Reborn for dating a paranoid

Chapter 23 "Don't Be Afraid"

"Your mother called me just now." Wang Jianguo frowned and paused: "Why isn't your phone turned on?"

Usually Zhiyuan is very strict about students using mobile phones, but the teachers also know that basically these students carry mobile phones with them, and as long as they are not using them during class time, they will turn a blind eye to them .

Hearing this, Ji Bai quickly took out his phone from his pocket, pressed it twice, but the screen didn't turn on: "...the battery is out."

"No wonder the family couldn't get in touch with you..." Wang Jianguo's expression was slightly solemn, looking at Ji Bai and said in a deep voice, "Just now your mother called and said... your father seems to be hospitalized, you should go back now Bar."

At the end, afraid that Ji Bai would be worried, Wang Jianguo added: "But don't think too much, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Thank you teacher, I understand, I'll go back now." Ji Bai felt a little uneasy, nodded at Wang Jianguo, turned around and prepared to leave.

"...However," Ji Bai pursed his lips and stopped, looked in the direction of the auditorium, hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Wang, if He Chen looks for me later, can you please tell him for me, I I have something to go home, so don't worry about it."

Wang Jianguo subconsciously nodded in agreement, and waved his hand to signal that he knew, "Don't worry, I'll tell him later, you go quickly, and pay attention to safety on the road."

"Thank you teacher." Ji Bai heaved a sigh of relief and left quickly.

Seeing that Ji Bai was gone, Wang Jianguo turned around and prepared to go back to class. Ji Bai was one of the most satisfying students he had ever taken care of. If it wasn't for the fact that today was the welcome party, a group of brats in the class were making a fuss, and the head teacher couldn't leave. Yes, he wanted to send Ji Bai back personally——

wrong.

When did Ji Bai and He Chen have such a good relationship?

He Chen's face appeared in his mind, and Wang Jianguo instantly felt a bit of a headache. Even if the evil spirit of the He family had a bad temper, he had a strong background and could neither beat nor scold him.

Wang Jianguo was heartbroken: I knew that the two of us would not be allowed to sit at the same table, so we couldn't have spoiled Ji Bai!

After leaving the school gate, Ji Bai took a taxi and rushed to the hospital.

At the beginning, Ji Bai's adoptive parents, Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan, were infertile. They were both down-to-earth and honest people. In the orphanage, because Ji Bai had the same surname as Ji Yonghong, the couple felt that they were destined. Treat them like their own children, after so many years, Ji Bai has already regarded them as his own biological parents in his heart.

After Ji Bai's car accident in the previous life, faced with the high cost of surgery, even though their family's conditions were not good, Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan did not hesitate to spend all their savings over the years in the hospital, and desperately begged the doctor to save him.

In the memory of Ji Bai's previous life, Ji Yonghong's body was always in good health, how could he be hospitalized suddenly in this life?

With his heart in a mess, Ji Bai settled down and tried to comfort himself that it shouldn't be a big deal.

Because the phone was out of battery, Ji Bai first went to the front desk when he arrived at the hospital. After searching around the hospital, he saw Chen Yejuan who was holding a water bottle with a haggard face and was about to enter the ward.

Chen Yejuan came out to help Ji Yonghong fetch hot water, but when she suddenly saw Ji Bai at this moment, she froze.

"You child, why are you here?" Chen Yejuan was a little flustered, quickly wiped away the tears on her face, took Ji Bai's hand and led him to the corridor of the ward: "Isn't today the school's welcome party? What are you doing in the hospital? .”

Ji Bai saw Chen Yejuan's red eyes at a glance, and his heart sank, unwilling to let his mother worry, Ji Bai took the water bottle from Chen Yejuan's hand, and said softly, "The school activities are over."

"Teacher Wang asked me to come... He said that Dad is in the hospital." Ji Bai glanced at the direction of the ward, and pursed his lips: "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"

"Oh, who told you Teacher Wang to tell you!"

Chen Yejuan was a little anxious, she did call Wang Jianguo at night, but that was because Ji Yonghong was hospitalized, and he would definitely not get better in a while, she was afraid that Ji Bai would be worried when he found out when he came home on the weekend, so she wanted Wang Jianguo to tell Ji Yonghong Bai, don't come back this weekend.

"My child, you study hard at school. Your father is fine... just fell down, and he will be fine in a few days—" Chen Yejuan straightened the folds of Ji Bai's shirt, and sighed: "You are a child, What are you doing here, it’s so late, what will you do when you go back to the school dormitory and the doors are closed?”

"Mom—" Ji Bai held Chen Yejuan's hand, "We are a family, Dad is hospitalized, how could I pretend not to know."

Hearing Chen Yejuan say that Ji Yonghong just fell, Ji Bai heaved a sigh of relief, but he asked quickly, "Dad fell? Where did the injury happen? What did the doctor say?"

