Chapter 30 Xu Ze, do you know the real me? Xiao Zhier decided...
Xu Ze's voice seemed to come through layers of fog, and seemed even softer and more harmless in the mist. Xiao Zhier struggled to shake his head and looked up at Xu Ze.
Xiao Zhier's body was trembling slightly, his eyes were red from coughing and there were tears in his eyes, showing his fragility and vulnerability that he had never shown in front of others.
Like a piece of transparent glass, crystal clear and beautiful, but it will break if it is dropped.
Xu Ze's heart softened to the point of being completely soft. He couldn't help but take a half step forward, and his voice was so soft that it seemed to be soaked with water: "Brother Xiao, look at me, I won't hurt you, look at me, okay?"
Xiao Zhier closed his eyes.
With Xu Ze's gentle comfort, his wandering soul seemed to have found its direction of refuge, and fell back into his empty body little by little.
Xiao Zhier's throat was so dry that sparks almost came out. He looked at Xu Ze and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, I made you worry..."
Seeing Xiao Zhier wake up, Xu Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand with a smile and held Xiao Zhier's elbow. Seeing that he didn't have any abnormal reaction, he continued, "Brother Xiao, why are you being polite to me? Come and sit here for a while. Chen Tong's examination will take a while to finish."
Xiao Zhier also knew that his current condition was not good and it was no longer suitable for him to continue waiting for Chen Tong in the passages outside several departments. He obediently followed Xu Ze and sat down in the chair in the waiting area, rubbing his temples tiredly.
Xu Ze saw that Xiao Zhier looked listless and his voice was frighteningly hoarse just now. After whispering a few words to him, he turned around and walked quickly towards the vending machine in the distance.
Shaocheng Hospital is a Grade 3A hospital with exceptionally good infrastructure. Several rows of massage chairs are free to use. Xu Ze deliberately took Xiao Zhier to sit in the last row.
There was a window behind him and a seat in front of him, which gave Xiao Zhier the maximum sense of security he needed at the moment.
Xiao Zhier's emotions had gone through such a huge fluctuation that his whole body felt weak. His eyes were filled with deep fatigue, and he seemed to have no strength to even raise his hand.
Xiao Zhier sank into the soft leather seat like a cat that had not yet woken up.
He watched Xu Ze's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, then he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely.
Xiao Zhier hesitated for a long time. He lowered his eyes and stared at his fingertips for a long time. There was a clear blood mark on his slender white fingers. It was the mark left by Xiao Zhier when he was out of control.
Looking at the wound that was already oozing blood, Xiao Zhier sighed softly.
He took out his cell phone and called home.
The call was answered by Ms. Ling Chunhua. As soon as Ms. Ling heard Xiao Zhier's voice, she happily conveyed the message from Mr. Xiao to him.
Mr. Xiao is going to attend a calligraphy seminar this week. This meeting is different from the usual ones. The organizer of the exhibition has specially invited Xiao Zhier to submit a calligraphy piece, and there will also be awards.
For this matter, the old man had called Xiao Zhier long ago to emphasize the matter, implying that he should put in the effort to write well and not embarrass him.
With Grandpa Xiao's advice, Xiao Zhier dared not be careless. He stayed at home for the past few days and wrote seven or eight pieces. Finally, Grandpa Xiao picked and chose one and took it away.
However, according to Ms. Ling Chunhua, the old man was just embarrassed to praise him in front of Xiao Zhier, but when he arrived at the seminar yesterday, he was so eloquent that he almost praised Xiao Zhier to bits.
Ms. Ling Chunhua kept on nagging, starting from how Mr. Xiao drank too much at a dinner party last night and called her late at night to pour out his heart, and continued to talk about how Xiao Zhier's birthday was coming up and they needed to prepare in advance.
The old lady has been talkative since she was young, and she still can't stop talking even when she's old. She talked to Xiao Zhier for almost ten minutes before she realized it belatedly and laughed at him: "Grandma talks too much, our little teacher Xiao has to bear with it."
Xiao Zhier laughed softly: "Grandma, you are making fun of me. How dare I despise you?"
His voice was still hoarse, and other people might not be able to hear it, but Ms. Ling Chunhua was an experienced artist for many years, and the old lady could hear even the slightest change in Xiao Zhier's voice.
Just like now, Xiao Zhier had clearly tried his best to control himself, but Ms. Ling Chunhua still asked him suspiciously: "Why do I hear your voice sound a little strange? Do you have a cold?"
Xiao Zhier coughed twice immediately: "It's okay, it's just a minor cold. I don't think I need to take any medicine. I will be fine in two days."
Xiao Zhier has been a sensible child since he was young. Ever since he started living with Mr. Xiao and Ms. Ling Chunhua, he has never caused the two elderly people much trouble. Therefore, although Xiao Zhier will inevitably be nagged by Ms. Ling Chunhua for a long time, at least the old lady is not too worried.
After listening to Ms. Ling Chunhua talking for a long time, the depression in Xiao Zhier's heart seemed to dissipate little by little with Ms. Ling Chunhua's voice. His breathing gradually became lighter, and the emotions in his eyes also softened a lot.
After Xiao Zhier promised Ms. Ling Chunhua that he would go back for dinner tomorrow, Ms. Ling Chunhua reluctantly hung up the phone. Xiao Zhier looked up and saw Xu Ze taking Chen Tong for an examination.
