Chapter 33: The Nouveau Riche Boy
"Really, and chicken soup?" The young man looked at Zhan Yiyang excitedly, and his big eyes were rippling with crystal color, give it to him
The already extremely delicate face added a bit of pity to it.
Zhan Yiyang sighed, if it weren't for this Adam's apple and height, everyone would have thought he was a girl.
"Chicken soup is available, but you need to answer the question first." Zhan Yiyang glanced at the young man's slightly tangled face, did not speak, put his hands lightly on Xu Rongrong's back, and hugged her in a way that could not help but be restrained.
"I ...... I answered the question, will you just give me chicken soup? The boy was a little excited, although he didn't want to say the reason, but the chicken soup was more important to him, so after hesitating, the boy still chose to confess.
"I'm willing to buy chicken soup for one million, because I only have money left, and I don't know what I can exchange for chicken soup except money......" The young man lowered his head, looking a little pitiful, but his words made Xu Rongrong almost choke to death with his own saliva.
"You, you said you were poor and only had money left?" Xu Rongrong looked at this boy who was as beautiful as a girl with strange eyes, and only felt that his three views were about to be subverted.
"Yes, yes." The young man lowered his head, his white and slender hands tugging at the corners of his hospital gown, as if he also knew that his statement was not very good, and a faint flush could not help but appear on his face.
"You...... What about your mom and dad? Do they give you money? Xu Rongrong's eyes widened in disbelief, she had seen a lot of rich people, many of whom doted on their children and gave a lot of money. But none of those children could throw away a million for a bowl of chicken soup, and none of them dared to say that they were poor and only had money left......
In the next second, the young man's face suddenly changed, from Fang Cai's slight pink, to some bruises, then a little gray, and finally his face turned completely pale.
Xu Rongrong was stunned, she didn't know what she had just said, what had violated the taboo of the young man, and could make his face change like this.
Halfway through, the boy lowered his head and said sullenly, "I don't have parents." ”
"......" Xu Rongrong has never encountered this situation, although she wanted to comfort this teenager at the first time, but she really didn't know how to say it or how to do it.
There was no way, Xu Rongrong could only look at Zhan Yiyang for help.
Zhan Yiyang reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "How long have you been living here alone?" ”
"I'm alone, probably ......" The young man lowered his head, stretched out his fingers and calculated, before he looked at Zhan Yiyang seriously and whispered, "I've lived here alone for three months." ”
"How did you spend the three months without your parents?" Seeing this, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but interject after all, but his delicate eyes were already a little foggy.
"How did you live...... the young man tilted his head, his right index finger on his head, and looked innocent and cute, "That's how you live." ”
The young man smiled at Xu Rongrong, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing his white teeth, and on that delicate face, there was a sense of beauty of a hundred flowers blooming.
Then, Xu Rongrong saw the young man return to the hospital bed, reached out and took out a walkie-talkie from the cabinet, and said to the other end of the walkie-talkie, "I'm hungry." ”
About three minutes later, a yawning nurse came to the boy's bed and held out a hand.
Xu Rongrong subconsciously looked out the window, S City had already lit up with neon lights, and it was already late at night.
When Xu Rongrong's eyes moved back from the window, what he saw was that the young man had put a hundred-yuan bill in the nurse's hand.
The nurse was not surprised, but took the 100-dollar bill as usual.
Xu Rongrong looked at the young man puzzled, and it wasn't until the young man smiled from her that she suddenly had an epiphany, it turned out that she was helping the young man buy something.
"What a little ghost." Xu Rongrong nodded helplessly, he didn't expect that he would give birth to such a method to buy food, it is really lazy people have lazy tricks.
The boy spread his hands, as if to indicate that he had no way to do this.
However, Xu Rongrong didn't think much of it, only beckoned to him, and then handed him the chicken soup that Zhan Yiyang had just put in another white porcelain bowl.
"Thank you......" When he took the soup, the boy hesitated to say thank you, and it was obvious that he should not have said it for a long time.
Xu Rongrong looked at the young man gently, with a mother's love in his eyes.
Women are born to sympathize with the weak, although at first the boy's bad attitude made Xu Rongrong feel that he was very uneducated and impolite, but when the teenager said that he had no parents, Xu Rongrong's heart was softened.
A teenager who doesn't have a father and mother is so pitiful. Thinking about it like this, Xu Rongrong remembered the straight eyes he had when he looked at the chicken soup, and his heart softened, and he didn't care about a million, so he handed the chicken soup directly to the young man.
Seeing the young man tasting the chicken soup in small sips and not daring to swallow it, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but sour again.
"You can eat with confidence, there are many more." Xu Rongrong got up and put the thermos cup in front of the young man.
As soon as the young man lowered his head, he saw that there was still half a cup of chicken soup, and he couldn't help but look a little eager, and looked at Xu Rongrong's expression, and felt a little grateful.
