Difficult To Raise Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Nursery Rhyme Jiang Ran’s heart has always been a bit uneasy…

Jiang Ran was always feeling uneasy and uneasy. He hesitated for a while and decided to go to Jiang Jin’s school to have a look, fearing that something might happen to him.

While in the car, he sent a few more messages to Jiang Jin.

-Where are you?

-Tell me when you see it.

-Did something happen to you?

There was no reply, and every message fell into disrepair.

The more Jiang Ran thought about it, the more panicked he became. When he ran to the door of Jiang Jin’s school out of breath, he patted his head belatedly. He had no idea which class he was in or which dormitory he lived in. How could he find it?He was so anxious that he had no choice but to call Jiang Jin again.

Fortunately, the phone was answered after a few rings this time. Jiang Ran was a little surprised. Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice came from the other side, “No. 108 Bai’an Road, XX Hospital.”

It turned out to be the address of a hospital.

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask, the other party had already hung up the phone.He didn’t dare to delay, so he immediately hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital the other party mentioned.

On the road, that cold voice echoed repeatedly in his mind, becoming more familiar the more he thought about it. It wasn’t until the car passed the third traffic light that he suddenly remembered, wasn’t this the He Siyu they met at the bar last time?

Jiang Ran secretly cursed, this man really cherished his words like gold and didn’t even have a superfluous explanation.

After rushing to the hospital, Jiang Ran took out his cell phone and wanted to send a message to ask for the ward number, but the other party’s text message came over first.

-Room 131, Department of Internal Medicine.

I followed the signs to find the ward, and when I opened the door, it was so quiet that I could hear the wind outside the window.The room was a bit dark, and through the dim light outside the window, Jiang Ran saw a figure standing by the window.

When He Siyu heard the movement, he just turned his head, glanced at Jiang Ran lightly, and said nothing.

After just a few interactions with him, Jiang Ran figured out a little bit of his personality and took the initiative to say hello: “Hello.”

Then his eyes uncontrollably fell on the man on the hospital bed. His face was obviously pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and the light pink on his lips had faded a lot, making him look particularly fragile.

It was impossible to tell where the injury was. Jiang Ran took a few steps forward and came to Jiang Jin’s bed. He looked at his face with concern, but did not dare to actually touch him.

Jiang Jin has always been arrogant and domineering, and he has not seen such a pale and fragile Jiang Jin for a long time.

Long-standing memories came to mind. On that chaotic night, the image of him rushing to the hospital in a panic with Jiang Jin in his arms seemed to become clear again.

With no way to ask for help, he was panicked, and the fear in his heart spread like a tide. He could hardly control his emotions, and his eyes turned red.

He Siyu turned around and happened to see this scene. He was stunned for a moment, and lowered his voice and said, “He just fell asleep, go out and talk?”

Jiang Ran nodded. He also had many things he wanted to ask clearly.

The two of them left the ward. This was a private hospital with not many patients. The corridors of the hospital seemed empty and silent.The two found a place by the window and listened to the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects outside the window.

“What’s wrong with him?” Jiang Ran’s voice was filled with uncontrollable anxiety, “I heard him coughing when I called him before. Is he sick?”

He Siyu raised his eyes and said without emotion: “He said he fell.”

“What?” Jiang Ran’s voice was louder, “Why did you fall? Where did you fall? Is it serious?”

For an adult, wrestling is a big or small thing. Minor fractures, severe intracranial hemorrhage, and spleen rupture are all possible. The more Jiang Ran thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his expression changed.

“It’s not as serious as you think,” He Siyu clearly understood what he was thinking, and said with rare relief, “It’s just a contusion on the back and a slight concussion.”

When Jiang Ran heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He frowned and said, “How could a good person fall like this?”

“I’m not sure, Jiang Jin refuses to tell,” He Siyu said: “No one can ask about the things he doesn’t want to tell. All they know is that he fell down the stairs at home.”

Having said this, he paused, looked up at Jiang Ran, and said slowly: “Jiang Jin… He doesn’t seem to have a good relationship with his family.”

Jiang Ran’s heart sank suddenly. During the time they reunited, he had been trapped in various complicated emotions, including guilt, concern, rejection, and escape…

I have almost never thought about how Jiang Jin is living in his current home, or whether the relationship between Jiang Yue and him is good or bad.

Perhaps, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but that I have deliberately ignored it.

Because it would remind him and them again and again of all the bad things that had happened.

“He…” Jiang Ran bit his lip, his voice dry, “Does he have a bad relationship with his father?”

“Well,” He Siyu gave him a positive answer, “It’s very bad. We often quarrel.”

If you quarrel, will you fall down the stairs?

Jiang Ran didn’t dare to think deeply. He didn’t even dare to ask any more questions because he was afraid that Jiang Jin would still be unhappy after making such a decision.

