Chapter Twenty-Eight: Recuperation

As you get older, your body's metabolism can't keep up, and the wound heals much slower than before.

During this time, Zhao Lei and I almost stayed in his bedroom, and to put it mildly, it was for me to recuperate with peace of mind, and if it was not good, it was to put us under house arrest.

In order to let me sleep peacefully, Zhao Lei pushed the sofa to the side of the bed, and slept with me through a gap every night. In the middle of the night, he would pull the quilt for me that I had pushed away.

"I found your room to be monotonous, with nothing at all." When I have nothing to do, I have a habit of looking around his room, looking for things in the room that can relieve my boredom.

Unlike most rich children, Zhao Lei's room does not have that kind of huge star posters, no unconventional furnishings, and even the clothes in the wardrobe are regular student attire. In the eyes of our normal people, this is nothing, from the perspective of the rich second generation, it is an outlier.

"Hehe, is there one?" Zhao Lei raised the corners of his mouth in response, "Don't you think it's very monotonous?" He also began to inspect the items in the room, "I think it's good, it's simple and comfortable." ”

Indeed, Zhao Lei's room is very clean, all kinds of things are well placed by him, although a flower placed at the window has withered, but when it thinks of its vitality, it can pour out the fragrance of nectar, this room is also a strong "home flavor".

For a moment, I seemed to understand why Zhao Lei arranged it like this... When I was a child, I lacked family affection, and my daily life would definitely try to be the same as an ordinary family, so as to make up for the gap in my heart.

"Yes, it's good to be simple, and our home will be furnished like this in the future." I followed his words and tried to avoid the more sensitive topic.

"Shall I peel a pear for you? Don't you like to eat pears? As he spoke, Zhao Lei was about to get up and go out.

"No, no, I don't have an appetite right now." Thinking of what kind of movement was outside the door, and thinking of the fierce expressions of the Zhao family's parents, I didn't worry about letting Zhao Lei out. What's more, the wound on the back of Zhao Lei's hand has not healed yet, and it is also unnecessary to peel fruit.

He moved quickly, and when I got up to pull him, all I could find was the corner of his shirt, and it left between my fingers a few seconds later. "It's okay, let's take one and supplement some vitamins." He smiled at me, his relaxed expression as if he had let his guard down on his parents.

He knew what I was worried about, so he continued, "They won't say anything, and since they all agree that you are recuperating at home, you won't be so stingy with such a trivial matter as eating fruit." ”

"That's not what I mean," I replied embarrassedly, thinking for a long time and not knowing how to open my mouth, I couldn't tell him directly, I was afraid that they would look at him strangely when he saw his parents, and make him embarrassed.

That sentence was blocked in my throat for a long time, I couldn't speak, I couldn't swallow it, and it was a stalemate for a long time, and then I changed my sentence, "I'll be with you, I've been lying in bed for several days, and if I don't go, my legs will be useless." ”

As soon as I lifted the quilt, the temperature that was clinging to my body spread into the air, and my legs shivered.

"Let's go," I propped up the bed with one hand and slowly moved to the side of the bed, and when I got out of bed, because of my usual habits, the other injured hand accidentally pressed against the bed, and in an instant, the pain of the wound tearing from the back of the hand also invaded my whole body.

"Shhh I gasped, quickly shook off my aching hand, and when I subconsciously blew with my mouth, the air flow was also blocked by the gauze.

Zhao Lei hurriedly picked up my hand, because he was injured, he didn't dare to help me rub it lightly, because it was futile to blow for me with gauze. He just stared at my hand for a moment, and then the complaining look shifted to my face. "What's the hurry, look at it! I finally raised it for a few days, but I just got a little better, and I was injured by you again. ”

Through the gauze, Zhao Lei still checked my hand decently, and along the gap during the bandage, Zhao Lei also narrowed his eyes into a slit, paying attention to the condition of the wound. "It should be fine, be careful next time!"

His hand wrapped into pig's trotters held my hand wrapped into pig's trotters, two pig's trotters of different sizes superimposed on top of each other, and that sense of happiness also grew in my heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just pay attention next time," I pulled my hand back behind my back, and pulled him forward with my other hand, "Let's go, let's go, I'll accompany you." ”

It's better to say I'm pulling him, it's better that I'm pushing him. When I offered to go out with him, he did not refuse, but he did not accept it gladly, and he moved in the direction of the door with great reluctance.

"When you see them later, you don't have to speak, remember, if you can, don't speak." Before going out, Zhao Lei stopped his steps and turned his head to tell me, looking serious, as if he was uneasy about my meeting with his parents.

