"Really, there's also chicken soup?" The young man looked at Zhan Yiyang excitedly, his big eyes filled with sparkling color, and gave him
The already extremely delicate face added a touch of tenderness and pity.
Zhan Yiyang sighed. If it weren't for his Adam's apple and height, everyone would think he was a girl.
"There is chicken soup, but you need to answer the question first." Zhan Yiyang glanced at the young man's slightly troubled face and said nothing. He gently put his hands on Xu Rongrong's back and hugged her in an uncontrollable way.
.
"I...will you give me chicken soup after I answer the question?" The young man was a little excited. Although he didn't want to say the reason, chicken soup was more important to him, so after hesitating, the young man still chose to confess.
"I am willing to buy chicken soup for one million, because I only have money left. Apart from money, I don't know what I can exchange for chicken soup..." The young man lowered his head, looking slightly pitiful, but his words were...
Xu Rongrong almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"You, you said you are so poor that all you have left is money?" Xu Rongrong looked at this boy who was as delicate as a girl with strange eyes, feeling that his three views were about to be subverted.
"Yes, yes." The young man lowered his head and pulled the corners of the hospital gown with his slender white hands. He seemed to know that what he said was not good, and a faint blush appeared on his face.
"You...where are your parents? Did they give you money?" Xu Rongrong's eyes widened in disbelief. She had seen many rich people, many of whom doted on their children and gave them a lot of money. But among those children, there were no
Anyone can throw away a million for a bowl of chicken soup, and no one dares to say that he is so poor that he only has money...
In the next second, the young man's face suddenly changed. From a slight pink just now, it turned a little purple, then a little gray, and finally turned completely pale.
Xu Rongrong was startled. She didn't know what she just said had violated the boy's taboo, and could actually make his face change like this.
After a while, the young man lowered his head and said dullly, "I don't have parents."
"..." Xu Rongrong had never encountered such a situation. Although she wanted to comfort the young man immediately, she really didn't know what to say or what to do.
With no other choice, Xu Rongrong could only look to Zhan Yiyang for help.
Zhan Yiyang reached out and patted her shoulder, and said softly, "How long have you lived here alone?"
"I've been living alone for about..." The young man lowered his head, stretched out his fingers and counted, then looked at Zhan Yiyang seriously and whispered, "I've been living here alone for three months."
"How did you spend the three months without your parents?" Seeing this, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but interject, but his delicate eyes were already a little misty.
"How do you live..." The young man tilted his head and put his right index finger on his head, looking innocent and cute, "This is how I live."
The young man smiled at Xu Rongrong, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing his white teeth. On that delicate face, there was a sense of beauty like a hundred flowers blooming.
Then, Xu Rongrong saw the young man return to the hospital bed quickly, reached out and took out a walkie-talkie from the cabinet, and said to the other end of the walkie-talkie, "I'm hungry."
About three minutes later, a yawning nurse came to the boy's bed and stretched out a hand.
Xu Rongrong glanced out the window subconsciously. The neon lights in S City were already lit up, and it was already late at night.
When Xu Rongrong's eyes moved back from the window, what he saw was the young man putting a hundred-dollar bill in the nurse's hand.
The nurse was not surprised, but took the hundred dollar bill and left as usual.
Xu Rongrong looked at the young man in confusion. It was not until the young man made a ghostly smile on her that she suddenly realized that she actually went to help the young man buy things.
"What a little devil." Xu Rongrong nodded helplessly. I didn't expect that he would come up with this method to buy food. It's really lazy people who have lazy tricks.
The young man spread his hands, as if to express that he had no choice but to do so.
However, Xu Rongrong didn't think much and just waved to him, then handed him the chicken soup that Zhan Yiyang had just put in another white porcelain bowl.
"Thank you..." When taking the soup, the young man said thank you hesitantly. It could be seen that he had not said it for a long time.
Xu Rongrong looked at the boy tenderly, with a mother's love in his eyes.
Women naturally sympathize with the weak. Although at first the boy's bad attitude made Xu Rongrong feel that he was uneducated and rude, but when the boy told him that he had no parents, Xu Rongrong's heart was softened.
A boy without parents is so pitiful. Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong remembered his straight eyes when he looked at the chicken soup, and his heart softened. He didn't care about a million and handed the chicken soup directly to him.
juvenile.
Seeing the boy sipping the chicken soup in small sips without daring to swallow it in large gulps, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
"Don't worry, eat. There's still a lot." Xu Rongrong stood up and placed the thermos cup in front of the boy.
When the young man lowered his head, he saw that there was still half a cup of chicken soup. He couldn't help but his eyes became a little more eager. Looking at Xu Rongrong's expression, he also felt a little grateful.
However, he still sipped the soup in small sips, his movements were gentle and polite, and it seemed that he had been carefully taught.
