Chapter 25
Qin Shiyao urged, "Don't waste everyone's time. The sooner we finish the 104 slaps, the sooner we can end the day."
Mother Lin looked at Jiang Ji with a miserable expression and a pleading look.
Jiang Ji turned his head away, leaving only half of his cold profile to her.
Mother Lin burst into tears, but her voice was not loud. Her thin shoulders trembled, and she looked pitiful and helpless.
Unfortunately, no one here sympathizes with her.
Qin Shiyao taunted, "Stop crying. Save your strength to beat someone up."
Father Lin's veins popped up when he heard this, and he picked up the fruit knife next to him. However, when he met Qin Shiyao's contemptuous look, his heart skipped a beat, and he finally turned the knife on himself.
"Since you won't leave my family any chance to live, I will die for you now..."
Su Yu interrupted his chanting, "Don't you have another house?"
Mother Lin stopped crying slightly.
Father Lin's face froze, and he said angrily, "What does this have to do with you?"
Su Yu said kindly, "It's none of my business, but I don't want you to be so embarrassed. You can sell the house to me, so that I can continue to treat my son's illness."
Shen Tingzhou:?
Qin Shiyao:?
They didn't understand for a moment why Xiao Su had rebelled.
Su Yudong looked at Mother Lin, who lowered her eyes and remained silent, and smiled gently, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Although he may not wake up, at least you have tried your best and done everything a mother can. But without a house, where will you live in the future? What will you eat and drink? Who will support you for the rest of your life?"
With every word Su Yu spoke, Mother Lin's face became more haggard.
She would sell her house and empty all her savings to save her son as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
This was her real thought, but it was what Lin Xueyan was thinking right after the car accident.
Lin Xueyan had been lying in bed for more than half a year. He was breathing, his heart was beating, and his fingers would occasionally move.
No one would be able to bear the heart to give up on their loved ones after seeing them become like this.
But the prerequisite for all this is to have money.
Only if you have money can you afford to stay in the hospital, hire a nurse, and take medicines that cost thousands of dollars per dose.
Without Jiang Ji's support, Lin Xueyan's parents would face the cruel reality.
"So I want to help you." Su Yu said with compassion, but his clear eyes were cold and lifeless. "After all, it was a life. Can you bear to watch him die? He is your son, a living person."
These are the words that Mother Lin just used to morally blackmail Jiang Ji.
Now Su Yu has been returned to her and she can make the decision.
Mother Lin covered her ears and cried, "That's enough, don't say any more."
Father Lin raised a fruit knife to Su Yu and threatened him fiercely, "Shut up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slap hit him hard in the face.
The crisp sound echoed in the ward.
Father Lin's face swelled up instantly. He looked at Mother Lin in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"
Mother Lin's eyes were filled with bloodshot, as if she was begging, or in pain, and she murmured, "One slap for ten minutes."
Father Lin was furious. "What crazy things are you talking about?"
Mother Lin slapped herself hard again, her voice weak and trembling, "Let my son live a little longer."
Father Lin's eyes flashed with ferocity. He glared at Mother Lin and yelled, "Do you really believe their lies?"
Mother Lin was still muttering to herself, "Let my son live a little longer." With tears in her eyes, she stretched out her arm and slapped Father Lin again.
Father Lin gritted his teeth, grabbed Mother Lin's hair, and slammed her against the wall, "I'll make you crazy, I'll make you crazy!"
I didn't expect that dogs would bite each other.
This sudden turn for the worse left everyone, including Shen Tingzhou, a little confused.
Only Su Yu remained calm, with a look of indifference in his eyes.
The moment Mother Lin cried and slapped her son for the first time, it meant that she had decided to give up on Lin Xueyan.
Lin Xueyan's condition is worse than that of an ordinary vegetative state. If he leaves the hospital and is no longer cared for, he will not live long.
The high medical expenses had already crushed this family half a year ago.
Later, Jiang Ji sacrificed himself, took on all the medical expenses, and helped the Lin family pay off their foreign debts, so that they didn't have to sell their houses at all.
No matter how much Mother Lin loves Lin Xueyan, she also has a realistic side.
How can a living person be dragged down by being half-dead?
If selling the house could cure her son, she would do it without hesitation.
In the past six months, countless good medicines have been used on Lin Xueyan, but there is no sign of him waking up. Time has consumed all her hopes.
Mother Lin's head was covered in blood and she looked like a wolf.
She has always been the pillar of the family. She has been doing all the hard work for so many years. How could the lazy and gluttonous Father Lin be her match?
Mother Lin pushed Father Lin to the ground and slapped him hard in anger.
Those slaps also hit her in the heart.
A fan in the heart of a mother who is about to give up on her son.
Father Lin went from cursing to begging, and after a dozen slaps, even his wails became faint.
Shen Tingzhou listened to the sound of the slap on his flesh and couldn't help but glance at the hospital bed.
