Chapter 34 Promise
Seeing that he was back, Lu Ruan quickly stood up and interrupted the simmering battle between them.
Since Yan Qiu rescued her in the fire scene last time, Lu Ruan's attitude towards him has changed a lot.
Yan Qiu could feel that she was trying her best to please him, but remembering how she protected and indulged Fu Shuangchi in her previous life, she still couldn't get close to her.
"Xiaoqiu, you're back." Lu Ruan said, forced a smile at him, walked up to him and said, "The meal is ready, go wash your hands and eat."
Yan Qiu shook his head, "I've already eaten."
After speaking, he walked upstairs.
However, before walking a few steps, Fu Chenze stopped him from behind, "Yan Qiu, do you still have any rules?"
Hearing this, Yan Qiu stopped and turned to look at him.
Then I heard Fu Chenze say righteously: "The rules of the Fu family, as long as Dad is at home, everyone has to eat together."
Yan Qiu was originally thinking about the operation, so he didn't bother to argue with him today.
But he insisted on provoking him, it would be impolite not to fight back.
So Yan Qiu made a puzzled expression, and asked back: "Rules? What rules does the Fu family have? Is it arson to kill people? Or brother rape?"
As soon as Yan Qiu finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Seeing this, the housekeeper servant immediately retreated, as if he was afraid that he would be involved in the flames of war.
"Xiaoqiu!" Lu Ruan was surprised, and covered her mouth with her hand, as if she wanted to stop him.
Fu Chenze's face immediately changed, he strode forward, and said gloomyly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Qiu raised his head, without any fear on his face, just looked at him indifferently, "Am I really talking nonsense?"
"You!" Fu Chenze suddenly raised his hand, as if he wanted to hit him.
But as soon as he raised his hand, Lu Ruan ran over and stopped him.
She stood in front of Yan Qiu and looked at Fu Chenze seriously, "Shen Ze, what do you want to do? Is this how you treat yourself as an older brother?"
"Brother?" Yan Qiu smiled when he heard the words, looked directly at Fu Chenze and asked, "Do you deserve these two words?"
"I'm not worthy?" Fu Chenze saw that Lu Ruan suddenly protected him now, and felt the fire in his heart burst out, "Mom, you still protect him until now? Don't you realize that everythingIs it all because of him?"
"Shen Ze!" Lu Ruan shouted.
However, Fu Chenze's eyes were already red with anger, and he said recklessly: "Obviously everything was fine before he came back, and our family is happy and happy. Where are these crap? Everything is because he came to our house.Like this, if it wasn't for him, would Shuangchi have fallen to this point?"
"Shuangchi Shuangchi, you are still protecting him!" Lu Ruan also became angry, "In any case, he was right to set the fire? Did you forget that I almost died in that fire tooOf course, I can't bear to see him sit in prison for so long, but one thing is true, he should indeed be punished, he needs to reflect, and you also need to calm down."
"I know." Lu Ruan's words seemed to hit his heart hard, and Fu Chenze finally calmed down a bit, "...but ten years is really too long."
"What are you afraid of?" Seeing this, Yan Qiu deliberately added to the flames, "Anyway, you have been waiting for him, and when he comes out, you can raise him for the rest of your life. The relationship between you is so deep, even if you can't be together for ten yearsIt's nothing."
"Yan Qiu, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not..."
"I'm talking nonsense?" Yan Qiu interrupted him, walked past Lu Ruan and walked in front of him, "Brother, you should know better than me what kind of feelings you have for Fu Shuangchi."
"Do you really have brotherly affection for him?"
"Do you really only think of him as a younger brother?"
"Can you swear you have a clear conscience?"
Fu Chenze became hoarse during his aggressive questioning, and the arrogance all over his body just now disappeared.
Fu Jianting at the side finally realized something, and asked, "Yan Qiu, what do you mean?"
Lu Ruan's complexion was also pale, and she walked over and asked, "Yeah, what are you talking about?"
Yan Qiu looked at Fu Chenze's clenched fists, sneered, and handed the USB flash drive in his pocket to Lu Ruan.
"It's nothing, it's just a good show."
After speaking, he turned and went upstairs.
Yan Qiu returned to his room, but did not rush to close the door, but leaned against the wall and listened quietly to the movement downstairs.
