Tang Wan nodded and let Gou Xi come with her to the hospital.
Calling it a hospital isn't entirely accurate; it's more like a sanatorium, and a small one at that.
When Tang Wan and the others saw Chen Shuo, they found that his complexion was even worse than before.
Gou Xi, who had originally planned to have a serious talk with Chen Shuo, quickly went to his side when she saw him like this and asked, "What happened to you? Why do you look so haggard?"
"Have you not been eating properly? Food is essential for life; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal!"
Gou Xi still speaks like a machine gun, unleashing a long barrage of words at the drop of a hat, leaving Chen Shuo no chance to speak to her.
Finally, after Gou Xi finished venting, she stopped talking and looked at Chen Shuo, wondering what excuse he would make up to deceive her.
However, Chen Shuo didn't make up any excuses, and simply said calmly, "It's nothing."
This makes it even more suspicious.
Tang Wan looked at Chen Shuo's haggard face and then at the empty room in his room, and she roughly understood why things had turned out this way.
In Chen Shuo's eyes, his family members were probably already traitors, so it was normal that no one came to visit him when he was hospitalized.
Reason told Chen Shuo this, but what he couldn't let go of was his previous pride.
How could he possibly accept his home becoming like this?
They weren't like this before!
This is how Tang Wan first saw people who had been deceived.
Were Si Huai and his grandmother like this before?
However, Fu Wenzhi, who was standing next to Tang Wan, said in a low voice, "They are different."
Tang Wan: ? ? ?
Tang Wan felt that something was wrong.
Why can Fu Wenzhi guess what I'm thinking now?
I felt like I was invisible in front of Fu Wenzhi.
This feeling is very unpleasant.
Tang Wan didn't like it.
I feel insecure.
Seeing Tang Wan's slightly repulsive expression, Fu Wenzhi slightly softened his gaze.
His fingertips rubbed together slightly, realizing that he was still too hasty.
We should slow down a bit more.
Tang Wan is still quite wary of me, so I should wait a while longer.
However, such a thought was obviously fleeting, and Tang Wan's gaze soon fell on Chen Shuo again.
He has lost a lot of weight.
Chen Shuo used to be a spirited young man.
Although he has a sharp tongue, it's actually just because he doesn't like others talking about him.
Now it seems as if it has been forgotten by the world, lonely and desolate.
Tang Wan was silent for a moment, just about to say something, when she heard Gou Xi speak again: "What do you mean you're fine? You've gotten so thin, how can you say you're fine?"
Gou Xi has always been carefree and wouldn't care about Chen Shuo's melancholy mood.
Perhaps she wasn't completely oblivious, but none of these additional things mattered as much as her friend. That's why she pretended to know nothing and pulled Chen Shuo's wrist to sit on the table.
She took out a lot of candy and fruit from her bag.
Tang Wan also saw her take out the food she had prepared and place it in front of Chen Shuo, saying, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it will be the new year after we finish eating!"
Chen Shuo's eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
He looked up, glanced at his friends present, and finally lowered his head, saying in a tearful voice, "I...don't want...you...to pity me..."
"Anyway, I don't want to celebrate the New Year, so take your things and get out of here!"
He suddenly lost his temper and swept all the candy and fruit that Gou Xi had prepared onto the floor.
As for the food Tang Wan prepared, perhaps she was really hungry and a little reluctant to part with it, but the steaming dishes were safely left on the table.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ze, who was standing behind Gou Xi, quickly picked her up from the stool to avoid the onslaught of candies and fruits.
Gou Xi seemed stunned, her eyes red, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
Instead, Chen Shuo, acting strangely, said, "I don't want your pity! Get out!"
However, no one moved.
Gou Xi silently squatted down, picked up the candies and fruits on the ground one by one, and then placed them on the table.
Chen Shuo wanted to say something more, but he saw that Gou Xi, who had been smiling all along, was silently shedding tears.
She bit her lower lip, suppressing her sobs, but large tears fell to the ground, one by one.
Lu Ze, his face showing displeasure, finally couldn't hold back his temper and retorted, "What's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for so many years, we just wanted to spend the New Year with you!"
"It's not out of pity, how could we possibly use such words between us!"
"Chen Shuo, I haven't seen you in years. Has your Chinese language skills regressed to the Stone Age?"
"These candies were picked out by Xixi after a long time. They are all candies that she likes to eat and wants to share with you!"
"And the food on the table was specially made because Tangtang kept saying she wanted to eat with you and celebrate the New Year together."
"We're friends, how could we possibly think that way about you!"
Chen Shuo seemed stunned by Lu Ze's scolding, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Finally, he closed his eyes, his face growing increasingly pale.
Seeing this, Tang Wan sighed, grabbed Gou Xi who was still stubbornly staring at Chen Shuo, reached out and hugged the aggrieved Gou Xi, gently patted her back, and coaxed her softly.
"Okay, okay, Chen Shuo is being unreasonable, he's bad."
"Waaah..." Gou Xi finally couldn't hold back her tears and sobs, and burst into tears.
Snot and tears were falling together; he looked terribly pitiful.
While Lu Ze was disgusted by Gou Xi's snot, he took out a tissue to wipe her nose, smearing it all over Gou Xi's face.
Lu Ze continued to nag, "Hey, hurry up and wipe your snot, don't let it get on Tangtang, it'll make her all dirty."
"Wah!" Gou Xi cried even louder because Lu Ze disliked her.
"Waaah...hiccup..." She cried until she hiccuped.
He was still muttering defiantly, "Chen Shuo, you're really bad!"
"Lu Ze is bad too! Waaaaah!"
Lu Ze frowned, covered his ears, and looked disgusted.
In the end, Tang Wan comforted the extremely aggrieved Gou Xi, pulling her outside to stop her from playing with these bad things.
As they walked, they muttered to themselves, "Let's go out and play, we're not playing with them anymore."
"Mmm!" Gou Xi, still sobbing, hadn't forgotten Fu Wenzhi, after all, Fu Wenzhi was the only one who hadn't offended her.
But Tang Wan grabbed Gou Xi's hand and said casually, "If he doesn't come out, he'll beat someone up for you."
"good!"
Upon hearing that Fu Wenzhi would help her beat someone up, Gou Xi's eyes lit up immediately.
They've regained their energy and spirits.
She clenched her fist and said in a tearful voice, "Give them a good beating!"
