Chapter 53

Little Duoduo became a frequent visitor to the Jiang family. When Pei Muyang was tutoring Gu Youran, he would also teach Duoduo some knowledge.

Pei Muyang discovered that Duoduo was an extremely smart child. He could learn a lot of first-grade knowledge in one go. Moreover, after auditing the knowledge points that he had originally taught to Gu Youran, he would remember them all.

Apart from his lisp, he is simply a little genius.

But apart from that, Duoduo is still a foodie and monopolizes all the snacks for the three of them.

Although the Jiang family's snacks are not limited, if he is allowed to eat them so unscrupulously, this kid will sooner or later grow up to be Baymax in "Big Hero 6".

So Pei Muyang took the tutoring money, cared about her as a mother, and even took the initiative to pay for the two little ones' dinner.

Pei Muyang's cooking skills have improved through practice.

In the past, he had no chance to cook at home. Since something happened at home and he couldn't afford a housekeeper, Pei Muyang taught himself by watching videos. In the beginning, he could even burn the pan when frying an egg, but later he could cook simple home-cooked meals without any problem.

Pei Muyang felt that he was just a chef who was delayed by delivering takeout.

Of course, this is just what he thinks.

Later, Jiang Chengyi found out about this, and there was one more person eating for free at home.

As long as he has no social engagements, Jiang Chengyi will sit at the dining table on time, like an oversized baby crying for food.

Pei Muyang had no objection to this. After all, his salary was higher than others. He felt unworthy of the money he received as a mascot. With the addition of a nanny job, it could make up for the guilt in his heart.

Pei Muyang doesn't like to owe favors to others, and it has been like this from the beginning to the end.

Today I made pork ribs with preserved plums. The sour and sweet taste is very appetizing, especially suitable for the taste of two little ones.

Jiang Chengyi watched eagerly as Pei Muyang divided a portion of pork ribs equally between the two little ones.

Not a single piece was left for him.

He looked at the soup dripping from the plate with hatred, and wanted to grab it to mix with rice, but he was the boss and the uncle, so he didn't want to do such a cheap thing.

It's okay to do it once in a while...

Just as he was convincing himself and preparing to grab the food, he saw Pei Muyang bringing another plate from the side.

Inside, there was a boiled fish.

Jiang Chengyi looked at the boiled fish in front of him. The red peppers were obviously not for children. Could it be that...

He stood there for a moment, his eyes full of joy.

"You don't like it?" Pei Muyang frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "I thought you could eat spicy food. Am I wrong?"

"Of course not, but did you make this boiled fish especially for me?"

"What else?" Pei Muyang couldn't help laughing. "I can only cook home-cooked dishes. They're a bit simple for a domineering president. It's normal that you can't get used to them."

"No." How could Jiang Chengyi dislike it?

He's just so happy, okay?

Fireworks bloom in my mind, and the air is filled with spinning and jumping little people.

"What a coincidence! This is my favorite dish. Thank you."

The four of them enjoyed the dinner in a pleasant atmosphere. After the meal, Pei Muyang wanted to send Duoduo home for a walk.

Gu Youran was about to leave, and Jiang Chengyi pretended to hang around for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help it and found a lame excuse to follow the adult and two children.

The four of them walked slowly in the afterglow of the sunset like a family. The two children were jumping around, and the young boy and the tall man were walking side by side behind them.

The years are quiet and peaceful, like the long river of life.

"Look at the two of them, they're having a great time."

It's rare that Gu Youran can be so patient in coaxing Xiao Duoduo, not minding his slurred speech, and even patiently helping him correct his bad habit of sucking his fingers.

"If we can grow up together, it would be a rare fate."

"By the way, I also had a childhood friend." Pei Muyang's tone suddenly changed, as if he was recalling some unforgettable past, and a bright smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of his lips.

But Jiang Chengyi's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously: "Childhood friend? What childhood friend?"

It is said that childhood sweethearts and the friendship of youth are the most unforgettable. If Pei Muyang really has such a friend in his life who accompanies him through his youth, then he will definitely become an irreplaceable existence in the boy's heart.

He had to be on guard.

"He was also my neighbor, a year older than me. His name was Lele. When we were little, we always played together, ate from the same pot and slept in the same bed. When we played house with girls, I was the father and he was the mother."

When Pei Muyang was a child, his neighbors couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard about him.

At the age of three, he would run around the neighborhood chasing the neighbor's unleashed dog. At the age of five, he could pluck all the feathers from the parrot raised by the old man who littered next door. By the age of eight, he had learned how to pull out the valve cores of the man who beat his wife.

In short, he is good at everything that a naughty child can do.

Of course, behind everything he does, he has a little follower who supports him infinitely, Lele, Yu Jiale.

When Lele was a child, he looked very much like Duoduo now. He was so chubby that he couldn’t even run. He could only stay behind to cover Pei Muyang.

But the child was really loyal. No matter how many times he was caught by adults, he never betrayed Pei Muyang on his own initiative.

Unless he couldn't bear the beating and called himself a bald mouth, how could Yu Jiale do such a thing as betraying his brothers?

Pei Muyang: “…”

He will really thank you!

The two played together as brothers for eight years until the Yu family moved abroad and they lost contact.

Of course, Jiang Chengyi didn't know all this.

All he heard was that the boy had a very good childhood friend, and the two of them had even slept in the same bed.

They actually slept in the same bed!

How could he tolerate this?