After a long silence, Lu Ruan suddenly heard a scream.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ruan shouted, "Call 120 quickly".
The housekeeper and servants were busy downstairs, while Yan Qiu slowly closed the door.
He suddenly remembered that on the first day he returned to Fu's house, Fu Shuangchi made the whole family restless in order to disown him.
Perhaps it was already an ominous warning at that time, and the Fu family was destined to continue in chaos.
Yan Qiu didn't know what happened downstairs just now, and he wasn't curious, so he just packed his things silently.
After a while, no one should bother him.
He was really lucky at this time of rebirth, and it was still in the early stage of stomach cancer.
Cancer occurs in the submucosal layer of the stomach wall, and only endoscopic submucosal lesion dissection is required. Compared with resection of the stomach, it can save a lot of pain.①
And you can leave the hospital within a week after the operation, and it won't take too long.
Therefore, Yan Qiu didn't prepare too many things. After packing his luggage, he sat down at the table and took out the set of carving knives that his aunt gave him from the drawer.
At the same time, a piece of elm wood was taken out.
Looking at the elm in his hand, Yan Qiu suddenly remembered the work that was broken by Fu Shuangchi in his previous life.
He finally carved the "hometown".
Now that Fu Shuangchi is still in the detention center, no one will drop his work again.
So Yan Qiu planned to engrave it again.
As soon as he picked up the carving knife, Yan Qiu remembered that he was going to be hospitalized soon, and he might not be able to live broadcast again, so he turned on his phone and started another live broadcast.
But this time his operation fee was enough, so Yan Qiu turned off the tipping function.
Just sitting in front of the camera, engraving my own work quietly.
He sits from day to night, the warm yellow light is on, the window is full of stars, and the works in his hands have begun to take shape.
There was still half of the engraving left, but Yan Qiu didn't engrave any more, but downloaded the podcast and put the half-engraved "hometown" in the drawer.
Let's wait for him to leave the hospital to engrave the rest.
The Fu family was deserted all night, and no one came back until the next day.
Yan Qiu didn't ask what happened, and walked out early in the morning with the things he had packed.
He didn't have many things, just filled a small suitcase.
When he was about to leave, he ran into the housekeeper. Seeing him carrying the suitcase, the housekeeper asked with concern: "Master Qiu, do you want to go out?"
Yan Qiu nodded, and smiled at this kind old man. He still remembered the snowy night when he left Fu's house in his last life. He was the one who gave him an umbrella to protect him from the wind and snow.
"When will you be back?"
"About half a month."
"Okay, be careful all the way."
"Goodbye, Uncle Zhou."
Yan Qiu was about to leave after finishing speaking, but was stopped by the housekeeper, "Master Qiu, master had a heart attack yesterday, why don't you go to the hospital?"
After hearing this, Yan Qiu understood the meaning of Lu Ruan's cry yesterday.
Unexpectedly, that video had such a big impact on Fu Jianting, he was so angry that he had a heart attack.
but……
What does this have to do with him?
Yan Qiu knew that his reminder was well intentioned, but he still shook his head and said indifferently: "Mom and elder brother are here, they will take care of him."
A sigh flashed across the old butler's face, as if he wanted to say something, but Yan Qiu had already taken his words, "Uncle Zhou, I'm leaving first."
"Okay." The butler didn't say anything in the end, but said kindly, "Master Qiu, come back early."
Yan Qiu came to the hospital and completed the hospitalization procedures.
The doctor arranged a double room for him, and there was an elderly man in the same room.
Because his situation is more complicated, it will take another week to prepare for the operation.
Yan Qiu returned to the ward after finishing the examination, and found that it was still early, so he wanted to sneak out for a walk.
Fortunately, the doctor didn't restrict him from going out, so Yan Qiu changed into his normal clothes and walked out of the hospital.
He went to the antique market first, originally with the attitude of giving it a try, but he did not expect to meet an old man who gave him Buddhist beads in Shen Guxuan.
The old man is still in good spirits, he is playing walnuts with Wen with one hand, and he is playing chess with Shen Guxuan's boss with the other hand.
When he saw Yan Qiu, he didn't feel unfamiliar with him as if he hadn't seen him for a long time. He glanced behind him as if he just met yesterday, and asked, "Didn't you sell your things today?"
