Deng Yuan's hair is already a little long, and he can hold a short ponytail behind his head.

He changed into a sky blue cotton skirt, a large pure white sweater on his upper body, and a pair of white canvas shoes on his feet.

"Sister," Xu Yihan couldn't help staring at Deng Yuan's smooth calf, "You look like a high school student."

"Hey," Deng Yuan smiled embarrassedly, and explained, "Xiao Kong is still young, so I... dress younger."

"Well, let's go." Xu Yihan put the piece of Black Forest cake into the refrigerator.

Getting in the car, Deng Yuan sat in the co-driver, sipping the cup of milk tea in his hand, his cheeks puffed up slightly.Along the way, Xu Yihan was looking at Deng Yuan out of the corner of his eye, feeling that his chest seemed to be bulging along with his cheeks, and it was unbearably hot.

When getting off the car, Deng Yuan had already finished a large cup of milk tea.

Xu Yihan smiled and asked, "You like it so much?"

Deng Yuan nodded, with a bit of light green matcha milk on his lips, looking naive: "I like it, I remember when I first came to Shanghai..." He paused for two seconds before continuing, " At that time, Shi Yan bought me a cup of milk tea, COCO’s. It’s delicious. I used to drink milk tea in my hometown. It cost four or five yuan a cup. So expensive, but so delicious."

After he finished speaking, he raised the empty paper cup in his hand to look at it, and said, "It's so beautifully packaged."

Xu Yihan was stunned when he heard that: "You said it earlier, I will buy it for you every day."

"No," Deng Yuan said with a smile, "drinking every day is too extravagant."

"I have money."

"That's not how money is spent," Deng Yuan squeezed Xu Yihan's hand, "Let's go, Yihan."

Xu Yihan followed Deng Yuan into the hospital, dazed all the way.His chest, which bulged along with Deng Yuan's cheeks, seemed to be deflated at this moment, wrinkled and shrunk into a ball like a walnut.Did you say it hurts?Not at all, he has lived for so many years, of course he has seen people who are poorer and more difficult than Deng Yuan - when he was in the UK, there was a boy in the circle of international students, who was so poor that he queued up with the homeless to receive relief meals every day.Besides, if you don't have money to drink milk tea, you can't be considered "poor and tight".

But, to be precise, he actually felt a little guilty.Deng Yuan is related to him by blood, Deng Yuan is his brother—or sister.He thought it would be great if he could meet Deng Yuan earlier, he would buy milk tea for Deng Yuan every day, and buy all those popular online celebrity styles, it doesn't matter if he gets fat.

"Yihan, do you want to go in?" Deng Yuan asked softly.

They had already reached the third floor of the inpatient department. Xu Yihan looked up and saw the three characters of "digestive department".Normally he wouldn't go in, and he didn't know that little space.But Deng Yuan's sentence "Shi Yan just bought me a cup of milk tea" just now made him a little uncomfortable. How long can a cup of milk tea last?

"Go in," Xu Yihan said, "Condolences to the children."

He followed Deng Yuan into the ward, which was a large four-person ward, and Xiao Kong was lying on the bed by the window.She was so thin that both eye sockets were sunken, and her hair was withered and yellow like weeds, but she was quite energetic. When she saw Deng Yuan coming in, she immediately raised her voice, "Sister Qing! You're here!"

Miss Qing?Xu Yihan was puzzled, but didn't ask.

"Well, how is today? Are you still dizzy?"

"I'm not dizzy anymore, the medicine prescribed by Dr. Li is quite effective," Xiaokong looked at Xu Yihan, and asked in a low voice, "This is it?"

"...My brother," Deng Yuan said, "is the one who lent us money."

"Ah," Xiao Kong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Xu Yihan, "Thank you."

Xu Yihan shook his head: "You're welcome."

Sora doesn't look like a boy - except for the flat chest.It wasn't that Xu Yihan went to look at her breasts on purpose, but that she was really too thin, and she was lying upright on the bed, like a narrow wooden board.

Deng Yuan: "Dr. Li told me yesterday that you are recovering well, and you may be able to drink some porridge next week."

"Well, okay," Xiaokong smiled, "I dreamed of eating hot pot last night, shrimp slippery—such a big piece!"

"I'll take you to eat when you leave the hospital."

Xiao Kong blinked: "Then you have to line up."

"Ok?"

"She came last night, and she came here after the evening self-study," Xiao Kong said in a smug tone, "I'm crying so much, I can't be coaxed, we agreed, we will go to eat Jiugongge after we are discharged from the hospital!"

"It's still Jiugongge." Deng Yuan stretched out his hand and tapped on her forehead, "You can only eat clear soup."

"Isn't it—"

Deng Yuan sat on the edge of the hospital bed, and Xu Yihan stood a few steps away from the hospital bed.He watched Deng Yuan leaning over to chat with Xiao Kong, the two were talking and laughing.After a while, Xiao Kong suddenly glanced at Xu Yihan, and then whispered something in Deng Yuan's ear very lightly.

