The autumn sun was not glaring. The warm yellow light shone into the ward and dyed the room with a warm color.
A child's body was very sensitive. When Wei Zhe woke up, Wei Jing was probably afraid of squeezing his wound, so he curled up pitifully at the side of the bed. Only his white and tender fingers were still stubbornly holding onto Wei Zhe's hand. Seeing this, Wei Zhe's eyes warmed slightly, and even his complexion improved a little.
The caregivers were assigned to accompany the bed. The bed was originally indoors, but after Wei Zhe woke up, he asked someone to move it to the next room. He really couldn't stand anyone other than Wei Jing sticking to him 24/7.
At this time, the day shift caregiver had already arrived. Through the transparent partition in the ward, she saw that Wei Zhe had woken up. She brought in the five-grain porridge sent by the Wei family. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Wei Zhe make a 'shh' gesture at her.
The caregiver followed the young man's gaze and saw that Wei Jing was sound asleep. She nodded in understanding and left.
The porridge was in an insulated container, so it didn't matter if he ate it later.
It was late in the morning when Wei Jing woke up in a daze from his sleep. He yawned loudly. His hair was messy, his clothes were wrinkled, and his long eyelashes fluttered. There was a layer of mist in his watery eyes, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
Wei Zhe couldn't help but use his free hand to ruffle the child's hair even more. "Go wash your face and eat. Look at you. It's as if I bullied you."
The half-asleep Wei Xiaojing suddenly blushed. He flung his hand away and ran in his slippers to the bathroom. Looking at his stupid appearance in the mirror, there seemed to be some unknown object in the corner of his eyes. The sadness in his heart was about to overflow.
I let you sleep for so long, and now you've embarrassed yourself again!
Wei Jing brushed his teeth and washed his face gloomily. The porridge in the thermos box was still warm. Now that Wei Zhe opened the lid, the rich but not stimulating aroma burst out and made his stomach growl. When Wei Jing came out of the bathroom, Wei Zhe had already scooped a bowl of porridge for him and put it aside.
"Big Brother, you're not eating?" Wei Jing hurriedly stuffed a mouthful into his mouth to soothe his stomach, which had been growling since early in the morning.
"You eat first. I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth yet." Wei Zhe said as he looked at the child meaningfully. "It's all because of someone who keeps holding my hand and won't let go. Because of that, I can't get out of bed."
The temperature on Wei Jing's face, which had already cooled down, rose again because of this sentence. He held the porridge and whispered, "Next time, you can take my hand away."
"Oh!" The young man replied calmly. After a few seconds, the young man added, "So there's a next time!"
Wei Jing: … QAQ
What should he say?
The child looked at him pitifully, which made his palms itch. Wei Zhe couldn't help but rub the soft hair that felt good to the touch. Then he walked to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.
The Wei family brought a large portion of porridge. Wei Jing felt full after eating a big bowl. He couldn't eat anymore. The rest of the porridge went into Wei Zhe's stomach. He was already at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and his body was much weaker after the car accident. He needed a lot of nourishment.
Wei Jing looked at the white bandages that were faintly visible under the young man's white and blue striped hospital gown and felt very sad.
If he hadn't come, then Big Brother wouldn't have met with this accident. When he heard that Big Brother might become a vegetable and mentally retarded, he almost broke down. But what would happen to Big Brother in the future? How could he live without anyone to take care of him? He gritted his teeth and endured it.
And the situation now … was really too good.
Big Brother had become an even more outstanding big brother.
And he, this' burden ', didn't exist anymore.
"Big Brother, if only I could be with Big Brother forever." Wei Jing's nose turned sour as they were about to part. His white and tender fingers hooked around the young man's thin palm and he forced himself to hold back his tears. He couldn't cry. Wasn't it obvious that he was asking Big Brother for help?
"Why can't we be together forever?" Wei Zhe grabbed the young man's soft and boneless hand.
"Because we will all grow up ~" Wei Jing thought that it would be great if they were both children forever. That way, no one would think that it was a problem for them to stick together all day long as brothers.
"We'll talk about it when we grow up." Wei Zhe didn't want to discuss such a sensitive issue with the young man. He wanted to leave when he grew up, haha! Did he ask for his opinion? The young man glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Don't you need to go to school? Go home and change your clothes. Rest for a while and go to school in the afternoon. You can't keep skipping classes. "
"Okay." Wei Jing was smiling. His smile was a little sad. "Then I'll be leaving, Big Brother."
