Chapter 708: She’s At The Hospital
When he saw the old man’s staggering back, the smile on Huo Ci’s face disappeared. His eyes reddened, and his heart ached. His grip on his phone tightened involuntarily.
He had actually not noticed when his father’s back had bent and his walking pace had slowed down. Did he have to walk with a walking stick?
Perhaps only when he was full of energy could he ignore the fact that his father was really old.
After taking a shower, Xiaoqi ran out in his crocodile pajamas, his big eyes sparkling with excitement. He looked up at him. “Grandpa, are they nice?”
Huo Ci asked, “Have you eaten any strawberries?”
Xiaoqi looked at the strawberries and fell silent. He pursed his lips, his att.i.tude indicating that he had not eaten any!
Huo Ci plucked one for him. “Try it!”
Xiaoqi’s big eyes sparkled even more. He swallowed greedily and shook his head. “Xiaoqi just brushed his teeth. Mommy says he can’t eat after brushing his teeth.”
Huo Ci reached out to hand him a strawberry. Upon seeing the brat arrive at the door, he gave her a sideways look. “You’re not eating?”
Ling Sheng ran over with a smile on her face. She picked up a strawberry and took a bite. It was so sweet and sour that it was delicious. “Who said I wouldn’t? I planted them myself!”
Huo Ci looked at Xiaoqi and raised his eyebrows slightly. Your mother has already eaten one. Do you want to eat one?
Upon seeing his mother eat one, Xiaoqi opened his mouth and bit the strawberry. A moment later, his face changed as he looked at him, appearing aggrieved. “Grandpa, it’s sour.”
Huo Ci frowned. Snow White strawberries should be sweet. How could it be sour? The brat was bluffing. He gave it to Ling Sheng. “Try it.”
Ling Sheng’s face was full of question marks. “Why don’t you try it?”
Huo Ci shot her a threatening look.
Ling Sheng took a bite, and her ruddy face withered. Saliva oozed out of her mouth—it was ridiculously sour. “Father, it’s sour!”
Huo Ci looked at the drama queen and her son in front of him, not believing their words. He took a bite out of the remaining half, his handsome face contorting in jealousy.
F*ck!
How bitter!
When Su Xiyin came out, she saw the same expression on all three of their faces. Their faces were awkward as they smiled gently. “What’s wrong?”
Upon seeing the remaining strawberries, Huo Ci pa.s.sed them to her. “Great-grandmother, these strawberries are sour. Try them.”
Su Xiyin said, “If they’re sour, why should I try them?”
So they had eaten sour strawberries. If a person had eaten some, they should just say so. There was no need for the whole family to eat the strawberries after that. Why were the three of them eating with the same expression? How foolish!
Huo Ci seemed to understand something at that moment. Yes, why would he eat something so sour? He had been led astray by the fool and his mother!
Su Xiyin sighed helplessly and smiled. “Wouldn’t it be better if you had a sweet one after that?”
One would not enter the same house with others unless they were a family. That was right. Ci Er’s relationship with Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi was getting better and better. When they stood together, they could feel that they were a family.
She could not even finish eating the vegetables she had grown in the vegetable garden at home. She had even distributed them to her old friends this week, praising their family’s vegetables.
There were tables and chairs on the balcony, as well as lounge chairs. The family of four sat on the balcony and looked at the stars. The transparent gla.s.s allowed them to clearly see the night sky.
However, the night sky in the capital was quite polluted. There were not many stars, so they mainly chatted.
On the table were a small tomato and cuc.u.mber that Ling Sheng had washed. The red and green colors were next to each other, making the sight very eye-catching.
Huo Ci lay on the recliner and ate some tomatoes.
Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi were huddled on the swing chair. She looked up and pointed at the constellations with her son, recognizing the stars.
Su Xiyin sat on a chair beside them and looked at them gently, speaking to Ling Sheng from time to time.
Huo Xiao stood at the door and looked at his family on the balcony. He wanted to go over, but he felt embarra.s.sed. However, he was extremely envious.
“Great-grandpa.” Xiaoqi’s eyes were sharp. Upon seeing his figure, he ran over excitedly and pulled him over. He sat between him and Su Xiyin and started showcasing what he had just learned on the spot, pointing at the stars.
Ling Sheng, who was sitting on a chair, scrolled through Weibo and realized that things had gotten worse in just two hours.
Before she went to bed, this had directly caused a big earthquake in the entertainment circle. There were already more than 20 big shots in the entertainment circle who had been exposed. Producers, directors, scriptwriters, musicians, directors, hosts, and people from various other fields had all been exposed.
The onlookers had not expected that there’d be more melons to be eaten in the future. It was really explosive. The melons in front of them were full. Now, each melon was more fragrant than the last, especially the big shots who were usually respected. In public, all of them were polite. However, they had not expected that under their masks, they’d all be dignified beasts!
Ling Sheng lay on the bed and scrolled through WeChat. She had told Sister Yu that she could not meet her for dinner. After she’d apologized to her, she had only received a message saying that it was fine. Then, she had sent her a message to report that she was safe.
However, it had been three hours, and she had yet to reply. She was a little worried that she was angry. After all, she had been stood up.
She could not fall asleep no matter how much she thought about it. In the end, she called her. She did not know if she was asleep, but the person who answered was a woman. Her voice was very unfamiliar. “May I know if you’re Ms. Nangong’s family? She’s at the hospital now. We can’t contact her family. Can you come over?”
