Chapter 54 54 "How are you going to accompany me?"
There are some small wounds on my hands. They look scary, but they don’t hurt at all.
But He Jingsui still pulled her into the house, took out the medicine box, and half-knelt in front of her to apply medicine to her.
After disinfecting with alcohol, he dipped a cotton swab in the medicinal wine. Before applying the medicine to her, he looked up at her and said softly, "It might be a little painful, just bear with it."
Chen Zhan nodded, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of pain."
Despite this, He Jingsui was still very careful when applying the medicine. The cotton swab gently scraped the edge of the wound, and he blew gently towards the wound.
It really doesn't hurt, but it's a bit itchy.
Chen Zan's fingers curled up subconsciously.
"Does it hurt?" he asked her, looking up.
The cautiousness in those eyes made Chen Zhan startled for a moment, "...No."
"I'll be gentler, and it will be fine soon."
After saying this, He Jingsui lowered his eyes and continued to apply medicine to the wound on her hand, and then covered it with a Band-Aid.
He patiently instructed like a doctor, "Don't get wet for the next two days."
"Um."
He finally let her go and quickly picked up the things on the table and put them into the medicine box.
Then he stood up and sat next to her.
He pulled her into his arms and held her scarred hand with heartache.
He tilted his head slightly downward, leaning against hers, his drooping eyelids hiding the distress in his eyes. "Don't do this again, okay?"
He held her tightly in his arms, snuggling with her unwillingly.
He said helplessly, "I can't bear to see you get hurt."
Not even a little injury can be seen.
Chen Zan leaned in his arms and laughed silently. Of course she knew this.
but.
She looked up at him in his arms and said seriously, "But it's all worth it."
"He Jingsui, do you still remember the day you first invited me to your house?"
"Remember."
Chen Zhan leaned back into his arms and continued, "That was the first time I realized that you were not what we saw."
In the eyes of outsiders, He Jingsui is a favored child of heaven who is the center of attention. He is dazzling, unrestrained, and does whatever he wants. It is hard not to like such a free and open-minded person.
But after entering his world, Chen Zan slowly realized that the loneliness in his heart was actually devastated.
"I don't want you to be like this. That flower garden may not really be a big deal, but I want you to understand that as long as I'm by your side, you're not alone."
She looked really beautiful and cute when she said sweet words to him seriously. He Jing curled the corners of his lips and kissed her forehead with cherishment and love.
Chen Zan's cheeks were burning hot.
Talk to him about the flowers in the flower garden, "However, I'll have to trouble you to take better care of them in the future."
She closed her eyes and fantasized in her mind, smiling sweetly, "Next spring, we will go to see the flowers together."
"Okay." He Jingsui scratched her hair with his fingers and said lovingly with a smile, "You have the final say."
The two clung to each other on the sofa for a while, and then a cell phone rang crisply. But they didn't separate, and Chen Zhan was still nestled in his arms.
He Jingsui put one hand on the man's shoulder and reached into his pocket with the other hand to feel for his cell phone.
He glanced at the phone screen briefly and saw He Jinzhou's name on the caller ID.
His gaze paused.
The ringing continued, and the crisp sound disturbed people and made them feel uneasy.
Chen Zan raised her eyes to look at He Jingsui. Because of the angle she was looking up at, she couldn't quite see the coldness in his eyes. She just kept asking him, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Her gentle voice pulled him back to reality, and He Jing then pressed the hang-up button with his finger, "It's a harassing call."
"oh."
But after a few seconds, the "harassment call" came again.
He Jing could no longer bear it, so he let go of Chen Zhan and went to the window with his phone. He stared at the caller's name with disgust for two seconds, pressed the answer button, put it to his ear, and said in a cold voice, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The tone was so rude that He Jinzhou on the other end of the phone choked, "He Jingsui, how can you talk to me like that!"
"Don't say anything, just hang up."
“…”
He Jingsui's attitude made He Jinzhou very angry, but the father and son were not in the same place, so he could not get angry. He could only hold back his anger and said in a hard voice, "Grandpa's birthday is tomorrow, you should come back."
He Jingsui's grandfather, He Hongliang, is in his octogenarian years, yet remains vigorous and energetic. The He family's business fortune began with He Hongliang. In his youth, He Hongliang was the most resolute and decisive figure in the business empire, possessing not only a brilliant mind but also strategic and decisive capabilities. The He family's fortunes grew ever larger under his leadership. To ensure the family's continued success, he began cultivating He Jinzhou from a young age. As he aged, he stepped back, and He Jinzhou took over the entire He family business, a position he still holds today.
The majesty in his eyes has continued to this day. He is a man of his word and no one in the family dares to challenge his decisions except He Hongliang's wife.
He was the one who forced He Jinzhou to make the call and ask He Jingsui to return to the old house for this birthday party.
