After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

"How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

In the old house of the He family, in the guest room on the second floor, Qiao Annian sat by the bed and gave Xiaotuanzi a sip of water with a spoon.

He Nanlou drank a few mouthfuls and vomited it all out.

Qiao Annian couldn't find anything to pick it up for a while, so in a hurry, he had no choice but to pick up the suit jacket he had put on the bedside to pick it up.

He Nanlou vomited out his lunch.

Qiao Annian looked worried.

More than half an hour ago, he had to go to the bathroom, and because he was in a hurry, he asked Xiaotuanzi to lead him the way.Coming out of the bathroom, he almost bumped into Xiaotuanzi's superb grandfather He Duan.

He Duan didn't look like a superstar at all, he had kind eyes and a kind smile, and even beckoned Xiaotuanzi to come up to him for a closer look, asking if Xiaotuanzi had grown taller.

Xiaotuanzi suddenly felt unwell at that moment.Xiao Tuanzi's face was pale, his lips were blue, and the worst thing was, he was so close that it was obvious that Xiao Tuanzi's whole body was shaking and his limbs were convulsing, as if he was going through great pain.

He was startled by Xiaotuanzi's reaction, and hurriedly asked Xiaotuanzi if he felt uncomfortable.

He Duan also saw that something was wrong with Xiaotuanzi, and walked forward with concern, but Xiaotuanzi dragged him back, and then quickly went upstairs.He pushed open a room casually and pulled him in too.

He Duan should have sent someone to follow them all the time, because he went upstairs in person soon after.

At that time, Xiao Tuanzi still had the strength to stand up, but when He Duan talked to him, he ignored them.He Duan didn't care about it, he patted his head, and went out, with a good temper and a good look.

It may be that He Duan told He Weishen and Zhang Qianrou about Xiaotuanzi's discomfort. Later, He Weishen and Zhang Qianrou also came up, but Xiaotuanzi still ignored them and asked He Weishen and Zhang Qianrou to go out with a cold face. It's too bad.

He didn't educate Xiaotuanzi as before, because the child's face was a bit scary at that time, the little face was pale, without a trace of blood.

In fact, after closing the door with a bang, the little guy seemed to have exhausted all his strength and fell to the ground. He was the one who carried the dumpling onto the bed.

"I'll call Uncle He over—"

Qiao Annian put Xiaotuanzi on the bed, and got up to find He Weishen.

His hands were firmly grasped.

He Nanlou's pale lips tightened, "Don't go!"

"But you—"

"I am fine."

"Your face is so white, how can you be fine?"

"I've said it all, I'm fine. I just need to lie down on the bed..."

Qiao Annian was in a panic, but there was nothing he could do. The child held his hand too tightly.

While staying anxiously for the time being, he was thinking that if the little guy's condition didn't improve later, he would go to He Weishen anyway.

Later, the little guy wrapped himself in the quilt, and his forehead kept sweating, but he no longer convulsed or trembled.

Qiao Annian is not a doctor, he really has no way of judging whether the little guy is getting better or worse, so he broke free from the child's hand and planned to go out to find He Weishen.

"I want to drink water, go get me a glass...water here."

There was no water in the guest room, so Qiao Annian had no choice but to go downstairs to ask the servant of the He family to pour him a glass of water.

Adding up the front and back, there are only three or four spoons fed, which are still as small as a coffee spoon...

After the little guy vomited, Qiao Annian took the tissue beside the bed and wiped his mouth clean, "Do you still want to vomit?"

After He Nanlou vomited, he lay back on the pillow, his face was pale, and he shook his head in a small arc.

Qiao Annian looked worried, and he touched the little guy's face, "Then wait for me, I'll wash this coat a little bit. If you still want to vomit, call me immediately."

Seeing Xiaotuanzi's eyeballs move,

Knowing everything is still clear, it should be fine, Qiao Annian just got up, picked up the smelly coat, and went to the bathroom of the guest room.

