Chinese New Year's Eve, ten o'clock sharp.

Deserted hospital corridors with incandescent lamps that keep you awake all night. Because of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no one except for a few nurses on duty who occasionally walked around.

The heating was blowing, but Taurag felt cold.

"The injured person has injured the dermis, which is a deep second-degree burn, and it takes 3~4 weeks for the wound to heal, and it will leave scars."

The doctor's brief diagnosis just now made Taurag feel suffocating despair.

So small children face the blow of disfigurement. And after recovery, Lu Xining, arms and legs, is very likely to have no chance to see the light of day in his life.

Now they have been drugged and are resting in their hospital beds.

Taurag had to pick up his cold phone.

A mobile phone belonging to Lu Xining.

Notify the family.

In the contact bar, she pressed the name of "my dearest brother".

"Hey, Chief Lu Xi. I'm Taurag. ”

Taurag, who hung up the phone, collapsed on the blue plastic chair as if he had lost all his strength.

She wished that this night was just a terrifying dream.

If you don't wake up, it's all fake.

But the child's heart-rending cry pulled her back to reality.

Taulag rushed back to the hospital room and softly comforted the startled child.

His entire head was tightly wrapped, except for the small eyes, nose, and mouth.

After a while, he fell asleep obediently.

Lu Xining was wearing a wide hospital gown, with messy curly hair, and sat silently on the bed.

Now that the tragedy has been caused, I am afraid that asking the cause will make Lu Xining sad.

Calm down, Taurag thought.

"Lu Xining, what else do you want?"

Without warning, the door to the ward was kicked open.

The person who came looked grim and suppressed his anger.

Lu Xichang's first reaction when he learned that his sister was burned was not panic, not worry, but anger.

Such a gentle person would have such extreme emotions.

Taulag silently pulled the child into his arms.

"As soon as I got home from work, Gao's mother said that you went out, and I can't wait for you for Chinese New Year's Eve. Okay, I called Wei Liyu, and she said that she was not with you, but you gave her a call!

She said you suddenly inquired about the itinerary of the research team in her sister's hospital!

Lu Xining, when did you become so familiar with Wei Liyu's sister? What does the itinerary of the research team of other college students have to do with you?

Is it because of Jianghai? He's on that team!

Did you understand that they were going to eat hot pot at the hot pot restaurant in Rongcheng tonight, what stupid things did you do again, how did you make yourself like this, why are you still unrepentant? ”

"Brother, that's enough! You don't say any more. It was all an accident. It was my slippery foot that accidentally spilled the red soup on me and the child.

It has nothing to do with Jiang Hai. He's ...... tonight I didn't go to dinner at all. ”

Listening to his sister's stubborn argument, Lu Xichang's eyes were stained with pain, and his voice changed from anger to regret, "You didn't go because of him!" You always don't listen, what did you say last time? Are you going to destroy yourself with your own hands, for the sake of someone who is not worth it at all?

Are you so selfish that you don't even think about your parents? ”

"Brother, I really accidentally burned myself...... You didn't tell them, did you? ”

"Tell them how filial they are to their good daughters, and how they destroy themselves step by step."

"Brother ̅ ̅ ̅Why don't you believe me, it's an accident."

"Being burned will leave a scar, it will never get better! Xi Ning, why don't you take good care of yourself? ”

Lu Xichang finally spoke his heart and slammed his fist on the wall, "Brother hates people to destroy himself at will...... Do you know Jining? ”

"Wow ̅ ̅"

The sleeping child woke up again, crying.

"Good, obedient. Don't cry. ”

Taurag, who had figured out the cause and effect, stiffened his hand to smooth the back of the crying child.

So that's it...... Who is that person named Jiang Hai, is it...... The last time Lu Xining was drunk, it was also related to him?

"Hey, who's going to pay the medical bills?"

The nurse who suddenly appeared at the door was startled by the eerie atmosphere in the ward.

"Please keep the room quiet and quiet."

A good sense of duty made the nurse speak out to warn the two who were arguing.

Taulag nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, right away." ”

Chief Lu Xi left the ward with the nurse without saying a word.

"Jianing, is that really the case? Did you come to the hot pot restaurant because Jiang Hai was coming, and then there was an accident? ”

Taurag pondered.

Lu Xining choked up and nodded.

"Xi Ning."

Taulag's nose was sour, "You're so stupid, really, it's good if you don't come." It wouldn't have happened. ”

Lu Xining shook his head and said in a nonchalant voice, "I don't regret it." ”

"But you know ...... So what about this little kid, it's completely ......"

Taulag remembered that miserable face and couldn't go on.

"It's all my fault, no matter how much money I spend, I will heal his face."

At the mention of this innocent child, Lu Xining felt guilty.

It's really hard for a girl who has almost suffered the same catastrophe.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Xichang returned.

Carry a few cups of steaming millet porridge.

Anger and irritability completely disappeared from the man's face. It's just heaviness and tiredness that envelops that handsome face.

Lu Xi put down the millet porridge without a sound and sat on the chair next to his sister's bed.

"What did the doctor say, can the wound be fully recovered?"

Lu Xichang finally returned to his normal status as an older brother, and asked about his sister's injury with worry and anxiety.

Rather than blindly blaming the causes.

"It's going to take a couple of weeks."

Lu Xining answered the question, and his voice had a sense of pretending to be strong.

"Xi Ning, I will take care of you while you are in the hospital." Taulag said distressedly.

"This little kid ̅ ̅" Lu Xichang just focused all his attention on his sister, and now realized that there was another victim, who seemed to be younger and more seriously injured, "We will take full responsibility, but what about his parents?" ”

"There were no adults at the time of the accident."

Taulag was a little embarrassed and said, "Could he be lost with his parents?" Otherwise, if he was so badly scalded in the hot pot restaurant, no one would have taken care of him. ”

"It's a bit tricky to have no guardian."

"I can take care of him together." Taulag hurriedly said.

"It's not a foolproof solution. If the child is injured and the parents are not notified immediately, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future. When he gets better, you ask him what his name is, and I'll ask someone to go to the police station to check it. ”

"O'...... Good. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

Because of anxiety, Lu Xi's long eyebrows were very depressed, but when he said this to Taolag, he tried to make his face as gentle as possible.

"I can't hire a nurse at such a special time tonight, and I'm here to watch. Taurag, you should go back for the New Year, or your parents should be worried. Is it okay for you to go back alone? ”

Lu Xi asked Taurag.

Lu Xining also hurriedly said, "Gezi, go home quickly, blame me...... Delay your move to a new home. ”

The tone is sad and guilty.

"No, I'm okay with Xi Ning. Anyway, no one is waiting for me in my new home ̅ ̅ This year is over, but what does it matter? I'm going to stay here with you. What's more, I don't worry about this little child. ”

Tao Lag showed a warm and healing smile and comforted Lu Xining.

Such a clean smile diluted the gloom on Lu Xichang's face, and his heart even flushed with soft pain.

Lu Xichang felt that there was no one worse than his sister and him tonight.

But Taurag himself said that no one at home was waiting for her, and she went back for the New Year.
