Chapter 146: Your Brother Found a Taciturn Gourd!#
“Mom, let me take you there.” Early in the morning, Lu Min took her coat and waited at the door, eagerly waiting for Xi An.
“No need, you go to work. I’ll ask your Uncle Luo to take me.” Xi An shook her head and reached out to adjust Lu Min’s scarf. “I checked with the doctor yesterday. Siyuan’s condition was an acute attack. As long as he recovers, he’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much.”
Lu Min bit her lower lip, “Mom… I want to go see my brother…”
Xi An rubbed her head, “Siyuan doesn’t blame you.”
“I know…” Lu Min’s voice was choked with sobs, “I know, but I feel very sad and guilty. I lived carefree for so many years, and even stupidly blamed my brother for that woman… Mom, I…”
Xi An looked at her daughter who turned into a tearful person as soon as she spoke, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart, “Xiao Min, this matter is in the past, let’s not mention it. The more you talk about it, the more uncomfortable Siyuan will feel.”
“I know, I know, I know my brother will feel uncomfortable hearing it, but I really…” How could she let it go in her heart?
She really didn’t know at the time that her brother would be hurt so deeply by a single sentence. It was too late to regret after saying it.
Hearing the truth of that year, she knew how badly her brother was hurt.
But until yesterday, she didn’t know that the hurt back then was not only mental but also physical. Yet for so many years, they never knew—
“Try to let go of the past. No matter how much it hurts, it’s already in the past. I think if Siyuan could let go, he would have let go long ago. He hid it from you alone, just because he didn’t want the pain in your hearts to be so heavy. Now that it’s out, he doesn’t want you to carry these burdens either. Xiao Min, no matter what it is, learn to let go.”
“Mom, what right do I have to let go? Brother is in so much pain, can I still smile and tell him that the past is in the past, and we should all let go?” Lu Min smiled miserably. What right did she have to enlighten her brother to let go?
Xi An smiled, “Silly girl, someone will make Siyuan learn to let go of the pain.”
Lu Min was stunned and puzzled.
“That person, how could he bear to see him so sad.” Xi An smiled slightly.
That man who makes people feel at ease will guard this scarred child well, right?
Although they are both men, saying guarding and relying on seems to belittle her son, but she just has an intuition that this man is the shoulder her son can rely on, and he can give her son things they can’t give.
Lu Min wiped the tears from her face, “Mom, you mean Wei Dong…”
“Xiao Min, haven’t you ever been curious why Siyuan would find a same-sex lover?”
Lu Min was stunned, then understood her mother’s meaning.
Xi An and Lu Min went to the hospital, only to find the ward empty.
“Where is he?”
“I’ll go ask.” Lu Min turned around and went out, grabbing a nurse making rounds in the corridor, “Excuse me, where did the patient in Ward 109 go?”
“The patient in 109 left last night.”
“Left?”
The nurse nodded, “Yes, last night, it was already early morning. His companion took him away. The doctor was still saying to observe him, but unexpectedly he was discharged in a hurry.”
Lu Min said, “Thank you, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Xi An turned and came out from inside, “Where did Siyuan go?”
Lu Min turned and supported Xi An’s arm, “They said brother was taken away by Wei Dong in the early morning last night and was discharged.”
Hearing this, Xi An’s face darkened immediately, “Nonsense! This child, I told him to stay in the hospital for two more days for observation. How could he be discharged overnight?”
Lu Min patted Xi An’s hand and comforted, “Mom, don’t worry. It must be that brother woke up and wanted to be discharged himself. He has never liked hospitals.”
Xi An frowned and took out her phone to call Lu Siyuan.
Wei Dong woke up on the first ring of the phone on the bedside table. He looked down at the person curled up in his arms, reached out to touch the phone, saw the caller ID, and answered it directly.
“Siyuan.”
Wei Dong spoke, “Auntie, this is Wei Dong.”
Hearing the still somewhat unfamiliar voice on the other end of the phone, Xi An was stunned for a moment before reacting. What was going on with another person’s voice appearing on her son’s phone early in the morning?
“Wei Dong, is Siyuan at the apartment?”
