don't be cheap

After the doctor announced that Qi Ao could sit up, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days ago, Qi Ao was lying on the bed, except for one hand, he could hardly move the rest.

Shen Bei had to wipe and clean his body every day. The two young lads would inevitably experience a surge of blood, but because of their health, they were also extremely aggrieved.

Now that Qi Ao can move around slowly, Shen Bei doesn't have to do everything personally.

At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the hospital waiting for Gu Xiaoyan and Ji Hong to arrive.

It is now completely winter, and this small town surrounded by mountains and rivers is also extremely cold.Shen Bei was wearing a thick down jacket, tremblingly waiting for someone at the door.

After a while, an off-road vehicle drove up ahead.Shen Bei took a closer look and saw that it was Ji Hong's specially customized "JH6666" license plate number.

After raising his hand towards them, Ji Hong flashed his headlights in response, and parked the car in the parking lot.

Gu Xiaoyan jumped out of the car and hugged Shen Bei, "Dad!"

Shen Bei hugged him back, touched his head, and felt that Gu Xiaoyan seemed to have grown taller, reaching the position of his chin.

"My dear son, do you really miss Dad?"

Gu Xiaoyan buried her head on Shen Bei's neck and shoulders, and said in a buzzing voice, "Well, I really want to."

Shen Bei smiled happily, not noticing Gu Xiaoyan's abnormality.

Gu Xiaoyan followed Shen Bei and was led to the ward by him, with his head slightly lowered, responding to Shen Bei's words from time to time.

Walking beside him, Ji Hong sighed in his heart when he saw that the child looked a little happier when he saw Shen Bei.

***

Entering the ward, Qi Ao was eating an apple on the bed, which was cut into small cubes by Shen Bei and tied with a toothpick.

One bite, very satisfying.

As soon as Ji Hong entered the room, he smiled, "You have a good life!" He walked over and picked up another toothpick and apple and stuffed it into his mouth.

"That's not true." Qi Ao asked Gu Xiaoyan to sit beside him, and asked Ji Hong: "Why did you follow me, is the office busy?"

Ji Hong said: "I'm so busy!" He found a stool and sat down, and while eating an apple, he said, "Didn't I send you Xiaoyan back intact? Take care of him again."

Qi Ao nodded, and handed Gu Xiaoyan an apple, Gu Xiaoyan asked him: "Uncle Qi, how do you feel now? Are you better?"

"It's okay, I can get out of bed and walk around, and we'll go home in a few days." Qi Ao glanced at Ji Hong calmly, and stroked Gu Xiaoyan's head, "Why do you feel that you've lost a lot of weight?"

Before Ji Hong could speak, Gu Xiaoyan hurriedly said, "No, Uncle Ji cooks delicious food for me every day, and I've gained a few catties."

"Well, that's good, if he abuses you, you have to tell me."

Gu Xiaoyan smiled when he heard the words, lowered his head and fed the apple into his mouth, got up and walked out the door, "I'll help my dad get the food."

Shen Bei was cooking in the cafeteria and asked them to come up and sit first.Gu Xiaoyan didn't want to stay in the same space with Ji Hong for the time being, and left immediately after speaking with Qi Ao.

Qi Ao watched Gu Xiaoyan walk away before asking Ji Hong with a downcast face: "What's going on? How could Xiaoyan confess to you?"

Ji Hong also lost the smiling face just now, and sighed: "I don't know either!"

"Did you do something to misunderstand him?"

Ji Hong thought about it carefully, but still shook his head, "I go out early and come back late every day, and he is also in class, so we don't have much time to see each other, how do I know that this kid likes me all of a sudden!"

Qi Ao sighed inwardly, Ji Hong was handsome and unrestrained, he had never lacked suitors in both the demon world and the human world, although he has never been determined, he is not someone who cannot be entrusted with his life.

If Gu Xiaoyan was another little demon, maybe Qi Ao would let Ji Hong be with him for a try.But Gu Xiaoyan is Shen Bei's son, and he sees him as his own son.

Now he suddenly heard that his son fell in love with his youngest son. Although the demon world has always looked down on such things as seniority, Qi Ao has to take Shen Bei's feelings into consideration.

What's more, Gu Xiaoyan has only just come of age in the demon world, for Ji Hong and Qi Ao who are too old, he is really just a child.

Ji Hong knew what Qi Ao and Shen Bei were thinking without guessing, he said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyan is just a child to me, and I won't have any thoughts about him."

Qi Ao gave him a squinting look, "You have no idea, but what about him? He is at the age when he is just beginning to fall in love. If he likes someone, he won't give up so easily."

Ji Hong was so blocked by Qi Ao's words that he didn't know what to say, he scratched his hair impatiently, "Why is it him!"

Qi Ao looked at him like that, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "You can go to W City, let him calm down first, and I'll ask Shen Bei what he thinks. After all, we are Gu Xiaoyan's closest friends. The family is gone, find a chance to have a good talk with him."

"What about after talking?"

