Su Yingxue wiped her tears while talking on the phone.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must stay away from people that Tan Zhengchu disliked, especially Tan Zhengmo.
After returning this time, I completely cut off all contact with him and never let Tan Zhengchu worry about me again.
On the other hand, Tan Zhengchu continued to fight the virus in his body with his tenacious will.
Just to wait for Su Yingxue to return and reunite the family.
Tan Zhengchu was lying on the hospital bed, breathing rapidly, his eyes so heavy that he could hardly open them.
But when he heard Su Yingxue's familiar voice coming from the receiver, a hint of warmth flashed across his face.
It was as if her voice had its own magical power that could dispel the pain in his body and inject strength into his weakness.
He tried to stay strong, his voice weak but full of concern: "Yingxue, be careful outside. I've been worried that something might happen to you. When you come back, I'll have to let the third and fourth brothers follow you at all times. With them around, I can feel more at ease and ensure your safety."
After a pause, he added worriedly, "Tan Zhengmo is a cunning guy. I always feel uneasy when you are with him. Who knows what bad things he might be up to. Don't trust him easily."
Su Yingxue's eyes were red, and she nodded repeatedly in response: "Zhengchu, don't worry about me, I know what's going on. You should take good care of yourself. As soon as I finish my work here, I will go back to find you without stopping. Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming that Tan Zhengchu was fine for the time being, I felt relieved.
She raised her eyes and saw Tan Zhengmo not far away.
He walked towards her with a faint smile on his face, and greeted her, "Little one, let's go."
Tan Zhengmo keenly caught the smile in her eyes, raised his eyebrows, and jokingly said, "Why, are you in such a good mood after receiving the call from big brother? It seems that big brother made you very happy."
Su Yingxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and responded perfunctorily: "Well, I feel more relieved knowing that he is fine."
Tan Zhengmo rolled his eyes and suggested excitedly: "Why don't we not go out to eat and come to my house. I'll make barbecue for you. My cooking skills are pretty good and I guarantee you'll enjoy the meal."
Su Yingxue quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No, thanks to your help today, I will treat you to a meal to thank you for your kindness today."
The smile on Tan Zhengmo's face froze for a moment, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that Su Yingxue had always kept a distance from him, and the reason she was willing to have dinner with him this time was just to repay a favor.
Although he was extremely reluctant and didn't want to be so estranged from her.
But I really didn't want to embarrass her, so I could only swallow my disappointment and accept the reality silently.
He sighed secretly and forced a smile on his face again: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. The guest should follow the host's wishes."
But I was thinking that after this meal, I might never have such an opportunity to be so close to him again.
Tan Zhengmo led Su Yingxue and walked towards a Hunan restaurant with a conspicuous sign with familiarity.
He raised his hand and pointed at the plaque above, and introduced with a smile: "Su Yingxue, this 'Tongxianghui' is the most upscale Hunan restaurant in Myanmar. The store is beautifully decorated, and the taste is even better. Many people from Longguo like to come here to satisfy their cravings."
Su Yingxue looked up and saw that the shop door was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, exuding an elegant atmosphere.
Just as the two were about to enter the door, Su Yingxue saw that the ground was wet and greasy.
My heart tightened, and I slowed down my steps and moved forward cautiously.
Tan Zhengmo noticed her caution and took two quick steps, trying to reach out and grab her sleeve, and whispered, "The ground is slippery, be careful."
Su Yingxue waved her hand nonchalantly, saying calmly: "No, I just want to be able to walk by myself."
The smile on Tan Zhengmo's lips froze, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, he smiled awkwardly and retracted his hand.
I still feel a little uncomfortable, but I can't say much.
…
Tan Zhengchu had just hung up the phone with Su Yingxue, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw the wound on his finger that was still bleeding.
He couldn't help but frowned and was about to find something to wipe it.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open with a creaky sound.
"Daddy!" Joyful and childish cries came one after another.
It turned out that seven children, Xiaoqi, Dabao, Liubao and others, rushed in like a group of little birds.
They ran straight to Tan Zhengchu's bed, laughing and joking.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tan, supported by the servants, slowly walked into the ward carrying an exquisite food box.
Seeing this, Tan Zhengchu subconsciously hid his injured hand under the quilt, not wanting to scare the children.
He forced a smile on his face and greeted softly, "Grandma, why are you here?"
Old Mrs. Tan looked at Tan Zhengchu distressedly and said angrily, "How can I feel at ease if I don't come to see you? I am worried about the suffering you have suffered these days. I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite food, come and try it."
As he said this, he signaled the servant to open the food box.
Xiao Qi climbed onto the bed swiftly and sat down next to Tan Zhengchu. She held his arm with her little hand and said coquettishly, "Daddy, are you feeling better? We all miss you so much."
Tan Zhengchu touched Xiaoqi's head and said gently, "Daddy is much better now. He feels more energetic after seeing you."
As he was speaking, Liu Bao, with his sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of blood coming out of the quilt.
His little face turned pale instantly and he screamed, "Daddy, why is your hand bleeding!"
This shout instantly made the attitude in the ward tense.
Dabao reacted the fastest and ran out the door, shouting, "I'm going to find Uncle Lin Quan!"
Liu Bao hurriedly took a few tissues from the table, rushed to Tan Zhengchu, and said in a crying voice: "Daddy, please wrap it up quickly."
But the blood still couldn't stop oozing out.
Old Mrs. Tan was also panicking. She staggered over and said in a trembling voice, "Zhengchu, how did you do this? Does it hurt?"
Xiao Qi's eyes were red, and he tried hard to hold back his tears. He reached out and hugged Tan Zhengchu, choking with sobs to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Daddy, we are here."
Tan Zhengchu felt warm in his heart as he looked at his panicked but concerned family members.
Those days when I worked alone and no one cared about me were like a passing cloud, and now I am surrounded by the love of my family.
For the first time, he felt happiness and satisfaction so truly that his eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.
Lin Quan was extremely anxious when he received the message from Dabao.
He walked hurriedly, almost jogging into the ward.
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were fixed on the blood beads that kept oozing out of Tan Zhengchu's fingers.
His face suddenly became solemn and his expression became serious.
When Tan Zhengchu saw Lin Quan coming in, he smiled bitterly.
With a tired voice, he confessed to everyone helplessly: "Lin Quan, grandma, I cut my hand... I cut it myself. This virus always makes me sleepy, and I really have no choice but to cut my finger with a knife to stay awake."
