The Life As It Is Chapter 5

Ryan Shi's cheek was buried in his collar, and he pedaled hard, and the yellow bicycle accelerated and merged into the rolling traffic.

No matter what, he had wronged Dominic Gu and had to find a chance to make amends with him.

Later, Leo An came to the hospital to meet Arthur Shi. Arthur Shi was very happy. The two chatted happily, and they were as affectionate as father and mother. It made Ryan Shi stand in the narration and look like he picked something up.

Leo An didn't stay in the ward for long and left after half an hour.

Arthur Shi scolded Ryan Shi, saying that he didn't know how to please his partner: "You just stood aside like a fool, didn't talk to you, and were not active at all. I remember back then, when I chased your mother..."

Ryan Shi was hard-spoken, resigned to his fate and was scolded. The love history between Arthur Shi and his mother was poured into his head, but it was Dominic Gu who saved him.

This time Dominic Gu brought some nourishing supplements. Seeing this, Arthur Shi said, "Little Gu, how can I finish all these?"

Dominic Gu smiled and said, "Eat what you like. Your health is a big deal." He turned around and chatted with Ryan Shi again.

At this time, the nurse came to take the indwelling needle, and Dominic Gu asked, "When will you be discharged?"

Ryan Shi stared at the nurse's operation and replied: "He can't stay in the hospital. The doctor told him to leave the hospital tomorrow. He must be discharged tonight."

Arthur Shi yelled, "The hospital bed is not comfortable to sleep on."

Ryan Shi ignored him, waited until the little nurse left, and said to Dominic Gu, "Dad is discharged from the hospital and is going to hold a celebration party on Saturday. Brother Gu, you and your brothers will come together then."

When Dominic Gu heard this, he glanced at Arthur Shi, who looked at him with a smile on his face, with expectation and enthusiasm on his face.

Of course he was willing in his heart. He had been rejected several times before when he visited, but now the host sincerely invited him. This was simply a qualitative leap.

Dominic Gu pretended to think on his face, and after a few seconds he readily agreed: "Uncle Shi has been discharged from the hospital. As a junior, he naturally wants to visit."

Arthur Shi was overjoyed and said, "You must come!" He turned around and told Ryan Shi, "Thanks to Xiao Gu this time, please prepare a few more dishes. I want to have a few more drinks with Xiao Gu. Then we can't Stop me."

Ryan Shi reluctantly said yes and looked at Dominic Gu and smiled.

Arthur Shi left the hospital that night. The two of them didn't have much, so they declined Dominic Gu's offer to help. Ryan Shi held his father's arm in one hand and carried his luggage and belongings in the other hand back home.

As soon as he got home, Arthur Shi sat on the sofa, looked at his home, and sighed: "I have only lived in this place for a few months, and I feel a little reluctant to leave it."

Ryan Shi went home to cook for Arthur Shi every day without any regrets.

His hands kept moving, putting things away, and then went to the balcony to take out the grapefruit leaves he found specially.

Arthur Shi turned around and saw Ryan Shi constantly slapping grapefruit leaves on his body. He was happy and said, "Son, since when did you believe this? I'm not as superstitious as you."

Ryan Shi handed him a bunch and said, "Dad, sweep your body with grapefruit leaves to sweep away bad luck."

Even so, Arthur Shi still stood up as instructed, took the grapefruit leaf, and patted Ryan Shi from head to toe.

After finishing it, Arthur Shi had just been discharged from the hospital and was a little low on energy. He was helped to the room to rest by Ryan Shi, who also took a rest early.

A dreamless night.

Life has returned to the same calmness as before, except that Arthur Shi has gotten older, and his energy was seriously damaged due to bankruptcy. After this unforeseen disaster, his health is worse than before.

Ryan Shi went to search for a lot of food therapy and warming prescriptions, and tried different methods to replenish Arthur Shi's body.

Saturday morning.

Arthur Shi drank a bowl of tonic soup prepared by Shi Xinxin, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked Ryan Shi, "Are we going to entertain Dominic Gu and the others today?"