Qi Ao shrugged and spread his hands, "If Xiaoyan is mature and serious, then let him do what he wants."

"Damn! How can I face you and Shen Bei in the future!" Ji Hong was so anxious that he almost jumped.

"You have to know that Gu Xiaoyan is already an adult demon. He has his own thinking, and he knows what he wants to do. If he needs it, Shen Bei and I will definitely support him to the end."

Qi Ao paused for a moment and continued with a smirk: "What's more, if you are really together, you will call me Dad. This title sounds pretty good."

"Go!" Ji Hong waved his hand and didn't want to listen to him anymore. He stood up and looked at Qi Ao, "You and Shen Bei persuade him, we are really not suitable. I'm going back to the office!" After speaking, he hurried out ward.

Qi Ao was left alone and continued to eat fruit leisurely.

***

There were quite a lot of people at the meal time, Shen Bei followed the queue and waited to get the meal, after a while, Gu Xiaoyan came to him.

Shen Bei asked: "Why did you come down?"

Gu Xiaoyan stood with him, his voice was not loud enough for Shen Bei to hear: "I'll help you."

Shen Bei laughed happily when he heard the words, "Our Xiaoyan is getting more and more sensible."

On the way back, Shen Bei pondered for a long time before deciding to speak: "Xiaoyan, do you have something on your mind?"

Gu Xiaoyan, who had been walking with his head buried in his feet, paused, raised his head and looked at Shen Bei, "Dad..."

Shen Bei took him to sit on a chair by the corridor, and asked softly, "Is there anyone you like?"

Gu Xiaoyan obviously didn't expect Shen Bei to ask such a question, he didn't know what to say for a moment, his two big eyes turned bluntly, and his face started to turn red, he looked very cute.

Shen Bei thought that his guess was right, "Is it a classmate in your class? Let me guess who it is, the little flower deer sister?"

Gu Xiaoyan shook his head, "No."

"Who is that? That little koi? Or a mouse? Could it be that black bear?"

"Dad! Not at all!" Gu Xiaoyan couldn't bear Shen Bei's guessing one by one, so he gritted his teeth, "It's Ji Hong."

"Oh! Ji Hong, what?" Shen Bei didn't react at first, and stood up after muttering in his mouth, "Who are you talking about? Ji Hong? The Ji Hong I know?"

"Well, Uncle Ji, Ji Hong." Gu Xiaoyan lowered his head and said the name, his eyes began to turn red, and he couldn't pretend to be okay in front of his father.

"But he doesn't like me."

Seeing that Gu Xiaoyan suddenly began to purse his lips, Shen Bei quickly sat down and put his arms around his shoulders, "Son..."

Gu Xiaoyan turned around and hugged him, sobbing, "Dad, I feel bad."

Shen Bei sighed, and patted Gu Xiaoyan's back lightly, feeling that his hands' bodies were not as strong as before, and his heart ached.

"Dad is here!"

Not long after Gu Xiaoyan sobbed, he stopped and called Shen Bei back to the ward, "Uncle Qi is still waiting to eat."

Shen Bei wiped away the tears on his face, and said distressedly: "No hurry, do you want to tell me?"

Gu Xiaoyan was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "Actually, I have nothing to say. I don't even know when I started paying attention to him. When I realized it, I couldn't keep my eyes off him."

Shen Bei thought that apart from him and Qi Ao, the person Gu Xiaoyan gets along with the most is Ji Hong, and it is normal for him to have feelings for him.

But with Gu Xiaoyan's expression now, it is obvious that Ji Hong rejected him.

He didn't know what to say. After all, no one wanted his son to get involved with his friends. Although they were not human, the age gap was real.

What's more, Ji Hong's status is distinguished, and he is not on the same level as Gu Xiaoyan. Shen Bei will also worry about whether his son will suffer and be bullied.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Bei held Gu Xiaoyan's face in his hands, squeezed his nose clean, looked into his eyes and said to him: "Son, if you are serious, then Dad will definitely support you."

Gu Xiaoyan asked confidently: "Really? Dad, he said let's not say that he disagrees, let you and Uncle Qi know, and you two will never agree."

"How can he know what you and I think, Uncle Qi? You have to remember that no matter when, as long as it is something you want to do seriously, we will definitely support you."

Gu Xiaoyan hugged Shen Bei fiercely and said, "Thank you Dad!"

Shen Bei smiled lightly and said, "Silly son, thank you for what you say."

He patted Gu Xiaoyan on the head, pulled him up and walked back to the ward, "Okay, it's okay. If we don't go back, your Uncle Qi will faint from hunger, don't cry, huh?"

Gu Xiaoyan sniffled and finally smiled happily.The heavy stone in my heart was removed. Although I still felt the heartache of being rejected, I felt more free and easy.

He knew exactly what he wanted, and now that he was recognized and encouraged by his family, he no longer had any worries.

The clean and fresh boy walked towards the ward with big strides, his eyes were full of maturity and seriousness that did not match his appearance.

He really likes Ji Hong.

One day, I will catch up with him.
