Shih Yunnan stayed in the hospital for an entire week. It was only after confirming that Old Master Wen’s condition had improved that he could finally relax.
The door of the VIP ward opened.
The medical staff who had finished the examination walked out. “Old Master Wen is awake and conscious. Family members can go in and chat with him now.”
“Okay, thank you, doctor.”
Wen Yanfeng hurriedly expressed his gratitude and gestured for Song Zhiqiu to follow him in.
Wen Yibei was about to follow when she realized that Shih Yunnan had no intention of moving. “… Yunnan?”
Shih Yunnan stood rooted to the ground and hesitated. “Brother, go in and accompany Grandpa. It’s fine as long as he’s fine. I … I don’t want to go in.”
For the entire week, whenever he met Song Zhiqiu, Song Zhiqiu did not treat him well.
Even though Song Zhiqiu was concerned about her status as Wen Yibei’s aunt, the disgust in his eyes was very obvious.
Shih Yunnan knew what Song Zhiqiu meant. He did not want to stay in the Wen family at all. Now that Old Master Wen was out of danger, he had fulfilled his responsibility to take care of him.
“Why don’t you go in?”
Wen Yibei frowned slightly and grabbed her brother’s wrist. “Yunnan, you’re not the one who did something wrong. You shouldn’t be the one who should be ashamed to see others.”
In comparison, the real culprit, Wen Chenglang, had gone into hiding and ‘disappeared’ since the day of the accident. He had not appeared until now.
Wen Yibei was afraid that the people in the ward would hear the gossip, so she took a deep breath and approached Shih Yunnan. “Do you really want to hide abroad and not come back?”
“Yunnan, I’m your brother. I know what you’re thinking.”
“I’ve lived in the Wen family since I was young. Some people in the family will inevitably have opinions about me. They won’t treat me better just because you give in. You’ve already given in to me once when you were young. I won’t allow you to give in again.”
“If you insist on leaving …” Wen Yibei made a decision. “Fine, I’ll go with you.”
In any case, they were already adults. Would they really die if they left the Wen family?
He owed Old Master Wen a debt of gratitude for raising him, and he would definitely find a way to repay him in the future. However, he could not watch his younger brother leave with a groundless accusation!
They wouldn’t admit to anything that wasn’t wrong.
“Brother, you …” Shih Yunnan knew Wen Yibei’s character very well.
Normally, he treated people gently and politely, but once he decided on something, even ten oxen wouldn’t be able to pull him back.
Wen Yanfeng’s voice suddenly came from the ward. “Yibei, Yunnan, come in.”
Shih Yunnan hesitated for two seconds before he finally grabbed Wen Yibei’s hand. “Brother, let’s go in. I don’t plan to leave.”
Wen Yibei nodded.
Old Mr. Wen was still on a ventilator in the ward, but his eyes were still clear.
He noticed the two brothers from the corner of his eye and shouted in a low and steady voice, “Yibei, Yunnan, come here … Come closer to Grandpa.”
Song Zhiqiu, who was standing by the bed, heard this and reluctantly took two steps back. However, he turned to look at Shih Yunnan with a faint warning in his eyes.
Shih Yunnan ignored the hint in his eyes. He took a deep breath and took the initiative to walk up. “Grandpa, how are you feeling?”
Old Mr. Wen reached out his hand with the needle in it to Shih Yunnan. “I’m, I’m fine.”
Shih Yunnan took the initiative to hold Old Mr. Wen’s slightly warm fingertips and made up his mind. “Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have argued with Wen Chenglang in front of you that day …”
Song Zhiqiu heard this and thought that Shih Yunnan took the initiative to take the blame. However, he didn’t expect Shih Yunnan to continue.
“Do you still remember who pushed you to the ground?”
“…”
Old Mr. Wen’s eyes flickered for a moment. He moved his lips weakly and stopped talking.
Shih Yunnan held Old Mr. Wen’s hand tightly. The grievances of the past few days began to surge in front of the truth. “Grandpa, I know your health is the most important thing. I also know that to you, the palm of your hand and the back of your hand are your flesh and blood.”
