I Won't Be An Elder Brother For Many Years [6]
The black curtains within the room were drawn and the lights weren't on either. It was obviously daytime yet it was dark inside.
A man sat beside the bed, his upper body bare as he smoked. He spat out a cloud of smoke which diffused within the room. His expression was solemn, as though he were pondering over a problem that couldn't be solved.
After a long silence, Chen Liguo opened his mouth first. He said, "Tong-er ah."
The system didn't utter a word.
Chen Liguo said, "How come I feel like something about yesterday isn't quite right."
The system continued to be silent.
Chen Liguo said, "Say, how come Yi Huai arrived so coincidentally ah?"
The system pretended that it was a corpse that couldn't speak and was as quiet as a chicken.
Chen Liguo thought for a moment and said again, "Tong-er, our relationship is so good, you won't lie to me would you?"
The system was cold and detached. "Lie to you about what?"
Chen Liguo spat out another cloud of smoke and said unhurriedly, "Guess."
The system read the Diamond Sutra silently, clearing out its own storage system.
Chen Liguo said, "And guess what I saw……"
The system felt that it couldn't conceal it anymore. Chen Liguo, this little bastard, was as slow as a pig for anything else but it was only in this aspect that his sense of smell was so frighteningly keen.
Then, as expected, Chen Liguo said, "I saw scratch marks on the back of his neck……"
The system distinctly felt its RAM tremble. As an AI, being able to feel such things was truly thanks to Chen Liguo's fortune.
"And most importantly." Chen Liguo said slowly. "I had told my bodyguards beforehand…… If I don't come out within half an hour then go in and chop Angus up……"
System: "……"
Chen Liguo said, "Under what circumstances would they not come in?"
The system felt that Chen Liguo's soy sauce behavior in the previous detective world was completely inexcusable. Chen Liguo's current logic was so tight, his theory was so clear, his observations were so fine——how would this sort of person die in the first few episodes of a detective drama? He was obviously the man who would probably live until the end——facts proved that Chen Liguo was indeed so. He really had lived until the last episode in the previous world.
Chen Liguo continued with his reasoning and said slowly, "Perhaps only after seeing Yi Huai……"
The system had nothing to say in reply.
Chen Liguo put out his cigarette and lit another one, "Say, according to Shen Yucheng's character, would he realize this?"
The system said, "Even you are able to realize this, would Shen Yucheng be unaware?"
Chen Liguo said, "Then let's listen to the explanations of Yi Huai and the bodyguards."
He slowly finished smoking this cigarette, then put on clothes and walked out.
Yi Huai was sitting in the living room watching TV.
Because he knelt on the glass, his knees had suffered serious skin injuries. At this moment, they were bandaged up tightly. The doctor had warned him that he absolutely mustn't exercise vigorously.
The room was absolutely devoid of other people——Chen Liguo became annoyed the moment he saw anyone recently and had dismissed all the servants.
And Yi Huai, who should have been attending school, had asked for leave due to his injuries. He saw Chen Liguo coming down from upstairs and softly called out a 'mister'.
Chen Liguo's face was as cold as ice. He directly sat down across from Yi Huai, his eyes brimming with repressed emotions. However, his voice was still calm. He asked, "When did you arrive yesterday evening?"
Yi Huai calmly answered Chen Liguo's interrogating question, saying, "Past nine twenty."
Chen Liguo asked, "Angus had already disappeared when you arrived?"
Yi Huai said, "Yes."
Chen Liguo said, "Then what did you do?"
Yi Huai grit his teeth and said, "I-I saw Mister's situation and told the brothers with me to check the bar then go out and pursue Angus. I saw that Mister was still intoxicated so I waited downstairs all night."
Chen Liguo asked, "Why didn't you wait on the second floor?"
Yi Huai said lowly, "I thought…… that Mister wouldn't want to see me after waking up."
Chen Liguo expressionlessly took out his phone and told his staff to send the video of the previous night over.
Upon seeing Chen Liguo's actions, Yi Huai was completely calm and didn't show a single trace of panic.
The video was sent over very soon. The contents of the video were unexpectedly exactly as Yi Huai had said. Chen Liguo then called the bodyguards and asked them about last night——but unexpectedly, their description was just about the same as Yi Huai's.
Very good. If it weren't for the system's confirmation, Chen Liguo really would have believed Yi Huai's pretext.
