In the following days, Wen Liang had classes at school and rehearsals for the school anniversary, so it was impossible to take care of He Tianran every day. This gave him some time to think quietly.
However, despite not having the girl's care, He Tianran still recovered well in the hospital. Speaking of which, Xue Yong's nose bridge repositioning operation was very successful, which made He Tianran breathe a sigh of relief. After all, people inject themselves. If If it leaves any sequelae or affects his image in the future, he will definitely feel sorry for himself.
"Oh, Director He, don't worry about it. This punch you gave me can be called a punch in return. According to the doctor, my nose was straightened a bit by you, making it even more handsome!"
Xue Yong said this jokingly when he came to visit one day.
"It seems I'm not strong enough!"
He Tianran joked.
Others said they didn't care, but He Tianran definitely didn't care. He then solemnly apologized to his brother's parents, and the two elders readily forgave him. His father even said with a smile that this kid should have been overdue for a long time. You've been beaten. It's normal for boys to fight and fight. You two should get together more often when you have free time. Don't let this make you estranged.
He Tianran didn't know how He Panshan handled this matter, and he didn't want to think more deeply, but he could tell that Xue Yong's father really wanted the two of them to get closer in the future.
How should I put it? This may be... the pattern of the older generation?
On the third day after being admitted to the hospital, Wen Liang's father Wen Ruian also came. This one was even more of a heavyweight. Just kidding, their two apprentices were fighting, and they were both from rich families. If this spread spread, it would not be good for the reputation of the boxing gym.
Originally, the parents on both sides had settled the matter and did not want to trouble him. However, the old father asked about the cold fish soup when he came home at the weekend and asked He Tianran if he wanted to learn boxing. He kept in touch. If you don’t attend, you won’t come to the boxing gym to report. Besides, who are you making this fish soup for? Carrying a thermos bucket, where are you going?
The girl was caught in the act, but she didn't want to hide it after all, so she just said it casually.
So that evening, the teacher arrived at the hospital in a hurry with a fruit basket in his left hand and a bucket of cooked fish soup and dishes in his right hand.
However, Wen Liang did not follow.
Later, she sent a message to He Tianran, saying that her mother wouldn't let her go out on weekends. As for the specific reason, she didn't tell him, and He Tianran didn't ask.
Let's talk about Wen Liang's father. If businessmen are about structure, then this martial arts practitioner is about rules. After distinguishing the primary and secondary reasons, this powerful master directly pulled He Tianran out of the bed and pulled him to In Xue Yong's ward, in front of other parents, he pressed his head and asked him to apologize again.
This battle frightened Xue Yong's parents. Those who didn't know it thought he was He Tianran's biological father.
"Your father asked me to discipline you well. He paid your tuition fees for the next four years in one lump sum."
In the ward, Wen Ruian was sitting beside He Tianran's bed with a stern look on his face. However, in his hands, he peeled an orange for He Tianran like a tiger sniffing roses, but he was not in a hurry. Instead of giving it to the young man, he held it in his hand.
"Your father is usually busy and asks me to help discipline you. This is not a problem, but the prerequisite is that you recognize your talents. Xiaohe, I know you are not a morally corrupt person, but if you want to continue to learn boxing in the future, this This kind of thing can't happen again. If you don't want to learn, I will return the money to your dad."
In front of Father Wen, He Tianran really didn't dare to make any mistakes.
"Master, what are you talking about? It's a great honor for me to continue to learn boxing from you. The situation between Xue Yong and I is a bit special, but I promise you, there won't be another time."
Father Wen nodded, with a hint of kindness in his eyes. He was about to hand out the orange when He Tianran stretched out his hand, but the other party pulled his hand back again and asked in confusion:
"By the way, how did Wen Liang know about your fight?"
"Huh?" He Tianran's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Originally, at our school anniversary party, she and I were both freshmen representatives who were going to speak on stage. Since I didn't go to the rehearsal, the counselor called her to ask, and she called She asked me on the phone, so I told her, after all, it would be disgraceful to tell such things, and Xue Yong and I had no intention of letting you know."
Fortunately, the military training between him and Wen Liang did not reach Father Wen's ears. The old father looked at He Tianran with tiger eyes, paused for a few seconds, and there was a faint flash of lightning in his eyes, which scared him to the point of losing his temper. Dare to take a breath.
"I see."
After a while, Father Wen said in a deep voice, and He Tianran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao He, Master wants to talk to you about your emotional affairs. As men, we must first put our sense of responsibility and responsibility first. If you break up with your girlfriend, it will also affect Xue Yong. This The nature of the matter is extremely bad. It should frighten the people who love you, and it is not something done by a man. After this time, you must take it as a warning. Now that you are all reconciled, you must put away your stubbornness and be good. Do you know about others?"
