Chapter 29 Nursing
"Where are you?" Cheng Yue's mother cut to the chase, her tone very cold.
"I'm outside." Cheng Yue frowned, replied vaguely, and asked again, "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter..." Cheng Yue's mother took a deep breath, and said with an extremely angry look, "Every time I tell you that you are always procrastinating, I knew something would happen sooner or later!"
Cheng Yue's frown deepened, he subconsciously glanced at Bai Xiao, got up and left the table.
The room was too small, Cheng Yue walked a few steps in the living room, still afraid that Bai Xiao could hear him, so he turned and went to Bai Xiao's room.
Seeing his dignified expression and the momentary deterioration of his mood, Bai Xiao felt a little worried.
Cheng Yue closed the bedroom door and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Liang Xining and her son already know about your body, do you know? Your father must have told that bitch... Now that they have a handle on you, they will use this to attack you sooner or later!"
It has happened once, Cheng Yue thought to himself.He knew that if his mother found out about this, she would definitely be hysterical, so he didn't tell her.
"Have you ever wondered why your dad told her? That's because he was so disappointed in you! Cheng Yue, I'm not in the group now. I can feel that you have lacked fighting spirit in recent months. How about Zhuo Yu's case? Have you really tried your best? Have you stayed in the group for so many years for nothing? You let that boy Liang Kai and you have an equal share? You haven’t seen Liang Xining’s complacent look! He even ran in front of me to show off his power. Just the beginning! Are you going to let Liang Kai devour your rights bit by bit in the future?"
She was so angry that she spoke so fast that Cheng Yue couldn't interrupt her at all, and couldn't interrupt her in anger - after all, she was still at Bai Xiao's house.
"Let's not mention Zhuo Yu's case, let's talk about yourself—every time I tell you about the operation, you are vague. Now? I can't understand why you still refuse to do this at all. Surgery! You didn’t give me a clear reason, so good, you don’t want to make a decision, I’ll help you——I’ve made an appointment with a doctor for you, and tomorrow, you and I will see the doctor and arrange Let's talk about the time of the operation, this time I will not accept any excuses and delays!"
Listening to his words, Cheng Yue's mood sank to the bottom a little bit, and his expression gradually became sad.
Even though he had made up his mind to break free from the shackles of the family, his mother's words still made him feel a stabbing pain in his heart.He could feel that his emotions were out of control. While listening to the phone, he wandered around the room aimlessly, letting his eyes go. Suddenly, a small thing caught his attention.
It was a pebble, placed on the wall shelf opposite Bai Xiao's bed, on which a piece of fertile soil and a small seedling like a bean sprout were painted with paint.
Cheng Yue subconsciously took it down and looked at it. Turning it over, he saw three words written on the back: Little Bean Sprouts.
childish……
Cheng Yue despised Bai Xiao, but his heart was full of soreness. The angry voice on the phone was temporarily blocked, and his mood miraculously calmed down.
Suddenly, almost tears welled up in my eyes.
He remembered Bai Xiao's words about accompanying him through this period of time, and suddenly a burst of extravagant hope rose in his heart.
The mother's hysteria continued, and he wanted to tell her that he was pregnant, but he couldn't.
Touching that little rock, he knew that he had to protect the healthy growth of this little thing, and he couldn't bear a little risk; he couldn't be as accommodating and weak as before.
There are some things that he can't bear to break, he is afraid that this thing will hurt his mother, but if he doesn't say it, this thing will turn around and hurt himself.
So he sneered, interrupted his mother, and said, "I won't do the operation, and you don't want to tell me about it again."
Perhaps because of the indifference and firmness in his tone, the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds... Then there was a higher rebound: "...you have been procrastinating for more than ten years, and now you are telling me not to do it? Why didn't you say that you don't want the position of Cheng's heir?! You think everything can be done according to your wishes..."
"The position of heir is what you want," Cheng Yue interrupted her calmly, "I just keep fulfilling your wish."
"……what are you saying!"
