    Tulips

    Su Xingyi only stayed for three days and then left. Shen Luo could only see him when he was eating, and everyone else agreed that he did not exist.

    Shen Luo didn’t eat the night before and woke up early from hunger. He touched his empty stomach and jumped to the kitchen. There were only some leftovers in the refrigerator. As soon as he closed the refrigerator door, Su Ji was startled. He leaned on the door and looked at him sleepily.

    When Su Jigang woke up, he didn’t look like he was woken up by hunger, but like he was woken up by a noise. He looked at the leftovers in Shen Luo’s hands, then touched his stomach and said, “I’m a little hungry, you…what about you?”

    Shen Luo nodded slightly and said, “A little bit.”

    Su Ji said to him as he settled on the sofa, “Then you wait in the living room.”

    Shen Luo said nothing and could only wait obediently in the room. There was a potted plant on the window sill. The leaves were a little yellow. It looked like it had not been taken care of carefully. Pets were not allowed in this community. As he thought about it, Su Ji brought out his dark dishes from the kitchen.Come on, Shen Luo immediately lost his appetite after looking at it. The last dish of braised beans and noodles made his eyesight go dark and he couldn’t take off his chopsticks. Su Ji thought he couldn’t let go and pushed the plate. Shen Luo had no choice but to taste it briefly and swallow it under his eager eyes.

    I don’t know whether it was a psychological effect or a real discomfort. Shen Luo lay on the bed and felt as if his heart was blocked and his stomach was churning. He lay on the trash can and vomited out acidic water. He propped up his embarrassed body and went out. He stopped a taxi and went to the hospital. It was a huge hospital.He didn’t know where to go first or where to go, and no one had taught him. He couldn’t help but get wet in his eyes, and slowly moved his steps to ask the volunteers. While waiting in line, he looked at the busy people and the caring words that kept floating into his ears, and the hurried back of Shen Yixiang appeared in his mind.

    It was already night after all the matters were dealt with. While waiting for the bus at the entrance of the hospital, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

    “Shen Luo, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

    The words were full of concern. Shen Luo looked at him sleepily and nodded lightly. An Yu immediately helped him into the car. He originally thought that there would be an overwhelming pungent smell. When he leaked a little, what penetrated his nose was not a messy smell, but a faint fragrance. Shen Luo smelled this smell for the first time. He took a deep breath and said, “What is this smell? It smells good.”

    “This is the smell of tulips. I bought it specially. Does it smell good?”

    Shen Luo had been busy all day, and now he had no energy at all. He slumped on the passenger seat and said feebly: “It’s very comfortable. I quite like it.”

    “As long as you like it.”

    Shen Luo only asked him to be sent downstairs. An Yu watched him enter the unit building before going back. Shen Luo heard Shen Meng’s voice at the door.

    “Xiao Ji, are you feeling better now? Do you want to go to the hospital tomorrow?”

    Su Ji said: “No need, just drink some medicine and it will be fine.”

    “Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, call me or dad.”

    Shen Luo really didn’t want to disturb their family, but he was really tired, and he didn’t have keys or fingerprints, so he could only knock on the door to remind them that there was someone outside.

    Su Ji knew that Shen Luo was back and stood up to open the door, but Shen Meng stopped him, “You have a good rest, I’ll open it.”

    Shen Meng saw Shen Luo standing outside and said, “If your feet are not good, don’t run out.”

    Then he turned sideways to let Shen Luo in, and said again when closing the door: “It will really cause trouble for people.”

    Shen Luo pretended not to hear anything and locked himself in the room. Su Ji wanted to defend him but Shen Meng changed the subject.

    Shen Luo heard the rustling sounds outside, and could imagine what he looked like when he said these words. Even if he didn’t care, he would feel a little disappointed in his heart. The next second, Su Ji gently pushed the door open and came in, softly saying: “Porridge is cooked outside, do you want to get up and drink some?”

    Shen Luo closed his eyes and tried to persuade himself not to make a sound, but he still couldn’t hold it back and said lightly: “I’m tired.”

