    Chapter 66 Chapter 66

    ===========================

    Compared with long paragraphs of text, the table is really clear and concise. There is not a word that Chen Zongqian can’t understand. The only one who can’t understand is Xu Qiaochuan.A body was freezing, all the blood gradually froze, and choked into a lump in his throat, leaving Chen Zongqian speechless.

    When he saw his father coming out of the ward, he glanced at Xu Qiaochuan, who was resting next to him, and then lowered his eyes. He must have clearly seen their intertwined hands. Chen Zongqian didn’t dare to understand what that look meant.

    Xu Qiaochuan held it tightly and couldn’t pull away easily.He knew very well that if they had to separate, people would be awakened and someone would go crazy.That hand was no longer just a hand, it was more like a silver cuff, or a banner that imprisoned his soul, which made his heart break.

    “My younger brother is still the closest to you…” Chen Simin sighed, seeing how ugly his face was. She put her hand on his forehead and felt that Chen Zongqian’s body was very cold, which was completely opposite to his younger brother.After only half a sentence, Chen Simin stopped talking and asked instead, “When will you wake up?”

    If she could lead him to the door, Du Hongwei would be able to see her child at a glance.

    “I just took medicine.” Chen Zongqian shook his head, trying to keep himself together and pretend to be calm.

    Antipyretics work quickly and the body temperature has returned to normal. What about risperidone and quetiapine?After eating for so long, he still doesn’t feel better. When will he really wake up?

    “Go back and rest. I’m here to see my mother.” As a pardon, Chen Simin didn’t say much. He still had to see Du Hongwei’s doctor.

    Xu Qiaochuan felt light sleep and didn’t sleep for too long. When he opened his eyes, he still held his hands.He moved unconsciously and noticed that Chen Zongqian was gently rubbing the back of his hand, inducing drowsiness, but Xu Qiaochuan did not fall asleep again.Before he even said that he had sore shoulders and neck, or even frowned, Chen Zongqian seemed to understand, pulled the person over, reached out and kneaded the back of his neck.

    He half-closed his eyes and clasped his fingers weakly. At first he was not used to losing that kind of touch.

    Chen Zongqian pinched the back of his neck and stroked his hair from the end down naturally. He was not satisfied with the skin touching each other through his clothes.Xu Qiaochuan’s fever went down, but he was still hot, his skin was wet with sweat, and it felt like overly delicate steamed-warm porcelain.

    After massaging for a while, Chen Zongqian opened his collar and inserted half of his hand into his neck, feeling his cervical vertebrae through the flesh.The itch was slight, and Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t help but raise his head. His bones began to move, and the man stopped touching him and held the back of his head with one hand.

    Chen Zongqian asked: “Why are you crying?”

    The water stains on the face were too clear to look like sweat, and there was always no sound when he cried.

    Chen Zongqian didn’t hug him, but rubbed the skin behind his ear with one hand.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t speak, and looked at people in silence. He narrowed his eyes to see people clearly, and then lost focus again after a second.He didn’t want to see something clearly, so he simply made it blurry.

    He replied: “I don’t remember.”

    The hospital corridor was extremely quiet. There were many family members of patients who were obviously hesitant and there was a lot of noise.People’s breathing and footsteps, doors opening and closing, hot water being poured into cups, and heart rate monitors operating, there were so many sounds, but it was completely silent.Chen Zongqian suddenly couldn’t get used to this kind of silence. He felt that at least one thing had changed and it couldn’t be changed.

    “Why did you go to Xie Mingxiao?”

    Chen Zongqian stared at Xu Qiaochuan’s face without missing a beat.Seeing his eyes trembling, I read the name of the person I hadn’t mentioned in fifteen years again, but it still felt difficult to pronounce, even worse than Chen Xingran’s.

    Xu Qiaochuan wanted to pull his hand away, but his wrist was grabbed and he couldn’t pull it away.All the movements can be seen in front of people’s eyes, how the bones move, how the muscles pull, everything is in line with Chen Zongqian’s expectations.The palm of his hand was trembling, and it was Xu Qiaochuan who was trembling all over. The balance he had managed to maintain was once again broken by a name.

    “Let go.” Xu Qiaochuan said, his stomach began to spasm again, the water he just drank poured back up, and there was a sore taste on the tip of his tongue, “Let go!”

