I asked Xiao Minxing after I returned why Ye Dad would arrange to meet him.
His explanation was simple: the Ye Family is not what it used to be, and judging by their attitude towards Ye Guang, they probably don't want the outside world to know about their son like this. However, Ye Guang's condition had been exposed to the public long ago. Although no one mentions it now, it's just a matter of time; once something happens with the Ye Family, these things will be dug up.
I said angrily, "How can they treat their own child like that and still be afraid of others knowing?"
Xiao Minxing didn't elaborate much on this but asked me what I planned to say when I see Ye Guang tomorrow.
Since being around the Ye Family Couple made it difficult to speak freely, Xiao Minxing brought it up in advance, fearing I might confront the Ye Family directly like today.
However, I couldn't think of any good way to handle it. Just seeing that woman put me in a bad mood that I couldn't shake off.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Minxing asked me, "Do you remember he gave you a painting before?"
Yes, we even had an argument over it; that Good Fellow just left me stranded halfway. Just thinking about it made me roll my eyes at him.
Xiao Minxing didn't mind much and simply asked where the painting was.
When I first moved here, I deliberately hung it on the wall to remind myself that I was free and also to vent my anger towards Xiao Minxing.
But later, because Mother Ye Guang came looking for me and Xiao Minxing gradually changed, I put the painting away again.
I couldn't recall where I had placed it at the moment, so I called Sister Liu to help me find it. I also went to the Study Room to look around but found nothing.
Xiao Minxing came over and asked, "Can't you find it?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know where I put it, but I'm sure I didn't throw it away; it might be stuffed somewhere."
"You were so careful back then, even willing to fall out with me over it, and now you don't even know where you put it. You really lack persistence," Xiao Minxing said while scolding me affectionately, following me as we searched.
I felt a bit guilty at first, but hearing Xiao Minxing say that made me a little unhappy. I ran up to him and said, "Do I lack persistence towards you? I've waited from my teenage years until now..."
He didn't say a word and simply leaned down to seal my lips with his.
After a moment, he lifted his head to look at me and said, "I know, so I want to dedicate myself to repay you. But you still need to remember the kindness of others."
I was still dazed from his kiss and couldn't process what he was saying, just staring blankly into his eyes.
Xiao Minxing's lips suddenly curled up as he said in a deep voice, "Let's find the painting. Once we find it, we'll enjoy our time together."
I thought to myself that if we really couldn't find it, would I have to live in solitude forever?
Though I thought this in my heart, I still followed him and retraced the places we had already searched. Surprisingly, he actually found it; it turned out to be mixed in with those discarded comics I had drawn.
This time, before Xiao Minxing could say anything, I admitted my mistake myself, almost cursing myself for being heartless.
The next day, we arrived at the hospital ahead of the Ye Family again. Xiao Minxing patiently waited, but I couldn't help but complain, "Can't we come a little later? Why do we always have to wait for them?"
He casually replied, "They like to feel superior; just give it to them. You're here to see a friend, not to be stubborn. You should focus on completing things first before worrying about your own feelings."
I turned to look at him and asked seriously, "Is that how you think about everything you do?"
Xiao Minxing also glanced at me and nodded, saying, "It's about right; the goal is the most important. Any shortcomings during the process will ultimately be overshadowed by the final success. Only those who are insecure would seek temporary vanity."
I suddenly found myself at a loss for words because I had never had such a strong sense of purpose, so I had never considered such questions. However, as a business elite, Xiao Minxing must think about this all the time.
For some reason, I thought of the Xiao Family and looked at Xiao Minxing.
He, however, was staring ahead and softly said, "They've arrived."
The Ye Family's four-ring car had indeed reached the Hospital Entrance, and the people walking out still wore that infuriating expression.
As Xiao Minxing had said to himself, he showed no signs of anger. He took my hand and quickly walked over to greet them before heading inside together.
We first met with Ye Guang's Doctor. His response was just one sentence: very stable, no progress, and no deterioration.
Mrs. Ye obviously spoke with some pride, saying, "The medical conditions here are the best in Haicheng. Guang'er won't suffer here; you are just being overly concerned."
Ye Dad remained silent. Xiao Minxing and I followed behind without saying a word until we reached Ye Guang's hospital room.
However, there was no one inside. The large room was empty except for a bed and a table.
On the table were many sheets of white paper and scattered pencils.
The accompanying Nurse told us that if he wasn't here, he must be playing in the backyard, so we should go look for him there.
The Ye Family Couple followed the Nurse to the backyard, but I suddenly wanted to see what was drawn on those white papers.
Xiao Minxing seemed to sense my thoughts and stepped inside first, so I naturally followed him in.
There were many sheets of paper, scattered and disorganized. Besides the simple, meaningless lines that were the same as before, there were numbers—my phone number.
My heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife, and I took a step back.
Xiao Minxing quickly supported me and set the papers down, softly saying, "It's okay. He might have been here alone for a long time without friends, so he misses you a lot. Back then, I..."
I glanced at Xiao Minxing and was surprised to see a bitter smile on his face. After a long pause, he said, "It feels like I'm here to see myself."
I suddenly felt dizzy and didn't want to see Ye Guang anymore; I just wanted to leave.
The deep feelings of ordinary people can be understood and guided, but as Xiao Minxing said, Ye Guang is different. He has psychological barriers, and I can't be by his side like I am with Xiao Minxing. What will happen in the future?
Moreover, his situation is clearly more serious than Xiao Minxing's; it seems to be innate. Even if he gets better in the future, it might only be slightly improved and not like a normal person. So what is the point of us coming here to see him?
I stepped back outside, and Xiao Minxing followed me out. However, I saw that the Ye Family Couple had not left; they were standing not far from the hospital room entrance, looking at us.
Xiao Minxing whispered to me, "Let's go. Since we're here, we should check on him. Maybe we can't do much, but his family should be able to."
I turned to him and asked, "If I cooperate with the doctor to treat him, do you think he will get better?"