There was no laundry detergent in the guest room, so Qiao Annian first washed the dirt with water, and then used hand sanitizer to make do with it, so as to get rid of the smell.

Reluctantly washing the coat, Qiao Annian put the coat on the shelf in the bathroom, planning to find a bag to pack it back later, and see if he can wear it again after washing it.

Back in the bedroom, Qiao Annian had an extra towel in his hand. He took the towel and wiped Xiaotuanzi's mouth and face again.

Xiaotuanzi's face and forehead were covered in cold sweat.

The suit jacket the little guy was wearing was also a bit dirty, so Qiao Annian took off the jacket for Xiaotuanzi, but he didn't wash it in the bathroom. It's best to dry clean it for such a high-end material.

"How about I go and tell Uncle He to take you to the hospital for a comprehensive examination? If you don't want Uncle He to take you there, I'll ask my mother to take you there?"

He Nanlou tightly grasped Qiao Annian's wrist, "I'm much better now..."

Qiao Annian's frown showed no signs of loosening, because the little guy seemed to have nothing to do with the word "much better".

He Nanlou pursed his pale lips, "You stay here and stay with me."

The little guy's voice sounded very weak, and when the words "stay with me" came from the mouth of a stubborn child, Qiao Annian felt even more distressed.

He put the towel aside, "Okay, I can stay here with you instead of looking for Uncle He and the others. But if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me right away."

"Ah."

...

Ever since he was kidnapped when he was a teenager and had a finger cut off, He Nanlou has suffered from severe "finger pain" for a long time, a neuropathic pain similar to "phantom limb pain".

Just like those patients who had to undergo amputation due to accidents, after a period of time after recovery, the body will "recover" the huge pain of being cut off the little finger at that time.

He originally thought that this six-year-old body was intact, and it would not be like in the previous life. As long as it was cut off for a while, the brain would recreate the severe pain of the little finger that was cut off at that time, but obviously, he miscalculated the impact of the memory. Physical effects.

His painful memory of the severed finger was like an activated program the moment he heard He Duan's voice——

There was severe pain in his left hand, and his body convulsed uncontrollably. The pain was so painful that he wanted to bite off his tongue, and almost passed out on the spot.

In the previous life, it was He Duan who rejected the kidnapper's request on the other end of the phone. In a fit of rage, the kidnapper cut off one of his fingers as a warning to the He family, and it was also revenge for the He family.

"Knock knock..."

The door was knocked softly.

He Nanlou looked towards the door vigilantly.

"It should be your grandfather or Uncle He. I'll go and see."

Because Xiaotuanzi didn't want anyone to enter the room, Qiao Annian didn't let anyone in rashly. He touched the little guy's hand comfortingly, and gently pulled his hand out of the child's hand.

The child was still clenched tightly, Qiao Annian coaxed him: "I'll just open the door, and I'll be right back to accompany you."

The little guy just let go of his hand little by little.

Qiao Annian went to open the door, it wasn't He Duan, nor He Weishen and Zhang Qianrou. Standing outside the door was an old man he had never seen before.

From the attitude and tone of the other party talking to Xiao Tuanzi, Qiao Annian judged that the other party should be He Duan's housekeeper.

The butler walked to the bed respectfully: "Master Xiaolou, the old man asked me to come up and ask you if you feel better, and if you want to go downstairs to have something to eat with everyone, to watch the year and celebrate the New Year."

It turned out that the New Year's Eve banquet had already started, and everyone in the He family had arrived, only He Nanlou stayed upstairs because he was not feeling well.

As for him, Qiao Annian guessed that apart from Zhang Qianrou, the He family

No one would care whether he attended the New Year's Eve banquet.

The little guy pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Qiao Annian didn't know what was going on with Xiaotuanzi today, as if no one was paying attention to him except him.

It may be that you are not feeling well.

