When Song Wenran tidied himself up with one hand and came out of the bathroom, he found that Bai Chong was no longer in the room.But the door was still open, and he could hear someone talking downstairs.

He glanced at the time and thought that Bai Ziqi might be back.So he also left the room. When passing the corridor, Song Wenran thought of Wen Qian. He gently opened Wen Qian's door and found that she was already sleeping on the bed.

Wen Qian knew that she was troublesome from the beginning of following Song Wenran, so she was always very obedient, and she didn't dare to lose her temper and pester others, for fear that Song Wenran would not want to continue to take her with her.

Song Wenran gently closed the door again, and continued to walk downstairs.

The living room on the first floor was lit, and Bai Chong and Bai Ziqi were standing beside the sofa talking.

Song Wenran didn't know how long Bai Ziqi had been back. When he came down, he only heard Bai Chong say: "So you don't have to be responsible for the consequences caused by your childish behavior?"

Bai Ziqi said impatiently: "What's none of my business? I'm responsible for everything, can I finish it?"

Song Wenran stood at the corner of the stairs on the first and second floors and did not continue to go down. He saw Bai Chong and Bai Ziqi facing each other across a sofa.Bai Ziqi still looks like he just came back from outside, while Bai Chong has already changed into home clothes, cotton trousers, and a dark gray loose long-sleeved shirt on top.

After hearing Bai Ziqi's words, Bai Chong said, "It's none of your business, so are you planning to be like this for the rest of your life?"

Bai Ziqi pressed one hand on the back of the sofa chair, and turned his gaze to one side.

Bai Chong said: "You are going to take the college entrance examination next year. What kind of university do you think you can get into?"

Bai Ziqi frowned suddenly.

Bai Chong's tone was still very calm, "I haven't received your final exam report card yet, but I called your homeroom teacher and asked, with your current grades, you might be able to barely get into a second-tier school, or you might be able to pass the exam. No. Including the last year and a half of high school, you still have five and a half years to waste. When you waste these five years, what do you think you have left?"

Hearing this, Bai Ziqi looked vigorously at Bai Chong.

Bai Chong folded his arms on his chest, "Do you really think that your father is the dean, and you have a hospital and a school waiting to be inherited? Neither the hospital nor the school is mine, let alone yours. When you are lucky, you may be able to find a job that earns thousands of dollars a month, and you can live a life like most people in this city after running around and working hard."

Bai Ziqi seemed to be offended by these words, his chest heaved and he said, "Then have you ever taken responsibility for me?"

Bai Chong told him: "Every word I tell you now is responsible to you, do you want to hear it?"

Bai Ziqi struggled, and he shouted: "You are irresponsible at all! You are a hypocrite!" After saying this, he turned around and ran towards the stairs.

Seeing Song Wenran standing on the stairs, Bai Ziqi was taken aback, but continued to walk upstairs.It's just that after passing Song Wenran and going up a few more stairs, he stopped suddenly and asked Song Wenran, "Is the injury better?"

But in just a few hours, how could it be any better?Even so, Song Wenran still responded, "It's much better."

Bai Ziqi looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, he hesitated for a moment and continued to walk upstairs to his own room on the third floor.

Bai Chong also turned off the light in the living room at this time, and walked towards the stairs. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked steadily. He walked up to Song Wenran, stopped and said, "You still not sleeping at this late?"

Song Wenran looked at him and said, "I'm going to sleep."

Bai Chong nodded, and said softly: "Go back and sleep well. I will rest at home these few days and don't need to do anything."

Song Wenran said, "Okay."

Bai Chong raised a hand and patted his arm, "Go."

That night, Song Wenran didn't sleep well because he couldn't move his arms and didn't dare to turn over at will.And before dawn, the biological clock woke him up accurately, and he could no longer fall asleep while lying on the bed with his eyes open.

