I hurried over.
When I walked past the door, I saw his wheelchair next to him. Obviously, it was no longer useful now.
Seeing me walking in quickly, Yan Qingchen showed a faint smile on his pale face. The couch was arranged very comfortably, with soft cushions piled up like clouds on his back, and a thin quilt was placed below his waist.
Usually he looks quite tall in a wheelchair, but now he has no gorgeous clothes and is almost unprepared to lie on the couch, pale and thin, especially his pale face and chin, which makes people feel more sick.
I walked to the bed, looked at him like this, and immediately frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
He still held one hand on the soft brocade quilt next to him, obviously he couldn't support him. He raised his head and looked at me, and smiled faintly, "I can't move anymore."
"What's wrong?"
“…”
He did not answer me immediately, but slowly reached out and lifted the thin quilt covering his body. I could see his legs straight on the bed, and the slender ankles and soles exposed from under his pants were also very pale. There were thin pinholes on many places above, which seemed to emit a faint smell of medicine.
Aren't his legs unable to move?
Seeing me frowning and showing doubt, Yan Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "This is the only time when I feel it."
When I heard this, I was shocked: "Do you feel it?"
"right."
"What does it feel?"
"It's just pain."
“…”
He looked down at his legs, not even too warm in his eyes, just smiled coldly, and said, "My legs never feel. This is the only time I can feel it. This time every year, it is - pain."
“…”
"It hurts so much that people can't stand it."
“…”
"I can only lie down like this, just like a useless man."
“…”
I know that he had been broken for more than ten years. Even when I saw him sitting in a wheelchair, I never said that he was a "boring person". But this time, he said this, and my heart suddenly felt like a needle piercing me, slowly leaning down and sitting next to the couch.
"Qingchen..."
Before I could think about how to comfort him, he chuckled again and then looked up at me: "But sister, don't worry, just survive these few days every year."
“…”
"After these few days, it's all right."
“…”
I still frowned and didn't say anything.
I can't imagine how painful it would be for him to have been lame for so many years.
But he kept smiling in front of me, and he refused to show a little pain.
I whispered, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
He smiled faintly: "I don't want my sister to worry."
“…”
"I hope my sister will be a complete, healthy person who can protect her even if she is in a wheelchair."
“…”
"Not a sick person."
I hurriedly said, "Of course you are not."
Seeing my anxious look, a deep smile appeared on his face, and the hand reached over and gently covered the back of my hand.
Almost subconsciously, I suddenly retracted my hand.
His hands froze there, raised his head to look at my somewhat panicked gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sister is still afraid of me."
“…”
"But sooner or later, my sister will understand that I am the only person in this world who will not hurt my sister."
“…”
"I'm different from the one outside."
“…!”
Hearing this sentence made my heart tremble suddenly. I raised my head to look at him. Yan Qingchen's gaze also became slightly cold and said, "He can be considered a step-by-step. When I followed you back to Xichuan, I didn't know what I had to talk to my mother behind my back. I was so cautious and couldn't defend him. Now, my mother doesn't even believe me, my own son. He is smart and is just looking for times when I can't move."
I took a deep breath.
Sure enough, when I heard Yan Zhong say that Pei Yuanxiu arrived in Chengdu, I suspected that when we were placed under house arrest on Qianqiu Lake, he and Xue Qian should have had a secret deal, and it is more likely that Xue Qian also revealed to him the time when Yan Qingchen was sick every year.
Only at this time can they have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
I frowned and looked out. The person at the gate, who didn't know who it was, subconsciously lowered my voice: "Do you want me to save you?"
“…”
Yan Qingchen was silent for a moment, then looked at me, and a smile appeared on his face.
I was stunned by his expression.
After a while, he burst out laughing.
"Sister, do you really think I'm under house arrest?"
"..." Isn't it?
His eyes were bent in his smile, which looked a little like when he was a child. After a while, he stopped laughing, and then said, "Sister, you look down on me too much. Even if they have the means and courage, I am still me!"
“…”
"How could I put them under house arrest?"
"and you--"
He smiled, but a chill suddenly rose in his eyes, and he looked down at his feet: "It's just that - just give them a chance."
“…”
At this time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yan Zhong came to me and said those words to me, I was always worried about his situation in the Yan family. Xue Qian was a ignorant person. She could have severely injured Qingchen's leg. I was afraid that she would do anything for the so-called "father's last wish" and put the Yan family in trouble.
Fortunately, Yan Qingchen was not really controlled by them.
But then, he said deeply: "But my mother probably knows that I am not easy to control, so she wants to find some people to control me."
When I heard this, I became nervous again: "Who are you looking for?"
Yan Qingchen glanced at me: "When you entered Chengdu, did you feel that there were many strangers in the Yan family in the inner city?"
I nodded and said, "Well. I have never seen those people who picked me up outside. There are also the new official family and many people, and I can see them all."
Yan Qingchen said: "In a few days, more people with eyes will come."
I immediately frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Yan Qingchen smiled faintly: "My mother wants to fight against me, the only way is to invite all the elders of the Yan family."
