To rely on others is to promise each other

Chapter 45 Talent

Jiang Yubai put his arms around his waist, looked at his collar, could vaguely see the swelling through the gap, tilted his head and said to him softly, "Button it fast."

Pei Shanqing was puzzled. He searched for it, and his hair exploded in an instant. He raised his hand and covered it tightly to prevent him from looking, and muttered, "Does it belong to a dog? Biting so hard?"

Jiang Yubai chuckled, pointed to the tooth marks on his collarbone, and asked, "Didn't you bite too?"

While talking, the two had already reached the stairwell, and seeing no one around, Jiang Yubai simply walked down one more step quickly, stood in front of him, and raised his hand to button him.

Two slender and fair fingers pinched the collar of the collar, and pushed the button into the gap with his thumb again. Jiang Yubai looked at the blushing Pei Shanqing, and calmly kissed the tip of his nose, "Let's go."

The sound of gentle footsteps echoed, and the dark brown hair was warm under the sunshine of the early winter, flying up from time to time as he moved downstairs, Pei Shanqing's breathing was stagnant, and he hooked his hand in a mysterious way.

Jiang Yubai's back swayed, and at the same time he stepped down the last step, turned around and interlocked his fingers naturally.

"There is no hand to open the door." Jiang Yubai shook his injured hand, "Brother, open it for me."

Pei Shanqing held his hand tightly, pursed his lips and opened the door, the blood draw place was not difficult to find, probably because it was almost noon and there was no need to queue up.

Jiang Yubai sat on the small swivel chair, handed his arm to the nurse in the window, turned his head and said to Pei Shanqing, "Family, please come and help me blindfold."

Pei Shanqing chuckled, and stuck up to him from behind, wrapping his arms around his neck and blocking his sight with the other. The nurse preparing the needle also smiled, and said, "Take a tube and check the blood routine, it will be very soon."

Jiang Yubai seemed very nervous, pursed his lips and gave a small hum, Pei Shanqing saw this and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous."

The nurse quickly stuck the needle in, and the dark red blood quickly filled the tube. Pei Shanqing held the cotton swab for Jiang Yubai, and walked towards the elevator next to him with his half arms around him.

"Does it hurt?" Pei Shanqing saw that he didn't speak, and deliberately teased him, "It's a small needle, it shouldn't hurt much."

Jiang Yubai said: "I don't like injections. When I was a child, it was hard to find blood vessels for IV drips. I had them pierced several times, but in the end I still got the instep. I cried until everyone in the IV room was looking at me."

Although Pei Shanqing was not at the scene, he could probably imagine the scene, and the mood of teasing him disappeared suddenly, and asked: "Is there no one beside you at that time?"

"My mother was on a business trip at the time, and only my father was there." Jiang Yubai was quiet for a while, then chuckled and said, "Do you remember? He belongs to the kind of strict father in the traditional sense, who thinks that men don't cry lightly." , even a child should not cry."

Pei Shanqing vaguely remembered being told by Father Jiang several times when he went to coax Jiang Yubai by himself, but at that time he was not afraid of anything, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

"The more I cried, the more he scolded me, and I fell into a vicious circle."

Pei Shanqing frowned, and said, "I thought you were crying so much because your uncle and aunt got used to it when you were young."

Jiang Yubai seemed to have heard some great joke, and after laughing for a while, he said: "In the past, my family's education system may be called strict and benevolent, but after I went to elementary school, my mother was also persuaded by my father Now, let’s start to cultivate my independence of personality.”

The elevator door opened with a ding-dong, and there was no one inside. Pei Shanqing grabbed Jiang Yubai's arm and walked in, dully understanding that Jiang Yubai was trying to use his experience to give him an example. Even without him, his character would become what he is now. Although in Pei Shanqing's view, this explanation did not reduce the guilt in his heart.

"Although I love them very much and agree with this kind of education, I have to say that it is a little too radical." Jiang Yubai said, "After all, not every child can adapt to life abroad, and they are not psychologically perfect at all. Relying on my parents. I can only say that I don’t have this talent.”