Hearing this, Chen Yejuan's eyes instantly turned red.

Fearing that her son would find out, she quickly lowered her head and wiped her face, then raised her head and smiled at Ji Bai: "Of course it's not serious, just lie down for a few days and it will be fine."

Ji Bai's heart sank.

Chen Yejuan didn't seem to want Ji Bai to go in and have a look at Ji Yonghong, she only reasoned that the doctor gave him medicine and he was already asleep.

Ji Bai shook his head and refused to leave.

The two of them stalemate for a while, Chen Yejuan had no choice but finally sighed, "Then go in and see your dad."

"You child...you still have solid eyes at such a big age."

It is summer.

The beds in the hospital were tight, and there were eight patients in the ward of more than ten square meters.

Ji Yonghong is at the very inside.

Gauze was wrapped on the forehead, and blood could still be seen oozing from the gauze.

His face was also bruised and swollen.

One leg was wrapped in a plaster cast and could not move.

The nearly 50-year-old man was lying on the hospital bed with a sad face, looking very miserable and pitiful.

Where did this fall?Ji Bai's heart sank in an instant. He pursed his lips and took a step forward, putting the water bottle under the hospital bed: "Dad—"

"Son... why are you here?" When Ji Yonghong saw Ji Bai, he became anxious for a moment, struggling to get up, he didn't know where he bumped into, the pain made him softly "hiss", and he was afraid that Ji Bai would feel uncomfortable when he saw it. Comfortable, forced a smile at him: "It's okay, Dad accidentally fell down, don't look at the doctor's serious treatment, in fact, it will be fine in a few days, don't worry, ah."

"What's going on—" Ji Bai settled down, "It's clearly not from a wrestling."

Looking at Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan, Ji Bai said softly: "Dad, Mom, I'm not a child anymore, what's the matter, can't we solve it together as a family?"

Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan looked at each other. After a long while, Ji Yonghong's brows tightly condensed into a "Sichuan character", and he sighed long.

Because of the bad economic environment before, the couple's wages became more and more stretched, so after Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan combined, they took out part of their savings and set up a shop in a commercial street in City A. A fast food restaurant.

The two are hardworking, the ingredients are fresh, the dishes are plentiful, and the business is naturally not bad.

When their business is good, they are naturally easy to be envied.

At noon, a few people came to the store and sat down to eat. They ordered ordinary stir-fry according to the menu. It was nothing at first, but after the dishes came, things started to go wrong.

"Boss, your stuff is not fresh, the meat seems to have been stored for several days."

"There are bugs, tsk tsk."

"It's not kind, who would dare to eat this kind of thing."

Several people were booing in the store, noisy and noisy, and when Ji Yonghong came out from the back kitchen, the other customers in the fast food restaurant were all driven away by these few people.

At first, Ji Yonghong explained seriously, saying that their food was bought from the vegetable market early in the morning, so it couldn't be bad, but those few people didn't listen to Ji Yonghong's explanation at all, and they didn't say anything. Not clean.

Then, a few people who deliberately came to make trouble moved their hands.

Chen Yejuan wiped her eyes, looked at Ji Bai and said in a low voice: "When I went back, I saw your father lying on the ground and sent him to the hospital immediately, but don't worry, the doctor said that you should rest in the hospital for a few days It's all right—"

"It must have been done by the store behind." Ji Yonghong gritted his teeth, "I recognize one of them, he is an employee of the store behind."

After finishing speaking, Ji Yonghong coughed, leaned against the back of the hospital bed, and forced a smile at Ji Bai: "Dad is fine, don't you think I'm fine?"

"We are duty-bound people, and we can't care about those gangsters. Don't worry, your parents have already called the police, and the police will deal with it, ah."

Ji Bai took a deep breath and nodded.

He knew there was nothing he could do now, and that any emotion he showed would worry his parents.

Ji Bai bent down and picked up the water bottle, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Ji Yonghong: "Dad, after talking for a long time, drink some water and rest for a while."

Ji Yonghong nodded, took the cup that Ji Bai handed over, smiled, turned his head away, and said to the man in the next bed: "Old Wu, I was talking to you just now, this is my son!"

"I'm a sophomore in Zhiyuan, let me tell you, he's the first in his grade, and he gave a speech at school today."

Ji Bai sat down and chatted with Ji Yonghong for a while, and then ran up and down the hospital with Chen Yejuan to go through procedures.

When it was past nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Yejuan urged him to go back to school quickly.

"You have also seen that your father is fine." Chen Yejuan raised her hand and patted Ji Bai's shoulder, and smiled at him: "Mom will go back to the shop to clean up later, you go back to school Well, the dormitory will be closed anytime later.”