    Su Ji didn’t force it, closed the door and said, “Then you should rest early.”

    The soundproofing of his room was not good. In fact, this room was not a real room, it was just transformed from a study room. Even so, Shen Luo said nothing and just wanted to fall asleep quickly.I couldn’t fall asleep listening to the cheerful voices outside the door. I could only secretly eavesdrop on their caring words through a wall. That kind of heart-warming love could only be seen from a distance.Their voices gradually subsided from the gentle spring breeze caressing the fields to the waves, but the breeze that turned the rice in the fields yellow could not reach them.

    Such a life made him breathless, so he packed up and left the next day. As soon as he arrived downstairs, he met Su Ji getting out of the car, looked at his suitcase and said, “Where are you going? I’ll see you off later?”

    “No, I’ll just take a taxi in a minute.” Shen Luo doesn’t like to owe others, especially them.

    Su Ji didn’t like being aggressive like Shen Meng, but was gentle and gentle like a gentleman. Shen Luo was soft-spoken but not tough. Every time Su Ji discussed this with him, it made sense.

    Shen Luo agreed to let him deliver it, but did not agree to sit in the car and wait. Five minutes later, Su Ji came downstairs with the documents, and the two of them got in the car together.

    Shen Luo felt a little dizzy. He habitually covered his mouth and nose, hugged the crutches in his hands, and looked at Su Ji from the building he was passing quickly outside the window. He was driving the vehicle seriously and looked at the rearview mirror from time to time. Shen Luo looked at him with eyes full of envy, as if he was looking up at someone he had no idea about.He is a person of the highest level in the world, and the care and love given to him by Shen Meng and Su Shangjun since he was a child has cultivated him into an independent, confident and assertive person. He has never been seen getting angry at others, and even when Shen Luo blended in with them later, he did not show any dissatisfaction or ridicule on the surface.

    Just like this, he wanted Shen Luo to escape even more. His situation was completely contrary to his. His indifference became a thorn that pierced Shen Luo’s heart until it penetrated his entire heart.

    The car stopped slowly and Su Ji looked at him. Shen Luo had no time to retract his gaze. He was still as gentle as ever. Shen Luo didn’t dare to look into his eyes and said, “Just put me down here. I can do it myself.”

    “I’ll accompany you.” Su Ji opened the window, and Shen Luo thought he was going to light up a cigarette to kill time, but he just opened the folder he just got and started working, tapping the outer cover rhythmically with his fingers. He seemed to be in a good mood, while Shen Luo looked at the path boredly, hoping that a hero would appear who could save him from danger.

    Su Ji saw his nervousness and comforted him: “You don’t need to be so nervous when you are with me. After all, we are…family.”

    As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around him changed. Shen Luo couldn’t find any polite words to say. Su Ji didn’t realize what he said, because in his heart, Shen Luo had become his younger brother.

    After waiting for a long time, I saw Liang Qian. He was wearing cool clothes, a big vest, a pair of cargo shorts, and slippers as he came to pick up the car. Su Ji got out of the car and handed the things to him, then told Shen Luo to get settled and call him back before leaving.

    After getting rid of Su Ji, Shen Luo’s back became vivid. Shen Luo watched the car slowly drive into the traffic at the corner. He wanted to face it directly but did not have the courage. Every time he saw Su Ji, he could think of Shen Meng’s disappointed eyes looking at him, which made him unable to breathe.

    As soon as Liang Qian took him back, Guo Rui kicked him aside and helped him to the sofa. He looked left and right, “Xiao Luo, does your leg still hurt? Your godmother has made delicious food for you. You can eat more later.”

    Shen Luo couldn’t withstand Guo Rui’s repeated attacks at all, so he had to eat one after another at the dinner table until the food in Shen Luo’s bowl was so piled that he couldn’t hold it anymore before letting him go, while Liang Qian, his own son, was left alone.

    After dinner, Guo Rui ordered Liang Qian to take good care of Shen Luo, so Liang Qian became a rickshaw driver. Shen Luo refused at first, but then gradually got used to it, which directly saved Liang Qian’s time for fitness.