Lin Xueyan had his eyes closed, still unresponsive to anything in the outside world, and could not see his parents, whose faces were already disfigured beyond recognition, under the bed.
This scene is inexplicably absurd.
The incessant sound of "pa pa pa" continued to echo in the ward. It was a mother's collapse and despair, as well as a person's cruelty and clarity.
Su Yu hid behind Shen Tingzhou, his voice a little hushed, "Doctor Shen, this is so scary."
Shen Tingzhou turned to him and said: Let me tell you whether I believe you are afraid or not.
-
No matter how slow Shen Tingzhou was, he realized at this moment that Su Yu's words were murderous and heartbreaking.
He always thought that Su Yu was a white flower, but today's incident made Shen Tingzhou recognize Su Yu in a new light.
Su Yu looks like a little white flower, but is actually full of evil intentions.
That’s good. I finally figured out what was going on with that sense of disharmony that popped up from time to time in Su Yu.
Shen Tingzhou felt relieved that he was an ignorant person.
Qin Shiyao was satisfied with having eaten a melon of karma today.
Zhou Zitan remained consistent throughout, and even after the commotion he was still angry about Jiang Ji cheating on his brother.
Jiang Ji looked at the messy ward, lost in thought for a moment, and then left silently.
Fearing that he might be upset, Shen Tingzhou wanted to chase after him, but Su Yu stopped him, "He just wants to be alone and quiet now, he won't do anything stupid."
Shen Tingzhou had no choice but to give up.
The four of them walked out of the ward together.
Zhou Zitan received a phone call and left in a hurry. In the end, only Shen Tingzhou, Qin Shiyao, and Su Yu were left.
Qin Shiyao's breasts are unobstructed today, all thanks to Xiao Su's help. Naturally, he looks handsome and pleasing to the eye.
The two chatted in a friendly manner, Qin Shiyao praised Su Yu for her intelligence and quick-wittedness, and Su Yu praised Qin Shiyao for her beauty and courage.
The atmosphere is wonderful.
Qin Shiyao's expression changed slightly until a tall man in a white coat appeared in front of her.
The man first saw Shen Tingzhou, and a look of confusion flashed across his face, but he still walked over, "Tingzhou?"
When he got closer, he saw Qin Shiyao beside Shen Tingzhou. His facial features suddenly wrinkled up, as if he saw something unsightly. He abruptly changed his route and walked around to another passage.
Shen Tingzhou quickly grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? I'm here."
Qin Si turned his face away and refused to look over here. "Contact me by phone."
Shen Tingzhou sensed the rejection signal he was sending out and was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Qin Si was about to speak when Qin Shiyao suddenly said, "Do you smell anything strange?"
Su Yu was the first to respond, "No, what does it smell like?"
Qin Shiyao glanced at Qin Si, "It smells like a fox."
Qin Si took a deep breath and said calmly, "I still have something to do..."
Qin Shiyao: "The smell is getting stronger and stronger."
Qin Si: "Next time..."
Qin Shiyao: "So coquettish, so coquettish."
Qin Si: "We..."
Qin Shiyao: "It stinks. I was suffocated to death by the fox."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Why don't you two have a fight first.
Looking at Qin Shiyao and Qin Si who were obviously not feeling well, Shen Tingzhou asked hesitantly, "Do you know each other?"
Qin Shiyao and Qin Si said in unison, "I don't know him!"
Shen Tingzhou's eyes swept over the two people who were stubborn and refused to look at each other: They obviously know each other, they have such a tacit understanding.
Su Yu noticed something interesting, "You seem to have the same surname."
Qin Shiyao said indifferently, "We are not related by blood, so we don't know each other."
Qin Si was equally indifferent, "I don't know him, and we are not related by blood."
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile, "So we know each other."
Qin Shiyao corrected him, "I don't know him."
Qin Si also said proudly, "Not all people with the last name Qin know each other."
Su Yu suggested happily, "Since we all know each other, it's time for lunch, let's go together."
Qin Shiyao: …
Qin Si: ...
Shen Tingzhou: Xiao Su, read the air between them.
Su Yu not only did not read it, but invited him even more enthusiastically, "Dinners need more people to be lively."
Qin Shiyao and Qin Si refused again at the same time.
"I'm busy."
"I'm busy."
Su Yu exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with a faint light, "You two are busy at the same time, could it be... that you are going to have dinner together alone?"
How is that possible!
Qin Shiyao and Qin Si's expressions were synchronized again, both looking disgusted.
Shen Tingzhou felt that swallowing a fly was nothing more than that, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with these two people.
Originally, the two of them were determined not to eat at the same table, but after Su Yu used his killer move, they both joined the dinner today.
Su Yu asked cautiously, "Do you have any grievances, so you don't dare to sit at the same table with each other?"
Don’t dare?
Qin Shiyao, who has always been strong-willed, said: "What is there to be afraid of? I just eat."
Qin Si was unwilling to be left behind: "Eat it!"