Yan Qiu shook his head and replied, "I've been busy recently, so I haven't done anything."
The old man didn't say much, he just told him, "Proficiency comes from hard work, and it should not be neglected." Then he gave up.
Yan Qiu nodded and replied, "I know Master."
Because the old man often gave him advice, Yan Qiu insisted on calling him that.
The old man didn't say much, it was a tacit agreement, and the two have been matching each other ever since.
Yan Qiu had never learned Go and couldn't understand it, but he still sat silently by the side and watched the two old men play.
Although he couldn't understand it, Yan Qiu guessed that the two old people should be evenly matched.
Because they played a game of chess for a long time, the black and white pieces were tightly clenched, and it was not until the afternoon that the winner was decided.
The old man was very happy when he won the game, and invited him to the side of the road to have a bowl of wontons.
Yan Qiu was a little absent-minded during the meal.
The old man didn't say anything about him, he just raised his head and asked after he finished eating, "Is there something on your mind?"
Looking at the old man's concerned eyes, Yan Qiu wanted to tell the whole story for a moment, but in the end he shook his head and said nothing.
It's just an operation, there's no need to worry one more person.
The old man seemed to have guessed the result, turned the walnut in his hand, and said slowly: "You child, you are too worried."
Yan Qiu smiled and did not speak.
Probably no matter who has experienced a life like his in two lifetimes, they will not be able to live easily.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Yan Qiu continued to walk aimlessly along the road.
The Spring Festival has passed, and the trees on the side of the road that have withered all winter have also sprouted green shoots, and finally have some color.
Yan Qiu paused for a moment, a dead branch suddenly appeared in his mind.
He suddenly wanted to see the walnut tree.
Anyway, there is still some time before dark, so Yan Qiu followed his memory and came to the courtyard he rented in the previous life.
The alley is still the alley, and the yard is still the same yard.
The vermilion gate, the green vegetable bed, and a bare walnut branch protruding from the gray wall bricks.
Yan Qiu raised his hand to touch it, but he couldn't reach it.
At this time, a voice came from behind him, "Young man, what are you looking at?"
Yan Qiu turned around and saw the old lady who rented his yard in the previous life.
The old lady was carrying a canvas bag with a bulging bag of vegetables inside, and looked at him with a smile.
Not displeased by a stranger standing suspiciously at his door.
Yan Qiu looked at the old man, remembering that in her last life she invited herself to be a guest at home.
Handed myself a golden roasted persimmon.
But later he died in her yard. I don't know if the old man was frightened when he found out.
Every time Yan Qiu thinks of this, he feels somewhat apologetic towards her.
"Your yard is very beautiful." Yan Qiu said sincerely, "Would you like to rent it out?"
When the old man heard the praise, he immediately laughed, and the smile lines piled up in the corners of his eyes, each of which hid the experience and wind and rain of these years.
"I'm sorry, young man, I've lived here all my life, and I don't want to go to other places when I'm old. I don't rent this house."
In fact, this was also within Yan Qiu's expectations. After all, the old man in the last life rented the house to him because he accidentally fell while living alone and was picked up by his children to live with him.
"But if you like it, you can come in and take a look." The old man warmly invited.
"Okay." Yan Qiu nodded and followed the old man into the room.
Like the previous life, the old man made him a cup of hot tea, took a roasted persimmon, and sat down beside him.
Young man, why do you want to rent grandma's house?Don't young people like to live in high-rise buildings?"
For a moment, Yan Qiu was almost in a trance, thinking that he had returned to his previous life.
But soon came back to his senses and pressed the roasted persimmon in his hand.
Looking out the window, he gave the same answer as his previous life, "Because of that walnut tree."
The old man chatted with him for a long time, and wanted him to stay and have dinner together.
But Yan Qiu rejected the old man's kindness, and he had to go back to the hospital.
The old man didn't say anything, but just brought him another roasted persimmon, "When you're old, you talk a lot, so don't be annoying to grandma after you've been talking for so long."
"How could it be?" Yan Qiu immediately replied, "I'm going on a business trip recently, and I'll come to see you when I come back."
"Okay." Grandma immediately responded with a smile and sent him out.
When they were about to part, Yan Qiu said to Grandma: "I accidentally stained a piece of the sofa cushion just now, and I have to trouble you to clean it."
