That night, Chen Mo originally planned to find an internet cafe or something to hang out the whole night after the infusion, after all, the school had a curfew. But not only did Gou Yiyang not leave, but not long after Chen Mo finished the infusion, Xi Siyan, who he thought had left, appeared in the corridor again and asked him to go to the ward, saying that there was an empty bed.
Chen Mo didn’t act pretentiously at this time and went.
It’s almost midnight.
The nurse hung his IV bottle on the head of the bed, gave some instructions, looked at the boy lying on the bed, and then looked at the other two people standing on the left and right of the bed.
“Classmate?” the nurse asked Chen Mo.
Chen Mo half leaned back, nodded and said “hmm”.
The nurse smiled and said, “You two classmates have a good relationship. I stayed with you in the hospital late at night. But after midnight, only one person can stay with you. You can sleep on the folding bed next to you. It’s a little hard, but young guys can make do with it.”
Chen Mo: “It’s okay, they will be back soon.”
The nurse said nothing more, nodded and left.
As soon as the nurse left, Gou Yiyang dragged out the folding bed and said, “I’m not going back. I’ll stay here with you tonight.” Then he looked up at the other side and said, “Brother Yan, you should go back. I see you are dressed like this. Do you have anything to do tonight?”
“Nothing.” Xi Siyan withdrew his gaze from Chen Mo’s infusion tube.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
As soon as the call was connected, the voice on the other end could be vaguely heard even in the overly quiet ward in the middle of the night. And it didn’t sound unfamiliar. It was actually the student council member Sun Xiaoya.
Sun Xiaoya said loudly: “Everyone asked me to ask where you are?”
Xi Siyan: “What for?”
It seemed that they were in a very lively place on the other side, and there were sounds of fireworks exploding, accompanied by the playfulness of young men and women. It seemed that someone came close to Sun Xiaoya’s phone, talking in a flurry.
“Where have you been all night, old Xi? Come quickly!”
“Xiaoya, please ask him to hurry up. We specially arranged to meet at Binhai Beach, and someone has been waiting for him all night. How can he be so tactful!”
“Liao Tingting, why are you blushing?”
“Go to hell!”
The last voice that came was a young girl’s voice, which sounded both tender and angry. Sun Xiaoya seemed to be afraid that she couldn’t hear it clearly on the phone, so she walked to a relatively quiet place.
Sun Xiaoya: “Why are you asking? Didn’t I tell you it’s Tingting’s birthday? What time can you arrive?”
“I can’t get there.” Xi Siyan changed his phone to another hand, “I’m in the hospital.”
“Fuck! You even went to the hospital just to avoid her?” Sun Xiaoya’s voice was a little shocked, but soon it was filled with anger. She said, “No matter what, you have to come tonight. I’ve already said it. And Yang Shule is here too. So many people are watching us. If you embarrass me, I’m afraid Yang Shule will wake up laughing in his dreams tonight.”
Xi Siyan: “Sun Xiaoya, are you sick?”
Suddenly hearing Xi Siyan swearing, Gou Yiyang in the ward shrank his neck and gave Chen Mo a terrifying look.
Chen Mo leaned against the pillow on the bed and watched Xi Siyan drag a stool over and sit down. His long legs wrapped in trousers seemed to have nowhere to go. He stretched forward and then bent back. With his elbows on his knees, he said to the phone: “Don’t you feel comfortable if you don’t do something every day? Just have a good birthday. You hate people but still invite them here. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?”
“Didn’t he provoke you first? Besides, everyone else invited us to the party but didn’t invite him, making it seem like we were ostracizing him. Others may not know, but I saw it a long time ago. Yang Shule simply likes you! It makes me want to vomit just talking about it!”
I don’t know whether she was simply attacking Yang Shule, or attacking the fact that a boy likes other boys.
Xi Siyan frowned: “You like it whether you open your mouth or close it. Do you know what love is with your head full of quadratic equations?”
“What are you talking about? Do you really like him?”
“If you keep failing to deliver the ivory, I’ll die.”
“So are you coming or not?”
“No.”
“How can I believe that you are really in the hospital unless you have a more convincing reason than your leg is broken.”
“Wait.”
Xi Siyan threw down two words and hung up the phone.