Jiang Chengyi clenched his fists tightly with veins bulging. He took a sudden step forward, put his hands on Pei Muyang's shoulders, and said with a gloomy face: "Pei Muyang, do you have any feelings in your heart..."

The cell phone rang at this moment, interrupting what Jiang Chengyi was about to say.

Pei Muyang took out his cell phone and saw that it was Ye Shan calling, so he picked up the phone.

"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"

"Yangyang, something's wrong. Your father is in a bad condition. Come here quickly!"

A familiar voice entered my ears through the receiver of the mobile phone, forming a spell that kept circling in my mind.

The buzzing sound penetrated his nerves and entered his ears, absorbing all of Pei Muyang's thinking ability. He was stunned and seemed to have lost the ability to perceive the surrounding situation.

He tried hard to adjust his center of gravity, but he still felt his body falling backwards uncontrollably. Just when he thought he was about to fall to the ground...

"Yangyang!"

The slender arm held him firmly in his embrace, and the other hand pressed the back of his head, allowing him to lean steadily on the broad and strong chest.

His consciousness finally returned slowly at this moment. He heard a familiar voice calling his name. The voice was like salvation from the void. He was finally able to distinguish the things around him and see Jiang Chengyi's nervous and panicked expression.

"Yangyang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"Take...Take me to the hospital."

"Okay, Yangyang, hold on, I'll take you there right away."

Jiang Chengyi didn't have time to think about it. He picked up Pei Muyang, who had no strength to walk, and turned to tell Gu Youran to go home by himself. There was a nanny taking care of him at home, so he didn't need to worry. But the little guy was very worried about Pei Muyang's condition. He wanted to go with him, but he didn't dare to raise any objections due to his uncle's authority.

"Uncle, you must take good care of Teacher Pei." Gu Youran trotted along behind him, shouting, "Teacher isn't doing well. If anything happens, you must call me. I'm so worried!"

The little guy's voice stopped abruptly in front of the garage.

Jiang Chengyi gently placed Pei Muyang in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt. Without waiting for the driver, he sat in the driver's seat himself.

The roar of Koenigsegg sounded in an instant. Jiang Chengyi's driving skills were actually very average, but at this moment he increased the speed from zero to the extreme.

The supercar rushed out of the Jiang family's garage, leaving Gu Youran alone staring blankly at the rear of the car.

Did my uncle take the wrong medicine? Didn’t he love this car so much that he wouldn’t even let me move it?

Why did he drive away without caring about anything and conspicuous himself when he saw that Teacher Pei was in trouble?

When Jiang Chengyi and his men rushed to the hospital, the lights in the operating room had already been on. Ye Shan said that everything was normal today. She chatted with Pei Yu for more than an hour and helped Pei Yu wash his body with the help of the nurse.

But for some reason, the alarm of the instrument suddenly sounded, and when the doctor on duty rushed into the ward, the wavy line representing life almost became a straight line.

Ye Shan hurriedly cooperated with Dr. Wang to send Pei Yu into the operating room, and only then did she have time to call Pei Muyang.

Jiang Chengyi understood the situation and immediately called Zhou Yue. The neurologist he had been looking for for a long time happened to arrive in City A this morning.

I had originally planned to find a reason to arrange for him to be admitted to the hospital where Pei Yu was after today, but I didn't expect that there was not enough time, so I had to call him over to help with the operation.

Only after arranging a doctor did he have time to take care of Pei Muyang.

At this time, the boy was leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the door of the operating room.

Jiang Chengyi walked over and stood there side by side with him, but in his eyes, he could only see the figure of one person.

"Brother Yi, tell me, am I going to lose my father?"

He had finally helped Lao Pei clarify the truth, why would he give up on himself?

It is said that there are countless regrets in the world, and when a child wants to support his parents but they are no longer around, isn’t this one of the most hurtful regrets?

Pei Muyang's eyes were red and tears welled up in his moist eyes, but the tear was firmly trapped in his eyes.

Appearing fragile yet stubborn.

"Yangyang, don't cry. The best neurologist in City A is on the way. I won't let anything happen to your father."

Jiang Chengyi wrapped Pei Muyang's cold hands with his hands out of heartache. He comforted the boy helplessly, trying to make him feel better.

"You're talking nonsense. I'm not crying. Look, my eyes are dry. How could I cry?"

As he said this, as if to prove that he was not lying, he forced the corners of his lips to force out an ugly smile.

Even so, the smile was fleeting, and soon, a mournful expression occupied the boy's originally sunny face.

"It's just that I really regret it. Why didn't I listen to him before?"

"Yangyang, listen to me. I will do my best to save your uncle, but you have to be strong. You have to trust your uncle and me. Let's work together to make this terrible nightmare pass as soon as possible."

"Okay?"

Jiang Chengyi half-knelt in front of Pei Muyang, like a mortal begging for mercy from the gods.

But Pei Muyang knew that Jiang Chengyi was the omnipotent god.

He couldn't help but believe him and was willing to give him all his trust, as if he had met someone he could trust with his life.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Muyang finally nodded in response to Jiang Chengyi's plea, which was almost in tears. He looked at the stars outside the window bitterly, as if he had found a little hope that could illuminate the world.

He shook Jiang Chengyi's hand and couldn't help but reply according to his heart.

"good."

I believe in you, just as you trust me, and I believe unconditionally every word you say.

Jiang Chengyi, I really believe in you.
