Chapter 22
Chapter 22
After all, it's the end of the year, Qin Lichuan can't appear often, but because of the child's affairs, he still has more contacts.
Although most of the topics are about babies, the man is already satisfied, at least the chat window at the top of his social media has always been Xia Chen.
During lunch, I just started a video with my baby on Xia Chen's mobile phone, and I made an appointment to see her in the evening. I can only rush forward with work in the afternoon, and I don't even have time to drink water.
In a hurry, he even rejected a dinner with a government official before bringing a gift to the hospital.
However, the result of not having time to look at the phone all afternoon was that when he arrived at the ward, he bumped into Qin Qing and Siyi who were about to leave.
Siyi was not too surprised, because he probably knew that Xia Chen and Qin Lichuan would also meet in private, but Qin Qing was different. Seeing her brother coming here with big bags and small bags, he almost thought it was a Visiting mother-in-law.
There was a moment of silence in the air. Qin Qing paused and was about to speak when the baby on the bed preempted her.
"Uncle, come quickly, my brother drew a very beautiful picture for me today..."
Xia Chen, "..."
Qin Qing was not in a hurry to leave now, she turned around and pulled Siyi into the room again, rubbing her chin and watching her brother's unusual behavior with interest.
The ward is very large, and it doesn't look crowded when everyone is standing.
At the beginning, Qin Qing and Siyi only knew that someone had sponsored the child, but only now did they know that this person was probably their brother.
Seeing Qin Lichuan sitting on the edge of the bed and talking to the baby with ease, the corner of Qin Qing's mouth was about to have a stroke. Who will tell her that this is really her own brother, Mr. Qin Lichuan?
After a while, I couldn't help poking Xia Chen in front of me.
"What's the matter? What's the matter with my brother?"
Xia Chen touched his nose, and didn't think of how to explain it for a while, so he could only say lightly, "Come and see the child."
Qin Qing nodded, and continued, "But I don't know when you two became acquainted." She nodded her chin, "Why do you think my brother is so suspicious?"
Xia Chen remained silent, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "He seems to like children very much..."
"It's strange!" Qin Qing scoffed at this, "It's strange that you like children so much."
Xia Chen, "..."
Siyi said pertinently from the side, "What's so strange about this, a man will overflow with paternal love when he reaches a certain age, especially when he sees a baby girl, he can't walk at all."
"Really?" Qin Qing was very skeptical, "Could it be that my brother is so old now? He can't look at it from the eyes of an ordinary man..."
Ren Siyi twitched the corners of her mouth, "Tsk tsk, your brother is still your brother." She glanced at the man holding the girl again, "He is so handsome that he has never been seen before, and he really can't be regarded as an ordinary man."
It's a pity that Qin Qing didn't notice Siyi's expression, didn't understand what it meant, and murmured, "That must not be counted. Since I can remember, there is no female creature beside this person besides the secretary, not even a mother. God knows he would like children?!"
Xia Chen couldn't help laughing, what Qin Qing said was a little selfless, Qin Lichuan must have heard it.
The hand of the man feeding the baby obviously paused.
As soon as she said this, Ren Siyi took another look at Xia Chen, "How can it be so exaggerated? You haven't seen it before, and it doesn't mean you don't have it..."
Qin Qing was noncommittal to these words, and after watching for a while, she slowly stood behind Qin Lichuan.
The man was about to ask Xia Chen if the two of them had dinner, when he was taken aback by his sister.
The baby giggled amused by Qin Lichuan's reaction, "Sister is so fun..."
Qin Qing pinched her fair and tender face, "Sister is not fun, but uncle is fun!"
Everyone was amused by this address, Qin Lichuan turned to look at the cutie on the bed, "Don't call him uncle next time, call him brother." This is a different generation.
Baobao doesn't quite understand the difference. In her opinion, Qin Lichuan is an uncle, and Qin Qing and Xia Chen are brothers and sisters.
When Qin Qing and Siyi were about to leave, they pulled Qin Lichuan out and muttered for a while before letting him back.
Xia Chen had already gone out to eat with Qin Qing and Siyi, but the baby was still waiting, Qin Lichuan was feeding the baby, and occasionally stuffed two mouthfuls into his mouth.
Xia Chen looked at it both funny and sad.
"I've already sent you a message, telling you to come back after eating, and don't look at your phone."
"I'm so busy. I ordered the secretary in advance in the afternoon. I have to come over when I see the news." Qin Lichuan wiped the baby's mouth while speaking.
He used to think that he might never come into contact with this kind of small mollusc creatures, but now looking at this child, with a small nose, a small mouth, and small fingers, he just felt that everything was cute, and he was so white and tender. Like a doll.
Maybe it's like what Siyi said, when you reach an age, you will naturally like it.