"Hmm," I snorted with a muffled snort as I shut my mouth. When Zhao Lei saw that I agreed, he no longer hesitated, opened the door and walked out with me. But this nasal answer does not mean that it is mouthful, I can still speak, and I can speak if I can.

It's my third weekend in Guangzhou, and it's also the first morning of the New Year. In the Zhao family's mansion, there is no longer the smell of the year, and the relatives who live at home have also left one by one, and in the whole building, only the Zhao family's parents still have some maids and housekeepers.

New Year's flavor, is it driven away by time? Or was it destroyed by me and Zhao Lei? As I went downstairs, I looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and thought.

Some time ago, I was completely in Zhao Lei's room, eating in bed, having fun in bed, and finally going to the toilet, thinking that I could go out to see the situation, but he was also led to the "exclusive bathroom" of his room.

The surrounding environment makes me feel strange, the outside is not the same style as Zhao Lei's room, there is also a fragrance of flowers in the air, but it is not so natural, it should be the smell of air freshener, as for the carpet on the stairs and the chandelier on the roof, it is not only high-end, but also noble, which is very different from Zhao Lei's simple style.

After going downstairs, Zhao Lei pulled me straight to the kitchen, and when I passed the entrance of the living room, I caught a glimpse of Zhao's parents. They were watching the TV intently, and the sound of the TV was very quiet, so as we passed by, their attention shifted from the TV to us.

Zhao Lei walked fast and didn't pay attention to them, but I had a hurried eye with Zhao's father at that hurried moment.

"Stop," Zhao's father's voice was strengthened by the wall of the living room, and when it reached my ears, it was much louder. There was no seriousness, no anger, no extra personal feelings, except that the voice was a little louder.

Zhao Lei was also obedient, and when he heard Zhao's father speak, his feet also braked in time, and he stood motionless, waiting for Zhao's father's next instructions, "You two come here, I have something to say." ”

"I have something to say..."These four words are nothing when they come out of other people's mouths, but he is Zhao's father, Zhao Lei's biological father, and my No. 1 enemy, so that under the multi-layer folding, the weight of this sentence has also increased a lot.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Lei took my stiff hand from my side. The ten fingers are crossed, tightly interlocked, I don't know if this is to show the love between us to Zhao's father, or what.

Since the hurried meeting that night, I have never seen Zhao's father's appearance again, and since I fainted that day, I have not seen Zhao's mother's face again. It's only been a few days, and they have already aged a lot when they look at it, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if they look old, the unique rich temperament is still exposed.

"How's your recovery going?" Father Zhao raised his head at us, "It's not a big deal, it will be fine sooner or later." After Zhao Lei replied coldly, he also put the injured hand behind his back, and deliberately moved our clenched hand forward a lot.

"I didn't ask you," Zhao's father looked at me intently, and when he replied to Zhao Lei's words, his eyebrows were also a little unhappy, "I'm asking Chen Rui." How's your hand? ”

Zhao Lei increased the strength of the handshake, and the five fingers became cold under his pressure. While suggesting that I should not speak, he took the initiative to speak, "His throat is uncomfortable, and he can't speak." ”

Who would believe such a lie? Hearing such a false lie, Zhao's father also slowly turned his head to look at Zhao Lei, and Zhao Lei closed his mouth with a warning look.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt as much as the other day. It is estimated that the stitches can be removed after a few days. I raised my hand to look at the gauze on the lower surface, and I tentatively increased the strength of my lower five fingers, which was also sore.

"Humph!" Mother Zhao snorted lightly, and her eyes continued to stare at the bloody plot on the TV, her hands were clasped to her chest, and the appearance of the noble lady did not change at all.

"Since it's almost good, you should hurry up and go, where you should go. I'm not a good church here, and I don't have time to take care of you both. Father Zhao was also refreshed, and directly stated his purpose. As he spoke, he shook his hand, and with a look of disgust... Zhao Lei and I have become the plague stars he fears.

Zhao Lei was about to speak, but I raised my hand to stop him, "Xiao Lei is about to start school, and it is time to go back." Don't worry, we'll leave tomorrow without any more delays. ”

Father Zhao nodded, and continued to say to Zhao Lei, "Remember, if you walk out of this house, it has nothing to do with our Zhao family, and don't tell others that you know us in the future, I can't afford to lose that person." ”

"I know without you saying it," Zhao Lei interjected when Zhao's father paused, "In the future, whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with us." The last time you were injured by a dagger, it should be regarded as a return to us for raising you for more than 20 years! ”

It's a bit strange to cut off like this, but it's a lot better than fighting...