"Mom, I just want to ask you a question," Cheng Yue said, "He has been hurting you and me, even Liang Xining and Liang Kai, but... why do we have to rack our brains to please a scumbag? ?!"
"...to curry favor with him?" The person on the phone took a deep breath, "Do you think what I did was to curry favor with him? We all deserved it! Why should we take advantage of that mistress and her child! I don't understand , these things are clearly available at your fingertips, but why are you always unwilling to fight for..."
She became hysterical again, and Cheng Yue knew that this conversation could only end in this way.
Cheng Yue also felt a huge sense of powerlessness, as if he was bound by the silk screen of fate and couldn't move.
Cheng Yue quickly found a reason to hang up the phone, and recovered in Bai Xiao's room for a long time.
"Happiness" and "happiness" are vulgar but extravagant wishes.
Just like myself, who grew up amidst such intrigues, grievances and grievances, I don't know if I still have the qualifications to embrace happiness.
But he wants to try, not to continue the influence of the previous generation on him, he wants the little sapling to grow up happily.I also hope that I can at least take a step, try to let go, try to become a better person, and become a big tree that can shelter small saplings from wind and rain.
But he might...need a little strength.
When Cheng Yue re-entered the living room, Bai Xiao was holding the chopsticks in a daze, watching him come out, and immediately put down the chopsticks.
Cheng Yue's expression was exhausted, but it was not depressed. Bai Xiao wanted to hug him very much at the moment, but she was afraid that Cheng Yue would reject him, and wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start. After all... Cheng Yue probably I don't want to let myself know too much about my secrets.
In the end, he had no choice but to pretend to be relaxed and said: "... I seem to... know too much?"
Cheng Yue picked up a chopstick of hot and sour potato shreds and put them in his mouth, feeling a little comfort in his restless heart.
He glanced at Bai Xiao: "You are very self-aware, you should commit suicide and apologize."
"... Is there a second way to choose?"
"..." The chopsticks in Cheng Yue's hand paused, and said, "...of course."
Cheng Yue took a sip of porridge and felt that he was taking a huge adventure, "Become one of our own."
"...???!!!"
stunned!Didn't you say this sentence a few days ago?What happened in just one phone call!
Bai Xiao's heart was pounding: Didn't I just start taking the initiative?Why, how, why, the child's father suddenly became enlightened?
Cheng Yue was also nervous at the moment, he wasn't sure what consequences his impulsiveness would bring.
"You...you mean..."
Cheng Yue's expression suddenly became cold, and the original joke turned into a business-like tone, he said: "If you want to be by my side, there is only one mode to choose."
"What mode?" Bai Xiao was very interested.
"Bao, Yang." Cheng Yue said word by word, and then watched Bai Xiao's smile disappear little by little.
"You may have a little affection for me now, but this kind of affection will disappear with time." Cheng Yue avoided Bai Xiao's gaze, and said flatly, "I have never believed in love, it will always be love." Things that go bad over time ... and contracts, always get fulfilled."
Cheng Yue showed the momentum on the negotiating table: "Being my lover is actually a very good choice for you. First, I have never had a lover in the past. You are the first and may be the last , I won’t find anyone else during the contract period, you can rest assured about this... Second, you should have had the experience of being squeezed out of auditions many times before, and from now on, you don’t need to worry about this matter Worry. Third, you can develop your career as soon as possible during this period, which is good for you and the future of your children.”
After he finished speaking, he finally had the courage to look into Bai Xiao's eyes again.
Bai Xiao swallowed, and stared at Cheng Yue in disbelief: "You're trying to corrupt me!"
"Yes," Cheng Yue looked into Bai Xiao's eyes, "I'm just corrupting you."
Bai Xiao looked at him quietly without speaking.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Cheng Yue's courage seemed to be exhausted at last, suddenly his eyes flickered away from Bai Xiao's, and he took a deep breath: "...I just..."
"I promise," Bai Xiao interrupted him, "When will the contract be signed?"
