Chapter 80 What’s Wrong With You, Ji Naitang?
“Come. Choose your favorite one. We’ll adopt whomever you like. You always wanted an older brother, right? This will be your birthday present. Okay”
“Then he will be your older brother from now on. He’s also your birthday present for your fifth birthday. You have to cherish him well.”
“Oh, I almost forgot. Today seems to be your birthday. What kind of birthday present do you want? I heard that your present for your fifth birthday was your brother. Now that you’re ten, why not let it be your brother again? But it’s bad for you to get the same present twice. How about this? I’ll do something extra for you?”
These words constantly echoed in Ji Naitang’s brain. His breathing grew more rapid. He started to tremble. Cen Muqi and Assistant Liu realized that something was wrong with him.
“What’s wrong with you, Ji Naitang?”
Ji Naitang took a step back. Cen Muqi was a little worried. “Are you not feeling well? Is your stomach hurting again?”
Cen Muqi saw Ji Naitang’s eyes turn red. He wanted to go over and pull him into the apartment, but Ji Naitang suddenly turned around and ran away.
“Ji Naitang!” Cen Muqi dropped the gift in his hands and chased him. But when he got to the elevator, the elevator door just closed. He didn’t wait for the other elevator and directly went down the stairs.
They lived on the 21st floor. It took some time for him to descend the stairs, so even though he went the fastest he could, Ji Naitang was still faster.
Ji Naitang ran out of the apartment and hailed a taxi. Cen Muqi chased a few steps and hailed a taxi too. He told the driver to directly follow Ji Naitang’s taxi.
Cen Muqi wanted to call Ji Naitang, but he touched his pocket and realized that he didn’t bring his phone because he came down in a hurry.
“Sir, you didn’t tell me where you want to go.” Ji Naitang’s taxi driver asked in puzzlement. This person told him to drive as soon as he got into the car, but he didn’t say where he wanted to go.
Ji Naitang forced his hands to stop shaking. He pulled his phone out to call Yao Yuanjing, but he remembered that he was blocked. He took a deep breath and called the number that Yao Yuanjing frequently used.
“Hey, Naitang’er, you know how to call this number. Do you know your mistakes and you’re ready to apologize to me now?” Yao Yuanjing knew it was Ji Naitang as soon as he saw the number. So, he started teasing him as soon as he picked up.
“Where are you……?”
Ji Naitang’s voice was very bitter and it almost shook. Yao Yuanjing knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Naitang?”
“Where…… Where are you?”
“I’m home at the villa. Where are you? I’ll come find you.”
“I’m coming over.” Ji Naitang hung up and told the taxi driver the address. Then he leaned somewhat painfully against the door. The driver frequently looked back at him. He even wanted to ask Ji Naitang whether he needed to go to the hospital first.
Yao Yuanjing didn’t know how far away Ji Naitang was, so he waited by the door of his villa after he hung up the phone. He saw a taxi coming after half an hour.
After the taxi stopped, the back door opened. Ji Naitang came out. Yao Yuanjing didn’t have the chance to ask if he was okay when Ji Naitang fell onto him. Yao Yuanjing quickly reached out and pulled him into his arms.
“What’s wrong?”
“Pay the fare……” Ji Naitang’s voice was very soft. Yao Yuanjing took a hundred yuan and handed it to the taxi driver. Then he took Ji Naitang and walked away. The taxi driver shouted, “Your change.”
“Keep it.” Yao Yuanjing wasn’t in the mood to care about the taxi driver, so he ignored him after he answered. He raised his hand and patted Ji Naitang’s back. “What happened?”
Ji Naitang didn’t speak. He only hugged him tightly. Yao Yuanjing could feel that Ji Naitang was crying. Although they grew up together, he had rarely seen Ji Naitang cry before.
