Chapter 1812: After Raising the Good Baby, I Faked My Death 06

~6 min read 1,185 words

The hospital room door was wide open, a few nurses with worried frowns gathered around, and inside there was noisy shouting.

How stingy can this kid be! How did your parents raise you! What's wrong with sharing some fruit! No manners!

Jin Chen's expression turned cold instantly, his voice sounding as he stepped inside.

What did my kid do to you?

The noise in the room stopped abruptly.

Wen Si Luo, hiding under the blanket, suddenly sat up.

Jin Chen calmly glanced at the noisy father and son, a chill in his brows, "Who let you in?"

The duty nurse felt her vision darken; faced with this notorious troublesome brat known since his hospitalization, she couldn't stop him.

Oh, you're the parent of this little mute? How did you raise your child! My kid just wanted to be friends with him—what's wrong with that! He actually dared to hit someone! Where are your parents?

The bald man rounded his arms, pointing at Jin Chen's nose and shouting angrily.

Jin Chen walked straight past them to Wen Si Luo, embracing the silently aggrieved child, "Guabao, tell brother what happened, huh?"

Wen Si Luo lay on Jin Chen's shoulder, looking at the angry yet still fearful boy, expressionless: "He rushed in, trying to snatch my candy; I refused, and he said he'd get his dad to beat me."

The boy shouted loudly: "You also broke my balloon! You deserve to be hit! I'll beat you to death!"

Wen Si Luo withdrew his gaze, looking up at Jin Chen with watery eyes, softly and innocently: "Brother, he used the balloon to scare me."

Although he said that, he felt a bit nervous inside, wondering if brother would see through this lie, see through that he was actually a bad child.

"Hmm, brother knows."

Jin Chen's warm breath fell on Wen Si Luo's head, "Leave it to me."

"Done for!"

The nurses all thought, "Surely they won't start fighting in the ward, this Mr. Jin doesn't look like a pushover either!"

Jin Chen merely gave the bald man a polite smile, "My child is introverted; he offended your son. How about we discuss compensation?"

"Oh, you're quite sensible."

The bald man immediately laughed, "Come on! Let's see how you'll compensate!"

Under Jin Chen's guidance, the bald man went up to the rooftop without paying attention.

Ten minutes later.

Wen Si Luo heard the nurses' anxious voices outside the hallway.

"Quick quick quick! I heard something happened on the rooftop! The dad in room 02 is bleeding from the head!"

"Ah! It couldn't be Mr. Jin who did it, could it? Weren't they just discussing compensation?"

"They say he fell himself, and still acted respectful toward Mr. Jin... I don't know why this feels so strange."

Jin Chen returned to the hallway and kindly pointed the nurses toward the bald man and the bawling child, "Over there, don't go the wrong way."

Nurses: "……"

"It's really hard not to suspect you didn't beat him……"

Jin Chen wouldn't admit it—bringing up fighting and killing in front of a kid is terrible!

Then he closed the door, shutting out all outside noise.

"Brother."

The frail child curled under the blanket looked up at him, revealing a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Jin Chen hummed, sat beside the bed, "Want a hug?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Wen Si Luo crawled out from under the blanket, reaching out to Jin Chen for a hug, his gaze timid, unable to hide his guilt.

Jin Chen held back a laugh, but looking at him made him exceedingly soft-hearted: "What's wrong with our Wen Xiaoluo, hiding something and keeping it bottled up?"

Wen Si Luo's eyes were slightly wet; he was truly panicked, feeling that brother knew everything yet didn't expose his terrible lie.

But adults all like good children; even that person wouldn't like a bad child.

No one likes a bad child; no one likes him.

"Brother……"

Wen Si Luo trembled, clinging tightly to Jin Chen's neck, cheeks lightly rubbing, feeling utterly unsafe, his wet eyes brimming with heartbreaking grievance.

"I… I didn't tell the truth, are you angry?"

"I'm not angry."

Jin Chen raised his hand and gently flicked the child's cheek, speaking softly: "Guabao can protect himself, he's very capable, but he can't hide things from brother."

Wen Si Luo inherited the ruthlessness in the Wen family's genes; he merely frightened that boy, which already counts as restraint.

Jin Chen patiently guided, "Protecting oneself is human instinct, but one must have a mental line; exceeding it means you can't continue."

Wen Si Luo didn't quite understand, looking at Jin Chen puzzled: "What line?"

"A bottom line, you need a bottom line, tying bad thoughts to this line; as you grow older, this line gradually becomes clearer."

Jin Chen's index finger tapped Wen Si Luo's chest, then gently pinched his soft cheek, "So from today on, before Guabao does any little misdeed, he must let brother know, and I'll tell him whether it's okay, alright?"

Wen Si Luo's tiny fingers tightly gripped Jin Chen's hand, nodding obediently, his eyes filled with bewildered innocence and surprise.

After a moment, he kept rubbing against Jin Chen's embrace, still feeling unbelievable, needing reassurance, he asked again.

"But this is what a bad kid would do; do you like bad eggs, brother?"

Jin Chen stroked his hair; being stared at by Wen Si Luo only made him smile, and Wen Si Luo saw clearly that in every subtle arc from his brother's brow to the curve of his eye lay hidden tenderness.

"No matter what kind of child you are, I like you; a bad egg is also a precious egg, don't feel wronged."

Jin Chen poked Wen Si Luo's mouth corners with two index fingers, "Come on, give brother a smile."

Wen Si Luo's eyes secretly grew wet; obediently and compliantly he curled his lips, leaning to rub Jin Chen's palm, his naive fear turning into calm.

Although he still didn't fully understand, Wen Si Luo heard brother's promise and felt only happiness inside.

He was no longer an unmanaged, broken child.

He has the best brother in the world.

【Wuwuwu our little Luo is just the most well-behaved! All those brats are sold out!】

Rolling baby filter is eight chi thick.

After a week in the hospital, Jin Chen successfully obtained a healthy Wen Si Luo child, personally held him to complete discharge procedures, and additionally bought a large pile of various baby supplies that are not immediately needed.

This time Wen Si Luo knew everything belonged to him; for the first time he happily went to the supermarket, and even unprecedentedly picked out two or three kinds of snacks.

Although Jin Chen, worried that the teething period would cause cavities, restricted him to only a little each day, Wen Si Luo was still very happy, completely turning into a sesame-filled glutinous rice ball that only sticks to his brother.

Some unexpected guests also finally returned to the country, eager to meet Wen Si Luo.