But He Jingsui didn't buy it at all. He went against him and snorted coldly, "You want me to go back?"
“…”
His father was so angry on the other end of the phone that he jumped up and down, and he didn't give him any good words, "Do you think I want you to go back? I'm telling you, He Jingsui, I didn't expect you to go back for Grandpa's birthday."
Every word He Jinzhou said was as hard as ice-cold stone. The palm of his hand holding the phone was trembling. He Jingsui gritted his teeth and endured his ruthlessness.
"It's for your offspring, isn't it?" He questioned him word by word in a low voice, filled with a terrifying sense of oppression. "He Jinzhou, is this how you behave in front of me?"
He could guess that this call was made by He Hongliang, and the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered.
Those cold words shattered him.
He hung up the phone in disappointment, his hand tightly gripping the phone, trembling slightly as if he was about to crush it. His eyes, piercing through his chest, were like a beast out of its cage, cold and full of hatred.
The sound of answering the phone was not quiet. Chen Zan could hear it while sitting on the sofa. She could tell that He Jingsui was in a bad mood and that he was talking to his father on the phone.
Bored, Chen Zhan picked his fingers and subconsciously turned his head to look towards the window.
They had ended the call. He Jingsui stood by the window, his silent figure like a gray wall. Although there was a shadow of sunlight on his body, she felt that he was shrouded in darkness. It turned out that such a dark world had always existed in his heart.
She stood up and walked over to him, hugging him from behind.
Clasp your hands tightly.
A pair of hands wrapped around his waist, and He Jing turned his head to see Chen Zan popping out from behind him.
Her gentle eyes and brows were the most effective medicine for him to heal his pain. The coldness in his eyes faded away. He turned around and held her slender body in his arms.
She didn't hear much of the conversation just now, but she could tell from his sadness from the few words he said.
Chen Zhan hugged him tightly, put his ear close to his heart, and listened to his steady and strong heartbeat. "He Jingsui, are you okay?"
"It's okay." He rubbed the back of her neck with his fingers, his tone a little absent-minded and light.
Chen Zhan raised her head from his embrace, trying to find the truth behind the words "it's okay". When her eyes met his, he smiled, took her hand, and led her to the sofa.
This unnatural calmness only served to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. Chen Zhan leaned against him, quietly waiting for a moment before cautiously probing the question, "Were you... talking to your father on the phone just now?"
He Jing then turned his head.
"I'm sorry, I just overheard it." She apologized to him first, and then said, "It seems that your relationship with your father is not very good..."
He Jing then corrected her and said that it was not just like that, but it has not been good for these years.
Ever since Ye Qingfei's death, the relationship between He Jingsui and He Jinzhou has reached a freezing point. They rarely talk on the phone in recent years because neither of them can talk properly.
You stab me, I slap you back.
This gave Tao Ling an advantage, as she played a tolerant role in front of He Jinzhou, saying that she understood He Jingsui's pain and also understood He Jinzhou's difficulties.
Tao Ling played the role of a good wife and mother to the fullest. Her well-educated, gentle and sensible character consolidated her position in the He family.
He told Chen Zan that He Jinzhou called him not because he wanted to, but because it was He Hongliang's birthday.
The conversation between father and son was not pleasant.
Chen Zhan asked him, "What are you going to do for your grandfather's birthday?"
He Jingsui was unusually silent.
"He Jingsui, why don't you go back?" The person in his arms suddenly spoke softly.
He Jing then met her clear eyes.
"You are a child of the He family. The birthday party is also your grandfather's birthday party. It has nothing to do with your father." Her soft voice was like a spring breeze that soothed the wounds in his heart. "If you are unhappy, don't care about what he says."
There was hesitation in her eyes, and her slender eyelashes trembled twice. "If... you need me, I won't leave today..."
In front of him, Chen Zhan actually didn't have the courage to say such words.
Sure enough, when his dark and deep eyes looked at her, Chen Zan's brave heart instantly softened into a puddle of mud.
She panicked and avoided his deep gaze.
At this juncture, He Jingsui was still interested in teasing her. He curled his lips into a wicked smile and began to self-assertively misinterpret the meaning of her words.
"So, our Zhanzhan is planning to accompany me?"
That's what I mean.
But when Chen Zan looked at He Jingsui's frivolous expression, he couldn't help but think of some other scenes.
My heart is beating violently.
She struggled to break free from He Jingsui's arms and even moved slightly to the side.
"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy alone."
After all, he looked very unhappy just now.
"Have you thought it through?" He suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. Chen Zan was caught off guard and was almost lying down in his arms.
His face was full of evil intentions, and his eyebrows were lazy.
He looked calm and composed, just waiting for her to take the bait. "How are you going to accompany me?"
