you are a bit arrogant

"Ding!" The elevator door opened slowly, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up with the sound of footsteps, and a gentle light fell on the man with his head slightly lowered.

Fingerprint unlocked the lock, Zhou Shengyuan pushed open the door, the room was pitch black, only a little moonlight coming in from the French windows.

Zhou Shengyuan turned on the light, kicked off his leather shoes, put on slippers, casually threw his suit jacket on the ground, pulled his tie a little irritably, and went straight to the bathroom.

The warm water flowed over the hair, cheeks, and back... Finally, his depressed heart was relieved a little. Zhou Shengyuan brushed his wet hair back, and let out a breath of foul air slowly.Warm water splashed on the floor and meandered to the floor drain. Zhou Shengyuan turned off the water, squeezed out a little shampoo carelessly, spread it on the palm of his hand and rubbed it.

That boy...is weird.Zhou Shengyuan thought.

Stealing, fighting, and profanity.For Zhou Shengyuan's rescuing him, he didn't give any thanks, and he spoke out loudly, without any shame or fear. Zhou Shengyuan even keenly noticed that this little boy seemed to have a kind of resistance and loathing towards him.

How strange.Zhou Shengyuan rubbed his scalp, thinking on the one hand who he met, and on the other hand, thinking that he is really a good person who will do his best to the end, and he will not be able to escape for the rest of his life.

——

The next day, Qin Xiao woke up from hunger.

His belly gurgled against his stomach, accompanied by bursts of tingling pain, which abruptly woke him up from his dream.

There is no electronic equipment in the room, only a round clock hanging on the wall. Qin Xiao squinted and saw that it was just after seven o'clock.

At this time, it happened to be breakfast time.Qin Xiao barely climbed up with his arms supporting his body, his abdomen was tugging, and he was still in pain. He smiled just to deserve it, and was throwing off the quilt when the door was pushed open again.

"Ah, did you wake up so early?" It was the little nurse who hung him up last night.

"Sister is early too." Qin smiled sweetly and greeted with a smile.

"I'm about to leave the night shift, and this is my last ward round." The little nurse looked at him and asked him with a smile, "Did you wake up from the pain?"

Otherwise, there is nothing wrong, which young man is willing to get up so early.

Qin Xiao curled his lips pitifully, and said in an aggrieved voice: "There are still those who wake up from hunger." The small appearance makes people fall in love.

The little nurse's maternal love suddenly flooded, and she hurriedly urged him to lie down again: "Lie down, I'm going to get off work, and I'll buy it for you later!"

Qin Xiao lay back obediently: "Thank you sister! I want to eat meat buns, and little Chaos!"

"Are you dreaming!" Hearing this, the little nurse immediately suffered from an occupational disease, and gave him an annoyed look, "The injury is so serious, someone fought and beat you in the stomach! If you want to eat meat buns and little chaos, you can eat porridge." Not bad!"

Qin Xiaoxiao shrank pitifully, and said coquettishly, "I'm just joking, sister, why don't you be so fierce~"

"Okay, okay," the little nurse, who was not Qin Xiao's coquettish opponent, closed the record book, "Lie down obediently, don't move around, I'll be off work right away, just wait for me in a while."

"Hmm!" Qin Xiao replied obediently, buried under the quilt, revealing a pair of eyes.

The little nurse kindly stepped forward to tuck him in the quilt before going out.

Qin Xiao huddled under the quilt, staring dazedly, wanting to continue sleeping, but his stomach growled hungry from time to time.From noon yesterday until now, he hasn't eaten a drop of rice, and because of the drinking water, he is not thirsty, but he is very hungry.

In a daze of consciousness, Qin Xiao thought of the man from yesterday again.

I still don't know the name of the gentleman who said "that's really a good man", Qin Xiao curled his lips, he got a big deal.Being sent to the hospital, being taken care of with food and drink, and still living in a single room, is a blessing from heaven—then when should I slip away?He figured, after all, he couldn't afford to pay back the money, let alone his damned father.

Just when his consciousness was faltering and Qin Xiao was about to fall asleep, the little nurse bounced back, holding a packing bag in her hand, which contained two takeaway boxes.

"Asleep?" The little nurse leaned over.

"No." Qin Xiao answered in a weary voice, lifted the quilt, and grinned, "I'm waiting for my sister to bring me food."

"Small mouth is so sweet!" The little nurse skillfully moved the small table in front of the hospital bed, put the takeaway boxes on it, opened them one by one, and arranged them, "Eat!"

