He said he doesn't love me

Dreams and lover, he didn't want Tang Anan to face this nonsensical choice, so he didn't ask Tang Anan about her plans.

Soon, Aunt Rong called for dinner, and everyone sat down and started eating.

"Brother, this is delicious." Sun Yichu picked up a chicken leg and handed it to Tang Yihe's bowl. Tang Yihe smiled and was about to say something when the phone in his pocket vibrated.

His expression remained unchanged. He took out his cell phone and looked at it, and the calmness on his face relaxed for a moment.

It was the director of the mental hospital calling.

This is nothing, but he personally asked the dean to help take care of Tongtong, so could this call mean that something happened to Tongtong?

"You guys eat first, I'm going to answer a phone call." He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and left the table to go to the back garden.

Sun Yichu's sight followed him as he disappeared into the distance, and he suddenly turned back to look at the chicken leg. He bit his lip, picked up the chicken leg and threw it into the trash can as if to vent his anger.

Seeing this, Tang Lele seemed to want to say something but hesitated and finally did not open his mouth.

Sun Yichu turned his head and looked towards the back garden, not moving his chopsticks. His thoughts gradually drifted away, trying to listen to what Tang Yihe was saying and who was interrupting him by phone.

"Eat quickly. If your brother comes back and sees that you haven't finished eating, he won't take you out to play." Tang Anan smiled and stood up to serve him some egg custard. "Try it quickly, otherwise Lele will finish it soon."

"Yes, my brother will be back as soon as he finishes the call. Don't worry." Tang Lele spoke at the right time.

Li Cheng followed closely and said, "Yes, brother will be angry with you if he sees that you haven't eaten."

Everyone was talking at once, and finally Sun Yichu regained his consciousness. When he picked up his chopsticks again, they stopped chattering.

——Back garden.

Tang Yihe stood in front of the rabbit nest, listening to what was being said on the other end. He was confused and asked, "He wants to see me? What does he want to see me for?"

"I don't know about that. He keeps nagging you, saying that you didn't buy him a lollipop. He refuses to take his medicine no matter what. Do you want to come and comfort him?"

Tongtong's cry could be vaguely heard on the other end of the phone. If it were normal, Tang Yihe might go. But now, Sun Yichu didn't like this Tongtong. If she went to take care of him again, I'm afraid Sun Yichu's situation would become more complicated.

"I can't get over it. Just do what you did before. How can there be no solution?" Tang Yihe rubbed his eyebrows and prepared to hang up the phone helplessly.

Perhaps the other party knew his situation and stopped forcing him, but Tongtong was still crying and making a fuss about looking for him, which put him in a dilemma.

It was just a momentary kindness, but now he can neither get over it nor leave.

"Mr. Tang, why don't you bring your brother along? Your brother is not the kind of person who won't listen. When he sees Tongtong, he might agree to let you come over to help."

Tang Yihe sighed, "It would be strange if he agreed... You guys try to solve it first, I'll ask him later, I'm hanging up now."

"Hey, good."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yihe sat back at the table. The food was still the same, but the atmosphere was much weirder. No one spoke, and Sun Yichu lowered his head to look at the bowl. No one spoke.

After finishing the meal in an awkward manner, Tang Yihe pulled Sun Yichu upstairs.

In the study, Tang Yihe and Sun Yichu stood face to face, but Sun Yichu's eyes were not on him. Instead, he was staring at the sky outside the window.

"Yichu, Tongtong is in trouble, brother needs to go over..." He just mentioned it briefly, and saw Sun Yichu turned around and walked out the door. Tang Yihe was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't go, don't go, listen to what brother has to say, okay?"

"It's up to you. If you want to go, go ahead. What does it have to do with me?" Sun Yichu looked at him and said calmly, "You're kind-hearted. You pity him. I deserve it. I can't meet a kind-hearted person like you. I deserve to be locked up as a lunatic!!"

His expression was indifferent, but the words he spoke were like a knife stabbing Tang Yihe's heart.

"Baby, that's not what I meant." Tang Yihe explained, "I promised him that I would buy him something, but I broke the promise, so he was sick today and kept looking for me. I have to go... I want to ask you, are you willing to go with me?"

"What should I go for? To see you two getting along harmoniously? Don't be ridiculous. I won't go, not even if I die! If you dare to go, I will die in front of you!" His eyes were red, and he just stared at Tang Yihe like that. The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, and neither of them spoke again.

Tang Yihe expected Sun Yichu's reaction, but he still felt bad when he heard these words. The more you care about someone, the more you know how to hurt them with one word.

"...Yichu, he is only 21 years old, but he has lived in a mental hospital for more than four years. Do you know what this means?" Tang Yihe looked at him and said in a deep voice: "I know you don't like him, so I will go to see him and ask him to take the medicine obediently and then I will leave. I promise, okay?"

"Doesn't he have any family?! Doesn't he have any friends?! Why should you pretend to be kind?! Why should my brother take care of others?!!" Whenever Sun Yichu thought that the man already had a place in Tang Yihe's heart, he couldn't control his anger. He couldn't control it, and he didn't want to control it.

"Yichu..."

"Yes, he is indeed better than me. It's normal that you like him, so go ahead." He turned around and was about to leave, but the next second, Tang Yihe pulled him into his arms.

