The surroundings were too quiet, and the corridor of the hospital was empty and lonely. It was as if every sound echoed. Su Xianyi vaguely heard her own heartbeat, violently surging in her chest.
Su Xianyi felt that she was quite useless. He smiled at her, and her soul seemed to be hooked.
She even thought.
She really wanted to be his cat.
"After leaving for a night, I suddenly remembered that your house didn't have windows sealed. I was wondering if the cat would sneak out of the window. I was really worried, so I came back and wanted to watch it personally."
Su Xianyi nodded. "It's very well-behaved."
"That's good."
Lu Shiyuan only felt at ease when he saw her.
At this moment, the wind blew in through the window. The wind caressed the warmth of the setting sun and smelled sweet.
"I heard that your younger brother is hospitalized?"
Su Xianyi thought that Xiao Dongyi must have said it. After all, they were close. "I was scared to death last night."
"Is that so?"
"Actually, he also appeared in the video call yesterday. You should have an impression of him. He stayed at my house last night."
Lu Shiyuan nodded. It was not just an impression, it was a deep impression.
Especially that pair of shorts!
"I'll go and see him. As an elder, since I know that he's sick, it's not appropriate for me to not care and greet him." Lu Shiyuan said matter-of-factly.
He just wanted to see what Xiao Dongyi described as a bright, handsome, and energetic little puppy looked like.
Su Xianyi hesitated again and again, but before entering the ward, she said,
"Uncle, actually, my relationship with him is a little special…"
Lu Shiyuan nodded. "I understand."
"You understand?" Su Xianyi frowned.
She had never told Lu Shiyuan about her family situation. She usually could not tell people about her parents' divorce.
How would he know? Did the Wei family tell him?
--
The door of the ward was ajar. When Su Xianyi pushed the door open and entered, Su Cheng was sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed, holding his phone and playing a game with someone. He listened to the movement and looked in the direction of the sound. His gaze met Lu Shiyuan's and he was stunned for two seconds.
"Little Cheng, this is Uncle Lu."
Lu?
This sensitive word made Su Cheng instantly perk up. However, how could he address him as uncle?
Was he not her brother or husband?
Was this a new way of dating?
Or was this something else?
"Hello, Uncle." Su Cheng called out obediently.
Lu Shiyuan frowned. This kid…
Are you an adult?
Su Cheng was already over 1.8 meters tall and in his last year of high school. After all, he was a student, so his temperament was different from that of a normal person.
Both of them had hidden thoughts in their hearts. After beckoning Lu Shiyuan to sit down, Su Xianyi poured him a glass of water. Since he knew about her relationship with Su Cheng, there was nothing to hide.
"Little Cheng has been having some conflicts with my dad recently…"
"Your dad?" Lu Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and caught the keyword. He was so smart that he instantly understood.
He suddenly felt that it was ridiculous that he had not slept the entire night.
Su Xianyi had always done things with propriety. Why would she let a boy stay in her house for no reason?
After being jealous for so long, this kid turned out to be his future brother-in-law?!
In fact, there were many ways to verify his identity, but Lu Shiyuan had been worried all night. The more anxious he was, the more chaotic it became.
"Yeah, and then he ran away from home." Su Xianyi didn't know what he was thinking and handed him the water. "Have some water."
Lu Shiyuan took the paper cup and looked at Su Cheng. What else did he not understand? "Are you a student?"
"Year three." Su Xianyi replied.
"The college entrance examination is in a few days. Aren't you going to school?" Lu Shiyuan asked.
"I'm a student who was exempted from the exam. It doesn't matter if I participate in the college entrance examination or not."
"That's quite impressive."
"Uncle, what about you? Was the college entrance examination difficult?"
"I don't know. I was recommended too."
Su Xianyi suddenly had the illusion that she shouldn't be here.
Su Cheng nodded. He liked smart people who could speak easily. "Then what do you do?"
"I'm a doctor."
"It's good work, but it's a little hard." Su Cheng smiled at him. "Doctors are more caring. Uncle, do you like cats or dogs?"
Su Xianyi's pupils trembled slightly. She stood behind Lu Shiyuan and kept winking at Su Cheng.
This kid was too smart.
"I have a cat at home."
"Don't tell me it's the one at my sister's house."
Lu Shiyuan took a sip of water and nodded.
Su Cheng's expression could only be described as interesting.
However, Lu Shiyuan's phone vibrated and his grandpa called. "I'm sorry, I have to go out and take this call."
As soon as he left, Su Xianyi warned Su Cheng. "Don't talk nonsense. We're not in that kind of relationship yet."
"I know. I can tell from the way the two of you get along…" Su Cheng was speechless. "You even dare to hit on my Uncle. As expected of my sister."
Awesome!
Su Xianyi gritted her teeth. At this moment, she could finally understand her father's feelings.