If you look carefully at the young man's every move, although he occasionally acts rudely and speaks rudely, at other times he always reveals a trace of elegance inadvertently.
Xu Rongrong secretly analyzed that this child's parents might be really rich and well-established. As for why the boy became like this, he probably still had to ask himself.
Just as I was thinking about these things, there was a noise outside the door. The nurse who just took a hundred yuan from the boy threw the thing in her hand to the boy and turned around to leave.
"Hey, that person, where is the remaining money?" Xu Rongrong glanced at the lunch box and asked the nurse in confusion.
It’s just a lunch box, no matter how expensive it is, it doesn’t cost more than a hundred yuan.
The nurse was stopped by Xu Rongrong, but ignored her. She just rolled her eyes and walked away without even stopping.
"You..." Xu Rongrong stared at this rude nurse with wide eyes, feeling extremely angry.
From which school can a nurse who graduates be so rude and become an angel in white?!!
The young man who was drinking soup noticed Xu Rongrong's anger. He gently put down the white porcelain bowl, reached out to pick up the lunch box, and said as usual, "Don't call her, it's become a rule. All the money left over to buy me a meal is
Theirs.”
"It's all theirs? What's the rule? Why do you have to give them money?" Xu Rongrong's eyes widened in confusion. Do nurses in this hospital still charge to buy a meal?
"That's it, they help me buy food, and I give them the remaining money as travel expenses." The young man picked up the disposable chopsticks and said calmly, without any expression on his delicate face.
Xu Rongrong was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that there would be such a person who asked for travel expenses while buying a meal.
It’s really hard on this child. He must have been living like this for the past three months.
Xu Rongrong looked at the young man sympathetically, and his eyes fell on the lunch box in his hand.
"Oh my God..." Xu Rongrong screamed. She looked at the lunch box in the boy's hand in disbelief. She pointed at the white rice and green vegetable leaves in the lunch box with her right hand. Her voice became slightly hoarse due to the damage, and she couldn't help it.
He became sharp, "That woman took away a hundred yuan, and she actually brought a meal like this? This meal obviously doesn't cost more than five yuan at most..."
Five yuan for food and ninety-five yuan for travel expenses. That nurse had a really dark heart.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this boy is only fifteen or sixteen years old. It is the time when his body is growing. There is not enough fish and meat every day, but the nurse actually only feeds the child green vegetables and leaves.
…
"You, you eat this every day?" Seeing the young man skillfully picking a chopstick of rice and stuffing it into his mouth, Xu Rongrong asked with some distress.
"It doesn't matter. Occasionally, you can eat meat once in a while, but you have to pay two hundred yuan." The young man lowered his head and smiled shyly. Under his palm-sized face, there was a deep clavicle, which made Xu Rongrong feel distressed.
, it is obviously a treasure that should be held in the palm of the hand, but it is so abused that it cannot even eat meat.
"Those hateful nurses." Xu Rongrong lowered her head to prevent her moist eyes from being discovered. She sniffed slightly while scolding those nurses.
Fortunately, she had a bad voice, so she didn't let the boy check for clues.
But Zhan Yiyang keenly noticed her misty eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just held Xu Rongrong tightly, giving her warmth and strength.
After about three minutes, Xu Rongrong calmed down and let her moist eyes dry up. Then she raised her head, looked at the boy tenderly, and said softly, "The rice doesn't taste good. Come and try the meat in the chicken soup, Sister-in-law Ming."
The stew is delicious.”
After saying that, Xu Rongrong pushed the thermos cup in front of the boy.
The young man was slightly startled. His dark eyes were quickly covered with a layer of crystal. Because his skin was very fair, his red eye sockets were clearly visible.
Xu Rongrong was startled. She didn't expect that just such a gentle word would make the young man's eyes turn red.
"Don't cry, be obedient, and eat the chicken quickly, it's almost cold." Looking at the boy's red eyes, Xu Rongrong said with a forced smile.
"Yes." The young man nodded, lowered his head and put down the lunch box in his hand, then picked up the thermos cup and bit into the chicken bite by bite.
Xu Rongrong held her chin up and stared at the boy eating, but unexpectedly saw ripples in the chicken soup, and she couldn't help but be startled.
"Are you okay?" Xu Rongrong tilted his head and asked worriedly.
"No." The young man replied in a low voice, his slightly hoarse voice revealing that he was crying.
After Xu Rongrong was stunned, he took out a tissue in a panic and handed it to the boy.
The boy took the tissue and did not wipe his tears. Instead, he held the tissue in his hand and said nothing.
Xu Rongrong didn't speak, but just looked at him gently.
After a long time, the young man opened his thin lips and said a faint word, which made Xu Rongrong burst into tears instantly.
He said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious."
