An Xing's fingers are very long, with no prominent joints. His skin is good, so they are tender and smooth to the touch, and a thin layer of calluses covers the soft fingertips.
Xiao Yi grabbed the boy's paw and squeezed it, feeling that it was smooth and soft, and very easy to squeeze. The boy also looked at him with his round almond eyes, and obediently let him squeeze his paw.
Xiao Yi's thoughts became bolder, and he continued, still breathing lightly:
"That is to say, for saving my life, I..."
He stopped talking halfway and his eyes fell on the man coming in from outside.
An Xing tilted his head in confusion, then turned around and saw Lu Tianchen walking in from outside the ward.
The shirt the man was wearing was thin and slim, outlining the strong body of an adult male, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, a golden ratio, and a pair of long legs. Just walking from the door to the bedside, it was like walking onto a podium that everyone was paying attention to, with a strong aura, as if he was about to make a statement.
After praising Brother Chen for being so cool in his heart, An Xing looked back at Xiao Yi and asked him seriously.
"Brother Xiao Yi, what did you just say? Saving my life? Are you trying to thank me? Oh, you don't have to be so polite!"
“…”
Xiao Yi's gaze fell on the boy's innocent round face, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly moved back.
Lu Tianchen was standing behind An Xing. Without lowering his head, he lowered his eyes and looked over. His dark pupils did not absorb any light.
It was like a ferocious beast encircling a kitten and giving it a cold death stare at the foolish human who barged in and tried to steal the cat.
Xiao Yi: ...
Facing the extremely oppressive gaze, Xiao Yi wanted to struggle again and opened his mouth:
"That's right... you saved my life, so of course I have to thank you very much, so what..."
"Xingxing, the medicine in the IV is almost gone."
Lu Tianchen interrupted Xiao Yi and suddenly spoke.
"Go to the nurse's station and call someone."
There was a bell in the single VIP ward, so there was no need to go to the nurse's station to call a nurse. Xiao Yi felt that this person's intention to send An Xing away was too obvious, and Xingzai would definitely not be fooled...
Thinking of this, the young man looked at him, then at Lu Tianchen, and simply agreed. Then he heartlessly pulled out his little paw and turned to leave.
Xiao Yi stretched out his hand in vain, but he couldn't catch the running boy.
Xiao Yi: ...
An Xing was not a fool. As soon as she heard Lu Tianchen's words, she knew that the man wanted to get rid of her.
It must be that his brother Chen found out something serious, such as there was a conspiracy behind Xiao Yi's car accident, and someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to plot against him - that's why brother Chen let him out.
After all, he was a young master who grew up in a wealthy family. An Xing knew that other families were not as friendly and peaceful as his own. There were so many messy things in the circle, and since he met Lu Tianchen, his brother would find all kinds of excuses to let him leave when dealing with some bad things.
This is all to protect him, An Xing understands!
Feeling emotional, An Xing walked to the nurse's station, told the nurse about the situation, and stood there for a while, planning to wait for the nurse to go back to the ward together.
"An Xing?"
Hearing someone calling him, An Xing turned around and saw a young man with slightly longer hair coming out of the elevator with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Brother Bai." An Xing called him obediently. Looking at the bouquet of flowers, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Bai, are you here to see Brother Xiao Yi too?"
Chen Bai snapped his fingers, walked over and hugged An Xing, smiling.
"Yes, I even brought some flowers here. I'm sure your brother Xiao Yi will like them."
An Xing looked at the bunch of bright pink lilies and thought that it was unlikely. He sniffed and asked hesitantly:
"Brother Bo, have you asked the florist to deal with the pollen? Brother Xiao Yi has a little pharyngitis. If he inhales the pollen, he might cough. His ribs are broken."
Chen Bai stopped and showed some surprise on his face.
"He has pharyngitis? How do you know?"
An Xing looked puzzled.
"At the party that day, Brother Xiao Yi didn't drink anything cold and didn't sneeze, but he kept coughing... It wasn't a cold or irritation, it could only be pharyngitis."
Chen Bai held the lily and looked at the boy. After he came back to his senses, he showed a more genuine smile.
"Little star, you are so adorable."
After saying that, he placed the flowers on the nurses' station, motioned for the nurses to divide them among themselves, then he took An Xing's arm and continued walking towards the ward.
"Since your brother Xiao Yi has pharyngitis... forget it, I won't send him flowers."
After a pause, he couldn't help but speak again.
"Little Xingxing, you are so old now, do you have a partner? Do you like a boy or a girl? You seem to be so caring, if you have someone you like, I will give it to you..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Bai felt a cold gaze falling on him. At that moment, he seemed to be locked by some large predator. He paused stiffly and looked into the ward.
