twenty-fourth
1
After Aren went out to school, Wen Xuan rarely went out to sea. He repaired the inside and outside of the bamboo shed, planning to install some new things. When he was cleaning the wooden cabinet, he found a moldy old photo. The person in the photo was sitting on the porch, staring at him and smiling. At that time, the roses in the courtyard were blooming.
Wen Xuan pinched the photo and stared at it. He had already forgotten the time and could not remember when it was. The person in the photo was looking at him without giving him any hint. He sighed, rubbed his eyes, and stuffed the photo into his arms.
At this moment, Wen Gui ran in with disheveled hair. There was a green lump on her face. One of her eyes was black and swollen. He looked flustered.
"What happened?" Wen Xuan asked.
"Don't worry about me. Now, hurry to the beach and bring Yongnian back. Don't let him get on the island.”Wen Gui said.
"What exactly happened?" Wen Xuan asked. He turned around, opened the drawer, and took out the medicine.
"Don't worry about me. Just go quickly.”Wen Gui pushed the medicine away and said.
"If that kid did it, I'll chop off his hand. This bastard." Wen Xuan said.
"Brother, let's not talk about this first. Go and stop him." Wen Gui approached Wen Xuan and looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
"Xiao Gui, how long are you going to protect this guy? He's just like a child." Wen Xuan turned around and took the bottle of medicine. He opened the lid and said," Did he hit you?" Isn't that right?"
"Hurry up. This is the last time. Please stop him. He knew that I was still in contact with that person, so he took the gun and went to the island. Hurry up and help him." Wen Gui said.
"What do you want me to do?" Wen Xuan shook off Wen Gui's hand and said," Are you going to do those evil things?" I won't interfere in your matters. This is his own choice."
"This time, you must interfere. There were other people on the island. This time, he would definitely meet with misfortune. As long as he made a move, the others would not let him off. He might not be able to come back." Wen Gui said.
"He chose that path himself." Wen Xuan said.
Seeing that Wen Xuan was still unhurriedly mixing the medicine, Wen Gui hurriedly took the cup on the table and smashed it. The porcelain piece shattered a little. Wen Xuan turned around and realized that she had already pressed the porcelain piece against her neck.
"Brother, you know what I will do.”Wen Gui said. Tears as big as beans kept falling. Ever since she was young, she had always used this method to make her family submit to her. Moreover, she always succeeded. Therefore, she was now using her old tricks to threaten him with her life.
"Little Gui, are you doing this again?”Wen Xuan said.
"This is the only way. If you don't go, I'll make a move. The result will be the same anyway." Wen Gui said.
"He won't die. Don't be silly." Wen Xuan said.
"I know the situation best.”Wen Gui pressed the porcelain piece and said.
The porcelain piece pressed tightly against the artery on her neck. Her fair skin was dyed red.
"Why are you doing this?" Helpless, Wen Xuan turned around and ran out of the house.
There was no one on the beach. A few fishing boats were floating in the shallow sea. The chandelier flickered.
Wen Xuan steered the boat and headed towards the small island. The sea breeze blew against his face. He wrapped his clothes tightly and regretted not bringing any self-defense weapons. Now, even a small knife was a great comfort to him.
2
The small island was surrounded by dense fog. The wet rocks protruded out and were filled with water vapor.
Wen Xuan brought the boat closer to the shore and went ashore. He dashed into the dense forest. The few huts on the island were the trading dens, but he did not know the exact location. He gently pushed away the branches in front of him and noticed a faint light in front of him.
The dog was barking.
After a few gunshots, screams could be heard.
Wen Xuan stood still and cursed himself in his heart for being so careless. Now, he was like a wolf in a tiger's den. It was very likely that he could not save people like this. In addition, his own life would be in danger. However, he thought about it. Liu Yongnian was a cautious person. He would not act rashly without full confidence. Even if he was really angry and wanted to make a move, he would make plans first. Thinking of this, his confidence returned. He pushed the branches aside and continued to walk towards the place where there was light.
Someone ran out of the house with a gun. The man's face was bleeding.
A few dogs rushed up and barked. The man raised his gun and fired. The dog head exploded in the air.
The air was filled with the smell of blood. The blood color in the surroundings was heavy.
Wen Xuan recognized this person. It was Liu Yongnian. He stopped in the forest and waited for Yongnian to put down his gun. There were a few headless dog corpses lying on the ground. A few puddles of blood flowed out. Yongnian was looking around as he slowly retreated into the forest.
