Since all the boys have said so...
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
"No, no."
Gu Xiaotang waved her hands hurriedly.
If he really had something serious to do, he would be very happy if classmate Xiao said so.
But in fact, he has nothing serious to do.
When classmate Xiao said this, he felt a little guilty.
"Classmate Xiao, just follow your own ideas."
"No need to worry about me."
"If it doesn't work this time, we can make an appointment next time."
Gu Xiaotang's eyes lit up.
That’s fine too.
He had been thinking about making an appointment with classmate Xiao to enhance their relationship.
But there was never a legitimate reason for him to call classmate Xiao confidently.
Mainly, classmate Xiao doesn’t feel like a very warm person.
Is he afraid that being too enthusiastic will backfire?
It would be bad if classmate Xiao thought that he had ulterior motives.
Although he does have some "ulterior motives".
…
"I see."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Then I'll leave first."
"Um."
Gu Xiaotang waved, "Goodbye, classmate Xiao."
…
After watching Xiao Xiao's figure disappear behind the door of the hospital building, Gu Xiaotang turned around.
He wasn't going to the inpatient building.
…
"Mr. Zhao."
Long time no see -
Xiao Xiao's brows wrinkled slightly.
"What's wrong with you?"
The old man's face was not very good.
His eyes, which in his impression were always energetic and different from those of most old people, also became a bit cloudy.
Xiao Xiao was actually not that surprised.
The old man had specifically asked him not to come over some time ago...
He knew that what the old man was going to face was not a very pleasant thing.
That's why he said those words to the old man, putting the old man's body first in everything.
Nothing is more important than a healthy body.
The old man is recovering.
Originally, this injury caused a great loss to the old man's energy and spirit.
If during this period, we encountered any other troubles that affected the old man's recovery...
It would be difficult for the old man to return to his previous state...
…
"Little friend Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao's keenness as always made the old man smile bitterly.
He couldn't help but reached out and touched his face.
"Is it obvious?"
Before little friend Xiao Xiao came, he tidied himself up carefully.
It seems... I still can't hide it from little friend Xiao Xiao.
…
"It is clear."
Xiao Xiao noticed that the flowers in the glass vase beside the old man's bed had withered.
His head drooped.
The color is dull.
A few petals that were dry and seemed to have age spots curled up and fell on the table.
…
"Mr. Zhao, please wait for me."
Xiao Xiao quickly threw away the withered words, washed the glass bottle, and then inserted the flowers he brought in.
Adjusted the position of the flower slightly.
Xiao Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
…
The glass flask is crystal clear.
There was a glimmer of water inside.
The slender flower branches are well-proportioned.
Against the background of a few water drops, the flowers become more and more beautiful.
A faint floral fragrance filled the air.
The old man took a deep breath subconsciously.
The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed, "It smells so good."
…
"Mr. Zhao, drink tea."
Xiao Xiao handed the teacup to the old man.
The quiet fragrance of tea and the pleasant fragrance of flowers mixed together, and the old man couldn't help but feel a little fuzzy.
…
After a sip of tea, the old man's features became brighter.
"As expected of Xiao Xiao's little friend's tea."
"Delicious."
"As long as you like it."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
…
After taking another sip of tea, the old man held the tea cup in his hands.
"Thank you, little friend Xiao Xiao."
The old man's eyes lit up slightly.
"The old man is feeling much better."
"if……"
The old man sighed and swallowed the next words.
…
"Ouch~"
Huzi walked to Xiao Xiao's side.
The old man was stunned.
He looked at Huzi and then at little friend Xiao Xiao.
"Little friend Xiao Xiao..."
"Mr. Zhao, have you not eaten well these days?"
Xiao Xiao's words made the old man look startled.
Then the old man shook his head and said, "Huzi, how come you and Xiao Xiao are suing the old man as soon as little friend Xiao Xiao comes?"
Good guy.
He never knew that Huzi had such a hand.
He can even file a complaint.
…
"Mr. Zhao."
Xiao Xiao didn't let the old man change the subject.
"It's not good for you to do this."
The old man suddenly became embarrassed.
He glared at Huzi slightly.
It's all because of you guys talking too much.
Huzi flicked his tail and looked at him with a very leering look.
Deserve it.
elder:……
…
"Mr. Zhao, regular diet is very important."
Xiao Xiao’s interaction between the old man and the monster was somewhat amusing.
It’s just that we can’t be careless about key issues.
"Especially now when you need your most attention."
"……I know."
The old man sighed deeply in his heart.
"I know everything."
"But I just can't eat it."
The old man smiled bitterly, "What do you think we should do?"
"Why can't you eat it?"
Xiao Xiao's question made the bitter smile on the old man's face become even stronger.
Why can't I eat it?
because……
"There's something on the old man's mind."
The old man still couldn't help but say it.
His brows were furrowed.
A look of distress on his face.
…
"What's up?"
Xiao Xiao took advantage of the situation and asked.
He knew whether the old man had encountered something, or it was something related to the old man's family.
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores.
Even if he couldn't help, as a listener, Xiao Xiao thought he was still qualified.
"Would you like to talk to me?"
“Sometimes it’s painful just to keep your head to yourself.”
And it's easy to get into the horns.
“You may find something unexpected after you tell it.”
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"At least the mood will be lighter."
...
The old man stared at Xiao Xiao for a while.
Xiao Xiao did not dodge or evade, and his expression was gentle.
In the end, it was the old man who looked away first.
He looked out the window at the clear sky.
sunny.
The weather is fine.
It should have been a pleasant day.
pity.
The old man sighed inwardly.
His mood was cloudy, with lightning and thunder from time to time.
No matter how bright the sunshine from the outside world is, it cannot shine into his obscure heart.
...
"...It's not a big deal."
After a few breaths of silence, the old man spoke.
"It's just the old man's family business."
"...I'm embarrassed to involve little friend Xiao Xiao in the old man's family affairs..."
...
"...I left home early."
The old man's sudden confession made the ward a little quieter.
"It's not like my family doesn't have any opinions."
"In their mind, it's definitely better to have a stable and decent job."
"If you want to travel, you can wait until the holidays."
"I have been struggling for a long time."
"Every year I go back, the same words will be repeated over and over again."
As if thinking of those words, the old man pressed his temples with a headache.
"I ultimately didn't comply with their wishes."
"In their eyes, I'm afraid I'm a bad boy who insists on going his own way and doesn't listen to advice."
The old man smiled bitterly.
