Chapter 22
Lin Mei and Tu Chenglin, who did not sleep well at night, rushed to the hospital as soon as it got light.
I feel uneasy and can't sleep.
Fortunately, when they arrived, they saw Tu Mian, who was happily asking Chen Baixuan to buy breakfast.
Judging from his energetic look, who could tell that Tu Mian was injured?
"Slow down, don't order anyone around, Chen Baixuan. Mom just bought you breakfast downstairs."
There are many restaurants near the hospital. Even though I was still worried, I was also concerned that the children might not have had breakfast, so I bought some and brought them up.
I also bought Chen Baixuan’s share.
Just as the group was having breakfast, a slightly fat middle-aged man walked into the ward. He was dressed very coolly in such a hot summer day, but his clothes and shoes were covered with some large English words.
Tu Mian didn't know that it was the brand's trademark, but Lin Mei knew it very well.
She walked up to the man and asked him what he was doing there, but she didn't notice the expression on Chen Baixuan's face when he looked up and saw the man while he was eating noodles.
The man's stern expression faded, and he warmly shook Lin Mei's hand. "Are you the mother of the child A-zi hit? I was so busy yesterday that I had cramps. I had no time to spare. I've already paid the hospital bills. It was A-zi who was ignorant. Please bear with me."
Chen Baixuan sheepishly stepped forward and held the man back: "This is my dad. I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday."
Tu Mian was fine, so Lin Mei didn't hold on to the matter. Looking at Tu Mian's expression, he seemed to be familiar with the other person, otherwise Tu Mian would never order others around so easily.
Since we are friends, the way we get along with each other is naturally different.
When both sides are friendly, naturally nothing dirty will happen.
After the man introduced us, we learned that Chen Baixuan's father was a well-known local businessman and a very enthusiastic person. He also planned to treat everyone to breakfast at a local restaurant that was said to be very famous.
Too bad everyone was full.
However, since the hospitalization fee has been paid and the doctor said that Tu Mian is fine, he can be discharged.
Chen Baixuan was also going home with his father. He put the note with the contact information in Tu Mian's hand.
"You can call me anytime in the next few days. If you come to Hong Kong again, please look for me. I also want to see if you have any cooler moves. I'll learn them when you get better."
This Chen Baixuan!
Is it a big colander?
Tu Mian really wanted to rewind time, as Tu Yin's suspicious eyes had already drifted over.
When Chen Baixuan was no longer in sight, Tu Yin leaned close to Tu Mian's ear and said, "What did that kid just say? I haven't asked you yet, when did you two become so close? Tell the truth, or your popsicles will all end up in my stomach when you go back, and you won't be able to eat anything ice-cold anymore."
Tu Mian shuddered. It was so hot today. He would die if he didn’t eat ice.
My sister is so cunning!
Tu Mian took a deep breath. The more urgent the situation was, the more he should not panic.
"He's a very outgoing person. You see, his father is the same way, too. Hong Kong people are very welcoming, so don't overthink it. He said 'cooler moves' because I told him I knew Go. He's a Go fan, and I showed him some moves. He admired me and said he wanted to play Go with me next time. We all like Go, so we're good at it."
Seeing her serious expression, Tu Yin seemed to believe it and did not pursue the matter any further. Tu Mian silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If her sister knew that she secretly went out to play skateboard with Chen Baixuan at night, not only would all the popsicles in the refrigerator go into her sister's stomach after she got home, but even next year's popsicles would go into her sister's stomach!
Forgive her, the popsicle is something that cannot be given up. Tu Mian apologized in his heart.
Feeling guilty, she didn't see the playful smile on her sister's face.
This little guy still wants to deceive her now? It's too early.
However, this kid is becoming more and more cautious now, and he pretends to be serious, but he hasn't noticed his habit of looking up when he tells a lie.
Last night, Tu Yin woke up just as Tu Mian closed the door.
Tu Yin followed the two children carefully without being noticed by them.
At first, Tu Yin thought that Tu Mian was curious about what skateboarding was like and asked Chen Baixuan to show her. Tu Yin also looked at them with admiration.
