Chapter 24 Actually, you care a lot [Bonus Chapter 150] ...
After scolding the two people, the doctor pushed open the door and left.
Inside the ward, the three people looked at each other in bewilderment. Only Ning Buyi and Zhu Yanhe knew the truth, while Li Chang only knew that his eldest son had come in while he was live-streaming.
Li Chang asked him, "You jerk, what's wrong with you? Don't do anything rash!"
Zhu Yanhe didn't speak, standing quietly to the side; he should pretend he didn't know.
Ning Buyi took a deep breath and said, "I originally had a chance to choose one million, but now I only have twenty thousand left."
I'm so angry. He can choose not to take the 20,000 yuan, but he can't let a million yuan be reduced to 20,000 yuan.
"What happened? Did you win the lottery but the prize money got reduced?"
He was starting to wonder if Ning Buyi was dreaming. What was he babbling about? How could he possibly win a million?
"No, no, it's my sugar daddy sister. She bought me a million votes, but even if I win, I can only get one-fiftieth!"
The boy was getting agitated again as he spoke, so he slammed his head on the hospital bed and pounded on it, trying to calm himself down.
"Sister Sugar Daddy" Zhu Yanhe looked at the sky, the ground, and out the window, but avoided looking at Ning Buyi. He was afraid that if he saw that silly look, he wouldn't be able to help but laugh and would be punished by Ning Buyi.
But Li Chang was very carefree. He laughed out loud: "Hahaha, don't be like that, and your sugar daddy might not even give you a million."
Ning Buyi listened to his laughter, looked up at him sideways, and said with a mischievous grin, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Li Chang then stopped laughing, realizing that his takeout order was safe: "No, I wasn't laughing, you must have misheard me."
He wouldn't listen to any explanations, climbed off the hospital bed, grabbed Li Chang, and bumped his head against Li Chang's stomach: "You can't laugh, I'm so sad, you can't, ahhh!"
Zhu Yanhe:...?
Li Chang found it even funnier. Seeing this, Zhu Yanhe took a second to think and then chuckled. Ning Buyi, hearing the sound, shifted his target and started bumping into Zhu Yanhe: "You're not allowed to laugh either!"
Who invented Ning Buyi? It's so funny.
Seeing that the two were about to hug each other, Li Chang stepped forward and pulled Ning Buyi away, saying, "Alright, alright, let's go home if there's nothing else."
After what happened these past few days, Zhu Yanhe realized that Ning Buyi was just a seemingly resilient but fragile little guy who was too easy to kill.
The two hitched a ride home with Zhu Yanhe, with Zhu Yanhe saying, "Aren't you his good brother? What's wrong with giving me a ride?" Li Chang even emphasized the words "good brother".
Night fell, and a gentle breeze drifted into the empty room, ruffling the hair of the person on the bed. The man looked down at the chat box with Ning Buyi, wondering if he should offer his condolences as a sugar daddy.
Just as he was pondering this, a message came from the other end, resolving his doubts.
Ning Buyi: Sister sugar daddy, do you like me?
What does this mean? Zhu Yan became wary; what wicked thoughts was he having now?
Zhu Yanhe: "?"
The other side replied very quickly.
Ning Buyi: You're so good to me. They say if you like someone, you'll treat them very well.
Theoretically, that's correct, but even if we take a step back, couldn't he have just been pitying you?
What Zhu Yanhe didn't realize was that pitying someone wouldn't mean personally taking care of him for half a month, wouldn't stop working to rush to the hospital when he heard or saw that something had happened to him, and wouldn't give him a million dollars that he couldn't hear just to make him happy. Even King Zhou of Shang and King You of Zhou were no better than that.
With a slight movement of her fingertips, Zhu Yan replied with a message.
Zhu Yanhe: But I will scold you.
Ning Buyi: A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love; I'd be willing to be hit even if you did.
The man's fingertips hovered above the electronic screen, hesitant to drop, still unsure of what to reply after much deliberation.
Zhu Yanhe: Since you think I like you, why don't I confess to you? Haven't you thought about why?
This should be enough to dissuade Ning Buyi, but what he didn't expect was that Ning Buyi was the number one person in the world who couldn't understand the unspoken message.
Ning Buyi: I know, confessing your feelings is something only boys should do!
Zhu Yanhe remained silent. He didn't want to take things this far with Ning Buyi. The young man's "sugar daddy sister" was a potential romantic partner, but for Zhu Yanhe, it was just a brotherly relationship. Continuing like this wouldn't lead to a good outcome, so he decided to cut ties decisively. Rather than giving Ning Buyi this illusion, it was better to shatter it sooner rather than later.
Zhu Yanhe: I'm sorry.
He then pressed a few buttons and added the boy to his blacklist.
Ning Buyi sat there blankly, staring at the message that he couldn't send.
The moon hung in the dark night, its light falling sadly like tears, a few specks landing on Zhu Yan and the French windows in the room. The man's gaze quietly reflected this, while a few specks, seen through the small window of the storage room, fell into the boy's dim and lifeless eyes.
The sliver of moonlight lingered in their eyes, and they spent a sleepless night.
"Did you go out to steal last night?" Li Chang was startled when he saw the boy with panda eyes.
"Why did my sugar daddy block me?" Ning Buyi yawned, his eyes red.
Li Chang frowned and asked, "What? Why?"
