When Pei Ruoqing and the others returned, they went down the mountain together. After a while, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, they did not go home immediately. Instead, they found a nearby restaurant. Pei Ruoqing was extremely quiet along the way. She did not say a word. An Su was also rarely silent. The huge private room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Shi Yunshu called out," Dad, Uncle.”
"In the future, don't call him uncle. Call him martial uncle. He was originally your grandfather's disciple, and then your aunt's husband.”Shi Yihong took a sip of hot tea and spoke slowly.
Shi Yunshu bowed and called out again," Martial Uncle.”
Pei Yuan Shao put on a smile." No need to be so polite. Martial Uncle doesn't have any good meeting gifts. The next time you come to my house, I'll make it up to you.”
"Thank you, Uncle-Master." The old man gave him a gift, but he did not dare to refuse. At that time, he calmly agreed to the memorial.
Pei Ruoqing's gaze lingered on her father's face for a few seconds before moving away. There was still no emotion on his face.
"Little Ruo, come here." Pei Yuan Shao waved at him and Pei Ruoqing obediently stood up and walked over.
Pei Yuanshao handed him a cup of freshly brewed hot tea and looked at Shi Yihong." Go and serve your master tea.”
Pei Ruoqing looked at Pei Yuanshao and did not move for a moment. Teacher, to a family with a red background like the Pei family, they placed great importance on the concept of inheritance. Sometimes, a teacher was equivalent to a father, and he…
An Su was stunned by this turn of events. Why did he become a disciple again?
Pei Ruoqing lowered her eyes and took the tea with both hands. She walked in front of Shi Yihong, knelt down, and handed the tea to him with both hands." Teacher, please have some tea."”
Shi Yihong raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile. He did not take it and asked," Do you know how to make tea?”
Pei Ruoqing paused." Yes."
"Since it's tea for apprenticeship, then make it yourself."
" Alright," Pei Ruoqing replied. She stood up and placed the tea in her hand on the table. Pei Yuanshao stood up and sat at the side. Pei Ruoqing skillfully heated the cup, took the tea, and washed the tea. Her movements were like flowing water, and the fragrance of the tea spread. Pei Yuanshao was a little surprised. He had never known that Pei Ruoqing knew how to make tea. On the other hand, Shi Yihong and Shi Yunshu were very calm, as if they were not surprised at all.
Pei Ruoqing picked up the cup of tea with both hands and knelt in front of Shi Yihong again. Her face was still expressionless." Teacher, please have some tea." Her voice was cold and indifferent. There was no emotion in it.
Shi Yihong took the tea and took a sip. He was even more surprised. The tea was mellow and sweet, and the fragrance was strong. The fragrance gradually filled the air. The fragrance was quiet and turned dark. It was difficult to have such tea skills without decades. He was even more curious about this cheap disciple of his. He finished the tea and said," Good tea skills. Get up."”
Pei Yuan Shao and Shi Yunshu were very surprised that their senior brother's 'father' would not easily praise others.
"Yes, thank you, teacher."
Pei Yuanshao looked at Pei Ruoqing, who was sitting there quietly, and said," Yunshu, I'll leave Ruo 'er in your hands for the next year. If he continues to skip class or fight, you can teach him a lesson. Also, Ruo' er's grades are not good, so you'll have to worry about him.”
Shi Yunshu was a little surprised. It was not that his father had told him that he was going to stay for the next year, but that the Pei Ruoqing mentioned by his martial uncle seemed to be different from the Pei Ruoqing he had interacted with these days.
Shi Yunshu looked at Pei Ruoqing and found that he still had the same indifferent expression. He was not embarrassed or angry at all by his father's embarrassing words. It was as if the person that his Uncle-Master was talking about was not him. Instead, it was An Su, who was beside him, who had obvious anger and dissatisfaction on his face.
Shi Yihong looked at Pei Yuanshao, who was frowning, and Pei Ruoqing, who had a calm expression. He felt a headache coming on. If he still could not tell that there was a conflict and misunderstanding between the father and son, then he would be suffering from dementia.
An Su put down the cup with a bang, successfully attracting their attention.
Pei Ruoqing calmly put down her chopsticks, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of tea. Before An Su could speak, she said," Ah Su, be gentle. If you smash the cup, I'll make you stay behind to wash the dishes.”
