Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Through the oxygen mask, the sound was reduced to a tiny amount.

Qi Zhengjun felt a sore nose.

He didn't even know what to do, so he stepped back a little and said, "I didn't call... I didn't get through at all."

"Please……"

The boy was still muttering, perhaps he had finally gathered some strength after waking up. He reached out and pulled the mask down a little, his lips slightly parted, his nostrils flared when the oxygen was not enough, and his breathing became heavier.

This action startled Qi Zhengjun. He quickly reached out to stop him, and his large palm easily covered most of Xu Bai's face.

"Don't do this, I won't hit you again."

The boy mumbled quietly, his lips trembling.

Qi Zhengjun touched Xu Bai's face like a tamed dog, "You...sister-in-law, can you tell me what is true?"

What is true?

Xu Bai wanted to point at his ear and tell him the target of the strategy - don't make exclamations and questions there! The little deaf boy lost his hearing aid and now he can't hear anything clearly!

"what……"

An unclear hoarse sound came out, Xu Bai forced himself to open his eyes, but his eyelashes blinked slower and slower.

Qi Zhengjun looked at his face and clenched his teeth.

[Qi Zhengjun’s favorability: 38]

Xu Bai's phone in his pocket vibrated. Qi Zhengjun opened it and took a look. He found that it was a collection list sent by the hospital where his brother was staying. Every item on it was listed clearly.

Thousands and hundreds of them gathered together, the number is not small.

Qi Zhengjun rang the bell and asked the doctor to come and check on Xu Bai's condition. He then left the ward, took out his cell phone and made a call in the corridor.

It rang twice and then the call was connected.

The woman on the other end spoke in a gentle voice, "Xiaojun, you finally remembered your mother?"

"Mom." Qi Zhengjun closed his eyes, his heart beating fast, "Has it been a long time since you and Dad visited my brother?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" The woman's voice sounded a little dissatisfied. "Xiaojun, stop getting mad at your dad and come back soon. You've had a hard time out there, and your family needs you now."

"…How is my brother doing?"

"What else?"

In the past, Qi Zhengjun never thought that there was anything wrong with his mother's attitude towards Qi Zhengze, but now when he heard it, he could actually feel an unconcealable disgust.

"Xiaojun, you are my good child. The Qi family is big and prosperous, and you will have to take over in the end... Darling, you are not a child anymore, you can't always be willful--"

Every sentence is wrong.

Qi Zhengjun clutched the phone tightly, "Mom, my brother is still in the hospital. He is the most suitable person to take over the Qi family. You know I don't like these."

"What's the point of liking or not liking it now?" The woman sighed. It was obvious that Qi Zhengjun had finally contacted her, which made her feel that her son had suffered so much that he finally wanted to turn back. She used her momentum to persuade him, "Come back and learn slowly. Your father can't retire, and there are so many old people in the company. You will learn slowly, and then your mother will be able to enjoy her life."

Qi Zhengze was not mentioned in every sentence, as if he was not lying in the hospital, but had gone directly to another world.

After the foreshadowing, Qi Zhengjun couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly, "My brother is in the hospital, who will pay for the medical expenses?"

There was a pause over there.

"...Of course we have to take the responsibility. After all, he is your brother. If it weren't for us, how do you think he could have held on until now, silly boy?"

Qi Zhengjun's heart sank suddenly. He lied in a low voice, "I'm in the hospital where my brother is hospitalized. This nurse actually said that my brother still owes hospital bills. That must be their problem. I knew you couldn't not pay him!"

"you……"

"Oh...it was renewed before. Maybe the doctor changed the treatment method. Let me call the hospital to ask for the details."

Qi Zhengjun said nothing.

"What are you doing in the hospital? Don't go to that kind of place. It's bad for your health. You don't need to worry about Qi Zhengze. Just come back home quickly. Do you hear me?"

"Mom will give you some money. Please stop arguing with Dad, okay?"

Too obvious.

After Qi Zhengjun hung up the phone, his eyes were bloodshot.

A remittance message popped up on his mobile bank card. Someone tapped him on the shoulder and he quickly turned around.

"The patient is not in a good mood." The doctor in the white coat told him, "He just gave him an injection. Oh, and he has hearing problems. Did you put away the hearing aid he was wearing before?"

[Qi Zhengjun’s favorability: 50]

Hearing aids.

No wonder Xu Bai always talked to himself... He didn't even realize that his hearing aid had disappeared at some point.

After paying the hospital fees with the money in his bank card, he wandered around the door of Xu Bai's ward twice, feeling too embarrassed to go in.

Lies have to be told one after another, but if one lie is exposed, the remaining trust will be shaky.

Even if that person is his biological mother.

Xu Bai: [Look, isn't the favorability increased? ]

Liu'er: [The target of the strategy has suddenly become smarter?] His mother always advised him like this before, but Qi Zhengjun never thought there was anything wrong.

Xu Bai: [Once there is suspicion, cracks will appear in the relationship.] In fact, he didn't know whether Qi Zhengze's case was really the work of Qi's mother. Anyway, it didn't matter who it was. Qi Zhengjun would always find something unusual under his deliberate guidance.

[Qi Zhengjun just saw that Zhang Yang was hot-tempered and had been brought up in a merchant family since childhood, so it would be easy for him to change.]

The favorability is only halfway, which is obviously not enough.

Qi Zhengjun seemed to have made up his mind and entered the ward.

Liu'er looked at the shining halo on Xu Bai's head, and then the young man began to frown in distress, turning his head around and struggling extremely unsteadily.

Liu Er: [A self-torture tactic?]

Xu Bai: [Side effects of sedatives, that's reasonable, right?]

The boy dug his fingers tightly into the bed sheet, causing wrinkles there.

His eyes were tightly closed, but tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes. The endless stream of clear tears dyed his entire face red.

I couldn't open my eyes and was trapped in a terrible darkness, as if I was in a trapped elevator with its door unable to open, or more like the room with the black and white photos.

A bloody mouth appeared in the darkness, swallowing him whole without mercy.

Qi Zhengjun put his hand on the back of Xu Bai's hand. He knew that no one could hear him, so he simply shook it gently.

But Xu Bai couldn't feel anything at all. He was trembling all over and felt like he had returned to the most terrifying time. Everything was caused by him, but when would such days end?

When will——

"……what."

His palm was tightly grasped. Xu Bai opened his eyes and looked at Qi Zhengjun with his still dilated pupils.

His pain was clearly evident.

[Qi Zhengjun's favorability: 55]

"...I was wrong..." The deaf man was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't realize that his boyfriend's brother was about to hug him and comfort him.

"Go back..." The boy, unable to make gestures with his fingers curled up, could only speak hoarsely, "Go home, go home..."

Hospitalization costs a lot of money, and Mr. Jiang... he has already exceeded the agreed time. He doesn't even dare to think about what he will face next.

Xu Bai couldn't hear, so Qi Zhengjun simply held the boy's hand with one hand and opened the memo and typed with the other hand.

Write on it.

- Don't worry, I won't treat you like that again. Just be obedient and leave the rest to me.

"..."

The boy whimpered and shook his head.

How could Qi Zhengjun come up with so much money?

All he could do was shake his head and shed tears. The sadness in his eyes could drown one.