He didn't believe that person disliked Ning Buyi. Even if someone was rich, they wouldn't just casually spend a million on someone else, as if they were treating Ning Buyi's place like a charity.
I asked her if she liked me.
"Then what?"
Ning Buyi didn't want to talk anymore, so she took out her phone, scrolled through the chat history, and handed it to him.
Li Chang took the phone and scrolled through the messages from beginning to end. His expression became hesitant, and he gradually formed a guess in his mind.
"I think she still likes you, but you know, rich people usually value social status and family background when it comes to marriage, so there's nothing you can do if she likes you."
These two are so unlucky. They clearly like each other, but they are forced to miss each other because of his son's lack of strength. Li Chang sighed.
Ning Buyi's pupils lit up upon hearing this: "Really?"
He thought that the sugar daddy didn't actually like him because she wouldn't talk to him unless he did. Even though she kept transferring money to him, she probably just found him annoying.
“Really, you have no idea how many of these things happen in real life.” Li Chang handed him a bowl and chopsticks and continued, “I have a friend’s cousin who is like that. His family is very rich, and he had an eight-year-old first love that didn’t work out.”
His intention was to comfort Ning Buyi, to tell her that although they couldn't be together, she still liked him.
Ning Buyi looked dejected, which obviously had the opposite effect. He didn't cheer up even in the live stream, but the viewers just assumed that he was still sick.
"You scared me to death yesterday, you little rascal."
"Jianjian, why don't you take a couple of days off?"
"I'm so afraid something might happen to you, baby. You should rest for a while."
...
Jingjing came over when she saw him going live, connected to the microphone and asked, "Jian, why didn't you reply to my messages yesterday? You scared me to death!"
Ning Buyi said slowly, "It's okay, I didn't see the message, I don't need to rest."
Ning Buyi, who was always optimistic, was now like a wilted flower.
"Go and rest! Those dark circles and bloodshot eyes of yours are no joke!" Jingjing said anxiously, thinking that she shouldn't be tormenting herself like that.
Ning Buyi couldn't resist the repeated persuasion from his viewers and Jingjing, mainly because Jingjing had created a whole forest of lemons.
Once the live stream is turned off, the phone is tossed aside, and the eyes are closed, it's an unwavering routine.
On the other side, Zhu Yanhe, also sporting dark circles under his eyes, clocked in at the company and happened to run into Zhu Zhu, the young lady who was also clocking in. Seeing her brother's tired appearance, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother, did you go out to steal last night?"
She found it hard to describe how she felt; it wasn't that she hadn't slept enough, but rather that she felt like she had stayed up all night.
"No need for you to trouble yourself."
Zhu Yan left a message and walked straight inside. Zhu Zhu pursed her lips; she was used to it anyway.
The man rubbed his temples, sat down in the leather chair, and subconsciously turned on his computer. Ning Buyi had already gone to sleep by this time, so he had no choice but to give up and pick up the unfinished business from yesterday. However, his thoughts were not on this, and Ning Buyi's image kept appearing in his mind. He shook his head, got up and walked to the window, trying to wake himself up with the glaring sunlight.
He's still Ning Buyi's good brother, isn't he?
Ning Buyi didn't do any live streams for two days in a row, and no one knew where he went because he forgot to bring his phone when he left.
There was a sign posted at the entrance of the internet cafe that read: Closed for business, reopening to be determined.
"What are we going to do?" Ning Buyi turned his head and asked. He was dragged away as soon as he woke up that day, and only realized he didn't bring his phone when he got on the plane.
Li Chang didn't care, since Ning Buyi wouldn't have to spend any money, and it was a trip abroad, so whether Ning Buyi had a cell phone or not was irrelevant. The key was to stop his son from being heartbroken any longer; let everything go with the wind!
"I'm going to H country with you to chase after my idol." Li Chang put on his sunglasses and chuckled, his mind already on vacation in Malaysia.
The boy took off the sunglasses from his face and put them on his own: "Who is it?"
"Sun, I missed it last year." Li Chang's eyes sparkled. That's Sun, the goddess! What's that saying again? Youth has no price, chasing Sun is for now!
Ning Buyi said "Oh," referring to the professional player who was exceptionally skilled at playing Xiang, who hadn't been able to stream for the past few days.
The man frowned as he looked at the streamer's profile picture, which had been offline for two days and the empty chat box. Where did he go?
At that time, Ning Buyi was sitting in the stadium, surrounded by the cheers of fans. His brother was even more exaggerated. When Sun came on stage, he stopped performing, revealed his Sun support shirt, and cheered with the crowd.
Zhu Yan swiped his finger into Jingjing's live stream, casually sent two gifts, and typed a few words in the background.
Where are the others?
Jingjing looked at the pop-up gift and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, boss, but I don't know where Jian'er went. I haven't seen him online since I advised him to rest that day, and he hasn't replied to my messages."
Zhu Yanhe left after dropping off two more gifts. Jingjing had a big smile on her face, thinking that their boss had indeed taken a liking to Jian'er.
He took out his phone and sent Pei Qing a few messages to see if there would be any news from Ning Buyi.
Pei Qing stared at the message, his mind filled with questions. What did Zhu Yan and the little streamer who contacted him want? But he decided to be honest and say he didn't know either.
After searching in vain, he rubbed his hair in frustration, thinking, "This idiot won't do anything stupid, will he?"
Of course not. Ning Buyi still has things to do. With such good money, how could he bear to part with it?
