Aunt Liu. ”

Ai Xin slowly pushed open the door of the ward, and Aunt Jin was sitting next to the bed, feeding Liu Yarong oranges.

"I told you, don't eat fruit on an empty stomach, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. ”

Ai Xin said a little complainingly, but there was still a smile on her face, and she handed the breakfast in her hand to Aunt Jin, who immediately stood up and went to the cabinet to take out the tableware.

"Don't talk about that, Xiao Ai, are you up late today?"

Liu Yarong smiled at her, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost nine o'clock, and quickly found the key point to divert the topic.

"Well, I didn't mention breakfast on the way, I spilled it, so I went out and bought it again, and it was late. ”

"Hey, next time I buy a hospital canteen, I don't have to make a special trip. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ai Xin nodded and sat obediently on the edge of the bed, waiting for Aunt Jin to put breakfast on the table on the hospital bed.

She knew that although Liu Yarong said this, she was actually not satisfied with the food in the hospital, and she had been bringing in food in different ways for the past few days.

"Let's eat. ”

Aunt Jin set up the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Ai Xin, who was not moving at all, which was a little strange.

"Xiao Ai, aren't you eating?"

"Oh, I've had breakfast...... Oyster fried, do you know that?"

"Oyster fried? How can you not know this, this is a very famous snack here!"

"It's just, in the morning, there are still oyster fried sellers?" Liu Yarong couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Ai, your digestion ability is really strong." ”

Originally...... Don't locals eat this in the morning?

Ai Xin touched her stomach helplessly, and looked at Liu Yarong with some grievances: "My stomach is uncomfortable all morning, I thought this was breakfast food, but I couldn't get used to it." ”

"How can there be, it's all for children, and there's a night market, we don't have a meal to eat this!"

Liu Yarong pursed her lips, she didn't have to think about it, it must be the hawker who saw that Ai Xin was a foreigner, and even coaxed her to buy one.

"Come Xiao Ai, you lean here, I'll rub your belly for you. ”

"Eh?" Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Yarong's plaster-wrapped legs, and immediately shook his head, "Auntie, don't move, turn around and flash your waist again, I should be fine for a while." ”

"It's okay, then Xiaojin will rub it for you, we will all do this, just rub it when the child doesn't digest it." ”

"Yes, Xiao Ai, lie on the sofa, I'll rub it for you. ”

Aunt Jin also stood up when she heard this, and pulled Ai Xin to the sofa next to her without saying anything, and rubbed her hand on Ai Xin's stomach, although the action was gentle, it was very useful, and soon Ai Xin felt that the swollen things in her stomach dissipated.

"Is this also the secret recipe here?

Ai Xin looked at Aunt Jin and Liu Yarong with some surprise, but both of them had knowing smiles on their faces.

"What is the secret recipe, there are children in the family who accumulate food, and if they don't digest it, everyone will press it like this, Xiao Ai, didn't your mother press it for you when you were a child?"

"......" Ai Xin's upper and lower lips touched, and after recalling for a while, he shook his head.

Liu Yarong suddenly raised her hand as if she remembered something: "Oh, Xiaojin, help me see what black things are in this porridge!"

"Huh, I'll see!"

Aunt Jin immediately got up from the sofa, ran to the side of the bed, picked up Liu Yarong's bowl, and stirred it with a spoon several times before looking at her helplessly.

"Sister Rong, this is preserved egg and lean porridge, this is not preserved eggs!"

"Oh, preserved eggs, I thought it was something black, it scared me. ”

Liu Yarong didn't have any frightened expression, just reached out and stroked her chest and took a breath.

This lame acting skill made Ai want to laugh, she knew that Liu Yarong was worried that Aunt Jin would be sad when she mentioned her parents, so she hurriedly stopped Xiao Jin and ended this meaningless inquiry in time.

But it's obviously something that should be laughed, but Ai Xin can't laugh now, she just feels that there is something soft in her heart, which has been being pulled and poured warmth into a deep hole.

From just now, Aunt Jin and Liu Yarong were like elders in the family, competing to rub their stomachs, to Liu Yarong to relieve herself...... All of this made Ai Xin feel strange, but warm.

They treat themselves as if they are children in their own family, they can't bear to scold no matter what happens, they care about themselves, worry about themselves, care about their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and they can't help laughing because of some of their own troubles.

She once thought that what the Tao family gave her was family affection, that is, the "family" that she had been longing for but did not dare to touch, so she thanked the Tao family very much, gave herself the maximum affection, and has been repaying the Tao family in various ways.

But now, she knows that it is not family affection at all, but an exchange of material and feelings. Tao Shengyang just gave away some of Ai Xin's most missing things in exchange for her loyalty, because she didn't know what family affection was.

