Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Being kissed.
Zhang Canyang's condition is not serious, but because of a head injury, he needs to be hospitalized for a few days for observation.
Li Huanhuan accompanied him for the examination and then helped him arrange for hospitalization. I went to a supermarket near the hospital and bought him some simple daily necessities, such as towels, toothbrushes, etc.
By the time we finished all this, it was already evening.
Zhang Canyang was staying in a double room, and his roommate in the same ward was being wheeled downstairs to eat. Li Huanhuan did not go downstairs, but ordered takeout for Zhang Canyang, which was on the way.
At this moment, there were only Li Huanhuan and Zhang Canyang left in the ward.
As the sun sets, its afterglow shines through the window glass, leaving a streak of light on the floor of the ward.
Just now, the police came to the ward to take a statement. Li also heard some auditory hallucinations, but didn't understand them. Now, I am about to ask Zhang Canyang.
"It's nothing, actually."
Zhang Canyang had gauze wrapped around his head. She lifted the head of the bed and he sat leaning against the bed, looking at Li Huanhuan with an embarrassed expression. It seems that he doesn't want to say it.
However, Li Huanhuan was very persistent this time.
Zhang Canyang had no choice but to simply explain what had happened.
Actually, it is very simple. Zhang Canyang was discovered by his coach Cao Xufang. At that time, Zhang Canyang was not yet an adult. Cao Xufang discovered Zhang Canyang's talent in an e-sports competition in Country M and persuaded his guardian to bring him back to China and sign him with Coldplay.
It can be said that all of Zhang Canyang’s affairs after returning to China, whether official or private, were handled by Cao Xufang.
He doesn't care much about those things, money, fame?
For a long time, he knew that Cao Xufang was embezzling his competition prize money and endorsement fees. However, he never stopped.
Perhaps, he was just thanking Cao Xufang for pulling him out of the quagmire, allowing his life, which was supposed to be self-destructive, to find a new goal.
But who would have thought that Cao Xufang's appetite was growing bigger and bigger. Especially in the past two years, he actually became fond of gambling, and the money he lost was increasing. If the gap cannot be filled, we can only start with Zhang Canyang. Before, he even tried to persuade Zhang Canyang to play a fake game to help him make money.
Rejected by Zhang Canyang.
Then, Cao Xufang secretly found other people in the team. Later, when the game was lost, everyone thought it was Zhang Canyang's fault, thinking that he did not have the right mindset and did not take the game seriously.
Zhang Canyang knew that it was Cao Xufang who was behind this.
But he didn't bother to explain.
In other words, given the way "Fox" behaves in the league, no one would believe that he is innocent. He is arrogant, flamboyant, and has no respect for the game, which seems to be the norm.
He just wanted to play the game.
As for the people around him, will they like him? He doesn't care at all.
What followed was a long period of suspension.
Because of the suspension, Zhang Canyang lost several endorsements and Cao Xufang's income also decreased. Just last week, the debt collectors came again. Cao Xufang took away the last money Zhang Canyang had and ran away. The debt collectors couldn't find Cao Xufang, so they went to Zhang Canyang.
He had been targeted by the other side for some time.
I haven't been out recently. Because today is his 24th birthday, he made a dinner appointment with Li Huanhuan. We picked several places and deliberately avoided areas where that group of people often moved around, but we didn't expect to be found by their people anyway.
After Li Huanhuan chased Qin Shi away, the group of people appeared.
However, all of this was too complicated, and Zhang Canyang didn't want to tell Li Huanhuan, so he simply told her some of the things that wouldn't make her worry.
"Sister, I'm fine. I was just implicated by the coach. I believe that after this incident, they also know that I have no money and Cao Xufang doesn't care about me. He will not show up even if you beat me to death. It's a pure waste of time for me, so they won't bother me again." Zhang Canyang smiled and said to Li Huanhuan.
Even when encountering such a thing, he still looked very happy, without any gloom in his eyes.
"What about Cao Xufang? After he treated you like that, don't you plan to take the money back?" Li Huanhuan frowned, not quite agreeing.
Even if the other party cannot pay him back for the time being, he still has to show his attitude.