Deng Yuan shook his head first, then nodded again, with a somewhat helpless expression.

After another ten minutes, Deng Yuan got up: "Then I'll go first? Chi Yang will come to see you tomorrow."

"Yeah," Xiao Kong smiled wickedly, "Are you going on a date?"

"...More or less," Deng Yuan also laughed, "Go to bed and put on the quilt at night."

"I know, I know."

The two walked out of the ward, and Deng Yuan went to the nurse's station to inquire about Xiao Kong's situation. The nurses were very kind and reassured Deng Yuan that they would take good care of the child.

"Where's her family?" Standing on the stairs on the third floor, Xu Yihan asked curiously.

"She ran away from her home, and her home is in Anhui."

"Run out? Run away from home?"

"Almost," Deng Yuan sighed, "her family found out that she wanted to change her gender, and her family is in a small county...the family couldn't accept it, so she was not allowed to go to school, and she was asked to get married."

"Married?" Xu Yihan asked in surprise, "How old is she?"

"Seventeen this year."

"..."

"She has a little girlfriend in Shanghai," Deng Yuan smiled, and his tone became softer, "She just came to Shanghai—these two are still dating online."

"Oh, that's the one who skipped the night study to see her?"

"Yes, I heard she said that her grades are very good."

People came and went in the corridor, nurses pushed their carts past them, several doctors hurried past, and there were also young people supporting the old lady, and middle-aged men leading their wives... Xu Yihan also smiled: "Now Your child is so romantic. By the way, why does she call you Sister Qing?"

Deng Yuan: "She knows my real name, but she always calls me that outside, for...safety."

Xu Yihan frowned, just about to ask what kind of danger you have encountered, but Deng Yuan's eyes widened suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yihan turned his head to follow Deng Yuan's gaze.

"...When those three people walked over," Deng Yuan raised his legs to follow, "they were saying Xiao Kong's name."

Xu Yihan's heart was shaken, and he quickly followed - while Deng Yuan had already started running.Two men and a woman rushed straight to Xiaokong's ward, and Xu Yihan heard them slam the door with a loud "bang" when they entered the room five or six meters away.

"What are you doing!" Deng Yuan screamed and rushed forward, a man had already firmly held Xiao Kong's thin body, while she was struggling like a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board.

"What am I doing! You fucking lied to my daughter and you dare to ask me!" The man put his foot on Deng Yuan's stomach, pulled the needle out of Xiaokong's arm with his big hand, and a series of transparent liquid medicine came out from the slender needle tip Splash into the air.

Xiao Kong hoarsely said: "Dad! Dad, let me go!"

And another man grabbed Deng Yuan by the collar and lifted him up from the ground: "You guys are the ones who lied to the child—hiss!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yihan punched him to the ground!

Xu Yihan didn't think about anything, only one thought in his mind - they dare to beat Deng Yuan!He pinned the man to the ground firmly, grabbed his neck with one hand and punched him hard with the other, causing the man to growl repeatedly.And the middle-aged woman threw herself on Xu Yihan and grabbed his hair, but Deng Yuan dragged her away forcefully, and the two also tore.

It wasn't until the hospital security arrived that the scuffle finally came to an end.Xiaokong's face was pale, and he coughed unceasingly, while Xu Yihan was almost on par with the two men, his nosebleeds were all over his neckline, and there were bright red scars on his neck from the woman's nails.

The ward was in a mess, Xiao Kong's infusion stand was knocked down, and the quilt and pillow rolled to the ground.The family members of the other three patients kept screaming: "The underworld is fighting! Hurry up and call the police! Hurry up—"

"This is my daughter! These swindlers tricked my daughter here!" The man who pulled out Xiaokong's needle said viciously, "You call the police! Call the police! I don't believe there is no law in Shanghai!"

"Dad—Dad, I came here by myself! It has nothing to do with them!" Xiao Kong knelt on the hospital bed and grabbed the man's arm, "They are here to help me!"

"Shut up!" The man slapped Xiao Kong's face, "I'll settle your debt with you when I get back! Damn it."

"Doctor, look, this is our household registration book!" The woman took out the household registration booklet from her pocket, and approached the attending doctor who rushed over after hearing the sound, "You see we are a family, this is me, my husband , My child! This child was tricked into coming to Shanghai, and we found it with great difficulty. This—"

Deng Yuan said anxiously: "Doctor Li, they don't care about the child's illness, they want to force her to marry!"

"What disease? What disease are you talking about?" The woman pointed at Deng Yuan and was about to pounce on him again, but was stopped by the security guards, "My child is fine, it's because you tricked me into getting sick!"

Deng Yuan is not to be outdone: "She has a gender cognitive disorder!"

"Fuck your mother!" the woman spat, "The child is spoiled by your non-male and non-feminine stuff!"

