Chapter 27 Chapter 27 In the room...
The house clearly needs a major cleanup. If the old items are not moved out, there will be no way to put new items in.
Jin Man left decisively, but it was actually a bit funny. He was not a big shot, and apart from the pain he felt as if his cramps were cramping and his skin was being peeled off, to others, it was like a one-man show.
Most people would say that he is probably a fool. After the divorce, of course he wants to make his ex-husband suffer a lot, and it would be best if the whole family is in turmoil to feel comfortable.
But Lu Yanlin knew that Jin Man couldn't do it.
In this world, there are those who are impetuous and domineering, and there are also those who are quiet, not so clear-headed, and suffer a lot of losses as a result.
Love is illusory.
Jin Man, who is so ordinary and practical, actually wants it too.
Lu Yanlin didn't want to collect them one by one himself. He felt that it was unnecessary and would only add to his troubles. The things Jin Man bought were not expensive. He had tolerated him in the past only because he was his partner.
Now that he doesn't want anything, Lu Yanlin doesn't need to care.
He made an appointment with a housekeeping company the next day, asked them to change the things in the house, and went to work as usual.
At noon, Lu Yanlin went to see Lu Zhi, and Aunt Yu accompanied him to play in the small garden of the sanatorium.
The rows of weeping willows by the lake were swaying in the breeze. Lu Zhi sat at the end of the stairs, looking at the trees in the distance with no expression.
Aunt Yu asked him to swing, so he walked down the stairs and sat obediently on the swing chair with his two short legs hanging down.
Aunt Yu stood behind him holding his whale-shaped backpack and gave him a gentle push.
Lu Zhi's eyes widened, he smiled briefly, and nervously pulled the rope, looking back repeatedly, as if he was afraid of falling.
"Father."
When he saw Lu Yanlin, he froze in a daze, then suddenly jumped off the swing and ran towards him.
Lu Yanlin picked him up and felt much lighter.
Lu Zhi still had a fever-reducing patch on his forehead and looked pale. He asked him cautiously, "Father, are you here to take me home?"
Lu Yanlin said calmly: "In a few days."
It won’t be too late to go back after the house is cleaned up. Lu Zhi looked behind him and didn’t find another father. He had an uneasy premonition and wanted to ask, but he always felt that his father would not tell the truth.
Yan Qiong, wearing a silk scarf, walked over gracefully, holding a box of snacks in her hand, coaxing Lu Zhi to eat.
Lu Yanlin glanced at the box: "He can't eat anything too sweet, it will make him cough."
Yan Qiong didn't know this. Children all like sweet things. But Lu Zhi had already eaten it, so he couldn't pick it out: "It's just a small piece. It's okay."
Lu Yanlin wanted to get angry, but seeing Yan Qiong looking apologetic and guilty, he turned his gaze away coldly.
Yan Qiong's health is not good and she doesn't care about being beautiful as much as before.
In the past, she had exquisite makeup and hair style, and she never took off her jade bracelets. It was inconvenient for her to hold the child in high heels. Now, she is willing to go out without makeup just to accompany Lu Zhi.
She liked Lu Zhi, and seeing him playing on the swing so cutely reminded her of Lu Yanlin's childhood, and asked him, "Why didn't you like playing on the swing before?"
Lu Yanlin's eyelashes were long and thick, drooping lazily. He smiled faintly and did not answer.
Yan Qiong knew basically nothing about his childhood, perhaps even less than Xin Mihe.
Lu Yanlin didn't stay for long and left after dinner.
Lu Zhi followed him to the door. He was not a child who showed his emotions. He would not forget what Lu Yanlin had taught him a long time ago, but how could he control his fear?
He was carrying his small schoolbag and watching Lu Yanlin's car disappear. He finally couldn't help wiping his tears. The more he wiped, the more tears came, so he stopped.
He longed for another dad, a dad who wouldn't let him cry so long.
Aunt Yu asked him what was wrong, and Lu Zhi said, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."
