Chapter 75 : Taking Lin Ran back to meet his parents

“Falling into the water?” Xiao Nanyu looked at Lin Ran carefully for a while before then turned to Song Zhi Xu and said, “Lin Ran’s condition is generally divided into two types, one is stressful, like he was already living a depressed life and was stimulated so he subconsciously closed himself and the other is pathological, that is, he fell into the water or was sick so he injured his brain nerves, therefore he became like this.”

Song Zhi Xu nodded his head slightly, he could almost understand what Xiao Nanyu had said but he still asked again.

“So the first one has a chance of getting better, but the latter one is very difficult to cure, right?”

“That’s right ah, but I can’t really determine and I still need to do a detailed examination.”

Xiao Nanyu said again, after finishing he lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while and said, “Lin Ran is like this now, he’s actually quite happy. Are you sure you want to remind him of what happened before?”

Xiao Nanyu as a doctor and Lin Ran as a patient, of course he wanted to cure Lin Ran, however, as a psychiatrist, he might also know that Lin Ran living a bad life, but from a friend’s point of view, it might be a cruel thing to make Lin Ran remember about it.

“Ran Ran?” Song Zhi Xu suddenly called out to Lin Ran. Lin Ran turned his head to look at him as he heard the sound of his voice and blinked as if asking Song Zhi Xu what was going on.

Song Zhi Xu just wanted to take a look at him so he made a sound, and only after a moment did he find an excuse then said,

“You be careful, don’t let the cat scratch you again.”

A smile appeared on Lin Ran’s face as he stroked the cat twice and showed it to Song Zhi Xu.

“The kitty is good with Ran Ran, it doesn’t scratch Ran Ran.”

Song Zhi Xu also had a smile on his face and nodded gently, waiting until Lin Ran was concentrating on caressing the cat again before Song Zhi Xu turned to Xiao Nanyu and said, “I want to take Lin Ran for a check-up first, and wait until the results are out before making a decision, okay?”

“This is fine, but it’s not recommended to do it here now, doing a brain CT is using radioactive, so since Lin Ran just get pregnant, so it’s not good for the baby in his belly.”

Xiao Nanyu would not interfere with Song Zhi Xu’s decision, but would tell Song Zhi Xu everything truthfully.

Song Zhi Xu was not too sure about this, but since it was Xiao Nanyu’s word, he would not doubt it, so he could only wait until Lin Ran gave birth to the baby.

Song Zhi Xu spoke to Xiao Nanyu a few more times and saw Lin Ran put the cat on his stomach before rushing over to pick up the fat cat’s fur on the back of its neck and lift it up, frowning slightly.

“Ran Ran, how can you put it on your belly? It’s so fat, what if it pressed you?”

He didn’t know if it was because he felt uncomfortable by being carried or because he was angry at being called a fat cat, but the cat kicked his legs while he was in Song Zhi Xu’s hand and cursed and meow.

Lin Ran hurriedly stood up, took the cat into his arms again, and said in a low voice,

“Ran Ran won’t put it on his stomach anymore, just hold it.” It was fine for him to put the cat in his embrace, but when he put it on his lap, it would easily step on his little stomach when it moved.

Song Zhi Xu also didn’t dare to leave again and sat by Lin Ran’s side to keep him company ever since last time when Xiao Nanyu had forced Lin Ran to cry in pain in the ward. Lin Ran was still a little afraid of Xiao Nanyu, although Xiao Nanyu didn’t say anything, he had already seen it, so he didn’t go near Lin Ran for the time being to avoid making him nervous.

Therefore, he did not treat Lin Ran during this period of time, and could only wait until Lin Ran had forgotten about what had happened before he started treating him again. Song Zhi Xu took Lin Ran to play in Xiao Nanyu’s office here for more than an hour. Lin Ran hugged the cat as he rubbed it all over his body with white cat’s hair, only then Song Zhi Xu finally couldn’t resist taking Lin Ran away.