However, the biggest flaw currently was Angus.
Just as Chen Liguo thought of this, his phone rang. He picked up and heard the person on the other end say "Boss, something happened with Angus."
Chen Liguo knit his brows. "What happened?" Hadn't Yi Huai said that Angus had already returned to country N?
The person on the other end said in a flurry, "He died in the airport washroom——"
Chen Liguo clenched his phone for a long time, not uttering a single sound.
Yi Huai observed Chen Liguo's expression. Since he dared to do such a thing, dared to answer in that way, then all the preparations had already been made.
Chen Liguo found that he had really underestimated Yi Huai.
Chen Liguo sighed to the system, "This fellow is pretty good."
The system read its scriptures silently, not wanting to pay attention to Chen Liguo at all.
Chen Liguo said, "Tong-er, not going to say anything?"
The system's tone carried a sort of 'seen through the world of mortals' apathy as it said, "Say what."
Chen Liguo said gently, "Baby, don't despair, I still love you."
Then the system recalled when it had first called Chen Liguo 'baby'. At that moment, its heart became full of sorrow——What goes around would come around sooner or later.
Chen Liguo sighed that this one 'bang' in a more than ten years wait hadn't come easily.
The system's soul flew away, seeming like it had already left Chen Liguo's body.
Chen Liguo remembered what the system had said to him at the beginning of this world. He said with a sigh, "Tong-er, it doesn't matter if I'm this strong. Give me some time and I can still raise an even stronger one."
The system grit its teeth and spat out the word 'paramecium'.
Chen Liguo quit while he was ahead and quickly zipped it.
In Yi Huai's eyes, the Chen Liguo who was taking liberties with the system was meditating.
Yi Huai's back tensed up slightly. Although he felt like he had guaranteed complete success, when all was said and done, he was still afraid of Chen Liguo investigating to the very end.
He could only pray that Chen Liguo wouldn't continue performing an in-depth investigation about this matter now.
Chen Liguo looked at Yi Huai's face and suddenly said a profound sentence, "Say, how do you think Angus died?"
There was a bit of uncertainty on Yi Huai's face. He said, "I don't know either…… The information I got just this morning said that he had already gotten on a special plane to country N."
"Oh." Chen Liguo responded lightly. He stood up from the sofa and left.
Yi Huai looked at Chen Liguo's figure from behind, his palm somewhat sweaty and wet because of his nervousness.
From Shen Yucheng's point of view, Yi Huai had no reason to harm him. Although this matter seemed somewhat fishy, in the final analysis, him getting angry at Yi Huai was just Shen Yucheng venting his anger onto someone who wasn't to blame.
However, his anger continued.
Not a few days later, when Shen Youling came home, she was actually scolded by the father who had always loved her dearly.
"Shen Youling, look at what you're like." Chen Liguo pointed at the messy big pile of things she brought back and said angrily, "A proper girl, not studying properly, just knowing how to exercise, exercise. What's the use of you getting so many abdominal muscles?"
Shen Youling was stunned. She looked towards Yi Huai but saw Yi Huai shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Have a vacation for so many days yet you don't know to come home!" Chen Liguo said. "Spending every day outside——"
Shen Youling was smart as well and knew that she couldn't harden against Chen Liguo at this moment and hurriedly forced her expression to soften, saying, "Dad, I know, don't get angry. Didn't I specially get you a gift?" As she said this, she cautiously and solemnly fished out a Tibetan knife that she had originally intended to give to someone else from her bag.
Chen Liguo's brows wrinkled the moment he saw this knife. He asked, "Where did you buy this knife?"
The smile on Shen Youling's face stiffened.
Chen Liguo said, "I say, no wonder you've gotten darker and thinner again——Shen Youling, you're pretty good, going to Tibet behind my back?"
Shen Youling laughed with a 'hahaha', wanting to divert the topic.
However, Chen Liguo didn't eat this cover of her's and said, "You don't need your pocket money for the second half of the year."
Once he finished saying this, he left, not giving Shen Youling any chance to justify herself pettishly.
Shen Youling's face skewed bitterly. She asked Yi Huai, "What's wrong with Dad recently? How come his temper's so fierce?"
Yi Huai sighed, "Be a bit more obedient in this period of time. The Mister…… isn't in a good mood."
