After wiping the sweat from his second son, Chen Liyang went to the canteen to make porridge for Xiaobei.
"Xiao Bei, are you feeling better?" Seeing that Chen Liyang was gone, Zhou Chengnan walked to his brother's bedside.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Xiaobei lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks were almost sunken.
This made him blame himself a little. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have said he wanted to eat at the buffet, and Xiaobei wouldn't have broken his stomach.
Seeing the second brother coming, Xiaobei was very happy: "Second brother, are you here to see me? I'm fine, I'm much better!"
Seeing Xiaobei's grin, Zhou Chengnan looked a little guilty, and then nodded unnaturally: "Yes, I came to see you. Does Xiaobei miss your second brother?"
Xiaobei, who still didn't know that he had been deceived, nodded repeatedly: "Then I must have thought about it. Not only do I miss you, I also miss my third brother and sister. The hospital is so boring."
"If you hold on for a few more days, you can be discharged from the hospital!" Zhou Chengnan comforted him.
After saying that, he found that Xiaobei didn't know what he had thought of, and was shyly covering his eyes with his hands, enjoying himself alone.
He asked funnyly: "Xiao Bei, what are you laughing at? Is there anything you are happy about? Tell me and make my second brother happy too!"
Xiaobei opened the gap with his fingers, exposed his eyes, and said shyly: "Second brother, I called you daddy!"
After saying that, his whole face turned red, but the happiness on his face could not be hidden.
Zhou Chengnan was stunned for a moment: "You...what did you say?"
"I said I called daddy. He is really nice. How about you call me daddy too?" Xiaobei put down his hand and looked straight at Zhou Chengnan with his big clear eyes.
He didn't know what the second brother was thinking. He only knew that Chen Liyang was so good to them, so he should call him dad to make him happy.
"Kids, isn't he your biological father?" The old lady smelled a hint of gossip.
She had asked Chen Liyang before, but was rebuffed.
Now that he is away, it is a good time to ask. You must know that her gossip has long been spreading in her heart like a virus, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Only then did Xiaobei realize that he had forgotten that there was someone else in the ward, and his expression became nervous.
Chen Liyang was their stepfather's business and had always been a secret in the ward. The last time this grandma asked her father, he didn't tell her.
If the old lady finds out and tells dad, will he be angry with himself?
Zhou Chengnan looked at the curious person and said something that did not answer the question: "Experts say that if you want to live longer, you must not meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will not only become bald, but you will also die prematurely!"
When people get older, what they care about most is their own life span. After hearing what Zhou Chengnan said, the expression on the old lady's face froze: "What's the matter with you kid? You look so polite, but why do you speak so rudely?"
"Grandma, politeness is for polite people. It's impolite for you to come up and ask about my family's privacy."
Well, I can't tell the big ones, and now I can't even tell the small ones. The old lady simply shut up. She shouldn't have to ask more questions.
Why are everyone in this family so tight-lipped? There is nothing they cannot say.
Even if it wasn't her biological child, she wouldn't say anything.
These days, there are many people who like to be fathers and mothers. There is not much more than him, and I will not laugh at him.
Seeing that the old lady was quiet, Zhou Chengnan withdrew his gaze, but did not continue Xiaobei's topic.
He was not surprised at all that Xiaobei called him daddy so quickly. Xiaobei himself was young and timid, the kind who only cared about eating but not fighting.
In addition, when he was hospitalized, Chen Liyang was always taking care of him. After being together for so long, it was normal to have feelings.
It's just that Xiaobei said it rashly and he couldn't react for a while.
But if he suddenly changed his name to dad, he still couldn't do it. Although he had forgiven him and longed for his care, he wanted him to call him dad. This alone was not enough to make him change his tune.
After a while, Chen Liyang prepared a serving of millet porridge. It was still hot, so hot that his palms turned red.
As soon as he entered the ward, he quickly placed the box containing millet porridge on the bedside table.
Then he went to the bathroom and rinsed his hands with cold water, and then he felt better.
"I'll feed Xiaobei in a moment. You hurry up and eat!" Zhou Chengnan looked at the person who came out and said.
Chen Liyang nodded: "Okay, you can feed it when it cools down later, otherwise it will easily burn Xiaobei."
Both inside and outside the words were filled with concern for Xiaobei.
It is often this unconscious concern that is the most real.
Looking at the people who had opened their lunch boxes and were eating, Zhou Chengnan felt dazed.
In just thirty days, he changed from a vicious stepfather to a considerate, gentle and careful stepfather. What exactly supported him to make such a change.
Even Xiaobei changed his name to dad, which was something he never dared to think about before.
Chen Liyang noticed the second child's gaze, and he raised his head and looked at him doubtfully: "What's wrong with Chengnan?"
Zhou Chengnan, who was caught, was a little embarrassed: "No...it's nothing..."
Chen Liyang didn't think much and went back to work.
Today's meal is different from what the boss usually brings, so I guess it was cooked by the second one.
Although his cooking skills are not as good as those of the boss, he still has to eat them even if they come all the way.
Seeing that Chen Liyang was eating so deliciously, Zhou Chengnan was in a good mood and picked up the millet porridge, preparing to feed the fourth child.
"Second brother, I'm afraid it will get hot!" Seeing that the second one didn't even blow on the cock, Xiao Bei put the millet porridge into his mouth. He didn't dare to open his mouth.
Zhou Chengnan paused for a moment, then took a few puffs helplessly: "It's not hot anymore, eat it quickly!"
Xiaobei then opened his mouth to eat. The millet porridge tasted sweet and tasted pretty good.
It's just that he just had his stomach tube removed. Although he can eat something, he can't eat too much. He has to let his stomach rest for a while.
After eating seven or eight bites, Xiaobei shook his head to show that he was full.
Zhou Chengnan knew that the patient's appetite was not very good, and he had just undergone gastric surgery, so it was normal to eat less.
Hearing that Xiaobei didn't want to eat, he didn't force it.
However, Chen Liyang felt sorry for him, and stopped eating after just a few bites. That was not enough to fill the gap between his teeth!
But he also knew that Xiaobei had just had his stomach tube removed and not only had to eat liquid food, but he couldn't eat too much. He could only worry about the child and work hard to make food.
After eating, the second child was not in a hurry to leave, saying that it was a rare occasion and he wanted to spend more time with Xiaobei.
Thinking that Xiaobei had his second son with him, Chen Liyang didn't urge him to go home.
The two brothers were cultivating a relationship together, but he couldn't chat with them, so Chen Liyang decided to go out for a walk next time.
After staying here for so many days, except for following the boss yesterday, which was the farthest place he had ever been, the rest was the canteen downstairs.
It happened that while the fourth child was being taken care of, he went to the hospital for a walk. He was almost rusty after being in the ward every day.
Looking at the person who just left, the second child was stunned.
