Chapter 35

Seeing the red mark, Qi Chen's mind unexpectedly passed through the scene of the girl crunching in his arms.

He took a slap in his breath, his eyes flashed, and he didn't speak immediately.

Guan Hui soon became concerned and smiled apologetically: "Auntie has no other intentions, and will not interfere with your relationship. If you don't want to say it, just be a aunt who hasn't mentioned anything."

As he said that, Guan Hui was ready to walk over with a gentle smile and expression.

"Aunt."

Qi Chen suddenly spoke.

Guan Hui stopped and turned around and looked at Qi Chen hopefully - she was like Shen Fangru's biological sister. Qi Chen has been with her since she was a child. Naturally, she still hoped that the other party could treat herself as a real mother.

But Qi Chen didn't come to his senses completely, and only maintained his previous posture of leaning against the wall.

The retro-style marble lamp at the end of the corridor fell slightly yellow light, making the boy's deep three-dimensional side face look half-light and half-dark. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Guan Hui sighed in her heart.

...The child Qi Chen is not able to find any fault in terms of appearance, grades and character. If he hadn't had such a disease, he would be such a perfect child. It's a pity...

Qi Chen's words interrupted her thoughts.

"Auntie, I really like it very much..." He paused and repeated, "I like it very much."

"Ah... this is a good thing..." The sudden honesty made Guan Hui stunned, "It was in school-"

"But this is just an accident." Qi Chen reached out to a point on the red mark under his collarbone, "I am apt to behave and know the etiquette. I will not do inappropriate things at an inappropriate time... I don't want you to have any misunderstandings about me."

After explaining seriously, Qi Chen bowed lightly to Guan Hui, "Then I'll go back to the room first. I wish you a good dream."

After saying that, Qi Chen opened the door beside him and went back to the master bedroom.

Guan Hui, who was still there, shook her head with a strange expression, and then quickly turned to the third floor.

In the guest room on the third floor, Shi Heng, who was reading the newspaper before going to bed, was almost lifted from the bed by his excited wife.

"Do you know - Qi Chen is actually willing to tell me what he is saying in his heart. Erheng, do you think he already treats me as his mother!"

"Qi Chen is back?" Shi Heng looked at Guan Hui helplessly, "Didn't you agree not to call this title again?"

"I'm so happy!" Guan Hui rushed to the bed, "Erheng, two Heng, two Heng, two Heng, two Heng - do you think Qi Chen will be willing to call me mom in a few years?"

The second male in the Shi family is ranked. The title "Erheng" has been attached to Shi Heng since the love period between them. So many years have passed, until Shi Yao has become much older and the two are not young, so they made an appointment to stop calling this...

Now that I suddenly got back, seeing that Guan Hui's excited appearance was not reasonable, Shi Heng let her call her helplessly.

But this did not delay him from pouring cold water on his wife—

"Qi Chen never even called Shen Fangru 'mom'. Do you expect him to call you?... And why do I feel that even Yaoyao called you for the first time when she was a child, you might not be so happy?"

"You are still jealous of Yaoyao."

"After all, she is your biological daughter? Why? When compared with Qi Chen at this time, she is no longer a baby, but a lice-producing flowery cotton jacket?"

"I didn't say that." Guan Hui curled her lips, "But Qi Chen is also my son - he has been the one I saw since I was a child."

"Yes... the frequency of your trip to treatment schools in the past ten years is probably several times higher than that of Shen Fangru."

“…”

But this man, Guan Hui raised her foot and kicked Shi Heng's waist and eyes angrily-

"Qi Chen was so pitiful since he was a child, and he had never followed his biological parents. What's wrong with Fangru's instructing me to help her take care of her?... Alas, why do I feel that you have such a big prejudice towards Fangru?"

Shi Heng turned the page of the newspaper in his hand, but he didn't look away and said lightly: "I really can't agree with her behavior of abandoning her husband and son back then."

When talking about this, Guan Hui also fell silent.

After half a minute, she sighed quietly: "Everyone has their own ambitions... You don't understand Fangru's personality. She is not a woman suitable for the family. From the beginning, she might not have been with Qi Qiao... In this way, she would probably not be so tired."

"Character is not a reason to evade responsibility."

Guan Hui has always been to protect her short-term, not to mention that although Shen Fangru has a different personality from her, she is her best friend since childhood. When Shi Heng said this, she frowned slightly, "For so many years, Qi Chen's treatment cost has been astronomical. Why would she not be responsible? If she hadn't gone abroad to work hard, would you think the Shen family would be willing to pay for Qi Chen?"

Shi Heng inadvertently caught a glimpse of Guan Hui's eyebrows being raised, and hurriedly swallowed the words he had prepared to say.

He smiled gently: "Wife, I was wrong. Your words are the truth. I trust and obey unconditionally."

Guan Hui was amused by Shi Heng's words and laughed, "You are coaxing the child!" As she said that, she got out of bed and washed up.

Shi Heng returned the newspaper and couldn't help but shake his head and smile at the serious black-line headlines of the economic magazine.

