Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Gradually approaching the end of the new year, the streets and alleys can already feel the taste of the year. Whether it is a residential area or a commercial area, Xia Chen pushes the car to buy things. Recently, he almost runs between the orphanage and the hospital, and doesn't go home often.
The baby's operation is being scheduled, Xia Chen went to the orphanage to put down his things before making the final preparations before the operation, and then went to the hospital with his bag.
There are not enough people in the orphanage, and there are almost no people who can stay here and take care of them.
So he just stayed here.
Qin Lichuan came here to get medicine for his mother, and from a long distance, he looked at Xia Chen who was walking towards him with his head down and holding a lunch box. He frowned, and stood in the middle of the corridor without moving.
Seeing that Xia Chen was about to walk around him with his head down, the man grabbed Xia Chen's arm with his backhand.
The person whose arm was grabbed was stunned, and looked up at the person in front of him.
"...Why are you here?"
Qin Lichuan twitched the corners of his mouth, "Why can't I be here when you are here?"
Xia Chen glanced at the people coming and going speechlessly, and pulled out his arm in a daze. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and he was a little bit out of touch.
The man glanced at the lunch box in his hand, "What about you? Why are you here?"
Xia Chen pursed his lips, and stood sideways, "Take care of a sick child."
Qin Lichuan didn't understand, "Child? Where did the child come from?"
Seeing him standing in the middle of the crowd blocking the way, Xia Chen couldn't help reaching out and pulling him to the side, "A child in an orphanage, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Lichuan would send messages to Xia Chen occasionally, but Xia Chen was so busy that he could only reply occasionally. In addition, Qin Lichuan's company was very busy at the end of the year, so he gradually didn't care about how to contact him.
Now that he has finally been caught, the man cannot let him go, so he followed Xia Chen to the baby's ward.
The child is very obedient, he can play with a small toy for a long time, and he is also very obedient when Xia Chen is not around, he seldom cries unless it is really uncomfortable.
The nurses in the entire department cherish this child very much, and have the urge to go back to give birth to monkeys immediately. .
Once back in the ward, a nurse asked Xia Chen to go to the attending physician's office, saying that there was something to do.
After Xia Chen explained to Qin Lichuan and left the ward, only the man and the child were left staring at each other.
The child held a little bear in his arms, and looked at the man in front of him timidly.
Qin Lichuan didn't have any experience with this kind of child, at most he had brought Qin Qing who was like a broken monkey, but now... Seeing the baby like a doll, he was a little dazed.
The ignorance of finding a new world.
The child has black grape-like eyes, a small nose and mouth, and he can even cover her face with one hand. His arms and fingers are also pocket-sized, and he still holds a cute little bear in his arms.
Qin Lichuan felt as if his heart had been rubbed with warm water.
Being stared at so seriously by such a man, the child on the bed was about to cry, and it took a while to pass the bear in his arms to him, "Uncle... do you want to play with this?"
Qin Lichuan came back to his senses, and tried his best to pull out a smile that he thought was very gentle, "No, no, uncle doesn't play, you can play."
The baby pouted even higher, "Doesn't uncle like this little bear?"
The corner of the man's eyes twitched twice, not knowing whether he should say he likes it or not.
"Of course I like it, but my uncle has a lot of bears like this at home, so I won't snatch them from the baby." Qin Lichuan had an intuition that if he coaxed the baby well, Xia Chen's side would not be a problem.
When the baby heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Are there really many?"
Qin Lichuan nodded, "Of course, uncle can take a photo for you next time."
The baby on the bed was completely attracted, and when he smiled, two small dimples appeared on his face, "Okay, I want to see, is it different from my bear?"
When Xia Chen came back, the little girl was being coaxed by the man in a daze, and she was obediently eating the food Qin Lichuan fed her.
"Then can I visit my uncle's house next time?"
I saw Qin Lichuan's expression was unprecedentedly gentle, and his voice was also very kind, "Of course."
Xia Chen pulled the corners of his lips a little funny, and asked him, "What are you talking about?"
Qin Lichuan turned around and glanced at Xia Chen, then booed the child.
The baby smiled knowingly and rolled his eyes, then turned to Xia Chen and said, "This is a secret between me and uncle."
Xia Chen, "..."