Shen Tingzhou, who had never seen Qin Si like this, appeared calm on the surface, but was actually beating wildly inside: Oh no, oh no.
-
Su Yu chose a Cantonese restaurant.
There were four people sitting in the room. Shen Tingzhou sat next to Qin Si, and opposite him was Su Yu. Qin Si and Qin Shiyao, a pair whose relationship was a mystery, looked at each other coldly.
It seemed that what separated Qin Si and Qin Shiyao was not a table, but the Chu River and Han Border.
凡是秦詩瑤碰過的菜，秦司絕對不夾一口。
然後，秦詩瑤就把所有菜都嘗了一遍，擦擦嘴表示，“味道都不錯，就是燒鵝跟白灼蝦，還有咕咾肉不怎麽好，有股騷狐貍味。”
這幾道菜正好都是挨近秦司的。
她這話一出，飯桌上的空氣再冷了八個度，沈亭州跟蘇俞齊齊去看秦司。
秦司額角突了突。
秦司閉了一下眼。
秦司他……埋下頭，只吃碗裏的米飯。
沈亭州：看來小秦是秦司，他幹不過秦姐！
沈亭州認識秦司将近十年，鮮少看他這麽吃癟。
秦司是一個生性散漫的人，大多時候很難見到他生氣，但他絕對不是一個好欺負的人，嘴巴毒起來一般人很難頂得住。
幹吃米飯難以下咽，秦司用茶泡飯。
他擡手招呼服務員上一壺熱茶時，手碰到桌前的檸檬水，濺了秦詩瑤一身。
秦司表情一慌，緊張地望向秦詩瑤，小聲說，“我不是故意的。”
說實話，沈亭州都不信他不是故意的，因為檸檬水離他手邊不算近，得多不小心才能碰得到，還正巧濺秦詩瑤身上。
但秦司的表情又讓沈亭州懷疑。
難道真不是故意的，還是小秦的演技已經化臻？
被潑的秦詩瑤緩緩拉出一個和善的微笑，“沒事。”
秦司眼眶瞬間充滿驚恐之色，停屍房有人詐屍，他估計都不會有現在的表情生動。
秦司豎起警惕的防禦牆，推開餐椅起身，盡量遠離秦詩瑤，“我去趟洗手間。”
看着強作鎮定的秦司，沈亭州很好奇——秦詩瑤到底對他做過什麽，看給孩子吓的。
秦詩瑤吃着菜，似乎并沒有在意秦司離席。
洗手間在右手邊的走廊盡頭，秦司飛快從秦詩瑤身側走過。
但他再快，也不及秦姐手快，猝不及防被秦詩瑤潑了一身水。
秦詩瑤微笑，“不小心。”
臉上沒有一點該有的歉意。
秦司磨了磨牙，沈亭州還以為這是他要毒舌的前搖，結果他傲然離去。
看着他不屑一顧的背影，沈亭州腦袋裏莫名冒出一句——
不要裝了，妹妹！
你就是幹不過秦姐，才慫慫退場的。
衣服濕了的秦詩瑤也去洗手間處理。
他倆走了相當長一段時間，沈亭州懷疑兩人是不是提前走了，畢竟他倆看起來是很不對付。
沈亭州正要打電話确認，對面的蘇俞托着下巴，笑眯眯開口。
“沈醫生，我們去洗手間看看吧，人可能在裏面……”蘇俞微妙地頓了一下，“友好協商呢。”
沈亭州感覺蘇俞想說的，不是友好協商，而是打起來了。
不會真打架了吧？
秦司這個死宅屬性，他哪裏是秦詩瑤的對手！
他要是出事了，家裏八只貓怎麽辦？
沈亭州起身，快步朝洗手間走去，蘇俞慢悠悠地跟在身後。
路過安全通道時，沈亭州聽到秦詩瑤狂放不羁的聲音，“就你，也敢跟我動手？”
沈亭州後脊一寒，三步并兩步地走進去，想要阻止暴力流血事件。
推開門，裏面的場景讓沈亭州一怔。
秦司被摁在地上，衣衫淩亂，滿臉緋紅，雙手被秦詩瑤拉到頭頂，用餐巾布捆起來，他不停掙紮，恥辱與不屈并存。
而秦詩瑤跨坐在他腰上，眉眼張揚到跋扈，捏着秦司的下颌，近距離看着他。
這是什麽第四愛現場？
蘇俞把腦袋探進來，說出了沈亭州的心裏話，“你們開個房吧，錢我出。”
秦詩瑤皺起眉，“別亂磕。”