The phone call seemed to make him a little angry. He frowned, raised his phone to the direction of the bed, clicked it, clicked on the social software, searched for the person’s name, and clicked send.
Gou Yiyang waited for him to finish the operation on the other side, and then said: “I didn’t expect the student council member to be so irritable. Class monitor, you and the student council member seem to be more familiar with each other than I thought.”
Xi Siyan looked up at him and said, “When she was three years old, she would knock on my door while wearing open-crotch pants, and then cry for me to save her brother Qi Lin. Oh, Qi Lin stole cherries from the house next door and was almost sent to the hospital for a tracheotomy.”
Gou Yiyang almost died of laughter.
Even Chen Mo curled the corners of his mouth.
Before the curve of his mouth could be retracted, Xi Siyan looked over.
“Does your stomach still hurt?”
Chen Mo: “Much better.”
“Well, I took a picture of you, do you mind?”
“Do you mind if you pull back?”
Xi Siyan glanced at his phone and said, “I can’t withdraw. The time has passed.”
Chen Mo: “…Is it a good shot?”
Xi Siyan glanced at his phone again and nodded hesitantly, “Is it… OK?”
The slight upward curve at the end of the tone made Chen Mo not comment on it, but it really made Sun Xiaoya on the other side of the phone stunned for a long time.
The beach is bustling at night.
Many wealthy young men from Suicheng gathered here and held a beach party to celebrate the fact that the beautiful girl standing in the center in a white dress had turned eighteen.
In the seemingly lively crowd, there is probably more than one person who is absent-minded at this moment.
In particular, someone saw Sun Xiaoya holding a mobile phone and asked loudly: “Xiaoya? Have you finished the call? When will Brother Yan come?”
Because of this voice, Sun Xiaoya felt a lot of enthusiastic gazes.
Expectant, curious, vaguely excited.
Sun Xiaoya wore a knee-length black dress tonight. She walked over and put her arm around Princess Liao’s arm, and apologized softly, “Tingting, I’m sorry. I guess I can’t come to Xi Siyan.”
The hope in the long-haired girl’s eyes slowly died, and she whispered, “Ah, you’re not coming? I know.”
Sun Xiaoya was so distressed that she quickly said, “He has something to do. He didn’t mean to miss the meeting.”
“Yeah.” Someone next to him answered, “Isn’t there an important dinner party at the Xi family today? He might not be able to get away, right Shule, didn’t you go there with your parents? You should have seen him.”
The person who was suddenly called was standing with a few boys who were on good terms with him.
The 17-year-old boy was stunned at first, then he smiled amidst all the gazes, nodded and said, “Yes, he should be very busy tonight. Uncle Xi and Aunt Xi specifically told him not to run around.”
As soon as these words came out, what was greeted was not various echoes and persuasions, but a sneer from Sun Xiaoya.
As if she had finally caught the chance, she said with disdain, “How do you know he’s busy? He didn’t even attend the dinner tonight. He’s in the hospital.”
Yang Shule was stunned.
Someone nearby suddenly said, “Look at the campus group of No. 1 Middle School.”
Some of the people present were not students of No. 1 Middle School, but were of similar age. When they couldn’t see what was on their own phones, they leaned over to look at the phones of the people next to them.
This is not an official group, but a gossip group where many people chat privately.
It’s just that this group has been quiet for a long time because we heard that a teacher had sneaked into the group to spy on the students some time ago. But tonight, around eleven o’clock, someone posted a video of about seven or eight seconds in the group.
It happened to be the scene where Xi Siyan was carrying someone out of the KTV.
Because of the angle, Chen Mo’s face was not captured in the picture.
Up to now, the speed of sending messages in the group is still as fast as the barrage of messages.
[An hour has passed, has anything been figured out yet? ]
[As expected of the Creator’s biological son, Xi Siyan is so handsome, and even more handsome when he hugs a man. ]
[Am I the only one who noticed that the waist of the person being hugged is quite thin? ]
[I’ll give you ten minutes. I want to know all the information about that mysterious boy! ]
[Some people want to lick it. Can you see the situation? Judging from the situation at the scene, something must have happened. 】
[Indeed, the one being hugged should also be from our school. ]
…
All the noise on the beach slowly died down.
Groups of three or five were discussing this matter.
