Chapter 2092 Bad Boy

Since the boys said so...

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

"Don't."

Gu Xiaolang waved his hands hurriedly.

If he really had something important to do, he would be very happy to hear what classmate Xiao said.

But in fact, he didn't have anything serious to do.

He felt a little guilty when classmate Xiao said that.

"Student Xiao, just follow your own ideas."

"No need to worry about me."

"If it doesn't work this time, we'll make an appointment next time."

Gu Xiaolang's eyes lit up.

That’s fine too.

He had been thinking about asking Xiao to meet up to improve their relationship.

But there has never been a legitimate reason for him to call Xiao with confidence.

The main reason is that Xiao doesn’t give people the impression of being a very warm person.

Is he afraid that being too enthusiastic might backfire?

It would be bad if Xiao thought I had ulterior motives.

Although he does have some "ulterior motives".

……

"I see."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Ah."

Gu Xiaoyan waved, "Goodbye, classmate Xiao."

……

After watching Xiao Xiao's figure disappear behind the door of the inpatient building, Gu Xiaolang changed direction.

He wasn't going to the inpatient building.

……

"Mr. Zhao."

I haven't seen you for more than half a month.
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

The old man didn't look very good.

The eyes that he remembered were always energetic, unlike those of most old people, also became a little cloudy.

Xiao Xiao was actually not that surprised.

Since the old man specifically told him not to come over some time ago...

He knew that what the old man was about to face was not a very pleasant thing.

That's why he said those words to the old man, putting the old man's health first in everything.

Nothing is more important than a healthy body.

The old man is recovering.

This injury was a huge drain on the old man's energy and spirit.

If during this period, there are other troubles that affect the old man's recovery...

It would be very difficult for the old man to return to his previous state.

……

"Little friend Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao's usual sharpness made the old man smile bitterly.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.

"Is it obvious?"

Before Xiao Xiao came, he tidied himself up carefully.

It seems... I still can't hide it from my friend Xiao Xiao's eyes.

……

"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 dry petals, which looked like they had age spots, curled up and fell on the table.

……

"Mr. Zhao, please wait for me."

Xiao Xiao quickly threw away the withered flowers, washed the glass vase, and then put the flowers he had brought into it.

Slightly adjusted the position of the flowers.

Xiao Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

……

The glass bottle is crystal clear.

The water inside is shimmering.

The slender branches are arranged in an orderly manner.

Against the backdrop of a few water droplets, the flowers look even more beautiful.

A faint floral scent fills the air.

The old man subconsciously took a deep breath.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed, "It smells so good."

……

"Mr. Zhao, have some tea."

Xiao Xiao handed the teacup to the old man.

The subtle tea fragrance mixed with the pleasant floral scent made the old man feel a little intoxicated.

……

After taking a sip of tea, the old man's features became clearer.

"It's worthy of being the tea from Xiao Xiao's family."

"Delicious."

"As long as you like it."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

……

After taking another sip of tea, the old man held the cup in his hands.

"Thank you, Xiao Xiao."

A faint light appeared in the old man's eyes.

"The old man is in a much better mood." "If only..."

The old man sighed and swallowed the rest of his words.

……

"Ow~"

Hu Zi walked to Xiao Xiao's side.

The old man was taken aback.

He looked at Hu Zi, then at his friend Xiao Xiao.

"Friend Xiao Xiao..."

"Mr. Zhao, have you not eaten well these days?"

Xiao Xiao's words made the old man look stunned.

Then the old man shook his head and said, "Huzi, why do you complain about me to Xiao Xiao when he comes?"

Good guy.

He never knew Hu Zi had this skill.

Even complain.

……

"Mr. Zhao."

Xiao Xiao didn't let the old man change the subject.

"You are not doing this well."

The old man suddenly felt embarrassed.

He glared at Hu Zi slightly.

It's all because of you who talks too much.

Hu Zi swung his tail and glanced at others with a disdainful look.

Deserve it.

elder:……

……

"Mr. Zhao, regular diet is very important."

Xiao Xiao found the interaction between the old man and the monster somewhat amusing.

But the key issues cannot be ignored.

"Especially now when you need to pay attention the most."

"……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 say we should do?"

"Why can't you eat it?"

Xiao Xiao's question made the old man's bitter smile even more intense.

Why can’t I eat?

because……

"The old man has something on his mind."

The old man couldn't help but say it out loud.

His brows were furrowed.

A face full of distress.

……

"what's up?"

Xiao Xiao asked.

He knew that the old man had encountered some problems, or it was something related to his family.

It is said that even a fair judge cannot judge family disputes.

Even if he couldn't help much, Xiao Xiao believed that he was still qualified as a listener.

"Would you like to tell me about it?"

“Sometimes it’s painful just to be alone with your thoughts.”

And it's easy to get stuck in a dead end.

“Maybe there will be unexpected discoveries after speaking out.”

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"At least it will make you feel lighter."

The old man stared at Xiao Xiao for a while.

Xiao Xiao did not dodge or evade, and his expression was gentle.

Finally, the old man looked away first.

He looked out the window at the clear sky.

sunny.

The weather is fine.

It should have been a nice day that made people feel happy.

pity.

The old man sighed inwardly.

His mood was cloudy with occasional lightning and thunder.

No matter how bright the sunshine outside is, it cannot shine into his dark heart.

".It's not a big deal."

After a few moments of silence, the old man spoke.

"It's the old man's family affairs."

".I am embarrassed to involve Xiao Xiao in the old man's family affairs."

".I left home very early."

The old man's sudden confession made the ward even quieter.

"My family members have opinions as well."

"In their opinion, it is definitely better to find a stable and respectable job."

"If you want to travel, you can wait until the holidays."

"I struggled with this for a long time."

"Every year when I go back, the same words are repeated over and over again."

As if he was thinking of those words, the old man pressed his temples with a headache.

“I didn’t follow their lead in the end.”

"I'm afraid in their eyes, I'm a bad kid who insists on his own way and refuses to listen to advice."

The old man smiled bitterly.