At this moment, a black shadow floated across the bushes in front of Wen Xuan. That person was hiding behind a tree, staring at Yongnian. He raised his gun and aimed it at Yongnian. Wen Xuan quickly stepped forward and pounced on the man. The man looked back in horror and fired a shot into the air. He struggled and twisted into a ball with Wen Xuan. Yongnian heard the gunshot and turned around to look at the swaying bushes in the dark. He raised his gun and pointed it at them.
"Don't shoot." Wen Xuan shouted.
When Yongnian heard Wen Xuan's voice, he was shocked and gripped his gun.
The two of them fought and rolled through the thorny bushes. Wen Xuan gripped the man's gun tightly, trying to pull it out. The man was pressing down on him tightly.
Yongnian walked over slowly. Under the dim light, he saw the two writhing people. He raised his gun and said,"Put down the gun and stand up."
In his panic, the man fired a shot.
Wen Xuan screamed loudly and let go of his hand. He hunched his back and hugged his injured leg.
The man ignored Wen Xuan and quickly turned around, raising his gun.
Seeing this, Yongnian fired a shot at him. The man was shot in the head, and blood spurted out. The corpse fell to the ground and worshipped Yongnian. Blood was still gushing out from the hole in his head, seemingly in an endless stream.
"You didn't have to kill him." Wen Xuan said. He could feel blood flowing out of his wound, and there was almost a hole in his waist.
"Where are you hurt?" Yongnian bent down and asked.
"On my waist." Wen Xuan said. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt like he was about to suffocate. Yongnian carried him on his back and quickly sat down in the dense forest.
"Hang in there." Yongnian said.
Wen Xuan turned his head to look at the night sky and found that the clouds were dyed red in an instant. He shook his head to wake himself up.
"If I die, you must take good care of Xiao Gui. That bullet should have been yours. Now, I'm the one who's suffering for you." Wen Xuan said.
"Shut up. If you die, Gui won't forgive me.”Yongnian said.
"Then you are wrong. If you were the one who died, Xiao Gui would never let me go.”Wen Xuan said," There's also Aren and Abu. When Abu comes back, you have to treat him better. He might take Aren away. If that was the case, then let him go. Aren was an innocent child. If he knew about this, he would not be able to accept it. If that was the case, she might as well let him stay abroad with her brother.”Wen Xuan said.
Yongnian pressed Wen Xuan on the boat, turned around, and walked to the motor.
"Can't you be gentler?" Wen Xuan cried out, looking down at the bleeding wound.
"Don't talk nonsense. Besides, I'll shoot you." Yongnian said.
The motor suddenly roared and pulled the boat back.
"Damn it. That would be the best. It was really painful. It would be better to be shot.”Wen Xuan said.
"It's better to hear your screams than your nonsense.”Yongnian said.
Suddenly, the boat slowed down. The motor rumbled a few times before it stopped.
"What happened?" Yongnian asked.
"Second-hand boat, what do you want? Do you want to drive a luxury cruise?" Wen Xuan said.
"Why are you driving this boat?" Yongnian asked.
"I'm prepared to go on a boat with you to drink and admire the moon.”Wen Xuan said.
"Sooner or later, you'll be killed by your sissy mouth.”Yongnian caressed the hull, looking for oars, and said.
"There's one more thing. Wait for me to die." Wen Xuan coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You're not dead yet." Yongnian said.
"Don't burn me. I don't want to stay in a jar. Leave a whole body. Bury me next to Xi 'er." Wen Xuan said.
"You still have a long life ahead of you? When you're better, I'll find you a bunch of chicks.”Yongnian said.
Wen Xuan laughed and coughed up blood. He felt his throat fill with blood. That fishy smell was unbearable for him. That warm current was there. He could neither swallow nor cough it out. He looked at the dark clouds in the night sky, waiting for the moment when the moonlight shone. He kept his mouth tightly shut.
Yongnian turned around and lowered his head to look at Wen Xuan. He reached out and touched his face. He wiped a handful of blood off Wen Xuan's face and was shocked. He sat on the side of the boat, looked at the cold sea, and rubbed Wen Xuan's face.
Moonlight shone down, paving a long silver road on the sea.
"I didn't die, I just finished speaking.”Wen Xuan said.
Yong Nian reached out and took a handful of seawater. He dipped it into Yong Nian's face and patted his face.
"Alright, alright. Are you going to drown me? I'm about to die, so stop tormenting me.”Wen Xuan said. He turned his head in pain and looked at the silent sea.
