Chapter 32: CH 31

“Jiang Xu, are you demolishing the house?!” A familiar shout came from the door. Shen Fangyu held the computer in one hand, and knocked on the bathroom door with the other, “What’s going on?” ”

Jiang Xu’s eyelashes trembled, but he didn’t say anything.

“Jiang Xu, your state of mind is not quite right.” Shen Fangyu glanced at the closed bathroom door.

If he had said this in the past, Jiang Xu would definitely have said “You are the demolition maniac”, but today’s Jiang Xu didn’t say anything, and Shen Fangyu suddenly panicked.

“So you won’t talk,” he pushed the locked door and said to the person inside: “I’m giving you two choices, either open the door yourself or I’ll kick the door open. I can just go to the locksmith tomorrow and fix it.” ”

“Shut up.”

Jiang Xu’s voice was very low. It was a little muffled through the door panel, but he immediately heard the slight tremor in these words

Shen Fangyu’s expression changed.

He put the earphones back on, turned on the microphone, and explained to the students he was in a group meeting with: “Sorry, I have a bit of a personal matter at the moment, the two who haven’t talked yet can send me the PPT to my email, and I’ll make an appointment with you later.”

After that, he exited the meeting and put down the computer. He rolled up his sleeves, walked to the bathroom door, and directly kicked it. With a “click”, the lock shaft broke, and the bathroom door opened like a kite on a broken string.

Shen Fangyu looked inside with an anxious expression.

The sink and floor were littered with broken glass, and the hazy mist that had not completely dissipated remained in the bathroom. Jiang Xu was standing in front of the broken mirror, shirtless.

His freshly washed hair was still stained with water, which made it look particularly dark. The cold white skin was wrapped in water mist, and some pale cyan blood vessels could be seen.

The man had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a good figure. There was a dazzling cinnabar mole on his chest, and further down … was the lower abdomen that was beginning to show a small protrusion.

It shouldn’t have appeared on Jiang Xu’s body, but when it did, there was a subtle, indescribable harmony, which made Shen Fangyu inexplicably distracted.

Shen Fangyu suddenly turned his head and moved his gaze to the ground. He raised his hand to take a bath towel from the side and put it on Jiang Xu’s body.

Jiang Xu glanced at him, threw the bath towel aside and quickly put on his shirt. He then walked straight past him out of the bathroom to rummage through the medical cabinet.

Shen Fangyu turned around and then noticed blood on the ground.

“Jiang Xu, are you crazy?” Shen Fangyu chased after him. He saw Jiang Xu’s bruised hand, took the medical kit from him, and pointed to the sofa while saying, “You go sit down.” ”

Jiang Xu glanced at him lightly.

Seeing that he was not moving, Shen Fangyu directly grabbed his shoulders and pressed the person to the sofa to sit. Then he put a pillow on his leg and pulled his hand on top of the pillow.

Jiang Xu wanted to break free, but Shen Fangyu grabbed his wrist and glared at him. It was only when Jiang Xu silently stopped trying to retract his hand that he turned around and went to rummage through the medical box.

Jiang Xu’s medical box was complete, Shen Fangyu picked out the key items and put them in a row, poured half of the 75% alcohol into the plastic cup, picked a small pair of tweezers and threw them in. He then took out iodine and cotton swabs, turned on the flashlight and handed it to Jiang Xu, “Hold it well.”

Jiang Xu cooperated this time, he held up a flashlight and focused the light on the back of his injured hand.

His wound was not deep, but it had bled a lot. The iodine-stained cotton swab moved over his wound, exposing tiny fragments. Jiang Xu gasped slightly in pain, and Shen Fangyu couldn’t remain angry when he heard it.

“You’re quite mad, Doctor Jiang,” Shen Fangyu’s words carried a bit of yin and yang weirdness, “I would at least use my left hand to smash something, and then get a medical kit to deal with it immediately after,” he glanced at Jiang Xu, “Since you know that your hand is important, why did do you have to smash the mirror with it?” ”

As he spoke, he took out the small tweezers and used a lighter to burn them. He waited for the alcohol to burn dry, before lowering his head to pick up the fragments on the surface of Jiang Xu’s skin.