"Aren't you accompanying Dad everyday?" Shen Youling said. "He likes you so much and yet he can be in such a bad mood?"
Yi Huai didn't say a word. Although he hadn't shown any flaws before Chen Liguo about this matter, when all was said and done, he was in the wrong. After returning to his room, the Mister would wash himself for more than an hour every day. This, he knew——Now, he even hated himself somewhat. Hated that he couldn't resist the temptation, harming the Mister into how he was right now. In fact, Yi Huai's self control was usually astonishing. But that day, he didn't know what evil had possessed him to have actually not resisted.
After Chen Liguo turned on the water in the bathroom, he came out and watched his soap opera.
Every day this water had to be kept on for more than an hour to not let down Shen Yucheng's character. Although Chen Liguo felt distress for the water resources, he couldn't be negligent in matters involving going out of character.
Chen Liguo watched the soap opera, lit a cigarette, then smoked leisurely.
The system's mental state had been far from good recently. Although it was as quiet as it was before, Chen Liguo could vaguely hear a hint of sutra reading in its tone when it spoke.
Terrified, Chen Liguo asked, "Tong-er, are you okay? What sort of messy books have you been reading recently?"
The system sneered in its heart. Read? It had already long since stopped reading. Headquarters had provided it the latest version of the Buddhist Sutra——the audio version. It looped in its ears every day, twenty four hours a day.
Chen Liguo was very worried about his system's mental state and said, "Don't take it too hard ah baby!"
The system was cold and indifferent. "Who is your baby?"
Chen Liguo said, "It's it! It's it! It's precisely our adorable system ah."
System: "……" Just as it wanted to get angry, the sound of the Buddhist Sutra sounded in its mind. As a result, its anger was forcible pushed down. It told itself that murdering the host was illegal, illegal, illegal……
Chen Liguo said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Shen Youling."
At the mention of the daughter of fate, the system finally became a bit spirited at last. It said, "Shen Youling's situation seems to be pretty good…… She seems to have found her Mr. Right."
As soon as Chen Liguo heard this, his first reaction was, "What? My daughter already has a puppy love?"
System: "She was only fourteen when she liked Yi Huai."
Chen Liguo expressed that he had nothing to say in reply.
The system sneered at Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo was sad for a while, felt wronged for a while, and then finally accepted this fact with difficulty. He asked, "How's the man?"
The system said, "Better than you."
Chen Liguo: "……"
The system said, "En, at least he is taller than you."
Chen Liguo's tears almost fell down. His family's system had found out his weak spot and didn't need to strike it. It was simply itching to use a tow truck to hammer it.
Not long after he was informed of this by the system, Chen Liguo met Shen Youling's beloved.
At that moment, he was sitting in the car with Yi Huai, looking on blankly as he watched Shen Youling walk out of a shop with her hand linked to another one belonging to an attractive young man.
Chen Liguo's complexion immediately collapsed.
Yi Huai's expression also visibly moved——In truth, he had known about this before Chen Liguo. However, because of that matter, Chen Liguo's mood had been affected seriously and he wanted to wait until his mood got better before telling him gently.
On the other hand, this was good. They were caught red-handed.
Chen Liguo directly got off the car and expressionlessly walked up to Shen Youling.
Shen Youling and that man were given a big fright by Chen Liguo. The man immediately asked, "What are you doing?"
Chen Liguo almost said 'do you'.
Fortunately, Shen Youling reacted quickly. She quickly piled on a smiling expression and said, "Xiao Ze, this is my father."
The boy called Xiao Ze had originally been glaring at Chen Liguo in a fierce manner. When he heard this sentence, he quickly changed his expression and smiled at Chen Liguo in a hundred percent kiss-up way. He said, "Hello Uncle, hello Uncle, I am Xu Ze, Youling's boyfriend."
Shen Youling looked at her father's frightening expression and silently swallowed her saliva. In fact, she didn't understand. Why was Chen Liguo so open-minded when she had fallen in love with Yi Huai, yet now when the person was changed, his attitude had changed so much.
The issue was that these were two very different things in Chen Liguo's mind. Yi Huai was a son-in-law that he knew for a long time and had mentally prepared himself once he entered the world.
Besides, Shen Youling didn't like him anymore…… Chen Liguo's sharp eyes ran over the person who called himself Xu Ze. Xu Ze's scalp almost exploded from being stared at.