Ryan Shi nodded: "I asked, Dominic Gu's company still has something to do, and no one else can come. Only Dominic Gu came and made an appointment for dinner."

Arthur Shi was a little disappointed, but he had managed a large company before and knew how busy it was, so he said, "Then you have to work hard, and I'll help you."

When Dominic Gu was mentioned, Ryan Shi took the opportunity to ask him what he was thinking and whether he wanted to work in the other company's company.

Arthur Shi was not in a hurry to answer Ryan Shi's question. Instead, he asked Ryan Shi about his impression of Dominic Gu.

Ryan Shi's first thought was that Dominic Gu was a ruthless character in the original novel. If he hadn't wanted to go ashore and become a good man, the protagonist Marcus Li might not have been able to become the king of the dark world so smoothly.

After swallowing the words he was about to say, Ryan Shi combined these several contacts and expressed his evaluation: "Tough, able to relax, know people well and use them well. He is a good talent."

Arthur Shi also agreed and said: "What you said makes sense. I rejected him several times before because I heard about his conduct, unscrupulousness, deep scheming, and his subordinates being too involved with gray forces. These are all That's what I'm worried about."

He sighed, "If the Shi family hadn't gone bankrupt, I would have been willing to help him. But now that the Shi family has declined, I'm worried if I keep in touch with him too deeply..."

After hearing this, Ryan Shi still didn't understand anything, so he held his father's hand.

Those hands were once strong and strong, able to hug him easily, and also supported the company through difficulties.

Time has passed ruthlessly, and the master of these hands has lost his former spirit. Failure has broken his wings, making him question his ability. A loving father's heart supports him, but it also invisibly drains his fighting spirit.

Ryan Shi looked into his father's eyes, and his words were gentle but full of power: "Dad, don't think about me, just do what you want to do.

I don’t have any big ambitions, I just hope you can be healthy. As for money, I have enjoyed enough in the past 24 years.

Whether your career succeeds or fails, I will be waiting for your return at home. "

Arthur Shi burst into tears. He held Ryan Shi's hand tightly and said in a choked voice, "I, Arthur Shi, have a son like you. I will die without regrets!"

Ryan Shi patted his father on the back and said, "And I think Dominic Gu is a good partner. I have a hunch that his company can successfully transform."

This is what is written in the original work.

After calming down for a while, Arthur Shi wiped his tears with a tissue. After the emotional highs and lows, his rationality came back and he said, "I will think about it again. After all, I haven't had a serious conversation with Dominic Gu yet."

Ryan Shi didn't push him. Although he had the endorsement of the original work, his appearance was a variable. It was a good thing for Arthur Shi to think carefully.

He suddenly became emotional, and afterwards Ryan Shi changed the subject: "Dad, don't come to help, don't come to harm the kitchen, I'm fine by myself."

Being impressed by his son's craftsmanship, Arthur Shi glared at him with fake dissatisfaction, and his emotions calmed down. He thought of another thing: "Have you invited Xiao An?"

When he saw Ryan Shi put away the dishes, he hesitated. He knew that there must be no invitation, so he was unhappy and said, "Xiao Bai, you are too careless."

When the family went bankrupt, many people avoided us, but Xiao An never left you. He was a good boy. You can't delay others. "

This time Ryan Shi rarely made any excuses.

Leo An came to the ward specifically to visit him before, but after leaving the hospital, he still had to invite him.

Under Arthur Shi's urging eyes, Ryan Shi sent a message to Leo An.

When there was no reply from the other party, Ryan Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? What did Xiao An say?"

Ryan Shi said perfunctorily: "It's only eight o'clock in the morning and I haven't gotten up yet."

Arthur Shi said, "Okay." He put on his shoes and prepared to go to the park to practice Tai Chi. He also reminded him, "You have to take the initiative, you know?"

Ryan Shi nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart.

