DMMY Chapter 14 Forgiveness

“If it hurts and you still don’t know how to dodge, is your brain okay?” Sheng Yan was already feeling sorry, but when Qin Zigui said that, he got angry again and blurted out another curse. After cursing, he felt like he was too harsh, so he lowered his head, softened his tone a bit, and said impatiently, “Just call out to me next time. I know how to dodge.”

Qin Zigui lowered his eyelashes and replied calmly, “The alley is too narrow, and the speed of the bicycle was too fast.”

So even if he had called out to Sheng Yan, Sheng Yan might not have been able to dodge.

Understanding this, Sheng Yan felt like he had been punched lightly but heavily with cotton wool in his heart. It hurt, but he couldn’t tell which kind of pain it was. It felt stuffy, blocked, and sore.

Because Sheng Yan knew Qin Zigui too well. He was a closed-mouthed person, always enduring hunger, pain, fatigue, and hardships without a word, as if he was afraid of causing trouble to anyone. So once he said he was in pain, it must be real pain.

And without needing to say it, Sheng Yan could tell just by looking that the bicycle was probably an old one that had been used for many years. It even needed to be tied with iron wire at the front, so just being hit by the bicycle was painful enough, not to mention that when the bicycle fell, it scratched a bloody gash on his leg with the iron wire.

It would be strange if it didn’t hurt.

It serves you right for helping me block it.

Pretending to be pitiful is useless.

While thinking this, Sheng Yan didn’t want Qin Zigui to see his true emotions, so he lowered his head, tore open the fabric near Qin Zigui’s wound, and muttered, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

After saying that, he turned his head to the culprit beside him and said, “You, come with us.”

The culprit was a skinny boy who looked about eleven or twelve years old, squatting on the ground picking up scattered box lunches. When he heard Sheng Yan’s words, he raised his head in confusion and said, “Huh?”

Sheng Yan glanced at the packaging bags on the ground. “Helping with deliveries for your family?”

The boy nodded.

Sheng Yan handed him his phone. “Make a call home and tell them to remake another one and deliver it again. I’ll pay for this one. Come with us to the hospital.”

The boy hesitated to accept the phone, lowered his head, and whispered, “But I can’t afford the medical expenses.”

If the other party were an adult male and had caused Qin Zigui to be injured like this, Sheng Yan would never have let it go so easily. But unfortunately, the other party was just a child. Sheng Yan’s stomach was full of anger that he couldn’t find anyone to vent it on, and he felt uncomfortable because of the other party’s appearance, so he tried hard to restrain himself from sounding too harsh. “I didn’t ask you to pay. We’re just going to check to see if there are any injuries, and you don’t have to pay for the check-up. Hurry up, help me hold the cat.”

As Sheng Yan spoke, he threw the cat and his phone to him, then stood up, supported Qin Zigui’s arm on his shoulder, and used one hand to support his waist, while the other hand automatically reached into his pocket to grab his phone.

Qin Zigui instinctively moved back a bit.

Sheng Yan impatiently pushed his hand back. “Don’t move around. I’m not going to eat you!”

Qin Zigui wasn’t worried about Sheng Yan eating him, but when Sheng Yan’s hand reached into his pocket and fumbled near the root of his thigh through the thin fabric of his school pants, it was even more unbearable than if he were eaten by him.

And because the pocket where his phone was located was on the other side, and Sheng Yan had to support him, it was particularly inconvenient to retrieve it. After slipping back and forth a few times, Qin Zigui couldn’t help but coolly say, “Actually, I can do it myself.”

Sheng Yan: “…”

Oh right, Qin Zigui’s hands weren’t disabled.

He casually withdrew his hand. “Then do it yourself. By the way, ask the weasel for a day off, so he won’t scold me again.”

His tone was perfectly normal, showing that he didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Qin Zigui glanced at him, then looked away, took out his phone expressionlessly, and said in a cold and indifferent tone.

