Chapter 117 - Zheng Kai, You? (1/2)

Chapter 117 (Zheng Kai, You?) The Son of Zheng Zihuan Had a Manner of a Dragon or Tiger

“Zheng Kai, why are you here?” asked Zhao Yuan.

Zheng Kai looked suspiciously at the three of them and asked, “Zhao Yuan, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You, why are you here?”

But each of the three people had their secrets in the heart, so they remained silent.

Zheng Kai said with a smile, “In the elevator just now, I heard some people talking about that a crazy man wearing a red quilted jacket had been waiting for the elevator for a long time. Finally, he chose to take the stairs, carrying a bunch of things. Now I see that it must be you. Lin Wenxi, you have walked up 29 flights of stairs…” Zheng Kai thought to himself that Lin Wenxi’s bright red quilted jacket looked as red as fire, and the color of it seemed like that of the jersey Zhao Yuan wore all the time.

Lin Wenxi smiled with a little embarrassment.

Zhao Yuan couldn’t help clenching his fists and gazed right at Lin Wenxi who turned his head and looked away. Lin Wenxi asked Zheng Kai, “Well, what do you come here for?”

“Oh, my mom asks me to look for my father. She wants me to bring him home for dinner!” Zheng Kai blurted out the words that made everyone felt confused.

Zhao Yuan suddenly realized something. “Zheng Kai… Zheng Zihuan.”

They watched Zheng Kai walk into Ward No. 2908, which was precisely the ward of Zhao Yuan’s father.

Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin hurried to catch up. Lin Wenxi followed them. He saw Zhao Yuan turn his head slightly and smile apologetically at him. But facing his smile, Lin Wenxi felt more painful than being sentenced to death.

Seeing Zhao Yuan coming in with him, Zheng Kai was a little overwhelmed. He looked at the weak middle-aged man lying on the bed who so close to death but still smiled with his eyes. Then he looked toward Zhao Yuan and produced a forced smile—a month ago, Zheng Kai’s father took a long leave and took away the family money and the scholarship Zheng Kai got by giving up his recommendation. Until now, his father was still deep in high debt. Zheng Zihuan did all of this all for his brother in the provincial capital. And finally, his father simply came to the provincial capital to take care of that person by himself and never went home again since then. When his mother managed to push herself until the end of the year, she hoped that his father would at least go back home to celebrate New Year together. However, Zheng Zihuan actually refused her, so Zheng Kai came here to see his father.

Zheng Kai wanted to see who could make his father give away almost everything, including his family. At first, Zheng Kai even meant to persuade his father to go back. But to his surprise, that person was his roommate Zhao Yuan’s father! Though he got a whole lot resentment and anger, he had to keep a tight lid on his feelings at this moment.

All of a sudden, Zhao Mingjiang opened his eyes. He gazed at Zheng Kai and began to cough violently. Zheng Zihuan quickly handed him the hot water without saying a word to Zheng Kai.

Zhao Mingjiang lay on his back and sighed heavily.

Ever since Zheng Zihuan knew what happened to Zhao Mingjiang, he often assisted him financially. At first, Zhao Mingjiang refused his offer of help. But in the end, Zhao Mingjiang accepted it only because Zheng Zihuan told him, “You should stay alive for your son.” When Zheng Zihuan started to took care of him, Zhao Mingjiang felt very embarrassed. But every time Zhao Mingjiang called his relatives to help, Zheng Zihuan would make an excuse and turn them down adamantly. If Zhao Mingjiang insisted on finding someone to replace him, Zheng Zihuan would bow his head and weep.

It was already difficult enough for Zhao Mingjiang to breathe. So, in the end, he did not have more strength to try to persuade his old classmate. But Zhao Mingjiang knew that he might never be able to repay the kindness of him.

“There is still some time before the New Year. You go back to school first and worry about your exams. I will go back when it is time,” Zheng Zihuan said coldly.

Zheng Kai was full of anger, but he could not lose his temper now. Behind a forced smile, he kept silent.

Lin Wenxi was a bit confused. “If Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zhao had a secret relationship, then how could they have Zhao Yuan and Zheng Kai?” When such an absurd idea popped up in his mind, Lin Wenxi felt that he was so unreasonable. He smiled, a little sadly. “If I guess all kinds of friendship between men like this, I will either insult love or insult friendship.

Secretly, he felt ashamed of himself. But suddenly, he noticed a figure flashed across the staircase. Lin Wenxi rushed down like an angry lion. The whole staircase echoed his footsteps and screams. “Zhang Dong! Come out!”

Lin Wenxi chased him to the outside of the building and the door of the hospital. However, the streets were quiet, and there was not a trace of Zhang Dong.

Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin rushed downstairs.

Lin Wenxi could hardly believe his eyes, but he was sure enough that he had seen Zhang Dong!

“Are you sure it is Zhang Dong?” asked Zhao Yuan.

Lin Wenxi nodded.