"Dad!" Shen Youling said. "How come you're here so coincidentally?"
Chen Liguo said coldly, "Oh, it really is such a coincidence."
Shen Youling gave a few hollow laughs.
Chen Liguo looked at Shen Youling then finally sighed softly. He said, "Forget it, you've grown up. I can't manage you anymore." After saying this, a look of exhaustion appeared between his brows.
Shen Youling's heart hurt upon seeing this but she didn't know how to comfort him. She could only say, "Dad, don't be like this. I will always love you."
Chen Liguo saw that when Shen Youling finished saying this, the progress bar above her head shifted forward. He sadly wiped away a sorrowful tear drop in his heart and said to Yi Huai slowly, "Let's go."
Yi Huai hurriedly followed Chen Liguo away.
The previous matter of Angus being killed finally bore results. It was reported that an enemy of country N was seeking revenge and just happened to find an opportunity at the airport where they directly drowned him in the toilet.
Chen Liguo didn't say a single word when he heard this but only had a bit of mockery on his face.
Yi Huai didn't dare mention anything about that night, afraid that it would affect Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo wasn't as fragile as Yi Huai imagined. Within this line of work, what hadn't he seen? Could it be that he would go and repeatedly attempt suicide because he got done by a man once? Although it was disgusting, being bitten by a dog, didn't really matter too much.
Furthermore, Yi Huai was particularity sensible during this period of time and conscientiously took over most of Chen Liguo's work. He was still somewhat soft and immature when he first started, but after getting advice from Chen Liguo, he quickly got to work. In less than half a year, he was actually able to manage the company in an orderly way.
Yi Huai's performance made Chen Liguo feel very gratified. Once, he had also asked Shen Youling if she wanted to take over the family business. Who would have known that Shen Youling, this girl, would carefreely say, "Isn't it fine to just have Yi ge? I won't cause trouble for Dad."
Chen Liguo found it ridiculous when he heard this and asked, "You just trust your Yi ge that much?"
Shen Youling said with a smile on her face, "I believe in Dad's sight."
Sure enough, this little girl could really speak, making Chen Liguo feel happy again.
Yi Huai taking over a lot of the Shen family's business naturally aroused the discontentment of some people. Regarding these discontent voices, Chen Liguo's attitude had always been very decisive——He directly expelled one of his uncles from the home.
That uncle stood outside the Shen family home and shouted abuses.
Chen Liguo wasn't polite either. He directly pointed his gun at him and shot a hole in his uncle's sleeve.
The uncle almost pissed himself in fear and fled with a pale face.
Yi Huai stood behind Chen Liguo, his heart feeling both sweet and sour as he watched him defend him.
Yi Huai said, "Mister, is this proper?"
Chen Liguo easily threw his gun on the table and said lazily, "What isn't proper?"
Yi Huai said, "In the end, they are of one family with Mister."
Chen Liguo shook his head with a smile and said, "Yi Huai, you are still too young. Things such as blood relationships…… They can't be relied on."
Yi Huai did not speak.
Chen Liguo continued, "When my father died, I was only a teenager. Did these people help me even once? Not helping is nothing much, but they watched me like hyenas, wishing that they could tear a piece of meat from my body. Staying in the Shen family is already me giving them the greatest face."
Only then did Yi Huai understand. His expression became somewhat dazzled, as if he was seeing the young Shen Yucheng who rigidly straightened up his waist to brace those trials and hardships.
The Shen Yucheng at that time must have felt very helpless. If he had been born earlier, he could have helped Mister Shen Yucheng.
However, this was all Yi Huai's delusion. Shen Yucheng wasn't tossed about by the wind and rain. Rather, he spread his branches and leaves, became stronger and stronger, and then became a strong tree that no one could shake.
Yi Huai's secret thoughts simply couldn't see the light. If Shen Yucheng knew what he was thinking and learned of what he had done, perhaps he would take out his gun without the slightest hesitation and shoot him into bits.
Yi Huai's mood was heavy and he thought a bit much. On top of that, the business was particularly busy during this time and so, he unexpectedly fell ill.
Yi Huai was still sitting in his study dealing with matters when Chen Liguo found out. Recently, Yi Huai hadn't been going to school. When Chen Liguo asked him, he had only said that the courses could all be self-studied and it didn't matter if he went or not.