Just now, he still wanted to get along well with Sheng Yan as before, but he began to regret it a bit.

Because straight men were terrifyingly clueless creatures.

Especially a straight man who had grown up with him since childhood, had gotten used to various intimate interactions with him, and it is simply torture.

However, the straight man himself was not aware of this. He was just afraid that he would cause Qin Zigui to fall if he failed to hold him steady, so he involuntarily tightened his waist a little tighter and squeezed it unintentionally with his palms.

On a hot summer day, when the boy’s hot body temperature and skin touch came through the extremely thin fabric of the school uniform, Qin Zigui took a heavy breath uncontrollably.

Sheng Yan immediately turned his head, frowned, and asked very worriedly: “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

Qin Zigui felt his breath tickling his ears. He calmly said without changing his expression, “It’s nothing, it just hurts.”

An injury that could make Qin Zigui say it hurts twice must not be a minor injury.

So during the entire examination, Sheng Yan sat beside him and was extremely nervous. He stretched his neck, poked his head, clenched his fists tightly, and dug his nails deeply into his palms. His butt almost couldn’t touch the chair. It looked like he was the one who was injured. Like that person.

The nurse next to her suppressed a smile and said comfortingly: “Little classmate, don’t worry, your friend is fine. Don’t worry like this.”

Sheng Yan, who was directly exposed by the nurse, turned red for a moment. He looked away embarrassedly and sat back down: “Who is worried about him? It’s not a big deal for a grown man to get some flesh injuries…”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Zigui on the side took a breath of air. Sheng Yan, who had just sat back down, straightened up immediately and asked anxiously: “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Is it serious?”

The nurses and doctors finally couldn’t help it and laughed out loud: “So this is just a matter of not worrying. Okay, I have learned a lot.”

Even Qin Zigui, who was already in pain and had beads of sweat all over his forehead, couldn’t hold back, lowered his head and slightly bent his lips.

Sheng Yan who realized that he was completely exposed: “…”

Why is Qin Zigui so cunning!

Seeing that this handsome little boy’s ears turned red instantly, the nurse sisters couldn’t bear to tease him anymore, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, all the wounds have been treated, and the tetanus has also been taken. As long as you pay attention to the wound cleaning later.” , change the dressing on time, don’t touch the water, don’t exert force, and avoid infection and inflammation, there will be no big problem.”

Sheng Yan thought about it, Jiang Ping was on a business trip recently, Qin Ru also had to go to the company every day, and it was inconvenient for her to take care of certain things of Qin Zigui, so the only person left was…

Before he finished thinking, Qin Zigui said calmly: “Just tell me what you need to pay attention to. I can do it myself.”

“That’s not possible.” The nurse didn’t even think about it. “You were hit on the back of your waist. You need to apply cold compresses on time, and then change to hot compresses after two days. How can you do it alone? And the medicine on your legs also needs to be changed on time. You can’t use too much force when taking shower. How can you do it without someone taking care of you?”

Qin Zigui’s expression did not change. He lowered his head and rolled up his trouser legs, and said in a calm tone: “My family has been busy recently, and no one is available to care of me. Besides, I have been used to it since I was a child, so I should be able to handle it…”

“I should be a ghost.” Sheng Yan couldn’t stand hearing it anymore and rolled his eyes at him, “Am I not a human?”

Qin Zigui just lowered his eyelashes and whispered: “You still don’t want to pay attention to me, right?”

“?”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the doctors and nurses in the clinic looked at Sheng Yan.

Suddenly, he was condemned by conscience and judged by morality: “…”

Why does he suddenly feel like a scumbag?

He has indeed not forgiven Qin Zigui yet, because he always feels that Qin Zigui has not confessed the real reason to him.

But after all, it was because of him that Qin Zigui showed up at the fried chicken restaurant, chased the cat, appeared in the alley, and was hit by a bicycle. So, logically speaking, he didn’t do it himself. Taking care of Qin Zigui is a bit unjustifiable.

