forced to zero

The next morning, Tan Siyuan was still in bed.After Xie Jingran washed up, he went to the kitchen. Since he was known to be able to cook, he didn't continue to pretend.There were still leftovers from the vegetables he bought earlier, so he took a few eggs in the refrigerator and prepared to make egg noodles to eat.

After ordering the noodles, Tan Siyuan was still awake, Xie Jingran looked at the time, it was past seven o'clock, and he had to live broadcast when he got back, after taking the noodles out, he went back to his room and called Tan Siyuan.Unexpectedly, Tan Siyuan was already waiting in the bathroom.

"Good morning." Tan Siyuan came out after shaving his beard, "What breakfast did you make?"

"Let's face it." Xie Jingran took two steps, but couldn't hold back after all, turned to Tan Siyuan and asked, "Why are you so early today?"

"...I'm hungry." Tan Siyuan sighed, he didn't do it last night, he was a little excited this morning, and reacted early in the morning, but this person got up very early, he didn't even have time to dawdle.

Xie Jingran said again: "Oh, I've ordered noodles for you to eat. I don't know if you like it or not. It's just an ordinary egg noodle. If you're not used to it, then... order takeaway."

Tan Siyuan smiled and said, "I'll try it out."

Xie Jingran kept observing Tan Siyuan, and was relieved to find that the other party did not show any frown and disgust. He was really afraid that Tan Siyuan would not be used to this kind of home-cooked food.

"It's delicious." Tan Siyuan finished his portion of noodles and smiled at Xie Jingran, "Are you going back?"

"Yeah." Xie Jingran put away the dishes, "You...you don't need to pay me, last night is not counted."

"Okay." Tan Siyuan didn't ask why, it's fine if he doesn't give a double share this time, and he will always have a way to give the money to Xie Jingran.

Tan Siyuan took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Xie Jingran: "From now on, you can come in by yourself. I should be taking a bath at that time, so it won't affect you well."

Xie Jingran looked at the key in his hand, and was stunned: "Give it to me? Isn't it suitable?"

"It's suitable, take it." Tan Siyuan smiled, "I'll take you back."

Tan Siyuan sent Xie Jingran home, Xie Jingran returned home and started the live broadcast, Tan Siyuan also went online.It's true that I didn't give you the money last night, but...

Xie Jingran looked at the special effects of gifts on the screen, feeling a little pained, and thought to himself: Why don't you just pay him directly, because you have to pay fifty-fifty points with the website for gifts.

In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, Xie Jingxin was going home again, Miao Xinyi was busy recently, and she didn't have time to go to the hospital to check on her condition.Fortunately, the wounds on his face are getting better, the pain is not so severe, and he doesn't have to stay in the ward all day, he can go out for a walk.

Xie Jingxin didn't hear Rong Qing's voice after returning home, she was a little disappointed, she didn't see Xie Jingxin for a week, and ran towards Xie Jingxin wagging her tail.

Touching Duoduo's dog's face, Xie Jingxin heard the commotion from the kitchen, and shouted: "Brother, where's mom?"

"Busy, no time to go home." Xie Jingran shouted from the kitchen.

Xie Jingxin lowered his head, tugged at Duoduo's dog hair, and said "Oh" in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy? Mom is busy recently, don't worry." Xie Jingran smiled and kicked Duoduo aside, "Go, get out of the way."

Xie Jingxin sniffed and asked, "What's for dinner tonight? I can smell pork rib soup."

"Sparse rib soup, and green vegetables, just wait, it will be here soon." Xie Jingran turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue tossing.

Xie Jingxin sat on the sofa, Duoduo excitedly stepped on the sofa, and occasionally stuck out his tongue to lick Xie Jingxin.

After dinner, Xie Jingxin was lying on the dining table, staring straight ahead with dull eyes, Xie Jingran cleaned up the dishes and took a look at Xie Jingxin.

"What are you doing?" Xie Jingran flicked Xie Jingxin's forehead, "Will you go for a walk later? I haven't taken it out for a long time."

"Okay." Xie Jingxin nodded, "Take it to the river, it's cooler there."

"You just want to eat barbecue." Xie Jingran shook his head and sighed, "Didn't you have enough for dinner?"

There is a park near Xie Jingran's house, and there is a river near the park. There are various snacks on both sides of the river.Xie Jingxin likes to eat there the most, but Xie Jingran seldom lets him go, because Xie Jingxin fell into the river before, but fortunately Duo Duo is also a smart dog, he kept barking towards the river, and passers-by saw someone in the water He was thumping, and quickly jumped into the water to save others, otherwise he would have to blame himself for the rest of his life.

"If you're full, you'll be able to digest it when you walk around."

Xie Jingran sighed and did not speak.

Xie Jingxin knew what Xie Jingran was worried about, so he sat upright and said: "You can just go with me, I was not careful that time, and you were not around, so I fell." He grabbed Dooduo's long dog hair , aggrieved, "I haven't been there for a long time."

This is true, since that time, Xie Jingran didn't take him to the river very often.

"Okay, wait for a while, I'll wash the dishes before I go." Xie Jingran went to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks, Xie Jingxin happily put his hand between Duoduo's dog's legs, trying to hug him, but Duoduo was too big and failed , One person and one dog fell to the ground.Duoduo thought Xie Jingxin was playing with him, turned over and put the dog's head on Xie Jingxin.