The man who had just sworn that Xi Siyan was very busy because of the dinner party, now stared straight at the mobile phone interface with his eyelashes drooping, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
After a while, he looked up, seemingly nonchalant, and even asked Sun Xiaoya in a friendly manner: “It seems that you know what’s going on.”
The others also looked over.
Sun Xiaoya met Yang Shule’s gaze, and gave a wicked smile, not knowing what she was thinking of.
“Of course it’s because of your good brother.”
Teenage girls can’t stand being humiliated. If someone makes her unhappy, she will express her displeasure in a more direct way. She opens her phone and almost smacks the other person in the face.
Sun Xiaoya: “It’s obvious that he’s sick. Xi Siyan didn’t even bother to attend Tingting’s birthday this late at night, which proves that he can’t leave home without someone. He was finally found by your Yang family, but you didn’t have the heart to trouble your parents. After all, you still live in the Yang family, but he lives in the school dormitory and has no one around him. Since you always say that Xi Siyan is polite to you for the sake of the Yang family, you won’t mind if Xi Siyan helps take care of him now, right? His surname should have been Yang.”
These words plunged the scene into endless silence.
They were all a group of pampered children. They had heard about the Yang family’s affairs to some extent, but due to their status and upbringing, they would never say anything to anyone in person. However, they would still invite Yang Shule to join them at various gatherings.
But Sun Xiaoya’s words tore the fig leaf to pieces.
Yang Shule’s expression finally couldn’t hold up anymore.
He stared at Sun Xiaoya and said, “I know you hate me because of that incident, but I’ve already explained it. I didn’t know Liao Tingting was going to confess her love to A Yan that day.”
Liao Tingting, who was affected nearby, turned extremely pale, her face full of embarrassment of being exposed in public.
Sun Xiaoya was furious and cursed: “Yang Shule, you are a psychopath! You are addicted to acting. What about Ah Yan? You called Ah Yan by that name! You are just a thief who stole someone else’s identity and is still showing off everywhere. You are really brave. Why don’t you leave the Yang family!”
Everyone watched as Yang Shule stared at Sun Xiaoya fiercely for a few seconds, and then said, “Sun Xiaoya, why are you standing up for Chen Mo? Did I force him to live on campus? He’s been in the spotlight recently, but suddenly he’s too sick to walk. Only a fool like you would believe that!”
Yang Shule’s vaguely out-of-control emotions really surprised a group of people.
After all, when the youngest son of the Yang family often appeared behind Xi Siyan in the past, everyone’s impression of him was basically that he was humble, polite, and sincere to others.
But Yang Shule couldn’t bear it.
When he saw the video in the group, he couldn’t bear it anymore.
Many things have made him feel uneasy recently.
The eldest brother, who never went to his school before, made a trip last time for Chen Mo’s matter.
Parents also asked Chen Mo why he didn’t come back on weekends.
What’s more important is the banquet.
They became deskmates, she stood up for him in math class and wanted to help him get into the top ten in the grade.
He acted like a good boy in front of the elders of the Xi family at the banquet tonight, and then Chen Mo appeared in the hospital with Xi Siyan.
How did things gradually become like this?
He went from being confused to beginning to feel vaguely afraid.
The world outside seemed to have turned upside down.
In an ordinary ward of the hospital, the lights were off.
After the infusion, Chen Mo, who no longer felt any discomfort, lay drowsily on the single bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a slight sound coming from the folding bed, and his eyeballs trembled slightly under his closed eyes.
Like being awake, but not so awake.
Mihu said: “Is the Simmons mattress in your home not soft enough, or are the dozen servants not able to serve you well? You are willing to suffer this just to avoid a girl who admires you. Is the folding bed comfortable?”
After saying that, I heard the person on the folding bed turn over.
There was a slight sneer.
“It’s quite comfortable and fresh.”
“What’s wrong? Then don’t turn over. It’s disturbing people’s sleep.”
“Tsk.” The person on the folding bed looked unhappy, but because the breathing not far away calmed down again, he held back the words that came out of his mouth.
The ward fell silent again.
There was only the faint flickering of the phone screen’s light and that slightly amusing sentence.
“It’s obvious that you’re the only one who can sleep.”
Don’t disturb anything, don’t bother to know.
