Green tea junior is always catching me

This New Year is probably the most difficult year for Li Xinghe. Because of Ding Mao's illness, the whole family ate New Year's Eve dinner in the hospital.

Fortunately, Ding Mao's tumor is benign, but such an operation is still too much for an elderly person.He recovered very slowly compared to someone younger than him.

On New Year's Eve, Ding Huishan and Li Xinghe went to buy a lot of lucky characters, and Ding Huishan cooked dishes at home and took them to the hospital.

Tao Chen also brought gifts. His ex-wife and daughter are not in China, so he will spend the New Year with them this year.

Li Xinghe pasted the word "Fu" on the window, and put the flowers in the vase.

The ward was warm, and the passing nurses on duty all came to wish them a happy new year.

"Dad, do you want to go to the bathroom?" Ding Huishan was sitting beside her peeling an apple, noticing that Ding Mao wanted to get up, and asked vigilantly.

Ding Mao said, "No, I want to get up and take a walk."

"How about that, the doctor told you to rest."

"I've been lying in bed for many days, and I'm not feeling well. Let me get up and take a walk."

Father and daughter, you talk to each other, and neither of them is willing to back down.

Ding Mao couldn't sit still, and insisted on getting out of bed with a stern face.

Ding Huishan had no choice but to put down the apple and said, "That's fine, I'll help you walk around the corridor, it's too cold downstairs, you can't go down."

Ding Mao felt that walking around the corridor was better than lying down, so he compromised.

Ding Huishan helped him go out, and told Li Xinghe: "When your grandma comes back later, remember to ask her to deliver some fruit to the nurse's station."

"Got it." Li Xinghe was reading the application materials for studying abroad, dazzled.

After that day, Ding Huishan took the initiative to chat with him for a long time.

The two met honestly, and she solemnly apologized to Li Xinghe, saying that she would respect his ideas in the future.

Li Xinghe didn't explain too much, just told her after she said those words, "Mom, no matter where I go, I will return to you in the end."

Ding Huishan was still holding back her tears, but when she heard this sentence, she couldn't help it immediately, and burst out crying while holding him.

Li Xinghe has been with her for many years, so he understands her lack of security. He slowly caresses Ding Huishan's back, wondering why she has become so thin, did she become so thin during this period?You can feel the bones in the back.

Li Lian's assistant contacted him and sent him several schools that he hoped to apply for.

Li Xinghe also found an institution and started preparing for the TOEFL exam.

His English has always been very bad, and he signed up for an online class during the winter vacation.

While brushing up the questions, Zhao Qingbei called.

There was a lot of wind on his side, and he asked, "Are you at home or in the hospital?"

Li Xinghe made a wrong question again, dropped his pen and said, "In the hospital, what's wrong?"

"I'll look for you, and I'll be there in 10 minutes." Zhao Qingbei said.

"Ah? Didn't you celebrate the New Year at home?"

Zhao Qingbei didn't say much: "Let's talk when we meet."

Li Xinghe was puzzled, so he had no choice but to say hello.

After hanging up the phone, he went to the bathroom to wash his face, brushed his hair a few times, then put on his coat and prepared to go downstairs to pick up Zhao Qingbei.

When I went out, I met Ding Huishan and Ding Mao. Ding Huishan saw that he was neatly dressed and was wearing a scarf, and asked, "What are you going to do? I will have lunch when your grandma comes back later."

"I'm going to meet a friend, I'll be back later." Li Xinghe said vaguely.

Ding Huishan asked: "Which friend? Xia Qi, you call her up."

"A friend I know."

Li Xinghe didn't look at her, he wrapped his scarf and went downstairs.

Ding Huishan looked suspiciously at Ding Mao and said, "You don't think there is anything wrong with this child?"

"There's something wrong," Ding Mao chuckled, "I'm in love."

He broke the secret with a single sentence, which made Ding Huishan a little speechless.

Ding Mao looked at her with disgust and said, "You little girl, you just have a lot of things. When he was single, you urged him to fall in love, but now you are not happy."

Ding Huishan was poked into a sore foot, and immediately retorted, "Why am I unhappy? I just asked, but I can't do it? Don't talk nonsense, okay, I have no objection to his dating, he is about to graduate from college, now When not looking for it."

Ding Mao pursed his lips: "It's good that you know, don't worry too much about young people's affairs, otherwise you will be disgusted."

Ding Huishan: "..."

She had no choice but to help the old man in, and secretly rolled her eyes.

As soon as Li Xinghe arrived downstairs, he saw Zhao Qingbei's car.

He bought a roasted sweet potato at the entrance of the hospital, took it in his hand and got into the car.

"You can't park here, go to the parking lot." He put on his seat belt and said.

Zhao Qingbei smiled at him, drove the car into the parking lot, and asked, "How is your TOEFL preparation?"

Seeing that he wasn't depressed, Li Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly peeled the roasted sweet potato: "It's a mess, I don't even know how I guessed correctly in English in the college entrance examination, I'm too patriotic."

Zhao Qingbei found a parking space and stopped, and looked at him amusedly: "It's okay, your boyfriend is here."

