Chapter 76 Morbid...
This efficiency is faster than he imagined. Knowing that Mu Jingyan and his team had just left, Qu Tao calculated the time and found that they would arrive in the evening.
"How did you leak the news to the Mu guy?"
"Hey, don't mention it." The voice that was originally raised suddenly dropped several degrees. "In order to pass the news to him, I went to their gate no less than ten times from last night to this morning." "
Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a big meal later."
After hanging up the phone, the old man looked at the chessboard. No matter how he played, he was doomed to lose.
"No more games, let's eat."
"No, in two more moves, I'll win."
"Taotao," the old man coughed twice and said earnestly, "I'm old, I can't stand being hungry, can we play in the afternoon?"
"......," Xi Mozhou's treacherous behavior must have been learned from the old man, Qu Tao refused to give in, "Then don't move the chessboard, let's continue in the afternoon."
The old man looked at him gloomily and went to the kitchen. Qu Tao looked at the yard through the glass window.
Xi Mozhou woke up in the morning and took the big golden retriever to the yard for training.
"Xi Xiaozhou, go, pick up the ball."
The big golden retriever looked at the flying ball and sat still. Xi Mozhou touched its head like coaxing a child.
"Be good... remember your current name. Go and pick up the ball."
"Be obedient, I'll give you meat later."
The big golden retriever still sat there motionless. Xi Mozhou looked helplessly at the glass house and happened to meet Qu Tao's eyes.
"You deserve it."
Qu Tao lip-synced to him with a schadenfreude. Thinking of the call from Han Feng, he stood up and walked towards the yard.
"Okay, it's been called by its original name for three years, how can it be changed so quickly? Fengzi just called, Mu Jingyan and the others have already packed their bags and left. You should think about how to find an opportunity to talk to Shi Jun."
"Don't think about it. He will definitely go to the hospital tonight. I have arranged someone in the hospital. Let's go to the hospital tonight."
Sure enough, after dinner, Xi Mozhou received a call from the hospital.
"Mr. Xi, the boy in the photo is here at the hospital."
.......
In the hospital corridor, Shi Jun is wearing a beige sweater, light blue jeans, and white sneakers, looking like a college student with a youthful vigor. However, the scarf around his neck doesn't match his outfit and looks awkward.
When he arrived at the ward, Shi Jun pulled the corners of his mouth, thinking that the smile on his face was natural without any flaws, and then he opened the door.
"Mom, are you feeling better today?"
The mother and son have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. Thinking that one day soon, she would pass away, leaving Shi Jun alone and helpless.
The first time Shi's mother saw him, her eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist, and she spoke while holding back her sobs.
"Junjun, aren't you on vacation? Where have you been these two days? Why didn't Mom see you?"
Shi Jun didn't dare look into Shi Mu's eyes. After sending the nurse away, he sat on the stool in front of the bed and held Shi Mu's bony hand.
"My teacher introduced me to a job, so I've been a bit busy these days, so I didn't come to the hospital to see you."
"Are you tired? Have you eaten?" The sobs that could not be suppressed in her throat, Shi's mother paused for a moment, then continued, "Junjun, Mom's disease cannot be cured, Mom can't drag you down anymore, you arrange for Mom to be discharged from the hospital, and we can go home, okay?"
"Mom, I have already paid the medical expenses, you just cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and don't think about other things."
"Junjun, the medical expenses are not a small amount, Mom doesn't want to..."
The sobs that could not be suppressed finally broke out into tears. Shi's mother held Shi Jun's hand, her eyes full of heartache and reluctance.
"Junjun, mom knows that you have borrowed a lot of money from teachers and classmates. Mom doesn't want you to be burdened with so much debt after she dies. You are still young and have such a long way to go... How are you going to pay it back alone?"
"Mom..." Shi Jun interrupted her unfinished words, with red eyes and crying, "Mom, you are my only relative. For my sake, can you please stop saying sad things? Let's get treatment, okay?"
Shi's mother looked at him and stroked the back of his hand with her fingertips. Finally, she couldn't hold back and tears rolled down her eyes.
Shi Jun took the tissue next to her and gently wiped her tears, as if he was talking to Shi's mother, but also to himself.
"Mom, it will be fine, believe me, everything will be fine!"
"Junjun, Mom..." Shi's mother burst into tears again, "Mom is worried about you."
"I know, Mom, I'm not tired, really, as long as you can get better and stay with me, I won't be tired at all."
After Shi's mother fell asleep, Shi Jun wiped his tears and walked out of the ward. Seeing Xi Mozhou and Qu Tao sitting on the bench in the corridor, he was stunned for a few seconds and walked over.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Qu Tao did not answer his question, stood up from the bench, stared at the scarf around his neck, and spoke softly.
"Are you okay?"
Shi Jun lowered his head, stared at his toes, and seemed to think for a while before speaking.
"The friend request that morning was not from me."
Qu Tao always treated him as a child, worried about scaring him, and even more afraid that he would think too much, so he quickly explained the purpose of his visit.
"I know, we are not here to question you."
"Then why are you here?"
Shi Jun finally raised his head, and seeing the undisguised heartache in Qu Tao's eyes, he lowered his head again.
"I chose this path myself, I don't need other people's sympathy, you go."
"We are not sympathizing, we want to help you."
"No need."
"But..." Qu Tao didn't finish his words, Shi Jun had already walked towards the elevator, he had no choice but to look at Xi Mozhou for help, "You should talk to him."
Xi Mozhou gave him a soothing look, and quickly caught up with Shi Jun in front.
"Don't leave, let's talk."
"I don't think I have anything to discuss with you."
With a stubborn look on his face, Xi Mozhou no longer pondered whether his words would hurt him, and just said what he wanted to say.
"You are just a substitute for him. He beat you to the hospital last time. What about next time? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Even if it's as you said, you chose the path, what about your mother? What if something happens to you before your time? Do you want her to die before you?"
Seeing that Shi Jun's expression had relaxed, Xi Mozhou continued to persuade him earnestly.
"We will help you with your mother's medical expenses. Leave him, study hard in your university, accompany your mother well, and don't become his pawn again, okay?"
This was the first time he was patient with someone other than Qu Tao.
18 years old is the best time in life. Like Qu Tao, he felt sorry for this child.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it. I like to stay by his side, even if I'm just a pawn."
Shi Jun said, looking at Qu Tao beside Xi Mozhou.
"His target has always been you. Protect yourself and don't add strangers as friends."
After Shi Jun finished speaking this time, he ran out without giving the two a chance to speak.
Qu Tao chased him a few steps, and raised his voice unwillingly towards his back, "What about you? Why don't you learn to protect yourself?"
"When two people are together, tolerance is a good thing, but there must be a bottom line. If you don't want to leave him, you can stay with him, but you have to learn to turn your face and know how to protect yourself. Too much tolerance will only make him more and more demanding and more and more shameless towards you."
Listening to Qu Tao's words, Shi Jun smiled sadly. He knew very well that because of his indulgence, Mu Jingyan was getting heavier and more cruel.
It's just that... the physical pain again and again made him slowly develop a morbid pleasure.
Especially watching Mu Jingyan's unrequited love, torturing him and himself.
Being stuck in the same mud, he got great satisfaction.
He hated this terrible world, and hated his birth even more!
If his mother left, he didn't think about continuing to live, because no one would be worth his love!