Father Wen finally handed the orange in his hand to He Tianran, but the latter was feeling bitter and couldn't express it.
Strangely enough, when Xue Yong was explaining something to his parents, he switched places with He Tianran, and now these elders all think that he is the one who likes to have fun outside.
And because Cao Aiqing had taken care of He Tianran that day, the elders also saw it, so they naturally thought that the two had reconciled.
Xue Yong had an argument with He Tianran about this matter before, saying that if Tingting was just telling the truth, he would definitely not be able to spare him. He Tianran had no choice but to suffer the consequences of being dumb now. He could only say "hmm" twice to turn the "scumbag" The name of "male" was recognized.
"It's rare for you and Wen Liang to go to the same school now. Although we take care of each other in school, after all, men and women are different. I know that your young people's ideas are no longer as conservative as ours, but you still have to keep a little distance. That's fine, because you also have to consider your girlfriend's thoughts, and you can't let others misunderstand her. Wen Liang, a wild girl, is usually very carefree, so if your girlfriend asks, you must explain it clearly to her. "
Father Wen's words were sincere and sincere, but He Tianran was only obedient.
"One more thing, tell me honestly, does Wen Liang have a boyfriend at school?"
He Tianran immediately shook his head: "No!"
"real?"
Maybe because he felt that his answer was a little awkward, he added: "Well... there are a few people who like her, but she didn't agree. Master, you also know that Wen Liang is beautiful and has a personality that boys like. …”
Wen Ruian nodded: "That's good. I was quite puzzled when I saw her making soup alone in the kitchen today. When I asked, I found out that it was brought to you. It seems that you have a good relationship, but you are both such adults. Yeah, you have to know how to avoid suspicion."
"……okay."
On this day, He Tianran ate oranges and drank warm fish soup, feeling warm and conflicted in his heart.
Two days later, Sun Ze, the school counselor, came to see him. Also with him were the two buddies from the dormitory and the young couple Li Wang and Sheng Qidong. They chatted about the grand occasion of the school anniversary and sighed. He Tianran really missed a highlight moment in his life.
Of course Wen Liang also came, but He Tianran has been taken care of by the family's housekeeper, Wang Ma, for the past few days. With the elders present, it was hard for her to talk, not to mention that she is now a freshman, and she is busy with her freshman year homework. , so I can only come and go in a hurry every time.
He Panshan and Tao Wei would come here every now and then, and He Yuanchong also came once during the period, but they only stayed for an hour or two each time, and then left after checking the situation, so during this period of injury, they stayed with He Tianran. Instead, it was the housekeeper and aunt in the family who watched him grow up.
Speaking of Wang Ma, He Tianran always thinks of a movie called "Sister Tao". In today's context, "housekeeper" or "domestic helper" in the traditional sense are already very unfamiliar terms, but Positioning her as a "nanny" is far from matching her weight in the He family.
This woman is only eight years older than He Panshan, but she has indeed served three generations of the He family, old, middle and young, so her status in He Tianran's heart is far more important than Tao Wei's stepmother.
Wang Ma arrived at the hospital after a delay of two days. She happened to go back to her hometown to visit relatives. Later, when she heard He Panshan talking about He Tianran's injury, she rushed back in a hurry overnight. The first thing she saw when she walked into the ward was He Tianran. Tears fell from her eyes instantly. She held the boy's hand and told him to go home and recuperate all night long and stop being angry with his family.
He Tianran was moved from the bottom of his heart by this, because compared to He Panshan's strength and Tao Wei's strangeness, Wang Ma is the only person in the entire He family who can make him feel family affection.
"By the way, Xiao He, why haven't I seen your girlfriend after I've been here for so many days?"
On this day, Wang Ma asked curiously after changing medicine with He Tianran.
"We broke up." He Tianran said awkwardly.
He Tianran did not hide this elder. In fact, as early as after the college entrance examination, He Tianran told Wang Ma about his relationship with Cao Aiqing, and even sent her a photo of the two.
"Oh, you kid really doesn't know how to cherish me. What a pity! Originally, your mother planned to meet her when she came back this time."
When Wang Ma heard this, she stamped her feet, clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen, with a look of regret and blame.
He Tianran was startled: "My mother? My mother also knows about this?"
"Yes, when you sent me the photo, I sent it to your mother to see. We both liked this little girl. She looked gentle and quiet. I was very moved and said that there were some shadows of your mother when she was young. . Xiaohe, is there some reason why you like her? You can’t imitate your dad. I see that you usually chat with me, and when you describe someone else, isn’t she a very sweet and caring girl? Why? Just break it up?"
Hearing what Wang Ma said, especially the one that said Cao Aiqing was somewhat similar to his mother, He Tianran suddenly lost his mind.
