You have to bully your sweetheart so you won't be a dog

The house in Xu Jing’s hometown is the one where Xu Jing lived with his grandparents when he was a child. It is in the countryside around City X. It’s quite far from the city. Su Xiangchen has a part-time job and works around the clock, so it’s not easy to go far away.

However, Su Xiangchen's part-time job is only for one month, and school will start in about ten days after the part-time job ends. Su Xiangchen agreed to take advantage of those ten days to go to Xu Jing's hometown to take a look.

Xu Jing was not idle this holiday either. In addition to helping Su Xiangchen tidy up the yard, he also found a part-time job at home - doing accounting work for a store under the name of the branch that Xu Zuo was managing.

Xu Zuo originally thought that his younger brother was still a high school student, so he would go to a smaller shop and be a simple cashier, but Xu Jing, the clinker, did not know when he learned accounting, so he took all financial work together. Take over.

In order to keep pace with Su Xiangchen, he worked part-time for the same month, but after all, he was from his own family. Xu Zuo paid him three times the normal salary, which was [-] yuan. Compared with Su Xiangchen's one-month part-time job The fee was only [-], but the boss saw that he was doing a good job, and with the addition of working overtime on weekends, he raised it to [-].

This was the highest salary Su Xiangchen had ever received. He was very happy, and asked Xu Jing out for dinner as soon as he heard about the salary increase.

The two of them moved back to the apartment immediately after the renovation of Xu's courtyard was completed, and the appointment place was also near the school, the high-end Japanese grocery store.

It was also here that Su Xiangchen invited Xu Jing to dinner for the first time. At that time, Xu Jing deliberately ordered two portions to tease him that it was for one person to eat. Su Xiangchen still felt very distressed. He couldn't justly spend Huo Wenbo's money.

This time Su Xiangchen made money by himself—even though he hadn't received his salary yet, he immediately became generous, threatening to order whatever he wanted.

Xu Jing was not polite to him either, the two of them had dinner, and in a daze they ordered the dishes to [-] yuan.

At the end of the meal, two full-fledged people lay their bodies on the soft sofa chair in the private room with their stomachs stretched out. Su Xiangchen suddenly asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Xu Jing lifted his spirits and thought, here we come!

Su Xiangchen said: "Tomorrow I will ask for a day off."

Xu Jingzhang nodded as if carelessly, and was entangled in melancholy. If Su Xiangchen asked what day is tomorrow, would he pretend not to know to tease Chenchen, or would he just say that he knew to make Chenchen happy? ...

Su Xiangchen saw that he didn't make a statement, and continued: "I want...you go to a place with me."

Xu Jing hadn't struggled with it yet, so he subconsciously took the words when he heard him say, "Of course that's fine. Anyway, I don't need to ask for leave, and it's the same when I'm at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Su Xiangchen's mood dropped visibly for some reason.

Xu Jing was taken aback, and quickly said: "Chenchen, I remember, tomorrow is your birthday, alas, our Chenchen will mature tomorrow, we can start eating."

The corner of Su Xiangchen's mouth rose briefly, then pressed down again.

Xu Jing continued his efforts: "Do you want to guess what gift I prepared for you?"

Su Xiangchen said with anticipation in his eyes, "You prepared a birthday party for me."

Xu Jing was taken aback: "You found out?"

Su Xiangchen counted on his fingers: "I found out earlier, sister Xu Yi asked me about what color, food, fruit, and taste I like."

Xu Jing was speechless for a moment, wondering when his sister was so careless, maybe it was on purpose.

"The banquet is at night, I want to celebrate your birthday well." Xu Jing looked at him and said seriously.

Su Xiangchen smiled lightly: "Even if there is no ostentation, it is still the best birthday."

He didn't celebrate birthdays very much in the past, and once in a while, he didn't have a very pleasant impression. Later, he didn't mention it at all, and cooked a bowl of noodles by himself. Another year old.

But now that he is open-minded and the future is promising, he really has expectations for "one year old".

Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, Xu Jing asked, "Where are you going tomorrow?"

Su Xiangchen said vaguely, "Well...the hospital..."

Xu Jing immediately understood that he hadn't forgotten that Su Xiangchen had a mother in the hospital, and Su Xiangchen seldom mentioned his mother, so although Xu Jing didn't quite understand why, he never asked.

