Chapter 174 Childhood Friends (29)
Zhou Ying tapped Chen Ye's head, "Are you happy now? Eat well. Look at you. You have lost so much weight in the past two days."
"I will."
Chen Ye felt relieved from the pressure he had felt for the past few days. He said to Zhou Ying, "Thank you, Mom."
Zhou Ying turned her back and wiped away her tears, "Mom just wants you to be happy."
Seeing that Chen Ye was upset because of Duan Xu, Zhou Ying felt bad too.
After Zhou Ying and Li Lijun went back, Chen also received a message from Duan Xu, "Auntie has sent me a message, I will comply."
Chen also messaged him back, "Me too. Since we broke up and don't live together anymore, we're still friends, so we can still chat every day."
"Ah."
"I'll bring you lunch boxes at noon and in the evening. You can take them back to the dormitory and eat them. Just think of it as taking care of a friend."
Chen Ye’s smile was reflected on the screen, “Okay.”
Not long after, Sun Xiaoxiao learned that Chen Ye had moved out of Duan Xu's apartment. He asked Chen Ye out for dinner and asked him anxiously whether he had had a fight with Duan Xu.
Chen Ye took a sip of his drink and said slowly, "Duan Xu and I broke up."
"separate?"
Sun Xiaoxiao frowned, looking confused, and then widened his eyes, "What, you broke up with Duan Xu!"
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the diners around him.
"Keep your voice down."
Sun Xiaoxiao was puzzled. "No, when did you two get together? The breakup you mentioned is not what I understand, right? Damn, this is a bit magical."
"It's what you understand. We had just confirmed our relationship not long ago, but our families found out and we broke up."
"What, found out at home!"
His exclamation made the three-year-old girl at the next table say, "Big brother, we are outside, please stop making noise."
Sun Xiaoxiao turned around and apologized to the little girl, "Sorry, sorry."
He turned around and said to Chen Ye, "You've kept me silent. Aren't Aunt Zhou and Uncle Li going to beat you up? So what are your plans now?"
"Hold on until graduation and when my family will let me go."
Sun Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that Aunt Zhou and Uncle Li are quite open-minded. If it were me, my legs would have been broken into two pieces."
He waved at Chen Ye and said, "I want to tell you something. Don't tell anyone."
Chen Ye, "You say."
Sun Xiaoxiao swallowed nervously and poked his head in, "That's right, Cui Mingzhe confessed his love to me during the winter vacation, and I rejected him. He has ignored me ever since."
Chen was not surprised that Cui Mingzhe liked Sun Xiaoxiao. He had noticed something when they went out together before.
"Do you like him?"
"Don't you like it?" Sun Xiaoxiao touched his head.
"Right? What does right mean? You're not even sure."
"I don't know. He just ignored me these past two days and I missed him a lot. But why did he ignore me? Even if the deal doesn't work out, there is still friendship."
Chen also smiled and said, "Do you think love is like buying vegetables at the market?"
Sun Xiaoxiao took a sip of beer. There was another reason why he didn't agree. When he was in high school, Cui Mingzhe liked Chen Ye, but Chen didn't like him either. Sun Xiaoxiao knew about this and comforted Cui Mingzhe for a long time.
Later, the two of them became close friends, so why did the close friend confess to him?
"Think about it carefully. If you really don't like me, then forget it. You two can't be brothers anymore."
Sun Xiaoxiao waved his hand, "Let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you and Duan Xu. What's your current situation?"
"No problem, we just don't live together, everything else is similar."
Sun Xiaoxiao nodded, "I've felt that something was wrong with you guys for a long time. Alas, I was so stupid that I didn't see it earlier."
"It's strange that you can tell." Chen Ye said with a smile.
After dinner, Chen Ye and Sun Xiaoxiao parted ways.
It was already ten o'clock when Chen Ye arrived downstairs of the dormitory, and the dormitory door would be closed in half an hour.
In the cold wind, Chen Ye saw Duan Xu standing at the dormitory gate with a blue gift bag in his hand. Duan Xu had his back to him and was facing the dormitory gate.
From time to time, students passed by Duan Xu with curiosity in their eyes. First, they had never seen anyone so handsome, and second, they thought it was a bit strange for a boy like Duan Xu to wait downstairs of the boys' dormitory, because usually boys would wait for someone downstairs of the girls' dormitory.