Chen Liguo entered the study and found that Yi Huai's face was very red. Despite this, Yi Huai was still wearing a pair of glasses, staring at the computer screen with knitted brows.
Chen Liguo called, "Xiao Huai."
Yi Huai asked, "Mister?"
Chen Liguo asked, "How come you haven't gone to sleep yet?" It was one in the morning now.
Yi Huai smiled and said, "How come I can't understand this…… Ai, my head feels dizzy, I've been researching for a day now."
Chen Liguo saw that his complexion wasn't right. He reached out to touch his forehead and was shocked by the scalding temperature of Yi Huai's forehead.
Chen Liguo said, "You have a fever."
Yi Huai took off his glasses and said as he kneaded the corners of his eyes, "It shouldn't be, I'm just a little tired."
Chen Liguo showed a look of disapproval and directly brought a thermometer over to let Yi Huai take his temperature.
Five minutes later, Chen Liguo found that the thermometer showed 39 degrees.
Chen Liguo immediately called the family doctor to have him come over.
Yi Huai still looked confused. Because of his fever, his eyes had a layer of glossy water and his expression was not as restrained and dark as it usually was. Instead, it was a bit more childish.
Chen Liguo patted him on the head and told him to rest.
Yi Huai murmured that he was fine.
Chen Liguo said, "Still all fine? Are you going to burn yourself dumb before saying something's the matter?"
Yi Huai sighed and reluctantly turned off the computer.
Chen Liguo found this appearance of his laughable and was in a good mood. He had never known that Yi Huai was so addicted to work.
The doctor came very quickly. He took Yi Huai's temperature and then gave him an injection.
Yi Huai lay on bed, his brows furrowing when he was given the injection. Chen Liguo rarely saw Yi Huai show such vivid expression——Up until now, he remembered that Yi Huai almost never suffered from sickness since he was young and even his most serious one was just a cold.
The doctor examined him for a bit then said to have him eat medicine when his temperature fell. The reason for the fever might have been because his body was too exhausted and his mind was too strained so Yi Huai needed to relax.
From when the doctor came to when the doctor left, Yi Huai's brows never relaxed.
Chen Liguo saw his face of woe and found it funny. "You didn't look after your body well, now you know that it feels bad?"
Yi Huai said, "My body is fine, that doctor is talking nonsense."
Chen Liguo didn't respond. He sat beside Yi Huai for a while then gently said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have pushed you too hard."
Yi Huai, however, said, "I like Mister treating me this way." It was precisely because of the way that Chen Liguo treated him that he knew that Mister valued him.
Chen Liguo felt that he hadn't short changed Yi Huai for anything since he was a child and didn't know why Yi Huai was so insecure.
Chen Liguo had originally thought that Yi Huai's fever would go down after getting his injection. Unexpectedly, not even half an hour after the doctor left, Yi Huai's face began to flush red again. Chen Liguo felt it and discovered that it was actually hotter than earlier.
Chen Liguo didn't call the doctor this time. He carried Yi Huai on his back to go downstairs to the garage to go to the hospital——He had originally wanted to carry him in his arms but as a result, Yi Huai was too heavy and the moment he bent down to hold him, he almost sprained his waist.
So Chen Liguo changed his posture without a word or movement and carried Yi Huai on his back.
Yi Huai pretended that he didn't see Chen Liguo's abnormality and obediently leaned against his back. Only, there was a smile in his eyes which revealed his current mood.
Arrived at the hospital. Hung in the emergency room. Received an intravenous drip.
Chen Liguo thought that if this fever still wouldn't go down, then he would need to have Yi Huai undergo a general physical checkup.
Although having a fever was a minor symptom, it was also a precursor for some serious illnesses.
In the end, Yi Huai's circumstances really weren't optimistic. His fever broke and went down. However, an hour later, Yi Huai's temperature went up again.
Chen Liguo's heart was immediately torn with anxiety.
Yi Huai was unexpectedly still smiling when he saw Chen Liguo being like this. He said, "Mister, I am fine."
Chen Liguo gnashed his teeth. "Go get an examination in a moment. You keep ahold of yourself for me, don't fall asleep."
Yi Huai said okay quietly.
Chen Liguo clenched his hand and said, "Yi Huai, you can't have a problem."
