life he wanted for her.

She should be happy, beautiful, and carefree. When we got married, he said he would make her the happiest woman in the world. But happiness shouldn't be like this now.

He had hinted to Jiang Lin several times that she should give up treatment. If she continued to be treated day and night, Jiang Lin's body would not be able to bear it, even though she had said countless times that she would share the joys and sorrows with him.

But Wei Mingzhe didn't want him to share his suffering.

"Weiwei." Wei Mingzhe called Wei Ge's name softly. He just looked at Wei Ge with red eyes.

Wei Ge had never seen this kind of expression in his father's eyes. His heart twitched violently as he saw that the once high-spirited Wei Mingzhe now looked like a dead grass, and Jiang Lin too, like a withered flower.

Their family shouldn't be like this.

He had not been with them these days, but had been secretly hiding in Xing Zhao's house and had fallen seriously ill, enjoying everyone's care.

He is so lazy.

"You've really grown up. I used to think you were still a child. I was worried about you on the day you went to school, so I asked Xing Zhao to pick you up." Wei Mingzhe lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. "But in fact, you have been able to stand on your own for a long time. I shouldn't have worried so much."

"If you don't want to live in Xing Zhao's house, you can move out when you go back this time. College life is really wonderful. I can still remember the campus romance your mother and I had."

As Wei Mingzhe was talking, the topic changed and he started to ramble on and on about their affection. Wei Ge just listened. Although Wei Mingzhe also loved to nag in the past, Wei Ge actually didn't like to listen to Wei Mingzhe.

He always said that he would talk endlessly on one topic, but this time Wei Ge listened very carefully. He probably felt that if he didn't listen this time, he would never have the chance to hear Wei Mingzhe talk so much in the future.

Wei Mingzhe talked about his first meeting with Jiang Lin, their marriage, how poor his academic performance was in graduate school, and then talked about Xing Zhao.

Wei Ge just listened, but he was not the only one listening, there was also the older brother in the bed next to him.

Also, Xing Zhao was standing at the door.

He has been here for a long time and couldn't sleep in the hotel. He was a little worried about Wei Ge. Although he looked strong on the surface, he was sadder than anyone else about Wei Mingzhe's affairs.

He was afraid that Wei Ge would have no shoulder to lean on when he was sad, so he came.

From the moment Wei Mingzhe said, "If you want to live back in school, move out of Xing Zhao's house," the person involved was already standing at the door.

He just stood there quietly, wanting to hear what Wei Ge would say, but he didn't expect Wei Ge to not answer.

Wei Ge may want to go back to school. No college student wants to live with his parents when he just gains freedom.

Xing Zhao must be Wei Ge's parent. He calls him uncle, so naturally there is a generation difference between them.

But he didn't expect Wei Ge to say, "Dad, Uncle Xing is very kind to me and takes good care of me. I'm used to living with him."

Xing Zhao looked up with a hint of surprise and listened to Wei Ge say, "Dad, don't worry, I'm living well there."

Wei Ge's voice echoed in Xing Zhao's ears. Even the man himself didn't notice the smile on his lips. Xing Zhao walked out, leaving this space to the father and son again.

Wei Mingzhe in the room glanced at his elder brother who was sleeping beside him, and subconsciously lowered his voice, as if he was about to say something in private between father and son.

"Weiwei, you've been in school for so long. Have you met someone you like in school?"

Wei Ge was stunned for a moment. It was true that he had been at school for a long time, but the students at school were mostly just casual acquaintances. The seniors in his dormitory were all very concerned about him, but Wei Mingzhe was probably asking about the opposite sex.

He doesn't have any good friends of the opposite sex at school, and he doesn't like the opposite sex either.

I like and have feelings for someone...

Xing Zhao's face subconsciously appeared in Wei Ge's mind, and then his face suddenly turned red. Wei Mingzhe seemed to realize that something was wrong with his son.

"Do you have someone you like?"

"No." Wei Ge was inexplicably nervous. After all, he probably couldn't tell his father about the person he liked.

Wei Mingzhe stared at Wei Ge's expression for two minutes, then suddenly spoke: "Weiwei, no matter who you like, Dad will support you."

Wei Ge looked up at Wei Mingzhe, thinking that this was just a casual remark made by an ordinary open-minded father.

But Wei Mingzhe added, "No matter your gender or age, Dad supports you."

Wei Mingzhe's eyes were like a lake that could see through all secrets. When he stared at Wei Ge, Wei Ge felt that all his secrets were seen through.

Whether it is his orientation, his hobbies, or the fact that he likes Xing Zhao.

Whether he said it out loud or not, he felt that Wei Mingzhe might have discovered it a long time ago.
