Chapter 9: Strong persuasion to take medicine, pain and insomnia, halfway through the conversation, An Huaixu...
'bite--'
An Mingli's face appeared in the camera.
The two men are seven or eight years apart in age, and their eyes and eyebrows are very similar, but unlike An Huaixu who has a cold face and a foul mouth, An Mingli has been doing business for many years. He has a gentle and elegant temperament, and his style of doing things is calm and thoughtful. He is a well-known cunning but smiling tiger in the business world.
The corners of the Smiling Tiger's mouth were curled up like a mannequin. An Huaixu was displeased no matter how he looked at him. He simply threw his phone away and pointed the camera at the ceiling, preventing An Mingli from looking at him or An Shuqi.
An Mingli looked around him and asked in confusion: "Where are you?"
An Huaixu: "Guest dormitory."
An Mingli nodded: "Is Shuqi okay?"
An Huaixu: “Yeah.”
An Mingli suddenly laughed: "Are you still angry because I forced you to appear on the Kids' Show?"
An Huaixu: “No.”
The awkward look in the cold voice clearly shows that.
An Mingli didn't bother with him: "I have already resolved the matter on the Internet. You guessed it right. It was the Wang family who did it."
The Wang family is the mortal enemy of the An family, and they often resort to some unspeakable means to try to bring down the An family. This time, the negative comments about An Huaixu came in with such force that even many entertainment accounts emerged. It is impossible that there is no one behind the scenes pushing for it.
An Huaixu showed no emotion: "Just a rat in the gutter."
An Mingli could not deny it and changed the subject: "Uncle Lin said that you have a bad attitude towards Teacher Shi. I know what you are thinking. The Wang family has already spent a lot of effort to get rid of this person last time. It is impossible for him to do something to your group again."
An Huaixu recalled that bad experience.
Three years ago, the Wang family found a young man who looked 60% like Shi Yu from somewhere and quietly sent him to the crew where he worked.
He thought he had found hope, but he didn't expect that this person's behavior was totally inconsistent with Shi Yu's style, and he greedily and selfishly took advantage of his feelings and tried to interfere in the affairs of the An family. He was soon exposed as an 'artificial sun'.
Afterwards, the Wang family did not give up and tried to do it again a few more times, confusing his confidence in finding Shi Yu.
Come to think of it, the worst time he was deceived was exactly the same as when he met Shi Yun. The identity, background and social situation were so real that they couldn’t be more real.
so--
An Huaixu stroked the thin rope on his wrist: "I know my limits. He is not sent by others, nor is he Xiaoyu. I will stop immediately."
An Mingli sighed: "You have trapped yourself in fifteen years ago forever."
An Huaixu corrected him in a paranoid tone: "It's fifteen years, three hundred and fifty-five days...ten hours and fifty-seven minutes."
An Mingli was stunned for a moment, recalling——
On a morning fifteen years ago, An Huaixu didn't want to play with the talkative Shi Yu, so he hid in the back garden. Shi Yu got lost on his way out to look for other friends.
An Huaixu believed that it was his fault that this incident happened, and he must find Shi Yu back so that he can live a life without guilt.
Thinking of everything his brother had gone through, An Mingli couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked, "Do you want me to help you check?"
An Huaixu: "I'll do it myself."
An Mingli hummed: "Where is Shuqi?"
An Huaixu deliberately prevented An Mingli from seeing his son and asked him rudely, "What do you have to do?"
An Mingli's smile froze, and he gritted his teeth: "You little bastard, you..."
"Beep——"
An Huaixu hung up the phone directly and interrupted An Mingli's next words.
His mood barely improved. He turned on his camera and posted a photo in the group in a businesslike manner. The photo was taken from a long distance with an unclear angle, and the child's face was not even clearly visible.
The message ding-dong:
[Warm family-sister-in-law: (thumbs-up)]
[A warm family - An's mother: (thumbs up) (scattering flowers x3) Not bad, at least the baby didn't die.]
[A warm family - sister-in-law: (laughing) I feel at ease when Huaixu takes care of the kids. I remember when they were little, Shuqi was very attached to Huaixu.]
[A Warm Family-An Mingli: @An Huaixu, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?]
An Huaixu ignored An Mingli, put away his phone, and looked at Shi Yun who had returned from the vegetable garden.
Shi Yun was in a good mood, humming a tuneless song. He met his gaze and smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
He waved his hand, pointed at the juicy green onions, and asked him if he wanted to eat some.