"It's okay." Grandma replied, "I'll go and have a look later, just wash my hands."
When Yan Qiu heard this, she smiled and said, "Goodbye, Grandma."
"Goodbye, slow down on the road."
Yan Qiu turned his head while walking, and found that Granny had been watching behind him.
It wasn't until the crooked place that Grandma was nowhere to be seen.
Yan Qiu remembered reading an article called "Watching Off" before, in which there were many scenes of parents watching their children off.
This was his favorite article. At that time, he was still young, but it was at that time that the first concept of family affection was formed.
So he likes to look back every time he goes out, but there is always nothing behind him.
In fact, some people watched him off a long time ago.
Every time he ran out to play wildly with a group of children, he would always see his aunt standing at the door looking at him when he turned around.
It's just that he was too young at that time to understand the meaning of this small gesture.
By the time he understood it was too late, and no one would be watching him from behind.
Since then, he can only go his own way.
Yan Qiu didn't know why he was so sentimental today, so he could only think of something else to divert his attention.
He just put some money under the sofa when grandma was not paying attention.
Not much, just some of his thoughts.
His sudden departure in the last life probably scared the old man.
I don't know if she will dislike the bad luck of that yard later.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a small cat meowing.
Yan Qiu looked around, and saw a raccoon cat squatting not far away.
Yan Qiu recognized it almost the moment he saw it.
This is the raccoon cat he met in the alley in the previous life.
It was still the same as the previous life, but the time they met was almost a year earlier, and it was only a little bit older.
The kitten was starving and skinny, squatting in the corner alone, looking at him quietly with round eyes, and uttered a friendly bark at him.
Yan Qiu froze for a moment, then walked over to it.
He squatted down in front of the cat, tentatively reaching out his hand to touch it.
The cat obediently placed its head in his palm, wondering if it recognized him.
"You..." Yan Qiu stroked its soft fur, and couldn't help but said, "Why do you always look so pitiful?"
Naturally, the cat wouldn't answer, but just pressed its head against its palm, as if acting like a baby.
"It always appears at such an inopportune time."
"I'm going to have an operation soon, and I can't take you home now."
"Why don't you wait for me."
"I'll pick you up when I get out of the hospital."
The cat didn't know if he understood, so he stuck out his tongue and licked him.
"Don't worry." Yan Qiu felt that he was really a little too lonely, and even talked to a cat.
"The doctor said it was still in the early stage, only endoscopic surgery was needed, and it would not hurt very much."
"Well, I'm actually a little scared too."
"But it's okay, only a little, so don't worry about me."
After speaking, Yan Qiu felt that he really seemed to be getting better.
In fact, he is quite afraid of pain.
He still has a large red scar on his left arm.
It was accidentally scalded by boiling water when he was cooking at the age of seven. He was too young at that time to hold such a heavy pot.
Since then he has been afraid of pain.
But the premise of being afraid of pain is that someone is hurting, so he can only force himself to be strong, force himself not to be afraid.
Sometimes a person's mind is really powerful, so powerful that he thinks he is already invincible, but in fact, people can't overcome their biological instincts at all.
During the examination today, he squeezed his palms hard to restrain himself from trembling.
When getting off the examination machine, the doctor kindly supported him, who was a little weak in legs, and asked, "Where's your family?"
Yan Qiu thought for a long time, then smiled apologetically at him, "I'm sorry, I don't have any family anymore."
Yan Qiu couldn't bring the raccoon cat home for the time being, so he bought a pack of cat food and put it in the corner where it often sleeps, letting it wait for him.
If the promise in the previous life was not fulfilled, let’s make up for it in this life.
Although Yan Qiu somewhat avoided the hospital, after wandering outside for a day, he still had to go back.
The door of the hospital was closed, and he could only enter from the emergency room.
There were not many people in the hospital at night, and the hall seemed deserted.
Yan Qiu walked through the lobby to the inpatient department and got on the elevator.
The elevator door was about to close when a hand suddenly appeared and blocked the elevator door.
"Hey, it's dangerous." Yan Qiu said, and hurriedly pressed the door button.
"Thank you." The elevator door opened, and the man stepped in.
"You're welcome." After Yan Qiu finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he raised his head and looked at the man.
The world is really narrow for enemies.
What he didn't expect was that it was Qin Mu who came in.