As he walked away Lin Ran still had some reluctance to look back at the big white cat sitting on the sofa licking its paws. He then asked Song Zhi Xu in a small voice,

“Can we still come over to see the kitty tomorrow?”

Song Zhi Xu’s footsteps didn’t stop as he turned around to pick Lin Ran up and walk out. As he walked, he said,

“You’ll have two more IVs to give when you get back later.”

Lin Ran’s body stiffened as he looked at the needle holes on the back of his hand came from yesterday and wilted, lying on Song Zhi Xu’s shoulder without saying anything. Although he was very fond of kittens, but in the hospital he still had to get the injection so he never wanted to come back again.

The two of them went back to the suite, Song Zhi Xu took off Lin Ran’s clothes and gave him a good soak in the bathtub, washed him and gave him new clothes.

Until Song Zhi Xu was done, he threw the cat’s hair-stained clothes into the trash.

The nurse came up to hook up the IV for Lin Ran. Lin Ran was still a bit scared so he shrank into Song Zhi Xu’s embrace. His eyes red as he felt aggrieved and he asked in a small voice, “Song Zhi Xu, can Ran Ran not get the injection? It hurts.”

The nurse took out the needle, so Song Zhi Xu could only shake his head as he strengthened his heart and pressed Lin Ran’s cheek into his arms, pulling his wrist with one hand to fix it so that the nurse could stick it in.

As the needle pierced the skin, Lin Ran’s body trembled and Song Zhi Xu saw a knot of red blood gushing back from the syringe before flowing back down the needle into his blood veins.

The little nurse fixed it with transparent tape as she couldn’t help but look sideways at the intimate appearance of the two, then hurriedly packed up her things and pushed the pushcar away. Song Zhi Xu slowly lifted Lin Ran’s head up, his chest already covered with two circular wet marks from Lin Ran’s crying.

“Ran Ran, don’t cry, it’s all my fault, when you’re fine already, hit me okay? Both this child and Lin Ran were pushed and moved the fetus a bit.”

It was all because of him, Lin Ran cried, Song Zhi Xu’s heart hurt so much. Lin Ran shook his head, sucked in his nose and tried to hold back his tears, “Ran Ran won’t cry anymore, and won’t hit Song Zhi Xu.”

Song Zhi Xu lightly kissed the corners of Lin Ran’s eyes, then placed him on the bed, covered him with the quilt and covered Lin Ran’s arms with his hands, “Baby, you should sleep for a while, it will be fine once you fall asleep.” Lin Ran looked at Song Zhi Xu for a moment and nodded gently. Before he closed his eyes to sleep, he thought of the little turtle at home again and whispered to Song Zhi Xu,

“Song Zhi Xu, Ran Ran wants Xiao Guai and Xiao Guai’s wife, is that okay?”

He hadn’t seen the two turtles for a long time,so he didn’t know if they were hungry or not.

“Okay, I’ll have someone to go and get it for you.” Song Zhi Xu agreed without any slightest hesitation.

Only then did Lin Ran close his eyes at ease, and it wasn’t long before he actually fell asleep.

Because the company’s vice president had quit, quite a lot of things had been piled up for Song Zhi Xu to finish.

The assistant happened to be coming over to deliver documents to him, so Song Zhi Xu let him go back to the villa and bring the two turtles over with him.

Song Zhi Xu boiled some hot water, filled a hot water bag and covered it with a towel before placing it on the small side of Lin Ran’s arm to warm it up, replacing his own hand, otherwise the liquid inside the infusion tube would be too cold and flow into the veins along with the needles. In no time, Lin Ran’s arm became cold and clammy, that was why Song Zhi Xu was afraid that Lin Ran would be uncomfortable.

Lin Ran slept for almost two hours. Only after he woke up then the last of the two IVs was left. He looked around the room and saw Song Zhi Xu sitting on the sofa not far away, tapping on his laptop. Lin Ran moved as one side of his arm was numb.

“Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran called out in a small voice.

Song Zhi Xu immediately looked up, put the laptop aside, walked to the bedside and touched Lin Ran’s somewhat slightly cold cheek, and then looked at the IV bottle, seeing that it was almost empty, he reached out and pressed the call bell next to him.