He stood up quickly, but because he moved too quickly, Xiao Zhier's eyes went dark when he stood up and he almost fell down.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhier reacted quickly and pressed down the back of the seat in front of him, thus avoiding a blow to the forehead.
"Brother Xiao!"
When Xu Ze came back from buying some water just now, he saw Xiao Zhier was on the phone. Out of politeness he didn't get closer, but he was also keeping an eye on Xiao Zhier's movements.
Xiao Zhier frightened him greatly. Xu Ze quickly came to Xiao Zhier's side and looked at him carefully for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief. He slammed the report in his hand into Chen Tong's arms, grabbed Xiao Zhier's arm and complained: "You scared me to death, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Zhier smiled, patted the back of Xu Ze's hand soothingly, and turned to look at Chen Tong: "Are you done with the examination?"
Chen Tong nodded honestly: "These are all done. Doctor Xu said to draw two more tubes of blood."
Seeing that Xu Ze had made clear arrangements, Xiao Zhi'er didn't say anything more. After the two of them accompanied Chen Tong to draw blood and sent him back to the ward to rest, Xu Ze took out the water he had been holding in his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhi'er: "Are you feeling better?"
The two people were afraid of disturbing the patient, so they took the initiative to move to the window at the end of the corridor to talk.
Xiao Zhier took the bottle of water and saw that Xu Ze had already unscrewed the cap considerately. He didn't bother to be polite with Xu Ze and drank half of the bottle immediately.
Xiao Zhier's throat still hurt a little when he swallowed, but it got much better with the nourishment of mineral water. He screwed the cap on the bottle and looked at the mineral water bottle in his hand: "It's not a big deal, I just got stuck in a dead end."
Xu Ze stared at Xiao Zhier for two seconds, then he opened the window a little, letting the autumn breeze blow past his ears. He could hear the sound of birds singing from outside the window.
There are several ginkgo trees planted in Shaocheng Hospital. At this time, the fan-like leaves have begun to turn from green to yellow, and the sunlight falls on the leaves, creating shimmering light.
The sky is high and the earth is vast, and everything seems to be peaceful and tranquil.
Xiao Zhier stood in front of the window, feeling the autumn breeze on his face. The fragrance of flowers swirled into his nose. He lowered his eyes quietly and suddenly felt that the emotions that had been weighing on his heart for a long time didn't seem so difficult to get rid of.
He curled his lips slightly and looked at the kitten climbing on the ginkgo tree opposite. Xiao Zhier poked Xu Ze's arm and said, "I promised grandma that I would go back for dinner tomorrow. Doctor Xu, are you interested in coming to our house for a meal?"
Xu Ze's heart moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his eyes. He looked at Xiao Zhier with a probing look in his eyes: "Brother Xiao, are you inviting me to your home as a guest on behalf of Grandma Ling, or are you inviting me to go home with you for dinner?"
Xiao Zhier tilted his head to look at Xu Ze. He curled his lips slightly, and the corners of his eyes curved into a beautiful arc. There was a mischievous smile in his eyes as he looked at Xu Ze: "What's the difference?"
Xu Ze stared at him for a few seconds, and seeing that Xiao Zhier had no intention of giving up, he stepped forward and clasped Xiao Zhier's wrist with his five fingers. The young man came so close that his soft hair brushed against his cheek, and a faint, cool tea scent wafted in his face.
Xiao Zhier subconsciously wanted to step back, but Xu Ze had the foresight to raise his hand and hold his waist.
"Be careful."
Xu Ze said softly, the frame of the glasses on his nose glowing slightly, and the silver glasses chain swayed, causing Xiao Zhier's heartbeat to skip a beat for some unknown reason.
He withdrew his hand, and Xiao Zhier took a casual glance and saw a light red mark on the back of Xu Ze's hand.
Xiao Zhier was startled and he quickly turned around to look. The decorative ridge of the corner was facing his back. If he had really bumped into it just now, with Xiao Zhier's physique that was prone to bruising, although it would not cause skin breakage and bleeding, it would still leave a bruise and would hurt for a few days.
"Feel sorry."
Like a subconscious apology, he reached out to grab Xu Ze's wrist, but Xu Ze hid his hand behind his back, leaving Xiao Zhier with nothing to grab.
This was the first time Xu Ze avoided Xiao Zhier's touch.
Xiao Zhier frowned slightly, and before he could say anything, Xu Ze came closer.
He was already in the corner, and Xu Ze took another half step forward, completely trapping Xiao Zhier between the wall and Xu Ze's body.
The young man's eyes were gloomy. He gently brushed the hair that fell on Xiao Zhier's forehead. He rarely showed some aggressiveness in front of Xiao Zhier: "Brother Xiao, you know what I mean."
Xu Ze rubbed Xiao Zhier's wrist joints with his thumb for a few times. He curled his lips and looked at Xiao Zhier with a soft and lingering gaze: "Brother Xiao, I know, you understand what I mean, and you also know what answer I want to hear."
Xiao Zhier sighed softly.
He lowered his eyes, turned his wrist and broke free from Xu Ze's grasp, then lowered his body to break free from Xu Ze's restraint. Xiao Zhier did not pause. He grabbed Xu Ze's wrist, raised his left arm to control Xu Ze's hand and touched the inside of his upper arm.
Xiao Zhier stared at Xu Ze's eyes that suddenly widened, and smiled provocatively: "Xu Ze, do you know the real me?"
