The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife
Chapter 344
Ch.344 The Past (1)
After Su Yaya re-arranged the flowers, she walked back into the ward with the newly-arranged flowers in hand. Seeing as the father and son both kept quiet, she walked to the bed with the flowers and showed them to Father Shen as if they were some sort of treasure, she then smiled brightly and asked: "Dad, are the flowers nice?"
Father Su said: "They are, they're really nice, the colours are so vibrant, how splendid!"
When Su Yaya heard what he said, why did she feel that he was implying that life was indeed a splendid ride? Is it easier to come to such realisations when one becomes seriously ill?
Shen Xiuqi looked around and saw that there were apples on the cabinet next to him, so he reached out and picked up an apple before saying, "I'll peel an apple for you."
Father Shen looked at the apple he was holding, and started to reminisce about the past. He hadn't eaten apples that Shen Xiuqi had cut for him for so many years. It felt as if time had turned back to the past, so he smiled and nodded, as he said: "Okay, just one."
Shen Xiuqi took the fruit knife and carefully peeled the apple little by little. He was pretty good at it, it was like he was carving a work of art.
When he was done peeling the apple, he gave the apple to Father Shen behind him, but Father Shen smiled and said, "I can't eat this much by myself. Let's share. Just like when you were still a kid, you get half and I get the other half, I would take the smaller half, and you would get the bigger half."
Shen Xiuqi remembered this, and nodded in agreement, he then cut the apple into two halves, one smaller piece, and the other half bigger.
He wanted to give the big one to Father Shen, but he chose the smaller piece and left the big piece for Shen Xiuqi.
With the apples in their hands, the two looked at each other silently. Finally, Father Shen smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat." After saying this, he lowered his head and took a bite.
Seeing Father Shen take a bite of the apple, Shen Xiuqi followed suit. The two suddenly met gazes and laughed. At that moment, it seemed that all the years of pent up sorrow and resentment had completely disappeared with just this smile.
Shen Xiuqi accompanied Father Shen after having the apples. He sat down for a while and talked about some childhood memories. Father Shen then said that he was tired and wanted to rest. Shen Xiuqi stood up and said, "Then I'll come by to visit you another day."
Father Shen said happily: "Okay."
Shen Xiuqi shook his hand again before getting up and left the ward with Su Yaya.
The two of them were walking in the corridor, just then, Xu Chaoran rushed out of the elevator, and the three of them bumped into each other.
Xu Chaoran looked at Shen Xiuqi, the corners of his lips moved, but he didn't say anything. He quickly turned to look at Su Yaya. Seeing her slightly raised tummy, he smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Su Yaya replied politely: "Thank you."
Xu Chaoran smiled and nodded to her, he was about to move on. When he passed by Shen Xiuqi's side, he subconsciously turned around and glanced at Shen Xiuqi, at the same time, Shen Xiuqi also looked at him.
Their eyes met, and the emotions in their gaze were the same. They both cared about Father Shen. Both seemed to have something to say, but in the end, they kept silent, because there were some things, even if they didn't say it out loud, they both had a common understanding of.
Xu Chaoran retracted his gaze, hurriedly walked past Shen Xiuqi, and walked over to Father Shen's ward, while Shen Xiuqi walked into the elevator as he held onto Su Yaya's hand expressionlessly and left the hospital.
Back at home, Mother Su and Sister-in-law Wang were making dinner in the kitchen. She came out of the kitchen with the dishes she had prepared. Seeing as the two of them had come home, she greeted them with a smile: "Dinner is ready, dig in."