An Huaixu let him do as he pleases.
Shi Yun muttered as he picked leaves: “People who are casual are the hardest to please.”
An Huaixu heard it clearly and said speechlessly: "An Shuqi is allergic to ginger."
Shi Yun responded and immediately put the ginger at hand into the basket.
An Huaixu leaned against the window, staring quietly at his busy and skilled figure in the kitchen, thinking, until the noodles came out of the oven and were served on the table, and the aroma woke up An Shuqi on the bed, he came back to his senses.
An Shuqi was still a little confused when he opened his eyes. When he saw An Huaixu, he calmed down and asked, "Where does it look like?"
An Huaixu picked him up and asked him to sit on the bed and put on his shoes: "Speak with your tongue straight."
An Shuqi frowned, looking troubled: "How do I stroke it?"
An Huaixu didn't say anything and handed him a glass of water.
An Shuqi pushed him away in resistance: "No, no, my stomach is flat, I want some food!"
Shi Yun just happened to peek out from the door and saw An Shuqi waking up. He happily came over, holding a cup of honey water in one hand and a few pills on a piece of medical paper in the other: "Shuqi, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
An Shuqi shook his head, grinned foolishly and was about to get closer.
An Huaixu held his forehead and turned it back to him: "You are stupid, don't stick to me randomly, what's wrong with you."
An Shuqi looked at his ugly face in confusion and was about to cry.
Shi Yun said "Hey hey" twice, interrupting his spellcasting: "I heard that the children who don't cry when they wake up are the best, Shuqi, is that right?"
An Shuqi sniffed and stubbornly choked to prove himself: "I, I am!"
Shi Yun breathed a sigh of relief, raised the things in his hand, and whispered to An Huaixu: "These two are for before dinner."
An Huaixu hummed, "Give it to me."
He just took the pills and ignored the honey water that Shi Yun had specially prepared.
An Shuqi's face was squeezed into a ball. He felt painful when he looked at the pills for one more second: "Oh, oh, I can't do that!"
An Huaixu said stiffly: "Do you still want to have a fever?"
An Shuqi shook his head.
An Huaixu said again: "Then take medicine."
An Shuqi: "I'm not inferior!"
An Huaixu said a few words, but An Shuqi remained unmoved, and his patience was about to run out.
Shi Yun said, "It's not pills. Our Shuqi is well now, so of course he doesn't need to take pills."
An Shuqi agreed: "Yes!"
Shi Yun: “These are small candy beans.” He put them into his mouth with a fake motion and chewed them for a while: “It’s very sweet with this glass of water!”
An Shuqi believed his words without a doubt. He opened his mouth, put the pill in it obediently, and swallowed it quickly, imitating Shi Yun's way of tilting his head back and swallowing water.
Shi Yun stared at An Shuqi expectantly: "How is it? Is it sweet?"
An Shuqi smacked his lips and said in surprise, "Su, I want more!"
Shi Yun stopped him: "No, eat first, and then I'll make you a glass of sweet water, okay?"
An Shuqi responded crisply.
An Huaixu suddenly paused, and the familiar scene turned into a huge wave that lifted up the memories deep in his mind——
When he was a child, Shi Yu was in poor health. He would get a minor illness every three days and a major illness every five days. Every time he took medicine, Shi's mother or Shi Yu's brother Shi Cheng would make a cup of honey water and chase him for a long time before he could drink it.
He was watching from the side and would say silently in his heart:
"Little squeamish kid."
Shi Yun was walking by with An Shuqi, and just then he heard the mosquito-like sound. He was confused for a moment: "W-what?"
An Huaixu finally realized that he had spoken his mind, and turned his head unnaturally to avoid his sight: "You heard wrong."
Shi Yun believed it and nodded. Afraid that he still thought he had the plan, he explained, "Children are afraid of hardship, so they have to be coaxed to come."
Just when he thought An Huaixu would ignore him, he unexpectedly heard this man say "hmm" in a serious tone.
Shi Yun turned his head in surprise: "..."
An Huaixu: "What's the matter?"
Shi Yun spoke without thinking: "You actually know how to study!"
An Shuqi brand repeater is online: "Study~ Huaixu is good!" He sang a song out of tune: "Little rabbit is good, open the door~"
An Huaixu: “……?”
Did the small one infect the big one, or did the big one infect the small one?
Arrived at the table.