An Su was so angry that his eyebrows were about to fly up. He shouted angrily," Pei Ruoqing…"
Pei Ruoqing's eyes softened." I'm here, Brother. Don't be so loud. Be careful that someone will complain about you disturbing the people.”
Looking at An Su who was glaring at her, Pei Ruoqing smiled." Didn't you keep saying that you're about to turn into a rabbit? There's so much delicious food, why don't you hurry up and eat?"”
Shi Yunshu looked at Pei Ruoqing and An Su, feeling a little sour in his heart. Ruoqing did not seem to have called him brother yet.
Shi Yihong looked at the angry An Su and said," An seems to have something to say."”
"Yeah, I…"
"Ah Su, this steamed dumpling tastes good. Try it.”Pei Ruoqing picked up a dumpling and placed it in An Su's bowl before eating another.
An Su looked at Pei Ruoqing and stopped to say what he wanted to say. He picked up the dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, but his expression suddenly changed.
"Pei Ruoqing, how many have you eaten?”An Su's tone was filled with panic and anxiety.
"What's wrong? Are the dumplings not delicious?”
An Su stared at Pei Ruoqing and his eyes turned cold." Stop eating first. Follow me to the hospital."”
Pei Ruoqing calmly put down her chopsticks under the gazes of the few people and asked curiously.
"Why are you going to the hospital?"
Looking at Pei Ruoqing's innocent face, An Su gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to hit her.
If Pei Ruoqing could not tell that it was seafood filling, he would have written the name upside down. He had done it on purpose.
An Su took a deep breath, stood up, and pulled Pei Ruoqing up roughly." Mr. Pei, Mr. Shi, Ruoer is allergic to seafood. I'll take him to the hospital."”
As they spoke, Pei Ruoqing's exposed skin had already started to break out in large rashes. An Su did not wait for Shi Yihong and the others to react and quickly pulled Pei Ruoqing out of the private room.
Shi Yunshu was stunned by this sudden change, but his body reacted faster than his brain and hurriedly chased after her.
Shi Yihong was still relatively calm. He stood up and called out to Shi Yunshu. He quickly said," Shu 'er, go after Xiao An and the others. It's not easy to get a taxi here. Tell them to wait by the roadside."”
Then, he instructed Pei Yuan Shao, who was still in a panic," Give me your car keys. I'll go and drive."”
Pei Yuanshao immediately took out his keys and handed them to Shi Yihong. He ran to the cashier and took out his wallet to pay the bill.
By the time Shi Yunshu caught up with An Su and Pei Ruoqing, Pei Ruoqing's consciousness was not very clear and she was in An Su's arms.
He was trembling as he asked," How is Ruo 'er? Doesn't he know that he is allergic to seafood?"”
An Su pursed his lips and was silent for a moment." I know. I don't think Ruo 'er could tell.”
As they spoke, Shi Yihong had already driven over. An Su immediately brought Pei Ruoqing into the car. Shi Yunshu and Pei Yuanshao, who had caught up, quickly followed.
The place was too remote, and it was more than an hour away from the hospital. Pei Ruoqing could barely maintain her consciousness when she got into the car. Now, she was completely unconscious and had a fever.
An Su frowned and his expression was extremely ugly. He avoided Pei Yuanshao and Shi Yunshu's hands that were reaching out to take Pei Ruoqing and carried her into the hospital.
Pei Ruoqing's symptoms were too serious. Pei Yuanshao took the hospitalization certificate issued by the doctor and returned after completing the hospitalization procedures. Pei Ruoqing was still unconscious. He was lying on the hospital bed. He was so small that he was so thin that he did not have any flesh. He looked so delicate that he would break if he were to bend it lightly.
Pei Yuan Shao was a little startled. He suddenly remembered that he and Pei Ruoqing had never interacted like father and son. When Pei Ruoqing was young, he deliberately ignored and avoided her for some reason. Later, when he wanted to make up for it, the time he and Pei Ruoqing met was scarily short. Even when they happened to be at home, the two of them rarely talked calmly.
Thinking about it carefully, what he had given Pei Ruoqing was not enough for him to live on and enough pocket money. He had not given him anything and had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father.
When the young nurse pushed open the door and came in to change the medicine, she saw Pei Yuanshao standing there with a strange expression. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly restrained the expression on her face. She quickly changed the medicine and reminded him that this was the last bottle of medicine. After the infusion, he just needed to press the call button. Then, she left in a hurry.
