[Please answer 1988] Sangmundong scandal

"--Ding"

A bell rang, and Papa Cui woke up from his sleep. When he looked up, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

It didn't know when it began to rain outside the door, and as Papa Cui approached, the rain got bigger and bigger, and even splashed into the glass door.

Azer...

Picking up two umbrellas in a hurry, Cui's father locked the store, and rushed to the chess academy.

Cui Ze came home in the rain halfway. When he saw his father, the alley was only the last few steps, and his hair was already wet enough to drip.

Although he deliberately took cold medicine the night before, Cui Ze inevitably fell ill the next day.

"Come with me to the hospital." Papa Cui said as he picked up his coat and prepared to change into it.

Cui Ze was sleeping on a blanket, his face was a little abnormally red, and he had been coughing since the morning.

"It's okay, just take the medicine and get some sleep." Cui Ze meant that he didn't want to go to the hospital.

Cui's father looked at Cui Ze, sighed helplessly, then looked down at the time, it was now lunch time, "I'm going to cook some porridge."

"En." Cui Ze nodded, and fell asleep again in a daze.

……

"—button"

"Donglong, Nuna went out and came back very late at night. The food is ready and put in the refrigerator. Heat it up after you get up."

"--I see."

Liu Mingxi changed her clothes and was about to go out. As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Cheng Baola leaning against the wall with her arms folded in boredom, "Paula."

"Let's go, what time is it?" Cheng Baola glanced at his watch subconsciously, it was almost noon.

"I know, I know." Liu Mingxi took her arm with a smile.

"It's late, Senior Zhao Xiong will be nagging again." Cheng Baola obviously had resentment towards their boss, probably because he was too nagging.

"Oh, isn't he just that temperament." Liu Mingxi smiled and agreed.

The two walked towards the station while chatting, and before waiting for a while, the bus to Songpo District arrived.

After an hour, the car finally arrived at Kele Cave, Songpo District.

"Try this." Liu Mingxi held up his own small plate, forked a piece of barbecue and fed it to Cheng Baola.

Cheng Baola opened his mouth and bit the barbecue into his mouth, chewed it, "Mmm, it's delicious."

"That's right." Liu Mingxi also fed herself a piece, the chew was just right, and she couldn't help laughing and rolled her eyes, "By the way, where's your boyfriend?"

Cheng Baola froze for a moment, shook his head, with an impatient expression on his face, "I don't know where he died."

"With your temper, you must be your boyfriend anyway." Although Liu Mingxi said so, the expression on her face was obviously different. Cheng Baola should know, right?

"Don't mention him." Cheng Baola didn't want to bring up this topic.

"Hey, why did you two come here?" Zhao Xiong appeared out of nowhere.

"Senior is here." Liu Mingxi greeted him with a smile.

"Senior." Cheng Baola also nodded.

"Let's go together, we can start." He meant that the meeting had officially started.

Liu Mingxi and Cheng Baola looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay."

……

Until ten o'clock in the evening, a group of students from the Seoul National University Student Union left Songpa one after another.

"Then I'm going home, good night."

"Good night."

Liu Mingxi opened the gate of his yard, and the lights in the house were still on from the outside.

"--I am back."

"Nuna, you're back."

"Oh, Yu Yu is here too." As soon as Liu Mingxi entered the room, he saw Liu Donglong and Cheng Yu surrounding the living room.

"Good evening Nuna." Cheng Yu got up and greeted politely, then turned to Liu Donglong and said, "It's getting late, I'm going home first."

"Got it, let's go."

Cheng Yu hurriedly left Liu's house.

"By the way, how did your movie go today?" Liu Mingxi took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, poured it into his own cup, and took a small sip.

Liu Donglong paused, "I didn't go."

"Huh?" Liu Mingxi was a little surprised, "Why?"

"Aze is sick."

"Ill?" Liu Mingxi hastily put down the cup in his hand, "Is Ze all right? Have you seen a doctor?"

"It seems that it was raining when I came home last night, and I had a little fever. I went to see him in the afternoon, and Ze fell asleep after taking the medicine."

"Hmm...you should get better after taking the medicine." Liu Mingxi was still a little worried. Cui Ze usually suffers from various ailments, so he doesn't know what's going on now.

Early the next morning, the sky was still hazy.

Cui's father got up on time to clean the alley. He had just picked up the broom when suddenly there was a "click" and the door of the neighbor's house across the street opened.

"Good morning, uncle."

"Mingxi, it's so early."

"Yes," Liu Mingxi replied, and closed the door behind him, "By the way, Uncle, I heard that Ze is sick, is he feeling better today?"

"The fever has subsided, but he still coughs. I asked him to go to the hospital, but he was procrastinating." Cui's father had a headache when he thought of Cui Ze, and he couldn't force him to go to the hospital.

"Hmm... So, is Aze still sleeping now?"

……

"—Aze? Are you awake?"

Liu Mingxi gently opened the bedroom door, and what came into view was a furry back of the head, the whole person was wrapped in a quilt into a ball shape.

"--cough"

It seemed that Cui Ze woke up in a daze when he heard the sound.

Liu Mingxi squatted down slowly, "Did I wake you up?"

"Nuna, cough, why is Nuna here?" Cui Ze struggled to sit up while hugging the quilt.

"Lie down first." Liu Mingxi heard that he was coughing continuously, so he had to press him back into the bed, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and it was true that the fever did not stop, "I heard that you are sick, so you don't go to the hospital yet. See a doctor, why are you disobedient again?"

"No...it's really nothing..." Cui Ze muttered in a low voice.

Liu Mingxi raised his eyebrows, pretending he didn't hear, "If you cough again in the afternoon, go to the hospital obediently."

"……Um."

Only then did Liu Mingxi smile with satisfaction, "Go to sleep for a while, I cooked fish porridge and put it in the refrigerator, remember to eat it later."

"Yes." Cui Ze responded obediently.

"Go to sleep, I'm leaving first." Liu Mingxi stood up and prepared to leave after speaking.

"Noona."

"Huh?" Liu Mingxi thought that Cui Ze had something to say.

"Thank you."

"Understood, let's go." Liu Mingxi smiled back.

"——"

The bedroom door was closed again, making the room darker.

Cui Ze lay sideways on the blanket with one hand on his pillow, the smile on his lips hung brightly on his face, without any hindrance.
