Chapter 87

Hospital.

In the small kitchen attached to the independent ward, Lu Rendong was cooking. He lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the water that was about to boil.

The beautiful and slender Asian boy standing quietly like this is a beautiful picture.

The boiled water tumbled, and Lu Rendong put away his thoughts and put the noodles and vegetables in one by one. The condiment only used salt, and the patient needs to eat lightly, and the noodles are also very thin.

Two bowls of noodles were simply served on the table, and everyone had a poached egg in the bowl. Although the cooking was not that good, it was not bad for a sophomore in high school.

Elena was still in the hospital bed. After several days of treatment, she was able to get up on her own. Lu Rendong sat at the end of the bed, and the mother and son ate quietly, occasionally saying a word or two, and asking about Lu Rendong's study. .

After eating, Lu Rendong went to wash the dishes, Elena was not in good spirits, she lay down slowly and closed her eyes.

Lu Rendong in the kitchen has very light hands and feet, and his mother needs to rest, so he is used to such light hands and feet.

This Saturday, have to go out later. This time the child is not very naughty. He will listen carefully to his lectures, which is easier than the previous one.

Even if Chu Xiao now arranges Elena and Lu Rendong to live here, they don't have to pay for anything. Even the ingredients they eat are bought and put in the refrigerator. Every day, there will be robots to clean the room, inside and out. The outside is clean, even if it is just a ward, it is much better than the place where Lu Rendong and Elena rented.

However, he is still working part-time, substituting for children who are not well-educated.

There is really no need to worry about medical expenses and treatment expenses, but this incident happened so suddenly, an uncle suddenly appeared, brought them to the hospital, and solved the problem that he had no way to do before.

I always feel uneasy in my heart, because everything is developing too beautifully, my mother's illness will be cured, and he doesn't have to do part-time jobs to maintain medical expenses and living expenses like before, so Lu Rendong can't really accept these.

But he could only accept it, because after Elena's disease was diagnosed, the doctor said that, fortunately, it was delivered in time, and as long as it was properly treated, it would not continue to deteriorate.

From the bottom of his heart, Lu Rendong is grateful to Chu Xiao. If it weren't for him, perhaps his mother's illness...

However, compared to Chu Xiao, he actually had a more favorable impression of Shen Ruo, even if he had only seen that side, the voice of the demihuman who would hold him was warm and smooth, and it was very pleasant to listen to.

Chu Xiao looked very difficult to approach, he knew at a glance that the other party had a bad temper, not to mention the "Chu Xiao" who had heard of his reputation.

In fact, Lu Rendong worked a few odd jobs in District E, doing odd jobs. He soon left there, and he never went there again. There are gangsters in the alley where he lives, but it's good for him, no. will bully him.

Especially the leader Huang Mao, although he always fights, but his heart is actually very good. He has seen that Huang Mao pretending to be very fierce and throwing a bag of food into a gray-haired old man's house, and his attitude is very bad. And run away after throwing it, very impatient to thank the old man.

Living in the alley, it is inevitable to deal with these people, and the mother is not in good health. Lu Rendong tried to get in touch with these people, and found that they were just a group of young people who didn't like to study.

He wants to go to school. If his mother's old illness recurs, he is afraid that he will not be able to come back in time, so he deliberately tries to please them. The first time he heard the name of Chu Xiao, he actually heard it from a gangster who often hangs out in District E. .

As far as the area they are staying in, the E area is undoubtedly the rich area in the commercial area, so the people who can go there to mingle have a relatively high status among the gangsters. Generally, the gossip and gossip about the aristocratic and rich people are more or less. Some will be sent back.

And Chu Xiao's name is in it. He heard about it last year, and also heard about Chu Xiao's deeds the year before, so he had a general impression.

In Lu Rendong's impression, there is basically no shortage of Chu Xiao in fighting and fighting, and he fights very hard, and I heard that he often changes girlfriends and boyfriends, which is very troublesome, but no one has ever revealed his photo.

