The Fragrant Romance of the Abandoned House

At noon, Qi Jingzhi hadn't rushed back yet, but Qi Yao came first by himself, carrying a schoolbag and looking outside the ward for a long time, Song Yi found him when he went out to fetch water.

"Qi Yao?" Song Yi stopped, looking at the familiar figure wearing a peaked cap not far away.

Qi Yao turned around, "Brother Song!" He shouted and ran over.

"How did you come?"

Qi Yao pressed down on the brim of his hat, and said a little embarrassedly: "I came to look for my brother, and I stopped by to see the children. I just looked for me in the ward for a long time."

Song Yi smiled and said, "Your brother is inside, you go in, I'll fetch water."

"En." Qi Yao nodded and walked into the ward.

Qi Jingzhi was sitting on a chair peeling oranges, looked up and saw Qi Yao was a little surprised, "Yao'er? Why are you here?"

Ren Han looked towards the door when he heard the sound, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the person coming.

"I'm here to find you." Qi Yao glanced at Ren Han.

"Didn't I say I would go back at noon? Why did you come here alone?" Qi Jingzhi handed the peeled oranges to Song Wei, then turned to ask Qi Yao, "How did you come here? By car?"

"Yeah." Qi Yao touched his nose and nodded, "I'm afraid you'll go back on your word, so I'll come here first."

"Damn." Qi Jingzhi was amused, "Am I so dishonest?"

Qi Yao looked at him sadly, with an expression of "you know what you did before".

"I know, I know, I'll take you there after we have dinner together." Qi Jingzhi walked over and touched his face with the back of his hand, "Why don't you wear more? Your nose is red from the cold."

Qi Yao sniffed, "I didn't bring thick clothes."

"You can just take one from my closet and put it on." Qi Jingzhi patted the brim of his hat hard, "Are you short-hearted?"

"Hello." Ren Han sat on the chair with his legs crossed, and greeted Qi Yao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Qi Yao lowered his head and straightened his hat, but remained silent.

Qi Jingzhi turned around, wondering how they knew each other, when he suddenly remembered that Song Yi was the Qi Yao he met at Ren Han's place.

"Little pig head," Qi Jingzhi turned to look at Song Wei, and introduced Qi Yao to him: "This is brother's cousin, Qi Yao."

Song Wei flashed his big eyes, and said in a childlike voice, "Hello, brother."

Qi Yao smiled lightly, "Hello."

After Ren Han answered the phone, he stood up, walked over to Qi Jingzhi and said, "Tell Song Yi, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." After speaking, he walked to the bedside and said to Song Wei, "Uncle, go first. I'll see you again when I have time."

"Goodbye, uncle." Song Wei said with a cute face.

"Goodbye." Ren Han smiled and waved to him.

Song Yi ran into Ren Han who was about to leave in the corridor, and stopped him, "Leaving?"

"Ah," Ren Han nodded, "The dog that set fire to it last time was something that I could handle. I'll deal with it. This time, I will definitely punish him to death, so that even the old man can't protect him."

Ren Han smiled and narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes curled up unconsciously. He was born with a pair of hanging eyes that were upturned at the corners of his eyes, and they would be hooked up with a slight smile. He didn't look like a good person no matter what.

At least Song Yi thinks so.

"Okay, I'm leaving, see you later." Ren Han patted Song Yi on the shoulder.

"Oh, that's right." He turned around suddenly, "I just left the scarf in the ward, let it be worn by the children of Qi Jing's family."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Song Yi was confused.

"Literally." Ren Han turned and left, waving his back to Song Yi.

Song Yi returned to the ward with the kettle in his hand, and understood the meaning of Ren Han's words as soon as he entered the door.

Qi Yao was sitting on the chair, shaking his legs with his hands tucked into his sleeves, his eyes were blocked by the brim of his hat, only his red nose was exposed.

"You wear too little." Song Yi poured him a cup of hot water with a kettle in his hand.

"He's a heartless one, there are so many clothes in the closet, any one he takes is thicker than his body." Qi Jingzhi looked at Qi Yao with distaste, "Go outside in a while, you won't freeze to death."

Song Yi took the scarf Ren Han left on the chair and asked Qi Jingzhi, "Where do you want to take him?"

"The zoo, last time I said I would take him there, but I didn't go."

Song Yi walked up to Qi Yao and wrapped Ren Han's scarf around his neck.

Qi Yao raised his head and stared blankly at Song Yi's strange behavior.

"Wear it, it will keep you warm, otherwise you should catch a cold." Song Yi said.

"Isn't this Ren Han's scarf?"

Hearing Qi Jingzhi's words, Qi Yao froze for a moment, then looked down at the scarf around his neck.

"Well, it's his." Song Yi said, "Anyway, Xiaoyao is also cold, so just wear it, don't catch a cold then."

"It's not necessary, it's not good to just use other people's things." Qi Yao said and wanted to tear off the scarf.

"Hey don't," Song Yi pressed his hand, "I specially left it for you to wear, don't be shy."