The faint moonlight shone on the surface of the sea, like a faint light jumping in the darkness.
At this moment, something even worse happened. On the black water surface, sharp fins that shone with a cold light emerged.
Yongnian stood up, took out his pistol, and held it tightly. The fins glided across the water surface, creating a long line of water. The shark swam closer and closer. The fish rubbed against the hull of the boat, making a popping sound.
"Don't run around. My wound hurts." Wen Xuan said. He turned his head, his eyes following the drifting fins.
Yongnian squeezed his pistol and turned around to look for the shark that had submerged into the sea.
"Such a big guy is here to send me on my way.”Wen Xuan smiled and covered his wound. He tore off the blood on his clothes and said," It's here for this." If I die, I want to leave my corpse intact. Don't let this guy off easy. Although I'm worthless as a brother, I can't.”
"Shut up." Yongnian said.
The hull of the ship shook from the impact. Yongnian fell in Wen Xuan's footsteps.
"Aiya? My baby, can you be gentler? Your wound is still hurting?" Wen Xuan shouted at the sharks in the sea. He turned his head and threw the gun that had fallen to his hand back into Yongnian's hand.
"They're almost turning into corpses. I can't die yet. At least not before it died. I couldn't go into its stomach and soak in the cold sea water. If you want to die, you have to die after it. Do you understand?”Wen Xuan said.
"Shut up. I shouldn't have rowed this stupid boat." Yongnian said. He gripped his pistol tightly and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He observed the water surface under the moonlight.
Wen Xuan smiled and spat out a mouthful of blood into the sea. He licked his stinky teeth, tore off his blood-stained coat, and threw himself into the sea.
The shark's fin was exposed from the surface of the sea. The seawater splashed. The water surface exploded and red light seeped out.
"Hurry up. Shoot it in the head twice." Wen Xuan raised his chin at the shark fin and said," Aren't you very good at killing people?”
Yongnian squeezed his pistol, took two steps back, and fired two shots into the sea. Wen Xuan turned sideways and buried his face in his arms.
The water exploded and splashed with blood. The shark was tumbling violently in the water. The fins hit the hull a few times, shattering it. The ship swayed left and right, as if it was in a state of suspension, without anyone to rely on. Wen Xuan grabbed the boat and groaned in pain, feeling his wound being torn apart. All the cracks on his body extended endlessly, and blood seeped out. He tried to close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw that the moonlight was like a pool of cold water, flowing among the dark clouds. He lowered his head and saw that Yongnian had fallen to the side of the boat. He held onto his pistol and glanced over.
The hull of the ship suffered a violent blow and almost flipped over. Wen Xuan saw the black seawater that was almost overflowing. The speckled sea was about to hit them. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face floating from the calm sea floor. Xi 'er was sitting on the porch, looking at the blooming roses in the yard. Then, she saw him and smiled. A breeze blew past, and the petals flew up. The surface of the sea wrinkled. The ship flipped over. He stared at the curved silver moon in the water as if he could no longer feel the pain. He looked down and saw the shark rush out of the water. One of the fish eyes had already exploded, and blood was seeping out. The shark was pressed against the hull of the boat, its mouth wide open as it charged towards the trembling Yongnian. The sharp shark teeth glinted. Yongnian panicked, turned around, and crawled into the boat. The shark twisted its body, causing the hull to flip continuously. It was almost about to flip over. It kept ramming forward, its white fangs almost touching Yongnian's body.
At this moment, Wen Xuan grabbed the harpoon by the side of the boat and swung it hard, stabbing it into the shark's injured eye and stabbing it in. The shark turned its head and charged at Wen Xuan. More blood spurted out from its head. Bright red blood spurted out like a water column. Wen Xuan used all his strength to stab the spear in. The speargun pierced through the other eye and revealed itself.
The shark spat out even more blood as it shook its body and struggled.
The boat was splashed with blood. The ship shook even more violently, almost flipping over and diving into the sea.
Wen Xuan supported the boat and endured the intense pain from his wound.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
The shark shook its tail fin slightly, stiffened, slid into the sea, and sank.
The ship turned around and shook slightly.
Wen Xuan sighed, feeling as if his entire person had been deflated, weak and powerless. He glanced at Yongnian, who was sitting by the side of the boat and staring blankly at the pool of blood on the boat, and turned his face away.
Dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky. The moonlight was hazy. The sea seemed to be foggy.
Wen Xuan turned around and looked at the sea below him. The flower petals were fluttering, and all kinds of colors were fading.