Ai Xin looked at Liu Yarong and Aunt Jin who were arguing beside the hospital bed, and couldn't help lowering her head, but the corners of her mouth were upturned.

To put it mildly, Liu Yarong may still be her future mother-in-law, in Ai Xin's cognition, these should have been two identities that are incompatible, Liu Yarong is likely to embarrass herself in every possible way, at least she can't get used to herself, but she cares about herself as if she were her own daughter.

Personalities like Liu Yarong and Tong Yu, the more polite they are to you, the more they do treat you as an outsider. Only when they suddenly become difficult to get along with, become awkward, picky, and verbose, do they really have dependence and feelings for you.

This is even more vividly reflected in Tong Yu, since the two of them have been together, Tong Yu is simply verbose and terrible, not only does he report himself to everything, but he also seems to be picky about everything in the family.

When I first met, Tong Yu ate whatever he gave. Whether it is the chocolate given at the birthday party or the home-cooked dishes made at home, Tong Yu is full of praise.

But I don't know when Tong Yu actually learned to order......

"Isn't that beef porridge a little salty in the morning...... It's clear that we're both southerners, so why don't we have different tastes?"

"The winter melon and shrimp pot last night, is the vermicelli not cooked soft, how do I feel chewier than usual when I eat it?"

"There's still fried rice at home, call it takeout, I'm afraid the fried rice will be bad......"

Like this, he has appeared at home quite frequently in the past two months, and Tong Yu is just an ordinary person, and he has eaten meals at home for a long time, and he also misses the taste of the outside a little.

Moreover, Ai Xin has not been idle since he was discharged from the hospital, and he has no time to study cooking skills according to Tong Yu's opinions, so there is no progress, and it is normal for Tong Yu to get tired of eating.

But a few weeks ago, Tong Yu came back one night, lying on the sofa and looking at Ai Xin very expectantly, as if something good had happened outside.

"Today, the crew is finished, and I go to that hotel to make Shanghai food, I ate a braised pork that is delicious, and osmanthus cake ......"

"Teacher Tong......"

Ai Xin looked at Tong Yu helplessly, braised pork is not very difficult, as long as the kitchenware and time are well grasped, it is not a problem to be fat but not greasy, and it will melt in your mouth. Osmanthus cake, although I haven't done it, but pastry desserts or something are also Ai Xin's strengths.

The big question is......

"Teacher Tong, if you think it's delicious next time, can you pack a copy back, I can't make the same thing just by describing the taste......"

"Oh, yes, I've always felt like you can make anything, the last time I ate the dumplings, Su Ya and I thought you bought them from outside, it's so authentic. Tong Yu touched his nose embarrassedly and laughed, "The finale banquet is not easy to pack, I'll take you to eat next time." ”

recalled the bits and pieces of living with Tong Yu, even his complaints, his verbosity, and his pickiness made Ai happy, and being with Tong Yu was only happy for her, without any sadness.

That's why, when she thinks of hiding Tong Yu's mother's injury from now, Ai Xin feels extremely guilty. She had promised in front of him that she would never lie to him again, but now she broke that promise again.

Over the years, in addition to her parents, Tong Yu is probably the most important person in her mind, and it can even be said that Tong Yu's importance to her sometimes exceeds that of her parents.

So in front of Tong Yu, Ai Xin has always wanted to maintain his perfect image, but he is not inferior all the time, afraid that he will not be able to enter Tong Yu's eyes.

These two moods are intertwined, plus a lot of worries at work, Ai Xin has hardly slept well in the past few days that he has stayed in T City, and almost whenever he has time, he will think about how to explain this matter to Tong Yu.

But now, without even thinking about this, there is an equally thorny problem in front of her-

That's how to tell Liu Yarong that she told Li Man about her injury, and the follow-up companionship in the hospital will be replaced by Li Man.

In short, everything that should come is coming, and it's useless to hide by yourself...... If the hardships of life have taught Ai Xin anything, it must be something that cannot be avoided in the world, no matter sooner or later, it must be faced and solved. Therefore, for troubles, Ai Xin has always pursued an attitude of solving them as soon as possible.

"Aunt Kim. ”

Ai Xin raised his head, looked at the two elders in front of the hospital bed, and couldn't help but speak.

"I have something I want to say to Aunt Liu alone. ”

"Okay, then I'll just go out for a walk and come back with some snacks and fruits. ”

Aunt Kim stood up and smiled, and quickly exited the room.

"Xiao Ai. After Liu Yarong confirmed that Aunt Jin was out of the room, she slowly opened her mouth, and the expression on her face became serious, "Is there something wrong with Xiaoyu?"

