Hollow wind

Chapter 10

drunk

It hurts like hell now.

Jiahefu is a well-known high-end community in Yucheng. The buildings are very wide apart, and the spaces between the buildings are filled with various flowers and trees. Several high-rise buildings seem to be inserted into the woods suddenly, as if the garden is the community main body.

Although the landscape of the garden is beautiful, it is extremely difficult to find a child who has run away in such a garden with uneven vegetation and scattered shades.

In the end, An An, who was hiding in the woods, was found by a puppy who came out for a walk with its owner.

When Fang Yunwan and Jiang Xiu rushed to the property center, they saw An An wrapped in two blankets and placed in front of the heater.The house is warm. Aunt Wu took off An An's coat as soon as he got home. When he slipped out by himself, he was only wearing two sweaters that let the air in. He was already shivering from the cold. When Fang Yunwan came, he called pitifully, "Uncle, I'm here."

Fang Yunwan was anxious and angry, stepped forward and asked harshly, "Why are you running around?"

The night was dark and windy, and the child was already frightened. Instead of comforting him, Fang Yunwan became angry with him as soon as he came. An An wrinkled her nose, endured it again and again, and tears finally rolled out.

He was so wronged by crying, but Fang Yunwan believed that children should not be left alone, so he stood aside with his arms folded and watched coldly, patiently waiting for him to stop crying when he was tired.

Here Jiang Xiu thanked the property staff, came back to his senses, saw that An An's face was blushing from crying, couldn't help but pat Fang Yunwan, and advised him: "It's good to find it, don't be fierce child."

Fang Yunwan glanced at him, and sneered: "You're playing a bad face, and you don't know why he got lost after staying in the kindergarten."

After firing at Jiang Xiu, most of Fang Yunwan's anger towards An An subsided. He felt that the little guy twitching beside him looked pleasing to the eye. He bent down and touched An An's hand, feeling that the child was in front of the heater. After blowing the warm air for a while, the meeting has already calmed down, so I took off my coat and wrapped him in an extra layer, reached out and hugged him: "Don't cry, go home!"

Walking out of the property center, the night wind blows against the face, chilling the bones.

Jiang Xiu glanced at Fang Yunwan. He took off his coat and wrapped it around An An's body. He was only wearing a breathable woolen sweater. The cold wind blowing all the way back may catch a cold.Jiang Xiu glanced at his watch, and suggested to Fang Yunwan: "Go to my house first, and ask Auntie to get you something hot, and then leave after eating."

"No, thank you." Fang Yunwan didn't appreciate it, refused in a cold voice without hesitation, and strode towards the gate of the community.

Jiang Xiu chased him a few steps up. He had been coughing for the past few days, and his chest was very stuffy. In just a few steps, he felt a little wheezing when he walked in a hurry.Stopping Fang Yunwan, he slowed down a bit before he had the strength to speak: "It's getting late, even if you're not hungry, the child should be too."

Fang Yunwan stopped: "So you know it's getting late. Have you ever thought that if you hadn't secretly brought the child to your home, An An would have had dinner and watched cartoons by now?" Fang Yunwan stared at Jiang Xiu and asked him: "Do you think you are helping me? Help me take care of An'an? Help me share trivial matters? Am I so ignorant that I don't feel grateful to you?"

"No, I just feel sorry for the child who is left to the end every day."

He knows that the child who is left to the end every day is very pitiful.Because he used to be the last child picked up every day.He knew his family was too busy and they didn't pick him up so late on purpose.

But this does not prevent his companions from being picked up by his family one after another, and he faces the empty classroom day after day, feeling as depressed as if he has been abandoned by the whole world.

He has never raised a child, and he has not even done a good job as a wayward child.

He thought it was for his own good to ask An An not to stay until the end and become the child abandoned by the whole world.But in fact, it didn't seem to be the case. An An cried aggrievedly, and Fang Yunwan looked very angry.

Fang Yunwan covered An An's ears with his clothes, and lowered his voice: "It's very pitiful. But Mr. Jiang may have forgotten why he is so pitiful."

why?He was supposed to be by his biological parents' side, but because of a rumor, his home was in turmoil when he was just born.

The topic was brought here, and Jiang Xiu felt that this conversation could not go on.

He was silent for a moment, raised his wrist and glanced at the time, feeling a little helpless: "Auntie has already gone back to prepare dinner ahead of time, you probably have dinner when you go upstairs now."

The street lights were dim, and he could clearly see Fang Yunwan hugging An An, like a soldier with a machine gun in his arms.

Jiang Xiu found it funny and sad at the same time, sighed lightly, and smiled wryly: "Don't worry, I have a party tonight, and I'm leaving now, so I won't disturb you. Don't be wronged just to get angry with me." child."

After Jiang Xiu labeled Fang Yunwan as a "wronged child", he turned around and left immediately without further words.

That's all for now, the choice is in Fang Yunwan's hands.