"What are you doing?" Yongnian hugged Wen Xuan, whose face was already close to the surface of the sea and was about to sink into the sea, and said," You must hold on."”
"You disturbed my beautiful dream." Wen Xuan said.
Yongnian straightened Wen Xuan's body, took off his coat, and covered his wound. He turned around and looked at the huge hole in the boat that had been knocked open by the shark. The wound was not very deep. However, the surging seawater was close to the opening, as if it was about to overflow.
Wen Xuan looked at the coat and said,"It's useless." The huge impact just now must have caused a lot of wounds.”
"When you speak, it will split open." Yongnian said. He lifted his clothes and wiped the bleeding wound, then used a cotton cloth to plug it.
"Are there any more bullets in the gun? Shoot me! Stop torturing me." Wen Xuan said.
Yongnian threw down his blood-stained coat and said,""The world is already ours. Just hold on for a while."
"The world will always be ours." Wen Xuan said," Also, I've never seen you so scared. Just now."
"As long as you feel better, your mouth will bubble.”Yongnian said.
"Tell me, what happened during the few days when we were guarding the corpse? Back then, we even helped out on the ship. After you came back, you didn't want to go out to sea anymore." Wen Xuan said," Are these related?”
Yongnian turned his face away and sat down, looking at the pool of blood on the boat.
"It's very likely that I'll die like this. Her entire body was cold, painful, and bleeding.”Wen Xuan said.
Perhaps this sentence touched Yongnian, or perhaps the narrow escape just now touched him. Yongnian began to talk about that matter.
"A shark. Just like earlier. It was in the water, always there, following the boat. I asked the people on the deck, but no one saw it. I was the only one who saw it and knew where it was. It had never left the ship.”Yongnian said.
"Did you throw the corpse?" Wen Xuan said.
"That's the only way to make it go. I don't know how I know what sharks want. I understood what it meant, so I did it. He couldn't get rid of that thought. It was there all the time, unable to get rid of. Only by satisfying it would it leave.”Yongnian said.
Wen Xuan followed his gaze and looked at the pool of blood. He felt a chill run down his spine. He could feel his body losing heat. He was slowly cooling down.
"It's different this time. This time, he's coming for me." Yongnian turned his head, his face red." Do you have anything else to say?"”
"This time, you really have me speechless. What else could a dying person vomit?”Wen Xuan said. He forced a smile and spat out a mouthful of blood into the sea.
"I slept on the deck. Day and night, two corpses lay beside him. There was a shark lurking in the sea, constantly reminding you what it wanted, just like a shadow. And all you have to do is give it a light push. That way, he could get rid of everything.”Yongnian said. He looked at his blood-stained hand and used his nails to scrape the blood clots. He turned his head to look at Wen Xuan.
"Liu Yongnian, you are like a shark in my eyes. Think about how you treat others. Those things you did for the sake of profit. You didn't even treat your son well.”Wen Xuan asked.
Yongnian turned around.
"Or does he remind you of those old times? Those times when you were an orphan." Wen Xuan said," We're about to leave this world. We should leave a way out for the children."
At this moment, fins protruded from the surface of the sea. They were like sharp knives that moved quickly on the surface of the sea that was shining under the moonlight.
"Am I hallucinating?" Wen Xuan raised his stiff neck with difficulty and looked at the sea." Now, I really wish I could sink into the sea with that guy."”
Yongnian shook his head and stuffed bullets into his gun without saying anything.
"Before I die, I have to have a good sleep.”Wen Xuan closed his eyes and said," At least let me rest."”

When Wen Xuan opened his eyes again, the world was white. The sunlight was blinding. The white curtains fluttered in the wind. Wen Xuan reached out to block his eyes and realized that there was a needle in his hand. The long infusion tube was pulled up and connected to the IV drip.
Aren stood up and drew the curtains. A few petals fell from the bouquet of roses in his hand.
Wen Xuan put down his hand and licked his dry lips. He turned to look at the ward and asked,""Where's your dad?"
"He went out with Mom." Aren sat down and waved the rose in his hand.”He placed the flowers on the counter and poured a glass of water for Wen Xuan.
Wen Xuan glanced at the roses and took the glass of water.
"I'll call the doctor." Aren said.
"No need." Wen Xuan said. He glanced at the white sheets on his body and wanted to turn sideways, but he realized that he could not feel his lower body.
"They said it was an accident. What exactly was the situation? I'm not sure either. Perhaps he should let the doctor in.”Aren said.