He himself does not go home all the year round, and every family has a hard-to-recite scripture, and Su Xiangchen's mother and child may also have one.He knew Su Xiangchen's character, so even Su Xiangchen hadn't visited his mother who was sick and hospitalized throughout the year—it seemed quite unfilial, and he felt that it must be justifiable.

Early the next morning, Xu Jing set the alarm for six o'clock and got up to cook a bowl of dried noodles with eggs for Su Xiangchen.

For this bowl of noodles, he secretly contacted Xu's several times when he was at Xu's, and finally he was able to cook the poached eggs perfectly.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Jing went down, added eggs, and then called Su Xiangchen up, but no one was found in the room.

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, and went upstairs to look for someone in the small sunshine room. Sure enough, Su Xiangchen was nestled on the sofa, reading a book.

His eyes were black and blue, his eyes were a little swollen, his eyes looked dull, and his whole body looked slumped. When he saw Xu Jinglai, he moved his eyes slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't sleep..."

Xu Jing's heart ached for a while. If he knew that he should have slept with Su Xiangchen the night before, even if he couldn't make a sleeping pill, he could have known about his condition earlier and stayed up late with him.

"I cooked noodles for you, have some breakfast, okay?" Xu Jing patted his back lightly and touched his swollen eyes.

Su Xiangchen nodded dully, slowly took Xu Jing's hand with both hands, and put the sticker on his face.

Xu Jing took advantage of him to pack up the package while he was eating. His Chenchen was very depressed when he woke up in the morning, so Xu Jing, who originally thought that he had to dress up to see his mother-in-law, didn't bother to dress up anymore, so he just got ready for last night. bring presents.

Su Xiangchen directly booked an online car-hailing service, and when he got in the car, he didn't say a word. Xu Jing originally wanted to ask which hospital it was, but seeing his appearance, he chose not to speak, and let him rest on his shoulder to catch up on sleep .

However, he soon realized that something was wrong, because the car gradually drove to a remote place.

Not to mention that the area in front is not crowded, it can already be regarded as a suburb. Why would a hospital be built in such a remote place?

Xu Jing secretly took out his mobile phone to check the nearby hospitals, raised his head, and then secretly glanced at Su Xiangchen.

The car stopped beside a brand-new building. This building area is large and the greenery is beautiful, but there are few people there. Except for a few white coats passing by inside the glass door, the road from the gate to the entrance of the hospital building There was no one in the distance.

Su Xiangchen woke up after getting out of the car, glanced at Xu Jing, and found that he looked very calm, and asked curiously, "Aren't you surprised?"

Xu Jing didn't know how to respond, and it took him a long time to tentatively say, "I checked the map just now..."

Su Xiangchen smiled: "You don't have to be so careful, this is not my restricted area, but..."

He paused for a moment, causing Xu Jing to look over seriously.

Su Xiangchen was still smiling, and didn't even realize that there was a choke in his voice: "But you are my protector now, in case, in case something happens, you have to protect me."

Xu Jing was taken aback. His little cutie hadn't cried for a long time, and when she shed tears, it was mostly the kind that came out of laughter, and had nothing to do with sadness.But this time it was obviously different, Su Xiangchen was so sad that his hands even trembled a little.

Xu Jing also ignored other people's eyes, held Su Xiangchen's hand tightly, and followed him into the door of the hospital building.

Visiting patients here must be registered. Su Xiangchen reported the patient's name and his own information, and pushed his ID card over. After waiting patiently for a while, the lady in charge of registration said: "The patient in bed 4633 is in stable condition. But why did it take so long for your family to come to visit? Not to mention every month, at least come to visit once during the holidays, right? Sigh, when you go to the inpatient department later, look for a nurse downstairs. "

Su Xiangchen didn't take the complaints from the sister at the front desk to heart, and found the inpatient department with ease.

An older female nurse led them to room 463. Su Xiangchen stood at the door and did not move, but the nurse yelled inside: "The family members of hospital bed 3 are here."

There was a moment of silence inside and outside the door, and after a long time, the curtain of the bed by the window was lifted, and a weak female voice rang out: "Is Wen Bo here..."