    Sure enough, the hand was loosened. Xu Qiaochuan pulled himself back with force, staggered up and ran away. He was eager to leave the place where Chen Zongqian was.

    Chen Zongqian was a few steps away from him and also entered the bathroom.Watch him bend over the sink, vomiting bile and gastric juices until his throat is burning and painful, and nothing more comes out.Xu Qiaochuan turned on the faucet, shook his hands and poured water on them. He rubbed his fingers and wrists sickly, turning his skin and flesh into a miserable red color.

    “Xiaoqiao.” Chen Zongqian kept his distance and returned to the familiar title.

    He followed the sound and looked over, staring at the person with red eyes. His broken throat made him stumble when he spoke: “You said… I am… my younger brother?”

    His hands were turned white by the cold water. Xu Qiaochuan felt very cold and turned off the water again.He tore through his hair with wet hands and kept hitting his head: “No…Chen…”

    He wanted to say Chen Xingran, there is no Chen Xingran in this world.

    But unable to comfort himself, he collapsed again. Why is Xu Qiaochuan’s boyfriend Xie Mingxiao’s brother?

    “Don’t call me… Xiaoran…” Xu Qiaochuan was so stressed that he didn’t hear the title clearly at all. It only took a second to go from hysteria to pleading, “No Xiaoran… okay? Don’t want Xiaoran, okay?”

    “Not good.” Chen Zongqian’s voice was very soft, and the ending sound was very much like a sigh.

    Xu Qiaochuan looked at him blankly, feeling that he was terrifyingly cruel and kept talking.

    “When you were very young, even when you were still in your mother’s belly, we didn’t know what you would be like.” He came over, and Xu Qiaochuan stepped back in horror, but there was not much distance at all. “I don’t know if you are a boy or a girl.”

    His voice was very ethereal. Xu Qiaochuan squinted his eyes, thinking that he could not hear clearly even if he could not see clearly.My back hit the wall hard, it was painful and cold, making me tremble with fear.Xu Qiaochuan raised his head with sweat, and gently held his face with one hand.

    “Mom asked me what name I wanted to call you. Your name cannot be recorded in the family tree. There is no character for generation, unlike when I was born with a character embedded in it. So in the beginning, your name was given by me. You are a little star.”

    “When I grow up another year, you will be born.”

    The blood choked in his throat finally had a chance to spit out, but even those words stung him with blood.Chen Zongqian felt a lot of sadness in his heart, just like Xu Qiaochuan’s endless tears.

    “My mother wrote your name to me and said that my younger brother’s name is Chen Xingran. I like it very much. She and my father also like it. I think you will also like it…even if you can only be called Xie Mingxiao in the household registration book.”

    He held the person in his arms, and his brother cried on his shoulder. He finally heard the cry, heartbreaking as a baby who had just gained a body in the world.Chen Zongqian hugged him tightly, and his younger brother couldn’t push him away even if he struggled. He was so weak that he didn’t know whether he was reborn or reborn this time.

    “You just learned to speak when you were one or two years old. You can’t call me daddy or mommy. The first sound you call is brother. You don’t remember it, but your brother does.”

    Chen Zongqian paused, frowned and took a breath, the person in his arms bit him hard on the shoulder, his sharp cries became muffled, and his teeth bit through the fabric and pierced into the flesh.He didn’t push the person away, but moved his hand up his brother’s spine and pressed on the back of his heart.

    The overly vivid sadness shook Chen Zongqian’s hands, and he was almost suffocated by the emotion.The sedative had long since melted and its effect had expired. His heart was no longer calm and balanced, and was clearly leaning towards the place where Xu Qiaochuan was.

    “When you were a child, you liked to cling to my clothes and cling to your brother. I was childish and had a good reputation, and I was ashamed to call a little crybaby a star, so I called you Xiaoran. Do you remember Xiaoran?”

    Xu Qiaochuan bit his cheeks until his cheeks became sore. He gradually loosened his teeth. His saliva, blood and tears stained his white shirt.He was tired of crying and sobbed softly on Chen Zongqian’s shoulder, his tears still flowing.

    The elder brother said: “I can’t let Xiaoran go, and neither can you, you know?”