Cheng Yue's voice stopped abruptly, he collected himself, and a strange feeling rose in his heart: "Tomorrow, I will ask the secretary to send the contract."
Bai Xiao smiled and said, "Okay."
Until after the meal, Cheng Yue still had a huge sense of unreality, feeling that Cai Cai's self and the scene just now seemed to be a fictional story in his mind-this completely did not conform to the logic of his behavior.
After eating, Bai Xiao peeled the cucumber, squeezed the juice with the lemon, added honey at the end, poured it into a crystal clear glass, and handed it to Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue was a bit repulsed by cucumber juice at first, but after taking it, he took a sip hesitantly, and quickly fell in love with the taste.
Refreshing, with a hint of vegetal aroma, the acidity of the lemon makes the drink more refreshing, sweet but not cloying.
Slowly drinking the drink in his hand, watching Bai Xiao tidy up the dishes and clean the kitchen utensils, Cheng Yue thought happily: From now on... he will be mine for the time being.
He recalled the conversation between the two just now, and thought to himself: Where is it that I am corrupting you, it is obviously you that are corrupting me...
One second he was still spurning his own biological impulse, but the next moment he felt irresistible.
Bai Xiao is so warm that people instinctively want to get closer, so he made such a request impulsively.
He understands that he is selfish - he knows that Bai Xiao has feelings for him, but he is not sure whether he can accept a normal relationship, so he chose such a "safe" way to put his uncontrollable feelings away. Transforming into a controllable contractual relationship is the best form for him.
This was unfair to Bai Xiao, it could even be said to be an insult, but Bai Xiao did not refuse.
Cheng Yue drank his drink, looked at Bai Xiao who was busy in the kitchen, and fell into deep thought.
After Bai Xiao finished her work, she took off her apron and came out. Cheng Yue had already finished drinking the juice, checked the time, and was about to leave.
"Feeling tired? Do you want me to see you?"
"...I'm really not that fragile," Cheng Yue felt that he was always too concerned about himself, "what's more, I have slept for a long time just now."
Bai Xiao smiled and nodded.
The two were silent for two seconds, Cheng Yue was about to leave, when Bai Xiao suddenly said, "Cheng Boss said that I will pay as much as I want, so can I ask for payment for today's meal?"
Cheng Yue was stunned, thought for a while, and nodded: "Yes, you can say."
Bai Xiao raised a finger: "I want a hug."
Cheng Yue instinctively wants to resist - in his memory, he seems to have never hugged anyone, even when he was a child, he rarely hugged anyone.
"This... how can it be called a reward?"
"Remuneration is something that the recipient finds valuable. I think it is, so that's it~"
Cheng Yue hesitated for a few seconds, the roots of his ears gradually turned red, and finally nodded: "...Okay, I can just... give you a hug."
Bai Xiao nodded with a gentle smile. Before Cheng Yue was ready, he pulled Cheng Yue into his arms.
"...!!!"
Cheng Yue's whole body was stiff, and his entire senses seemed to explode.Bai Xiao was much taller than him, and held him tightly in her arms.This embrace is warm and even hot, and the strong and elastic muscles are tightly attached to his chest. Cheng Yue is nervous and wants to break free, but suddenly he hears Bai Xiao's deep voice in his ears: "Go back to me." message, go to bed early."
The warm breath was on the earlobe, and the crisp and itchy feeling made Cheng Yue want to shrink back. He tried his best to keep calm, his Adam's apple moved, and said, "...um."
Bai Xiao finally let go of him, looking as calm as giving an ordinary hug to an ordinary friend.
"I'm leaving... there's no need to send it off." Cheng Yue almost fled in despair.
Bai Xiao wanted to send him downstairs, but seeing his nervousness, she nodded and watched him enter the elevator: "See you tomorrow."
Cheng Yue nodded, and the elevator closed.
Bai Xiao caressed her chest with a racing heart, and couldn't help but smile softly.
Why... so cute?