"Him." Zhang Canyang narrowed his light-colored eyes slightly. "I have already told the police that he took my money."
He didn't care at first.
He didn't even care when Cao Xufang stole all the money in his bank card. But the trouble caused by Cao Xufang almost involved my sister.
Today, if my sister hadn't chased Star away, I would probably have been implicated as well.
His life was already bad enough, like a quagmire that exuded a rotten smell, and he was stuck in it with both feet, sinking deeper and deeper, with no day of revival. He didn't care whether he was stuck in the quagmire or whether there was still hope for the future, but he didn't want his sister to see this terrible side.
This made him very angry.
Why should even the last bit of his dignity be torn away?
"He deserves to die." Zhang Canyang gritted his teeth.
Li Huanhuan felt inexplicably distressed when he saw him like this. After thinking for a while, she raised her hand and patted his shoulder soothingly: "It will be fine."
"Sister." Zhang Canyang put his head on her shoulder.
Li Huanhuan froze all over and wanted to push him away. However, his voice sounded so fragile that Li Huanhuan couldn't refuse.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Canyang finally let go of her shoulders, raised his head, and looked at Li Huanhuan's frowned brows because she was worried about him.
"Sister, don't frown. You won't be beautiful if you frown all the time." He raised his hand and pressed it between Li Huanhuan's eyebrows, his eyes stubborn.
Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then his frown slowly relaxed: "Okay, then you have to be strong too, and take good care of yourself."
The Canyang she was familiar with seemed to be back.
The takeaway called, and Li Huanhuan went to the door to pick up their dinner for tonight. Returning to the ward, I opened the table on the bed and placed dinner on it.
She sat at the end of the bed, Zhang Canyang sat at the head of the bed, and started eating.
"It's not very delicious." Zhang Canyang took a bite.
He said this, but his actions did not stop.
"Then get well soon. I'll treat you to a big dinner after you're discharged from the hospital." Li Huanhuan said.
"This is what my sister said. Don't go back on your word!" Zhang Canyang.
"Of course." Li Huanhuan.
Then, she remembered the "guardian" in Country M that Canyang mentioned just now.
Then he asked:
"Why did you say, 'guardian in Country M'? Wasn't your guardian at the time your mother?"
Zhang Canyang paused while eating, then said calmly: "Not long after my mother took me to Country M, she passed away."
ah?
Li Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly apologized: "Sorry, Canyang. I shouldn't have mentioned that."
Zhang Canyang smiled at her gently: "It's okay. There's nothing you can't tell me about what happened later."
Zhang Canyang told Li Huanhuan that after his alcoholic and domestic violence father died unexpectedly, he and his mother moved out of their original residence. They moved to a new city and her mother met his future stepfather. Two years after the marriage, my stepfather had to go abroad for work. So his mother took him to Country M.
After living in Country M for a few years, when Zhang Canyang was about 10 years old, his mother died of illness. He was not an adult at the time and according to the law he lived with his stepfather.
Zhang Canyang lived with his stepfather for two years, and his stepfather started a new family.
"A new family?" Li Huanhuan frowned and looked at him.
Zhang Canyang did not mention how his stepfather treated him? But just from his description, Li Huanhuan could understand the despair of a single-parent family.
In particular, Zhang Canyang was only 12 years old when his stepfather remarried.
A 12-year-old boy, whose biological parents have passed away and who is now overseas...
Perhaps only he himself knows the sadness inside, no one else can understand it.
"Sister, don't worry about me."
Zhang Canyang saw the worry in Li Huanhuan's eyes and comforted her in return, "Actually, after my mother passed away, my stepfather treated me very well. However, he is a man and is busy with work all year round. He has no time to take care of me. That's why I wanted to start a new family."
What Zhang Canyang didn't say was that his stepfather decided to remarry after returning from a long business trip and discovered that the nanny at home was abusing him. She no longer dared to leave him alone at home, and began to plan to remarry.
"What happened next? Was your stepfather's new wife good to you?" Li Huanhuan asked.
"It's neither good nor bad."
Zhang Canyang smiled at her and said, "She also has a child and focuses most of her energy on her child. But this is a good thing for me."
