Su Cheng leaned against the headboard, crossed his legs, and swayed as he grinned at Su Xianyi.
"Sis, you have good taste. Although Brother-in-law looks gentle, smart, and caring, you can tell at a glance that he's a good man."
Gentleman?
It was only later that Su Cheng realized how shallow and ignorant he was.
Su Xianyi was constantly observing the situation outside the door, afraid that Lu Shiyuan would suddenly return.
"Sister, do you need help?"
"I just need you to shut up!"
"..."
Su Cheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
At this moment, he was living under someone else's roof, so he had to be cowardly.
**
Lu Shiyuan went out for a long time and only returned after about half an hour. He bought some fruits and even got a PSP game console and handed it to Su Cheng.
"This... Is it for me?" Su Cheng was stunned.
This concern…It was too sudden.
"It's for you to pass the time."
Su Cheng thanked him and took it, then winked at Su Xianyi.
Brother-in-law was too reliable.
"Why did you buy fruits? He's only in the hospital for a few days. He can't eat so much." Su Xianyi said.
"The patient needs to be nourished."
He was a doctor, so naturally, whatever he said was right.
"Then this game console is..."
"It's Old Xiao's. He's been busy recently and doesn't have time to play. It's a waste to have it idle." Lu Shiyuan said matter-of-factly.
"Is this Uncle Xiao's from earlier?" Su Cheng sized up the PSP.
"Uncle Xiao?" Lu Shiyuan raised his eyebrows.
It was one thing for this fellow to fan the flames, but he actually insisted on giving him seniority and thought of ways to take advantage of him.
"Uncle Xiao helped a lot when Little Cheng was hospitalized this time. When I arrived at the hospital, my mind was quite chaotic. Fortunately, he was there. If there's a chance, I'll treat him to a meal and thank him properly." Su Xianyi said.
Lu Shiyuan said bluntly, "I'll help you ask him out."
"That's for the best. You're colleagues, so you know when he's free."
"Indeed, I should thank him properly…"
Lu Shiyuan casually placed his fingers on his knees and gently knocked on them, deep in thought.
--
Five to six minutes later, the door to the ward was pushed open.
"Little Cheng, I'm here-"
Xiao Dongyi appeared with dinner in his hands, his face beaming.
When he saw Lu Shiyuan, his smile froze on his lips.
What the f * ck?
It wasn't even dark yet, and he had already seen a ghost?
"Shi, Shiyuan?"
"Long time no see." Lu Shiyuan smiled at him, and Xiao Dongyi was so scared that his soul almost flew away.
Long time no see! We just saw each other two days ago!
"Uncle Xiao, why are you bringing us food again? You're making me feel embarrassed." Su Xianyi didn't know that he would come to deliver dinner.
"You're welcome. I happened to be on duty tonight. I thought that you guys definitely hadn't eaten yet, so I bought it on the way."
Xiao Dongyi caught a glimpse of the PSP in Su Cheng's hand and immediately recognized it as his own.
Lu Shiyuan, you really know how to make the best use of everything. You're using my things to please your brother-in-law?
Su Xianyi hurriedly took the lunch box from Xiao Dongyi's hands. Su Cheng, on the other hand, had been observing their interaction. This strange uncle seemed to be quite afraid of his uncle.
In his heart, he was certain that this future brother-in-law of his was definitely someone important!
No matter what, it was important to cling to the right thigh.
..
Xiao Dongyi had prepared a sumptuous dinner. Fortunately, Lu Shiyuan was around, so it was not wasted.
After they finished eating, Xiao Dongyi was like a hardworking bee. He helped put away the lunchboxes and asked Su Cheng if he needed hot water. He could go get some water. He wished he could leave this place immediately.
Su Xianyi was too embarrassed to make him busy, so she had to help. The two of them were polite to each other, and they went to the water room together.
Only Lu Shiyuan and Su Cheng were left in the room.
Su Cheng sized up the person in front of him. No matter how smart he was, he was still a kid. He lacked experience and could not see through him.
He felt that Lu Shiyuan would be a good brother-in-law. Most importantly, his sister liked him. He would definitely help, but he could not be too direct.
He couldn't just tell him that his sister liked him.
If he rejected her, what would happen to his sister's pride?
Not only did he have to keep his sister's secret, but he also had to help out. This was really difficult for him.
Su Cheng was still young. From what he knew, he felt that he had encountered a world-class problem. He sighed.
It was so difficult to help someone fall in love. It was even more difficult than the college entrance examination.
"You're sighing, are you feeling unwell?" Lu Shiyuan asked.
"I'm fine." Su Cheng shook his head obediently.
"Do you want an apple?"
"Sure."
Su Xianyi had been worried that Su Cheng would spout nonsense after she left.
However, when she pushed open the door, she saw the two of them. One was peeling an apple with his head lowered, while the other was eating an apple silently.
After Su Cheng finished eating, Lu Shiyuan handed another one over.
Su Xianyi frowned.
Did they have something against apples?
Su Cheng also wanted to be arrogant and act like a brother-in-law, but he was scared.
Usually, he would not mind spouting nonsense, but the person in front of him was related to his sister's future happiness. Before he knew the other party's situation, he did not dare to act rashly.
Humans were all like this. The more they cared, the more careful they were.
--
After dinner, they naturally talked about helping Su Cheng overnight.
"Sis, I'm fine now. I don't need anyone to accompany me tonight."
Su Xianyi cared about him, and Su Cheng naturally knew how to care about her.
"You're fine alone?" After experiencing the sudden situation last night, Su Xianyi was definitely not at ease.
"Old Xiao is on duty tonight, he can help."
After Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, Xiao Dongyi was dumbfounded.
He was just making it up. In order to make Su Xianyi feel better, he said he was working tonight.
Your brother-in-law is sick, and I'm always at his beck and call. I've brought him food and hot water, but you didn't say thank you and actually asked me to help him overnight.
Was this something a human could do?
Su Cheng didn't want to overwork his sister, and Lu Shiyuan tried his best to recommend Xiao Dongyi. The result was:
Xiao Dongyi, who had come to deliver dinner, had inexplicably become Su Cheng's overnight hospital helper.
**
Dijing Garden.
When the elevator reached the tenth floor, Su Xianyi looked at the person beside her. "Uncle, are you going to take the cat home?"
"I'll go see it first."
Just like that, Lu Shiyuan entered Su Xianyi's house.
When Little Gutsy saw him, it meowed excitedly.
"Have a seat first. The house is a little messy."
Last night, she took Su Cheng to the hospital in a rush. Today, she rushed back to the hospital with his clothes. She didn't have time to clean up. In addition, Little Gutsy's cat fur was a little messy.
Su Xianyi wanted to leave a good impression on Lu Shiyuan, so she was busy cleaning up. After a long time, she did not even get him a glass of water.
"Uncle, what do you want to drink…"
She turned her head and asked, but she stopped before she could finish.
Lu Shiyuan leaned against her sofa and fell asleep. Little Gutsy lay on his lap and lazily closed its eyes to rest.
He must be tired after running around for two days.
Su Xianyi gentled her movements and changed the lights in the living room to a soft light that was not dazzling.
In this season, it was hot during the day, but cold at night. She tiptoed back to the room to get a thin blanket and carefully covered him.
She bent her knees and bent down to look at him.
His breathing was deep as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
She didn't know where the impulse came from, but Su Xianyi reached out and touched his glasses tentatively.
She already had an idea in her heart:
She wanted to see what he looked like without his glasses…
