Chapter 20
Xing Zhao didn't know how to answer this unknown question, or rather, Xing Zhao in the past would not lie.
If someone else asked him such a question, Xing Zhao would probably tell the truth: I don’t know, I’m not sure, and the chances of the operation being successful are very low.
He doesn't think he has low emotional intelligence. He even thinks that everyone should have the courage to face the truth. This is a life lesson that everyone must go through.
But he couldn't say it to Wei Ge. He gently rubbed Wei Ge's head and spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid that too loud a sound would scare the child in his arms.
"It will be fine. Your father's illness will definitely get better." This was the first time Xing Zhao comforted someone. He felt that something in himself had changed in front of Wei Ge.
Cold.
The coldness towards others, the arrogance that made him indifferent to anyone's random comments, changed in front of Wei Ge.
He can be polite and gentle to anyone, but he always does his job impartially and will not show too much emotion in front of others.
He could not care about the outside world's gossip, but last time he wanted to know how Wei Ge would view himself if he knew the rumors about him.
The appearance of this child subtly changed his life and everything he had followed as principles for the past thirty years.
But he didn't dislike this change, and even felt warm when he was with him.
It's the feeling of having family.
Xing Zhao became more and more certain that the last time Wei Ge cured him of a certain disorder was only because of this emotional confusion.
When a person activates a new sense, other functions may also be triggered.
He loves Wei Ge. He wants to treat him well for the rest of his life and wants him to stay by his side.

Wei Ge and Xing Zhao took the elevator upstairs. They heard a violent coughing sound coming from the ward in the distance. It was Wei Mingzhe's voice, which was recognizable at the first glance.
The two people in the corridor looked at each other, and both of them tacitly did not speak, nor did they return to the ward, but stood at the corner and watched.
Watching Wei Mingzhe cough up blood, his body couldn't stop shaking for a while.
Seeing Jiang Lin turning her head and secretly wiping away her tears, she made a joke about Wei Mingzhe with an indifferent look.
Not until the ward had returned to its initial calm did Wei Ge and Xing Zhao return to the room one after another.
"Why did it take so long? Your mother is hungry." Wei Mingzhe smiled at the two of them. If Wei Ge hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Wei Mingzhe was so seriously ill.
"There are too many people queuing up. The food here is delicious. Why don't we eat at the door? I'm afraid you'll be greedy." Wei Ge also joked with Wei Mingzhe and raised the takeaway box in his hand. It was the most expensive old brand nearby.
There was no way around it. Xing Zhao couldn't stand a fly-in-the-wall restaurant. Wei Ge and Xing Zhao had lived together for a long time, so he naturally knew that this man had a picky taste.
Those who don’t know would think that Xing Zhao is some super rich man.
Moreover, the taste and ingredients of the food cooked by Xing Zhao's nanny are of the highest quality.
Of course, this was also Wei Ge's guess. Anyway, it tasted different from the school cafeteria. Wei Ge had never eaten food made by top chefs, and their family could only be considered slightly wealthy.
School cafeteria, yes, Xing Zhao went to their cafeteria to eat that day. It wasn’t really a meal, he just seemed to have taken a few mouthfuls of rice, and it seemed like it was a fake move.
I don’t know what he is going to do, probably to look at the menu and learn from others. Didn’t he say he wanted to open a shop in the school cafeteria?
This kind of work shouldn't actually be assigned to Xing Zhao. He's too picky about food. It's not that he can't taste anything, but that this man has no intention of tasting it at all.
The last three people still ate in the ward. Not only Wei Mingzhe felt greedy, but even the big brother next door was a little restless.
Originally, my eldest brother had no intention of recovering and had already lost hope in life.
That night before going to bed, he suddenly turned to Wei Mingzhe and said, "Brother, I think both of us can recover from our illnesses."
"how?"
"I also want to try how delicious the one we had today is."
Every time-honored brand has its own reasons, and a five-star time-honored brand is simply a step up.
After returning home that day, Wei Ge intentionally or unintentionally asked Jiang Lin about Wei Mingzhe's condition, even though he already knew the truth.
Jiang Lin's answer was similar to what he had originally imagined. It roughly meant that his father's illness was not that serious and he should go back to school.
Xing Zhao was sitting in the guest room. He didn't go out to disturb the conversation between the mother and son, nor did he want to interfere with the Wei family's educational methods.
Wei Ge has grown up a long time ago and he has the right to make his own decisions.
The moon was very round that night. Wei Ge was sitting on the rocking chair on the balcony with a glass of ice cola in his hand. The ice in the cola had melted completely, and even the bubbles in the glass disappeared little by little, but he didn't even take a sip.
Xing Zhao couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and thought of going to Wei Ge's bedroom. Wei Ge's bedroom door was half closed. The child didn't come to his senses until he walked behind him and put on Wei Ge's coat.
In fact, he was not thinking about anything. In the past three hours, his brain seemed to have crashed.
"Are you going back to school tomorrow?" Xing Zhao spoke, breaking the tranquility in the air and even Wei Ge's mind.
Wei Ge turned to look at Xing Zhao. For a moment he didn't react to what Xing Zhao said. He just stared at him with his bright eyes.