Wen Xuan looked at the white ceiling and felt like he had turned into stone. His body became heavier and heavier, sinking into the sheets and sinking into another world.
"I was still sleeping when Mom called.”Aren scratched his head and looked at Wen Xuan's dark face.
Wen Xuan rolled his eyes and glanced at him. He noticed that there was a suitcase behind him. He seemed to have grown up quite a bit. A beard sprouted from his chin. His originally round face now had more edges and corners.
Wen Xuan rubbed his eyes and said nothing. Perhaps he wanted to cry. However, in front of Aren, he could not cry. A certain despair had been deeply implanted in his mind. He felt that he had lost the autonomy of many things. He was still lying there, but he turned his head and stared at the pale wall without saying a word.
"If only I could be there. Then I can save you." Aren said.
"Have you gone home?" Wen Xuan asked.
"I don't want to go back yet." Aren said.
"Go back to sleep and come see me again.”Wen Xuan said.
"I'm not sleepy." Aren said.
Wen Xuan turned his face away and could not help but cry silently. Perhaps he should scream loudly to vent the anger in his heart. He straightened his body and wanted to get up, but he realized that he was dragging his heavy body and was powerless. Aren stood up, helped him up, and stuffed a pillow into his back.
Seeing the tears on his face, Aren turned his face away and said,"I should put the flowers up."
Wen Xuan lowered his head and glanced at the few books on the table. He took them. The pages of the book glowed white under the sunlight. He couldn't see the words clearly.
"Those are school books. It was not good at all in school. Everyone was boasting about themselves. Those clubs were so meaningless. Those people were competing. Random voting. Everyone looked like adults. No one was studying seriously. They were all playing games, skipping classes, and sleeping. There were also some who followed behind the girls, thinking about those things.”Aren said.
Wen Xuan touched the page, closed the book, and put it down.
"I wonder how Brother is doing? He could become so powerful. It must be because he was in the Ying Country.”Aren said," But now is good. After knowing what was going on, she didn't want to leave even more.”
Wen Xuan turned his head and looked through the window at the sea surface shining under the scorching sun.

A few days later, Yongnian entered the ward while Aren was away. After he came in, he closed the door of the room and sat opposite the bed. He looked at Wen Xuan, whose face was ashen, without saying a word.
Wen Xuan was also staring at him without saying a word.
The air was still filled with the fragrance of roses.
Yongnian smiled and pursed his lips tightly. For a moment, his body emitted a strange aura.
Wen Xuan was still staring at him, not even blinking, as if his eyelids were paralyzed.
"The world is ours." Yongnian said. When he said this, he returned to his normal state.
Perhaps Wen Xuan should have shouted at him, just like anyone who had suffered a major blow. But he didn't. He just stared at Yongnian and kept his mouth shut.
"I've succeeded. I'm not afraid of that thing anymore. I'll destroy them all." Yongnian said.
Sometimes, Wen Xuan still saw that child.
Yongnian didn't say anything else, nor did he smile. Instead, he crossed his arms and looked at Wen Xuan.
The two of them looked at each other quietly, as if they were frozen.
Time froze.
Sunlight seeped in and shone on the ground, reflecting off the white ceiling, reflecting white light in all directions. The light was flowing, searching for an undetectable path.
A gust of wind blew in.
The white curtains floated as if they were touching a transparent object.
The smell of roses in the air became even stronger.
The vase of flowers looked gaudy under the sunlight.
No one wanted to say a word.
They could imagine the two of them cursing each other like two dogs barking at each other.
This did not happen. It was not an illusion, and no one needed to shake their heads to dispel it.
They just waited quietly.
It was a restless summer day.
The sound of waves came from outside the window.
The two brothers looked at each other without moving their lips.
Then, Alan came over. He looked at them and stopped.
"Take good care of your uncle. He needs your care.”Yongnian said. He stood up and went out.
5
From then on, every day when Wen Xuan woke up, he would see Aren by his bed, as if he had been watching over him all night. He had been by Wen Xuan's side the whole time, talking non-stop, mentioning many things from the past. Wen Xuan, on the other hand, did not say a word. He either stared at the ceiling in a daze or flipped through a few books. He even felt that he was already dead, and only an empty soul existed, passing his days numbly.
A few weeks later, Aren got a wheelchair. He sat on it and slid it to the corridor. He slid it with his hand and chased after a few noisy children.
"Children, let's see who can catch up faster." Aren said.
Then, he quickly slid the wheelchair and rushed to the front.
The children followed behind, shouting and rushing forward.