Xiao Yi lay dying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with despair. A young nurse was removing the IV drip from him, giving him instructions in a soft voice. Beside the bed, Xiao Yi's uncle Xiao Rui was talking to a young man, and the look that came over belonged to that man.
Lu Tianchen's eyes swept over him, and then passed over his arm that was on An Xing's shoulder. At that moment, Chen Bai felt that the eyes were like a knife, as if they wanted to chop off his arm.
The smile on Chen Bai's face froze, and he slowly retracted his hand that was on An Xing's shoulder.
"Brother Xiao Yi, Brother Bo is here to see you too!"
An Xing was unaware of anything and walked into the ward when he was released and went to say hello to Xiao Rui.
"Teacher, when are we going back to work?"
Xiao Rui glanced at the young boy who came over and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"You want to go back to work so badly?"
"It's a bit boring at home. Dad and brother... both went to work. It's boring for me to be alone."
An Xing almost let it slip that there was a Ning Rong at home, but he stopped himself.
It's strange to say that, although the truth of the mistaken birth in the previous life spread throughout the circle, the An family never officially announced Ning Rong's identity. Perhaps it was for this reason that Ning Rong had a grudge against them. But in this life, although his parents mentioned it, Ning Rong was not in a hurry to announce his identity.
An Xing couldn't understand what they were planning, so he could only conceal the matter before announcing it to the public.
While An Xing was daydreaming, he heard Xiao Rui say coldly:
"If you want to go to work so badly, then go back to the company tomorrow."
An Xing:!
The boy stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth half open, looking like a little fool. He looked at the teacher pitifully for a while, then turned back to look at Lu Tianchen for help.
The man reached out and ruffled the boy's curly hair, then looked down with a gentle and smiling look in his eyes.
"Or just stop working altogether and come to my house to play with Huahua."
This proposal was even more outrageous than going to work tomorrow, and An Xing was dejected.
"Okay, then I'll go to work tomorrow."
Chen Bai glanced at the listless boy for a few seconds, walked to the bedside, and looked at Xiao Yi with some confusion.
"Didn't you say that it was just a broken rib and that it would be fine after some rest? Why are you in such a bad mood?"
Xiao Yi was filled with grief and indignation.
Wasn't he just acting on impulse after surviving a disaster, and was a little too bold to grab An Xing's claws just now? Wasn't Lu Tianchen so bold as to give him a death stare, an oppressive aura, and even threaten him with words!
If it weren't for his uncle's rescue, Xiao Yi felt that Lu Tianchen would stare at him until he lost all worldly desires. He couldn't believe that Lu Tianchen's possessiveness of An Xing could be so strong.
"You don't understand, don't ask!"
Xiao Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Bai.
"You come to see a patient and you don't even bring a gift?!"
Chen Bai dragged out a stool, sat down leisurely and said:
"I originally brought flowers, but Xiao Xingxing said you have pharyngitis, so it's not good to bring flowers to you."
Xiao Yi immediately showed a touched expression: "Our Xingzai is such a good boy, he is so thoughtful!"
Chen Bo: "Do you really have pharyngitis?"
Xiao Yi: "? We have known each other for several years, and you didn't know that I have chronic pharyngitis?!"
Chen Bai coughed and turned his gaze to An Xing: "Little Xingxing is really amazing."
Xiao Yi couldn't help but look over: "What a good boy..."
An Xing didn't feel the two gazes at all. She turned her back to the bed and was still talking to Xiao Rui. The tall man next to the boy seemed to have a sensor radar installed, which could automatically identify the gazes cast on An Xing. He slowly turned his head and glanced at him coldly.
Chen Bo & Xiao Yi: …
The two men turned their eyes away, not daring to confront Lu Tianchen face to face, and cursed in their hearts - if you have the ability, just take down An Xing first, what's the point of glaring at them!
Completely unaware that his brother Chen was threatening people in secret, An Xing and Xiao Rui finished talking about going back to work tomorrow. Seeing that the nurse had left, he returned to the bedside to check on Xiao Yi.
"Brother Xiao Yi, please don't go speeding next time. It's really dangerous."
The young man on the bed had bandages all over his body, and gauze wrapped everywhere. Some smaller wounds were not wrapped up, but were just covered with medicine and left to dry. This look was so miserable that An Xing couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi in his previous life.
He himself had been in a mess for more than a month, and Xiao Yi had been recuperating after his amputation, so he had not seen him again. But it was easy to imagine that this person must have had a hard time. Moreover, the Xiao family was in the jade business, and the family situation was very complicated. After such an incident in his previous life, he didn't know how Xiao Yi ended up.