Qin Xiao sat down and took a good look, it turned out to be really clear porridge.Qin Xiao smiled wryly: "Sister, you are too cruel!"

The little nurse stared: "You don't know how your body is doing right now? If you don't want to suffer, just eat this. When you get better and leave the hospital, you can eat whatever you want."

Qin Xiao quickly confessed, picked up a spoon, scooped it up and tasted it, the taste was actually not bad, neither thick nor thin, and there were some digestible side dishes packed by the little nurse in another takeaway box.

"Sister, have you eaten yet?" Qin Xiao looked at the little nurse.

"No, I'm waiting to eat with my boyfriend." The little nurse smiled sweetly and said shyly.

Qin Xiao immediately said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" very understandingly, the little nurse became angry and pretended to be aggressive: "Eat well!"

The little nurse was fierce and had no deterrent power at all, but Qin Xiao still obediently bowed his head and drank porridge. The little nurse was off work and was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up. She had nothing to do, so she sat beside Qin Xiao and chatted with him, chanting a few words from time to time: " My younger brother is about the same age as you, and he is not obedient, you say, why can't you little boys study hard and listen to what your family says?"

Qin Xiao paused the hand holding the spoon, raised his head and smiled hastily at the little nurse, then lowered his head silently and continued to drink the porridge.

The little nurse murmured: "Don't fight again next time. You fight back and forth, and you are the one who hurts. Besides, you were sent to the hospital by a kind person this time. What about the next time? Oh yes, say When you get here, does your family know? I haven’t seen your family either, did you dare not tell them after you got into a fight..."

The little nurse's nagging was interrupted by "Baby, baby is calling! Baby, baby is calling!", and the little nurse immediately went to answer the phone with a red face, and complained in a low voice: "I told you not to make this ringtone, how much is it?" Awkward……"

Qin Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the little nurse jokingly. The little nurse blushed and gestured to Qin Xiao with a "go" gesture while covering her phone. Qin Xiao nodded clearly. The little nurse waved her hand at Qin Xiao and turned around. He ran out of the ward in small steps.

Qin Xiao still smiled at the corner of his mouth, but there was some emotion flashing through his eyes very quickly. He lowered his head in panic. Even though there is no one in the ward now, he still took out a tissue as if he was afraid of being seen by someone. , wiped his face, and wiped the corners of his eyes by the way.

After eating porridge, Qin Xiao cleaned up briefly, went to the bathroom, washed his face by the way, and lay down again.

Woke up again, it was twelve o'clock.Qin Xiao probably understood why he woke up at this point - he was hungry.

Qin Xiao lay on his back on the bed, and began to think about the solution for lunch.

He doesn't have a penny on him now, he doesn't have a cell phone with him, and he doesn't have anyone familiar with him except the little nurse—the little nurse is off work, so what about lunch?

Qin Xiao pressed his somewhat empty stomach, and when he was thinking hard, the door opened.

The door opened just in time, Qin Xiao thought.

Looking around, first a well-crafted leather shoe appeared in the entrance, followed by straight trousers, and then a formal suit. Under the suit was a strong chest, and above that was Zhou Shengyuan's unsmiling face .

It turned out to be a meticulous "Mr. Nice Man".Qin smiled.

"What a coincidence." Qin Xiao took the initiative to say hello.

Hearing the voice, Zhou Shengyuan's smooth steps stopped visibly, and it took several seconds before he walked forward again.On the way here by car, Zhou Shengyuan thought about many kinds of reactions that the boy would have when he saw him, whether it was irritability, anger, indifference, or the same swearing as before, no matter which one, Zhou Shengyuan couldn't figure it out. He couldn't accept it amicably because of the reason, but out of a sense of responsibility, he still drove here, but he didn't expect that what would greet him would be like this.

It was an unexpected kind of flattery, but it didn't make Zhou Shengyuan feel good either.

Seeing that Zhou Shengyuan didn't talk to him, Qin Xiao said bluntly: "What a coincidence you came, I'm hungry."

Zhou Shengyuan frowned: "...I just came to see how you are doing."

"So?" Qin Xiao said in a brisk voice, "You saved me, took me to the hospital, and paid for the medical expenses, so why don't you just be a good person and do it to the end, it's just a meal, and I can't eat much as a sick person. You can afford it."

Zhou Shengyuan stood one step away from the bed, his face darkened a bit, his voice was tinged with coldness: "Of course I can afford a meal, but this does not mean that I accept moral kidnapping. Moreover, since you understand that it is I saved you and helped you pay for the medical bills without any thanks, I don't understand this kind of behavior."