Jiang Xu pursed his lips, and his gaze fell on Shen Fangyu’s hand. He must have been afraid of bacterial infection wounds as he wore sterile gloves. He could feel the latex smooth latex texture whenever they touched hands.

“It’s just a two-hundred-yuan ticket? Can’t I give it to you? ”

Shen Fangyu had thought about it. The ticket was the only thing worth Jiang Xu’s anger today, but he really couldn’t understand why this matter could make Jiang Xu angry enough to smash a mirror with his bare hands.

Did he have that great of an influence on Jiang Xu now?

Jiang Xu also knew that he was a little impulsive earlier, but emotionally, he couldn’t maintain his sanity.

He had not fully recovered his sanity even now, so instead of answering Shen Fangyu, he suddenly asked: “What was your first thought when you found out that I was pregnant?”

At Jiang Xu’s words, Shen Fangyu, who had been fierce a moment ago, suddenly froze.

He seemed to realize something, and the momentum of questioning the guilty disappeared little by little, and even the movements of his hands paused imperceptibly.

The light In the living room cast a fine shadow under Shen Fangyu’s peach blossom eyes, and his feather-like eyelashes blocked his expression.

Jiang Xu looked at the handheld by Shen Fangyu, he seemed determined to hear an answer, and did not urge him.

After a long time, Shen Fangyu spoke slowly: “Jiang Xu, don’t think about the definitions you have memorized, the judgment questions you have written, and don’t think about how you should diagnose yourself. If you psychologically feel that you are a man, then you are a man.”

“I thought about your…pregnancy a lot,” Shen Fangyu said, “but I swear, I have never had the slightest thought of discriminating against you.”

Jiang Xu suddenly raised his eyes, as if he didn’t expect that Shen Fangyu could guess his train of thoughts just from seeing him smash a mirror, and listening to him ask such an unclear question.

“Jiang Xu, you know that I have always thought highly of myself, and I have never admired anyone in my life,” Shen Fangyu glanced at him, “To be honest, you are the first. ”

“Whenever I couldn’t sleep, I would think about it many, many times; what would I do if I encountered such a thing?” He paused, “I just concluded that if it was me who was pregnant, I would have jumped from Jihua’s highest building by now.” ”

“Jiang Xu,” he commented after a brief moment of silence, “You are tougher than me, and I am inferior to you.”

The wind outside the window blew on Jiang Xu’s side cheeks. He listened to Shen Fangyu’s words and his eyes flashed imperceptibly.

He never expected to hear Shen Fangyu say “I’m inferior to you” after competing for more than ten years.

For a moment, he suddenly didn’t know whether Shen Fangyu was just comforting him, or it was his sincere feelings.

But whether these words were true or not, Jiang Xu had to admit that they had soothed the anxiety in his heart quite well.

Shen Fangyu did not notice his momentary thoughts, and said to himself: “Before I went to work this morning, I found a friend and put my house up for sale. ”

“Your house?” Jiang Xu didn’t understand the reason for this sudden shift in topics.

Shen Fang Yu let out an “mmm”.

“Before, I suggested that you give birth to the child because I felt responsible for this situation, especially since I couldn’t get that much cash to pay for your surgery abroad. So I thought that if you couldn’t accept the child, then I would be in charge of it, so I could live up to my conscience.”

“But when I thought about it more, I realized I was being selfish.”

“I’ve never been a father, I’ve never even been a boyfriend, so I couldn’t empathize with you, I also failed to properly put myself in your shoes. It’s only these days that I’ve realized that carrying this baby and giving birth is too difficult for you, and even if I took on the responsibility of raising the child, there’s no way I could make it up to you. “

“From the day you had the prenatal check until now, you haven’t answered whether you’ll have the baby or not, and I’ve been wondering what I should do.” He lowered his eyes, “But I think I know your answer today.”

Shen Fangyu took a deep breath and continued to pick out the mirror fragments for him as if nothing had happened.

“I’ve listed the house at the lowest price, I’ve also listed a car, ideally, I should be able to sell it within a week. I’ve also applied for a visa to country M. If you’re willing to wait for me, I’ll accompany you to see Dr Kenn. If you can’t wait, you can go by yourself first, and once my visa is approved, I’ll fly over as soon as I can.”