"Yichu, that's not what I meant. I don't like him." Tang Yihe gritted his teeth and whispered, "I just feel bad for him. He is about the same age as you and has the same disease as you. Every time I see him, I wonder if you were as helpless as he was at that time, and if you were as sad as him and could only cry in the quilt... Every time I think of it, I can't help but want to protect him."

"Baby, he has no family left, not a single one... He is only twenty-one years old, but he won't live long."

Sun Yichu was held in his arms in a daze, and was stunned for a moment. He looked up in disbelief and murmured, "What do you mean?"

"He won't live long. Today's physical examination showed that he has acute leukemia... Baby, I just want to go see him. I'll leave after I see him, okay?" Tang Yihe lowered her eyes and looked at him, and said in a gentle voice: "Our Yichu has always been a very kind person, right? Let's go see him, and we'll come back after he takes the medicine, okay?"

leukemia……

Same disease as A-ran...

Sun Yichu suddenly felt that he was too weird. It was Tang Yihe's freedom to go out, but he used death to resist.

It was Tang Yihe who made the promise to that person first, so the reason for breaking the promise was most likely because of me...

"Twenty-one years old..." he murmured in a low voice, "one year younger than A'ran..."

Tang Yihe hummed and said softly, "Let's go see him, okay?"

"Brother, can't he be cured? Can't he be cured? Why does he have this disease... A'ran... A'ran also has this disease..." Sun Yichu came back to his senses, pulled Tang Yihe and walked out, muttering to himself, "Hurry up, faster."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the mental hospital.

As soon as Tang Yihe got out of the car, Sun Yichu pulled him inside. He quickly locked the car and kept up to avoid falling.

"Oh, you're finally here. Tongtong has been asking for you!" When the nurse saw him coming, she hurriedly took a few lollipops and stuffed them into his hands, then pushed him into the ward.

Sun Yichu was stopped outside the door and he looked at the situation inside through the glass window.

Tongtong was trapped in a corner by doctors and nurses, and he was holding a doll in his hand. The doll was very dirty, had lost its furry appearance, and became gray, old and dilapidated.

"Go away!! I don't want you!! I want my brother!!! My lollipop is gone!!!"

He roared, exactly the same as he used to be.

Sun Yichu was suddenly stunned.

It's not Tang Yihe's fault for being soft-hearted. It's just that this person's experience is too similar to his own. He pursed his lips tightly, and finally couldn't continue watching. He turned around and walked outside.

Along the way, he saw many flowers and plants, and also saw many patients moving around within the nurses' sight. They were all holding their own rabbits and laughing freely on the grass.

It seems like there is nothing special about it, but these are things that Ai Yu doesn’t have.

All that Ai Yu has are three meals that are never full, nights that are never sleepy, quilts that are never warm, like a cage where there is never any hope.

Here, there are flowers, grass, sunshine, laughter, pets that can be raised, and staff who treat them sincerely.

Why don't I have it?

Yeah, why didn't I have any...

Why am I the only one who doesn't have it...

He took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of flowers and sat on the wooden swing at the side. The swing was very simple, just made of two thick hemp ropes and a piece of wood.

But even such an ordinary thing was what he once longed for.

No, maybe what he longed for was not the swing, but the meaning that the swing represented. It was love, care, a brother, and a family...

It is what he has never had and has longed for till now.

"elder brother……"

Who?

He turned his head suddenly and saw a little girl who was also holding a doll standing in front of him, pointing her finger at the swing under his butt.

"Brother, can you let Yaoyao play with you for a while?" She smiled at Sun Yichu and looked like an ordinary person, but Sun Yichu did not dare to communicate with her.

In a place like this, the more normal a person is, the more abnormal they become.

"Brother?" Yaoyao saw him getting up and leaving, and quickly reached out to hold him, saying softly: "Brother, if you want to continue playing, Yaoyao can queue up. Sister said that queuing up is a good child, Yaoyao wants to be a good child."

"I don't want to play anymore. You go play." Sun Yichu waved her hand away with a little force and prepared to leave.

Yaoyao tilted her head and looked at him, then suddenly raised her lips and smiled, saying, "Brother Ran!"

Sun Yichu widened his eyes slightly and looked at her in surprise, "Do you know me?"

She shook her head, raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the ward, and said with a smile: "Brother Tongtong said that you are Brother Ran, the younger brother of Brother Tang, right?"

Tang...

elder brother……

Sun Yichu lowered his eyes and looked at her. Could it be that this brother was just a title in their hearts?

He is older than you, so do you call him brother?

Then why am I so angry?

But a name...

No, he can only be my brother.

"Brother Ran, is Brother Tongtong sick?" Yaoyao looked at him and suddenly stuffed the worn-out doll in her hand into his arms, muttering, "Brother is unhappy, give it to him."

"Thank you, but I don't want it." Sun Yichu returned the doll to her, raised his eyes and looked towards the ward, and said softly, "He won't live long..."

"Ah? Why? Brother Tongtong said he would take Yaoyao to the zoo, how could this happen... Sister said he was getting better! Is it because Brother Tang broke the promise and didn't come, so he is unhappy and doesn't want to get better?" Yaoyao frowned, "But Brother Tang is here, why is Brother Tongtong still unhappy?"

Broken appointment...

Is it because of yourself?

Is he sick because I didn't want him to come?