Chen Ye walked over in two or three steps, stepped on Duan Xu's eyes from behind, and deliberately changed his voice, "Guess who I am?"
Duan Xu's body froze at first, and soon a mischievous laugh came out of his throat, "I can't guess."
"Then give me pineapple cupcakes as a punishment you can't guess."
Chen Ye snatched the gift bag from Duan Xu's hand. There was a cake shop in front of the school that sold pineapple cakes, which he particularly liked. Duan Xu often bought them for him, and he always used blue packaging bags.
Duan Xu turned around and said, "I was too busy today and didn't make dinner for you. What did you have for dinner?"
"I had dinner with Sun Xiaoxiao. He knew I moved out of your house, so he invited me to dinner to ask what was going on."
After giving the instructions, Chen Ye took Duan Xu for a walk and arrived at the holy place of the society downstairs of the boys' dormitory.
This is a green space with some stone tables and stone benches. Because there are many tall trees providing shade, many college couples come here to date and whisper.
Chen Ye wiped the stone bench and sat on it. He opened the cake, picked up the fork and took a bite.
Then he forked another spoonful and fed it to Duan Xu, who opened his mouth and ate it.
Chen Ye looked at his phone and said, "It will close in 15 minutes. We can still chat for minutes."
While eating, Chen Ye told Duan Xu what happened during the day, and suddenly he dreamed of the time when they were in junior high and high school, when one person was talking and the other was listening.
After eating the cake, Chen Ye cleaned up the garbage and stood up, "I have to go back."
Duan Xu stared at Chen Ye. The gentle evening breeze blew up the loose hair on Chen Ye's forehead, revealing his smooth forehead and a pair of bright big eyes. Duan Xu lowered his head and kissed Chen Ye's lips.
The fragrance of pineapple and the sweetness of cake spread between lips and teeth, and the soft moonlight illuminates a corner.
……
In the Capital's First People's Hospital, Duan Chenglin was lying on a white bed. His hair was completely grey, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked haggard.
No one could have imagined that Duan Chenglin, who was dying on the hospital bed, was still in good health a year ago and was the rich bachelor that everyone in the capital wanted to marry.
No matter how strong a person is, he will be vulnerable to illness.
Beside the bed, Duan Ming sat on a stool with his back hunched, peeling an apple in his hand, "Dad, Duan Xu said he doesn't want to see you, so don't even think about it."
Duan Chenglin coughed violently a few times, "Find him here, we must find him here."
After peeling the apple, Duan Ming took a bite. The crisp sound was particularly obvious in the quiet ward.
"Dad, people don't even want to acknowledge you, so why are you rushing to do that? What were you doing a few years ago? I'm not your son."
Duan Chenglin's face flushed red, "He is my son."
Seeing the stubbornness in Duan Chenglin's eyes, Duan Ming sneered, "Yes, I am not. My mother and I are just a pastime for you. Don't think I don't know that you have no intention of giving me the inheritance."
Duan Chenglin's cloudy eyes were full of shrewdness. "I've entrusted you with the management of the five houses under my name and Hengyuan's subsidiaries. Are you and your mother still not satisfied?"
"Ten subsidiaries are no match for Cheng Shin Group. I have been acting like a filial son and grandson in front of you all these years, but you don't even consider me. Dad, you deserve it for your good son not coming to see you at this time."
Duan Chenglin coughed violently, the skin on his old face trembling, and his cough sounded like an old bellows, so low and scary that it scared away the sparrows resting on the windowsill.
Duan Ming threw half an apple into the trash can, stood up, supported Duan Chenglin, and patted him on the back. He looked at Duan Chenglin with hatred and heartache.
"I'll go find him tomorrow. Whether he can come or not is none of my business."
After saying this, Duan Ming left the hospital.
Duan Ming went straight to Duan Xu's house, and after explaining his purpose, Duan Xu coldly refused and was about to close the door.
"Wait a minute," Duan Ming quickly grabbed the edge of the door frame, "I just want you to see him before he dies. Can seeing him once cost you your life?"
Duan Xu looked calm, "I don't want to see you."
Duan Ming snorted coldly, "What if I tell you that even if you don't see him, he still plans to give you the inheritance?"
"You can take it if you want it."