“The price of a used car is not good now, so it may have to drop, but the price of housing in A City is still stable….forget it, it should be enough, but if it’s not, I’ll think of other ways,” he assured Jiang Xu.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s 200,000 or 2 million dollars, as long as he agrees to the operation, I’ll definitely raise the money.”

“But…”

He lowered his head and said to Jiang Xu, “We’ve known each other for so many years, and you know I’m not from a rich family. I’ve just joined the workforce a few years ago. I bought that house with all my savings, and the house is still mortgaged in the bank.”

“So I thought, even if you’re annoyed with me, I’d ask you to take me in for a few more months, and I’ll move out after taking care of you after the operation and apply to the hospital for a single apartment.”

“Originally, I wanted to talk to you in a couple of days when the house was sold, but who knew you’d just hurt yourself.” Shen Fangyu put down the tweezers, dipped a cotton ball in iodine and gently applied it to Jiang Xu’s wound, “The debris should all be cleaned up, the wound is shallow, so there is no need for stitches.”

He asked Jiang Xu, “Does it still hurt?”

Jiang Xu looked at him and shook his head with a complicated expression.

“Move around,” Shen Fangyu asked, “Do you feel any numbness?”

Jiang Xu knew what Shen Fang Yu was asking, he had tested it not long after he had smashed the mirror, “No tendons or nerves were hurt.”

Shen Fangyu nodded, “Thanks to the poor quality of your mirror,” he dropped the used cotton ball and cupped Jiang Xu’s hand to look at it, “These hands are half the gold standard of our department, don’t ruin your job.”

He took the roll of pure white gauze and looped it around Jiang Xu’s hand loosely, finally tying it in a pretty knot before gently patting Jiang Xu’s pinky, “Okay, it’s done.”

He stood up and went to the bathroom to pick up the hairdryer and test it. The hairdryer in Jiang Xu’s house was much stronger than the mirror and was still full of life even after being dropped on the floor.

Shen Fangyu brought the hairdryer to the living room and plugged it in, then stood behind Jiang Xu and dried his hair.

The half-wet hair had been blowing for a while and had already cooled a little, but now the hot air fell warmly on the back of Jiang Xu’s neck, giving it a little tingling itch. The wind would occasionally blow on his forehead, and Jiang Xu closed his eyes. The warm wind enveloped him, and the coolness from his wet hair was dispelled by the warmth, just like basking in the winter sun in the afternoon.

Shen Fangyu reached out and moved his fingers through his hair, and Jiang Xu suddenly moved.

“Don’t move,” he reached out and pressed his hand against Jiang Xu’s shoulder, “be careful of burning.”

“…… mmm.”

“Is it comfortable?”

“It’s okay.”

“Really?” Shen Fangyu smiled, “This is the first time I’ve ever blown someone’s hair, I never thought I’d have this talent, what do you say I retire and open a beauty salon?”

“No.”

“Why not, you’re approving of my craft.” Shen Fangyu sounded unconvinced amidst the noise of the hairdryer, “I’ve thought of a name, I’ll call it ‘Hell Hairdressing’.”

Jiang Xu: “……”

“Do you know that the owner of Hell Bar was arrested?” Jiang Xu asked.

“I didn’t hear about that,” Shen Fangyu said, “Then I’ll just carry on his unfinished Hell business brand and start an industrial park or something.”

Jiang Xu nodded, “The kind that charges a fee?”

“Jiang Xu, can’t you not be a downer,” Shen Fangyu turned off the blow dryer and looked at Jiang Xu’s fluffy hair, “Alright, go to bed early.”

He dropped the blow dryer on the coffee table, leaned back, and yawned.

Jiang Xu suddenly looked at him, and the latter stopped yawning halfway, making Jiang Xi confused. Shen Fangyu asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

He leaned closer to Jiang Xu with a mischievous smile, “What, do you suddenly find me handsome?”

Jiang Xu let out a “tch” as he pointed to the medical kit on the coffee table, “Clean this up first.”

“Tell me, why are you just like my mother?” Shen Fangyu rambled as he tidied up the things on the coffee table, then put the medicine box back in its place, “I don’t see you tidying up even though your bedroom is in such a mess.”

Jiang Xu ignored his complaints, he looked at Shen Fangyu for a moment before suddenly saying, “I don’t agree with you selling your house.”