"Eh?" Qi Yao was a little confused.

Song Yi looked at Qi Yao's bewildered expression, and pressed his forehead helplessly, not knowing how to explain it.

To be honest, he didn't know whether Ren Han left behind by accident or left on purpose, so he just said that.He and Ren Han have been old friends for many years, and they have never guessed what he is thinking. This person often thinks about it, and no one can catch his mind.

Qi Jingzhi clicked his tongue, walked over and tugged the scarf, tightly wrapped it around Qi Yao's neck, and said, "If you don't wear it, it's not for nothing. When you catch a cold, I will have to send you to the hospital."

Qi Yao was covered by the scarf, and said "hehe" twice in a muffled voice, which was for Qi Jingzhi.

Qi Jingzhi accompanied Qi Yao to stroll around the zoo all afternoon, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly, but it still couldn't stop the winter chill.Although Qi Yao wore a scarf, he was wearing too little. After walking around for a few times, he started to sneeze.

After all, he is a simple and honest boy, his nose almost hangs down due to the cold wind, and when he sees a black bear fighting for half a carrot, he is still holding on to the fence like a fool with joy.

"It's time to go back. If you don't go back, your snot will be in your mouth." Qi Jingzhi handed him a piece of paper.

Qi Yao took the tissue, sniffed his snot, and looked at Qi Jingzhi eagerly, if his eyes were any more pitiful, the tail would almost pop out of the back of his butt.

It's a pity that Qi Jingzhi didn't take this kind of trick, dragged left and right, and finally dragged Qi Yao out of the zoo.

Qi Jingzhi brought Qi Yao back to the hospital, gave him some cold medicine, and went to Song Wei's ward to check. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Aunt Zhang feeding Song Wei, but Song Yi was nowhere to be seen.

"Aunt Zhang, are you here?" Qi Jingzhi walked over, "Where is Song Yi?"

Aunt Zhang turned around, "It's Xiao Qi. Xiao Song went downstairs after answering the phone call. I don't know where he went."

"Telephone? Who's phone?"

"He didn't say anything, he just went down and didn't come up after that."

Qi Jingzhi frowned, and just about to call Song Yi, the phone rang.He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello." He pressed the connect button.

"Hi, is that Qi Jingzhi?"

A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone, somewhat familiar, Qi Jingzhi froze for a moment, and asked, "Who is that?"

"It's me, Liu Qingwan."

"Liu Qingwan?" Qi Jingzhi frowned suspiciously, "Are you...what's the matter?"

"That..." Liu Qingwan faltered.

"What's the matter?" Qi Jingzhi's voice sank, "I still have something to do. If you're okay, I'll hang up first."

"Hey don't!" Liu Qingwan clenched the phone in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "You and Song Yi, are you two... dating?"

Qi Jingzhi was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "How do you know?"

Liu Qingwan's hand holding the phone froze for a second. Although she had already made mental preparations, she was still a little shocked to hear Qi Jingzhi's confession. After all, she had had a little expectation.

"You...are you really dating?" Liu Qingwan's voice sounded hollow, as if floating in mid-air.

"En." Qi Jingzhi responded lightly.

"I thought I was thinking too much." Liu Qingwan twitched her lips helplessly, and said suddenly, "Come to my house."

"To your house?" Qi Jingzhi frowned, "Why?"

"Song Yi, at my house now, I just saw my father's driver bring him here."

"what?!"

"Auntie, does she know about your relationship?" Liu Qingwan glanced downstairs, Song Yi was sitting on the sofa, opposite Liu Yue and Cao Jing.

"I guess it was because of this that I called him here, so I called you and asked, you..."

"I'll be right over." Qi Jingzhi's voice was full of anger, he paused, and said "thank you" to the phone.

As soon as the voice finished speaking, the phone was hung up. Liu Qingwan looked down at the blackened phone screen and sighed softly.

Qi Jingzhi left Qi Yao in the hospital, and drove to Liu Qingwan's house alone.

Cao Jing sat on the sofa, her face was not very good, and Song Yi's expression was not as friendly as before.Liu Yue sat on the side, looking intently at the newspaper in his hand, as if he stayed out of the matter.

Song Yi didn't speak, just sat quietly.

"Song Yi." Cao Jing cleared her throat, and said with a straight face: "You should know why I asked you today, right?"

"You say."

"My little one..." Cao Jing paused, seemingly unable to speak.

Song Yi looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Cao Jing sighed, and continued: "My son told me two days ago that he likes men. Although I have a bad relationship with him, I am his mother after all. I know my own son. I don't know what he looks like since he was a child." Knowing that, he can't be gay." She glanced at Song Yi, "I reckon someone must have led him on a detour."

Song Yi still didn't say anything.

Cao Jing originally held the idea that Song Yineng would deny it categorically, leaving her last hope, but now it seems that her guess is really close to ten.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Cao Jing's tone was blunt, and Song Yi's indifferent and fearless expression made her a little annoyed.

"Just tell me, I'll just listen."