Xu Yihan wiped the blood from his face, his brain felt like it was going to explode.

"Okay, okay, we also know about your child's situation," Dr. Li quickly smoothed things over, "Well, let's not talk about whether your child has gender cognitive impairment, she has just had her stomach washed, and her sex hormones are also out of balance. , Ah, this must be cured, do you understand what I mean?"

"Cure, it's okay to cure the disease. We take my child to treat the disease. What are they?! The child was fine when he ran away from home. How long has it been like this?!"

"Okay, okay," Dr. Li dragged Deng Yuan and Xu Yihan out of the ward, "you go back first, I know you are—to show love—but since someone is here at the child's house, you should Avoid it, ah."

Deng Yuan's face flushed with anxiety: "They want to take her home! That's the end!"

"The little girl is not yet an adult, if his family really calls the police, you can't afford it!" Dr. Li patted Deng Yuan on the shoulder, "If you want to negotiate, at least wait until tomorrow, you all calm down, huh? Just fight, what can you negotiate?"

"I--"

"If you continue to make trouble like this, what will the other patients do?" Dr. Li frowned, "Can't we send a few security guards in the ward? Well, you wait, I'll go and communicate with them."

Doctor Li turned around and went back to the ward, leaving Deng Yuan and Xu Yihan where they were.

The nosebleed was still bleeding, and the passing nurse kindly handed Xu Yihan some gauze.

After a while, Dr. Li came out again: "Talk to them, the child has to continue treatment tonight - and at this point, he will not be able to go through the discharge procedures. You can come back early tomorrow morning, okay? Calm down and talk about it tomorrow."

Deng Yuan bit his lip hard and looked towards the ward.There was a piece of glass on the door of the ward, and through the glass, Xu Yihan saw that the woman was shaking Xiao Kong's shoulder and scolding, while Xiao Kong hung his head and remained motionless.

Deng Yuan said: "At least let me go in and take a look at Xiao Kong, she must be terrified."

Dr. Li: "Hey——"

In the end Deng Yuan entered the ward, two men and a woman looked at him as if facing a formidable enemy, but he just looked at Xiao Kong.

Xiao Kong's face was a little swollen, and there were still tears on her cheeks, but she didn't cry, but nodded to Deng Yuan: "You guys go back first, tomorrow... come back tomorrow."

Deng Yuan was silent, and a few seconds later he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "Protect yourself, and find Dr. Li if you need anything, do you know?"

Xiaokong nodded: "I know."

Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan went straight home without going shopping or going to the movies.

It was raining on the road - it seems Shanghai always rains at dusk.When they entered the house, both of them were in a mess, with blood stains all over their bodies.

"Yihan," kept silent all the way, then Deng Yuan finally said, "I'm sorry."

"..."

"I didn't expect this to happen..."

"It's okay, sister," Xu Yihan took out the piece of Black Forest from the refrigerator, "I can't go out to play anymore, let's eat cake."

Deng Yuan dug the cake with a spoon and ate it in small bites.With downcast eyes and a dirty face, he looked like a stray cat.Xu Yihan looked at him, recalling the scene of him rushing into the ward and rushing towards the man, feeling a little dazed—it turned out that Deng Yuan still had such a fierce side.

After the cake was finished, Xu Yihan asked, "Do you like it? I'll buy it for you tomorrow?"

Deng Yuan forced a smile: "I like it."

Then he said: "Yihan, thank you...thank you for helping us."

That's right, if Xu Yihan is not here today, then Deng Yuan and Xiao Kong, who are the opponents of those three people?

But Xu Yihan didn't know why he rushed forward in a flash of brain, and now that he thought about it, there was no need to fight at all-because it was useless, and they couldn't stop Xiaokong's parents at all.

"I look down on men who beat women the most." Xu Yihan said.

Deng Yuan nodded.

That night, they didn't make love as they had agreed at noon, but the two of them lay on the bed and talked softly.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Yihan asked.

"...Xiao Kong must not be taken back."

"But she is not yet an adult, her parents want to take her away, you have nothing to do."

"..."

"If her parents really call the police, it will be even more troublesome."

"..."

"Sister," Xu Yihan sighed softly, "You all did your best."

Deng Yuan suddenly covered his eyes: "I can't watch her be destroyed."

He cried.

Xu Yihan raised his hand to hug him, but he couldn't let go of his arm.He suddenly thought, he can buy milk tea and cakes for Deng Yuan, he can give Deng Yuan money, but what else?What Deng Yuan did was like Jingwei reclamation—useless.He can't help Deng Yuan.

That night, Xu Yihan and Deng Yuan faced each other silently, neither knowing when they fell asleep.The matter of Xiao Kong was like an unshakable iron cage, firmly pressing on them.

After four o'clock in the morning, Deng Yuan's cell phone beside his pillow rang loudly, cutting through the silent night mournfully.

Dr. Li said that Xiao Kong jumped off the building.