Wei Zhe nodded. After the young man left, his mind was filled with that smile. Why did he smile like that? Is there something unpleasant going on? His hand touched the bandage on his abdomen. This time, he would have to stay in the hospital for at least a week at the earliest.
The young man frowned. It shouldn't be a problem. A week would pass very quickly.
Lunch was sent over by the Wei family's servants as usual. Wei Zhe ate absent-mindedly and took out his phone to check the time. It was Tuesday, October 17th, 2002. So Wei Jing had skipped class yesterday? He raised his eyebrows. Was he afraid of being punished by the teachers at school? That was why he was sad.
As he thought of this, his mood lightened up.
He had just been reborn yesterday and had to face a completely different situation. There was also the young Wei Jing. No matter how calm he appeared, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After a night's sleep, his mood had calmed down. Only then did he have the time to think about his current situation.
Looking at Wei He's behavior yesterday and Wei Jing's words last night about getting back what he had lost, it seemed that this car accident wasn't an accident. It was man-made. Wei He had left in a hurry yesterday. He must have seen that he was fine and went to deal with the aftermath.
This man was just like that. He wouldn't act unless he was certain.
If he didn't make sure that he was fine, he wouldn't bother with the aftermath.
But … what exactly went wrong that caused this car accident? Wei Zhe was deep in thought. He had to wait until he was discharged from the hospital and found out who the culprit was before he could investigate.
Wei Zhe couldn't help but smile as he played with the small cube-shaped phone in his hand. Was this really … the golden age of the Internet?
At the same time, Wei Jing had brought the caregiver and the agent to sign a rental contract. A piece of white paper, a yellow key, a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. This small piece of land would be his in the future.
A huge rock in Wei Jing's heart was finally lifted. His terrible mood was slightly better because of this.
He handed a red packet with a hundred yuan to the caregiver. The child smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I've troubled you so much. Take this and buy some water to drink."
It wasn't a large amount, but in this day and age, it was quite a lot.
For Wei Jing, it was just right. If he took too much and someone had bad intentions after seeing the money, he would be in trouble. If he took too little, it would seem insincere.
The caregiver was a warm-hearted person. She pitied a child who had been kicked out of his home. How could she accept his money? She hurriedly rejected it.
Wei Jing forcefully stuffed the red packet into the caregiver's hands and said, "Don't reject it. If it weren't for your help, I really wouldn't know what to do. Take it. Otherwise, I won't have the face to look for you when we sign the rental contract in the future. "
The caregiver agreed. She took the money and repeatedly reminded the child to look for her when he signed the contract. She didn't want him to be cheated by others.
Wei Jing nodded as he listened.
The caregiver had worked the night shift yesterday and had accompanied Wei Jing for the whole morning. She was exhausted. She said a few words to the child, yawned, and left.
Wei Jing's rented apartment was exquisitely renovated. There was a well-equipped bed, a desk, an air conditioner, and a refrigerator. These two things weren't cheap in this day and age. Wei Jing was very satisfied. He went to the supermarket outside the neighborhood to buy some daily necessities. It took a lot of effort for him to bring them home.
It was already noon by the time he finished all this work.
When the doorbell rang, Wei Jing was struggling with the bed in his house. He was trying to arrange the bedsheets and blankets.
"Coming," he shouted as he opened the door. "Is there any other problem?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jing was stunned. It wasn't the property manager he had imagined. The person who came was a man he was very familiar with, but also unfamiliar. It was his father, Wei He.
Wei He was wearing a high-end custom-made suit. From his hairstyle to his accessories, everything about him exuded a domineering aura. It didn't match at all when he stood next to the elevator in the neighborhood. Wei Jing instinctively shrank behind the door and asked, "… What's the matter?"
"It's nothing serious." Wei He looked indifferent. "From today onwards, you don't have to go to the hospital."
"Why?" Wei Jing clenched his fists. His eyes were burning.
"It's such a simple thing. Don't you understand?" He sighed and said, "I don't want Wei Zhe to come into contact with you anymore. As long as you don't go to the hospital, I will find a way to get you out of the household register. Didn't you say you didn't want to go there?"
He was talking about Wei Jing's mother's relatives.
Wei Jing's fingers were on the anti-theft door. He lowered his eyes and bit his lip. "Anyway, I can only see Big Brother for a short period of time. Even so, can't I?"
"No."
Just the fact that the two of them had been together for the entire day yesterday had left Wei He in a daze. He really couldn't imagine that his son, who had always been high and mighty and arrogant, would actually treat Wei Jing so well.
How could this be? Wei Zhe could be on good terms with anyone except Wei Jing.
