Chapter 21
Shi Lei came here in the middle of the night, and Xiao Tuanzi, who had already fallen asleep, woke up immediately, staring at him unblinkingly. Shi Lei was stunned by his lifeless gaze, rubbed the goose bumps on his arm, and left at the sign of his friend.
Before going to bed, one big and one small were still far apart. When the morning sun shone into the ward, the little dumpling had already rolled into the boy’s arms, and his little hand held the boy’s shirt tightly.
At half past five, it was during the morning exercise. The boy opened his eyes under the urging of his biological clock. With a slight movement of his head, Xiao Tuanzi also woke up.
Last night, Shi Lei sent toiletries. The boy took care of himself, wiped his face and hands on the small dumpling, and squeezed toothpaste to signal him to brush his teeth. Xiao Tuanzi stared at the toothbrush with suspicious eyes, raised his head for a while, opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
[He probably wants you to help him brush it. They are all four years old, so why don’t they even have basic living abilities? ]9527 checked the parenting webpage and said in a painful tone, [Host, we may be wrong, he didn’t shut himself up after being stimulated, but just like you, with autism. You see, his apathetic eyes and mechanical movements are exactly the same as before. The symptoms may be more serious than you, and even the basic self-care ability is lacking. Han Zhuoyu was a little touched in his heart, as if he saw his young self in the gray eyes of the child. He stepped back two steps, put the toothbrush and water glass on the bedside table, and commanded coldly, “Do it yourself!”
When the child came to him when he was desperate, Han Zhuoyu knew that he had obtained the key to the child’s heart. What he should do now is not to allow him to indulge in the wilderness he lost in his heart, but to open up a path to the outside world for him and force him to move forward, just like 9527 once did.
Xiao Tuanzi closed his mouth, buried his head in his knees, and resisted silently.
Han Zhuoyu put on his coat, took the phone and walked towards the door, letting the beeping beep into a stern cry for help without looking back. Going down the stairs and standing still at the corner for a while, he went back quietly.
[Big brother don’t leave me…] The little dumpling has no expression on his face, but his eyes are red. He crawled out of bed awkwardly, ran out without wearing his shoes, and bumped into the boy who had turned back.
Han Zhuoyu stared at his bare feet blankly, one large and one small slumped in the corridor to hold each other, attracting the attention of passers-by.
“Go back!” A few minutes later, the boy uttered two words.
The little dumpling shook, ran back quickly, climbed onto the hospital bed, and looked at him eagerly.
Han Zhuoyu took a pot of hot water and wiped his gray feet with a stern face. At the same time, the crisp system prompt sounded, [ding received 20 points of gratitude from the recipient! 】【Receive so many gratitude points early in the morning, don’t be too corrupt in your life! ] 9527 happy blooming.
After wiping his feet, Han Zhuoyu handed the toothbrush to Xiao Tuanzi, meaning it was self-evident. Xiao Tuanzi obediently took it, brushed his teeth at the basin, and grinned at the end, telling the big brother to see that he strictly followed his orders.
Han Zhuoyu nodded blankly and put his legs on the window sill to do stretching exercises. Now the situation is special, it is impossible to go for a jog. Xiao Tuanzi stared at him the whole time, for fear that he would disappear in place, until Shi Lei came to deliver the breakfast.
“Oh, I seem to be a lot more energetic today!” Shi Lei was very happy to see that the child’s eyes flashed a little, no longer the lifeless look of last night.
“Breakfast.” He spread the buns, steamed buns, porridge, and pickles on the bedside table.
Han Zhuoyu walked into the bathroom and wiped his face. After he came out, he brought the porridge bowl with a straw to Xiao Tuanzi’s mouth. The little dumpling held it in both hands and drank slowly like a hamster. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the ward, and someone faintly said, “The tongue cartilage has shifted a bit, so as long as it is properly maintained, there is no major problem. The drugs injected into the body have not been detected due to the rudimentary hospital equipment, but they have not been detected. Adverse reactions…”
The speaker was the county magistrate of Fangzhong County, and his attitude was sincere and fearful. It was obvious that the identity of the person accompanying him was very unusual.
Shi Lei turned his head and looked at the door, Xiao Tuanzi and Han Zhuoyu’s cheek gang ate breakfast, showing no interest in the outside world.
The door was pushed open, and a tall man in military uniform walked in first.
Shi Lei showed a dumbfounded expression—fuck (⊙o⊙)! One wheat and two stars, lieutenant general! And it depends on the other person’s age in their early thirties! What a background? !
The visitor stared straight at the small dumpling on the hospital bed. Although it was not obvious, his steady pace was messy for a moment, and then he scanned the two teenagers very quickly with his scrutinizing eyes. This is a man who is as sharp as a blade and as hard as steel. His eagle-like eyes are extremely penetrating, making people invisible. He just stood there to freeze the surrounding air, and his body was filled with majestic, irreversible aura.
Shi Lei brushed and stood up straight, his cheeks flushed, and he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.
