Difficult To Raise Chapter 51
byChapter 51 Don’t cry. Jiang Jin can’t eat much in this situation…
In Jiang Jin’s current situation, he couldn’t eat anything greasy, so he could only eat something light. Jiang Ran thought about it and ordered two portions of porridge, along with a few side dishes that were less oily and less salty, and that was enough.
He had been working hard all day, but he didn’t have much appetite at noon, so he took a few hasty bites. Now he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, so he just ate with Jiang Jin.
The stuff was delivered quite quickly, it arrived in less than half an hour, and it was delivered directly to the ward, so there was no need to go down to get it.
Jiang Ran took the food packaging bag over, quickly set up the small table on the hospital bed, opened the lid of the lunch box, and placed the warm porridge and side dishes one by one.
Jiang Jin wanted to help, but Jiang Ran didn’t let him go. He slapped his hand away and said domineeringly, “You’re not needed. Let’s go and rest.”
Jiang Jin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and smiled helplessly: “Okay, I won’t move.”
He was half leaning on the head of the bed, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ran without blinking, and he couldn’t look away for a long time.
“Don’t be stunned,” Jiang Ran handed the chopsticks to his hand, “Eat.”
Jiang Jin took it, but didn’t move it immediately. He looked at him and then at the chopsticks in his hand, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
“Don’t even think about it!” An alarm bell rang in Jiang Ran’s heart, and he immediately said decisively: “Eat it yourself, I won’t feed you!”
After so many years of tacit understanding, he knew what Jiang Jin was planning with just one look.Jiang Jin said “Oh” and lowered his head sadly, holding the chopsticks with a disappointed look on his face.
After a few minutes.
“Brother, I want to eat that,” Jiang Jin pointed to a plate of green stir-fried cabbage and said softly, “That one looks very healthy. It will definitely make you feel better after eating it. Feed it to me.”
Jiang Ran sighed, then picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth angrily.
This little madman knows how to torment people, and he was clearly determined not to spoil him, but after seeing that pitiful look in his eyes, he still couldn’t resist in the end.
Forget it, Jiang Ran thought, don’t care about the patient.
With a smile on his face, Jiang Jin opened his mouth to eat the food he fed, squinting his eyes and exclaiming: “It’s so delicious.”
“Don’t talk while eating,” Jiang Ran pinched his cheek, pinching the skin on the side of his face until it turned slightly red, and threatened, “If you keep doing this, you will eat it yourself.”
The two of them were eating when the door of the ward was suddenly knocked open with a bang.Li Yunzhou and Chen Qing rushed in with a flurry of flowers and fruit baskets. Before they could stand firm, they shouted at the top of their lungs:
“Ajin…Ajin…you…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw clearly the scene beside the bed.
Jiang Ran was taking a spoon to feed Jiang Jin porridge, spoon by spoon carefully.
Jiang Jin actually had no appetite, and the food was too bland and not very tasty.But he still didn’t refuse the things Jiang Ran fed him, and accepted them all.
Occasionally, when their eyes met, he would smile softly, with an irresistible tenderness in the corners of his eyes and brows.
Gentle…
Li Yunzhou never expected that this word would be used on Jiang Jin. He felt goosebumps suddenly appear on his arms. From the soles of his feet to his hair, he felt uncomfortable everywhere.
After being stunned for a while, he completed what he had not finished and said in a dry voice: “…are you okay?”
Jiang Jin swallowed the porridge and took a moment to look at him. The seemingly gentle emotion on his face immediately disappeared, and he responded calmly, “Why are you here?”
Li Yunzhou looked at the expression on his face and felt that what he wanted to say might not be “Why are you here” but “Why the hell are you here”.
He moved forward two steps shyly, put the flower and fruit basket on the bedside table, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, “Didn’t we hear that you were hospitalized and came to see you? What’s going on?”
Jiang Ran didn’t recognize the two people who came in, and it was difficult to interrupt. He silently packed up everything on the table and put it aside.
He originally wanted to be a transparent person and try to reduce his sense of existence.Hearing Li Yunzhou’s question, he still couldn’t help it. He raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Jin, wanting to hear his answer.