But he didn’t want to forget it so unclearly, so he kept a straight face, ignored Qin Zigui, and just looked directly at the nurse, “Tell me all the precautions. I live with him and I will take care of him. “

“Oh.” The nurse seemed to understand something. While writing down the precautions, she asked, “Your Ge? Are the two brothers getting into trouble?”

Sheng Yan: “…”

If you insist on saying so, there is no problem.

“So be it.”

“Okay, here are the precautions and medication instructions. Just follow the above. There are no other problems. After another half hour of observation, you can go home directly.” The head nurse handed him the list.

Sheng Yan took the order, put it carefully into his pocket, and asked, “Where is the other boy who came with us?”

“Oh, he just scratched his knee a little, nothing happened. He is sitting on the bench outside with his cat in his arms, waiting for you.”

Sheng Yan nodded, turned to look at Qin Zigui: “Wait for me here for a while, I’ll go take care of something.”

After saying that, they quickly walked out of the clinic. As soon as they came out of the corridor, they saw the little boy holding the cat and sitting on the chair, waiting for them.

Sheng Yan walked over and patted his shoulder: “Name, phone number, home address.”

The little boy looked up blankly and said “Ah”.

Sheng Yan sat down next to him with his legs crossed, opened Taobao, and showed it to him: “Buy you a bicycle that you should ride. Otherwise, you will turn around and bump into others, others won’t be as easy to talk to as me.”

Just when the little boy was about to refuse, Sheng Yan threatened fiercely: “If you don’t accept it, I will make you pay for the medical expenses.”

The little boy could only be obedient and entered the address honestly on the back of the bicycle Sheng Yan selected.

Sheng Yan took back his phone and snorted coldly: “Now you know you are afraid, right? Will you dare to ride so fast in the future?”

The little boy nodded: “Well, I won’t ride so fast in the future. But I’m not afraid.”

“Aren’t you afraid yet?”

Sheng Yan felt that this little kid simply deserved a beating.

But the little boy explained seriously: “I’m not afraid of Gege. Gege, you just have a loud voice, big eyes, and you look fierce. In fact, you are not scary at all.”

Classmate Sheng Yan, the tyrant of the real school who thinks he is powerful everywhere: “…”

The little kids have absolutely no sense of right and wrong.

Before he could refute, the little kid spoke first: “But Gege, you better not pretend to be so fierce in the future.”

Sheng Yan raised his eyebrows.

The little boy said seriously, “You obviously care a lot about the other Gege, but you insist on scolding him. If you keep scolding him, he’ll definitely be upset.”

“Huh, I don’t care about him.”

Sheng Yan leaned back on the back of the chair, turned his head away, looking arrogant.

Then the little boy frowned slightly, “Gege, you’re so childish.”

Sheng Yan: “…”

“And I didn’t lie to you. When I rode my bike over, I saw it. You were walking in front, and Gege was behind, looking at you with a very sad expression. Did you guys have a fight?” The little boy held the cat, bent over, turned his head to look at Sheng Yan’s face, and blinked twice.

Sheng Yan’s hand on the back of the chair stiffened for a moment.

So Qin Zigui could feel sad too.

He had been feeling aggrieved for the inexplicable estrangement from him over the past year, always caring about why Qin Zigui suddenly distanced himself, but never thought about whether Qin Zigui might be upset when facing danger or whether his coldness and anger might make Qin Zigui sad.

Thinking about Qin Zigui’s possible expression of sadness, Sheng Yan suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

He put his mind back and patted the little boy’s head gently: “Okay, you’re just a kid. Why are you thinking so much all day long? Go home quickly and don’t let the adults worry.”

After speaking, he took the cat back from the boy’s hands, turned around, and walked back.

However, just as he reached the door of the clinic, he stopped abruptly.

Inside, there was a familiar gentle voice, probably Qin Ru who had finally arrived after receiving the news.