“But even if the person who has done wrong is afraid and unwilling to admit it, you shouldn’t distort the truth.”
“I’ve been wronged enough since I was young. This time …” Shih Yunnan gritted his teeth and held back his sobs. “I don’t want to be slandered again!”
Song Zhiqiu, who was behind him, heard this and immediately jumped out to criticize him. “Shih Yunnan, it’s all in the past. Your grandpa has just woken up. Why do you have to mention it? Do you have to make things difficult for him? “
“Look at how wronged you are. While your grandpa was hospitalized, we … “
“Enough.”
Old Mr. Wen raised his voice to stop him and coughed again.
When Wen Chenglang saw this, he quickly helped to soothe the other side of the bed. “Dad, don’t be anxious. We’re all here.”
Old Mr. Wen looked at Wen Yanfeng and held Shih Yunnan with his right hand. “Yanfeng, that child, Chenglang, should be taught well. Yunnan didn’t lie.”
Old Mr. Wen didn’t expect Wen Chenglang to cry and apologize. He also understood that the other party had made an unintentional mistake in his impatience that day. However, he didn’t want him to grow up to be an irresponsible person.
Song Zhiqiu’s face turned red. He was about to exonerate his son. “Dad, don’t listen to Shih Yunnan’s nonsense. Chenglang is still young. How could he …”
Old Mr. Wen calmly interrupted him. “Yes, Chenglang is still young. So take this opportunity to teach him well. He can still change.”
“…”
Song Zhiqiu was speechless.
Old Mr. Wen gently stroked the back of Shih Yunnan’s hand. “Yunnan, Grandpa knows that you’re sensible and obedient. You’ve already grown up. Neither the Shi family nor anyone else can force you to do anything … “
“If anything happens in the future, Grandpa will stand up for you. Don’t suffer anymore, understand?”
Shih Yunnan’s eyes turned red. “Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Good child.” Old Mr. Wen shifted his gaze to Wen Yibei, who was at the end of the bed. “Both of you are good children.”
“Let’s go out first. Grandpa still has some things to say to your uncle and auntie in private.”
At this age, Old Mr. Wen had been on the brink of death.
Although his children and grandchildren had their own blessings, Old Mr. Wen still wanted to rectify the problems that had existed between his son and daughter-in-law for many years within his power.
“Okay.”
“Grandpa, don’t tire yourself out. I’ll come and accompany you later.”
Shih Yunnan and Wen Yibei left the ward one after another.
Shih Yunnan’s depression over the past few days disappeared at this moment. He even took the initiative to smile.
Wen Yibei walked over and patted her brother’s head. “Aren’t you feeling wronged now? I’ve already told you that Grandpa treats us and Cheng Lang the same way. “
Old Mr. Wen was more inclined to take care of the two brothers because they had lost their mother when they were young.
Shih Yunnan knew that he had been too stubborn earlier. His face turned slightly red. “Yes, I just wanted to clarify it personally.”
“When do you plan to go back to study abroad? You will be going to university in the second half of the year. Have you chosen a university? Do you still have to prepare for the exams? “asked Wen Yibei with concern.
Wen Yibei had won a music award at the beginning of the year. Last month, he was accepted by a well-known music school.
Everyone said that an elder brother was like a father. Now that he no longer had to worry about his studies, he naturally began to worry about Shih Yunnan’s studies.
Shih Yunnan had rushed back to attend the birthday party. He had originally planned to stay in the country for two days before leaving. However, he was not in a hurry to go back to school because of Old Mr. Wen’s sudden illness.
Shih Yunnan looked down. “Brother, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. It won’t affect my studies.”
He glanced at the sunset at the end of the corridor. For some reason, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. “Brother, I’m going out for a while. I won’t be going back to the hospital for dinner.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to see someone.”
After Shi Yunnan said this with a smile, he ran out with light steps.
…
7: 00 pm.
