Rebirth of the fallen painter

Ren Xi slept alone at night.He originally planned to explain clearly to Wei Zicheng when he went back to his room to sleep at night.It's just that Wei Zicheng never returned to his room.And Ren Xi was also angry in his heart, so he didn't call Wei Zicheng.In the end, Wei Zicheng didn't wait until he fell asleep in a daze.When I woke up early in the morning the next day, the bedside was still deserted.

He looked at the empty seat for a while, but remained silent.After getting up, he found that Wei Zicheng was not in the room.When the nurse walked by, Ren Xi was hesitant to ask, but the nurse smiled at him enthusiastically, "Mr. Ren, you are awake. By the way, Zi Cheng went out early in the morning and said yes I want to go out for a stroll. So you should eat breakfast by yourself first, Mr. Wei should not come back until noon. "

The nurse quickly brought breakfast into the room.It is a very Chinese meal, soy milk and fried dough sticks.Ren Xi was very uncomfortable when he first came to the UK, because the whole environment, from basic necessities of life to housing and transportation, to people's personalities, was very different from China.He was very anxious almost all day.After noticing this, Wei Zicheng specially asked the nursing home to cook Chinese meals, and Ren Xi also liked to eat these. Not only did he increase his appetite, but he even improved his mood a lot.So several Chinese dishes, including soy milk and fried dough sticks, became a regular meal in the nursing home.

Ren Xi picked up the cup and took a sip of soy milk, but couldn't drink any more.He quietly put down the cup, almost looking in front of him in a daze.

Immediately afterwards there was a burst of hearty laughter. A white man pushed the door open and entered. He looked at Ren Xi curiously, and then laughed, "You must be Ren Xi."

This person obviously has a standard blond and blue-eyed British appearance, but he speaks Mandarin.Although the pronunciation is not standard, but the speech is very fluent.

"you……"

The man walked into the room naturally, then sat down on the opposite sofa, and said with a smile, "You must be surprised that I can speak Chinese. Actually, I studied in China for a while. Although reading Chinese characters gave me a headache, but Spoken English is my forte. How about it, I can speak pretty well."

The man had a sunny and confident smile on his face, Ren Xi nodded, "You are indeed very good. Are you also here to recuperate?"

The man was taken aback, and then he thumped his strong chest with his hands, "You see, I am in such good health that I don't need to recuperate. By the way, I just forgot to tell you that I am the new driver hired by the nursing home. In the future, what do you want to do?" You can tell me where you are going, and I can drive you there. My name is Richard, and I will give you more advice in the future."

"The nursing home also has a driver?"

Richard seemed to be more surprised than Ren Xi, "It's a matter of course. Look at the charges of this nursing home, tsk tsk, that's astronomical. The monthly charge is higher than my original annual salary! This place is really rich. Human habitats are really hateful.” Realizing that he spoke too quickly, Richard smiled shyly, “Don’t mind, I’m not talking about you. Of course, if you are not in good health, you still have to treat it at all costs. .By the way, why are you recuperating here?"

"I'm not sick."

"Eh, but..."

"It's mine... a friend is sick."

Richard was taken aback, then quickly nodded, "So that's how it is."

Richard is a very talkative person, and it didn't take long for him to talk with Ren Xi.Basically, Ren Xi only needs to nod his head, and respond from time to time to show that he is listening.Not long after, the phone on the table rang.

Oscar's name kept jumping on the screen.

I haven't saved Oscar's number, why is it automatically recognized on my phone?Oscar used his mobile phone yesterday, did he save it himself?Ren Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that the phone was on the table, and Wei Zicheng probably saw it yesterday.He went to the police station and hospital for Oscar, and saved the number on his phone, no wonder Wei Zicheng was unhappy.

He answered the phone with mixed feelings, "Hello."

The voice over there was weak, "Ren Xi, come quickly and accompany me."

"what happened?"

"I'm getting annoyed by Ryan. Come here, only you can save me!"

"..." Thinking of Wei Zicheng, Ren Xi hesitated for a moment.

"I've suffered such a serious injury, don't you pity me? I'm suffocated to death in the hospital now, and I'm being annoyed by Ryan. I'm about to collapse."

Remembering that Oscar did have a lot of injuries yesterday, Ren Xi was indeed a little worried, and it was really embarrassing for him to be bored in one place because of Oscar's unruly nature.

Over there, Oscar already used a slightly angry voice, "Are you worried about me at all? Anyway, we are also friends!"