He didn't get up immediately because it was too early and he had nothing to do.But after lying on the bed for a while, and hearing Bai Chong's footsteps passing along the corridor and slowly going down the stairs, he still couldn't hold back, and sat up with his left hand propped up.

When Song Wenran came down from the second floor, Bai Chong was already eating breakfast. When he saw Song Wenran walking into the dining room, he said to him, "Sit down, what do you want for breakfast, if you don't have anything, you can ask Auntie to go out and buy it."

"It's not so troublesome," Song Wenran said, "Eat what you have."

Bai Chong picked up the coffee and took a last sip, put the empty cup back on the table and stood up.

Song Wenran looked up at him, "How to get to the hospital?"

"I asked Xiao Zhang to pick me up," Bai Chong said, "don't worry, I'll be back in the evening."

Before leaving, Bai Chong returned to the entrance of the dining room and said to Song Wenran, "Tell Bai Ziqi, I hope he doesn't go out today, but stays at home and does his homework first."

Song Wenran was holding a deep-fried dough stick in one hand, looked at Bai Chong and asked, "Why won't he listen?"

Bai Chong said: "If you don't listen, just let him go, you don't have to worry about it."

Song Wenran responded, "Oh."

Bai Chong smiled at him, turned and left.

No one went to wake Wen Qian up. She didn't wake up until after nine o'clock in the morning, and Bai Ziqi slept until almost eleven o'clock. When I got down, I saw Song Wenran who was teaching Wen Qian to write, sitting next to the sofa in the living room.

The nanny aunt asked him if he wanted breakfast.

Bai Ziqi said, "Don't eat, I want to go out."

He didn't say hello to Song Wenran and the others. He grabbed his thick coat and put it on before going out. When he reached the door, Song Wenran stopped him.

"Your father asked me to tell you something," Song Wenran stood up, looked at him and said.

Bai Ziqi stopped, "What?"

Song Wenran said: "Your father said that he hoped that you would not go out today, but stay at home and do your winter vacation homework first."

After hearing this sentence, Bai Ziqi narrowed his eyes slightly and his chest heaved violently. He asked Song Wenran, "What if I don't?"

Song Wenran stretched out his left hand as a gesture of invitation, "Please come."

Bai Ziqi muttered in a low voice, "There is something wrong."

He didn't talk to Song Wenran anymore, walked into the yard, stood for a while and then came back, standing at the door and shouting at the nanny and auntie, asking where his father's sports car keys were.

The nanny ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron and answered him loudly: "Oh! How would I know! Call your father!"

Bai Ziqi stood at the door angrily, and after a while he said angrily, "Forget it!" He came back into the room and ran upstairs while taking off his coat.

Wen Qian was writing numbers in her notebook, she looked up at Bai Ziqi coming in and out, and asked Song Wenran, "What's wrong with that brother?"

Song Wenran answered her: "My brother went back upstairs to do his homework."

"Oh," Wen Qian drew two circles on the notebook with a pen, "he is so fierce."

Song Wenran smiled, "Don't bother with him, just stay away from him."

Wen Qian nodded obediently, firmly remembering Song Wenran's words.

During lunch, the nanny called Bai Ziqi down.Bai Chong didn't come back at noon, and together with the nanny, four of them had dinner.The nanny was a little happy. She said that no one had eaten lunch with her for a long time, and she had been too lazy to do lunch before.

Bai Ziqi sat across from Song Wenran, with his head buried and only focused on eating. After finishing the food in his bowl, he looked up and saw Song Wenran holding a spoon in his left hand, slowly putting the food into his mouth with some difficulty.

He pushed his empty bowl away, got up, walked to Song Wenran and sat down, picked up the clean chopsticks next to Song Wenran's bowl, and asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll get it for you."

Song Wenran said, "No need."