"There are no buses at this point. Take a taxi. It's safe to take a taxi. Mom will reimburse you."

Ji Bai shook his head, and took the bag from Chen Yejuan's hand, "Mom, I'll accompany you back to the store, and I'll go back to school tomorrow morning. The two of you can pack faster, and you can come back early to accompany my dad."

Chen Yejuan originally wanted to refuse, but Ji Bai paused, and then added: "I'm worried about you going back alone."

So, Chen Yejuan, feeling sore and relieved at the same time, nodded, and patted Ji Bai's arm: "Okay, our son has really grown up."

The area of ​​the fast food restaurant is small, more than [-] square meters, and it is usually cleaned up very clean by Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan.

Because it was too urgent to send Ji Yonghong to the hospital in the afternoon, the door of the fast food restaurant was wide open at this moment, and the tables, chairs and benches inside were overturned, as well as broken glass, dishes and the like.

Chen Yejuan walked in front and turned on the light, her hands trembling slightly with anger, she turned her head to look at Ji Bai, and forced a smile at him, "Walk slowly, don't step on the glass."

Ji Bai didn't speak.

He has not been to this store for a long time.

After his car accident in the previous life, Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan once wanted to sell this fast food restaurant in order to raise money.Later, He Chen appeared and paid for all the expenses of Ji Bai's surgery and hospitalization. After his physical condition stabilized a bit, he transferred him to the nursing home under the He family and found the best doctors and nursing team.

Ji Bai's body turned into a vegetative state, and his soul turned into a cat. He only knew that it was He Chen who helped him take care of Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan.

The same goes for this fast food restaurant. Afraid that they would be working too hard, He Chen seemed to have specially hired someone to help.

After returning from rebirth, Ji Bai's mind was full of He Chen, and he never thought of coming here to take a look.

Ji Bai squatted on the ground to pick up glass shards, and suddenly wanted to congratulate Chen.

Looking at the time, the school's welcome party should have ended. He Chen played the piano very well, and he sang that song very well.

Did you look for him after he stepped down?

What was your reaction when you saw he wasn't there?

Ji Bai swept all the glass shards into the trash can, stood there for a while, and took out the phone from his pocket.

Black screen.

Ji Bai exhaled, and put the phone back into his pocket again.

He rubbed his somewhat stiff face. In his previous life, it was because he became a cat and couldn't do anything. He could only stay by He Chen's side, and got used to the life that this person took care of everything for him.

Everything in this life has been started all over again, how can something happen and you can't get used to it?

Helping Chen Yejuan to straighten the table and chairs, Ji Bai was about to say something when suddenly there was a loud noise at the door.

"Hey, the proprietress is back." The boss of the fast food restaurant behind heard the noise here, stepped on the tableware and dishes that fell on the floor, and walked over, looking around at the scene of the restaurant, "What's going on, my afternoon meal I was still thinking about why you didn’t close the door, and there was no one in the store.”

"Someone came to make trouble?" The owner of the fast food restaurant sighed a long time, "Hey, this area of ​​City A is already chaotic. You just opened the store not long ago. I don't know. In business, you should pay attention to harmony. Making money, right? What about Lao Ji, why didn’t you see him? Hey, he was injured in a fight, right? That’s not good, hey, it’s so pitiful—”

Chen Yejuan is not a violent temper, on the contrary, she has always been gentle and simple in life.

But no matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't tolerate the cynicism of the person in front of him.

She stood up abruptly, clenched her fists, and couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Chen, do you think we don't know that you did it? Let me tell you, we have already called the police, just wait for the police to come to you! "

The owner of the fast food restaurant surnamed Chen was not afraid when he heard this, but instead smiled: "Miss Boss, you need to give evidence for what you say. I have been busy in the store all afternoon today..."

"It's your old Ji," Boss Chen clicked his tongue, "he was seriously injured? How did he get beaten up? Ma'am, you have to be careful, don't let it be that he caused some romantic debts outside, and someone else's husband came to the door, right? "

Ji Bai took a deep breath, and tightened his grip on the broom.

Glancing at Chen Yejuan who was trembling with anger, he took a step forward, walked straight to Boss Chen who was still talking non-stop, and beat him hard with the handle of a broom, and when Boss Chen staggered, , followed by a kick up.

Ji Bai's lips moved slightly, and he cursed in his heart: You dare to ask someone to beat my dad.

Boss Chen did not expect Ji Bai to do it suddenly.

To be precise, he saw Ji Bai a long time ago, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, what can a half-grown boy in school uniform do?

Caught off guard by Ji Bai's kick, Boss Chen took a step back and bumped his waist against the table. He gasped, and it took him a while to recover.

But the person who can think of someone to make trouble at the fast food restaurant opened by Ji Yonghong and Chen Yejuan is naturally not an ordinary honest businessman.

