The Escort

are you all packed?”

Aunt Jiang pulled the zipper of the last luggage, then smiled and said, “All done.
Let’s see if Ms.
Rong has left anything.” 

Shao Rong shook her head.
“All of my things were already packed.”

Shao Mingwei once again checked if all things were packed in luggage and said, “Then, let’s go.”

Just as he finished talking, there was a knock on the ward’s door.

“Please, come in.” Shao Mingwei thought it was the nurse who came to tidy up the hospital bed, but he didn’t expect that Min Yu would be the one coming in.
He was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.
“Why are you here?” 

“I was afraid that there would be any complications after the operation.
I never had the chance to see your sister, but after I knew that she will be discharged from the hospital today, I decided to pass by and take a look and pick you up on the way.” Min Yu explained gently, handing over the exquisite and beautiful large paper bag he was holding to Shao Rong.
He smiled and said, “Hello, little girl Shao Rong.
I’m Min Yu, your brother’s friend.
You can call me Uncle Min.
This is our first time meeting, so this is my gift to you.
I wish you good health and a quick return to school.
”

Shao Rong didn’t know, but his brother seems to have become so… different after his friend arrived? She couldn’t tell where exactly and it’s not like her brother’s friend is her friend anyway.
When she saw the stranger she was a little shy but she still greeted him politely, “Hello, Uncle Min.” But instead of picking up the gift Min Yu handed over, she looked at Shao Mingwei.

Shao Mingwei touched her head and said with a smile, “The gift is yours.”

Shao Rong bit her lip and carefully took it.
“Thank you, Uncle Min.” 

“You’re welcome.” Min Yu laughed with familiarity, the tone of his voice kind.
“You open it and see if you like it or not.”

Shao Rong nodded, carefully opened the paper bag, and took out its contents.
A box of white fountain pens, a palm-sized purple crystal bear pendant, and a large ship jigsaw puzzle.
Although she had never received these kinds of gifts before, she could see that it was of great value.
Shao Rong was very astounded, but also a little worried. Aren’t these things so expensive?

Min Yu asked, “Do you like it?”

Shao Rong nodded vigorously. 

Min Yu smiled and said, “It’s good that you like it.
Then let’s go, ba.
There will be traffic jams on the road at night.”

Shao Mingwei and Min Yu walked in front side by side, then Shao Rong heard his brother whisper, “You don’t need to spend so much money.”

Min Yu laughed softly, then whispered, “The child was discharged from the hospital.
It’s only natural to receive gifts, and little girls like beautiful things.
Jingchun has a lot of them.
Xiao Rong is very obedient.
You should also pay more attention to her psychological needs.”

…… 

Their voices have even become lower that Shao Rong couldn’t hear them anymore.
She quietly looked at Min Yu, who had a good-looking face and an expensive dress, somewhat wondering: When did her brother have such a rich and familiar friend?

But she likes it too! Thinking like this, Shao Rong hugged the gift in her arms tightly.

Several people were waiting for the elevator.
When the elevator opened, it was going up and there were still a lot of people inside, so they waited for the elevator to go down from the top floor before entering.

“Mr.
Min?” The speaker’s tone was pleasantly surprised. 

Min Yu was talking to Shao Mingwei in a low voice, not paying attention to the people coming out of the elevator.
He quickly looked at the person who suddenly called, then smiled: “Mr.
Xiao, it’s a coincidence.”

Xiao Luoyuan had a pleasant surprise and was in a good mood.
“I didn’t expect to meet Mr.
Min at the hospital.
The two of us are really fated. You are…?”

At that moment, Shao Mingwei glanced at Mr.
Xiao several times.

Min Yu didn’t respond to Xiao Luoyuan’s “we’re fated”, and only smiled faintly, “Someone in the family is sick and will be discharged today.” He also politely asked Xiao Luoyuan, “Is Mr.
Xiao not feeling well?” 

Xiao Luoyuan quickly waved his hand.
“No, no.
It’s a friend of mine who drank too much alcohol and had gastric perforation.
He was hospitalized, so I’ll be visiting.”

Min Yu’s face showed a consoling expression.
“Alcohol is not a good thing and should be consumed less.”

Xiao Luoyuan agreed, “You’re right…” He secretly looked at the three plainly dressed people beside Min Yu.
He didn’t believe it was Min Yu’s family.
He was a little curious, but after all, he didn’t have much interest in anyone except Min Yu, so he didn’t ask much.

After the exchange of greetings, the elevator came down, Xiao Luoyuan knowingly said, “Then you go in ba, I will also go and find my friend.
Then Mr.
Min, see you later.” 

Min Yu nodded, then smiled and said, “See you.”

Before the elevator was completely closed, Shao Mingwei glanced at Xiao Luoyuan’s tall built, and straight face one last time.