Qiao Annian had no choice but to act as a temporary spokesperson, and explained to the butler: "Xiaolou is still feeling a little uncomfortable, so I won't go down. Please tell Mr. He, I will take care of him here, please Mr. He rest assured."

The butler looked at the boy in surprise.

In previous years, the young man also followed Master Weishen and Ms. Zhang when he came here. He didn't talk much and was very reserved. At first glance, he knew that he was the child of someone who had never seen the world. A little humble and flattering.

This time it seems... a little different.

The butler bowed slightly: "Then there will be Young Master Lao Annian."

Qiao Annian was not used to the old housekeeper's age, and he bent and bowed to him.It was not appropriate to reply "You're welcome" or something, so I simply smiled and dealt with it.

"By the way, is it convenient for you to let the kitchen cook a bowl of mushroom and chicken porridge? Xiaolou just vomited. I want to feed him some porridge. His stomach will feel better then."

I heard that He Nanlou vomited just now, this well-behaved butler inevitably had to say a few words of concern, and naturally responded to Qiao Annian's request, "Okay, no problem."

"Don't put shredded ginger in the porridge, and don't put green onions, black fungus, or coriander. Xiaolou doesn't like to eat these."

This time, the housekeeper looked at Qiao Annian, not only in surprise, but also in doubt.

If it is said that the young man offered to stay here to take care of Master Xiaolou, it was to please Master Xiaolou and to impress Master Weishen, so it is not "" Please" can do it.

"Ok."

The butler exited the room respectfully, and before leaving, he did not forget to close the door softly.

...

After vomiting, He Nanlou's body finally felt a little better.

The great pain that made people want to hit the wall to die, like sea water, receded from his body wave by wave, and his body seemed to be gradually returning to calm after experiencing a raging storm.

"what did you eat?"

Qiao Annian put the towel back in the bathroom, and when he came back, he heard the child asking this question without end, and was at a loss: "What?"

He Nanlou stared at him with dark eyes, "You asked the butler to order the kitchen to cook porridge for me, but you didn't tell the butler what you want to eat."

The boy was dragged upstairs by him. On this New Year's Eve, like him, he hadn't eaten a single thing yet.

Qiao Annian sat down by the bed and smiled narrowly: "Well, I've made progress, and I know how to care about people."

He Nanlou closed his mouth.

He shouldn't have opened his mouth just now, and he wouldn't die if he was hungry.

This time, Qiao Annian finally realized that the little guy's condition was really improving, because the little guy's face and forehead were no longer sweating.

Qiao Annian was somewhat relieved.

"I'm hungry."

"Now?" Qiao Annian didn't check the time, but he reckoned that from the time the butler left to the present, it took no more than 3 minutes at most.

3 minutes is only enough to heat a porridge, but not enough to cook it.

"The porridge may not be so fast, why don't I go downstairs and see if there is anything in the hall that you can eat, so I can bring you some?"

He Nanlou: "Yes."

"Then wait for me in the room. I'll go downstairs and have a look."

Qiao Annian went downstairs.

The hall, which was very lively before, now looks relatively deserted except for a few servants who are tidying up.

Seeing him, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the servants, as if they were wondering why he didn't follow him.

Everyone attended the New Year's Eve banquet.

Qiao Annian pretended not to notice their gazes on him, he walked over freely, took a piece of caramel cake that didn't have any cream, was easier to digest, and a glass of fruit juice, and went upstairs.

...

Qiao Annian put the cake and juice from downstairs on the bedside table.

"Come on, I'll help you up, eat some cake first, to cushion your stomach." Qiao Annian helped Xiaotuanzi who was lying on the bed to get up.

"I never eat caramel cake."

Joannian: "..."

It was his fault.Forgot how picky the little guy was, he checked with the little guy before going down.

"There's a lot to eat downstairs, but there's not much you can eat. You tell me what you want to eat first, and I'll go downstairs to see if there is any."