Bai Ziqi snorted coldly, and put a piece of fried pork in Song Wenran's bowl.When he put down his chopsticks, he saw Wen Wenqian peeking at him, so he asked, "What are you looking at?" He felt that his tone had calmed down, but Wenqian was obviously frightened, and hurriedly hid behind Song Wenran with a bowl , just blocking Bai Ziqi's sight.

Song Wenran turned his head and whispered to Wen Qian, "It's okay, eat obediently."

Bai Ziqi asked Song Wenran: "Did you live in my house until your shoulder healed?"

Song Wenran nodded after thinking about it for a while, "So for every irresponsible behavior of yours, your father will clean up the mess for you."

Bai Ziqi showed a troubled expression.

Song Wenran continued: "Do you still remember the time you knocked me out? Have you ever thought about what would you do if something happened to me or if I called the police?"

Bai Ziqi didn't answer.

Song Wenran knew what he was thinking, and said, "Anyway, your father is protecting you, so he won't let you go to jail, right?"

Bai Ziqi finally couldn't bear it and said, "Can you stop talking about this? I'm so bored."

Song Wenran shrugged his shoulder, which was only half intact, and motioned for himself not to speak.

Bai Ziqi sat quietly for a while, but said to himself: "They were the ones who pushed me. They said nothing would happen. It's just a security guard." He still remembers their original words: a security guard, even if you kill him It was an accident, and we have a sense of proportion, we will not kill him, just tease him, what are we afraid of?The hospital belongs to your father, can you do it?

Song Wenran nodded, "So it's all their fault, it's none of your business."

This sentence is the same as what Bai Chong said to him last night, Bai Ziqi suddenly felt a little headache, he raised his fist and hit his head hard a few times, stood up and said, "Forget that I'm sorry, I owe you." After finishing speaking After these, Bai Ziqi left the dining room and ran upstairs.

The nanny didn't know what they were talking about, anyway, according to what Song Wenran said, Bai Ziqi must have gotten into trouble, she said: "Ziqi's mother left early, and his father was busy with work and didn't have time to take care of him. His temper is stubborn, the stricter he is, the more stubborn he will be, it's not easy to teach."

Song Wenran smiled and said, "Perhaps puberty hasn't ended yet."

In the afternoon, Wen Qian took a nap and got up and sat on the sofa watching TV dramas with the nanny. Song Wenran had nothing to do, so she took a book and sat in the dining room to read.The book was found in Bai Chong's study. He couldn't read those advanced medical professional books. When he saw a novel about solving suspenseful cases, he took it down and read it.

This kind of life trapped at home with nowhere to go is really a bit aggravating.

Song Wenran wanted to move his hands and feet, but he didn't dare to move his right shoulder. He was worried that when his shoulder healed, all his bones would be stiff.

Suddenly, Song Wenran heard footsteps coming down the stairs, he thought that Bai Ziqi finally couldn't sit still and planned to go out to play.As a result, Bai Ziqi came down from the stairs, and when he appeared in Song Wenran's line of sight, he was holding a book and holding a pen.

Standing at the stairs, Bai Ziqi glanced at the two people watching TV in the living room, and then at Song Wenran who was sitting in the dining room reading a book, then walked to the dining room with his book in his arms, sat down at the dining table and spread the book out.

Only then did Song Wenran realize that it was an exercise book.

Bai Ziqi was doing his homework alone in the room on the third floor. When he came out to use the toilet, he heard the sound of the TV coming from the first floor. He suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go downstairs to stay with other people.

Song Wenran saw him come here to do his homework, and asked him, "Won't the TV disturb you?"

Bai Ziqi glanced at him, "Aren't you reading too?"

Song Wenran picked up the book and showed him the cover, "I'm reading a novel."

Bai Ziqi waved his hand, and said impatiently, "Whatever, leave me alone." He took a pencil, wrote, drew, and sketched in the exercise book, filled in the answers after calculation, and erased the draft with an eraser. Lose.

Song Wenran watched him for a while, got up and asked the nanny to turn down the TV volume, then came back to the dining room and sat down, continuing to read his crime-solving novel.