Xiao Yi also restrained his smile slightly, and was much more serious when talking to An Xing again.
"An Xing, you may think it's nothing, but you really contributed to my survival this time. If you encounter difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you. Thank you for saving my life..."
Halfway through his words, Xiao Yi noticed that Lu Tianchen was staring at him coldly, so he gritted his teeth and changed his words.
"...I will work like a slave to repay you!"
Although the sentence was very blunt, An Xing didn't notice anything wrong. Lu Tianchen was satisfied and reached out to rub the boy's head.
"He said that because he wants to thank you. If you refuse again, he will always remember it. It won't be good for his recovery."
An Xing suddenly realized and said to Xiao Yi seriously:
"Then Brother Xiao Yi, you should take good care of your injuries. I will wait until you are well and healthy, and then you can repay me!"
Xiao Yi: “…Okay.”
An Xing was satisfied. She felt that she had persuaded Xiao Yi to let go of his psychological burden and take good care of his injuries. She immediately puffed out her chest with pride.
Chen Bai's mouth twitched beside him, and he finally understood why Xiao Yi looked half dead when he came in. For the sake of their childhood friends, he coughed lightly and changed the subject.
"Xingzai, I remember your cousin also went to our last party, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Chen Bai smiled and said lightly:
"Oh, I heard that something happened at the car dealership owned by his uncle. It was said that the new master there falsified his resume and was fired by the dealership. He also sued the man."
When they came out of the hospital, An Xing was already sitting in a private room of the hot pot restaurant with Lu Tianchen. Only then did she come to her senses and move closer to the man.
"Brother Chen, did Brother Bo just say that there was something wrong behind Brother Xiao Yi's car accident? Is it related to the car repair shop of Uncle An Hao's family?"
The environment, service and ingredients of this hot pot restaurant are all very good, and there is a minimum consumption amount in the private room. For An Xing, who used all his pocket money to buy handmade materials, it is indeed a feast. In return, Lu Tianchen sat side by side with An Xing, gave him a seasoning bowl, and then served him a beef platter.
"Do you think Xiao Yi's car accident was an accident?"
The man seemed to have an innate aura, and everything he did was extremely oppressive. But when he was alone with An Xing, he was able to restrain his aura completely, and even... very friendly.
Anyway, An Xing watched Lu Tianchen holding long chopsticks, picking up the meat and dipping it in the soup pot, watching the meat slices change color with focused eyes, then picking them up and putting them into the bowl of condiments... He thought that his brother Chen was a good man!
Ah, he ate the meat in one bite. As expected, the seasoning in the bowl also had his favorite taste. An Xing squinted his eyes in satisfaction and even forgot that Lu Tianchen was asking him a question.
After eating several mouthfuls in a row, he came to his senses and said quickly:
"So, what happened to Brother Xiao Yi was really not an accident?"
"Not necessarily. After all, drag racing is inherently dangerous and uncertain." Lu Tianchen said calmly, "Do you care about him a lot?"
Having grown up together, Lu Tianchen had a very accurate grasp of An Xing's emotions. During their daily chats, he discovered that the little fool was very concerned about Xiao Yi's car accident.
That's why he brought the little fool to the hospital. Otherwise, Lu Tianchen would just ask his secretary to deliver the condolences, and there would be no need for him to come here himself.
He also saw Xiao Yi being so bold as to touch the little fool's paw.
An Xing was chewing the tripe shreds, vaguely feeling that the man was in a bad mood at the moment, and immediately understood.
Oh, his brother Shen is jealous!
It turns out that the friendship between two people cannot accommodate a third person!
"I don't really care. I just want to find a topic to chat with you, Brother Chen! Brother Xiao Yi, he is just the topic tool for us to chat!"
The boy leaned over, sweetly.
The subtle dissatisfaction in Lu Tianchen's heart disappeared instantly. He relaxed his lips slightly and gave the boy another piece of meat as a reward, but he was unwilling to continue talking about Xiao Yi when they were alone.
"If he was plotted against, Xiao Yi will definitely retaliate after surviving this disaster. You don't need to worry about him."
"How about you, how have you been at home these past two days? Is Ning Rong easy to get along with?"
Feeling that the man was in a good mood, An Xing answered happily while eating:
“Very good!”
There was no need for Lu Tianchen to continue asking questions, An Xing took the initiative to add details.
"The first night, our room wasn't ready, so Ning Rong and I slept in it. Wow, when I woke up the next day, I had forgotten that we slept in the same bed the night before! He was so invisible!"
Lu Tianchen: ...
Lu Tianchen poked the live shrimp on the ice plate to death with his chopsticks.