The originally quiet long corridor became lively. Someone poked his head out of the ward and looked out curiously.
"Who wants to try this luxurious seat?”Aren asked.
"I want it, I want it." The children raised their hands, jumped, and shouted.
The nurse glanced at him and walked away.
Seeing this, Aren smiled and dismissed the children. He slid his wheelchair to Wen Xuan's ward. Wen Xuan saw his shadow under the sunlight. Without looking up, he flipped a page of the book and continued reading.
"It's time to go back, Uncle. I got you a wheelchair." Aren said. He sat in the wheelchair and pulled the bedsheets as he looked at Wen Xuan.
Aren slid his hand and made it spin on the spot. A silver circle of light appeared on the ground and swayed along with the wheelchair.
Wen Xuan looked up at him and smiled.
After Aren got down, he pushed the wheelchair very quickly. Wen Xuan sat on it and felt like he was a gust of wind that quickly blew through the long corridor, drawing out the children who were huddled in the ward. They stuck their heads out of the ward and stared at them.
Aren waved at the children and said,"I'll let you guys hitch a ride next time.”
The children shouted and followed him out of the hospital.
The sunlight formed a halo in the sky, illuminating the streets.
The blue sea was just below the road. The shadows of the trees swayed.
Aren carried Wen Xuan into the car and stuffed the wheelchair into the back seat.
Silver light flashed on the surface of the sea. The waves surged and pushed to the shore.
Wen Xuan leaned to the side and looked at the dazzling light. There was a fishing boat there. The fisherman stood at the bow of the boat and cast a net into the sea. The net wrapped around a ball of silver light and sank into the sea.
Just as Aren was about to carry Wen Xuan out of the car, he realized that Wen Xuan had already fallen asleep. He carried Wen Xuan to the porch and waited.
A green light flashed across the horizon.
Wen Xuan woke up and saw that the courtyard that had been abandoned for many years was filled with roses. Flowers of different colors were blooming. The color almost overflowed the wooden fence. He looked back at Aren and reached out to touch his head. Aren turned his head as if he was avoiding her, but also as if he was shy.
Aren reached out, touched the wheelchair, and carried it up the porch. He sat in the wheelchair himself, slid the wheelchair, and let it roll on the porch. He looked down and saw the wheelchair squeaking on the porch.
Wen Xuan looked at him and didn't say anything. He reached into his pocket.
"Are you looking for this?" Aren asked. He took out an old photo from his pocket and shook it.
Wen Xuan took the photo and looked at him as he continued to turn the wheelchair in circles.
"Who is that girl?" Aren stopped his wheelchair and asked.
Wen Xuan looked down at the photo and did not say anything.
The wheelchair spun a few more times, and a circle of light appeared.
"I'll ask my parents. They won't tell me." Aren said.
Wen Xuan stuffed the photo back into his arms and reached out to pull the wheelchair over. He noticed that the steps in front of the porch had been replaced with a slope.
"What were you doing here when I wasn't around?”Wen Xuan asked.
"Two large bookshelves were added to the room, and they were filled with books.”Aren said. He put down his hand, leaned his head on the armrest of the wheelchair, and stared at him.
"Is it that?" Wen Xuan pointed to the room and asked.
"That's right." Aren said.
"What does that mean?" Wen Xuan stared at the suitcase leaning against the bookcase and said,
"I want to move in." Aren said.
"This way, Liu Yongnian will regret saving me even more.”Wen Xuan said.
"I told them that I would be staying here for a while. That way, I can take care of you." Aren said.
"Aren't you going to school?" Wen Xuan asked.
"No, it's boring." Aren shook his head and said. He rolled the wheelchair down the slope, then slid the wheelchair, making it roll around on the slope.
"Have you thought it through?" Wen Xuan asked.
"Actually, it's better to stay here. It's more convenient to go out to sea." Aren said.
"Did you contact Abu? Does he know that you're not going to school?" Wen Xuan asked.
"I called. However, he never mentioned it. He seemed tired. Working in the hospital should be tough.”Aren said. He stood up and bent over to carry Wen Xuan into the wheelchair. Wen Xuan waved his hand and supported himself in the wheelchair. Aren smiled and walked into the kitchen.
Soon, a cooing sound came from the kitchen.
"Bring the tea out when it's ready." Wen Xuan said. He also rolled the wheelchair around the slope.
For a long time, Aren stayed by Wen Xuan's side and took care of him. Occasionally, Alan would go out to sea to fish and bring back some things. Very quickly, he returned to the dark young man from before.