Her voice sounded a little choked with distress, “Why are you so careless, my child? It must hurt so much. What if it leaves a scar?”

Qin Zigui, as calm as ever, replied, “Don’t worry, Auntie, I’m fine. The doctor said I’ll be able to move normally in two or three days.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. No matter what you say, it’s okay. Can’t you just act a little spoiled like other kids when you’re hurt and upset?” Qin Ru sounded genuinely sad this time.

Qin Zigui gently comforted her with kind words, then said, “Auntie, can I discuss something with you?”

Qin Ru didn’t hesitate, “Go ahead.”

“Can we keep a cat at home?”

“?”

Qin Zigui’s words stunned both Qin Ru inside the room and Sheng Yan outside.

Qin Zigui continued, “It’s probably a three or four-month-old little orange cat. I’ll take care of its health check-up, vaccination, teach it to use the litter box, feed it, and clean up its fur and litter. It won’t cause any trouble for you and Uncle.”

“No, why are you suddenly asking about this?” Qin Ru seemed puzzled, “Your uncle and I actually both like cats, but you’ve always disliked keeping pets, right? You always said they can’t stay with you for too long and it’s easy to get sad if you keep them.”

Because Mrs. Xu didn’t allow Sheng Yan to keep pets when he was young, Sheng Yan begged Qin Zigui to help him raise two hamsters, a small rabbit, and a little turtle, but none of them survived. So Qin Zigui didn’t want to keep pets anymore.

He said they always leave, so there’s no need to bring them.

Since then, neither family has kept pets.

Why suddenly want to keep one now?

Could it be because he was charmed by the little cat?

Sheng Yan stared at the little orange cat in his arms, trying to silently ask it, “What charm do you have?” Then a faint voice came from inside, “Because Sheng Yan likes it.”

Sheng Yan froze, looking at the little orange cat’s eyes, which seemed to be silently questioning him back.

But the people inside were unaware and continued to explain, “Sheng Yan really likes that little cat, but Auntie Xu is allergic to cat fur and can’t keep it. I’m afraid if it’s allowed to roam outside, it might run away, and Sheng Yan would be sad, so I thought I could help him take care of it. Is it okay, Auntie?”

Qin Zigui had always been the most sensible child since he was young.

Because he knew he was a guest, he almost never made any extra requests.

If he did, without exception, they were all related to Sheng Yan.

Qin Ru sighed heavily at the door, “You, when Sheng Yan said he’d buy you back for three yuan and twenty cents, you really were bought back by him. This deal was really worth it.”

Outside the door, Sheng Yan lowered his head and looked at the little orange cat in his arms, half stunned. After a while, he tentatively asked, “Can I temporarily forgive him for a few days for your sake?”

The little orange cat turned its head lazily, completely ignoring him.

Then Sheng Yan reluctantly nodded, “Fine, since you’re trying so hard to persuade me, I’ll reluctantly agree for now.”

The silent little orange cat was shocked and turned its head back.

Sheng Yan covered it’s eyes guiltily, “Don’t look at me. All the decisions made by adults are for the children, and I’m just temporarily forgiving him. It’s not like I’m betraying anyone.”

Just temporarily forgiving him.

And he couldn’t tell Qin Zigui, or this annoying bird would start showing off and acting like it had control over him again.

Thinking like this, Sheng Yan made up his mind and took out his phone, opening the “Wish Fulfillment” app’s message board, and typed: [Can I withdraw my wish to leave the Feng Shui Treasure Land and make a new one?]

The system replied quickly: [Host, please command.]

Sheng Yan, with no expression on his face, typed a few words: [I hope Qin Zigui’s injury will heal quickly and not hurt so much.]

Just temporarily forgiving him like this, and nobody knows anyway.

Sheng Yan felt that he was very cold.

But on the other side of the door, Qin Zigui’s phone made a “ding” sound.