說完這話，她自己倒是一愣，心虛地看了一眼沈亭州。
沈亭州沒落井下石地說出那句至理名言——亂磕讓我頭發茂盛，幹飯有勁兒！
氣氛正尴尬時，秦司終于掙脫了手上的禁锢，開始反擊。
沈亭州：……怎麽感覺他撲打的方式很嬌俏？
秦司不知道是不是跟貓待一起太久，打架的方式很貓科，用手去拍打秦詩瑤。
盡快他的手甩出了無影的速度，但行為還是很小學生。
能一腳踢裂桌子的秦詩瑤，竟然跟秦司比起手速，四只手打的啪啪作響，但無人員傷亡，連個彩都沒挂，頂多就是手紅了。
沈亭州搖頭無奈地看着秦詩瑤，你就寵他吧。
嗅到不對的秦詩瑤朝沈亭州甩來一個眼刃，“都說別亂磕了！”
沈亭州禮貌地撤回一個上翹的嘴角。
最終秦詩瑤還是憑着硬實力，再次制住秦司。
這次她把人翻了一個面，跨坐到秦司的後背，把他的臉往下摁，“服不服？”
秦司拼命梗着脖子，“不服！”
秦詩瑤把他的臉又摁下一寸，“服不服？”
秦司面色通紅，從牙縫擠出兩個字，“不服！”
小學生打架的畫面，着實給孕夫看困了，蘇俞扒在門口懶洋洋打哈欠。
聽到動靜的沈亭州回頭，蘇俞立刻彎彎唇，一副“小兔子乖乖，把門靠靠”的單純模樣。
但看透他本質的沈亭州，默默把頭偏過去。
秦詩瑤、秦司就服不服的問題拉扯良久，秦詩瑤徹底煩，拽着秦司的後衣領拉向自己，然後低頭在秦司後頸吹了一口氣。
秦司猛地一顫，鹌鹑似地把脖子縮起來。
秦詩瑤連吹數口，秦司縮着脖子徹底服了，不敢再叫嚣。
之所以會這樣，是因為秦司怕癢。
沈亭州對秦司初印象是，有點散漫，有點高冷，有點潔癖，不喜歡跟人過多肢體接觸。
後來熟了之後，沈亭州才知道秦司很怕癢，渾身都是癢癢肉，摸一下都要起雞皮疙瘩的敏感體質。
看來秦詩瑤對秦司相當熟悉，不然不可能知道這件事。
秦詩瑤松開秦司，起身輕蔑一笑，“什麽檔次，也配跟我動手！”
秦司活像一個被欺負的良家夫男，眼睛都紅了，他捂着敞開的衣領坐起來。
沈亭州知道自己不該笑，但他沒受過專業訓練，他忍不住啊。
“起來吧。”沈亭州努力繃着嘴角，過去扶秦司。
秦司含恨把頭偏過去，站起來後，撥開沈亭州的手就走了。
沈亭州絲毫不生氣，同理心頗強地想：不怪小秦，如果是他，他估計連夜坐飛船去火星。
秦司走後，秦詩瑤也不再跋扈，面對含笑的沈亭州，難得憋屈了一回。
她強調，“你別亂想，我們什麽事都沒有！”
沈亭州無法正直地點頭，就剛才那情形，怎麽可能一點事都沒有？
但他是貼心的沈醫生，露出職業線微笑，“好的。”
秦詩瑤：……笑得跟個npc似的，一看就不是好人！
秦詩瑤也怒而離去，單方面拉黑了瓜友小沈。
吃瓜現場只剩下沈亭州跟蘇俞。
蘇俞摸着自己逐漸圓滾的肚皮，笑晏吟吟地問，“沈醫生，你現在開心了嗎？”
沈亭州一整個呆滞。
什麽，難道……
想起在醫院裏，蘇俞極力邀請秦詩瑤跟秦司坐一塊吃飯，沈亭州不禁冒出一個猜想。
蘇俞接下來的話，印證了沈亭州的想法。
“剛才看你不是很開心，看到他倆吵鬧了一場，你心情應該好一點了吧。”
蘇俞望着沈亭州的眼睛，是那樣明媚溫軟，說出來的話卻讓沈亭州頭皮有一點點麻。
蘇俞該不會是猜到秦詩瑤、秦司坐在一塊必有一戰，所以才發出午飯邀請，目的是為了讓沈亭州吃瓜看戲，緩解不快的心情？
媽呀。
這是什麽神算子來寵我的霸道戲碼？
有點悚然的沈亭州避開蘇俞的視線，“……我沒有不高興。”
蘇俞一臉委屈，“可你都不看我。”
沈亭州一個激靈，馬上轉頭看他。
蘇俞可憐巴巴地控訴，“我說的不是現在，從醫院出來你一直不看我，也不跟我說話。”
沈亭州想解釋，不是他不跟蘇俞說話，當時是秦詩瑤一直在找蘇俞聊，所以他就保持安靜，總不能三個人搶着說話吧？
話還未出口，沈亭州突然反應過來，眼前這位是一朵黑蕊小蓮花。
那蘇俞之前說的那些看似乎無心的古怪話，其實是故意的，目的是為了……逗他？
不管對方目的是什麽，這次沈亭州不再入套了。
他保持平淡微笑，“沒有。”
蘇俞眨了兩下眼睛，“沈醫生果然跟我生疏了。”
沈亭州繼續微笑，“沒有。”
一句“沒有”走天下，把體面地敷衍進行到底。
蘇俞低低地，輕輕地嘆氣，“我是真的喜歡沈醫生。”
沈亭州微笑，“我也是。”
蘇俞：“阿宴也很喜歡沈醫生。”