It would be nice if he could occasionally play the role of cannon fodder and a cuckold, but if he rushes to get in front of people, that would be too cruel, and he really can't do it.

When Arthur Shi went out, Ryan Shi threw his cell phone in the house to charge and started cleaning.

When he entertained guests for the first time in the house, he had to clean it carefully, inside and out.

The weather was not bad today, so Ryan Shi took off the sheets and quilt covers and stuffed them into the laundry bucket, and also hung the quilts to dry in the open space of the community.

After cleaning up, Ryan Shi made a simple lunch. The two of them had a casual meal, and he started busy preparing food for the evening.

Thanks to Dominic Gu's help, and coupled with his previous guilt, Ryan Shi wanted to prepare a table full of dishes to entertain others.

Vegetables, meat, fruits, and drinks were already prepared by Ryan Shi, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

The time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, and Ryan Shi took time to rest. He took off his apron, sat on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone, and more than ten missed call records suddenly appeared.

It's all from Leo An, and it works intermittently from 12 noon to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Ryan Shi resisted and Leo An called directly, swiping his finger to open the green bubble, and the pinned WeChat message was sent at 12 noon.

He doesn't play much with his mobile phone. Before, Leo An mainly made phone calls. Ryan Shi first unpinned the original owner and then clicked on the chat box.

"Sorry, I didn't see the news until I got up now."

"Dinner, what should I do? I had a dinner date with Marcus Li last night, and I also want to ask you out."

"Please, come out with me for dinner!"

Seeing that Ryan Shi didn't reply, Leo An thought he was angry, so he added: "I invited my uncle to go to a hot spring bar, a five-star hotel, and the chef is also a three-star Michelin chef, and his skills are first-class!"

Another series of coquettish and cute emoticons.

Leo An's patience ran out and he started frantically calling WeChat calls. When he didn't answer, he sent a series of WeChat messages:

"Ryan Shi, please."

"Aren't we best friends?"

The last news ended at 3pm,

"Ryan Shi, you've gone too far."

"I am angry."

Ryan Shi put out his phone with an expressionless face.

It's a good habit not to play with your phone.

Leo An was a treasure to his original owner, and he could drop everything with just one phone call, but that didn't mean Ryan Shi would do that.

Some people trample on other people's sincerity, and others will naturally trample on them. What the original owner was to Leo An was what Leo An was to Marcus Li.

Throwing the phone aside, Ryan Shi got up and continued to work in the kitchen. The soup in the pot had to be added with garnishes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Arthur Shi watched the news broadcast on time. At this time, Ryan Shi was almost fully prepared.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Here we come," Arthur Shi put down the remote control and opened the door.

Dominic Gu was holding fruits and nutritional supplements in his hands. He had light cyan eye circles under his gold-rimmed glasses. He saw Arthur Shi and said hello.

Arthur Shi smiled and said, "Come in quickly, you don't need to change your shoes. Oh, you are so polite and you brought so many things."

The gifts were placed on the entrance cabinet. Dominic Gu took off the gray scarf around his neck and said, "This is my first visit and I brought some gifts."

"You're still too polite." Arthur Shi asked him to sit on the sofa and poured him some hot tea that he had made early. "Drink it. I don't know if young people are used to it."

Taking the paper cup, Dominic Gu took a sip and said, "Excellent Maojian, good tea."

Ryan Shi, wearing a blue apron, came out to take a look. Hearing this, he said, "Can you still taste tea?"

Dominic Gu frowned: "I can't drink coffee or milk tea."

Arthur Shi felt happy that the other party was not perfunctory: "That's good, now fewer and fewer young people like to drink tea.

If you like it, the hair tips I have here are pretty good. You can take some back with you when you leave. "

Dominic Gu agreed generously.

There was a gurgling sound from the pot in the kitchen, and Ryan Shi said to Dominic Gu, "You guys watch TV and chat for a while. The food will be ready soon."

At this time, Arthur Shi asked Ryan Shi, "Can't Xiao An come over?"