Qin Xiao shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Okay, thank you~"

He dragged the end of his voice, lying down on his body half propped up on purpose because Zhou Shengyuan came in, he had already guessed [-]% the result before he spoke, and he deliberately said that, not only did he have disgusting thoughts, but he also had such a small try However, if you don’t invite me to dinner, I won’t invite you. It’s just a meal. You can’t starve to death, so he doesn’t want to waste any more words.

"Besides," Zhou Shengyuan didn't guess what Qin Xiao was thinking, but he was indeed a little annoyed. He watched Qin Xiao lie down and continued, "Before you..."

"I'm sorry~" Qin Xiao drew a long tone, cut off his words, looked at Zhou Shengyuan with eyes that were exposed outside the quilt, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't scold you, and I shouldn't steal your money , I'm sorry, I apologize~"

The soft tone and the words that were spoken in advance made Zhou Shengyuan feel like his fists were hitting the cotton in the thoughts he had organized along the way, full of an inexplicable sense of powerlessness—this child.

"So, I'm going to bed now, can you go out?" Qin Xiao still had his eyes bent, but the temperature of his voice softened slightly, "The patient can take more rest~ Didn't the doctor tell you?"

Zhou Shengyuan frowned and looked at the figure on the bed, Qin Xiao simply buried his head under the quilt, and shrank in on his own.

Zhou Shengyuan was left on the spot for a while, finally moved, turned around and walked out of the ward, but saw something in his eyes, and his footsteps paused.He picked up the information card hanging at the end of the bed, and the top column of the card had already been filled in.

"Qin Xiao...18 years old." Zhou Shengyuan read silently in his heart, turned around and put it back softly, glanced at the figure on the bed, slowed down, and walked out of the ward.

Qin Xiao was bored in the quilt for a long time before reopening the quilt, and the room was indeed empty.

"Tch, it's a good thing..." Qin Xiao complained in a low voice, "I don't even give you porridge."

People are really good people, Qin Xiao's heart is like a mirror.He knew that he was saved by the other party, and the medical expenses were paid by the other party, and he had just stolen other people's money not long ago. If you're still hungry, it's better to break the jar.

Anyway, he is already such a trash.

Qin Xiao was laughing, the door was pushed open again, Qin Xiao's first reaction was that Zhou Shengyuan was back, and when he looked up, it was an aunt he didn't know.

"109..." Auntie opened the door and came in, still muttering, "Is this the room?"

"... What's the matter?" Qin Xiao looked at the aunt suspiciously.

"I'm here to deliver the food!" The aunt probably had a bright personality and a loud voice, which directly stunned Qin Xiao for several seconds.

"Hey, how did you get hurt like this at such a young age?" Auntie sighed politely, saying that the injury on Qin Xiao's face had already set the table, opened the thermos bag in her hand, and put the contents inside one by one. The point is laid out.

"Here, yam porridge is the most suitable for you to eat now. There are some side dishes here." Auntie set it up, took out chopsticks and spoons and put them aside. ah."

Qin Xiao blinked hard, and his voice was a little low: "Auntie... Did you send the wrong delivery? I don't know you, and I didn't... buy food."

"How can it be!" the aunt said in a loud voice, "109, right?"

Qin Xiao looked at his aunt in confusion, and the aunt pointed to the serial number on his bedside: "Here, there is no mistake, I am in charge of delivering food in the cafeteria, how could I make a mistake? Just now, Mr. Zhou called 109 to order the meal , according to the patient's condition, it needs to be urgent, how about you come and taste this porridge?"

"Mr. Zhou?" Qin Xiao keenly grasped the word.

"That's right." Seeing that Qin Xiao hadn't responded yet, the aunt who was anxious to send her off to the next family couldn't stop urging him, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, trust me, you're right!"

Under urging, Qin Xiao finally moved, his mind was in a mess, he picked up a spoon and scooped the porridge silently, the yam mixed in the porridge and cut into small pieces was crystal clear and alternate in color.

The aunt saw him eating, so she also got up: "Then you eat, I'm leaving first, and I'll come back later to clean up the dishes."

Qin Xiao nodded silently, swallowing the porridge in muffled sips.

Entering the warm porridge, Qin Xiao slowly chewed the yam cubes added in it. Qin Xiao's movements became slower and slower. Finally, he put down the spoon, held the corner of the table tightly with one hand, and put the back of his hand in front of his eyes. "Whimper" came out.