His cheeks were warm, but his hands were cold. He could be held in Aunt Yu's arms with one hand. Aunt Yu thought it was the wind, so she carried him back to the bedroom to sleep.
All the furniture in Lu Mansion was replaced, and when I went back, I no longer felt familiar with it.
He couldn't help but frown and sat in the living room for a long time, still feeling a little impatient and not quite adaptable. After returning to the bedroom, he felt much better, but he couldn't fall asleep.
Lu Yanlin tossed and turned in bed for a long time, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, closed his eyes and forced himself to stay awake for a while. His glands felt hot. He got up, took some medicine, and continued to sleep, but it was difficult to sleep soundly.
I finally fell asleep, but was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
He looked depressed and went to the first floor to answer the landline phone. Aunt Yu was very anxious: "Yanlin, Xiaozhi has a fever and it won't go away!"
Lu Yanlin's eyebrows jumped, he put on his clothes and drove to the hospital.
Yan Qiong went out to play mahjong with her friends, and only Aunt Yu was at home. When she realized something was wrong, it was too late. Lu Zhi had a fever all over his body, vomited constantly, and had alternating chills and sweating.
She quickly woke up the driver and called Lu Yanlin on the way.
As soon as the car arrived at the hospital, the emergency equipment was ready. Lu Yanlin was guarding Lu Zhi. He was unconscious due to the fever and was still talking about the balloon, "Dad, I have reflected on it."
Lu Yanlin listened for a while, then remained silent for a moment. He stood up and dialed the number he was familiar with, but he couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried.
He also felt a little despicable, remembering the man's small kindness in such a chaotic time. He couldn't hang up the phone, and he could accept that the call wouldn't go through. But the repetitive act of dialing allowed him to grab a piece of driftwood while waiting for his life to pass.
The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, and the full moon in the sky shone brightly, casting a light on the brightly lit hospital, yet there was a sense of loneliness like a grave.
Doctor Qu was quickly called over. After the old man gave Lu Zhi acupuncture, his convulsions improved a lot.
He lay on the bed, opened his eyes with difficulty, looked around, and felt so painful that chills ran through his bones. But when he saw Lu Yanlin, he pursed his lips and held back his tears.
Doctor Qu stroked his beard, frowned, and sighed repeatedly: "Liver and spleen disharmony, dampness and turbidity are generated internally, so there should be taboos in diet. How can you do anything reckless?"
Aunt Yu quickly apologized, tears in her eyes, and she felt so guilty that she didn't know what to do.
Lu Yanlin comforted calmly: "It's none of your business, blame me."
"Of course it's your fault. He's your son." Doctor Qu withdrew the needle and glanced around. "Where's Jin Man? Let him come. I've taught him a set of pediatric massage. Now is the perfect time."
For some reason, the topic suddenly turned to Jin Man. Aunt Yu glanced at Lu Yanlin and said nervously, "Man Man is not here."
Dr. Qu was puzzled. Why was Jin Man not there?
He couldn't figure it out, and his tone was not very good: "He's not here, so you take care of Xiao Lu like this? It's a mess."
Lu Yanlin called a friend at the Provincial Hospital and asked a professional doctor to give Lu Zhi a massage, but the method that usually worked well had little effect this time.
His high fever came and went, and in just two or three days, he lost a lot of weight and didn't want to eat anything.
The instruments couldn't find the cause, but ultimately, his body was just too weak.
Too weak to keep alive.
It's like seeing a dying flower seedling with broken roots. You know it won't live long, so there's no point in keeping it.
It was difficult for Lu Yanlin to describe his mood at that moment. He had always been a decent and indifferent person, but he couldn't help feeling a little anxious these days. He returned to the Lu Mansion to pack up Lu Zhi's things. When he saw the painting on the wall, he sat in the children's room for a while.
On the blue whale quilt, there is a cute but ugly big rooster doll lying.
He rested the knuckle of his index finger against his forehead for a moment, and when he stood up, he knocked over Lu Zhi's children's picture book, and the contents floated out.