"It's not. Ai Xin shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and nodded again, "That's right." ”

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with Xiaoyu?"

Sure enough, as soon as Tong Yu was mentioned, Liu Yarong would lose her previous composure and gentleness, and become impatient.

Regarding the name and identity of Liu Yarong's son, even if she didn't need Liu Yarong's instructions, Ai Xin would not tell Aunt Jin. But she can't be sure if Aunt Jin will see something about Tong Yu in Liu Yarong's house, even if she does, it is estimated that she will not know Tong Yu at Aunt Jin's age.

Whether Aunt Jin knows it or not, the heart of defense is indispensable, this is the tacit understanding between Ai Xin and Liu Yarong.

"Auntie, Tong Yu is fine, I want to tell you, I want to think about this matter, it's still inappropriate not to tell Tong Yu, but tell him...... It's very likely that he will fly over right now, and although he hasn't worked lately, it's still not very convenient. I thought about it, what's the matter, but I still told Sister Man. ”

"Xiao Man?" Liu Yarong was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded again, "Well, it's right to tell Xiao Man, at least Tong Yu will blame you in the future, and you won't be the only one to blame." ”

"No, I think it's still possible for Sister Man to tell Tong Yu, so I still have to tell you about it. ”

"It's nothing, if Xiao Man really says it, the worst result is that Xiao Yu is back now, and I'm okay, I won't make too much trouble. ”

"Well, it's good that you don't get angry. ”

Ai Xin breathed a sigh of relief gently, thinking about it, every time Liu Yarong let herself hide from Tong Yu, she was just afraid that Tong Yu would worry, and now that the situation is stable, Tong Yu will be angry for a while at most, and if he says a few words, he will not really turn his face.

"That...... So there's a second thing...... Since I told Sister Man about this, Sister Man is going to come and see your ......."

"Ah, Xiao Man doesn't have to come, I'm almost fine, I'll be discharged from the hospital soon, and let Xiao Man run for a trip, it's too much of a toss!"

Sure enough, Liu Yarong still had some resistance to Li Man's coming to the hospital. In fact, she also understands Liu Yarong's worries, Li Man and Tong Yu are the two people who usually contact each other most frequently, if Li Man leaves Beijing suddenly, and it is not the company's arrangement, then Tong Yu will probably be suspicious......

"Auntie, don't worry, I will tell Sister Man, and I won't let Tong Yu know. As for Tong Yu, wait for a few of us to think of a suitable word, and then tell him, what do you think?"

"Okay. ”

Liu Yarong nodded helplessly, listening to Ai Xin's words, the two of them had already been arranged, and there was no point in her objecting now.

"Sister Man is here tonight, and after I come, I may have to go back to Beijing first...... There are some things over there that may require me to intervene myself, so I can't help it...... If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have thought of bothering Sister Man......"

Ai Xin said the last thing in a hurry, but because of some weakness, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Oh?" Liu Yarong turned her head to look at her, and for a while, a smile appeared on her face, "Xiao Ai, you, what a stupid child." ”

"Huh?"

Ai Xin raised her head and looked at Liu Yarong a little strangely, not understanding the meaning of her words.

"How good it is for you to tell me directly, obviously you have something to do when you go back to Beijing, if you weren't worried about me, I'm afraid you won't call Xiaoman, right?

Liu Yarong looked at her with a smile, and touched Ai Xin's hair with some distress.

"Auntie knows that you also have your own work to be busy in Beijing, and it is difficult for you to stay here for several days this time. In fact, with your Aunt Jin here, the care is already very good, I know that you are worried that you are not thoughtful enough, Tong Yu's identity is special, you must have no one else to ask for, so you will call Xiaoman, right?"

"Auntie......"

Ai Xin sat stunned, her lips touching up and down, but she never said a word.

The two of them were silent for a while, and tears suddenly dripped down and hit the quilt on Liu Yarong's body, making a slight sound.

It's been a long time...... For a long, long time, no one has gently stroked Ai Xin's head like this, seen through all her thoughts, and can tell her so gently: It's okay, you don't have to be so tired, you don't have to carry everything by yourself......

The most ironic thing is that this person is not his own parents, nor his own friend, but the mother of his own boyfriend......

"It's okay, Xiao Ai, cry if you want to. I'm afraid that when you get to Beijing, you won't be able to cry in front of others, right?"

Liu Yarong gently patted the top of Ai Xin's head, like coaxing a child with a sense of rhythm, and like a silent guidance.

Half a minute later, Ai Xin finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, buried his head in the quilt, and let out a whimper.