"Isn't it just a child... I'm just a tiny bit older than Yaoyao."

After two seconds, Shi Heng closed the newspaper and frowned slightly: "She just said what Qi Chen said to her?" After thinking about it, Shi Heng shook his head, "Forget it, don't care."

When Shi Yao woke up from toothache in the middle of the night, he thought that this was probably the most desperate time in life.

I tried all the methods I searched online, but none of them worked. Instead, it became more and more painful after a long time of struggle.

It hurt so much that she could hardly help calling Guan Hui when she was rolling on the bed. But looking at the time on her phone it was two in the morning, Shi Yao had to endure it.

When she couldn't help it, she picked up the doll she had just turned out and buried her head and cried while humming.

——Why doesn’t she remember such a fatal thing as toothache?

That dessert and pastry won't kill people if they don't eat it - but toothache really makes people want to die...

After being so painful that she almost wanted to knock herself out, Shi Yao finally couldn't help but clench her hands and pounded her hard--the sound insulation in the villa was very good, so she didn't have to worry about waking others up.

I don’t know if it hurts too much or beats too hard, but I didn’t hear the knock on the door anyway.

So when the dazzling light in the guest bedroom suddenly lit up, when the Yao cried like a little cat, his mind was flashed fiercely.

She blocked the light with her hands and looked at the door. She could only vaguely identify Qi Chen's figure in her sight blurred by tears and light.

Qi Chen, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a few seconds before he realized. His face darkened, he stepped to the edge of the bed, knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed and pulled the girl up--

"What's wrong? Talk!" The boy's low voice suppressed his irritable mood.

Shi Yao was so fierce that he burped. He reached out and grabbed Qi Chen's collar, tightly as if he was pulling a life-saving straw: "Brother...my teeth...it hurts so much..."

Qi Chen's eyebrows almost frowned, and the girl's tears that made his heart hurt. The reason, who had never paniced when encountering anything, seemed to be gone. He was in a state of silence for a long time before he hugged the girl and clenched his fists tightly.

"Yaoyao is obedient, I'll go out to find a pharmacy and buy you some painkillers."

As he spoke, Qi Chen was about to get up.

But before his knees left the bed, the girl who sat up on the bed reached out and hugged her waist—

"Brother, don't leave... Can you be with me... I feel so painful, I don't want to be alone..."

Qi Chen's body stiffened. He lowered his eyes, "If you don't go buy medicine, it will hurt even more, huh?"

"I don't care...I'm almost in pain and you don't care about me..."

The more the girl cried, the more she felt, the more she cried. When her reason was gone, she had already started to be a scoundrel.

Qi Chen had no choice, and he was really worried that Shi Yao would stay by himself in this state.

He had no choice but to retreat, "Then I will accompany you, what do you want to do?"

Shi Yao cried and said, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep... but it hurts so much that I can't sleep..."

Qi Chen sighed and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, then I'll sleep with you, okay?"

“…Lights, the lights are too bright…”

"Yeah, I'll turn it off." Qi Chen reached out to touch the head of the bed and turned off the lights in the guest bedroom.

Darkness falls heavily.

As soon as he relaxed his hand, he felt a tighter circle of the girl's thin arms around his waist. At the same time, a small face with tears buried it in his chest.

The wet tears instantly soaked the clothes in front of him.

"It still hurts, you are lying to someone..."

Qi Chen had no choice but to: "What did I lie to you?"

"You are lying to me... I feel so painful for brother..."

“…”

There was no reason to tell the patient. Qi Chen reached out and rubbed the girl's long dispersed hair, then he slightly pressed down his jaw and kissed her gently on the top of the girl's head.

"I was wrong and shouldn't have lie to you... To compensate you, I'll tell you a story, okay?"

The girl in his arms sobbed.

"……good."

In the quiet darkness, Qi Chen stretched out his arm and wrapped the girl in his arms tighter.

"Once upon a time, there was a female student who went abroad to study after graduating from college. She rented a house there, right next to a sanatorium. In the park in the sanatorium, she met a male student in a hospital gown... The male student is gentle and elegant, can play very beautiful flutes, write very beautiful words, and can draw beautiful portraits for her... The female student soon fell in love with the male student."

"Later, what's later..."

The teeth were still hurt, but Shi Yao's attention was taken away by Qi Chen's story.

"Later?" Qi Chen gently held her in. "Later, everyone opposed them being together... Whether it was a female student or a male student, their parents did not want two people to get married... But the female student really liked that male student so much, and she didn't even know what disease was in that life... For that person, she cut off all relations and contacts with the family, and made her father so angry that she was admitted to the hospital... Then she stayed abroad with the male student without hesitation."

Shi Yao thrust in his heart: "Then... are they married?"

Qi Chen was silent for two seconds.

"Well... they got married and had a child."

Shi Yao's voice was low, with a little sleepyness, but he still insisted on asking softly: "Later, did they live happily..."

"Do you want them to be happy?"

"Of course..."

"Yeah." Qi Chen's eyes dimmed, "They... are very happy."
