"So, you think I'm meddling too much?" Huo Chuan's voice suddenly grew cold.
"No, that's not what I mean..." Cen Sidu pursed his lips, unsure of how to explain himself.
Huo Chuan shifted his gaze away from his face and happened to see Xiao Liu, who had returned after registering.
For more than an hour afterwards, Huo Chuan stayed with Cen Sidu in the hospital, accompanying him as he received an intravenous drip.
During this time, Huo Chuan asked Xiao Liu to buy breakfast and bring it in.
After watching Cen Sidu finish his meal, Huo Chuan's complexion improved somewhat.
Coming out from the hospital, it was already late.
Cen Si Du's complexion has improved a lot. He says that he is going to a sanatorium now.
Huo Chuan "Hmm"ed and nodded, saying, "Get in the car, I'll take you."
"No need to accompany me back and forth. You must have work to do. I can go by myself," Cen Sidu still felt a little uncomfortable having someone follow him around all the time, especially Huo Chuan.
"Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to go see Grandma? Isn't this just on the way?"
Cen Si opened his mouth, but he was at a loss for words.
After getting on the car, Cen Sichu turned his head to look out of the window.
The sky has been gloomy all along, not knowing if it's going to rain.
Fortunately, today's sun is not as blazing as yesterday, and the temperature is much lower than yesterday.
Cen Sidu felt lazy all over his body, so he leaned his head against the car window.
Huochuan handled work matters with his phone, while out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Censi Du's movements and asked, "Du, feeling tired?"
"I feel a bit unenergetic."
Huo Chuan put down his phone and asked, "After going to the sanatorium later, do you want me to take you home to rest?"
"No need, I still have to go deliver takeout."
At this time usually, he has already delivered several orders of takeout. He has never experienced a day like today before.
I also managed to steal a lazy moment.
"Stardu, delivering takeout is truly exhausting. How about you come to my company instead?"
Hearing Huo Chuan's words, Cen Si Du couldn't help but smile, a faint smile appearing on his face. "I don't know anything. Why would I work at your company?"
Seeing that his mood had improved a bit, Huo Chuan spoke with a smile in his eyes, "As long as you're willing to come, I can teach you anything. You can do anything."
Cen Sidu turned his head and looked at Huo Chuan with bright eyes, a full smile on his face. "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm already thirty years old. It's too late for me to learn anything now."
"How come you're already thirty when your thirtieth birthday isn't here yet?" Huo Chuan reached out and pressed his head against his own shoulder. "If you're tired, take a nap for a while."
Smelling the woody scent emanating from his body, Cen Si Du obediently leaned against his shoulder. When she spoke again, her voice became softer, indicating a slight tiredness, "You've done so much for me, to the point where I don't know how to repay you anymore."
What he was referring to wasn't just about what happened yesterday and today.
Thirteen years ago, even the most trivial matters.
For example, during naptime, I pull the curtains to block the sun for him, I also bring him breakfast in the morning, and I diligently go through practice questions with him.
Even when others ignore him and marginalize him, Huo Chuan still says that he is his best friend.
But sometimes, Cen Sidu also finds him quite annoying.
For example, he always keeps words like "like" and "love" on the tip of his tongue.
The first time Censford heard these words, his face turned red and he was at a loss for what to do.
Having heard it countless times, Cen Sid
In his heart, Cen Sidu believed that when Huo Chuan said he liked him, it was just a casual joke he made.
However, he did not expect that, thirteen years later, Huo Chuan would still be like this towards him.
Huochuan, who had already grown up, still treated him like this.
He should keep his distance from him, Cen Sidu thought.
However, I have always been a person full of contradictions.
After arriving at the sanatorium, Huo Chuan went in with him.
The old man sat on the bed, and when Cen Sidu pushed the door open and entered, she didn't react.
"Nana?" Cen Sidu felt a little worried and quickly walked over.
The old man suddenly snapped back to reality and when he realized that the person in front of him was Cen Sidu, his expression changed slightly. "Du Du, you've come?"
"Um, I'm here." Jian Sidu, still in shock, was on the verge of breaking into a cold sweat. He thought something bad had happened.
Huo Chuan, who was standing behind Zhan Censi, noticed that something was wrong. He asked softly, "Zhan Censi, what's the matter?"
"I'm fine," he shook his head, then a smile appeared on his face as he said to the old lady, "Grandma, Huo Chuan has come to see you."
Huo Chuan walked forward and said, "Grandmother."
After many years had passed, the elderly person did not recognize him for a moment. They furrowed their brow and pondered, "This is...?"
Huo Chuan sat down on the chair beside the sickbed, so that the elderly person could see more clearly. "Grandma, I'm Huo Chuan, a high school classmate of Sidu. I used to often come to your house to play. Do you remember?"
"Huo Chuan?" The old man repeated his name aloud, then suddenly realized, "It's Xiao Chuan, huh? Oh my! I could barely recognize you!"
"Grandma, it's me." Huo Chuan chuckled and said, "Your memory is impressive. I didn't expect you to still remember."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Once you mentioned being Du Du's high school classmate, I knew it. Du Du, that child, didn't have many friends, but back then, he was close to you. The two of you would do everything together."
"Yeah, I have the best relationship with Sito," Huo Chuan turned his head and glanced at Cen Sito, who was taking the pastries out of the food box.
"Xiaochuan, I heard from Dudu that you went abroad? When did you come back? Now that you're back, are you going out again? If you go out, Dudu will be unhappy again." The old person tightly held onto Huo Chuan's hand, brimming with joy.
"I won't go out again, I will stay in Yangcheng." After hearing what Grandma said in the second half of the sentence, Huo Chuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandma, you said if I go abroad, Stu wouldn't be happy? Why wouldn't he be happy?"
At that time, Dudu would...
"Nana!" Cen Sidu, holding pastries, hurriedly interrupted his grandmother's words as she walked over, "It's not because of Huo Chuan... please don't say anything."
"Alright, no more talking." The old man nodded, his face beaming with a smile.
Huo Chuan felt curious when he was interrupted. He looked at Cen Si Du as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, "What were you doing back then? Why didn't you let Grandma finish speaking?"
Cen Sidu blushed slightly and sat on the edge of the bed, holding a pastry. "Not much," he said to the elderly lady, "Grandma, I brought some horse-hoof cakes today, please try them."
"Sure, give it a try." With that, the old man reached out to take it.
"Grandma, only eat half of it at most. It's not good to eat too much," Cen Saidu reminded.
"Okay." As soon as the words fell, the elderly person took a bite of the horseshoe cake.