“Ran Ran, is there any discomfort?” Song Zhi Xu asked worriedly when he saw that Lin Ran’s face was somewhat pale.

Lin Ran gently shook his head, pulling Song Zhi Xu’s hand with his one hand that wasn’t injected and holding his hands, pursing his lips but said nothing.

It didn’t take long for the nurse to come up and pull out the needle for Lin Ran, and as soon as she got a little closer, Lin Ran shrank away from Song Zhi Xu with some fear, his voice was somewhat trembling.

“Song Zhi Xu, hug me, okay?”

Song Zhi Xu hurriedly helped Lin Ran up and took him into his embrace, covering his eyes to prevent him from looking.

Only after the needle was removed and the little nurse left did Song Zhi Xu remove his hand that covered Lin Ran’s eyes and pulled his hand over to look at the back of his needle-ridden hand, leaning over and giving him a gentle kiss.

Lin Ran leaned against Song Zhi Xu’s arms without spirit. After a while, he tilted his head up and asked in a small voice, “Do Ran Ran still need to take another injection?”

Song Zhi Xu knew that Lin Ran didn’t want to have the injection, but Lin Ran’s body was not yet stable, so in the end Song Zhi Xu nodded gently, “Ran Ran, for the sake of the baby and your body, bear with it for a while, okay?”

Lin Ran looked down and touched his own belly and finally answered with ‘Hn.’.

Song Zhi Xu hugged him for a little longer, then remembered the two turtles in the bathtub next to him and reached out to show them to Lin Ran.

“Ran Ran, your Xiao Guai.”

A smile finally appeared on Lin Ran’s face as he looked at the two little turtles still picking their paws and swimming inside the slightly swaying water, “Xiao Guai and Xiao Guai’s wife.”

Lin Ran fished one out of the water and held it in his hand, suddenly remembering something as he tilted his head to ask Song Zhi Xu, “Ran Ran is also Song Zhi Xu’s wife, right?” Song Zhi Xu froze, then hurriedly nodded again and moved over to kiss him on the lips.

“Of course you are.”

This matter was brought up by Lin Ran, and the idea of Song Zhi Xu taking Lin Ran back to meet his parents came back again, and it was time for him to prepare and take Lin Ran there. But he needed to wait for Lin Ran’s health to get better and then after that he could take care of the company’s business.

Song Zhi Xu accompanied Lin Ran in the hospital for a week and waited until Lin Ran’s body had completely recovered before he was discharged.

During the week, Song Zhi Xu’s company had accumulated a lot of things so he had to go to work the day after he returned home. When he woke up in the morning, Song Zhi Xu went downstairs and made breakfast before waking Lin Ran up from bed, taking him to wash up and then carrying him to the dining table to serve him something to eat.

After his pregnancy, Lin Ran was particularly clinging to Song Zhi Xu and had to go to work with him. Since Song Zhi Xu did not feel at ease therefore he had to take Lin Ran with him to the office.

When Lin Ran finished eating, Song Zhi Xu didn’t give him time to clean up the table, so he changed his clothes for him and drove him to the office.

“Ran Ran, I have to go to a meeting today. Is it okay if I ask my assistant to accompany you?” When he arrived at the company, Song Zhi Xu spoke up after a moment of deliberation. He didn’t dare to leave Lin Ran alone in the office anymore, but it wasn’t appropriate to take Lin Ran with him to the meeting, so he had no choice but to do so. Lin Ran looked at Song Zhi Xu, hugging the fish bowl in his arms, hesitated for a moment before gently nodding his head and agreeing.

Only then did Song Zhi Xu let out a sigh of relief and drove the car seriously. The car had just been driven outside the company when a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked the front of the car.

Song Zhi Xu’s heart tightened and he subconsciously stepped on the brakes. The car stopped working because the brakes were applied too sharply. Lin Ran was holding the fish bowl on the front passenger seat, which slammed into the front because of inertia.