Pei Shanqing recalled the past that he had heard Sera recount when he was abroad, and pressed his fingers on the cotton swab slightly, fearing that he would be upset if he said something wrong, so he kept silent.

"In the beginning, I would just write you a letter to ease my mood, until one day my dad saw it and jokingly commented: This is useless work. If you have this time, you might as well copy the text and do a few more questions."

Six or seven-year-old Xiao Jiang Yubai held back tears and carefully put the envelope into the secret mailbox, imagining that the only brother who loved him could cross the ocean to comfort him.

"In foreign schools, there is also a chain of racial discrimination. Unfortunately, I belong to the bottom of the class. They are so busy with work that they can't go to school when they are called by their parents. They all agree that I should learn to deal with it by myself."

When Jiang Yubai made a statement, his expression was indifferent, as if it had been a long time since he was bullied in a country where he could not speak the language, but Pei Shanqing knew that this was Jiang Yubai's heart disease, and it was a scar carved on his body since he was a child.

"I think they love me, there is no doubt about it, but I don't understand why emotions are so trivial in their eyes."

Jiang Yubai turned his head, smiled at him, and asked: "So I didn't like what they wanted. Even if I learned to fight back, I would cry at home as if I was being bullied. I hope that one day they will realize, My emotions are also a part of being taken seriously.”

The needle eye was no longer bleeding, Pei Shanqing threw away the cotton swab, but it felt like a stick in his throat.Under the orange afternoon sun, in the promenade with people coming and going, they interlocked their fingers openly with him.

"Brother, thank you." Jiang Yubai didn't need him to say anything comforting, he just wanted to say: "Thank you for always paying attention to my emotions and willing to accept my tears."

After he finished speaking in one breath, he realized that his words were really nasty. He blushed a little ashamedly, and jokingly said, "The whole family, you are the only one who dotes on the children."

Pei Shanqing was amused by him, and led him out of the corridor to the nearby supermarket to buy ointment. When he was checking out, he caught a glimpse of the truth stick next to him, and took a strawberry flavored one.

At this time, Jiang Yubai's eyes were wandering around the shelves on the other side, still wondering why the supermarket next to the hospital didn't sell byts, and he didn't even look at what Pei Shanqing bought.

"What are you looking at? Let's go." Pei Shanqing glanced at the phone, tugged at his arm and said, "Just now my dad sent me a message saying that the hospital called you for a checkup."

The yellow waste in Jiang Yubai's mind had the upper hand for a moment, and before he could recover, something sweet was stuffed into his mouth, and his hand was held again.

After Pei Shanqing succeeded, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he corrected his statement solemnly: "Little Jiang Yubai, I can't say that I dote on you."

Jiang Yubai stared at him, the strawberry-flavored hard candy melted on his tongue coating, releasing a burst of sweet breath, they got a little closer, so close that the transparent fluff on the bridge of the nose could be seen clearly.

"Doting is what the elders do to the younger generation. I should call it doting on you."

Jiang Yubai unconsciously bit the plastic stick of the lollipop, and asked inarticulately, "My family, why did you suddenly buy me candy?"

Pei Shanqing threw away the wrapping paper, took his hand again and walked to the ward. He saw that Jiang Yubai was in good condition, and even spoke in a lighter tone.

"Well, this is a reward for your obedient injection just now, how about it? Do you still like it?"

"like."

It seems that sweets can indeed make people feel happy. Jiang Yubai bit the lollipop, the corners of his mouth raised, and he was in good condition until he went to the doctor.

Pei Shanqing looked mature and stable on the surface, but he was in a very complicated mood when he actually sent Jiang Yubai into the consultation room.

In just ten minutes, Pei Shanqing made many assumptions, and listed solutions for each situation one by one, even thinking about the situation of going bankrupt and treating Jiang Yubai.

He thought, this time, no matter what, he shouldn't be left behind.

When Jiang Yubai came out, he didn't see anything unusual, but he looked sleepy, and it took him a while to come out, and Pei Yi hadn't come to deliver his lunch yet, so Pei Shanqing decided to send him back to sleep first.

