Chapter 108 The Real World: Visiting the Sick
Chapter 108 The Real World: Visiting the Sick
Is it really because I'm getting old?
Why did Su Jinyue act like nothing happened when she came several times last night, and even get up early this morning to make breakfast?
Fu Cinian ate his meal absentmindedly, wondering if he should increase his exercise. When he looked up, he saw several takeout boxes on the table and couldn't help but ask.
"What are these takeout boxes for?" Fu Cinian asked, then realized that they were probably prepared for Su Jinyue's younger brother.
Su Jinyue enthusiastically introduced her morning's achievements to Fu Cinian.
"These are all the breakfasts I made for Jinshi: congee with preserved egg and lean pork, steamed buns, pumpkin pancakes..."
The thermos contains soy milk. I haven't spent enough time with Jinshi, so I don't know what he likes to eat, and I made a little extra..."
Fu Cinian lost his appetite. He hadn't spent much time with Su Jinyue, so why hadn't she been so attentive to him?
He looked down at the breakfast on the table, which was exactly the same as the takeout box, so he was just picking it up casually?
Fu Cinian looked at Su Jinyue, who was still rambling on, and couldn't help but interrupt her: "So, you got up so early just to prepare breakfast for your younger brother?"
Su Jinyue nodded, puzzled, and asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Hearing her affirmative answer, Fu Cinian felt even more annoyed, but he wasn't the type to lose his temper over a little jealousy.
He simply said "Oh," and continued eating his breakfast as usual.
Su Jinyue found Fu Cinian's reaction a bit strange. He seemed normal, but Su Jinyue had lived with him for 7 years in her previous life, so she naturally knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment.
If it were in her past life, Su Jinyue would feel uneasy and afraid when Fu Cinian was angry.
But through their time together yesterday, Su Jinyue vaguely understood Fu Cinian's logic.
After connecting today's events with Fu Cinian's words, Su Jinyue began to understand.
Su Jinyue secretly glanced at Fu Cinian, wanting to laugh. She never expected that Fu Cinian would also be jealous!
Just before leaving, Su Jinyue suddenly leaned closer to Fu Cinian, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the corner of his lips. Then, looking into his eyes, she said, "I make breakfast not only for Jinshi, but also so that you can eat breakfast made by my own hands."
Fu Cinian's lips curled up, but he quickly suppressed it. He turned his head slightly, avoiding Su Jinyue's gaze, and said insincerely, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm leaving."
With that, Fu Cinian picked up the takeout box and walked out of the house first.
Su Jinyue blinked behind her. Okay, although it felt awkward, at least she wasn't angry anymore.
……
Since there was no official business today, Fu Cinian didn't call a driver and drove himself.
Upon entering Kyoto Hospital, Fu Cinian walked ahead, subconsciously heading towards the inpatient department. However, he suddenly remembered something and hesitated, stopping as if waiting for Su Jinyue to lead the way.
Su Jinyue didn't notice Fu Cinian's unusual behavior. Since Fu Cinian had never been to the hospital, he naturally didn't know where his brother's ward was.
"This way, come with me."
Su Jinyue led Fu Cinian toward the elevator in the inpatient department. Fu Cinian nodded and walked behind with a normal expression.
After Su Jinyue and Fu Cinian got married, Su Jinshi moved to a private ward. In fact, Su Jinyue only came to the ward once when she changed wards.
Upon arriving at the ward door, Su Jinyue first confirmed that it was Su Jinshi's room before opening the door and going inside.
"Jinshi, how are you feeling now? Have you eaten? I brought breakfast..."
Su Jinshi was reading a book in her hospital bed when she heard the sound and looked up at the door.
Su Jinshi is 15 years old this year, still a young boy, but he has delicate eyebrows and eyes and his features are almost perfect. Because of his illness, he is a little thin and weak, which makes people feel sorry for him as soon as they see him.
When Su Jinyue saw Su Jin looking like this, she felt a pang of heartache and guilt. She had thought that her younger brother would be better off with a new family, but who knew that his adoptive parents would start to show favoritism after having their own biological child?
If Su Jinyue had known this would happen, she would not have let him leave her. Even if it would have been more difficult, she would not have become like this now, becoming strangers because of more than a decade of missing companionship.
When Su Jinshi saw Su Jinyue enter, a smile instantly appeared on her face, like the thin mist of the morning, elusive yet possessing a hazy beauty.
"Sister, you've finally come to see me!" The boy's cool voice was filled with joy.
Su Jinyue felt a little guilty, which was unusual. Not counting the time she had been traveling through time, she hadn't come to see him for four or five days. Her younger brother had just been abandoned, and it was really inappropriate for her, his only sister, to leave for so long.
Reflecting on what she had done these past few days, Su Jinyue realized that she had spent all her time with Fu Cinian!
Moreover, there's no way I can talk about what I did. Humph, it's all Fu Cinian's fault. It's all because he's too clingy!
"Uh, it's my fault, I've been too busy these past few days and haven't had time to come see you..." Su Jinyue apologized first, then promised, "But it won't happen again, I'll come to visit you more often!"
As Su Jinyue spoke, she laid out the breakfast from the lunchbox.
Su Jinshi obediently listened to her sister's words, took a spoonful of the still slightly hot porridge, and praised Su Jinyue with a smile, "Delicious!"
Then, Su Jinshi looked at Fu Cinian, who followed Su Jinyue in, and asked hesitantly, "Sister, who is this uncle?"
"..."
Fu Cinian wondered if Su Jinshi was doing it on purpose. He was just thinking this morning about whether he was getting old, and now someone was blatantly stabbing him in the heart.
“Uh…” Su Jinyue first glanced apologetically at Fu Cinian, then turned back and explained to Su Jinshi somewhat embarrassedly, “Jinshi, I forgot to tell you, I… got married, and he is your brother-in-law, Fu Cinian.”
Su Jinshi looked at Fu Cinian, then at Su Jinyue, and lowered her head in disappointment. When she raised her head again, her eyes were slightly red.
He unconsciously put down the spoon in his hand, grabbed Su Jinyue's hand, squeezed it tightly, and asked pitifully, "Sister, you're married. You...don't you want me anymore?"
"How could I not want you?" Su Jinyue hugged Su Jinshi tightly, comforting her, "Now that I'm married, there will be one more person to love you. I will never abandon you!"
Su Jinyue thought that Su Jinshi had a bad life in the past, was sick and abandoned by her adoptive parents, which is why she felt so insecure.
Su Jinyue had a biased view of Su Jinshi; in her memory, Su Jinshi was still not properly treated, lying in bed, on the verge of death.
Therefore, she had no idea that Su Jinshi, who was embracing her at that moment, was giving Fu Cinian a smug and provocative look.
Fu Cinian scoffed coldly, "I knew this little brat was doing it on purpose!"
