freedom of rebirth

Xu Guanhao opened his mouth and tried to keep his tone as natural as possible. "The weather is a bit hot these days, so I got angry."

Although Xu Guanhao tried his best to act natural, the cheek touched by Xu Jie slowly turned red uncontrollably.After Xu Jie felt the temperature of Xu Guanhao's cheek, he was startled suddenly, and his fingers subconsciously swayed on that cheek.

With a bang, this time even Xu Guanhao felt his face burn, so he got up quickly in fright.

"I... go to the bathroom."

After Xu Guanhao left in a hurry, Xu Jie lowered his eyes and curled his mouth.

Xu Guanhao's face was not so red when he came out of the bathroom again, but the hair on his forehead became wet.

Xu Guanhao sat down awkwardly, but Xu Jie pretended not to notice, and touched the soup on the table with his hands.Feeling that the soup was still warm, he picked it up and put it in Xu Guanhao's hands.

"Drink this!"

Seeing Xu Jie's eyes sweeping over the corner of his mouth, Xu Guanhao couldn't help but smiled, and without refusing, he drank the soup from the bowl.

As soon as his eyes were healed, Xu Jie's mood improved a lot. The smile that was rarely seen was still on his face today, and Xu Guanhao couldn't help but sneak a few glances.

In the afternoon, Xu Guanhao, who came in from the outside, opened the door and went in. What he saw was Xu Jie, who was leaning on the bed and watching TV with a smile on his face. He immediately stayed there, his heart beating faster.

Xu Jie heard the sound of the door opening and no one came over, so he turned his head and saw Xu Guanhao looking at him with a fascinated look. He felt helpless and amused, and said directly to the people staying there: "Come in!"

Nodding his head, Xu Guanhao showed a smile on his face, walked over to sit beside Xu Jie's bed in a good mood, stared at Xu Jie for a while and then lowered his head.

"Hey, the weather is not hot in the afternoon, let's go out for a walk!"

A few times ago, the doctor said that he could get out of bed and move around. Xu Jie was reluctant to go out because his eyes could not see. Today, his eyes are healed, and Xu Jie did not refuse when he heard that he went out. He nodded and agreed.

In the garden, Xu Guanhao walked around with Xu Jie and found a chair to sit down to rest. As soon as Xu Jie sat down, Xu Guanhao took out the prepared water cup and handed it over.

After taking a few sips of water, Xu Jie handed the cup to Xu Guanhao to signal Xu Guanhao to drink some too. Xu Guanhao got angry, and the blister on the corner of his mouth hurt even when he looked at it.

When the two of them sat for a while and were about to go back, Xu Guanhao happened to receive a call. He glanced at the phone and had to answer it, so he asked Xu Jie to sit there and wait for a while, and walked aside with his phone to answer it.

After Xu Guanhao left, Xu Jie leaned back on the chair.

"Ajie..."

Surprised when he heard the voice, Xu Jie looked over and saw Yan Ran walking over in a hospital gown, his face full of surprise.

"Ajie, I heard they said that you can't see." As soon as he arrived in front of Xu Jie, tears flowed from Yan Ran's eyes, and he looked at Xu Jie worriedly.

Smiling slightly, Xu Jie stood up. "Don't worry, I'm fine, how about you? Are you all right?"

Hearing that Xu Jie was well, Yan Ran looked into Xu Jie's eyes again, he was indeed looking at her, so he felt relieved and wiped his tears with his hands. "I'm fine. The doctor said I'll be discharged in a few days."

"That's good."

Reaching out and gently pulling Xu Jie's cuff, Yan Ran pouted. "In the past month, Xu Guanhao has been watched by people at the door of your ward. No one can go in. I wanted to see you last time but they stopped me. They also said that unless Xu Guanhao agrees, no one can see you."

"Xiaojie needs to recuperate. I let people watch to prevent idlers like you from going in and disturbing him."

Xu Guanhao's deep voice sounded from behind, startling Yan Ran, and then he saw Xu Guanhao walking out from behind Xu Jie with a gloomy face.

"Ajie..." Scared to hide beside Xu Jie, Yan Ran gently tugged at Xu Jie's clothes.

Looking up at Xu Guanhao, Xu Jie patted Yan Ran's shoulder with his hand. "It's getting late, let's go back!"

Biting her lip, Yan Ran secretly glanced at Xu Guanhao, then looked up at Xu Jie eagerly. "Ajie..."

"Go back! I'll see you the day you leave the hospital."

Hearing what Xu Jie said, Yan Ran let go of Xu Jie. "Okay, you must come."

"Okay, go back!"

Nodding his head, Yan Ran turned around and left.

After Yan Ran left, Xu Jie looked at Xu Guanhao, and saw Xu Guanhao's face was sullen, with suppressed anger all over his face.

Sighing helplessly in his heart, Xu Jie went over and took Xu Guanhao's hand. "Let's go back too!"

Silently looking at Xu Jie, Xu Guanhao firmly held Xu Jie's hand after being pulled by Xu Jie, but he still didn't say a word, and went back to the ward with Xu Jie in silence.

After returning to the ward, Xu Guanhao still looked sullen, and sat by the bed with a stiff face without saying a word.

"Are you still angry?"

