After being coveted by old men for many years, I quit

Zhou Cheng slowly clenched his hands beside him.

The nurse did give an ultimatum yesterday, saying clearly that his mother's condition is stable and she can be discharged from the hospital. There are not enough beds in the hospital, so the beds should be freed up for other patients in need. In fact, it is he who has been unable to pay the operation fee for a long time. reason.

He is not a thick-skinned person, the reason why he repeatedly shirks is because he really has no other choice, he is in a difficult situation and has no other choice.

Now he either paid the operation fee immediately, or he had to take his mother away.

However, thinking about his dilapidated rental house, there is no condition to take care of an unconscious person.

"Miss Nurse..."

He opened his mouth with difficulty, but as soon as he spoke, the woman standing in front of him interrupted him impatiently.

"You don't need to say, within today, you have to go through the discharge procedures no matter what. I have done my best, Mr. Zhou. I hope you can be a little self-aware."

After the nurse finished speaking with a cold face, she staggered away from him and walked in the opposite direction.

Zhou Cheng lowered his head, took a deep breath, and after calming down, he opened the door of the ward.

As in the past, the woman lying on the bed still hasn't woken up, her quiet face seems to have stopped at the moment when she lost consciousness, without a trace of life.

Zhou Cheng went out to fetch water as usual, watching the water flow down, a nerve in his mind suddenly burst.

The pillar that had supported him all this time fell apart in an instant and turned into ruins.

He covered his eyes and slid slowly along the wall to sit on the ground, suppressing a painful hiss from his throat.

No one can tell him what happened to all this experience, and no one can tell him how he should go in the future. He can only go on numbly, day by day.

Weeping bitterly for a while in the shared bathroom, he returned to the ward with the basin in hand, took good care of his mother as before, and then left.

Walking out of the hospital gate, Zhou Cheng took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, looking at the white clouds floating under the blue sky, waiting for the other end to answer the call.

The phone was connected quickly, and a man's deep and mellow voice came, "What's the matter."

Zhou Cheng's throat rolled, but no sound came out.

At the other end, when He Xiao saw the name displayed on the screen, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he put down the signature pen in his hand. Although it didn't take him a few seconds to sign the name at the end of the page, the person in front of the desk The secretary was still waiting for him to sign the papers.

An Ning stood in front of the table, watching the scene quietly, her eyes rippling slightly.

She hadn't seen her boss show such an expression for any job, so she couldn't help being a little curious about the identity on the other end of the phone.

He Xiao didn't get a reply, and after waiting for a while, he asked again, "What's wrong?"

"...Do you have time now?" The voice from the receiver was a little weak.

His eyes moved, "Yes."

After thinking about it, he added, "I'm in the company."

The other end was silent for a while, "Then I'll go find you now."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the man looked down at the screen, and slowly rubbed his fingers against the edge of the phone a few times. His slightly absent-minded eyes meant that he was thinking about something.

In the end, he put the phone back on the table, signed the contract, and said at the same time, "You go to the first floor later, pick someone up for me, and bring him directly to my office."

An Ning reached out to take the document, but what the man said made her slightly stunned, "...Okay."

She walked out of the office with the documents in her arms and walked to the door. The confusion in her heart made her turn her head.

What caught my eye was a man sitting behind his desk, looking out of the window with his head tilted. On his handsome and mature face, his thin lips curved slightly...

Chapter 14 Confirmed that before Zhou Cheng passed, smelling the smell of alcohol all over his body, he went back to the rental house temporarily, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went by car.

When he arrived at the location, he stood under the steps and looked up at the towering building in front of him, as if he had already seen his future life...

After handing over the documents, An Ning waited at the front desk. After waiting for more than half an hour, she still didn't see anyone.

She lowered her head and pushed aside her sleeves, looking at the watch on her wrist.

Looking up again, his eyes quickly caught a figure who had just walked through the door.

It seems that he is seventeen or eighty-nine years old, like a student who is still in high school, with a handsome appearance, and belongs to the type that little girls will fall in love with.

He walked straight towards the front desk, his outstanding appearance seemed out of place with his surroundings.

An Ning knew that he was the person He Xiao wanted her to meet, so she took the initiative to greet him.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Cheng was still thinking about how to talk to the front desk lady later, but the sudden appearance in front of him really shocked him.

He looked at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a professional suit, her chestnut wavy curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face was covered with delicate makeup, making her look very glamorous.

He nodded quickly, "I am, may I ask..."

"Mr. He is already waiting for you upstairs, please follow me."

The woman didn't give him any extra time, and walked ahead after speaking, Zhou Cheng had no choice but to follow suit.

The two walked into the elevator together.

Zhou Cheng watched the woman press the floor button, then stepped aside and stared ahead.

There was a moment of silence in the car, and he could only keep silent.

When the elevator door opened with a "ding", he followed the woman through the corridor and came to a door.

