Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 344: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (16)

Here, Shi Qi was busy for the whole afternoon. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his eyes and saw the young man like the scorching sun again.

Perhaps it was the protagonist effect, Shi Qi always felt an indescribable joy when he met Gu Ming.

"Uh, hi... nice to see you again." Gu Ming felt a little uncomfortable with that direct gaze and rubbed his hands.

Shi Qi nodded, and seeing that there was no one queuing behind Gu Ming, he said, "Well. Do you want to buy some cakes? The existing ones are all sold out. If you can wait, let me make them first."

The woman's tone was kind, yet cold and distant.

"Well, give me two pieces of these." Gu Ming came back to his senses and casually pointed to a sample picture on the stall.

"Glutinous rice balls? Okay." Shi Qi said, and started eating immediately without delay.

Gu Ming looked at the girl in front of him. The turquoise headscarf made her skin look even whiter, giving her a unique charm. She was kneading the dough skillfully and sprinkling the stuffing lightly with her fingertips, which was pleasing to the eye.

He doesn't like sweets, but today, for some reason, he waited for half a day to buy the dessert from this street stall.

That was it. The two of them had no other communication, but he didn't feel awkward.

A strange cold wind blew by, and Shi Qi's hands, which were packing the desserts, trembled slightly, and he subconsciously retracted his fingertips.

Gu Ming looked up at the sky and frowned.

"Not good, it's going to rain. Girl, you'd better stop selling and go back home early."

Shi Qi had the same idea and was holding the noodle bucket. However, before he could put away the stall, the temperature, which was not high to begin with, dropped suddenly and raindrops as big as beans fell on his cheeks, one after another, gradually getting bigger.

Gu Ming picked up his phone and called his assistant, but got a busy tone.

Shi Qi quickly packed up his stall and saw the male lead still holding his phone and frowning.

"Well...if you want to be picked up by someone, you can go to the factory opposite first. I'll go back first. Bye." Shi Qi said and quickly pushed the cart.

She doesn't have the helpfulness to help others. Her children are waiting for her to pick them up. It's raining so heavily and she wonders how the children are doing at school.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you there..." Gu Ming saw the girl leaving anxiously, and his hand trying to hold her back froze in the air.

The girl was walking quickly towards somewhere in the rain.

It had already darkened, and her thin figure gradually disappeared from sight.

Gu Ming wanted to continue to follow, but then his assistant called.

"President...I'm sorry, I'll be there soon!"

Gu Ming's face changed, and he said seriously: "If you dare to do this again, you can go home directly."

“…Yes, yes.”

……

At the entrance of primary school.

It was pitch black, with broken street lights flickering.

Shen Jingnian squatted at the empty school gate, holding a tree branch with his fingers, drawing circles on the wet ground, one by one, as if he was timing.

He raised his head and looked at the empty path again, then slowly stood up.

'I will pick you up every day from now on, and you have to wait for me.'

Forget it, she was so busy, he shouldn't expect it.

It was raining heavily. Shen Jingnian took off his shirt, wrapped his schoolbag layer by layer and held it in his arms carefully.

"hiss…"

It was too cold. Shen Jingnian was shivering all over. He walked step by step, and the ground was muddy.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"After so many years, hey, I finally found you. Luckily you didn't go far."

Shen Jingnian turned around and saw that it was Aunt Chen who came to pick him up with an umbrella. A trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes, which he didn't even notice.

"Aunt Chen? It's raining so hard. Why are you here? I can go back by myself." Shen Jingnian ran over quickly and helped Aunt Chen hold up the umbrella.

Aunt Chen looked at the child with bruises on his body, her eyes were filled with pity and reproach: "You kid, why are you still taking off your clothes?"

"I'm afraid the books will get wet, it's okay." Shen Jingnian suppressed the question in his mind and said lightly.

Aunt Chen put clothes on him and sighed, "You two, one big and one small, please don't get sick."

Shen Jingnian looked up, a little confused: "Sick? Who is sick?"

"Shi Qi, this little girl has been preparing ingredients for making pastries for several days in a row, and now she's been caught in the rain. How can a little girl like her bear it? She fainted before she even got home. She's now receiving an IV drip in the village clinic, and she hasn't woken up yet. It's really worrying." Aunt Chen said, tightening Shen Jingnian's clothes again, fearing that he would get sick.

Shen Jingnian lowered his head, feeling mixed emotions.

Being sick is different from being injured. His father once said that being sick is fatal...

His mother is.

"You have to take good care of yourself. Being sick is the most painful thing. It may even be fatal." Aunt Chen said as she patted his head. She wanted him to take care of his health, so she spoke in a serious tone.

The rain showed no sign of stopping. Aunt Chen was about to continue talking when an umbrella and a schoolbag were suddenly stuffed into her hands.

When she looked up again, she saw the child running wildly in the mud, turning back and shouting at her.

"Aunt Chen, please take her back for me...I want to go see her..."

"Hey, run slower..."

Aunt Chen looked at the figure going away, pouted and muttered: "This child, deep down, knows how to love others, but he is just being stubborn."

……

On the bed in the clinic.

Shi Qi lay there quietly, his face pale and bloodless. If it weren't for the slight trembling of his eyelids, he would have looked like a cold corpse.

The infusion bottle in her hand was slowly falling down. The ward was quiet. Water was leaking from the roof, dripping into the corners of her eyes from time to time.

"Shi Qi!"

"Shi Qi!"

"Shi Qi..."

Along with the shouting, a small figure broke into the room.

"Plop" sound.

Shen Jingnian fell to the side of the bed in panic. Seeing the quiet person on the bed and touching her cold fingers, he was frightened.

"Hey, wake up..."

"Hey, if you don't wake up I will ignore you..."

“…Hey, have you had enough of this drama? It’s so boring.” Shen Jingnian knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and his face was obviously gloomy.

Only his trembling shoulders revealed the fear and panic in his heart.

But he called out again and again, and all he got in response was still silence.

At this time, the doctor pushed the door open.

"Eh? Who are you? Keep your voice down by the patient's bed, you'll disturb her rest." The male doctor pushed his glasses and said.

Shen Jingnian stood up and walked to the doctor, but suddenly raised his head and grabbed the doctor's neck, saying gloomily: "Why doesn't she wake up! Is she unable to wake up..."

The male doctor didn't expect a child to have such strong explosive power. His neck was grabbed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Cough... loose... cough cough" He slapped hard and even kicked the boy in front of him.

But the boy remained unmoved. He used more and more force with his hands. His dark eyes were like a dead pool, without any mercy, as if he had lost his mind.

"You...you let go first, cough cough. She fainted...fainted and needs to rest. She will...will wake up. It's just that the conditions here are limited, and there are not enough medicines, cough cough cough, so she will wake up later...cough cough." The male doctor said, and before he saw the god of death, the hands finally let go of him.

He collapsed to the ground, gulping for air.

The boy just stood in front of the bed, staring at the girl on the bed motionlessly.

"Ahem, don't worry, she will wake up. She just fainted due to low immunity and overwork."

Shen Jingnian said coldly: "Go away."

The male doctor shuddered, stood up in a hurry, threw the pills at Shen Jingnian's feet, and ran away like he had seen a ghost.

At this time, Shen Jingnian finally loosened his clenched fists and let out a long sigh of relief.

He himself didn't realize that during these days of getting along with her, her encouragement, her patience, her care for him... he gradually became dependent on her.

He thought that he was probably afraid of being alone.