After all, he is not his stepfather's biological child, and his status in the family is awkward.
It was actually a good thing for him that the new lady of the house ignored him and didn't pay too much attention to him. At least, a delicate balance can be maintained between them.
“I see.”
Li Huanhuan nodded thoughtfully, "Then why did you follow Cao Xufang back to China?"
With Zhang Canyang's talent, he will have good development if he stays in Country M.
Zhang Canyang paused for a moment and said, "Because my stepfather passed away."
"What?" Li Huanhuan looked at him worriedly.
Zhang Canyang shook his head and looked at the chopsticks in his hand: "He fell into a scam, was betrayed by his business partners, and died on the high seas."
After his stepfather died, Zhang Canyang’s last connection in Country M was also cut off.
Like a rootless duckweed, I always had no place to rest deep in my heart, and that period of time passed in a daze. Just when he was about to fall into the quagmire, Cao Xufang appeared.
He could tell at a glance that Cao Xufang was not a good person. But at that time he urgently needed a support, a support that could help him escape from the quagmire, even if it was just a poisonous feather.
Return to China?
Cao Xufang gave him another choice.
He remembered the "Circle Sister" he met when he was young, the person who was like an angel and could fulfill his wishes. So, Zhang Canyang came back.
"It's okay, sister. It's over." Zhang Canyang pulled himself out of his memories, looked up and smiled at her.
But at this moment, Li Huanhuan couldn't laugh at all.
The patient in the same ward came back.
Li Huanhuan stayed with Zhang Canyang until 10 o'clock in the evening.
"You really don't need me to accompany you?" she asked.
"No thanks, sister."
Zhang Canyang smiled and shook his head. "I can't sleep well in the hospital. I can't bear to let my sister worry about me. If my sister really wants to make it up to me, then when you come tomorrow, bring me pineapple pizza."
"Pineapple pizza?" she wondered.
"That's right. I heard it's scary, I want to try it." Zhang Canyang snapped his fingers.
Li Huanhuan left only after watching Zhang Canyang wash up.
She went downstairs to the inpatient department, found a bank ATM, and withdrew a stack of money. Then, he turned around and went back to Zhang Canyang's ward. The ward was very quiet. Zhang Canyang lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, looking like he had fallen asleep.
The middle curtain was drawn, so he couldn't see the patient in the bed next to him, who was probably asleep as well.
Li Huanhuan tiptoed to the head of Zhang Canyang's bed and quietly stuffed the stack of money he had just taken out of the ATM under Zhang Canyang's pillow.
All the money in his bank card had been withdrawn by Cao Xufang, and he didn't have much money on him now. He hoped that this little money could temporarily help him get through the difficult times.
“Huh~”
Li Huanhuan stared at Zhang Canyang's sleeping face for a while before turning around and leaving.
Back to the downstairs of the inpatient department.
I opened my backpack and was about to call a taxi when I saw a key.
"Car keys?" Li Huanhuan then remembered that she had parked Qin Shi's car in the hospital parking lot.
Qin Dynasty...
Thinking of this, Qin Shi’s hurt look appeared in her mind.
During the day, she was worried about Canyang's injuries and angry about Qin Shi's concealment, so she spoke to him in a louder voice. I don’t know what happened to him later.
But it's so late, he should have gone to bed.
Li Huanhuan felt a little annoyed.
His leg injury had obviously healed a long time ago. If it weren’t for Canyang’s incident today, how long would he have kept it a secret from her? He thought it was fun to see her worrying about his foot injury and teasing her, right?
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Canyang was still in the hospital, and she was not in the mood to see him for the time being. I plan to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Canyang after he is discharged from the hospital.
Of course, the car still has to be returned first.
Li Huanhuan frowned, looked at the car keys in his hand, turned and walked towards the parking lot.
At this time, the parking lot was quiet and there was no one else in sight except her. The light inside was dim and the signal was not very good. Li Huanhuan recalled where he parked during the day and walked towards the corner.
drop.
She had just unlocked the door and was about to go in when a man suddenly jumped out from behind her, grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the car.
"Qin Shi?"
When she saw who it was, she was stunned.
The next second, I felt a soft touch on my lips.