Luo Lingsheng returned to his residence and suddenly saw a familiar figure on the stone block in front of the unit entrance hall.
Shi Yunan, who was wearing a white T-shirt, was sitting on a stone block. The night lights had already been lit, and they shone through the branches. The light and the shadows of the trees fell on his body, and he was so white that he seemed to be glowing.
Soon, Shih Yunnan noticed Luo Lingsheng looking at him from the corner of his eyes. He turned around and ran over with a smile. “Mr. Luo … Mr. Luo, we meet again!”
“You’re squatting in front of my house. It’s hard not to want to see you.” Luo Lingsheng responded to his words. There was a flash of joy in his eyes. “Why are you looking for me?”
Shih Yunnan looked at the night sky and sighed regretfully. “Because today’s sunset is very beautiful, so I want to share it with you.”
However, he did not have Luo Lingsheng’s contact information. He could only use the stupidest method of ‘waiting for an opportunity to come’.
Luo Lingsheng did not expect the other party to come to see him for such a ‘special’ reason. He was momentarily stunned. “What?”
“I said, the sunset is very beautiful, so I want to see you.” Shih Yunnan stared at the person in front of him and repeated with a clear smile.
Luo Lingsheng suppressed the subtle feeling in his heart and responded calmly. “It’s a pity that there’s no sunset now.”
“It’s okay.” Shih Yunnan took half a step closer and liked to communicate through his eyes. “After all, I found that Mr. Luo is more beautiful than the sunset.”
“… …”
The seemingly indiscernible teasing made Luo Lingsheng’s heart, which had always been calm, suddenly beat wildly. He had to control his breathing to avoid any loopholes. “Are you done?”
When Shih Yunnan saw that Luo Lingsheng was still unmoved, ripples of disappointment swayed in his heart — —
It was said that the probability of ‘love at first sight’ was very small. It seemed that their current feelings were still one-sided.
Shih Yunnan had been abroad for a long time. He was very open to his sexual orientation.
However, Shih Yunnan was still young. He did not have a reckless style and temper. Before, he had not met anyone who could move his heart and make him impulsive enough.
But now, standing in front of him, Luo Lingsheng was his heavenly dish.
Shih Yunnan did not have the courage to directly take advantage of him. However, he could try his best to take advantage of him. After all, opportunities were grasped and created by oneself.
“Mr. Luo, have you eaten?” Shih Yunnan changed the topic.
Luo Lingsheng, who had casually eaten dinner at the company because he got off work at the last minute, replied, “… … Not yet.”
When Shih Yunnan heard the answer he wanted, he immediately asked, “In order to thank you for taking me in last time, can I treat you to dinner?”
Luo Lingsheng, who had already expected the other party’s intention, curved the corners of his mouth without leaving a trace. “Yes, sure.”
Half an hour later.
Shih Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng were sitting in a uniquely decorated French restaurant.
Shih Yunnan scooped a spoonful of fresh fish soup and asked tentatively, “Does Mr. Luo usually go to a star-rated restaurant? Are you used to the food here? “
Luo Lingsheng saw through Shih Yunnan’s lack of confidence hidden in the depths of his pupils. He calmly cut the red meat on his plate. “Yes, I’m not picky.”
Shih Yunnan, who got this answer, secretly sighed in relief. “That’s good.”
To be honest, his current financial resources were limited.
In order to buy Wen Yibei a custom-made suit as a birthday gift, Shih Yunnan had almost spent all of his savings.
While waiting for Luo Lingsheng, he searched through the restaurants and reviews on his phone. This French restaurant had the best reviews and was an excellent quality restaurant that he could afford.
Luo Lingsheng vaguely guessed Shih Yunnan’s concerns and asked indirectly, “I heard that you’re studying abroad?”
“Yes.”
“University?”
“In the second half of the year.”
It was just a few simple words, but it made Luo Lingsheng feel pressured by the invisible age gap.
They were only six years apart.
I shouldn’t be considered old, right?