沈亭州：“謝謝你們的喜歡。”
蘇俞用一種天真的口氣說，“我們會在上床的時候談你。”
沈亭州繃不住了，微笑的臉龜裂開來。
上什麽床？
蘇俞眼底裏的笑容真切起來，“我們會在上床睡覺的時候談你，簡稱上床。”
沈亭州：要得是你啊！論大喘氣，誰能比得過你？
蘇俞繼續說，“在床上談論你做我們孩子的爸爸。”
沈亭州實在受不了他這種暧昧不明的語氣，求饒道：“以後能不能不說這種話？”
蘇俞看着沈亭州，他唇上挂着的笑，既不是平時那種故作的天真，也不是惡作劇得逞的壞笑，而是平和的，眼底也像澄藍的天空，清澈明亮。
沈亭州一愣。
“沈醫生，我是真的很喜歡，你是一個內心溫暖的人，跟我和阿宴都不一樣。”
“我有時候在想，等這個孩子出生了，應該給他一個什麽樣的教育，是讓他溫和去處理同齡間的問題，還是手段強硬一點，我不知道他喜歡哪一種，所以我想給他兩套教育，讓他長大自己選擇。”
蘇俞沒有産前憂郁症，他很清醒地實施着自己的方案。
沈亭州在感到詭異的同時，還感受到了蘇俞身上的父愛。
話在舌尖繞了好幾圈，沈亭州還是感嘆出來了，“你很愛這個孩子。”
雖然有點古裏古怪，但還是蠻感動的。
因為蘇俞願意尊重自己孩子的意願，這已經很難得了。
蘇俞理所應當，“因為他是我跟阿宴的孩子嘛。”
沈亭州來不及感嘆他倆的神仙愛情，蘇俞就拉過他的手，放到自己隆起的肚皮上。
蘇俞嘴角的笑容拉大，“沈醫生，現在也是你的孩子。”
沈亭州：……
為什麽神仙愛情裏總要冒出他這個第三人？
沈亭州無助道：“你能別老吓我嗎？”
蘇俞揚起小白花一樣純潔的臉，“可我真是這麽想的，而且……”
蘇俞唇角略微翹起一個尖尖的弧度，“被吓到的沈醫生，很可愛啊。”
明明都感覺到不對勁了，還會檢讨是不是自己太敏感了。
這樣的沈醫生，真的讓人很想……欺負呢。
沈亭州：所以你之前都是故意的！
“沈醫生。”蘇俞看着沈亭州，收斂了笑容，難得有幾分認真，“不管我是好人，還是壞人，我永遠都不會傷害你。”
沈亭州靜了一秒，無奈笑笑，“我相信。”
從始至終他都沒懷疑蘇俞要害他，頂多就是擔心蘇俞想他加入他們的家庭。
蘇俞惋惜道：“但如果你願意跟我和阿宴在一起，那就更好了。”
沈亭州笑容一僵。
又來了。
-
下午沒事，沈亭州打算去許殉家看貓，卻意外接到秦司的電話。
沈亭州還以為中午的事會讓他消失一段時間，沒想到這麽快就冒出頭。
真是小看你了小秦，心髒承受力真強！
沈亭州接通電話，才知道秦司是迫不得已聯系他。
秦司家裏有點事，他需要回去幾天，家裏的貓沒人照顧，只能托付給沈亭州。
沈亭州不是第一次授予委任，對秦司家那八只貓相當熟悉，貓主子也很喜歡沈醫生。
要不是如此，社死小秦堅決不會打這通電話。
沈亭州開車過去時，秦司正一臉無事發生地整理貓咪用品。
他沉默且忙碌。
如果是平時，秦司一定會念叨很多沈亭州早就背得滾瓜爛熟的貓咪注意事項。
把一向好脾氣的沈亭州說毛，秦司才會閉上那張妙嘴。
所以他今日的沉默要多反常就有多反常，最重要的是，他臉頰兩側還有留着秦姐掐出來的手指印。
安全通道第四愛畫面，再次湧入沈亭州的大腦。
秦司餘光看到沈亭州微動的肩頭，那顆敏感的心被狠狠刺痛，開始怒刨貓砂盆。
兩只貓歪頭看着自己的鏟屎官，似乎嫌他的姿勢不夠優雅，現場教學。
沒一會兒就出現貓傳貓現象，大家一起刨貓砂，每一粒貓砂都在愉悅地飛揚。
沈亭州：……
雖然很可愛、很萌，但着急把貓帶回家的沈亭州，戳了一下秦司。
這一戳不得了，秦司情緒大爆發，“不要碰我，我都說我不認識那女人！”
好脾氣小沈不生氣，“你回頭……”
秦司又狠狠地刨了一下貓砂，恨道：“我不回頭，憑什麽要我放下？我放下了，那我過去十幾年都是一場笑話？”
“秦司。”沈亭州一言難盡地望着他，仍舊是那句，“你回頭……”
秦司暴怒，回頭瞪沈亭州，“都說不回頭，不原諒，不……”
看到身後那一長溜在刨貓砂的貓，秦司猶如被卡住脖子的小雞仔。
沈亭州正直且無辜地看着他，“我是讓你回頭看你家貓。”
秦司恨不能以頭搶地，鑽進貓砂，與這個糟心的世界徹底切割。
沈亭州小心又謹慎地問，“不過，你說的欺負……”