Bai Chong didn't come back until after get off work in the afternoon.

During dinner, there was still nothing to say between Bai Ziqi and him.After dinner, Bai Chong asked Song Wenran to take Wen Qian out for a walk.

There is a park not far from the community where Bai Chong lives, and many people come here for walking and exercising at night.

Because he was afraid that someone would touch Song Wenran's hand, Bai Chong let him walk on the inside all the time, and held Wen Qian's hand himself, telling her not to run around.Later, we came to a lawn where many children were playing on slides and seesaws. Bai Chong let Wen Qian go and let her play by herself. Wen Qian excitedly ran to line up behind the children, wanting to play on the slide.

Song Wenran and Bai Chong stood beside her and looked at her.

Bai Chong suddenly asked: "Do you have the key to your office?"

Song Wenran nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Chong said: "Is there anything that needs to be tidied up? Let Xiao Zhang stay in your office during this time, otherwise he won't have a place to rest at noon."

Song Wenran responded, "I have the key, and I'll get it to you when I get back." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow, and I'll simply pack my things."

Bai Chong looked at him, "If you have anything, I'll help you take it away."

Song Wenran sighed, "My hand is still intact, I can do simple things."

Bai Chong smiled, turned his head slightly in his direction, and said, "Do you want to stay with me?"

After a long time, Song Wenran gave a very soft "hmm".

Just as he was giving the answer, the cell phone in his coat pocket rang.Before he could do anything, Bai Chong took the initiative to help him take out the phone, and the name on the caller ID was Chen Jie.

Song Wenran wanted to come by himself, but Bai Chong had already connected the phone and handed the phone to his ear.

Chen Jie's voice came over the phone: "Hello? Wen Ran?"

Song Wenran was very close to Bai Chong. He wasn't sure if Bai Chong could hear Chen Jie's voice on the phone, so he suddenly became a little nervous and said, "Hello, Chen Jie? What's the matter?"

Chen Jie chuckled twice, with a low voice, "I can't call you if I have nothing to do?"

Song Wenran could only forcefully smile, "Of course, it's okay to chat, how are you doing?"

Chen Jie answered him: "It's pretty good, it's just like that anyway. How about you?"

Song Wenran said: "It's also pretty good."

Chen Jie asked him, "Do you still remember the green pepper sauce that my mother used to make?"

"Huh?" Song Wenran hesitated for a while, recalling that when they were in the army, Chen Jie's mother sent green pepper sauce from home, and the two of them used it with steamed buns for dinner. He always thought it tasted good and liked it very much.

Chen Jie said: "My mother sent me a big bottle from home. Is it convenient for you these two days? I'll bring you some."

Song Wenran subconsciously glanced at Bai Chong, Bai Chong had been looking at him, and when he saw him looking at him, he smiled at him.

For some reason, Song Wenran felt that Bai Chong must have heard what Chen Jie said to him, and he was a little hesitant, whether it was to agree to the other party or find an excuse to refuse, it seemed that it was not good.

However, Chen Jie sensed his hesitation and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

"No," Song Wenran said, "Where are you? How about I come to you."

Chen Jie laughed, "I rented a run-down house with no fixed place to live, so don't come here. If you are free tomorrow, let's meet at a place and I'll bring it for you."

Before Song Wenran answered, Bai Chong suddenly said softly: "Come to the hospital." Song Wenran was stunned, and looked at him.

Chen Jie said: "Is someone by your side?" He heard Bai Chong's voice very sensitively.

Song Wenran said: "No, let's do it this way. I will go to Chongyi tomorrow. Let's meet in the hospital in the morning."

Chen Jie replied: "Okay, then call tomorrow."

Song Wenran looked at Bai Chong, and said to Chen Jie on the phone, "Well, goodbye."

Bai Chong took the phone away from his ear, hung up the phone, and asked him, "Who is it?"