Han Zhuoyu opened his eyes wide, then immediately looked away, lowered his head and shrank his shoulders, and moved behind his friend without a trace. He had met this man before, and he was the second son of the Lei family in the imperial capital—Lei Ting. The year he first returned to China, Mr. Lei had his 70th birthday, and Lei Lizhen didn’t know why he was so keen to take him to a crowded place. The crowds coming and going intertwined made him panic. He wanted to find a quiet corner to hide. When he was about to push the door of a room, Thunder appeared silently, grabbing his wrist and warning, “The study is heavy,” Idlers are exempt, please leave immediately!”
The man’s blade-like eyes and cold tone are still deeply imprinted in his mind, making the young man pale.
Lei Ting was a scout, and he immediately noticed the boy’s abnormality, but he didn’t make a difference, and went straight to the bed to check his son’s situation carefully.
The child was holding the bowl and shrank into a ball, with his head buried low, wishing to dip into the porridge. A circle of gauze was wrapped around his thin neck, covering the terrible scars. This is a gesture of resistance, even if he is the child’s father, he can’t be trusted. Thunder’s eyes are dark, and he manages to control the urge to hug his son.
“Dad is here, it’s okay!” He said word by word, but felt that such a guarantee was so pale and weak. When his son was in most need of protection, he failed to appear in time, and the gap between father and son became wider and wider. I wonder if there is any possibility to fill it in this life.
He tentatively stretched out his hand, trying to touch the child’s head, but was avoided, and he had no choice but to retract it. He pursed his lips and didn’t speak for a long time, and the other people in the ward didn’t dare to say anything.
“Did you save Xiaochen?” After calming the emotions in his heart, he turned his head to look at the two teenagers.
“Yes, yes.” Shi Lei stammered.
“Thank you very much!” His slightly hoarse voice sounded extremely sincere.
Han Zhuoyu glanced up at him and quickly looked away, a flash of anxiety flashed by.
9527 complained indignantly, [I said thank you, but the system did not receive any gratitude. It is hypocritical! How could such a person give birth to Xiaozheng? Could it be that the legendary evil bamboo produces good shoots? ] Han Zhuoyu pursed his lips, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.
“Do you know me?” Although Lei Ting used interrogative sentences, his sharp eyes showed determination. The panic in the boy’s eyes aroused his vigilance. Even the housekeeper and psychologist who served Lei’s life for life could be bought and controlled by drug dealers, and he did not dare to take it lightly at this time.
The boy took a step back, his face pale.
Thunder squinted his eyes, his majestic aura suddenly intensified, making people breathless. Others didn’t even dare to open their mouths, but Shi Lei stammered, “Report, report chief, my classmate has autism and doesn’t like to talk.”
Autism? The suspicion in Thunder’s heart has not diminished, on the contrary, it has become stronger. Did you inquire about Xiaochen’s situation and show up in this manner on purpose? Similar things have happened before. He stepped forward, eagle-like narrow and long eyes locked on the pale face of the young man, not letting the slightest change in expression.
“My father is Anguoren.” The boy said in a low voice.
Thunder looked at the adjutant with questioning eyes.
“Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of City H, husband of Lei Lizhen.” The adjutant reminded him of his due diligence.
Lei Ting took a moment to think about it, and finally nodded, “It turned out to be a nephew! I will come to thank you when I have time!” The sons of Ang Guoren and Lei Lizhen are a coincidence! He thought to himself.
[Just go to the door to say thank you, but you give me a little thank you! ] 9527 was so angry that he jumped his feet.
Han Zhuoyu lowered his head and moved behind his friend, until he couldn’t even see the tall man in the corner of his eye, he felt relieved.
“Xiaochen, Dad will take you home.” The man bent down and tried to pick up his shrinking son, but he didn’t expect his son to throw away the porridge bowl suddenly, climbed out of the bed and ran to the boy’s side, holding his two short hands tightly. The young man’s trouser legs looked like he would not leave after being beaten to death.
Thunder dodges to avoid the splashing porridge, his expression is helpless and distressed. The son was injected with an unknown drug. He must take him to the nearest H City People’s Hospital for an in-depth examination and then receive corresponding treatment. But the son resisted himself so much more than before the kidnapping, he really didn’t expect it.
With each step closer, the two children in a hug took a step back, forcing him to spread his hands and show that he was harmless.
“Chief, or let’s go back with you. Your son was rescued by Han Zhuoyu. He can stick to him. He has to open one eye even when he sleeps, for fear that Han Zhuoyu is gone. With Han Zhuoyu here, he will definitely be obedient!” Shi Lei has been admiring soldiers since he was a child. At this moment, he is like a dog to solve problems for the leader, and he does not hesitate to sell all his friends.
Lei Ting pondered for a moment, and said in a seemingly polite but inconvenient tone, “Han Zhuoyu? Can you please go to City H with us. You have also seen that Xiaochen needs a full inspection. I think you should. Can understand the anxious mood of a father.”
[Dididi…] The system prompts indicate that the man really needs help.
[Let’s go back with him, just for Xiaozheng. ] 9527 said unwillingly.
Han Zhuoyu lowered his head to meet Xiao Tuanzi’s **** eyes, and finally nodded slightly.
[Ding received 1 point of gratitude from Thunder! 】
[The same father and son, why is this gap so big? ! Hundreds and thousands of gratitude are given to Xiaozheng as soon as he makes a move, OK? ] 9527 can’t help but vomit.