The baby's ward is a three-person room, and now there are only two people living there. After eating, another child moved in, accompanied by the sound of parents arguing.
Qin Lichuan frowned, but looked back at Xia Chen and Baobao, they were having fun, as if no one was affected, so he didn't say anything.
The man was leaving later, Xia Chen went out to see him off.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, do you want to take care of the child in the hospital all the time?"
Xia Chen nodded, "The orphanage has always been short of manpower, anyway, I have nothing to do."
Qin Lichuan didn't say much, let Xia Chen go back and drove back by himself.
Xia Chen thought that he just left when he left, but who knew that this person came back with a big food box at night, Xia Chen stared at him.
"Didn't you say the company is busy?"
"I have to eat when I'm busy." Qin Lichuan said, he took out a box of vegetable porridge and put it aside, and winked at the baby, "This is the baby's, don't steal it."
Xia Chen was very speechless, there were so many delicious foods, why did he steal the baby's porridge, and looked back at the excited child, a little speechless, and this person is addicted to playing?
The child on the hospital bed over there was crying, the father was not there, and the mother was secretly wiping tears alone. Xia Chen and Qin Lichuan tried their best to ignore the atmosphere, but they still couldn't escape the family conflict that erupted when the child's father appeared.
The baby is actually very envious of the little boy next to him, because he has parents, but she doesn't.
But in this way, the whole person was frightened, as if having parents was not good.
Qin Lichuan put down his chopsticks, stood up from his seat, and turned to face the parents who vented their dissatisfaction with life regardless of the occasion.
It may be because the aura is too strong, but before he could open his mouth, the air suddenly became quiet.
Xia Chen hesitated and tugged at the man's sleeve.
Qin Lichuan frowned, cast a cold glance at the couple, and strode out directly. Seeing that the man hadn't said anything, the man over there felt that he had lost face and started swearing again.
Fortunately, the child's mother didn't say anything after noticing the beautiful baby on the hospital bed.
Not long after Qin Lichuan went out, he came over with several nurses and an attending physician. Xia Chen didn't know why, so the baby timidly hid behind Xia Chen.
The man stretched out his hand towards the baby, "Hey, come here and hug uncle, let's change to a bigger and more beautiful room, shall we?"
Xia Chen raised his eyes sharply, "What?"
What Qin Lichuan was afraid of was that Xia Chen would have a bad reaction, so before the baby came out, he explained to him, "I checked the situation of the orphanage after I went back in the afternoon, and I have already contacted the director. Funded in my mother's name."
Xia Chen, "..."
When the baby heard that there was a bigger and more beautiful room, a small head popped out from behind Xia Chen, "Really? Is it better than here?"
Qin Lichuan smiled at her, "Yes, it's better than here, and there are many bears and dolls that babies like."
The child subconsciously looked at Xia Chen, and seeing that Xia Chen really nodded at her, he reached out to hug the man.
Qin Lichuan held the little one in his arms, his whole heart felt soft, and the nurse removed the monitoring chip and indwelling tube attached to the child.
Xia Chen packed all the baby's things into the bag, and the three of them went directly to the room that the man had already arranged in the afternoon.
As expected, the baby was stunned when he entered the room, the small potted green plants on the window sill, the sunny dolls, and the dolls beside the bed and sofa.
There are also beautiful and bright wallpapers that make the children's whole childlike innocence flutter.
Seeing that she still couldn't recover, Qin Lichuan smiled and waved his hands in front of her.
"Baby?"
The man put the child on the bed, and said to Xia Chen, "Don't worry, these are all sterilized beforehand, and they have passed the hospital's test, so there won't be any problems."
Xia Chen looked at the man standing with his back to the sun, and said sincerely, "Thank you..."
Qin Lichuan shrugged his shoulders, "I'm only doing it for the sake of the child, so don't think too much about it."
Xia Chen's expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he didn't say anything more and watched the man play with the child.
Girls like dolls, dolls and the like. Seeing these, Qin Lichuan's position in the hearts of the children can be regarded as occupying a large part.
For a long time after that, I kept asking Xia Chen every day, "When is uncle coming? Is uncle still here today? I miss uncle..."
Xia Chen was a little broken, always feeling that his position in the child's heart was slowly being replaced by Qin Lichuan, and he even looked at the man with a bit of resentment.
Qin Lichuan, "..."