When Lu Rendong reacted, the person who saved him was the Chu Xiao who had heard of it several times. He even confirmed the identity of the other party with the mother on the hospital bed. It's not clear, he just listened to what others said outside, there was no rumors everywhere.

Of course, the reason why I am more willing to approach Shen Ruo is because when in the bar, Shen Ruo is easier to get along with than Chu Xiao, and they are both subhumans. When approaching Shen Ruo, it gives him a very comfortable feeling. Originally, he wanted to approach him just because he was uneasy, and tried to tell others in the chaotic environment like the bar that he did not come alone, but to his surprise, Shen Ruo took his hand, and after going back with him, Without disgust, I drank the water from the cup.

The self-esteem of young people is very obvious in front of people who have a good impression. The cup is washed clean, but in the end they still worry.

Soon, Lu Rendong packed up the kitchen and came out. Seeing that the mother on the hospital bed was already asleep, the footsteps were even quieter. He picked up the schoolbag he had prepared a long time ago and put it on his back, but before he could go out, he heard the light A soft knock on the door.

After opening the door, he found that it was Chu Xiao, Lu Rendong looked up at him, and politely called him softly, "Uncle."

But when he spoke, his eyes fell on Shen Ruo who was standing behind Chu Xiao, and the smile on his face became more obvious, Lu Rendong said, "Brother."

He moved aside as he spoke, but these two completely different names made Chu Xiao frown, and Shen Ruo was stunned.

Lu Rendong took the fruit that Chu Xiao was carrying, and after putting it down, he wanted to pour water.

Chu Xiao stopped him, lowered his voice and said, "No need, just come and see how things are going, and leave after a few words."

Seeing that they didn't sit down, Lu Rendong had to give up. He was still carrying his schoolbag, and he didn't know whether to put it down or not.

"Are you doing a part-time job?"

Shen Ruo's voice was small, with a slight smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with the light of broken stars.

Lu Rendong looked up at him, looked away from those extremely beautiful eyes, just nodded and said yes.

"Then, let's go out together and see you there by the way?" Shen Ruo suggested.

Elena is already asleep, they don't want to disturb the patient, Chu Xiao also said hello to the hospital and asked to take good care of her, so even if they leave, someone will take care of Elena later, don't worry too much .

Seeing that the two of them really didn't want to sit here and their mother fell asleep, Lu Rendong could only nod, and the three of them went out together.

Chu Xiao opened the aircraft, and this Saturday, after lunch, he and Shen Ruo came over to see Elena, and bought some fruit by the way.

After asking Lu Rendong's destination, Chu Xiao put on sunglasses, covering most of his handsome face, his delicate profile was tense, looking cold and hard, he seemed a little angry, he didn't say anything, but he could lift off The atmosphere in the aircraft was not very good.

"Will it affect your studies if you work part-time?"

Shen Ruo ignored him and knew why Chu Xiao was unhappy, because he sat in the back with Lu Rendong, and before coming here, Chu Xiao told him to keep him away from Lu Rendong.

During the time they spent together, Shen Ruo knew that Chu Xiao's behavior was jealous, but Lu Rendong was still his own junior, so he wouldn't be so jealous, like a child.

I thought so in my heart, but Shen Ruo didn't say it.

"No, it's just taking up non-classroom time."

Lu Rendong smiled a little shyly, he was beautiful, and he looked even better when he smiled, which made Shen Ruo, who was looking at him, smile a little bigger.

After hesitating, Lu Rendong lowered his voice and looked away. He seemed a little embarrassed. He said, "My homework will be done before school."

That cautious tone seemed to want to say that he was very good, so he didn't need to worry so much, there was also a kind of careful pride in it, and the subtext of asking for praise was a bit obvious.

So Shen Ruo subconsciously praised him after listening: "It's amazing."