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Jin was keenly aware of Jiang Ran’s gaze, paused, and said deliberately vaguely: “I accidentally fell.”
He looked like he didn’t want to say more. If it were anyone else, he would have the sense to shut up at this time.
But Li Yunzhou is a young man with negative emotional intelligence. He is so nervous that he can act like a rubber band. He can’t hear what others are saying. He opened his mouth and asked loudly: “Isn’t it right? Where did you fall like this? School? It shouldn’t be. Didn’t you say you were going back two days ago…”
Jiang Ran pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
“Cough…” Jiang Jin coughed quickly, interrupted Li Yunzhou’s words, and raised his eyes to glare at him.
Li Yunzhou looked at him confused.
Jiang Jin glared again.
Li Yunzhou was still confused.
Jiang Jin…
His eyes were sore.
Chen Qing, who was watching happily from the side, finally came out to smooth things over with great mercy and patted Li Yunzhou on the shoulder, “Okay, looking at how lively he is, it must be nothing serious, so don’t worry about it. If you really want to worry about it, it’s not your turn.”
He glanced at Jiang Ran with a smile, “Who is this handsome guy? Why don’t you introduce him?”
Jiang Jin didn’t want to answer. He was concerned that Jiang Ran was here, so he finally spoke reluctantly: “My brother, Jiang Ran.”
Chen Qing said “Oh”, still with a smile on his face.
Jiang Jin glanced at her and added, “It’s not a kiss.”
Chen Qing said “Oh” again for a long time, his eyes moving meaningfully between the two of them.
Jiang Ran thought her look was strange, and felt a little nervous. The hand on his side curled up unconsciously.
“Hello, I’m Chen Qing,” Chen Qing didn’t ask any more questions, and instead extended his hand to Jiang Ran, “The keyboardist of ‘Waiting for the Rain to Stop’.”
Jiang Ran was actually quite impressed by her. After all, he had searched her photos some time ago and read a lot of gossip from netizens.
Facing this person who was suspected of being his brother’s girlfriend, he felt a little uncomfortable. He stretched out his hand to shake her hand and replied briefly: “Hello.”
The fingertips separated within a few seconds of touching each other. Chen Qing smiled and pointed at Li Yunzhou, “These two idiots are the bassist of our band, Li Yunzhou.”
“Hey, no!” Li Yunzhou said, “You are just a fool! How could you introduce me to others like this? People have a bad impression of me!”
Chen Qing rolled his eyes, “Then do it yourself, I want to see what kind of flower you can name.”
Li Yunzhou snorted lightly, ignored her, turned to Jiang Ran, smiled, touched his head and said, “Brother Jiang, we met before, do you still remember?”
Jiang Ran looked at him for a moment. To be honest, he had no impression at all. He only vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be in a band, but he didn’t know anything else.
So he fell silent.
“Isn’t it?” Li Yunzhou howled and reminded: “Just last time, on that basketball court, didn’t you almost get hit by the ball? A Jin helped you block it. I was beside you at that time.”
When he said this, Jiang Ran finally pulled out such a figure from the corner, and suddenly realized: “Oh, it’s you.”
“It’s me, it’s me.” Li Yunzhou smiled with white teeth.
Several people exchanged names with each other and chatted a few words, but after all, they were not familiar with each other, and there was a wounded person lying on the bed. No one was interested in chatting, and the atmosphere was not warm.
After chatting for a while, Chen Qing lowered his head and looked at his watch. When he raised his head again, there was a bit of anxiety in his eyes, and he said to Jiang Jin: “Ah Jin, since there is nothing important on your side, let’s leave first. I have an appointment later and I can’t be late. Li Yunzhou drove and had to see me off.”
Jiang Jin didn’t even raise his eyes, nodded and said, “Okay, be careful on the road.”
But Jiang Ran asked more: “Leaving so soon?”
“Are you going to stay if you don’t want to leave?” Chen Qing winked at him, with a joking smile on his face: “Ah Jin, a boyfriend for ten minutes, is not worthy of me letting him go for a handsome guy.”
Jiang Ran was stunned, “Huh?”
Chen Qing said nothing more and blew a kiss to him, “Let’s go, handsome. See you next time.”
After saying that, he dragged Li Yunzhou out and went out.
