ASSHKHME Chapter 110

Chapter 110: This is a Hospital Room

Xie Yu spent a week consulting dictionaries, putting in more effort than he did for the college entrance exams, burying his head with Chen Zhuo to come up with names. There were at least eighty, maybe a hundred. After picking and choosing, they finally settled on a name for their daughter.

Xie Youning, taken from the Book of Songs, “Jun zi you ning.” (A gentleman is willing to be)

As the name suggests, it was intended to wish their daughter a lifetime of peace, freedom, and happiness.

As her older brother, he would wholeheartedly safeguard this beautiful wish and protect his sister so she could live a smooth and safe life.

Cheng Tangyu and Xie Liangjun were very satisfied with this name.

Xie Yu had been very busy lately, living a simple life, constantly traveling between school, the First People’s Hospital, and the Third People’s Hospital.

After class, he would first go to the First Hospital to visit his mother and sister.

His sister had already been moved out of the neonatal intensive care unit. She could eat and sleep well, and all her vital signs were normal. No longer wrinkled, she was now chubby, looking very much like Xie Yu when he was a child.

The only difference was that Xie Yu cried loudly as a child, annoying everyone so much that they wanted to put on earplugs.

Little Youning, on the other hand, would cry softly with a pout, making everyone’s heart ache at even a single tear.

Leaving the First Hospital, Xie Yu would go straight back to the Third Hospital to sleep…

Ah no, to take care of Chen Zhuo.

During his hospitalization, Chen Zhuo received news that his application for the international exchange program had been approved.

But strangely, this batch of students was completely different from previous years.

Not only was the departure time changed from the third year to the second year of university, but the duration was also extended from one year to two years.

This meant that he would have to travel to the other side of the ocean this July and be separated from Xie Yu for two years.

Chen Zhuo immediately called the counselor to ask for the reason, but the counselor was also unclear about the specific situation, only saying that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that he should cherish it.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhuo looked at Xie Yu, who was trying hard to appear mature but still couldn’t control his bristling hair, and carefully tugged at his clothes, “Are you angry?”

Xie Yu crossed his arms and snorted angrily, “Didn’t we agree on one year? How did it suddenly become two years? And you have to leave this year?”

Chen Zhuo snuggled up to hug him, “Maybe it’s a pie falling from the sky? Not only is the tuition waived, but there’s also a scholarship, which can basically cover my daily necessities.”

Xie Yu said unhappily, “Are you happy to be separated from me? Are you just after the money? Am I shorting you on money?”

As soon as he said that, he realized he had said the wrong thing, and grabbed Chen Zhuo’s wrist as he tried to let go, explaining, “Baby, I misspoke, I didn’t mean that, don’t be angry.”

Chen Zhuo pulled his arm away, picked up the warm water on the table, and swallowed today’s medicine, the bitter taste spreading in his mouth.

He was an orphan, so he cherished every family connection even more.

Chen Zhuo was actually very concerned about Xie Yu’s parents’ attitude. He didn’t want to ruin Xie Yu’s harmonious family atmosphere, and he wanted to gain their approval.

But there was nothing he could do. All he could do now was constantly improve himself, at least so people wouldn’t think he was after Xie Yu’s money.

He asked, “Xie Yu, am I some kind of pet you keep? Do I have to rely on you to live? Your parents already disagree and don’t approve of us, and if I depend on you, then I…”

Before Chen Zhuo could finish speaking, Xie Yu cupped Chen Zhuo’s face, lowered his head and blocked the rest of his words, kissing him until his face and ears were red, before he aggrievedly admitted his mistake.

“I already said I misspoke, don’t be angry, you know I’m bad with words, I really didn’t mean anything else, I just think my money is your money…”

Chen Zhuo had no temper left after being kissed, and said helplessly, “Is that your money? That’s your parents’ money. You’re their son, so it’s only natural to spend their money. Who am I?”

Xie Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t say anything. He lowered his head dejectedly, and said sullenly, “You’re right, without my parents, I’m nothing.”

He hugged Chen Zhuo’s waist, buried his head in his neck like a puppy, “When will I be mature enough to be your support?”

Chen Zhuo rubbed his fluffy head, tilted his head to kiss his ear, and chuckled, “How old are you? You’re already doing great.”

“I will work hard,” Xie Yu poked his head out of his arms, and said seriously, “I will work hard to become your support, and I will give you all the money I earn in the future! All of it!”

Chen Zhuo lay back on the bed, put his legs on Xie Yu’s shoulders, kicked him twice, not too hard, and said leisurely, “Okay, do what you say, you can’t hide any private money when the time comes.”

The loose pajama pants slipped down, revealing a section of his calf. Xie Yu grabbed it, lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Zhuo with his disheveled collar, his eyes heating up.

Young boys of nineteen years old couldn’t resist the slightest bit of teasing.

Things had been chaotic lately, and the two hadn’t done it in a long time.

Chen Zhuo originally had no distractions, but after being stared at by Xie Yu like this, he also wanted to a little.

But he hadn’t forgotten where he and Xie Yu were now.

Chen Zhuo cautiously looked at the ward door, lowered his voice and warned, “Behave yourself, this is a hospital! This is a hospital room! I’m a patient! Put away your wild ambitions.”

Xie Yu supported himself on one hand next to Chen Zhuo’s ear, his fingers ambiguously brushed aside the broken hair on his forehead, hooking and twirling the curly ends.

He asked in a low voice, “The doctor said your mental state has been very stable recently, and you can be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of observation. Is it just me who wants it? Don’t you want it?”

Chen Zhuo’s hand was held by Xie Yu, placed on his strong abdominal muscles, and he swallowed.

He sternly refused, “Xie Yu, don’t mess around, this is a hospital, not a hotel, and the doctor will come to check on us.”

Even as he said that, his hand was not honest, pinching and rubbing here and there. He really liked Xie Yu’s body.

Xie Yu laughed, directly picked him up horizontally, and said like a hooligan, “I’m just messing around, try not to scream later.”

The VIP ward had a private bathroom with a single bathtub.

Click, the door was locked.

Chen Zhuo came down from Xie Yu’s arms, stepped on the white ceramic floor barefoot, and playfully drenched him with the shower.

Seeing the thin T-shirt clinging to the undulations of his muscles, Chen Zhuo whistled and raised his eyebrows, “Good scenery.”

Xie Yu laughed and called him a pervert, casually stroked his hair back, snatched the shower from Chen Zhuo’s hand, and pinned him against the smooth wall to kiss him.

The mirror of the washstand was fogged up, steaming with heat.

Xie Yu was young and inevitably reckless, but fortunately, Chen Zhuo, as his older brother by two months, could always accept him gently.

The young men learned to love and be loved as they stumbled along the way.

The oath of a lifetime was very long, cherish every minute and every second.

The ward door was pushed open from the outside, and several different footsteps were heard.

The doctor looked at the lifted quilt, looked around the empty room, and asked in confusion, “Where did the patient go?”

An intern answered, “Did they go for a walk in the yard? I’ll call and ask.”

Immediately afterwards, the phone rang.

Chen Zhuo nervously turned his head to look at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu “hissed” and covered his mouth, whispering, “Shh–”

Intern: “Hey? Mr. Chen didn’t take his phone.”

Attending doctor: “Forget it, let’s go to another ward first, and come back later.”