Luo Lingsheng thought about this question in the depths of his heart for no reason. Suddenly, he heard Shih Yunnan opposite him say, “But I plan to transfer back to China to study for another year and take the college entrance exam again.”
Luo Lingsheng was a little surprised. “Isn’t it good to stay abroad?”
Shih Yunnan drank two mouthfuls of soup and said nonchalantly, “Do you want to hear the truth? It’s too stressful to study abroad because I don’t have money. “
“…”
Luo Lingsheng frowned subconsciously. “Old Master Shi doesn’t care about you?”
Although it was rumored that Shih Yunnan was the most disliked young master in the Shi family, in any case, it was Old Master Shi’s decision to study abroad.
Moreover, even without the Shi family, Old Master Wen would not sit back and do nothing.
How could there be too much pressure to pay for school fees?
Shih Yunnan’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. “When I was 15, the Shi family stopped giving me a cent. Now that I’m an adult, why would they care about me?”
His tone was so calm that it was as if he had accepted his fate.
Shih Yunnan was telling the truth. He was not deliberately trying to sound pitiful.
Firstly, he worked part-time on the weekends to earn money. Secondly, he won a scholarship because of his academic results. Moreover, Old Master Wen secretly asked Wen Yibei to give him some money. Shih Yunnan was able to maintain his high school expenses.
Shih Yunnan had previously asked around and found out that the cost of studying abroad was even higher.
After this incident with the Wen family, he was already an adult and could not accept Old Master Wen’s money. He did not want Song Zhiqiu to find out that he had made a mistake.
“I have to earn money to pay for my school fees anyway. Why don’t I go back to China and relieve some of my pressure?” Shih Yunnan had this idea since the beginning of the year.
He did not dare to tell Wen Yibei and the others because he was afraid that his few relatives would be worried.
Now, Luo Lingsheng was not related to him at all. Instead, he was the best listener.
“Many people say that it’s easier to find a job if you go to a foreign university. I don’t think so …” Shih Yunnan paused. He had a clear understanding of his ability and future. “Gold shines everywhere.”
Shih Yunnan’s results were not bad when he studied abroad. Before he made this decision, he had a rough understanding of the domestic education system.
As long as he gave it his all, he still had a good chance of being admitted to a good school in China. After he finished his studies, he could still rely on his ability to earn money to support himself.
“…”
Luo Lingsheng unconsciously tightened his grip on the knife and fork. His heart was stirred up by Shih Yunnan’s words.
He was a typical person who was “born in Rome”. Because his surname was Luo and he was the grandson of Old Master Luo, he had been living in a wealthy and well-respected environment since he was young.
Of course, Luo Lingsheng had never doubted his own ability.
However, if he really wanted to make a comparison, he was probably not as tenacious as Shih Yunnan back then.
When Shih Yunnan saw that Luo Lingsheng did not answer, he thought that the other party did not like this topic. He quickly changed his words. “By the way, did we meet at the birthday party?”
Luo Lingsheng looked up at him. “You remember?”
Shih Yunnan confirmed the answer and shook his head honestly. “No, it’s just that I’ve repeatedly confirmed that I’ve never seen you before.”
The only possible memory was the drunken memory at the birthday party.
Shih Yunnan was too curious about the answer of “first meeting”, so he took the time to ask Wen Yibei for the guest list at the birthday party. In the end, he really received the name “Luo Lingsheng”.
“I’ve lived for 18 years. This is the first time I’ve lifted the ban on drinking and the first time I’ve gone to a bar to drink. In the end, I met you. Don’t you think this is fate?” Shih Yunnan’s eyes sparkled.
He continued to ask curiously, “Mr. Luo, do I look stupid when I’m drunk?”
“It’s okay.”
Luo Lingsheng recalled Shi Yunnan’s coquettish behavior when he was drunk, and a vague smile overflowed from his lips.
The little crying bag who looked wronged was quite cute.
The two of them took some time to finish their dinner. Luo Lingsheng originally wanted to pay the bill on behalf of Shih Yunnan, but after the other party insisted, he had to give up the idea.