"Okay. I'll be there in a while." Maybe he thought too much, after all, Oscar was only 18 years old, maybe he didn't think about it at all.It is too unreasonable to alienate myself from him because of unwarranted conjectures.

The two talked a few more words before Oscar hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Ren Xi raised his head and said to Richard who had been staring at him, "Can I trouble you to take me to the Central Hospital?"

Richard was taken aback, and then quickly smiled, "Of course, this is my job."

The car soon stopped at the gate of the hospital, and made an appointment with Richard to pick him up at three in the afternoon, and Richard drove elsewhere by himself.

The room was gloomy.Ryan sat beside him with a gloomy expression, obviously he had just had a fight with Oscar.On the other hand, Oscar looked impatient, and didn't even touch the nutritious soup that Ryan brought over.Just as soon as he saw Ren Xi walk into the room, a smile appeared on Oscar's face, and he said, "Why is it so slow, I've been waiting for a long time."

Ren Xi shook his head helplessly, "Richard is already driving very fast, but it's working time at this point."

Oscar looked alert, "Oscar, who is Richard?"

"It's the new driver for the nursing home."

"Nursing home? Are you sick?" Oscar looked at Ren Xi with wide eyes.

Ren Xi couldn't help smiling, "It's not me, it's Wei Zicheng. He was injured, so he's recuperating in a nursing home."

Oscar let out an oh, and then his expression was a bit resentful.But he was only down for a while, and soon he said with enthusiasm, "You peel the apple for me. I really want to eat apples."

Ryan interjected, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, and eating apples on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach."

Oscar didn't answer him at all, and then pushed Ren Xi, "I just want to eat an apple."

Ren Xi looked at the nutritious porridge that was still hot, and persuaded, "You should drink the porridge. You have just been injured, so you should pay attention to your diet."

Oscar was furious, but obviously hesitant.

Seeing that he was loose, Ren Xi took a bowl at the side and poured half a bowl of porridge, then handed it to Oscar, "Eat the porridge first, and I'll peel the apples for you later."

Oscar didn't object anymore, but took the porridge obediently.It seemed that he had just been injured and had trouble moving. When he picked up the porridge, his hand happened to cover half of Ren Xi's hand.And Ren Xi didn't mind, because he was afraid that Oscar would not be able to hold it steady, so he held it in front of him, and only moved his hand after he held it firmly.

It was rare that Oscar did not object this time, and drank the porridge very obediently with his head down.

Ryan glanced at him, then looked at Ren Xidao, "Then I'll go first."

Ren Xi hurriedly stood up, "Aren't you going to sit down for a while?"

"No need. It's enough for you to watch him here." He turned his head to look at Oscar, "Oscar, I'll come and see you tomorrow."

Oscar scoffed at him, "My injury won't heal in a while, you'd better come back when you're sure I'm not disfigured."

Ryan didn't refute any more, and finally turned and left.

Ren Xi sat down and watched Oscar drink the porridge very contentedly, "You are too mean to Ryan."

Oscar didn't raise his head, and concentrated on holding the bowl, "He is also very mean to me. All day long, as long as I don't do things that can make me a star, he opposes everything and doesn't consider my feelings at all. I It seems that he just wants me to debut quickly, and then give him money quickly."

"Isn't that good?"

"I don't care."

Ren Xi paused, and then slowly said, "I care about this very much. I have always hoped that I could stand on the stage, be popular, and let everyone see me. But I haven't succeeded so far. Maybe It is precisely because I didn't get it that my desire was even stronger."

Only then did Oscar look up, staring intently at Ren Xi.

Ren Xi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Look at me, and I said it doesn't matter. In fact, being a star depends on talent, maybe I'm not talented enough."

Oscar immediately said seriously, "If you are not talented enough, who else is? I think you are the most handsome of all Asians I know! By the way, I heard that Wei Zicheng is a superstar? But I think you are a hundred times more handsome than him! As long as you have a chance in the future, you will definitely succeed!"

He was so serious that Ren Xi was momentarily stunned.

Oscar rolled his eyes, and then said, "By the way, do you want to develop in the UK? If you want, you can also sign with Ryan, and then we will form a group. How about we develop together?"

Ren Xi was still surprised at the beginning, but later he couldn't laugh or cry, "Our combination? I haven't heard of a combination of a British and a Chinese." And this guy scolded Ryan away a minute ago, and now he said To sign with Ryan.

"So what. Special enough to stand out. Don't you think it's a good idea?"