Yi Huai felt Chen Liguo's hand make contact with his and laughed quietly. He said, "Mister, there won't be anything wrong with me."
Not long after he said this, his eyes closed.
Chen Liguo really was frightened half to death by the person before him. He asked the system what the situation was. According to the trajectory of the original world, Yi Huai never suffered from any serious illness.
The system said with misgivings that this wasn't in keeping with the world's logic. According to this logic, Yi Huai's destiny was developing in a good direction and there was no possibility of a serious illness.
Chen Liguo said, "But it's already happened!"
The system said, "Wait I suppose."
The system's golden finger could only be used by Chen Liguo alone, so even if other people were dying of illnesses, Chen Liguo could only watch.
He pushed Yi Huai to get a series of examinations.
The next day, Yi Huai's fever didn't have any indication of going down at all. However, the results showed that his physical condition was excellent——Except for his high fever.
Chen Liguo was angered to the extreme. He said, "Can you explain what 'physical condition is excellent' means?"
The doctor had never encountered such a situation before and was somewhat helpless. He said, "This is our first time seeing such an illness." According to reason, if someone has a fever, even if the cause could not be found, some physical indicators would be abnormal. Merely, this patient was a freak and although they had a fever, the condition of their body was better than an ordinary person's. If they didn't look at the person and just the indicators, the doctor could only conclude that this person was completely healthy.
However, although the results of the examinations showed this, the patient was in a coma.
Moreover, Chen Liguo was a person who wasn't to be trifled with, so the crowd of doctors and nurses all trembled with a bit of fear.
Chen Liguo was so anxious that his heart was about to be set on fire.
After Yi Huai fell into a coma, he couldn't be called awake. His face was still very red and no fever reducing drug was useful.
When Shen Youling heard that Yi Huai had fallen ill, she rushed over to the hospital. Upon seeing Yi Huai who lay in the hospital bed and Chen Liguo who had a worried frown, she asked, "Dad, what happened to Yi ge?"
Chen Liguo said, "Go out and talk."
In the corridor, Shen Youling asked anxiously, "Dad, what illness did Yi ge get?"
Chen Liguo said, "It hasn't been found yet." He hadn't slept for a day now and his forehead was full of irritation and fatigue. "I'm preparing to transfer him."
Shen Youling asked, "Transfer where?"
Chen Liguo said, "City B, if it still can't be found we'll go abroad."
Shen Youling's heart trembled and she knew that this matter might be very serious. She said, "Dad, rest assured, I'll still be here. You can take Yi ge to treat his illness with ease."
Chen Liguo said, "Youling, am I too strict with him?"
Shen Youling hadn't thought that Chen Liguo would come up with such a sentence. From this, she could also see how big of a strike Yi Huai falling ill was to Chen Liguo. So big that he even began to doubt his way of educating Yi Huai.
Shen Youling said, "Dad, no matter if you are strict or not with Yi ge, as long as he is happy, what you do is correct."
Chen Liguo let out a breath.
Shen Youling said, "Dad, you go and have a good rest for a while. I'll go and watch Yi ge."
Chen Liguo had wanted to refuse at first but he thought about how this would be a long battle and how he couldn't stay up forever no matter how he endured, so he nodded his head and agreed to Shen Youling's proposal.
Thus, Chen Liguo drove home and then lay in bed after taking a shower.
However, he was too sleepy and couldn't fall asleep. He smoked as he chatted with the system. He said, "Do you think that if something really happens to Yi Huai, could Shen Youling's completion degree still be completed?"
The system said, "Maybe?"
Chen Liguo discussed with the system and said, "Ai, I think, if this problem is beyond the host's capabilities, how about you and your headquarters talk it over and give Yi Huai a golden finger?"
The system said, "This sort of situation…… Is impossible for the headquarters to pass the application."
Chen Liguo fell silent again.
The system was a bit upset and said, "Don't worry too much, nothing will happen to him."
Chen Liguo faintly said, "After all, I've raised him for so long, he is……"
The system was even more upset.
Then Chen Liguo filled in the rest of the words, "My f*ck buddy ah……"
System: "……" Trash host, explode where you stand.
Chen Liguo was still calculating the topic with the system. He said, "Look ah, I'm already over thirty years old. If I raise another Yi Huai now, by the time he's twenty, I'll already be over fifty. What can I do when I'm over fifty ah? What can I do ah……"
The system said, "You could still go die."
