Chapter 72

The two of them went directly to the garage. Not long after the car was driven out, it started to rain outside.

Pei Xin didn't squint his eyes. After Li Wenyu said those words, his face became serious and he said nothing.

The summer rain always comes as soon as it comes, crackling on the car windows, sliding along the wipers, making a thumping sound, the accent is amplified, the surrounding sounds become muffled, and the road is blocked in the hazy place.

Pei Xin's hand holding the steering wheel began to look for cigarettes in the car. Li Wenyu caught a glimpse of the cigarette case in front of the passenger seat and took it over and handed it to him.

The car window was open, and a cold wind blew in. It was still sunny in the morning, but it was already raining heavily. Pei Xin's hand rested on the edge of the car window, and the cigarette was held in his hand. The golden sparks on the cigarette butt slowly burned, and a wisp of blue-white smoke floated out, which quickly dissipated in the wind.

Li Wenyu saw his sleeves slide down, completely revealing the gray-blue mechanical watch. Five years have caused some wear and tear on the complicated pattern on the strap, and even the original luster is no longer there, which makes it look even more out of place with Pei Xin's clothes.

Li Wenyu suddenly remembered Pei Xin five years ago. At that time, his shoulders were not so broad, but very straight. He always wore dark clothes and had a weird temper. He sat in the back seat and got angry at Li Wenyu.

But Pei Xin is now sitting in the driver's seat, his pupils dark and silent.

They finally grew up.

But Li Wenyu was still firmly held in his hand, as if his wings were broken when he was seventeen years old.

Li Wenyu slowly turned his head and rolled down the window.

The sound of rain in my ears became clearer, but the scenery on the street was still blurred by the rain curtain. The rose flowers in the green belt were knocked down by the wind and rain, and the petals were soaked in the muddy water, trembling and floating.

Because of the traffic jam, the journey that originally took ten minutes took half an hour.

However, there was nothing going on in the hospital. Li Wenyu was just worried that grandma would be bored if she stayed alone, so she came over to talk to him.

When Pei Xin and Li Wenyu pushed open the ward door, grandma was sitting on the hospital bed. On the chair beside the bed, Ji He was peeling apples for grandma with a fruit knife. He lowered his head and said, "Grandma, I have been too busy at work recently. It takes so long." I haven’t had time to see you. You don’t blame me, do you?”

“Of course not…” Grandma smiled and shook her head. When she looked up, she saw the door to the ward that had just been opened. Her eyes lit up, “Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei, why are you here together? "

Li Wenyu didn't look at Ji He and responded with a smile: "Well, grandma, have you eaten?"

"Have eaten." Grandma is in particularly good spirits today, "It's raining so hard outside, why do you still come here ? Are you not wet?"

Li Wenyu shook his head and looked at Pei Xin: "No, Pei Xin drove."

"Sit down, little Pei," grandma smiled and raised her hands to Pei Xin, "Last time you came here, grandma didn't talk to you properly. Here."

Pei Xin walked over with a smile and called grandma.

Pei Xin's smile in front of the elders looked very gentle. He doesn't have a very sharp appearance, but he always has a sharp aura about him. Putting aside these things, his facial features are indeed very confusing. It's no wonder that grandma would say that he is so polite.

Grandma looked at him with concern: "Has Xiao Pei been busy lately? He seems to have lost a little weight?"

Pei Xin smiled: "Fortunately, the company is on holiday today. I met Xiao Yu on the road and happened to come over to see him. "You."

Grandma nodded repeatedly. Ji He peeled the apple and handed it to her: "Grandma, eat the apple."

Grandma took it but didn't eat it. She sighed and said, "Don't do it on rainy days in the future." Come here, it’s dangerous to drive. It was raining heavily and there was lightning. It looked scary."

Pei Xin nodded along with these words and said in a very clever tone: "I know, grandma."

The rain has not stopped outside. It was hazy in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and all I could see was a blur of green outside the window.

They sat for a while, and Pei Xin's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at it with no expression on his face: "I'm going out to take a call."

Li Wenyu looked up at him and whispered: "If you have anything, please go first Come on, I'll just take a taxi."

Pei Xin agreed and walked out the door.

The soundproofing effect of the ward is very good. Once the door is closed, no movement outside can be heard.

Ji He saw that grandma hadn't eaten the apple for a long time, so he diligently cut the apple into pieces and put it in a disposable packaging box.

While cutting, Ji He glanced at Li Wenyu from a distance, raised the corners of his lips with a proud provocation on his face, and then handed the cut apple to his grandma: "Grandma, my mother told you two days ago Come on, I encountered something recently..."

"Ji He!"

Li Wenyu knew what he was going to say as soon as he saw his expression, so he interrupted hurriedly.

Ji He grinned, but still said in a confused tone: "What's wrong, cousin?" Li Wenyu looked as usual: "You told me to have dinner with me last night. Have you made a reservation at the restaurant? I just have time." Ji

He said with a smile as usual.

He Wenyan immediately showed a smug smile and nodded: "Of course, of course it's booked."

Grandma held the fruit in her hand and smiled happily: "You two brothers haven't seen each other for many years. It's a good thing to keep in touch."

Ji He immediately said: "Grandma, don't worry, my cousin is good to me. I will definitely thank my cousin."

Grandma patted his hand: "It's good that you have such a heart."

The rain came and went in a hurry, and now it was already It is getting smaller and smaller, and the water stains on the glass windows are showing a tendency to stop.

Li Wenyu left the ward, and Ji He followed him.

There were few people in the single ward on this floor, but it was not completely empty. Li Wenyu continued to move forward and did not stop until the end of the corridor.

Before he could turn around, Ji He's voice had already caught up with him: "I said it would be better if you promised earlier, but it would make me come to the hospital. How troublesome."

Li Wenyu turned around with a cold face: "I didn't I think you are so embarrassed to ask grandma for money."

"What am I embarrassed about?" Ji He stared and smacked his mouth. "It's useless for grandma to keep so much money. She doesn't have Pei Xin to pay for her treatment. No, you don't have to spend a penny."

Li Wenyu's face froze: "Do you know who paid for the medical expenses?"

"Nonsense, who else in our family doesn't know except grandma," Ji He looked impatient, but it seemed that Suddenly something occurred to him and he became curious, "What is your relationship with Pei Xin? He paid for you so generously, how dare you lie to me and say you have no money?"

Li Wenyu couldn't bear to hear this, so he asked directly: "How much do you want?"

When Ji He heard that he could get the money, he stopped worrying about other things and smiled slightly: "Thirty thousand, give it to me and leave immediately."

Li Wenyu frowned and blurted out: "How could I do this? How much is it?" " Why

is thirty thousand too much?" Ji He raised his eyebrows impatiently, "I'm asking you to borrow it, but I'm not asking you to pay it back. I'll pay you back double when I make money."

If so, go in and find grandma, I won't let her give it to you anyway." Hearing his attitude, Li Wenyu became even more reluctant to pay attention to him, so he decisively put down his words and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Ji He gritted his teeth, "Ten thousand, ten thousand is enough? I will definitely pay you back within a month."

Li Wenyu paused and looked back at him: "What on earth are you doing with the money? "

Ji He's face was dark, but his tone was still light and casual: "Didn't I tell you to compensate that stupid family member? Do you really want to see me go to jail? Grandma would be so angry if she knew..."

"Shut up." Li Wen Yu closed his eyes and resisted the urge to get angry, "I can give you the money, so don't bother grandma again in the hospital."

Ji He smiled with satisfaction: "If you had just done this, it would have been over."