The two people came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Jiang Ran and Jiang Jin were left staring at each other. Jiang Ran crossed his arms and said slowly, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
Jiang Jin: “…”
Worse, how could you have forgotten this?
“That’s right…” He was at a loss for words, racking his brains to think of how to explain.
Before he could think of a perfect answer, Jiang Ran glared at him.While throwing the leftover packaging box into the trash can, he said: “For the sake of your injury, I won’t care about you. If you lie to me next time, I will… just…”
He “just” spent a long time, but couldn’t find anything he could use to threaten him, so he had to use the previous sentence.
“I’ll block you.”
After repeating this sentence over and over again, Jiang Jin suppressed a smile and responded, “I know, brother.”
When it was almost eight o’clock, Jiang Ran sent a message to Tang Qin, telling him that he would not be going back tonight.
Tang Qin: [Huh?So where do you live?You have class tomorrow morning, don’t forget it.]
R: [Don’t worry, I won’t forget it.]
He is already familiar with taking care of patients in the hospital.What’s more, the conditions of this ward are much better than that of Old Man Chen. There is no strange smell or the never-ending coughing sound.
Jiang Ran still remembered that when he was taking care of Old Man Chen, there was a lung cancer patient lying on the bed next to him. He was sixty or seventy years old, and he coughed all day long from morning to night. His coughing was so heartbreaking that it almost broke through the sky through a thin curtain.
It was noisy, very noisy.
He kept vigil at night and basically never slept well.In addition to the coughing sounds that cannot be ignored, there are also old man Chen’s sighs, one after another, that can’t be dismissed no matter what.
It’s much better now than it was then.The ward and toilet are single-person, and the nursing bed is much larger. In addition, the weather is hot now, so there is no need to worry about catching a cold. Jiang Ran is very satisfied.
He was satisfied, but Jiang Jin was not too dissatisfied and insisted on letting him go to bed.
“This bed is very big and can sleep two people,” he said. “The nursing bed looks very hard. How can I sleep well?”
Jiang Ran flicked his forehead and said, “You are a patient. How can you compete with a patient for a bed?”
“How can you call it robbing the bed?” Jiang Jin retorted, “I sleep here too.”
Jiang Ran just pretended not to hear and turned around and entered the bathroom.
The bathroom is equipped with basic towels and toothbrushes.Jiang Ran spent about ten minutes cleaning himself up and then wringing out a hot towel.
Jiang Jin was still lying on the bed in a daze. He didn’t have a mobile phone to play with, and he wasn’t feeling very well. He had no way of entertainment at all, so he could only stay quietly.
Hearing footsteps, he was about to look up when a warm towel was placed on his face.Jiang Jin subconsciously closed his eyes and felt the soft towel gently brushing against his face.
Very comfortable and a little itchy.
After wiping his face, Jiang Ran said to him again: “Raise your hands.”
Jiang Jin looked at him and stretched out a hand.Jiang Ran caught his hand, took a towel and wiped it carefully, not sparing every part from the fingertips to the wrist bones, from the back of the hand to the palm.
Because he plays the guitar, his fingertips are always covered with a thin layer of calluses and feel a bit rough to the touch.
Jiang Ran stayed on those cocoons for a while.
Throughout the whole process, Jiang Jin kept looking down at him, silently letting him manipulate him.
After wiping his hands clean, Jiang Ran went into the bathroom again, rinsed the towel, and brought in a basin filled with hot water.
“Turn around,” he said, “I’ll rub your back.”
Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Ran asked, “You won’t let me move?”
“I’ll do it myself.” Jiang Jin sat up straight and reached out to take the towel from Jiang Ran’s hand.
Jiang Ran avoided his hand, stared into his eyes, and repeated, “I said, I want to see your back.”
When Jiang Jin mentioned the injury today, he just ignored him. Jiang Ran was not a fool. He had noticed it a long time ago. He had to see the injury with his own eyes before he could feel relieved.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but in the end Jiang Jin was defeated first.
He sighed, turned around silently, and lay on the bed, “Come on.”
Jiang Ran walked over, hooked his clothes, and slowly lifted them off.What entered his eyes was a large area of bruises, redness, and swelling. The skin was broken in some places. There should have been bleeding before, but now it has formed a black scab.
