Chapter 9 For You, I Can 2
After saying "thank you" for the millionth time, I was finally freed from the encirclement.
"Ruanruan, I want an autograph too!" I walked to the bar and got a drink, and Guan Qiao immediately came to my side.
"Hateful!" I raised the cup in my hand and tapped her forehead gently.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Lin Tong took the microphone and walked onto the stage. "Now I want to loudly announce something to the world!"
Just as everyone was gradually quieting down, countless rose petals suddenly fell from the ceiling. On the background board behind Lin Tong, a big heart shape was inlaid with pink and white roses, and the letters Y and W made of rhinestones were surrounded in the circle.
Isn't this the abbreviation of my name?
Just as I was staring at the stage in a daze, a beam of light suddenly hit me, making me dizzy. In an instant, I was pulled by a huge force, staggered, and walked out of the circle of light.
I looked at Zeng Chen in confusion as he pulled me away. He had a sullen face and was silently holding my wrist as he walked through the crowd.
What is Zeng Chen trying to do? Is he going to play hide-and-seek with me under the spotlight?
"Huh? Where's Yuan Wan?" Lin Tong on the stage made a depressed voice.
Zeng Chen took me to the sound control desk, picked up another microphone, and said loudly: "I declare that today's celebration party officially begins!"
After that, he played some music. Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene became heated, and everyone cheered, screamed, and swayed to the music.
Taking advantage of the noise at the scene, Zeng Chen pulled me out of the tavern. I was about to ask him why he did this when my cell phone suddenly vibrated.
I took out my cell phone and it was Xiao Nuo's attending physician calling me.
"Yuan Wan, I have good news for you!" The doctor's voice sounded excited. "Didn't your friend Zeng Chen undergo a bone marrow matching test last time? The test results came out today, and his bone marrow is 99% compatible with Xiao Nuo's. This means Xiao Nuo can undergo a bone marrow transplant."
"Great!" I hung up the phone and excitedly grabbed Zeng Chen's arm, "Zeng Chen, you are really my lucky star!"
I couldn't wait to tell Zeng Chen what the doctor said, and he was even happier than I was. He immediately took me to a taxi to the hospital.
"Xiao Nuo!" I pushed open the door of the ward, rushed to Xiao Nuo and gave him a big hug. "Do you know? The doctor has found a bone marrow suitable for you! After the operation, you will be healthy again!"
"That's great!" Xiao Nuo cheered, "Sis, today is a double blessing. I just watched TV and saw you win the championship."
"Yes, yes, we are rich! Hahaha..." I held Xiao Nuo's hand and jumped around with him.
"By the way, sister, come here." Xiao Nuo hooked her finger at me, "I have a gift for you."
I moved closer out of curiosity, and saw him take out an exquisite necklace from under the pillow. On the silver chain hung an oval emerald, crystal clear, and although the edges were a little worn, it still looked like the purest water drop, full and full of vitality.
"This is the necklace my parents left me. Although I don't remember them very well, I never feel like they left me because of this necklace." Xiao Nuo unfastened the clasp and tied the necklace around my neck. "Now I give it to you. You have to be like it and stay with me forever."
"Yeah." Xiao Nuo's words touched my heart.
"This necklace..."
Zeng Chen, who had been standing behind me, suddenly came over. He stared at the emerald pendant on my neck, and for some reason, his eyes became moist.
He raised his hand, stroked the emerald with a slight trembling, then pressed gently, and the pendant suddenly opened, revealing a photo hidden inside - the yellowed photo showed a smiling couple. The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with three-dimensional facial features. There was an indescribable resemblance between his eyebrows and eyes to Zeng Chen and Xiao Nuo, and the woman had the willow-leaf curved eyebrows unique to that era, and her expression was full of elegance.
"Brother Zeng Chen, how did you know that my necklace can be opened?" Xiao Nuo's eyes widened in surprise, "I didn't even realize it myself!"
"Xiao Nuo, the people in the photo are our parents." Zeng Chen turned to face Xiao Nuo and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I...our parents?" Xiao Nuo was stunned.
"Xiao Nuo, actually you are the brother I have been looking for."
Zeng Chen took off a chain hidden under his clothes from around his neck. It was exactly the same one Xiao Nuo gave me. His voice trembled a little, with uncontrollable excitement.
My eyes widened and I gasped.
Xiao Nuo is Zeng Chen's younger brother? How is this possible?
He turned to me, with a hint of guilt in his beautiful eyes, and said, "Yuan Wan, actually the second-hand piano your mother bought for you was originally ours. The English letters engraved on the piano are actually the abbreviations of my parents' surnames. It was a specially customized gift for them when they got married."
"Oh my God..." I was dumbfounded.
No wonder Zeng Chen showed great interest in my piano during my first live broadcast.
His eyes stayed on Xiao Nuo's face and he said, "Ten years ago, during the great earthquake in Qingtong City, my parents protected my brother and me tightly under their bodies when the house collapsed. That's how we escaped the disaster."
"Even though I had my parents' protection, I was still hit by a brick and passed out. I was holding my brother's hand tightly, but when I woke up, I found myself lying alone in the hospital."
"Later I learned that my parents had passed away and my brother was missing. I was sent to an orphanage and adopted by a Chinese Canadian couple. I left Qingtong City."
"When I was abroad, I also tried to ask people in China to find my brother, but there was no news about him. Many people told me that my brother might have died with my parents 10 years ago, but I didn't want to believe it. So, after my adoptive parents also passed away, I decided to return to Qingtong City to inquire about my brother in person."
"Ten years later, I still sometimes wake up from nightmares about earthquakes, but every time I dream, I clearly feel that my brother is fine. This is probably the telepathy between us brothers."
Zeng Chen's eyes were red and his breathing became heavy.
“Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…” Xiao Nuo cried and threw herself into Zeng Chen’s arms. I could clearly see the tears in Zeng Chen’s eyes.
"Brother, I missed you so much, I thought I would never see you again!"
Xiao Nuo's crying made my heart ache. Seeing him cry, I couldn't help but shed tears. Over the years, I understand that although Xiao Nuo is very happy in my home, he never forgets his real relatives.
My tears at this moment were not because of sadness. Seeing the brothers recognizing each other, a warm feeling surged in my heart.
"It's my fault that I found you only now." Zeng Chen gently stroked his back, "I promise you that from this second on, I will never leave you. From now on, you have one more relative, and my home is also your home."
"Yeah!" Xiao Nuo cried and laughed. After he let go of Zeng Chen's hands, he hugged me tightly, "Sister! That's great, I found my brother!"
"Well, that's great. Xiao Nuo can finally go home." I raised the back of my hand, wiped my tear-soaked cheeks roughly, and forced a smile.
Zeng Chen turned around and faced me. He seemed to have a lot of feelings to tell me. He held my face with both hands, gently wiped away my tears with his fingertips, and gently embraced both of us, including Xiao Nuo.
"Thank you for taking care of Xiao Nuo over the years."
His voice came to my ears, a little hoarse, but with an indescribable charm. The warm body temperature came from him, and my heart seemed to have overturned a honey pot, sweet and full of happiness.