It wasn't until then that Zhou Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he realized clearly that opening this door meant that he had no way out.

Before he could react, the woman reached out and knocked on the door.

After about a few seconds, a man's voice came from inside, "Come in."

Zhou Cheng walked in, and at a glance he saw He Xiao behind the desk who was working with his head down. The French window on one side was sunny and fine.

The office is bright and spacious, so big that it makes people feel overwhelmed.

Zhou Cheng tried his best to stand up straight, but he couldn't hide his nervousness.

The man seemed to be still busy. After finding time to look up at him from the document, he lowered his head and continued to look at the document in his hand. He only ordered the secretary in a formulaic tone, "Bring two cups of tea."

"Ok."

After the secretary left, Zhou Cheng stood there for a while, seeing that the man seemed to be busy for a while, he bravely walked to the desk.

Sensing his approach, He Xiao raised his eyelids from the document, and met his ordinary eyes with a hint of nervousness.

The eyes of the two briefly intertwined in the air.

In the end, he chuckled softly, put the documents on the table back casually, leaned back, and leaned against the leather seat.

"Urgent?" He looked at the hesitation on the young man's face and asked with a smile.

Zhou Cheng's eyes flashed, "Since you know why I'm here, I won't talk nonsense."

He paused, "I just want to confirm once, you said you would give my mother the best treatment, can you do it?"

He Xiao crossed his slender fingers in front of his chest, feeling that his question was interesting, "Do you think this is difficult for me to do?"

Even if he had to look up to speak, his aura was not affected in the slightest.

Of course Zhou Cheng wasn't questioning his ability, he just felt that this man was not as credible as he seemed, just like now he seems to have accepted his proposal, but he hasn't completely relaxed his vigilance towards him.

Chapter 15 Unreasonable Intimacy But after thinking about it, since he agreed, it is not difficult to deal with in his status. Breaking trust is completely meaningless to him, and he should not do such a boring thing That's right.

In a daze, the secretary came in with two cups of tea, and the man gestured to the chair beside him.

Zhou Cheng hesitated for a second, pulled out his chair and sat down.

He Xiao's eyes lightly passed over his drooping eyebrows, and his slender and thick eyelashes seemed to be coated with a faint layer of gold against the sunlight outside the window.

He spoke in a steady voice, "Except for your mother, everything I promised before will be fulfilled, so you can rest assured."

Zhou Cheng shook his head in a small arc, and his flat tone was somewhat distant and polite, "No, I just want you to arrange my mother well, and don't bother with the rest."

He doesn't intend to get too much from the man, even if it's nothing, it doesn't make much difference for a man to pay a sum of money for treatment and another sum of money to help him continue his studies and piano lessons.

But apart from his mother's illness, he was willing to reach an agreement. As an adult with hands and feet, he didn't intend to rely on him for everything else.

He Xiao chuckled twice, picked up the white porcelain cup and blew on the mist, and said with a smile, "You seem to have forgotten that it's not up to you to decide."

"And..." He took a sip of the hot tea in his cup, and said calmly, "I don't intend to let you live in a rat's nest forever."

Hearing the words "rat's nest", Zhou Cheng's quiet eyes finally rippled a little.

He knew he was living in a cheap rental right now.

The knuckles on his legs curled up little by little, as if he was trying to preserve the last bit of dignity in front of his opponent, but in the end, the opponent exposed the embarrassment on the spot, ruthlessly ridiculed him, and defeated his last bit of dignity.

Zhou Cheng felt embarrassed.

He Xiao could easily see through his emotional changes.

He put down his teacup calmly, and said with a faint smile, "Apart from the above, do you have any other conditions to add? Otherwise, it would be too easy for you to agree."

It was only then that Zhou Cheng remembered what he had considered several times before he came here. He did have one condition.

But when he thought of the request he was about to make next, the embarrassment that had arisen in his heart was quickly replaced by a deep embarrassment.

His ears were hot, and he glanced at the man's face uncomfortably. Seeing the man's calm expression, he coughed lightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, pretending to be thirsty.

In the end, he pretended to be calm and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's voice, "I do have one more condition."

He Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Say it."

The words rolled down his throat, Zhou Cheng only felt that his face was burning like it was going to burn.

The man's proposal that day brought him a lot of impact. Before that, he never knew that such a relationship can also occur between men.

Although he had heard stories about boys falling in love with boys at school before, but at the time he held the attitude of having nothing to do with himself, and felt that it was just a fantasy. It is also impossible to appear around him, and he has never thought deeply about how two men are going to fall in love.

But after fleeing back to his rented house in a hurry that night, he found relevant knowledge on the Internet with great doubts.

Seeing that unreasonable intimacy made him turn pale with fright, and then he lost sleep all night logically.

Just the fact that two men kissed made him feel physically uncomfortable, and he couldn't imagine such a behavior happening to him at all...