After the young demi-human was praised, his cheeks flushed slightly, he glanced at Shen Ruo, his back straightened a little while sitting there, and there was an unstoppable smile on his pretty face.

Seeing him so happy, Shen Ruo also smiled, thinking that he is really a child.

In fact, he was only three years older than Lu Rendong, but because he took care of Shen Yi and Shen Hong, he subconsciously regarded the skinny Lu Rendong as a child.

"What are you doing part-time this time?"

Shen Ruo, who pretended to know nothing, asked, her voice was very gentle, and she used a tone of voice.

This made Chu Xiao in front of him even more unhappy. He heard Shen Ruo praise others just now, ask questions, and use such a soft voice.

The aircraft suddenly rushed forward, and the speed was frightening. Shen Ruo, who was not mentally prepared, was taken aback. Fortunately, there was a seat belt, otherwise it would be miserable.

From the back, only Chu Xiao's face can be seen, and it is blocked by sunglasses. Shen Ruo is helpless, but because Lu Rendong is here, it is difficult to ask him.

"Tutoring, teaching the third grade pupils."

Lu Rendong was also frightened just now, and answered Shen Ruo's question after finding that there was no danger.

Shen Ruo nodded and only said that this part-time job was good. In fact, he knew early on that Lu Rendong was doing this part-time job, and a month later, he would meet the protagonist Gong on the way back from the part-time job. That was their first encounter.

I came to see Elena today for one reason, and the other is to determine whether Lu Rendong is doing this part-time job, and to ensure that he can keep doing it so that he can meet the protagonist Gong. This is a very important node in the plot. .

Lu Rendong's part-time job soon arrived, of course, thanks to Chu Xiao, who drove the aircraft very fast.

"Goodbye uncle, goodbye brother."

The polite and well-behaved Lu Rendong got off the aircraft and said goodbye to Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao, but his name made Chu Xiao unhappy again, so he took off his sunglasses.

"It's not my brother, it's my uncle. He is my righteous prince, and I'll be called my uncle in the future."

Chu Xiao said, but when Shen Ruo pulled his sleeve, his tone slowed down a lot, at least it wasn't cold.

Lu Rendong, who was about to turn around, was stagnant and became cramped. Shen Ruo quickly smoothed the field and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just a title, don't be afraid, he just looks cold and not angry."

"Isn't it?" Shen Ruo said this to Chu Xiao, and he looked up as he spoke.

Chu Xiao, who was full of grievances, could only smile at Lu Rendong in those obviously soft eyes, indicating that he was not angry like what Shen Ruo said.

"Just remember to call your uncle, someone will pick you up and take you back to the hospital after the class is over." Chu Xiao's voice finally softened a lot, which made the cramped Lu Rendong feel relieved.

"Goodbye, Uncle Shen Ruo."

Shen Ruo's words were very awkward to hear, and no brother really listened to them, but he could only wave to Lu Rendong to signal goodbye.

After Lu Rendong entered the community, she disappeared. Shen Ruo subconsciously looked at Chu Xiao, but met the unhappy man.

Just now, she forced Chu Xiao to say that she was not angry, and Shen Ruo was a little guilty, but Lu Rendong was still a child, and Chu Xiao was too angry with him to be someone's uncle.

"I said don't come too close, you want me to clean up you again."

The deep voice was full of threats. Whether it was the first time he saw Lu Rendong or after experiencing the system, Chu Xiao subconsciously did not want Shen Ruo to approach Lu Rendong, even if the other party was his relative.

However, Shen Ruo was not as afraid of him as before. She raised her face and smiled, her eyes were soft, and she reached out to pull Chu Xiao's sleeve, obviously trying to please him.

The cold face didn't last long, Chu Xiao held Shen Ruo's hand with his backhand, squeezed his palm, and said in a low voice, "I'll take care of you when I go back."

The threat just now was nothing, this whisper close to self-talk made Shen Ruo immediately feel a sense of crisis, but he could only follow Chu Xiao into the aircraft and go back.