Xu Guanhao didn't expect that when he was sullen, Xu Jie would ask again, and the pressure that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly couldn't hold back.

"That woman, she's suing you again."

Amused by Xu Guanhao's tone, Xu Jie smiled inwardly, but on the surface he still looked the same. "Yan Ran is right! You sent someone to watch at the door of my ward."

The anger in his heart suddenly turned into guilt, Xu Guanhao thought of himself and agreed to Xu Jie not to send anyone to monitor him.

"I just let people watch outside the ward, afraid that someone will disturb you." His momentum dropped, and Xu Guanhao lowered his head.

Xu Jie sighed, Xu Guanhao's body froze immediately, and his heart became a little uneasy.

Seeing Xu Guanhao's nervous and bewildered look, Xu Jie was both amused and sour in his heart. Finally, he took an ointment from the bedside and pulled Xu Guanhao's hand to make Xu Guanhao look up.

"Xiaojie, I..."

Squeezing out the ointment, Xu Jie gently wiped it on the corner of Xu Guanhao's mouth with his hand, making Xu Guanhao's words pause.

"Don't do this next time, I really don't like it when you do this." Seriously helping Xu Guanhao wipe the medicine on the corner of his mouth, Xu Jie said lightly.

After Xu Jie applied the medicine, Xu Guanhao grabbed his hand as soon as he withdrew his hand.

"Xiaojie, I know what I'm doing is wrong, I'm always afraid...you like others, I love you, I don't want to force you, but I don't want to see you like others, I know I'm mean...but, Xiaojie , don’t hate me, please.”

Xu Guanhao's words made Xu Jie somewhat at a loss as to how to answer, and finally he could only raise his arms in embarrassment, patted Xu Guanhao's back twice, and then wrapped his arms around Xu Guanhao.

Xu Guanhao's heart was relieved by Xu Jie's closeness, but Xu Jie's refusal to answer also made him understand.Xu Guanhao hugged Xu Jie vigorously again, took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in his heart, and then let go of Xu Jie calmly.

In this way, neither of them mentioned Yan Ran's matter anymore, but when Yan Ran was discharged from the hospital, Xu Jie obeyed the agreement to send him off. Xu Guanhao was dissatisfied but couldn't say anything, but Xu Jie followed when he went to send him off.

"Uncle, aunt...I'm really sorry, this incident is all because of me, I assure you, these incidents will never happen again in the future, and you don't need to go abroad again."

Facing Xu Jie's sincere apology, Yan Ran's parents looked embarrassed. Facing Xu Jie, they had too many complaints in their hearts, but the disparity in status prevented them from saying anything. For the matter of going abroad, I cried and begged them for so long, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen again after they had no choice but to agree.

"Dad, Mom." Seeing that his parents didn't express their apology to Xu Jie, Yan Ran was a little unhappy, stomped his feet and tugged at his mother's hand.

Looking at each other, father Yan shook his head and sighed. "Xu Jie, right? Ran Ran is a little ignorant. Mr. Xu also visited our house a few days ago. We did not educate our daughter properly. Please rest assured Mr. Xu. We will discipline our daughter well after we go back this time. I hope Mr. Xu will let us go family."

Xu Jie didn't expect Yan Ran's father to say such a sentence, and Xu Guanhao's face behind him was also a little stiff. After seeing Xu Jie frown, he felt a little flustered.

"Dad, what do you say?" Yan Ran's heart sank when he saw Xu Jie's face was a little embarrassed.

"Ran Ran, shut up..." Yan's mother shouted, hating iron for being weak.

Yan's father had been a teacher for half his life, and he had the backbone of a literati. After he finished speaking, he stood there with his back straightened, and waited for Xu Jie and Xu Guanhao's answers with serious expressions.

Feeling a little guilty under Yan's father's gaze, Xu Jie frowned, and when he heard Xu Guanhao was about to speak, he pulled Xu Guanhao to interrupt Xu Guanhao's words.

"Uncle, Aunt...I'm sorry, please rest assured that no one will disturb you in the future, and we will redeem the house you sold a while ago, so..."

"There is no need for the house. As long as Mr. Xu promises not to disturb our family, we will be happy. Let's go."

Yan's father took the things, gestured to Yan's mother, and walked out of the ward.

"Mom, mom... Ajie..." Yan Ran was pulled away by his mother forcefully, his eyes turned red before he left, and he turned his head to look at Xu Jie.

After Yan Ran and his parents left, Xu Guanhao was a little unhappy because of the other party's attitude, but when he saw Xu Jie's calm face, he suddenly became uneasy.

"Little Jie..."

Stepping up and leaving directly, Xu Jie ignored Xu Guanhao who was behind him, and went directly back to his own ward. When Xu Guanhao was about to follow in, he quickly closed the door, and directly shut Xu Guanhao out.

Surprised, Xu Guanhao didn't expect that he would be locked outside, and he became even more anxious and nervous.

Xu Jie, who returned to the ward, kept his face down. After lying back on the bed, he pulled the quilt over his body.

Xu Jie didn't expect that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and it was already afternoon when he woke up.

"Xiaojie, you're awake."

After standing up, Xu Jie broke away from Xu Guanhao's hand and sat up alone.