Xie Jingran came out and saw this scene, shook his head and went back to his room to change his clothes, Duo Duo was still hugging Xie Jingxin's stomach.

"Get up, if I don't go, I will go out for a night run."

"Go, go!" Xie Jingxin got up, "I'm going to change clothes."

After changing their clothes, the two brothers went out with the dog, and when they got there, Xie Jingran suspected that Xie Jingxin's stomach was a bottomless pit.Obviously, I drank soup and ate a lot of ribs at home, so I can still eat a lot of skewers, and even want to eat another bowl of noodle soup.

"Still eating?" Xie Jingran pulled Xie Jingxin aside, "Enough, look at your stomach? I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed."

Duoduo was also very excited to smell so much meat, and kept circling around Xie Jingran.

Xie Jingxin rubbed his stomach: "Then eat it next time, and bring me next week."

Xie Jingran said seriously: "No. Once a month, it's not good to eat too much."

"...All right, then how many more skewers should I eat?" Xie Jingxin narrowed his eyes and tugged on Xie Jingran's sleeve.

Xie Jingran shook his head and sighed: "There is nothing I can do about you."

After eating and returning home, Xie Jingxin burped a few times on the way.

"Smells all over." Xie Jingran took a few steps away from Xie Jingxin in disgust.

"Tch." Xie Jingxin ate and drank enough, and didn't intend to argue with Xie Jingran.

After arriving home, Xie Jingran squatted down, smelling that Duoduo also smelled, wrinkled his nose in disgust, and brought Duoduo to the bathroom.

"I'm going to give Duoduo a bath."

"Okay." Xie Jingxin replied while stretching out on the sofa, rubbing her belly.

Pulling the reluctant Duoduo back to the bathroom, Xie Jingran started a round of struggle between man and dog.

Xie Jingxin rested his eyes on the sofa when he heard the ringtone, and called "Brother" a few times, but no one responded, he walked a few steps, and the ringtone stopped again."Woof woof" and Xie Jingran's voice came from the bathroom, Xie Jingxin smiled.

At this moment the phone in the living room rang, Xie Jingxin fumbled to pick up the phone and answered it.

Xie Jingxin lowered his head, clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and hung up the phone.He exhaled on the spot, at this time Xie Jingran had already bathed Duoduo, and was about to bring Duoduo out when Xie Jingxin appeared in front of him.

"Jingxin? What's the matter? Do you want to take a bath?" Xie Jingran wiped Duoduo's dog's hair and gave way to her.

"Mom fell."

Xie Jingran paused for wiping the dog's fur, then he raised his head and looked at Xie Jingxin.

"Mom is in the hospital, why didn't you tell me?" Xie Jingxin's eyes were moist, and her voice was trembling.

"I'll go back." Xie Jingran rubbed Duoduo's dog's head, "You can follow along."

On the way to the hospital, Xie Jingxin did not speak and did not look at Xie Jingran.He didn't touch Xie Jingran when he went out, and almost fell on the street. After being scolded by Xie Jingran, he reluctantly let him support him.

"What's going on?" Xie Jingran frowned as he looked at the pale face on the hospital bed.

"It's okay, I didn't fall, it just slipped a bit, I went to the toilet and it slipped on the floor." Rong Qing frowned, avoiding Xie Jingxin.

"Mom." Xie Jingxin called out.

"Jing Xin...it's on vacation." Rong Qing smiled awkwardly, "Mom is fine, you go back with your brother first."

Xie Jingxin asked, "How long has it been?"

"Not long, today..."

"to be frank!"

"I'll tell you when I go back, don't disturb Mom to rest." Xie Jingran pulled Xie Jingxin out, "Mom, let's go back first."

"Hey, good." Rongqing responded, and Xie Jingran turned around and gave her a reassuring look.

"Okay, I've seen it now, there's nothing wrong with mom, didn't you hear what the doctor said just now?" Xie Jingran stroked Xie Jingxin's hair, "If you want to blame it, blame me, I want to keep it from you."

Xie Jingxin shook his head, but did not speak.

Xie Jingxin walked home silently all the way, and didn't speak after arriving home, led Duoduo back to the room, closed and locked the door.

Xie Jingran stood at the door for a while, but no one answered when he knocked on the door, he kicked the door: "Xie Jingxin, open the door for me!"

After a while, the door opened from the inside.

"Brother, I'm fine." Xie Jingxin's eyes were red, "Leave me alone, I'll just be quiet."

"Don't think about it." Xie Jingran frowned and patted Xie Jingxin on the back.

"Yeah." Xie Jingxin pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, "I don't blame you, and I don't blame Mom either."

Xie Jingran nodded: "I know, you are blaming yourself."

Xie Jingxin was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Can you not speak so directly? It's been like this since childhood."

Xie Jingran wiped the tears on Xie Jingxin's face with the back of his hand, and said, "What do you think? It's fine, go to bed after crying, and go to see mom tomorrow, the doctor said it's all right, don't think about it. If mom sees your eyes tomorrow It’s swollen, so it’s strange if I don’t kick you out.”

"Okay." Xie Jingxin nodded, "Then go and rest."

After closing the door, Xie Jingxin closed his eyes, and did not cry anymore, but tonight, he suffered from insomnia.

Because of his own powerlessness, because of his own weakness, he didn't even deserve to know that his mother was hospitalized. He hated his own incompetence and his cowardice.Xie Jingran has too many burdens on his shoulders, how can he have the right to blame him?The person most to be blamed is himself.