However, he still drank the soup in small sips, and his movements were polite, and he looked like he had been carefully taught.
Watching the young man's every move carefully, although he occasionally acted rudely and was rude, other times he always inadvertently revealed a trace of elegance.
Xu Rongrong secretly analyzed, this child's parents may be really rich and have a status, as for why the boy became what he is now, it is estimated that he still has to ask himself.
Just thinking about these things, there was a noise outside the door, and the nurse who had taken a hundred yuan from the boy just now threw the things in his hand on the boy and turned to leave.
"Hey, that guy, what about the rest of the money?" Xu Rongrong glanced at the lunch box and asked the nurse with some puzzlement.
It's just a boxed lunch, and no matter how expensive it is, it's less than a hundred yuan.
The nurse was stopped by Xu Rongrong, but she ignored her, only rolled her eyes, and left directly, without even stopping her steps.
"You ......" Xu Rongrong stared at this rude nurse with wide eyes, only feeling extremely angry.
Whose school gives a graduated nurse such rudeness to be an angel in white? ……
The young man who was drinking soup sensed Xu Rongrong's anger, he gently put down the white porcelain bowl, reached out to pick up the lunch box, and said habitually, "Don't call her, it's all a rule, and the rest of the money to buy me food is theirs." ”
"It's all theirs? What rules? Why are you giving them money? Xu Rongrong's eyes widened in puzzlement, could it be that the nurses in this hospital still have to charge for a meal?
"That's it, they help me buy food, and I give them the rest of the money as travel expenses." The young man picked up the disposable chopsticks and said lightly, without any expression on his delicate face.
Xu Rongrong was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that there would be such a person, buying a meal and asking for travel expenses.
It's really hard for this child, these three months have been spent like this.
Xu Rongrong looked at the young man sympathetically, and his eyes fell on the lunch box in his hand.
"Oh my God......" Xu Rongrong let out an exclamation, she looked at the lunch box in the young man's hand in disbelief, her right hand pointed to the white rice and green vegetable leaves in the lunch, and her voice, which had become slightly hoarse because of the damage, unconsciously sharpened, "That woman took a hundred yuan, and she actually called for such a meal?" Obviously, this meal is no more than five yuan at most......"
Five yuan for food, ninety-five yuan for travel expenses, that nurse's heart is really dark.
But this is not the most important, the key thing is that this teenager is only fifteen or sixteen years old, it is the time to grow his body, and there are too few big fish and meat every day, but this nurse actually only gives this child green vegetable leaves......
"You, you eat this every day?" Seeing that the young man skillfully picked out a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, Xu Rongrong asked with some distress.
"It's not counting, I'll eat meat once in a while, but I have to pay two hundred yuan." The young man lowered his head and smiled shyly, and under his palm-sized little face was a deep clavicle fossa, Xu Rongrong felt distressed for a while, obviously a baby that should be held in the palm of his hand, but he was abused so much that he couldn't even eat meat.
"Those abominable nurses." Xu Rongrong lowered his head, not letting his moist eye sockets be discovered. She sniffled slightly as she scolded the nurses.
Fortunately, she had a bad voice, so she didn't let the boy check the clues.
But Zhan Yiyang keenly discovered her misty eyes, but he didn't say anything, just hugged Xu Rongrong tightly and gave her warmth and strength.
After about three minutes, Xu Rongrong calmed down and made her moist eyes dry, she raised her head, looked at the young man gently, and said softly, "The rice is not delicious, let's try the meat in the chicken soup, Sister-in-law Ming's stew is delicious." ”
After speaking, Xu Rongrong pushed the thermos cup in front of the young man.
The young man was slightly stunned, and his black eyes were soon covered by a layer of crystal, because his skin was very fair, so it was obvious to see his red eyes.
Xu Rongrong was stunned, she didn't expect that just such a light sentence would make the young man's eyes red.
"Don't cry, be obedient, hurry up and eat chicken, it's going to be cold." Looking at the young man's red eyes, Xu Rongrong said with a reluctant smile.
"Yes." The young man nodded, lowered his head and put down the lunch box in his hand, then picked up the thermos cup and ate the chicken bite by bite.
Xu Rongrong stared at the young man eating, but unexpectedly saw ripples in the chicken soup, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"You, you're all right." Xu Rongrong tilted his head and asked with some concern.
"Nope." The boy replied in a low voice, his slightly hoarse voice revealing that he was crying.
After Xu Rongrong was stunned, he pulled out a tissue in a panic and handed it to the young man.
The boy took the tissue, and instead of wiping his tears, he held the tissue in his hand and said nothing.
Xu Rongrong didn't speak, just kept looking at him gently.
After a long time, the young man's thin lips opened lightly, and he said a word lightly, which made Xu Rongrong burst into tears instantly.
He said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious." ”RV