But everything changed when Tu Mian took the skateboard and stepped on it, and Tu Yin almost exposed herself.
At that time, she thought that if it was exposed, it was exposed. She would teach this naughty child a lesson for not being obedient at all.
But she was a step too slow, and before she could come out to stop him, Tu Mian had already jumped.
So energetic and so awesome!
At that moment, Tu Yin's heart beat faster. She had seen Tu Mian playing the piano smoothly and she had also seen Tu Mian playing chess calmly and effortlessly.
The only thing is, I have never seen Tu Mian so energetic and handsome.
Especially when Tu Mian did a kickflip, Tu Yin almost exclaimed in admiration.
Tu Yin likes Tu Mian like this very much.
So when she found out that the two of them finally remembered the time to come back, Tu Yin hurried over and was finally the first to arrive at the room, so she could pretend that she had been sleeping the whole time.
Tu Yin thought that she must buy a skateboard for her sister when she returned home.
When Tu Mian was jumping, she saw through the moonlight that he had a pair of wings growing on his back.
Tu Mian can fly, and the skateboard will help her fly.
The trip to Hong Kong ended very quickly. Due to hand problems, Tu Mian was unable to participate in many activities. However, just seeing the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong was worth it, and Tu Mian did not feel too regretful.
I came to Hong Kong with light luggage, and this time I returned with a full load.
If she could have brought more, she might have done so.
Even if you only bring it to people you have a good relationship with, it's still a lot.
But Tu Mian's heart was jumping with excitement. She could hardly wait to go back. It would be even better if she could see the surprised expressions on her friends' faces.
Tu Mian has always understood that love does not have to be equal, but love needs to be responded to.
Her family, teachers, and friends all love her. They don't mind that she is a special child and are willing to shower her with love. Tu Mian is not an unresponsive dummy. She also wants to return this love.
This kind of Tu Mian is more likable.
Especially for Zhong Yuqi.
After she came back from Hong Kong, she was surprised to find that the first person she wanted to contact was Tu Mian.
As someone who grew up in a good family environment and whose parents' divorce was not a secret, Zhong Yuqi had to witness all the tricks used by both sides when dividing their property. It was hard for her to maintain her original innocence, as she entered the adult world too early.
In addition, the family relationship on her father's side is complicated. After her grandparents pass away, I'm afraid there will be another ugly battle for inheritance. Beneath the seemingly sweet care, there is actually a black blood connection.
Zhong Yulan is a good mother, but not a good mother in the secular sense.
She doted on Zhong Yuqi, so when Zhong Yuqi wanted to give up the piano she had studied for many years and learn the violin instead, she didn't say a word of objection, because in her opinion these were trivial matters not worth mentioning.
But she is also a ruthless mother. She has never hidden the cruelty of the business world, the hypocrisy of family affection, and the fickleness of love from Zhong Yuqi. Not only did she not hide it, she also wanted Zhong Yuqi to see it clearly.
Zhong Yuqi is not an ordinary child. She will be the heir to her own company and her father's company in the future. It is not a good thing to raise the heir too simple.
This also means that Zhong Yuqi has a great responsibility on her shoulders, and her wealth has come at a price from the very beginning.
Through what she heard and saw, Zhong Yuqi had already understood part of human nature at a young age.
Hobbies and interests are the only place where she can express her emotions freely, which is why she once cared so much about Qin Yumin.
Here she can fail, blame her failure on others, and choose to give up.
It's normal for her to like Tu Mian.
Tu Mian is a very direct person. What she likes is what she likes, without any other thoughts mixed in. Just like when she first met Zhong Yuqi and praised her black and straight hair, she really felt that way, not just complimenting her or trying to please her because of her background.
She is a very simple person, and she is also a genius in the secular sense, which makes her simplicity even more precious.
When Zhong Yuqi is with Tu Mian, her mood will involuntarily brighten up, and all the negative emotions will be suppressed in a dark corner, no longer causing her pain.
This time when she went to Hong Kong, Zhong Yuqi also bought things for Tu Mian.