Why did I like Ai Qing in the first place?
Maybe this factor is really at work in my subconscious mind, because in my impression, my mother has always been a quiet and tough image, and due to the long-term loss of the role of mother, I have become dissatisfied with Cao, who has a similar temperament. Ai Qing has a natural affection.
"Wang Ma, you don't want to say this. What do you mean by imitating my father? It would be bad if Aunt Tao hears it."
He Tianran laughed, not wanting to continue the topic of breaking up.
"There are no outsiders..."
Even though she said that, Wang Ma couldn't help but lower her voice, then rolled her eyes and asked again:
"Xiao He, tell Wang Ma honestly, did you break up with Xiao Cao because of...that classmate Xiao Wen who came to see you yesterday?"
He Tianran burst into laughter. Yesterday Wen Liang came with his classmates. Seeing the elders present, the main speaker was also the counselor, so the two of them really didn't say a few words. After knowing that Wang Ma was not strict with her words, , he didn’t dare to say more, he just smiled and asked:
"Wang Ma, how good are you at singing? Why do you ask this?"
The housekeeper who managed the family affairs in an orderly manner stamped her foot again and said: "Oh, Mother Wang eats more salt than you eat rice, and I am not blind. This little girl has been in the ward since she entered the hospital. Your eyes are wrong!"
He Tianran was amused by the mentality of such a shrewd and gossipy woman, "You don't like other people? What's wrong with your eyes? How can it be so serious?"
This time, Wang Ma was in a dilemma. She struggled in her mouth and said slowly: "This... little girl is indeed pretty, but... but... don't laugh at Wang Ma for being old-fashioned. She...she just learned acting...I think...well...it's not as good as Xiao Cao...it's a pity."
Seeing Wang Ma shaking her head, He Tianran understood.
"Wang Ma, I am also studying drama now."
"Why are you kid... Oh, you said you are different from your dad. I think you and your son are both the same. You are really pissing me off..."
After hearing what the child said, Wang Ma covered her heart, a bitter look suddenly appeared on her face, she took a few steps back and sat aside, sighing.
He Tianran was frightened by her actions and quickly got up to take care of her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Mom, I have a heart problem. It's hereditary in my family... Don't be anxious. Just take a break and it'll be fine."
He Tianran patted the elder on the back and said, "Wang Ma, don't think too much. I broke up with Xiao Cao for another reason. It's not worth getting angry for."
In just one minute, Wang Ma's face suddenly turned pale and slowly returned to color. She patted He Tianran's hand and murmured kindly:
"Good boy... Wang Ma knows that you are a good boy. Oh, if you like it, I will like it. It's okay, I'm okay. You can go back and lie down..."
He Tianran said worriedly: "Wang Ma, otherwise... I'll accompany you for a physical examination. It's convenient since it's in the hospital anyway."
After He Tianran said this, he looked at the face of this relative, and suddenly several pictures flashed through his mind without warning, and his ears heard a burst of noise that seemed to come from a very far distance——
The mournful mourning hall, the heart-wrenching mourning, and the harsh quarrels...
Who died?
Who is crying?
Who is quarreling with whom?
These flashing white scenes and the shrill noise instantly filled He Tianran's brain. His eyes were closed tightly and his brows were furrowed because he had a splitting headache. This was a violent and intense feeling that seemed to have ripped open his brain and forced countless amounts of dirt and filth into it. Pain!
He Tianran couldn't bear it and fell to the ground. He held his head with his left hand and rolled on the ground like a loach. Waves of wailing came from his mouth. His mind was completely absorbed in these pictures and sounds. He The more I try to distinguish and see clearly, the more painful it becomes.
"It's okay, Xiao He. My family arranges for me to have a physical examination every year. It's an old problem."
As Wang Ma's words of refusal came to his ears, He Tianran was instantly freed from the inhuman pain. He suddenly came back to his senses and found that he was still standing beside Wang Ma, his left hand gently stroking the other person's back. Looking at the floor of the ward, it seemed that the scene of falling to the ground in pain just now was just a temporary hallucination...
He Tianran broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to persuade...
He sat back on the hospital bed silently. Mother Wang looked at the child who suddenly fell silent, a little confused, and was about to ask what was wrong, but the other party said:
"Wang Ma...I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning. Please take me to Chuanling Temple..."
"Quanling Temple? Why did you think of going there?"
He Tianran smiled tiredly and said feebly:
"It's nothing. I asked for a signature there before. This time I want to go and fulfill my wish. By the way... pray for peace."
When Wang Ma heard this, she had no doubt that he was there and quickly agreed:
"Yes, yes, you should ask Bodhisattva to bless you. I will ask your Uncle Hu to drive over tomorrow morning and take us with him."
