About twenty minutes later, it was the same hospital as before.   Chen Mo had a gastroscopy.   The doctor looked at his lab results for a long time. "Acute gastritis. You've had this stomach problem for quite a while, haven't you?"   Chen Mo sat on the stool. "I had chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers before, and it had been recurring for about three years."   The doctor paused.   Gou Yiyang, standing behind Chen Mo, gasped in shock.   It's not that this disease sounds scary, but if someone is very familiar with their own health condition, it only proves that they are a long-term patient.   Yes, an elderly patient who is not yet eighteen years old.   Three years ago, Chen Mo was only fifteen years old.   If anyone saw this medical report, who would believe that although he came from a poor family, his adoptive parents were loving and doted on him, especially since Gou Yiyang had seen all the scars on his body?   It's like... why hasn't the world exploded yet.   Outside the doctor's office.   Xi Jianxing, having sobered up considerably, turned his gaze away from the office and muttered to his seemingly emotionless nephew standing beside him, "Don't you have anything to say?"   Xi Siyan looked over.   "Cold-blooded and ruthless," Xi Jianxing muttered.   He glanced inside again and sighed, "I have to say, this son of the Yang family is... well, unexpected. If I were in his position, I would have taken revenge on society long ago. But look at him, he was still calling me 'Second Uncle' politely in the car, and he didn't utter a sound even though he was in so much pain, and he was still able to cooperate with the examination with a calm demeanor."   Xi Siyan glanced at his watch.   "You should go back now," he told him, urging him to leave.   Xi Jianxing: "And you?"   Xi Siyan looked at the person who had already been given an injection by the nurse and said, "I'll try to get the hospital to make room for a bed."   "Fine, I take back what you said about being cold-blooded and heartless."   Xi Jianxing hadn't planned to stay long anyway, and seeing that the situation had stabilized, he prepared to return.   Before leaving, he suddenly turned back for some reason.   "You and that kid inside really have nothing going on, right?"   This address made Xi Siyan frown deeply. He reminded him, "You're seventeen, at least 1.78 meters tall. You're still drunk. I'll take you to the bathroom tap to rinse off."   "Out of embarrassment and anger?"   Do I look like one?   Xi Jianxing nodded, then changed the subject: "That's fine then. The Yang family is like a cat that's been smeared with fish these days. If they had a daughter, they'd probably want to put her in your bed. Oh, I forgot to remind you, Yang Qi'an is really eyeing that Beichuan project. If they don't have a daughter, you could at least have a son."   “Of course.” Xi Jianxing added, “The Yang family didn’t intend to count on the one inside.” He said this as if he found it amusing, looking his nephew up and down, and said, “Who would have thought that the person being searched for like crazy at the banquet would be in the same place as the most unbelievable one, a son who has already come out of the closet? Isn’t it interesting how things work out in this world?”   After he finished speaking, he ignored his nephew, whose eyes were filled with coldness, and walked away with a smile, as if he had teased him enough.   Chapter 17   That evening, Chen Mo's original plan was to find an internet cafe or something to spend the night after his IV drip finished, since the school had a curfew. However, not only did Gou Yiyang remain, but shortly after Chen Mo started his drip, Xi Siyan, whom he thought had already left, reappeared in the corridor, asking him to go to the ward, saying there was a vacant bed.   Chen Mo didn't act coy at this time and went.   It was almost midnight.   The nurse hung his IV drip at the head of the bed, explained the precautions, looked at the boy lying on the bed, and then at the two other people standing on either side of the bed.   "Classmate?" the nurse asked Chen Mo.   Chen Mo leaned back and nodded in response.   The nurse smiled and said, "Your classmates have a pretty good relationship, staying with you at the hospital in the middle of the night. But after midnight, only one person can stay with you. You can sleep on the folding bed next to you. It's a bit hard, but a young man can make do."   Chen Mo: "It's okay, they'll be back soon."   The nurse didn't say anything more, nodded, and left.   As soon as the nurse left, Gou Yiyang dragged out a folding bed and said, "I'm not going back. I'll stay here with you tonight." Then he looked up at the other side and said, "Brother Yan, you should go back. Judging from your outfit, you must have something going on tonight?"   "It's nothing." Xi Siyan turned his gaze away from Chen Mo's IV drip.   No sooner had he said that than his cell phone rang in his pocket.   As soon as the call connected, the voice on the other end could be faintly heard even in the quiet ward late at night, and it was familiar; it was none other than Sun Xiaoya, the class representative.   Sun Xiaoya said loudly, "Let me ask you where you are!"   Xi Siyan: "What are you doing?"   The other side seemed to be in a lively place, with the sound of fireworks exploding and young men and women playing around. Someone seemed to be crowding around Sun Xiaoya's phone, chattering amongst themselves.   "Old Xi, where have you been all night? Come quick!"   "Xiaoya, tell him to hurry up! We specially arranged to meet at the beach, and some people have been waiting anxiously all night. Don't they have any sense of propriety?!"   "Liao Tingting, why are you blushing?"   "Go to hell!"   Finally, a young girl's voice came through, sounding both coquettish and angry. Sun Xiaoya seemed afraid that she couldn't hear clearly on the phone, so she deliberately went to a relatively quiet place.   Sun Xiaoya: "Why are you asking? Didn't we already say it's Tingting's birthday? What time will you be there?"   "I can't get there." Xi Siyan switched the phone to his other hand. "It's at the hospital."   "Damn! You'd go to the trouble of ending up in the hospital just to avoid her?" Sun Xiaoya's voice was tinged with shock, but quickly turned to anger. She said, "I don't care, you have to come tonight. I've already told everyone. Yang Shule is here too, with so many people watching. If you embarrass my friend, Yang Shule will probably be laughing in his sleep tonight."   Xi Siyan: "Sun Xiaoya, are you sick?"   Suddenly hearing Xi Siyan cursing, Gou Yiyang shrank back in the ward and gave Chen Mo a scary look.