秦司把手從貓砂裏抽出來，指甲裏一粒砂迸濺到沈亭州眼裏。
秦司：……
沈亭州捂住眼，虛弱道：“你就算不想說，也不用物理攻擊。”
“……”秦司扶起他，滿臉歉意，“我真不是故意的，沒事吧，坐沙發上我看看。”
沈亭州只好找個地方坐下，仰頭讓秦司看他的眼睛。
秦司：“痛嗎？”
沈亭州：“痛。”
“你忍着點，我會輕一點。”
“好。”
“你放松，別眨得那麽厲害，手放下，我來。”
沈亭州克制着本能，在秦司的指導下，終于把眼裏的東西弄出來了。
秦司抽出一張紙巾遞過來，“擦擦吧。”
沈亭州淚眼模糊地道了一聲謝，眼睛酸痛感減輕了，他才發現自己的手機亮着屏，好像還通着話。
沈亭州拿起放沙發上的手機，剛才他似乎不小心給許殉打了一通電話，通話時長将近一分鐘。
見那邊還沒挂，沈亭州忙說，“對不起，我撥錯了。”
許殉的聲音很異常，“什麽痛、輕一點、我來，你在幹什麽？”
沈亭州一怔，随後反應過來這是他跟秦司的對話，內容很容易讓人誤會。
沈亭州扶額，“你聽我解釋。”
許殉說，“我聽着呢。”
“……”沈亭州：“我剛才眼睛進貓砂了，朋友幫我弄出來。”
許殉很會抓重點，确定完沈亭州的眼睛沒事，開始問貓砂的事。
沈亭州把秦司将貓寄養在他家的事告訴許殉。
許殉不可置信，發出振聾發聩般的質問，“你要養其他貓？那煦煦跟深深怎麽辦，你不要它們了？”
聽到他這句話，沈亭州感覺有人在他腦顱唱歌——
為所有愛執着的痛，為所有恨執着地傷，我已分不清愛與恨是否就這樣……
秦司看過來，沈亭州腦海裏的聲音消散。
他咳了一聲，起身走到陽臺安撫暴躁貓爸，“只是寄養兩天……”
-
挂了電話，沈亭州揉了揉眉心。
秦司呦了一聲，“有情況了？”
沈亭州擡眸，朝他投去古井無波的一眼，“你跟秦小姐怎麽回事？”
蛇打七寸，秦司一下子不吱聲了。
這下換沈亭州呦了，“你還真暗戀秦小姐？”
秦司宛如被猜中尾巴的貓，“你在胡說什麽？我跟她……怎麽可能！就是因為她，我才不喜歡女人。”
秦司出櫃的猝不及防，沈亭州茫然片刻，“你喜歡男人？”
秦司一臉牙疼的表情，“我既不喜歡男人，也不喜歡女人，我貓性戀，只愛貓！”
這才對嘛。
貓奴小沈表示認同，“那你跟秦小姐到底怎麽回事？”
這下秦司繃不住了，大吐苦水，“我跟她從幼兒園就開始做同桌，一直到高中才解放。”
哇。
好強的緣分！
在秦司的描述裏，秦詩瑤就是一個欺男霸男、魚肉同桌，無惡不作的形象。
任憑秦司說得多麽惱怒激憤，聽在沈亭州耳朵裏，也就是小學雞吵架。
沈亭州不是當事人不好評判，在秦司說完之後，拍拍他的肩膀以示安慰。
傲嬌小秦撥開沈亭州，“不要碰我！”
行行行，不碰。
沈亭州慈父般笑笑，包容地收回手。
秦司鄭重道：“這幾只貓就交給你了，少一根毛……”
沈亭州打斷他，“不掉毛的那是假貓。”
秦司也覺得自己無理取鬧，乖乖把嘴閉上，只囑咐了一句好好照顧它們。
沈亭州點頭，愉快地把八只貓帶回家。
-
沈亭州停止一切沒必要社交的活動，專心在家奶貓。
兩天的時間一到，秦司沖到沈亭州家裏上蹿下跳地挨個撸貓，把瘋癫演繹的淋漓極致。
沈亭州心道，就你這樣還單方面宣布不喜歡女人，應該是哪個女人會喜歡你？
沈亭州對着秦司搖頭晃腦地品評了一番，然後迅速加入撸貓大隊，跟秦司一塊上蹿下跳。
送走秦司跟八只貓，沈亭州打掃了一遍家裏，洗了一個澡，開車去了許殉家。
開門的保姆說，許殉在後院。
沈亭州從客廳直行過去，就看見抱着貓坐在秋千上的許殉。
今天有些冷，日光稀薄，寒風卷起枯葉，在這番蕭條的景象裏，許殉抱着貓的形象有幾分凄涼悲慘，孤兒寡父的，看起來很缺關愛。
沈亭州心頭浮起淡淡的愧疚，摸着鼻子走上前。
許殉擡起頭，抱着倆貓朝後退了退，“別靠那麽近，一身外面的野貓味。”
被變相指責的沈亭州心虛道：“我來的時候洗了澡。”
貓是一種領地意識很強的動物，如果在鏟屎官身上嗅到其他貓的味道，它們會非常生氣。
許殉沒說話，只是看着沈亭州。
沈亭州感覺他是在說，你的澡洗不掉你一身的罪孽。
He just wants to give every cat a warm home, is he wrong?