For a moment, the ward returned to silence. An Su left with a dark expression when Pei Ruoqing was out of danger, while Shi Yihong was called away urgently by a phone call.
When Shi Yunshu returned with a lunch box and toiletries, he saw Pei Yuanshao staring at Pei Ruoqing in a daze. He could not help but sigh in his heart. The problem between this father and son was probably not small.
Hence, Pei Ruoqing saw this scene when he woke up. His father and Shi Yunshu were sitting on a chair in a daze, while the other was standing there in a daze. He was stunned for a moment before he propped himself up on the bed.
Pei Yuan Shao and Shi Yunshu came back to their senses. Pei Yuan Shao stood up and caressed Pei Ruoqing. He placed a pillow behind him." Your hand is still on an IV drip. Why are you moving around?" After saying that, he frowned again.
"Sit comfortably." Pei Ruoqing borrowed Pei Yuan Shao's strength to sit properly. When she heard Pei Yuan Shao's words, she replied gently.
Shi Yunshu placed the things in his hands on the table at the side and took out a bottle of water. He looked at Pei Ruoqing and asked," Ruo 'er, do you want to drink some water?"”
Pei Ruoqing shook her head." No, thank you, Brother.”
When Shi Yunshu heard this, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips curled into a very gentle smile.
"Then eat more. You haven't eaten much before.”
"No, I'm not hungry. I don't really want to eat. However, Brother and Dad, you guys can eat more. I probably need to wait for a while for my infusion.”
Shi Yunshu and Pei Yuanshao frowned at the same time." Listen to your brother and eat more." Pei Yuanshao took a lunch box and placed it on the small table on the bed.
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
He sighed in his heart. He really didn't want to eat, but he didn't eat anything at the restaurant other than two steamed dumplings. If he didn't eat now, his father and Shi Yunshu would definitely not agree.
He wasn't interested in food, and he wasn't a person who got hungry easily. In addition, he was particularly picky about food. Therefore, when he was busy or reading, he often forgot to eat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have low blood sugar and stomach problems.
"Little Ruo, don't you know what you're allergic to?”Shi Yunshu asked in confusion.
"I know. That's why I've never eaten seafood before. When I eat it, I only feel that it's familiar, but I can't tell.”Pei Ruoqing sounded helpless.
Pei Yuan Shao was silent for a moment." What else are you allergic to?"”
Pei Ruoqing seemed to be at a loss. He looked at Pei Yuanshao," Peanuts, mangoes, and pineapples.”
Pei Yuan Shao nodded his head and looked at Pei Ruoqing who had not even eaten a third of the food. He could not help but frown. However, he did not say anything and only stared at Pei Ruoqing for a long time.
It was already past six o'clock when Pei Ruoqing finished the IV drip. He looked at the time on his phone." Dad, it's getting late. Let's go back."”
"I've arranged for you to be hospitalized. Your condition is still not stable.”Pei Yuan Shao frowned as he looked at Pei Ruoqing.
"Uncle-Master is right. Little Ruo doesn't have to be anxious. It's better to stay in the hospital for two more days to prevent a relapse.”Shi Yunshu looked at Pei Ruoqing, who wanted to retort, and advised her gently.
Pei Ruoqing sighed." Sure, but we can't all stay in the hospital, right? I'm just allergic. Why don't you guys go back first? I can do it alone. How can three men stay here?"”
When Pei Yuanshao heard Pei Ruoqing's words, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile in his eyes," Pei Ruoqing, let me remind you that you have just turned twelve years old. You are one month and three days old, so there are two of you and a child.”
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
Shi Yunshu coughed lightly and looked at the slightly depressed Pei Ruoqing. He held back his laughter and said," Uncle-Master, Little Ruo is right. It's indeed not appropriate for us to stay here. Moreover, there's only one accompanying bed here. Why don't you go back first? I'll stay here and take care of Little Ruo. It just so happens that I want to have a chat with her.”
Pei Yuan Shao looked at Pei Ruoqing and then at Shi Yunshu before nodding his head. Rather than staying here and talking to Little Ruo, it was better to let the two brothers develop their relationship first. Youngsters would get along better too. His presence here would make them feel uncomfortable.
Pei Ruoqing was speechless." You guys didn't ask for my opinion and decided like this. Is this really appropriate?
After the two of them finished discussing, Shi Yunshu followed Pei Yuan Shao to send him off. Pei Ruoqing looked at the empty room and pinched the space between her eyebrows. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