"Waffles."

Joannian: "..."

Qiao Annian wasn't quite sure if there was such a thing downstairs, but he still had a good temper and said, "Okay, I'll go down and see if there is any. If there is, I'll bring it up for you."

Qiao Annian went down to get it again, and this time, he safely followed Xiaotuanzi's request, and brought a waffle for him.The guy who didn't take too much, who was afraid that he would vomit after drinking water, ate too much at once, and his stomach couldn't bear it, and he would vomit again.

He Nanlou took a bite of the waffle and ate it slowly.

Qiao Annian noticed it, and immediately asked with concern: "Not to your liking?"

He Nanlou just vomited, his stomach was empty, and he has no appetite now, eating waffles in his mouth is no different from chewing a piece of paper, it grinds his tongue, making it difficult to swallow.

He Nanlou shook his head and took another bite.

Qiao Annian handed over the juice, "Is it a little dry? Just drink the juice."

He Nanlou drank a little, but didn't drink too much, because he was afraid that he would vomit again.

Qiao Annian was so focused on Xiaotuanzi that he didn't feel hungry, let alone eat, but now seeing Xiaotuanzi eating waffles and drinking juice, he felt a little hungry.

He should have wanted to eat, but he was worried about taking up all his attention.

"You really don't want to eat this caramel cake? Then I will."

He Nanlou: "Yes."

Qiao Annian then picked up the piece of caramel cake he took upstairs for the first time.

He Nanlou put down the waffle in his hand.

Qiao Annian stared at the waffles that had been bitten on the corners of both sides and was put back on the plate, and squinted at Xiaotuanzi: "You are like a little mouse eating, how many mouthfuls will you be full?"

Even if he just vomited, this appetite...is it too small?Or this waffle, Xiaotuanzi doesn't like it?

He Nanlou nodded, indicating that he was full.

Qiao Annian said seriously: "Hamsters eat more than you."

He Nanlou: "..."

"Then do you still drink this juice?"

He Nanlou shook his head.

He has no appetite to eat at all now.

Qiao Annian then settled the piece of caramel cake and juice together.My stomach is still a bit hungry, so I ate the waffles that the little guy hadn't touched at all, and drank all the juice. Now, my stomach is really full.

"That's right, I brought you some food, but it all ended up in my stomach." Qiao Annian smiled at the child.

He Nanlou ignored him.

...

Watching the New Year's Eve may be the only day that children across the country are "granted" not to go to bed early throughout the year.

Qiao Annian's wechat group was constantly vibrating at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

At that time, Xiaotuanzi's situation was not good, and Qiao Annian didn't even bother to read the group news. Now that Xiaotuanzi's situation was much better, Qiao Annian just took out his phone and took a look.

Lin Kele: "@All Members, Happy New Year!!!"

Luo Jie: "Happy New Year!"

Yu Zihang: "In the new year, I wish you all progress in your studies and your dreams come true."

Qian Fei: "..."

Luo Jie: "..."

Lin Lele: "..."

Cheng Yunxi: "Thank you. I didn't get into the top five in the final exam this time. I really need this kind of blessing. Next semester, I will definitely get what I want!"

Jiang Ruoyi: "Come on, Yunxi!!! Charge the duck!!!"

Cheng Yunxi: "Yes!"

Jiang Ruoyi: "Huh? Where are the people? Where have they all gone?"

Hahaha!

These kids are so funny.

Qiao Annian guessed that it might be because the children had finished their New Year's Eve banquet at eight or nine o'clock, so they made a fuss in the group.

As the only "adult" in the group, Qiao Annian sent a three-digit red envelope in the group.

Not too much, just to make sense.

The group news showed that Lin Lele's speech was the closest one hour ago, so Qiao Annian thought that the red envelopes he sent might not be received until tomorrow, but it turned out that it took only a few seconds before and after sending them out. , the red envelope was received.