Shen Tingzhou thought it was correct, and he took out a cat snack from his pocket.
The two cats immediately jumped off Xu Xun's body and rubbed against Shen Tingzhou's feet, meowing.
As Xu Xun's eyes gradually turned resentful, Shen Tingzhou quickly handed over a small gift, "I bought it especially for you."
Xu Xun's expression gradually softened, and he took the gift. "Specially?"
Shen Tingzhou nodded attentively, "Yeah."
Xu Xun's mood began to improve and he lowered his head to open the gift.
Shen Tingzhou: Easy to grasp!
The housekeeper came out from the living room, digging the soil with a pickaxe in his hand.
Seeing this, Shen Tingzhou asked, "Do you need help?"
The housekeeper said, "No, just grow some wild vegetables. Doctor Shen, you two can continue chatting."
Shen Tingzhou was surprised, "You guys also eat wild vegetables?"
He had eaten bitter rice and had the impression that wild vegetables were bitter and astringent. He really couldn't imagine how the picky eater Xu Xun would eat wild vegetables.
The housekeeper smiled slowly, "When they are ripe, someone will dig them up naturally."
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand what was going on, but he always felt that the butler seemed to have said something very philosophical.
Following the butler's departing figure, Shen Tingzhou said enviously, "Sometimes I feel that the butler is like a wise man. I wish I could be half as wise as the butler when I get old."
Xu Xun uttered a single sound from his nasal cavity, neither too light nor too heavy.
Shen Tingzhou looked over and heard him say, "Just learn more about the yin and yang."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
The scumbag Xiao Shen successfully won back the hearts of Cat and Cat's father with small gifts and sincerity.
A family of four, ugh, two people and two cats spent a pleasant afternoon.
After returning home, Shen Tingzhou was still immersed in happiness, petting the cat and stroking the cat's soul.
Shen Tingzhou collected a lot of cat hair in the past two days. He used the cat hair from Qin Si's family to make some handicrafts, and rolled the cat hair from Xu Xun's family into small balls.
While I was hitting the ball with my forehand, my cell phone rang.
Shen Tingzhou pulled over and saw that it was Jiang Ji calling. He slid down to answer the call in surprise.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then he thanked Shen Tingzhou for speaking for him in the ward that day.
Hearing his depressed mood, Shen Tingzhou comforted him, "I'm just telling the truth. Don't take Lin Xueyan's parents' words to heart."
Jiang Ji said calmly: "His parents have completed the discharge procedures."
This was somewhat beyond Shen Tingzhou's expectations, but also reasonable.
Jiang Ji seemed to have walked into an open space, and his voice became much clearer. "I have figured it out. I will live a good life for myself in the future. Doctor Shen, you don't have to worry about me."
Shen Tingzhou encouraged him, "That's good, you are still young, and there are countless possibilities in the future."
Jiang Ji hummed, "Thank you, Doctor Shen. Goodbye."
Shen Tingzhou: "Goodbye, call me if you need anything."
Jiang Ji: "Okay, thank Miss Qin and the others for me as well."
Seeing Jiang Ji regain his spirits, Shen Tingzhou was very happy for him, and also hoped that he could get rid of He Yanting as soon as possible and start a real new life.
But Shen Tingzhou didn't expect him to get rid of it so quickly.
Two nights later, Zhou Zitan knocked on Shen Tingzhou's door.
Shen Tingzhou didn't have time to change out of his furry pajamas, and he opened the door amidst the rapid knocks.
Zhou Zitan looked very anxious, "Doctor Shen, my brother was beaten by my grandfather, come with me to see him."
Shen Tingzhou was dragged into the car by Zhou Zitan in a daze, with furry slippers on his feet.