When they arrived at Jiangxiu's house, Aunt Wu, who came back early, was already busy in the kitchen. Fang Yunwan and An An didn't wait long, and the table was filled with delicious food. An An even had a dish made of rice and Seaweed pinched panda.

It was too late, although An An didn't say anything, but she was really hungry.Aunt Wu's food was much more delicious than Fang Yunwan's. An An sat at the dining table and ate with a big mouthful, her cheeks bulging.

Fang Yunwan looked at a table of dishes, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt for the child.

It turns out that a child can be raised like this, with soup and vegetables, fish and meat, and even some little things to make him happy occasionally.An An has always been very obedient, as if she was afraid that Fang Yunwan would not want him. He asked for whatever Fang Yunwan gave him, and never caused trouble.

Fang Yunwan stroked An An's hair, got up and walked to the kitchen.

Jiang Xiu didn't like having outsiders in his family. When they were together before, the family also hired part-time workers, who came during the day, so they almost couldn't run into Jiang Xiu.The last time he came to Jiang Xiu's house, Aunt Wu left after cooking, but for some reason today, Aunt Wu was still busy in the kitchen after An'an had eaten.

Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Fang Yunwan knocked on the kitchen door and asked Aunt Wu: "Jiang Xiu is not here, if you are not in a hurry, can we have something to eat together?"

There is a purple sand pot on the stove, and the soup is simmering. The white mist from the thin spout is warm and soft, but the air is filled with a bitter smell.

"No, no, no, I'm going home after this pot of hangover soup is done."

"Hangover soup?"

Aunt Wu turned down the heat a little, and the tiny flames licked the bottom of the pot. Aunt Wu opened the lid to look at it, and explained: "Just now Xiao Xu told me that Mr. Jiang drank wine and asked me to prepare it."

Regarding this information, Fang Yunwan didn't know what to respond to, so he could only say "Oh" dryly, showing no interest.

Aunt Wu glanced at An An outside, and asked: "Is the food still suitable for the child? I'm really sorry, but I didn't take good care of him when I picked up the child. He was shocked and blown away. If my grandson, I'm sure I won't be able to eat well, and I'll have to make a fuss for a while. Mr. Fang's children are really good."

"He likes your cooking very much, thank you." Now that the topic has come to this point, Fang Yunwan continued, "I just wanted to ask if there is any aunt you know who is free at five or six in the afternoon and can help Just pick up the kid from school and cook him something to eat."

"When my grandson followed me, he was about the same age as An An. I actually really like this child An An." Aunt Wu was a little embarrassed, "I was really careless about what happened tonight. An An, cook him dinner."

Although tonight's accident happened, Fang Yunwan felt that An An did not reject Aunt Wu.They have already met Aunt Wu twice, and Teacher Chen also knows her. If Aunt Wu takes care of An An, maybe everyone can adapt quickly.

The only problem is that of time.

"Will it conflict with your coming to Jiangxiu's place?"

Aunt Wu pinched her fingers and calculated: "I will discuss with Mr. Jiang, and we can adjust the time a little."

"Ok."

Aunt Wu thanked Fang Yunwan, then lifted the lid of the pot and took a look.

She didn't say it, but Fang Yunwan sensed a little impatience from her repeatedly flipping through the pages.That's right, it's already nine o'clock, if An An hadn't made such a fuss, she should be at home by now.

"How long will this soup be boiled? I'll watch the fire, you go home first."

"This is a prescription specially prescribed by an old Chinese doctor for Mr. Jiang. It is said to be hangover soup, which is similar to traditional Chinese medicine. Three bowls of water must be boiled until one bowl is good. After drinking, Mr. Jiang always feels uncomfortable eating anything. Powerful, I usually make half a bowl of it, so that he can suffer less."

The purple sand pot is full of medicinal herbs from vines and vines, Fang Yunwan glanced over, and there is no water in the purple sand pot.He didn't experience traditional Chinese medicine. He only remembered that Aunt Wu had been busy in the kitchen. This pot of hangover soup had been boiled for a while. If he wanted to wait for An An to finish his meal, it should be ready.

It wasn't until half an hour after Aunt Wu left that An An was full of wine and food and pestered Fang Yunwan to go home. Fang Yunwan picked up the purple sand pot and felt that it was still heavy. There is still more than half of the pot of water, and it seems that a bowl of concentrated medicinal juice will not be boiled for a while.

An An followed into the kitchen, tugging at Fang Yunwan's trouser legs, and hurriedly urged: "Uncle, let's go home quickly. If you don't leave the candy, oh, it's Uncle Jiang. If we don't leave, Uncle Jiang will be back."

Fang Yunwan laughed. This child has no blood relationship with him, but he seems to be connected with him.Now seeing Jiang Xiu is like a mouse meeting a cat, avoiding him for fear of not being able to. Unexpectedly, An An also wanted to avoid Jiang Xiu.