He Siyu didn’t ask, and He Siyu wouldn’t take the initiative to say anything. The two of them stayed outside quietly for a while and then returned to the ward.

When he walked in, Jiang Jin was still awake and seemed really tired.Jiang Ran had no intention of leaving, so he stayed by the hospital bed.However, He Siyu saw that Jiang Jin was taken care of, so he said he had to leave first because he had something to do.

Before leaving, he handed Jiang Jin’s cell phone to Jiang Ran and warned, “Don’t let him play with the phone. The doctor said he needs to rest now.”

“Don’t worry.” Jiang Ran put his phone in his pocket and watched him leave.

As soon as He Siyu left, he and Jiang Jin were the only two people left in the ward. The air was so quiet that Jiang Jin’s steady breathing could be heard.

Jiang Ran looked at his sleeping face carefully. He was usually a flamboyant and a bit nasty person. At this moment, he had taken off all guard. His long eyelashes, straight bridge of nose, white lips, and frowning eyebrows even in sleep were as fragile as a glass doll that could break at the touch of a touch.

He didn’t like Jiang Jin like this at all.

Jiang Ran couldn’t help but stretched out his hand, trying to smooth out the wrinkles between Jiang Jin’s eyebrows.

But just as his fingertips touched his eyebrows, a pair of dark eyes suddenly opened.There was a little confusion in those eyes at first, and then there was undisguised surprise.

The heat in Jiang Jin’s eyes was so obvious that Jiang Ran suddenly wanted to take his hand back as if he had been burned, but he grabbed his hand.

“Brother, am I dreaming?” Jiang Jin slowly squeezed her hand between his fingers, and her fingers continued to rub the tender meat between the knuckles.

It was a very intimate, yet somewhat ambiguous gesture.

Jiang Ran’s hands were very beautiful, with slender and white fingers. There was no dullness at the knuckles. There was only a slight mole on the thumb. Jiang Jin rubbed it back and forth until the skin showed a little pink.

Jiang Ran felt uncomfortable in his hold and quickly pulled his hand back, but Jiang Jin’s grip was too tight. He was worried about his body now and did not dare to use too much force, so he could only let him hold it.

This refusal made Jiang Jin laugh softly, “It turns out it wasn’t a dream.”

He said: “In my dream, my brother would never reject me.”

“Shut up!” Jiang Ran really wanted to seal his mouth with tape, but he said angrily: “It’s already like this and you still can’t stop.”

“I’m really fine, nothing happened at all.” Jiang Jin still smiled, smiling as if he remembered something, and asked: “Why are you here? Did the fat guy call you here? This fat guy, I knew he was unreliable.”

“Little Fatty?” Jiang Ran was a little confused.

“It’s He Siyu,” Jiang Jin revealed without hesitation: “Even though he looks like a dog now, he was a chubby little fat guy when he was a kid. Brother, do you still remember? He used to be waiting for me downstairs to go to school with us…”

He was lying on the bed and laughing unbridled. His movements were too big and he accidentally injured his back. An itch spread from his throat. Jiang Jin suddenly coughed violently and his face turned red.

Jiang Ran quickly patted him on the back and said, “Shut up, you can’t calm down for a while.”

Jiang Jin coughed for a while before he recovered. He lay on the bed panting heavily, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face turned a little pale.

Jiang Ran couldn’t help but become worried and kept asking: “What’s wrong? Does it hurt anywhere on your body? I’ll call the doctor to take a look.”

He stood up and was about to ring the call bell on the bedside, but Jiang Jin grabbed his wrist again.Jiang Jin put his hand on his chest and said in a coquettish voice, “No need to call the doctor. Just rub it for me. It won’t hurt anymore.”

Jiang Ran’s hand touched his tight and warm chest, and he could clearly feel the strong heartbeat underneath.He rubbed it gently and doubtfully: “Is this so?”

The corner of Jiang Jin’s mouth curled up slightly, “Be gentler.”

Jiang Ran hesitated and rubbed it a few more times. The more he rubbed it, the more he felt something was wrong. He slapped him on the chest suddenly and gritted his teeth and said, “Are you kidding me?”

With a little force this time, Jiang Jin’s injured back hit the bed board, causing him to gasp in pain and hiss, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, “Brother, you really have to do it.”

Jiang Ran thought he was still pretending, so he deliberately said with a straight face: “If you keep doing this, I’m leaving.”

“Don’t… don’t go.” Jiang Jin’s voice immediately softened, with a hint of begging for mercy, “Brother, I was wrong.”

The pain in his back was hot and severe, and there was a feeling of tightness in his chest. An overwhelming feeling of nausea came to his mind, and Jiang Jin felt like vomiting again.

He slowed down, suppressed the discomfort, and said as if nothing had happened: “I am so happy to see you that I can’t help but tease you.”

Jiang Ran raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the fine cold sweat on his forehead, and realized that he was really in pain.Most of the anger in my heart disappeared in an instant. I wanted to express some concern, but I couldn’t keep my face down, so I could only mutter: “You deserve it.”