Along the way, Zhou Zitan and Shen Tingzhou were very fast, and they were really afraid that they would go and report to Prince Yan halfway.
At Shen Tingzhou's strong request, Zhou Zitan had to sit in the passenger seat and Shen Tingzhou drove the car.
Shen Tingzhou glanced at Zhou Zitan who was in a state of anxiety and couldn't help asking, "Is he seriously injured?"
Zhou Zitan chewed his nails and said, "He was beaten with a cane. After that, he locked me up in the room and didn't even let me eat."
It seems that the boss has to behave like a grandson even when he is at home.
Shen Tingzhou was curious, "Why?"
Zhou Zitan shook his head, "I don't know either, it seems to be related to that duck..."
Shen Tingzhou reminded, "Xiao Zhou, be civilized to each other."
Zhou Zitan had to correct himself, "It's related to Jiang Ji. He left, and my brother thought it was my grandfather who did it, and the two of them started arguing."
Shen Tingzhou suddenly realized that Jiang Ji called him that day to say goodbye.
I guess she didn't want to implicate him, so she didn't make it clear.
Zhou Zitan has an unusual feeling for He Yanting, which can be felt at this moment. When the cane hits He Yanting, Zhou Zitan is more anxious and uneasy than He Yanting.
Shen Tingzhou sighed, took a detour through a small road, and sped up the car.
-
Arrived at the He family’s old house.
Zhou Zitan led Shen Tingzhou around from behind and said in a low voice, "My grandfather must not know about this."
He Yanting's room was on the second floor, and Zhou Zitan prepared a ladder.
He said sheepishly, "When I was little, I often sneaked into my brother's room like this, and sometimes I would sleep in his bed when he was not at home."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Xiao Zhou, are you such a fool?
Zhou Zitan led the way with water and food, and Shen Tingzhou followed closely with medicine.
There was an independent small balcony outside He Yanting's room. Zhou Zitan pried it open skillfully and then climbed in.
It was the first time for Shen Tingzhou to do such a sneaky thing, and he was not very experienced in the business. He had to be pulled by Zhou Zitan to successfully land on the balcony.
Just as Zhou Zitan was about to call He Yanting, someone knocked on the door.
Shen Tingzhou immediately pressed down Zhou Zitan's head, and at this time the door was opened from the outside.
"Yanting."
Zhou Zi detected the radar and mouthed, "It's my mother."
He Ranjie also brought food and medicine, "Get up and eat something."
A person slowly sat up on the bed, his voice was extremely hoarse, and had lost its original timbre, "Aunt, do you know where Jiang Ji is?"
He Ranjie put down the food and shook her head, "I don't know, are you hungry? I made you your favorite soup."
"I don't want to eat." He Yanting lay back down, "Girl, go tell him, if he has the guts, he can beat me to death."
He Ranjie sat at the head of the bed, "Don't be angry with your grandfather, he is doing this for your own good."
"For my own good, take away the person I like?" He Yanting was a little emotional and accidentally pulled the wound, and his face turned even paler.
"But he doesn't like you."
"One day I will like you. Even if I don't like you, it doesn't matter. As long as you are by my side, that's enough."
Shen Tingzhou glanced at Zhou Zitan, who lowered his eyes and remained silent, and patted him on the shoulder.
Zhou Zi raised his head and looked over, seeming a little puzzled.
...Shen Tingzhou looked away and continued to listen to the person inside.
He Ranjie was very clear about the stubbornness and ruthlessness in He Yanting's eyes.
It seems that the He family is all like this, they won't turn back until they hit the wall. Some things in the past made He Ranjie feel a lump in her throat.
She trembled and said, "Yanting, don't blame your grandfather, he just doesn't want you to be like your father."
The cruelty in He Yanting's eyes faded away. Looking at He Ranjie's moist eyes, he asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for more than ten years.
"What's going on with my mom and dad? Why doesn't my grandpa ever allow anyone in the family to mention her?"
He Ranjie's eyelashes trembled, and she dared not look into He Yanting's eyes again.
She had done three things wrong in her life, two of which were related to Zhou Zizhong, and the last one was about her brother.
Seeing that He Ranjie was unwilling to speak, He Yanting said angrily, "Aunt, you still refuse to tell me!"
Zhou Zitan frowned, a little bit unable to bear his brother calling him mom like that, and hesitated whether to go out. At this time, He Ranjie spoke.
"In fact, you have a younger sister, who is your twin. You both lived with your mother until you were three years old, and then she sent you back home alone."
A classic dribble run.
There are not many members of the He family, but there are many stories.
Shen Tingzhou raised his head a little and saw He Yanting who was equally surprised. He asked in disbelief, "I have a sister?"
"Wow, I have a sister."
Shen Tingzhou glanced at the delighted Zhou Zitan.
Xiao Zhou, a person who considers himself as a child of the He family from the bottom of his heart.
The author has something to say:
The melon is coming, the melon is coming.
Doctor Shen: So many melons.