As she spoke, she saw the person coming, and stopped talking there. After a long while, she managed to pull out a smile: "Chenchen."

Su Xiangchen gave a "hmm" and grabbed Xu Jing's sleeve with one hand calmly. He seemed to have calmed down a bit, and finally took a few steps inside and shouted: "Mom..."

Only then did Su Qing come back to her senses, Xu Jing obviously felt that her eyes had cooled down, but the smile on her face became more and more natural, with a very happy look, giving people a sense of division that wanted to shiver.

Su Qing said softly: "It's Chenchen, I said yesterday that your birthday is coming, isn't it Chenchen?"

Su Xiangchen took off Xu Jing's bag, took out a gift from it, and responded briefly: "Yes."

He was actually a little surprised, he never thought that Su Qing could still remember his birthday and age.

While unwrapping the presents, Su Qing giggled and said, "We Chenchen have grown up, big boys!"

All the gifts had passed the security check, and they were all opened and inspected below. Su Xiangchen bought a beautiful hair tie, brought a box of cut fruits and fresh beef jerky, and Su Qing ate with gusto.

The mother and son greeted each other well and got along well, but Xu Jing, who was watching from the sidelines, always felt uncomfortable, as if this scene was barely managed.

He stood beside him for a long time, Su Qing didn't ask who he was, but often glanced at herself with vigilant eyes.

Half of the two full boxes of food quickly went down, and Su Qing gave some to the woman in the next bed. When sharing the food, Su Qing showed off: "This is my son, his grades are very good."

The woman glanced at Su Xiangchen indifferently, and ate silently.

After staying in this strange atmosphere for nearly 10 minutes, Su Qing finally looked at Xu Jing "curiously": "Chenchen also brought friends here."

Su Xiangchen nodded.

Su Qing smiled: "It's good to have friends. You haven't had any friends since you were a child. I'm afraid that you'll be overwhelmed. When the time comes, you'll be like me..."

Su Qing paused, then asked, "Why didn't you bring your father?"

Su Xiangchen could see that she had been holding back for a long time, laying the groundwork for 10 minutes, showing that she liked and valued herself, but in fact, it was just to ask this question.

Su Xiangchen opened his mouth. He should have made up a suitable reason, such as "Huo Wenbo is too busy", such as "Huo Feifan is having trouble", either of which can coax this woman, but for some reason, when he said it, it became Le: "He doesn't want me anymore."

Su Qing still had a smile on her face, but her voice cooled down, as if she didn't want to pretend to be in harmony with her mother and child: "I don't want you anymore, why do you still come to see me?"

Xu Jing's heart sank, thinking why this person is like this.

Su Xiangchen said flatly: "After all, I will have to pay your hospitalization expenses in the future."

Su Qing was silent for a while, then suddenly got out of bed, Xu Jing subconsciously pulled Su Xiangchen, looked at her defensively, but saw that she just started crying, the cry was earth-shattering, and the nurses outside were brought in.

"Are you okay?"

Su Xiangchen turned his head: "It's okay, she's a little excited to see her relatives."

People here cry every day, and the nurse doesn't bother to care about it: "Call someone if you have something to do."

"Okay." Su Xiangchen responded, took a tissue from the bedside, put it on Su Qing's hand, and said lightly: "Mom, I have grown up, and I can start working part-time to make money. When I work in the future, you I will pay the hospitalization fee, I will find you a psychiatrist, and if I buy a house, I will take you out, and I can make your life better than before."

Su Qing's crying gradually stopped, and she heard the son say in a calm, steady, and sure tone that he had never heard before: "You have to rely on someone anyway, you might as well rely on me, at least I am your son."

Su Qing glanced at Su Xiangchen for a long time, then said softly, "I thought you hated me and were afraid of me."

Su Xiangchen smiled. He found that facing Su Qing was much easier than he imagined.Is it because he ran out of anxiety and restlessness the night before?Is it because one of his hands is still in Xu Jing's?

It was like when he fell into the water from the big slide, and when that hand supported him, he suddenly lost his fear.

"I'm not afraid of you." Su Xiangchen said with a smile, "Su Qing, I'm not afraid of you."

I figured it out, it would be too late if Mama Su didn't show up...