He bent down to pick it up and found that it was a beautifully made card with fifteen sunflowers printed on it, glued together with glue sticks. Each flower could be torn off, and there was a paragraph of words at the back.
The flowers are not beautiful and the handwriting is not very nice, but in order to make it easier for children to read, there are pinyin.
Each flower is a countdown, telling Lu Zhi that once all the flowers are torn off, his father will come home.
Lu Zhi tore the flowers very carefully, and each flower could be put together perfectly. He put a lot of effort into this.
So, when is it approximately?
During the last cold war, he was on a business trip to England for a long time. He felt that with Aunt Yu around, Lu Zhi didn't need any extra care. Jin Man didn't call Lu Zhi either. He wasn't such a heartless person, so why?
Lu Yanlin gently stroked the greeting card and read the words on it.
The Alpha was away for fourteen days and left fourteen gifts at home, hiding them all and asking Lu Zhi to find them, just like coaxing a child.
Because there are only fourteen days,
So there was still one flower that had not been torn off, and Lu Zhi didn't know why, so he didn't tear it open either.
However, because the Lu Mansion has been cleaned from top to bottom, the probability of finding the final ultimate prize is hard to say.
The gift Jinman prepared wouldn't be expensive, and the housekeeping staff wouldn't specifically call to ask about it and leave it as is.
Lu Yanlin suddenly felt annoyed.
This kind of thing shouldn't be seen by Lu Zhi. He originally wanted to throw it away and had already thrown it into the trash can, but he frowned for a while, bent down to pick it up, and put it back into the children's picture book as it was.
Yan Qiong couldn't eat or sleep these days and was extremely anxious. It could be said that as Lu Zhi's condition worsened and recurred, no one in the Lu family felt at ease and the situation was almost a mess.
The child's condition had not improved yet, and Yan Qiong's heart had problems again, so she was admitted to the hospital with Lu Zhi.
Aunt Yu ran back and forth every day, and Lu Yanlin couldn't completely ignore his work. He kept running back and forth between the company, the hospital, and the Lu Mansion. He looked calm and didn't feel tired at all. The doctor couldn't bear it anymore and prescribed some medicine for him, telling him to have a good sleep.
"Thank you, but no thanks."
Lu Yanlin was not yet so weak as to need to take medicine. He politely declined the doctor's suggestion and accompanied Lu Zhi for the infusion. Perhaps because he had been ill for a long time, he was unwilling to talk. Occasionally, when he felt very uncomfortable, he would just weakly lean on Lu Yanlin's palm and look out the window.
He didn't ask where Jin Man had gone, nor did he dare to ask.
Lu Zhi fell into another drowsy sleep. When he woke up, he saw a fluffy yellow stuffed rooster lying on the head of the bed with high spirits. There was a card under the rooster.
He was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his little hand to touch it. He touched Huahua, sniffed, and picked it up.
There was still one last flower on the card that had not been torn off, and Lu Zhi did not intend to tear it off. He took the card and looked at it from left to right, reading each flower one by one, thinking to himself, he still had one more, fortunately there was still one more.
Lu Yanlin looked at the door for a while but didn't go in.
The sun sets outside the window and dusk falls.
He was looking at the city skyline when he was suddenly bumped into by someone. He looked away and his pupils suddenly shrank. His heart beat faster and he quickly chased after the person and grabbed his arm.
"pain!"
The innocent victim turned around and saw the indifferent expression of the handsome nobleman, the largest shareholder of the hospital. He immediately fell silent: "Uh... Mr. Lu."
He has handsome facial features, but the back of his head is round and his ears are thin, so he looks a bit similar.
Lu Yanlin's eyes were calm, and he let go of her hand: "Sorry."
He returned to the bench in the corridor, and his heartbeat returned to normal, beating gently against his chest.
The sun's rays faded over the city skyline.
Under the lush lilac tree, an electric light was on. Jin Man was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, holding an ice cream in his mouth, and reaching out to tease the puppy at his feet.