Ren Xi smiled and shook his head.

Oscar looked stubborn, "Give it a try. As long as you try, you might become famous overnight. I heard from Ryan that everything in the entertainment industry is unpredictable, and you might become famous overnight."

Ren Xi smiled, "Let's not talk about this, you should eat porridge first."

Oscar looked serious, "Don't change the subject. You must think I was too careless before. How about I make an agreement with you, I will go to every dance class in the future, and I will not hold you back."

Ren Xi smiled and shook his head, "It's not for this reason."

Oscar looked reluctant, "Why can't you agree, this is obviously a very good idea."

"Maybe, but language alone is a big problem. I can communicate with you, but that's because you're used to my accent. Now I'm talking to the British, and they don't understand at all. .”

"Then what, I can teach you."

Ren Xi was taken aback, but still said, "I think it's better for me to develop in China."

Seeing that Ren Xi was clearly determined, Oscar was finally a little discouraged, and he lowered his head and plucked at the nutritious porridge in the bowl.

Ren Xi smiled and said, "Eat it quickly, it's not good for the stomach to eat it after it's cold."

Oscar muttered softly, "I will definitely convince you..."

The voice was too low, and Ren Xi couldn't hear clearly for a while.He asked, "What did you say?"

Oscar quickly changed his expression, and his tone seemed distressed, "Hands are so sore, it's hard to hold a bowl."

Ren Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I'll call the doctor."

Oscar's face twitched, and he hurriedly smiled again, "It's not that serious, it's just that you feed me."

Ren Xi was taken aback, seeing his expectant face, couldn't help laughing, "I need someone to feed me, I'm really like a child."

Oscar didn't defend himself, and just looked at Ren Xi expectantly.Seeing Ren Xi lowered his head slightly, revealing his fair neck, his thin shoulders seemed unable to bear the heavy burden, and seeing the gentle expression on Ren Xi's face made his heart skip a beat.

After taking the first bite of rice, although it was already half-warm, it was not cold.But my heart was full of fire.

Swallowing the first mouthful of rice carefully, he was just about to open his mouth when he heard Ren Xi's cell phone ring.He woke up instinctively, and seeing Ren Xi's nervous expression when he saw the phone ringing, he knew that it must be Wei Zicheng calling.At that moment, he just wanted to smash the phone into pieces, but Ren Xi signaled him to go out for a phone call with his eyes, and he had to put on a smiling face. When Ren Xi went out, he felt that the smile on his face had matched the anger in his chest. The intersecting made him confused.

Ren Xi walked out of the room, and held the phone nervously, "Hello." This morning he thought about explaining to Wei Zicheng, but now that Wei Zicheng took the initiative to call, he became a little nervous.

Wei Zicheng's voice over there was normal, "Where are you? I bought some cherries, don't you always like to eat these, come home."

For a moment, Ren Xi didn't know what to say.If he said he was taking care of Oscar in the hospital, Wei Zicheng would probably be angry again.

He asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

Ren Xi hesitated again and again before saying, "I'm in the hospital."

There was a moment of silence, "Oh, when will you come back?"

The voice was calm, not angry.Ren Xi took a long breath and said, "Zi Cheng, I was too self-willed yesterday, I'm sorry. But Oscar and I are just ordinary friends. I don't mean that to him at all. And in my opinion, He has no other thoughts about me. He is only 18 years old now, several years younger than me, and he can only be regarded as a child."

There was a moment of silence over there, and then said, "I know. I should believe you."

Ren Xi's heart became hot in an instant, "I...I only like you."

This time, there was silence for a long time.Wei Zicheng's voice returned to his usual pampering, "Fool."

Only then did Ren Xi's heart relax.Under complete relaxation, for a while, I didn't know what to say.

Wei Zicheng asked, "What's going on with him?"

"The bruises are still there and the cuts are pretty bad. So I don't think I'll be home until three o'clock today."

"Then I'll go with you."

"What?" Ren Xi couldn't believe his ears.

"He's your friend, and that's my friend. Friends are supposed to take care of each other, aren't they?"

Ren Xi never expected Wei Zicheng's attitude to change so quickly overnight, and he was very moved.

"You don't want me to go?"

"No, I'm glad. It's just that your body doesn't need a rest?"

Only then did Wei Zicheng laugh, "Now I need to exercise more for rehabilitation, and staying in a nursing home for a long time is not good for my health. Just wait, I will be there in about half an hour."

"Well, I'll pick you up outside the door then."