“He is at my place. Is there anything, Auntie?” Wei Dong always spoke directly. His attitude towards Xi An was already considered quite good.
If those women in the Wei family saw this kid answering the phone with such a good attitude, the first thing they would probably do is stick their heads out the window to see which side the sun rose from.
Xi An was choked for a moment. This kid abducted her son, shouldn’t his tone be more tactful?
“Well, is Siyuan there? Can you let him answer the phone?”
Wei Dong looked at the person who rubbed slightly in his arms, “He only went to sleep in the early morning and hasn’t woken up yet.”
Xi An paused. Sure enough, if it were a daughter-in-law, would it be less awkward for her to say anything? This is a tough man, the situation is completely different. Moreover, it’s early in the morning…
“Then let him sleep. When he wakes up, ask him to call me back.”
“Okay.” Wei Dong was completely unceremonious. His wife’s health came first, everything else stood aside.
“By the way, Wei Dong, please take more care of Siyuan’s health. If there is any situation with him, call me directly. I am a doctor.”
“Okay.”
“Regarding diet, please also pay more attention. Whenever his health is not good, his appetite is particularly poor.”
“Okay.”
Xi An’s eye twitched, “Then goodbye.”
“Okay.”
Xi An held the phone, supporting her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
“Mom, what did he say?!” Lu Min looked at Xi An’s appearance, confused.
Xi An looked at Lu Min and sighed slightly, “Xiao Min, your brother found a taciturn gourd.”
Lu Min: “…”
Northern men are tough, bold, generous, and loyal. It seems to be a fact that they are not good with words, right?
The mother and daughter didn’t know that the so-called ’taciturn gourd’, if he didn’t open his mouth, it was fine, but once he did, probably even those full of rhetoric would have to lie down, and even Mayor Lu, who was engaged in politics, would have to bow down.
Wei Dong answered the phone, went back to sleep for two hours, and woke up again. He was awakened by Lu Siyuan scratching the wound on his lower abdomen.
Probably because the wound was growing new flesh, the area around the wound was itchy. Sleeping in a daze, Lu Siyuan kept scratching with his hand. Wei Dong was afraid he would scratch the wound open, so he quickly stopped his hand, replaced it with his own, and used the pads of his fingers to rub around the wound for him.
Wei Dong’s fingerprints were rough, rubbing just right, neither too light nor too heavy.
After rubbing for a while, Wei Dong lifted the quilt to take a look. The area around the wound was still rubbed red.
Wei Dong frowned. It seemed this wound would be itchy for a while. It wasn’t a solution to keep scratching like this.
He turned over to find the phone and called Zhang Xiaomo.
Zhang Xiaomo was busy with smoke coming out of her head. Suddenly receiving a call from the boss, her eyes turned green instantly.
She grabbed the phone excitedly, “Hello! Boss!”
“Is there any special medicine that can relieve itching during wound recovery?” Wei Dong went straight to the point.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo’s little heart instantly turned cold. She thought the big boss was ready to cancel his leave and go to work. Sure enough, she shouldn’t have too high hopes for this boss who was slacking off.
“Uh, there should be.”
“Go find it for me.”
Zhang Xiaomo opened her mouth. Did this big boss think she wasn’t busy enough all day?! Finding such work for her to do?
“What? Is there a problem?”
But hearing the boss’s questioning words, Zhang Xiaomo was instantly full of fighting spirit, “I’ll go find it for you right away, and notify you as soon as I find it!”
“Mn.”
Zhang Xiaomo held the beeping phone and wilted instantly.
What is this all about? It’s fine if the boss doesn’t come to work, but why look for her for private matters? Does she look like someone who takes care of both public and private affairs? Did this big boss pay for it?
No matter how indignant, the poor wretch who takes someone’s salary still has to obediently go find medicine for the boss…
Wait! Wait, wait… The boss, that thick-skinned, tough guy with first-class endurance, when would he use some damn anti-itch medicine during wound recovery?
Could it be—
Is it for the boss’s wife?
Zhang Xiaomo blinked, threw the phone, threw the folder in her hand, and rushed out. Go find medicine!