Being kicked by a teenage student, Boss Chen was so angry that he rushed forward and wanted to fight back.

Originally, Ji Bai saw Ji Yonghong injured like that in the hospital and had already suppressed his anger. At this moment, he didn't care about other things, so he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

The two wrestled into a ball.

After all, Ji Bai is only a 17-year-old boy. Compared with a grown man in his 40s like Boss Chen, he suffers in terms of strength. When Teacher Chen hit him with several heavy punches on the face, half of Ji Bai's profile instantly disappeared. There was blood.

Seeing her son suffering, Chen Yejuan almost screamed with red eyes, grabbed the wine bottle on the table and went up to help.

But she hadn't had time to move yet.

In the next second, a violent and angry figure came in from outside, pulling Ji Bai back to Chen Yejuan, and only glanced at him.

With just one glance, when he saw the scars on his face, those dark eyes seemed to burst out with terrifying hostility in an instant.

He Shen.

Ji Bai trembled all over, looking at the person in front of him, he couldn't take his eyes off anymore.

He Chen didn't look at him again.

Lowering his eyes, his eyes fell on Boss Chen who had just fought with Ji Bai.

Boss Chen also followed his line of sight and looked at each other. When he saw He Chen's dark and thick eyes that could not see the slightest emotion, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

But after noticing that He Chen was wearing the same school uniform as Ji Baiyi, he calmed down a little, and even sneered in his heart, what do these two young children want to do to him?

So he took a step forward, raised his head slightly, and said with a domineering attitude: "Why, do you want to fight with me too?"

Hearing this, He Chen even curled his lips, as if smiling slightly.

But Boss Chen barely finished speaking, and in the next second, He Chen's fist slammed down on his face.

Punch to the flesh.

Boss Chen didn't even have time to fight back.

It's quiet in the fast food restaurant.

At this moment, only the sound of He Chen's fist hitting the owner of the fast food restaurant could be heard.

Dull and powerful.

It's like hitting the hearts of everyone at the scene.

Chen Yejuan finally came to her senses at this moment, her palms were sweating, she grabbed Ji Bai's hand and said anxiously: "Who the hell is this, I can't beat him anymore, if he keeps beating, he will die!"

But He Chen seemed to be crazy, he kicked the man to the ground and stepped on the man's head.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the beer bottle on the table and picked it up without any hesitation.

He smashed the beer bottle directly on Boss Chen's head, and he bled in an instant.

"He Shen!"

Ji Bai's palms were numb, his throat was unbearably dry, and his heart almost stopped beating.

"Stop hitting, He Chen, stop hitting!"

He Chen still acted as if he had never heard of it.

Kicking Boss Zhao's head with one foot, squinting his eyes, he used the sharpest part of the half-broken beer bottle to reach Boss Zhao's face, and stopped a centimeter away from his eyes.

"Do you dare to hit him?"

"How dare you hit him."

He Chen's eyes were cold and paranoid, making people shudder.

Boss Chen looked at the broken wine bottle in front of him, but couldn't utter a word of begging for mercy, his teeth trembled slightly, his body was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move.

When he was young, he came out to play around.

But I've never seen anyone with such eyes.

He Chen's eyes were red, and the image of Ji Bai lying unconscious on the hospital bed in a car accident in his previous life appeared in his mind, but he was powerless.

The rage in his chest reached its peak at this moment.

He raised his hand, and was about to poke the beer bottle towards Boss Chen almost indifferently.

"elder brother--"

Ji Bai took a sudden step forward and grabbed He Chen's hand.

He tightly grasped He Chen's hand, his eyes were red, and his breath trembled: "Brother, stop hitting... stop hitting, look at me."

He Chen's movements froze.

He turned his head to look at Ji Bai.

At this moment, the young man's voice was full of tears, and tears suddenly accumulated in his eyes as he watched him, and the tears rolled down.

He Chen's movements were slightly sluggish.

His Adam's apple rolled, looking at Ji Bai, hesitatingly raised his hand to wipe his tears.

But his eyes fell on his bloody hands, and his movements paused slightly.

This seemed to be the first time he saw Ji Bai shed tears outside of childhood.

He Chen looked at Ji Bai, and suddenly felt that another faucet had been turned on in his heart, and all that came out was scalding boiling water, with a bang, it poured all over the tenderest and tenderest piece of meat in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he let go, and the beer bottle fell.

He Chen stood up, pursed his lips, looked at Ji Bai, a little at a loss, and said softly after a while, "It's okay, you...don't cry, don't be afraid—"

The author has something to say: He Chen: Sorry, Ji Bai.

In the ten years of the previous life, more than 600 days and nights,

I have thought countless times, I should find you earlier, and then protect you well.

I'm a madman and I'm not afraid of anything.

But I'm afraid you will cry.