After a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but ask: “Is it really uncomfortable? Otherwise, I’d better call the doctor to take a look.”

After saying that, he stood up to go out, but was grabbed by the wrist.

Jiang Jin looked at him and said softly, “Don’t leave.”

“Brother, just stay here, okay?”

Their eyes met, and Jiang Ran was caught off guard and met a pair of pleading eyes. He was startled, and inexplicably felt that Jiang Jin looked like a homeless puppy.

After a while, Jiang Ran sighed and sat back down, “Okay, I won’t leave, I will stay here with you. Just be honest and have a good rest.”

Jiang Jin’s eyes followed him every step of the way, and when he saw him sitting down again, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

He closed his eyes like an obedient child and responded softly: “I’m going to rest.”

She held his hand but wasn’t very honest. Her fingertips slid down and squeezed between his fingers, interlocking with his.

Jiang Ran looked at his slightly trembling eyelashes, feeling funny and soft-hearted at the same time. No matter how hard the ice was, it turned into a puddle of water at this moment.

There is always silence in the ward where no one speaks.During this period, Jiang Ran saw that the water hanging by the bed was gone. He rang the call bell several times and the nurse came in to change the potion. Jiang Jin closed his eyes tightly on the bed and showed no reaction at all.

Jiang Ran knew that he had actually been uncomfortable, because even when he fell asleep, his brows were always furrowed.

Jiang Jin has been like this since he was a child. He always wants to act coquettishly and mischievously when he has nothing to do. Seeing Jiang Ran caring about him makes him feel happy.

But if you really feel uncomfortable, you have to endure it no matter what, and don’t let anyone notice it at all.

Jiang Ran glanced at the hands held by the two of them and sighed softly.

In the middle of the journey, Jiang Jin woke up once.

Maybe he had some bad dream. When he opened his eyes, he was full of panic and struggled unconsciously. He moved too much and almost knocked the needle in his hand.

Jiang Ran quickly stepped forward and pressed him down on the bed, patting his cheek gently, “Xiao Jin, wake up. You see clearly, you are in the hospital now, don’t be afraid.”

After a few more coaxing words in a low voice, Jiang Jin gasped and calmed down. He opened his eyes and said nothing.Jiang Ran took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, pushed the wet hair away bit by bit, and asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”

Jiang Jin looked at him quietly and said in a low voice, “Yeah.”

After a while, he said: “Sing to me, brother.”

Jiang Ran still remembered the last time he said that his singing was out of tune, and he was a little reluctant. Seeing how pitiful he looked, he couldn’t bear to refuse. After thinking about it, he said, “I’ll read you nursery rhymes.”

Anyway, they are just toys for coaxing children, so that’s fine.

Jiang Jin nodded, lying on the hospital bed and looking at him quietly, so well-behaved.

Jiang Ran sat on the edge of the bed, rummaging through his memory for a long time, and finally recalled the coaxing tunes he used to make when he was a child, “Uh… sit in rows, eat fruit, one for you, one for me, one for my sister when she’s asleep, and I’ll share it with my brother when he wakes up…”

Jiang Jin stared at him with dark eyes, and there was a trace of smile in his eyes.

Jiang Ran touched his head and continued: “Big head, big head, don’t worry if it rains, others have umbrellas, you have big head…”

“Shake, shake, shake to Grandma Bridge…”

As he chanted nursery rhymes one after another, Jiang Jin’s consciousness began to drift away, and his thoughts drifted far away, out of the hospital, to the dark basement, and into the nightmare he had just had.

“I’m your father!” Jiang Yue raised his leg and kicked him, “You have to do what I say! Otherwise, what would I do to raise you?”

Jiang Jin got up from the ground silently, but was kicked to the ground again, “You should reflect here carefully, don’t think about it if you don’t admit your mistake!”

Black, endless black, the pain in my legs, everything was fixed on the hand he extended when he had an argument with Jiang Yue the day before.

When Jiang Jin fell down the stairs, he thought he would die.His only thought at that time was what would Jiang Ran do if he died.

He will definitely be sad, maybe cry.

So he endured the severe pain and called the emergency call.

Fortunately, I was lucky and only had a slight concussion.

Jiang Jin half-drowsed and heard Jiang Ran reciting the last sentence, “Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of ducks swam… quack quack quack…”

He laughed, held Jiang Ran’s hand tightly, and said coquettishly, “Brother, I’m hungry.”

Jiang Ran stopped mumbling and breathed a sigh of relief unnoticeably. If he continued, he would almost use up his reserve of essential children’s tunes.

“Then I’ll order takeout?” he said.

“Yeah,” Jiang Jin nodded, “The hospital can deliver meals, just tell them.”

Jiang Ran said hello, took the food delivery card on the table, and dialed the number on it.