Xing Zhao showed no signs of impatience. He reached out and gently touched Wei Ge's forehead, then asked in a softer and clearer voice, "Are you going back to school tomorrow? If you want to stay home with your dad, you can ask for leave from school."
University courses are not that important. Wei Ge really wants to be with Wei Mingzhe at this time, but Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin probably don't want to.
It may even bring pressure to Wei Mingzhe.
"Yes." Wei Ge's family is different from others. At least at this time, the three of them all know it.
Wei Ge cannot stay at home to take care of Wei Mingzhe.
"I'll come back on the weekends. My dad doesn't want me to miss school."
"Okay, then we'll go home together tomorrow, and I'll come with you next week."
The president of ARKI is so idle every day. He looks glamorous at the company, but becomes Wei Ge's full-time driver when he gets home.
The next day, Wei Ge stayed in the hospital all day, helping Wei Mingzhe with massage, delivering meals, and even personally making a nutritious meal for Wei Mingzhe.
Wei Ge rarely cooked at home before. One reason was that his cooking skills were not very good, and the other was that Jiang Lin took care of the house, leaving no room for him to cook.
Today he made it under the careful guidance of Jiang Lin. The first time he almost exploded the kitchen, but the second time he really looked pretty good.
However, Jiang Lin did not interfere from beginning to end. She was very happy that her son was going to make a loving lunch for his father for the first time.
After all, Jiang Lin knew that Wei Mingzhe might not have many opportunities to eat what Wei Ge made.
It's even possible that this time will be the last.
Wei Mingzhe was eating the meal made by Wei Ge. It wasn’t actually delicious, but tasted normal.
But in Wei Mingzhe's eyes, it is already a rare achievement for his son to be able to cook a dish with normal taste.
And Jiang Lin said that Wei Ge made every step of this dish himself.
He said that the little brat had grown up and knew how to cook for him.
But when Wei Ge left, tears still fell. Wei Mingzhe appeared tough on the surface, but he was actually very fragile inside.
On the day Wei Ge left, Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin talked for the whole night, and they talked about things that had been tacitly understood before.
"I may not be able to accompany you and your son."
Wei Mingzhe's eyes were a little red. No one would believe that cancer could be cured. Such low-probability events would hardly happen to ordinary people like them.
His life is not a novel. The author can't just write something to make a dying person healthy again.
Besides, he knew his own physical condition better than anyone else. The taste of blood in his mouth was getting worse day by day. Wei Mingzhe was in a lot of pain, but he endured it and didn't show it.
He knew that Jiang Lin could feel it. The two of them had been together for so many years that they almost knew what the other person was going to take just by raising their hands. How could Jiang Lin not know how miserable Wei Mingzhe was right now?
But he heard Jiang Lin say with a smile: "What are you talking about? What if we are the novel?"
Jiang Lin always jokes. In fact, Wei Mingzhe has been overwhelmed by many things over the years, but in the end he relied on Jiang Lin to get through it.
This woman has an inexplicable strength.
Wei Mingzhe is no match for him, and he knows it.
Although Jiang Lin has never worked, she is very capable and comes from a good family. If she hadn't had some business acumen and made some money over the years, Jiang Lin would still want to marry him.
Wei Mingzhe is absolutely not worthy of Jiang Lin.
It was his luck to meet Jiang Lin.
"Don't say such unlucky things. Our family is already much better off than others." Jiang Lin reached out and held Wei Mingzhe's hand. Wei Mingzhe, who was originally a little fat, has lost a lot of weight these days.
The skeleton of the hand became extremely clear.
She just pulled Wei Mingzhe's fingers and gently stroked the protruding skeleton on Wei Mingzhe's hand with her two fingertips. The skeleton was bluish and looked very thin.
"At least we don't have any financial pressure, husband. No matter what happens, it will pass." Jiang Lin looked up at Wei Mingzhe. She held back the sob in her throat and smiled brightly at Wei Mingzhe.
Wei Ge's eyes followed Jiang Lin's, and seemed to have a kind of tolerant luster towards everyone and everything in the world, but also unexpectedly strong.
-
Wei Ge fell seriously ill after returning to Lushui. In fact, he had hardly encountered any setbacks in his life.
Although Wei Mingzhe's illness did not crush him, it almost drained his energy.
He is not the type of person who can think of solutions to any problem in a timely manner. In fact, he is very timid most of the time.
So he is gentle to others and has an active mind.
Wei Ge's personality means that it's okay for him to suffer a little loss outside, but if he keeps suffering small losses, then so be it.
Sometimes he envied Xing Zhao very much. Xing Zhao gave people a feeling of keeping strangers away. At first glance, he was the type who could protect others as well as himself.
Wei Ge is different. Wei Ge can’t protect others, nor can he protect himself.
When I was a child, I was often sick because of my thin body and was bullied by my classmates at school. At that time, everyone called this behavior a joke between classmates.
It wasn't anything that involved physical harm, like writing something on his desk, blocking him at the entrance of an alley and demanding money from him.
But no one beat him because Wei Ge was rich and paid quickly.
I feel like I'm very good and you're welcome to come next time.
So Wei Ge liked Xing Zhao very much, but he couldn’t explain what kind of liking it was.
In short, he likes someone whose personality complements his own. Xing Zhao has something that he doesn't have, and he admires him very much.