Jiang Yubai seemed to be aware of his worry. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently grabbed Pei Shanqing's collar, pulled him to his side, and looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

Pei Shanqing knew what he wanted, but deliberately disobeyed his wishes, folded his arms and said, "Kid Jiang Yubai, you should sleep for a while."

Jiang Yubai leaned forward, hugged his waist slowly, put his face on the back of his hand, and said softly: "Then, this family member who loves me, won't you consider giving me a kiss before going to bed?"

The feeling of heart palpitations swept over again, Pei Shanqing stared at those clear eyes, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and once again fell into the eyes when he first saw him.

He lowered his head and placed a light kiss on his forehead: "Well, baby, can you sleep now?"

Jiang Yubai vaguely thought that there was something different about Pei Shanqing, his heart beat abnormally fast when he teased him, and he was still in a daze when he was half hugged and pressed into the quilt.

In fact, the time interval between Jiang Yubai lying down and falling asleep was not long, probably because Pei Shanqing was holding his hand all the time, and the pain in the wound was relieved a lot.

Pei Shanqing slowly pulled out his hand, tucked in the quilt for Jiang Yubai, and tiptoed out to find the attending doctor.

"Doctor He, hello, I want to ask if the result is out?"

This psychiatrist, Dr. He, looked quite young. He was watching Jiang Yubai's film, and when he saw him coming, he pointed to the swivel chair opposite: "Jiang Yubai's family, right? Come out, you sit first."

"Okay, thank you."

Pei Shanqing sat down and stared at Dr. He's expression without blinking, as if trying to judge Jiang Yubai's situation through this.

Dr. He took his eyes off the film after a while, took a pen and scribbled some incomprehensible characters on the medical record, "I remember that it wasn't you who accompanied me here yesterday, are you his family?"

Pei Shanqing said: "It was my father who came yesterday, and I am his... elder brother."

"You two don't look much alike." Dr. He glanced up at him, said something jokingly, and then got down to business: "His blood routine is normal, and the wound didn't hurt the ligament. Now judging from the film, he The nervous system is also fine."

General Pei Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and Dr. He asked again: "Before he cut his wrist, did he have hallucinations of hearing and vision?"

"Yes, it was about two weeks before the wrist was cut." Pei Shanqing asked Pei Yi in advance, and answered politely: "I did it at school, but I didn't at home."

"Well, will he be more relaxed at home? He usually has a good relationship with you? Or does he have pets?"

Pei Shanqing thought for a while and said: "It's better to be at home, after all, he has no hallucinations. He has an average relationship with my dad, and a better relationship with me. He has a kitten at home."

"Then do you know what's not going well with him recently?" Dr. He asked, "Such as failure in exams, lovelorn, quarrel with parents and similar situations."

Pei Shanqing coughed lightly, feeling a little hard to say: "...It's a broken relationship, my family doesn't agree with this relationship, and the other party went abroad halfway."

"Oh... that's understandable. This is very common. I still suspect it's depression. I'll observe it further during the hospitalization." Dr. He paused, and asked solemnly, "Then his foreign girlfriend is now Do you know about this?"

Pei Shanqing, who is the girlfriend himself: "Uh... I know."

"My suggestion is that it is best not to let them meet before stabilizing his emotions."

"Ah? Why?" Pei Shanqing didn't quite understand.

"Because he is afraid of stimulating his emotions, he has not removed the sutures now. If he can't think about it for a while and starts to make trouble, the wound will be very troublesome." Dr. He explained, "I usually take him out for a walk more, to relax and so on. If he is emotionally stable, he will be discharged from the hospital in about half a month."

"...Okay, thank you doctor."

Pei Shanqing returned to the ward in a daze, looked at Jiang Yubai's sleeping face and sighed a little, hearing Dr. He's advice.

As Pei Yi said, he will not regret what he has done, but he is afraid that his existence will hurt Jiang Yubai again.

Pei Shanqing closed his eyes, lowered his head and lay beside Jiang Yubai's bed, trying to control himself not to think too much.

Just as he was struggling, there was a warm touch on his neck, followed by Jiang Yubai's slightly hoarse voice: "Brother, you are back, what did the doctor say?"