This is a small square table with countless patches on the edges, and it seems that it will collapse in the next second.
An Huaixu recalled the time when he was filming "Shining Star Rain".
The protagonist in the story had a very hard life in the beginning, and he didn't even think of eating at a dining table like this.
An Huaixu asked him bluntly: "Will it not collapse?"
Shi Yun uttered a puzzled "ah", then understood, slapped the table with great force, and said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, it's okay!"
An Huaixu didn't ask any more questions. He took the small stool and sat down.
Shi Yun looked at him with his legs apart, feeling a little aggrieved. Only then did he realize that he was embarrassed, and carefully handed him a pair of chopsticks: "New, never used."
An Huaixu felt that this guy was a bit too long-winded.
An Shuqi next to him had been hungry for a long time. When he smelled the fragrance, his stomach growled.
Shi Yun didn’t prepare children’s chopsticks at home. He hesitated for a few seconds and hinted to An Huaixu: You feed Shuqi!
An Huaixu thought he had an eye cramp and was puzzled as to why he had so much trouble just eating a meal?
Shi Yun closed his eyes, hoping that his dislike was just his illusion.
He raised his hand to hug An Shuqi.
An Huaixu disagreed: "He can eat with a spoon, don't spoil him."
Shi Yun cut the noodles into small pieces and praised An Shuqi upon hearing this: "Shuqi is so great?"
An Shuqi puffed out his chest proudly.
Shi Yun picked up some broken noodles and handed them to An Shuqi, while saying to An Huaixu: "The soft noodles should be divided into small pieces so that the child can scoop them up with a spoon."
An Huaixu paused slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He had not thought of this.
He looked at An Shuqi, who was eating mouthful after mouthful with great relish, his little mouth opening and closing, making sounds like "Baji, Baji..."
An Huaixu frowned.
An Shuqi was unaware and said, "Baji!"
An Huaixu was silent.
An Shuqi: "Well..."
An Huaixu pinched his cheeks quickly and ruthlessly, muting the sound manually: "Who taught you this bad habit? If you smack your lips again while eating, I'll throw you out."
An Shuqi's face was squeezed into a ball, and his mouth was like an angry little duck: "Ugh, it hurts... My little An in the cartoon is like this!"
Shi Yun was happy for a while and guided An Shuqi to watch him eat.
An Shuqi was at an age when he liked to imitate others, so he immediately followed suit.
The two of them finished their meal happily, not noticing An Huaixu, who was disturbed and had a visibly unhappy face.
An Shuqi volunteered to help Shi Yun wash the dishes.
Shi Yun closed his foamy hands and blew towards them: "Hoo--"
A colorful bubble flew up.
An Shuqi ran after him, laughing and having a lot of fun playing with himself.
But after all, he had not fully recovered from his illness. After a short while, he lay exhausted in Shi Yun's arms, counting the stars, and fell asleep.
An Huaixu took An Shuqi from Shi Yun's arms and put him on the bed.
He turned his head and saw Shi Yun standing outside the window, half of his figure hidden in the darkness. He moved his arm with a painful look on his face, obviously hurt by the wound.
He thought to himself, he is quite patient.
An Huaixu half-closed the window and watched Shi Yun return to the house through the gap. Less than ten minutes later, he came out again, as if he was in pain and couldn't sleep.
He couldn't stay idle even if he didn't sleep, so he swept the yard with a stiff posture, and occasionally broke off some steamed buns to feed the wild cats and dogs passing by outside.
An Huaixu looked at him for a long time and thought that he was a really strange person. Even though he was in a mess, he always put others first in everything.
If you can't carry An Shuqi, just let him go by himself. You have to put on a brave face.
Shi Yun sat in the yard for a while, preparing to go back home to spend the night there. An Huaixu pushed open half of the window, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and asked him, "Are you planning to burn your arm and then amputate it?"
Shi Yun turned his head and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, did my voice wake you up?"
An Huaixu said calmly, "It's too much trouble."
"Then I'll be quieter next time."
"This is your home. I don't care what you do."
Shi Yun said without hesitation: "It's your house now, Director Lin said... um!"
Halfway through his words, An Huaixu suddenly threw a bottle of familiar spray into his arms.
An Huaixu: "Sorry, I don't like to owe favors to others."
After saying that, he closed the window coldly.
Shi Yun looked at the spray with the word "pain relief" written on it in his hand and laughed. This time he didn't understand what this "clearance" meant.