Li Xinghe's eyes flickered: "I... I signed up for a class and snatched it for a dollar to audition, hey, don't..."

Zhao Qingbei pulled him over involuntarily, grabbed his cheek and said, "Reporting for work with me, huh?"

"The sweet potato is about to drop!!" Li Xinghe was held in his arms, afraid of being seen by passers-by, his eyes rolled around.

"If you drop it, you will drop it." Zhao Qingbei lowered his head, and took a bite of the tip of the sweet potato in his hand.

Li Xinghe suddenly became furious: "You ate the tip of the sweet potato! That's the sweetest place!"

Zhao Qingbei laughed out loud, "Don't shout, just give you something to eat."

He pressed Li Xinghe's head, and put the tip of the sweet potato into his mouth mouth to mouth.

Li Xinghe: "!!!"

He hurriedly pushed Zhao Qingbei away, and looked out the window guiltily, like a frightened hamster.

"There will be no one, everyone will go back for the festival at this point." Zhao Qingbei said with a low smile.

Li Xinghe looked at him defensively, moved the remaining sweet potato away a little, and asked him, "Then why did you come here? Does Aunt You know that you are looking for me?"

Zhao Qingbei's smile gradually disappeared, and she was silent for a moment and said, "She and my father went to see my brother."

He didn't say much, and it seemed that every time he talked about his family, he kept silent.

Li Xinghe frowned: "Are they not coming back for the New Year?"

"Well, it's always been like this. I went abroad this year and came back next year." Zhao Qingbei said nonchalantly.

Li Xinghe slowly understood, it seemed that Zhao Zhongming was not partial to his youngest son like the outside rumors said.

He had read gossip news before, saying that because of the eldest son's illness, Zhao Zhongming focused on nurturing the second son, and almost never cared about the life or death of the eldest son.

But from Zhao Qingbei's words, his family is different from the outside world.

Li Xinghe said: "Then you didn't go to grandpa's house?"

"They also went to see my brother."

Li Xinghe paused, "So you celebrate the New Year alone?"

Zhao Qingbei put his hands on the steering wheel and said after a while: "My brother and I don't have a good relationship."

He only said one sentence without continuing, and the car fell into a brief silence.

Li Xinghe wanted to ask something, but it was not easy to ask. Many times, Zhao Qingbei didn't take the initiative to tell him, and he couldn't ask him face to face.

After a long time, he asked: "Then do you want to celebrate the New Year with me?"

After saying this, he was a little annoyed.

Ding Huishan seemed to have some complaints about his relationship with Zhao Qingbei, and he didn't discuss this matter with Ding Huishan in advance. Would it be bad to take Zhao Qingbei back without taking the initiative?

But Zhao Qingbei shook his head, "No, I just came to see you, and I won't disturb your reunion with your family."

His tone of voice was normal, but for no reason it made Li Xinghe's heart tingle.

He blurted out: "No, why bother, come on, just drop by to see my grandfather, he asked me last time if you have returned to S City."

"Really?" Zhao Qingbei tilted his head, apparently believing his words.

Of course Li Xinghe made it up, he hesitated and said: "Really, let's go, come up with me, my mother cooked a lot of dishes... Uh, she didn't cook it by herself, Aunt Mei also helped, so It's not hard to eat."

Zhao Qingbei smiled, and just looked at him sideways for a while, feeling embarrassed when he saw Li Xinghe, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Seeing that he finally agreed, Li Xinghe also grinned, lifted up the roasted sweet potato and handed it to his mouth: "Try it, it's so sweet."

"Not as sweet as before." Zhao Qingbei took a bite and said.

Li Xinghe made a gesture to beat him up, "In front of my mother in a while, don't do that, she has sharp eyes."

Zhao Qingbei said, "Isn't brother going to admit me?"

"It's not that I don't plan, but I have to do it step by step." Li Xinghe said with a smile, "I love you very much, and I don't want you to be wronged in front of my mother, so I want to help you improve your impression score first, and then slowly tell her."

Zhao Qingbei's eyes darkened, and he pulled him in front of her again.

"You come again!" Li Xinghe hurriedly hid the sweet potato behind his back.

Zhao Qingbei didn't pay attention to the sweet potato, lowered his head and kissed his mouth, the tip of his tongue wrapped around his lips, smacked his lips and said, "The one in brother's mouth is still sweeter."

Li Xinghe blushed and scolded him: "Shameless."

Zhao Qingbei chuckled, "Don't be ashamed."

"you……"

"Refund the cram school, and I'll make it up for you."

The corner of Li Xinghe's mouth couldn't help but twitched, hurting him: "Are you responsible for my failure in the exam?"

"I'm in charge. I'll be responsible for whatever you do." Zhao Qingbei kissed the corner of his mouth again, "Take good care of yourself when you're abroad, tell me anything, and call me every day, do you hear me?"

It's still early for him to go abroad, but for some reason, Li Xinghe's nose is sore from what he said.

"Okay." He whispered.

"Wait for me for a year, I will find you soon."

"it is good."

"You are not allowed to look at other men, and you are not allowed to give out your contact information."

"it is good."

Li Xinghe thought sullenly, he really didn't want to leave him.