"Don't come here when you're busy for a few days, I'll just stay here." Xia Chen was drawing on the side while talking to the two of them.
Recently, when the two of them are interacting, he always draws them openly and aboveboard. Qin Lichuan is no longer surprised, and the baby will also cooperate with him in posing.
Qin Lichuan turned around and glanced at Xia Chen who was immersed in the drawing, "Tomorrow is the weekend, I will have a day off, do you want to go out to get some air?"
Xia Chen raised his eyes and glanced at him, "It's so cold, let's not do it."
The man continued to feed the baby, "There will be surgery in two days, you have to stay here, I told Qin Qing just now, let her come with my mother for a day, you go back to rest and relax by the way. "
"Your mother" Xia Chen couldn't help asking.
"Well, didn't you say it was funded in the name of my mother last time? She has been doing charity. When I told you about it, she checked the orphanage's information and kept saying that she wanted to see the baby."
Xia Chen nodded, not knowing what to say.
Seeing the silence, the man couldn't help beating his heart, "Do you mind?"
Xia Chen was taken aback, "...Of course not, I don't have any position to mind, this is a good thing, your mother should come over."
Qin Lichuan nodded, "Then shall I let them come over tomorrow?"
Xia Chen nodded, and glanced at the obediently fed baby, "Well, you can arrange it."
Although he said he liked him, Qin Lichuan hardly ever did anything to force him. Instead, he always considered his feelings and thought of him. He didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all, and even got along with him very naturally.
This is something that Xia Chen finds it difficult to feel in others.
Early the next morning, Xia Chen talked to the baby, explained to the nurses and nurses in charge, and took the bag back.
But unlike what he thought, Qin Lichuan's car arrived half an hour earlier, and he stood not far from the hospital entrance watching him drive in.
Xia Chen walked into the shadows, but Qin Lichuan couldn't see him.
Seeing the person successfully entered the parking lot, he walked out.
The sun outside seemed to be extraordinarily warm today. Unlike usual, he did not go to a place with few people, but went to the nearby Central Park, where he basked in the sun for a long time.
It may be that he has been in the shadows for a long time, and he suddenly longs for the sunshine outside.
During this time in the hospital, he was very emotional, not only about the baby, but also about the stories in the same department.
The baby was very rough at first, but Qin Lichuan and his mother were willing to support her and be responsible for her life until she graduated from university. This was a great luck.
And for him, being able to successfully get into University A, going so far, and then meeting Qin Lichuan was also a big difference in his life.
Maybe, what he needs is to open his heart and move forward.
Nothing else is a reason.
The purpose of Qin Lichuan's coming here ahead of time was to let his mother meet Xia Chen. His mother knew about his sexual orientation as early as the year their father left, so even when he reached the age in the past few years, he never said anything about marriage. What.
Her only extravagant hope is that Qin Lichuan can find someone who can accompany him for the rest of his life, no matter male or female.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chen had already left early.
The baby is still a little suspicious. Although Qin Qing came here once yesterday, she is still not familiar with him. She can only cling to Qin Lichuan, holding the man's neck and refusing to let go.
He Yu was very relieved to see it, and never thought that her son would have such a picture.
"The child likes you, just hold it."
Qin Lichuan was suffering and couldn't tell. He had agreed to take a break, and he wanted to take Xia Chen out for a walk. It's the end of the year, and he didn't see anyone buying anything new. If things go on like this, maybe this year he will really make do in the hospital. up.
"Baby, grandma bought you a doll, do you want to kiss grandma? They are all the ones that can be changed?" Qin Qing took the doll apart to tease her.
The baby glanced at the doll, then at Qin's mother who was sitting and smiling at him, turned his head, and hugged Qin Lichuan's neck tightly again, "I only want uncle."
Qin Qing twitched the corners of her lips, then rolled her eyes at her brother, she didn't know how this person coaxed the child in private, the baby was so clingy to him.
"Baby, what did uncle and brother tell you yesterday? What should you do when you see grandma?"
The baby has been taking medicine for a long time due to illness, and his physical development is not as good as that of his peers. A small one, clinging to the man's arms and holding Qin Lichuan's neck, looks completely pitiful.
Hearing the man's words, she cast a pitiful glance at Qin Qing who was in front of her with drooping eyes, and then poked her head out to take a sneak peek at He Yu who was sitting beside her.
"Grandma came to see you specially today. If you ignore her, will she be very sad?"
Qin Lichuan held her with one hand and let the baby sit on his lap, "Look at grandma, grandma bought your favorite dried fruit, hurry up and say hello to grandma."
The baby grabbed the clothes on Qin Lichuan's chest with one hand, and the man's arm with the other.
After a pause for a few seconds, she finally said, "...Hello grandma, my name is Baobao."