Qian Fei: "Ahhh!! I finally received a double-digit amount of red envelopes! Thank you, An Nian!!"

Luo Jie: "My luck is not bad today, and I got a total of four figures. I am very happy."

Qian Fei: "???!!! I want to kill you!!!"

Lin Kele: "Hey hey hey! I am the king of luck!"

Qiao Annian: "...Are you all guarding your phone all the time?"

Qian Fei: "We are! It's Chinese New Year, and many elders are giving out red envelopes!!"

Lin Kele: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Yu Zihang also sent a red envelope.

Two girls, Jiang Ruoyi and Cheng Yunxi, also gave out red envelopes.

Qiao Annian didn't receive it, but judging from Lele's reaction, it should be quite a lot.

It rained red envelopes in the group.

Next was a bunch of fireworks, firecrackers, and a celebration emoji contest.

In this group, there is no owner who is short of money, and the post is just for fun.

Qian Fei: "Why did Qiao Annian send out a red envelope and then disappeared again?"

Luo Jie: "Maybe it's money in other groups."

Qian Fei: "Do you think they are all like you?"

Lin Kele: "@乔安年, Da Qiao, why didn't you snatch it? Did you never snatch this group of people? Don't snatch it later, let Da Qiao do it alone!"

Qian Fei: "Okay."

Luo Jie: "No problem."

Cheng Yunxi: "Yes."

Jiang Ruoyi: "Okay."

Yu Zihang: "OK."

The child actually sent him a special red envelope with the words "Happy New Year every year".

Qiao Annian couldn't laugh or cry.

He hasn't felt the excitement of the New Year until now, but he felt it once in this group of children.

...

Qiao Annian accepted the red envelope specially given to him by Lin Lele, New Year's greetings, he had to accept it.

He specially posted a big one in the group.

Afraid that if he played on the phone for too long, Xiaotuanzi would be too bored, after Qiao Annian sent out a big red envelope, he said in the group, "I want to watch the New Year with my family", and stopped talking.

Qiao Annian put the phone back into his pants pocket: "Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep?"

He Nanlou: "I want to go back."

Being under the same roof with He Duan is enough to make him sick, it is impossible for him to sleep here.

"Now? I'm afraid it won't work now. Uncle He and my mother should stay in the old house, and they can't go back until tomorrow to celebrate the New Year."

He Nanlou's face was cold.

Seeing that the little guy was unhappy, Qiao Annian suddenly asked, "Xiaolou, did you bring your phone with you when you went out?"

He Nanlou looked at him: "Your phone is out of battery?"

No wonder I didn't continue to play after playing with my phone for a while.

"Well, so you lend me a bit."

He Nanlou's mobile phone was in his small suit jacket. Qiao Annian took off his small suit jacket because he vomited a little dirty, and put it on the back of the chair in the room.

Qiao Annian went to He Nanlou's small suit pocket to get the phone, and walked back to the bed.

He handed the phone to Xiaotuanzi, and said with a smile: "Log in to WeChat to see, there is a surprise. Remember to click on my dialog box to receive the surprise."

surprise?

He Nanlou was skeptical, and really couldn't think of any surprises in the phone.

Fingerprint unlock, He Nanlou clicked on WeChat, Qiao Annian's dialog box.

In the dialog box, a festive red envelope appeared, which read——

"Happy New Year! Congratulations to Xiaolou, another year older!"

The cover of the red envelope is a picture of him standing in the field with two reeds in his hand.

It was taken at Zhang Qianrou's hometown in Huai Town. He remembered that the boy was going to take a picture of a stone bridge across the river, but he had no idea when the boy took the picture of him.

He Nanlou looked away from the phone screen.

He raised his head and looked at the bright smile of the young man: "Happy New Year! Xiaolou! I hope that in the new year, my Xiaolou will be free from disasters and diseases, and thrive! Be safe and happy!"