He took a deep breath and spit it out. His fingertips lightly touched the bruise. Maybe it was a little cold or painful. Jiang Jin trembled subconsciously.
Jiang Ran looked at it, his nose couldn’t help but feel sore, and he asked softly: “How did you do it?”
This voice was different from usual. Jiang Jin sensed something was wrong and wanted to turn his head to have a look, but he held his head down again and prevented him from turning around. He could only smile helplessly, “Brother, I’m really fine. It just looks serious. They are all flesh wounds.”
Jiang Ran remained silent and gently wiped his back with a towel. In fact, he didn’t dare to touch the injured areas at all and only wiped the edges.
After wiping his waist clean, he lifted up his clothes. Jiang Jin was very white and her injuries became more obvious. Just looking at her like this made her feel shocked.
As he wiped it, the words He Siyu said to him today came to mind. Jiang Jin had a bad relationship with his family. Over the years, he didn’t know how many grievances he had suffered in a place where he couldn’t see.
You could fall down the stairs after a quarrel, but what about before?Were there any more serious injuries?Have you ever experienced anything more uncomfortable?
Just thinking about it, he couldn’t control his emotions. He felt his eyes get hot, and when he realized it, tears were already falling on Jiang Jin’s back.
“Ouch, my God.”
The feeling of falling tears was cold. Jiang Jin clearly felt it. His whole body froze for a moment. Then, regardless of his obstruction, he turned over and sat up from the bed, “What’s wrong? Why are you still crying?”
Jiang Ran didn’t want to cry, but he couldn’t hold back the cry. When Jiang Jin looked over, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned his head away.
Jiang Jin took out a tissue to wipe his tears, with a face that didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I didn’t even cry, why are you crying…Okay, it’s really okay, it doesn’t hurt at all. Don’t you know me? I’ve been resisting since I was a child.”
Jiang Ran took the tissue and wiped it on his face. He felt that he was too worthless. He was still crying in front of his younger brother at such an old age. He didn’t look like a brother at all.
He wanted to turn his back, but Jiang Jin held him back, preventing him from hiding.
“Stop crying,” Jiang Jin carefully turned his face up, looked at his eyes that were red from crying, and said softly, “I’m in good health. This small injury will be healed in a few days, and there won’t even be a scar left. When the time comes, I’ll let you check, and you can do whatever you want, even if you’re naked…”
Jiang Qi had to throw the towel in his face and said in a tearful voice, “Why are you always like this…”
“Well,” Jiang Jin took the towel and threw it into the basin that Jiang Ran brought over. He then pulled him over, held him in his arms, and patted his back gently, “Brother, it’s all my fault, please stop crying, okay? I really can’t stand it when you cry like this.”
“I didn’t want to cry,” Jiang Ran sniffed, with a thick nasal sound in his voice, “I just can’t control it.”
He repeated, “I’m not that pretentious.”
“I know, I know…” Jiang Jin wiped away his tears and snot with a piece of paper, and stroked his thin eyelids with his fingers. In just a short time, they were already red, and he felt a little distressed, “It will be swollen in a while.”
“Who’s to blame?” Jiang Ran said in a muffled voice.
“It’s my fault.” Jiang Jin kissed the corner of his eye and took away the last bitter tear, “It’s all my fault, okay?”
“Little bastard.” Jiang Ran scolded him.
Jiang Jin said “Yeah” and chuckled, “I’m here.”
“Little madman.” Jiang Ran said again.
“Well, I am.”
“You…”
The words stopped abruptly.
Jiang Jin’s lips slid down from the end of his eyes, brushed the tip of his nose, and moved to his lips. While their breaths were intertwined, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Jiang Ran blinked, and a tear that came from nowhere slipped from the corner of his eye and fell between his lips and teeth.
Both of them tasted the unique taste of tears, bitter, astringent, and a little salty, like cold sea water.
Jiang Jin didn’t kiss him deeply, she just rubbed his lips gently, with a comforting meaning, and then said vaguely after a while: “Whether it’s a bastard or a lunatic, they are all…raised by you.”
So, you have to be responsible.
