Chew Slowly Chapter 67

===========================
Pneumonia is very damaging to one’s vitality, not to mention that Du Hongwei still has a fundamental tumor in his body.The disease tortured her to the point where her bones were broken and she had a lonely hand under her sleeve.There was a yellow wristband tied on it. I used to wear an jade bracelet here, and Chen Simin was a little fascinated by it.
The stroking movement was very light, and Chen Simin was always afraid that any unintentional use of gravity would cause her more pain.Even though she was slightly awake, she woke up. The oxygen mask was covered with a layer of white mist. Du Hongwei’s face was blurred and his smile was faint.She hooked her fingers and was held by Chen Simin again.Du Hongwei didn’t speak, his eyelids were half-covered, and he was about to fall asleep. The only sound in the ward was the sound of various medical instruments.
She thought for a long time before finally speaking: “Brother Min… I want to go home.”
Chen Simin saw that the curve representing her heart rate was beating in twists and turns. It had a small peak when she expressed her wish, but it soon became calmer and calmer.
“The doctor said we need to observe her for a while and wait, okay?” Chen Simin saw her closing her eyes and thought she was going to sleep again, but she quickly opened her eyes again.
“Xiaoran…Xiaoran is sad.” What she felt, she didn’t know if it was a dream, the heartbreaking cry of the child rang in her ears, which almost broke her heart.
Chen Simin was a little silent, not knowing how to describe it to Du Hongwei.She was too ill and weighed down by longing.Chen Zongqian only told her that his brother was in a bad mood and was unhappy a lot, but he did not tell her that Xiaoran seemed to have turned into a madman.
Fifteen years of hard searching finally yielded results, which should be a happy thing. However, Chen Simin found that the tragedy had not changed, but continued in another abnormal shape.
While driving to Guantang Village, Beiguan Town, he had countless imaginations about what it would be like to actually see the child, but none of them really fit the reality.Chen Simin even hesitated for a moment. Is that child really his younger brother? Is he really Xiaoran?
Chen Zongqian said yes, he had done two paternity tests alone.One time, Xu Qiaochuan’s blood sample was obtained in the name of a physical examination, and the other time was when he was hospitalized for recuperation after he fell from a building and had a re-examination.The results were the same both times, in black and white, with the red seal of the appraisal center.Chen Zongqian personally sent the paper appraisal report to Du Hongwei. Chen Simin, who was far across the ocean, also received the email as soon as possible.
That’s the younger brother.
He doesn’t like being touched, doesn’t like being questioned, and he doesn’t like being treated like Chen Xingran… Chen Zongqian told him everything he couldn’t tell his mother.Despite countless warnings, Chen Zongqian forgot the most important taboo – Xiaoran didn’t like his brother.
“What brother?” Xu Qiaochuan asked Chen Simin with a dull face, as if he didn’t understand at all.His face was already pale, but because of this question, the blood under his skin disappeared even more completely, turning into a dazzling red around his mouth and nose.He wiped it away and was not surprised that he was bleeding.Xu Qiaochuan let out a breath and smiled a little nervously in the cold winter morning, “Isn’t he your boyfriend?”
Xu Qiaochuan strongly rejected that title, saying that Chen Zongqian was not his elder brother.But not brother, what is that?
“Holding hands, kissing and making love, what could it be that does these things.”
“Really?” Chen Simin saw that he was about to collapse again, and remembered not to press too many questions to avoid causing mental stress, so she suppressed one more question, but Xu Qiaochuan did not answer.
He didn’t speak, but his crazy will did not restrain, and he might collapse again at any time. Only at that moment did Chen Simin truly understand what his brother was afraid of.
Du Hongwei waited in a daze. She didn’t want to sleep, so she nodded her fingers.She was sure that she heard Xiaoran’s cry, which was exactly the same as when she was born.Those must be tears falling from frowning faces, and they must be filled with fear.
After a long time, Chen Simin replied that her brother had taken Xiaoran back.
Brother, Du Hong smiled, and Chen Simin suddenly saw a flickering light, which quickly disappeared.She always thinks about Xiaoran, and often regrets that she brought the child into the world but failed to raise it properly.
Chen Simin was also sad when he thought of Xiaoran’s appearance today, but he didn’t have the best choice at the beginning.They already had Chen Zongqian, and the sudden arrival of this child was surprising and terrifying.Du Hongwei’s health has always been poor. She often had high fever in early pregnancy. The doctor did not recommend her to have an abortion in this state.The days drag on until the fetus takes shape and becomes difficult to part with.
Unlike the worried Chen Simin, Du Hongwei did not regard the child as a burden and called him a “sudden treasure.”At that time, Chen Zongqian was following Du Hongwei, looking forward to the baby in his mother’s belly, a baby like the stars.
Xiao Ran was born, and after weaning at the age of two, she was fostered into the Xie family.In order to avoid suspicion, she rarely went to Xie’s house to see the child, even though the two families were only one street apart.
“Before, I couldn’t go see him, so I asked my brother to go.” Du Hongwei thought of the past and remembered that he would put two candies in Chen Zongqian’s pocket, but later only one.Because my elder brother doesn’t like sweets, he is afraid of eating sweets and damaging his teeth. “He always kisses his elder brother. I thought that my elder brother would take him with him and we would still be a family.”
“We are just one family.” Chen Simin held Du Hongwei’s hands and said in a deep voice.No one replied. He saw that Du Hong had a tired look on his eyebrows and had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Chen Simin leaned on the bed exhausted, wondering why they were like this when they were obviously a family.
How could it be a boyfriend?He thought it was funny at first. His brother did love Xiaoran, but how could they fall in love?Xiaoran is not sensible, and my brother should be sensible.
Xiaoran’s words don’t count, Chen Simin thought.
He was seriously ill. Many times he didn’t know what he was thinking, saying, or doing. He was not awake at all at that time.Even the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that anyone who is physically or mentally deficient or who is young, unable to distinguish right from wrong, or unable to express himself correctly cannot serve as a witness.Chen Simin has countless reasons to explain that sentence is just crazy talk and cannot be taken seriously.
The lubricating oil and condoms placed in the glove box of the car were not genuine. Maybe it was his brother who stuffed them in casually. Chen Zongqian always knew how to measure. That was his younger brother…
But he heard the name Xu Qiaochuan was so feverish that he lost consciousness and was still mumbling his name. He saw his two children hiding in the back seat, so close that they looked like they were kissing.
He witnessed an over-the-top intimacy and saw Chen Zongqian’s twinkling eyes, which just right confirmed some absurdity.