Something that was beyond Tu Mian's understanding.
A violin.
Tu Mian lowered his eyes and looked at the Fei's chocolate in his hand, speechless for a moment.
No way?
Damn it, how do I deal with this situation?
She really wanted to contact Lin Mei at this moment and ask her mother how to deal with this situation.
She didn't know what to do anymore. Her body was still here, but her soul had already left.
Zhong Yuqi took the chocolate from Tu Mian's hand and smiled happily.
"This is Fei's chocolate. I love it. Guo'er's gift touched my heart. I love it so much."
Her words brought Tu Mian back to his senses, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I know you like sweet things. Their chocolate is delicious. I thought you would like it."
Hearing this, Zhong Yuqi smiled even more brightly.
"You know I like sweet things, but I don't think I've ever told you."
"Ah, that's obvious. The last time you came to my house for dinner, your favorite dishes on the table were Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Sweet and Sour Pork. They all have the same characteristics, so it's easy to see."
She actually cared about herself so much that Zhong Yuqi's heart was almost melted by the sweetness.
She put down the chocolate and hugged Tu Mian: "You are so nice."
"You're the one who's lucky. I know you're thinking of me, but this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Zhong Yuqi let go of Tu Mian. "This is nothing. Just like you buying this chocolate, I bought this violin just like you bought chocolate. This is nothing to me. I just want you to like this gift. Just accept it."
This violin is not as easy to make as Zhong Yuqi said. It was made by a famous violin maker in the industry. The materials used are also very good. It was pre-ordered a long time ago.
Even though she receives a considerable amount of New Year's money every year, it still makes Zhong Yuqi feel a little overwhelmed.
But Zhong Yuqi still wanted to give such a gift to Tu Mian.
Her father once said that the more expensive the gift you give to a woman, the less likely she is to forget it.
If possible, Zhong Yuqi hopes that Tu Mian will never forget her for the rest of his life.
Tu Mian, who didn't know the value of it, looked at the deep red luster on the violin, but she still couldn't accept it.
Even though Zhong Yuqi said that this was a very cheap price for her, it was not a cheap price for Tu Mian.
"A violin can only shine in the hands of someone who understands it. In my hands, it will only gather dust. I am not the owner it expects, you are."
Seeing the uneasy expression on Tu Mian's face, Zhong Yuqi knew that Tu Mian could not accept this violin. It didn't matter, there was still a long way to go.
"Then I'll teach you how to play the violin as a return gift for your chocolate. Don't refuse this time, or I'll be angry."
Rather than giving her a violin, Zhong Yuqi's offer to teach her how to play the violin would be more acceptable to Tu Mian.
One is willing to learn, the other is willing to teach, and the two of them are having a great time.
For Zhong Yuqi, the experience of being a young teacher was more novel than she had imagined.
Tu Mian always learns things quickly, including the violin.
Zhong Yuqi didn’t know what her teacher thought, but she felt that she was happier.
The sense of accomplishment from teaching a gifted student is incomparable to any other experience.
Teaching Tu Mian will not make people angry.
Parents who tutor their children often end up getting so angry that their livers hurt and would rather work overtime. The reason they get angry is that no matter how they explain, their children just don't understand. Children often make mistakes on some knowledge that they think is very basic. This is because they have grown up and their thinking is different from that of children. Just like how can a person with a lot of knowledge think the same as a person with an empty head?
But teaching Tu Mian is not like this. Zhong Yuqi is not a very professional teacher, and there are some things she cannot express, but Tu Mian can understand her expression from her gestures, and can also accurately tell what Zhong Yuqi wants to express.
This is so amazing. If Zhong Yuqi hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that there was such a person as Tu Mian in the world.
Because she liked Tu Mian, she interpreted this phenomenon as Tu Mian knowing her too well.
This made her feel even better. She doted on Tu Mian to the point that if Tu Mian was the one at fault, she would blame the other party for leading Tu Mian astray and making him the poor one at fault. In short, everything was the other party's fault.
Her tolerance for Tu Mian is growing, just as her love for him is growing deeper.