When the two of them left the restaurant, it was almost nine o ‘clock.
Perhaps it was because he was full, but Shih Yunnan, who had been staying at the hospital for the past few days and had not rested well at all, actually felt a little sleepy.
Luo Lingsheng saw that he was tired and took the initiative to ask, “Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride. “
“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Shih Yunnan hesitated for two seconds and said casually, “Let’s find a hotel by the roadside later.”
“…”
Luo Lingsheng’s eyebrows furrowed again.
Shih Yunnan actually wanted to make do casually, but when he caught sight of Luo Lingsheng’s expression, he suddenly had an idea. “Luo … Luo Lingsheng, can you take me in for one more night?”
Luo Lingsheng met his expectant eyes, and the words of rejection came out of his mouth. “Didn’t you just treat me to dinner to return the favor for ‘taking me in’ the last time? Now you’re doing it again? “
Shih Yunnan saw that he had a chance and tiptoed closer to him. “… Then can you take me in for one more night? I’ll invite you back next time?”
She was clearly not acting coquettishly, but she looked so soft.
Luo Lingsheng did not answer. Instead, he minded his own business and walked towards the parking lot.
Shih Yunnan looked at his back view. “Mr. Luo? Luo Lingsheng! “
Luo Lingsheng paused slightly. There was a hint of teasing in his voice. “Shortie, keep up with me.”
Shih Yunnan was startled and hurriedly jogged to catch up with him. “You’re obviously too tall. Wait and see. I’m only 18 years old. I can still grow taller in the future!”
…
Luo Lingsheng did not like to talk while driving.
Shih Yunnan did not disturb him. He sucked on a piece of fruit candy and closed his eyes as he leaned against the passenger seat to fight off his sleepiness.
After some time, Shih Yunnan vaguely heard the door beside him move. He almost fell into a dream and was suddenly jolted awake. However, because he had used too much force, he knocked against the door frame.

“Ouch …”
Shih Yunnan fell back into his seat and groaned as he covered his forehead.
This time, his sleepiness was completely driven away by the pain.
Luo Lingsheng opened the door and leaned over to help him unbuckle his seatbelt. “Are you sleepy? Why are you in such a hurry? “
A familiar and pleasant smell entered his nose. Shih Yunnan instinctively reached out and grabbed the sleeves of the person in front of him. “I was frightened by you.”
He rubbed his forehead with one hand. His sleepy voice was soft. “Why did you open my door?”
The side of the car’s headlights scattered, making Shih Yunnan’s slender eyelashes look hazy. His eyes were innocent, but there was an indescribable temptation at the corners of his eyes.
Luo Lingsheng barely stopped his wandering thoughts. “I called you a few times, but you didn’t wake up.”
Shih Yunnan was confused. “Really? Why didn’t I hear anything? “
“…”
Luo Lingsheng did not reply.
In fact, he thought that Shih Yunnan had fallen asleep again. For some reason, he did not want to disturb him, so he planned to carry him upstairs like last time.
Shih Yunnan realized something and suddenly chuckled. “Is it too late for me to pretend to be asleep?”
“What?”
“I want you to carry me upstairs.”
The smile on his face sounded like an invitation that could not be helped.
Luo Lingsheng suppressed his unruly desire. “Since you’re awake, go up by yourself.”
He was about to distance the two of them, but Shih Yunnan grabbed him again. “Wait a minute.”
The two of them looked at each other again.
Shih Yunnan stared at the overly perfect face in front of him. He nervously and expectantly moved his Adam’s apple. “Luo Lingsheng, I’m already 18 years old, and my sexual orientation is …”
“What are you trying to say?” Luo Lingsheng subconsciously interrupted him. He was highly tense.
He still had that mesmerizing scent on him, like a subtle fusion of sea salt and sage, lingering between the two of them.
Shih Yunnan could not help but move closer with the frankness of a teenager. “If you don’t mind, can I, can I pursue you?”
The author has something to say:
# Little Fortune Mud, you don’t have to pursue him. Your husband, he can!