He knelt down and asked An An: "Why doesn't An An want to see Uncle Jiang?"

"Because you feel sad every time you see him. But I don't have any candy to coax you."

Listening to the child's childish voice, Fang Yunwan's heart was so soft that he hugged An An's soft body into his arms.How can such a young child have such a heavy heart?

"So, you ran out today in order not to see Uncle Jiang?" Fang Yunwan originally wanted to go home and talk to An An about how dangerous this matter is, but since the topic has reached this point, he asked down.

An An nodded, biting her lips and looking at Fang Yunwan: "I'm sorry. I know I was wrong, and I won't run around again in the future."

"Uncle knows that An An doesn't want to make uncle sad, right? But—" Fang Yunwan rubbed the child's hair, squatted down, stared into his eyes, and looked serious, "I can't run around like this in the future , if uncle can't find An An, he will be even more sad, and will always be very sad, you know?"

An An replied softly "Got it", and hugged Fang Yunwan's thigh and refused to let go.

Now it is just 09:30. According to Fang Yunwan's experience, since Jiang Xiu is going to socialize, there is no reason to get home at this point. He boldly estimated that he still has at least one hour to cook sober soup , and fled the scene with An An.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed An An's hair, and comforted the little guy: "I just promised my aunt that I would help her cook this pot of soup before leaving. I promised others, do I have to work hard to do it? Let's go when the soup is ready, shall we?"

The little guy nodded sullenly, hugged Fang Yunwan's thigh and followed him in the kitchen.

The purple clay pot continued to simmer for less than half an hour, and finally collected the soup, barely shrunk down to a full bowl.Fang Yunwan filled a bowl full of hangover soup, put it on the dining table, wrapped An An in a coat who was too angry to speak up, and planned to leave.

Pushing open the door, I saw Xu Zhang helping Jiang Xiu out of the elevator.

Jiang Xiu's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and his eyes were frighteningly black.He bent slightly, looking like he couldn't even stand upright. Xu Zhang beside him supported his arm, bearing most of his weight.

While Fang Yunwan was in a daze, someone had already walked in front of him.

In fact, Xu Zhang knew Fang Yunwan. Five years ago, he was not Jiang Xiu's secretary. He worked in the general manager's office of Songwen Group and was often called to Jiang Xiu's side to help.Although he didn't follow Jiang Xiu all the time, he occasionally ran a few times for Jiang Xiu's private affairs, most of which were because of Fang Yunwan.

But after all, this is the boss's private matter. Fang Yunwan and his boss had an unhappy breakup back then, and he had heard a little bit about it.This time when Fang Yunwan joined Songwen, he pretended not to know each other for a long time. He thought that these two people were smart and transparent people. At the door of the boss's house, I met the boss's old lover.

After insisting on walking to the door of the house, Jiang Xiu could barely stand, his body wobbled, and he fell to one side.Although he is thin, he is tall after all. Xu Zhang was still carrying something in his hand. When he fell down, Xu Zhang couldn't help him, so he shouted: "Mr. Fang, help me..."

Before the words were finished, Fang Yunwan had already caught the limp Jiang Xiu firmly, half-supporting and half-embracing him into the room, helping him to sit on the sofa.

Jiang Xiu smelled heavily of alcohol.

Fang Yunwan knew that Jiang Xiu's capacity for alcohol had always been good, but his asthma had come and gone, and he suffered from stomach problems due to his irregular diet in his early years, so he seldom drank unless necessary.In fact, with his current status, not to mention that there are not many people who can persuade him to drink, even if he wants to drink, he should go back and forth for a round or two, and there is no reason to be so drunk.

Jiang Xiu frowned and leaned back on the sofa with one hand on his stomach, without saying a word.Even though he was as silent as a statue, Fang Yunwan could tell that this man was suffering terribly now.

"Why do you drink so much?" Fang Yunwan also frowned.

Xu Zhang wrapped Jiang Xiu's computer on the sofa and put it away: "On the way to the hotel, I don't know what happened. Mr. Jiang was in a hurry to come back, but he was late when he went in. As soon as he went in, he fined him a few times first. Cup, and made another round of toasts to the people at the wine table to make amends one by one. He made the opening himself, and the other party naturally took the opportunity to toast him, and didn't let us stand in his way. He drank all night and didn't eat anything. .”

Fang Yunwan gave Jiang Xiu a hard gouged look, and said angrily, "After a while, it hurts so badly."

As soon as the words were finished, a cold hand gently grasped his wrist. Fang Yunwan lowered his head and saw Jiang Xiu looking up at him.

He was not drunk, but his eyes were full of water vapor after drinking, and such a pair of eyes stared at Fang Yunwan, which made Fang Yunwan feel compassion again.

"It won't take a while."

"what?"

Jiang Xiu's palm pressed hard on his abdomen, and his face turned pale again: "It's going to hurt to death now."