Chen Liguo: "……" Really not friendly at all.
They chatted and chatted, then Chen Liguo fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up again, his first reaction was to check his phone to see if he had any missed calls. After finding out that he had none, he was a little disappointed——this meant that Yi Huai had no changes.
In fact, Chen Liguo's sleep had not lasted for more than three hours. However, after waking up, he wasn't as tired as he was before. He changed his clothes then went to the hospital again.
Shen Youling was playing on her phone next to the hospital bed.
When she saw Chen Liguo come over, she asked, "Dad, have you eaten?"
Only then did Chen Liguo remember that he hadn't eaten yet.
Shen Youling knew that he definitely didn't eat when she saw Chen Liguo's expression. She said, "Go and eat something first. I'll be here." There were still two bodyguards at the door, so there was no fear of the bed needing to be pushed or any other heavy job.
Chen Liguo said lightly, "No appetite."
However, it was now Shen Youling's turn to coax Chen Liguo like one would a child. She said softly, "Dad, hurry and go eat. If Yi ge gets better and you collapse then it wouldn't be good."
When Chen Liguo heard this, he looked at Shen Youling, then smiled faintly. "Youling has grown up."
Shen Youling said, "I had grown up long ago la, it's just that Daddy still takes me for a child."
Chen Liguo didn't continue to argue with Shen Youling either and went out to randomly eat something.
When he came back, it just so happened to be the time that Yi Huai was being pushed away for an examination. This time, the examination was for his head. Shen Youling was a little anxious as she waited outside.
Seeing that Chen Liguo had come back, she forced a smile on her face and said, "So quick?"
"En." Chen Liguo said. "He's gone in?"
Shen Youling nodded.
Chen Liguo gazed at the entrance way of the sick room and after a long time, he softly sighed, "In the end, it's my fault."
Shen Youling hugged Chen Liguo arm strongly then both solemnly and said to him in a serious tone, "Dad, don't say this. If Yi ge heard you say this, he would be sad."
Chen Liguo didn't speak.
"You don't know just how much Yi ge admires you." Shen Youling said jokingly. "Didn't you always sign our examination papers when we were young? Every time the examination paper was done being used, he would earnestly and seriously cut out the words you signed and save them in a small jar."
The more Chen Liguo listened the more sour his heart became.
Shen Youling said, "Thinking back now, I was really stupid…… Almost…… Ai, I actually liked those sorts of scum."
Recalling these memories, Chen Liguo's tightly pursed brows finally relaxed.
Shen Youling really had grown up. Instead of having her father protect her, she instead protected her beloved father. Seeing Chen Liguo's exhausted expression, she helped in the ways that she could and prepared for the worst as well…… If something really did happen to Yi Huai, she needed to stay by her father's side.
Yi Huai was pushed out from inside and Chen Liguo discovered that his head had been shaved bare.
Shen Youling mumbled to herself, "Still so good looking after shaving his head, it really breaks the rules."
Chen Liguo smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Chen Liguo and Shen Youling were the same and towards the unconscious Yi Huai, prepared themselves for the worst.
However, perhaps God bequeathed pity, for when Chen Liguo was preparing to transfer Yi Huai over to city B, Yi Huai unexpectedly woke up.
Not only did he wake up, when he opened his eyes and saw Chen Liguo, he actually called out the word 'daddy'.
Chen Liguo was a little stunned. He hugged him heavily and called out, "Xiao Huai."
Yi Huai grasped Chen Liguo's sleeves strongly and said vaguely, "D-dad, don't, leave me……"
Chen Liguo consoled him quietly, "Good child, I won't go anywhere."
Shen Youling who stood next to him inexplicable ate some vinegar from Yi Huai.
The Author Has Something To Say:
I don't know if you all could still see this chapter. The entire text was reported again. If you don't leave a comment to comfort me, baby's fragile heart will shatter into smithereens. Replacing chapters with tears, I'm just a baby ah. Why must I be targeted like this QAQ
Thanking the following darlings for the mines, grenades, and rocket launchers. Love you all!!!
StormFrost: Arc 3 is now edited. Boy that took a long time……
Misogi: I wonder if that Dad means something here hoho, maybe zombie arc baby??? Would be so cool, maybe CLG will finally get the hint that the person who is papapaing him is always the same huehue
