in love

Chapter 17

In the following days, Yan Qing began to visit the hospital frequently.Be with him from sunrise to sunset.Sometimes Mu Cheng would tell her anecdotes about what he had seen and heard abroad, and sometimes the two of them recalled things in college together.Sometimes, you don't say anything, just get along quietly.

Yan Qing stayed in the hospital for a few days, but she never saw Mu Cheng's parents.She was surprised, and asked Mu Cheng about the recent situation of the two elders, only then did she know that the two elders of the Mu family had left because of a car accident a few years ago.On the day she and Gu Zeyu were together for the first time, she met Mu Cheng downstairs. At that time, he had returned to China to deal with the funeral of his parents.

Surprised and extremely sad at the same time, I couldn't help but blame God for being too cruel and unfair.

What's even more strange is the way Mu Cheng and Feng Xin get along with each other. Although they are very close, they really don't look like a couple.At first Yan Qing often came to visit Mu Cheng, and was worried that Feng Xin would think too much, but after a long time, she found that this girl seemed to want her to come very much, and she was very active in creating an environment for the two of them to be alone.

Until one morning, Yan Qing was stopped by Feng Xin at the entrance of the hospital.

"Mu Cheng hasn't woken up yet. Have a bowl of soy milk with me?" Feng Xin asked her with a smile in the morning light.

This is a girl too beautiful to hate, Yan Qing couldn't help sighing in her heart, and nodded to her with a smile: "Let's go, I haven't eaten yet."

The two went to a small shop on the street together.

Feng Xin ordered soy milk and pancakes first, and then ordered a few side dishes, and asked Yan Qing, who was across the table, what to eat, she hesitated for a moment, and only said a bowl of mung bean porridge, with a spoonful of sugar.

"So you like sweets!"

"It's okay." Yan Qing smiled, "I didn't feel tired of how sweet it was before, but now it's no longer."

"I like spicy food."

"Spicy is fine, but sweet and spicy are best."

"You are still a person with a specific taste!" Feng Xin teased her, just at this time the lady boss brought up the food, and the two of them lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Feng Xin eats very quickly.When Yan Qing finished a bowl of porridge, she had only half a bowl of soy milk left.Then, holding his chin with one hand, he stirred the bowl with a spoon while watching the person opposite him eat the porridge.

Yan Qing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her for a long time, put the spoon away and said, "Does Miss Feng have something to say to me?"

"Yan Qing, I like your quick talk. Then I won't beat around the bush. Do you think Mu Cheng and I are not like a couple?"

Yan Qing forced a smile and said nothing.She doesn't want to tell lies, but telling the truth hurts a bit.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed. In fact, your intuition is not wrong. Mu Cheng and I...we are just a couple in name."

She didn't have many surprises, but she still didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she had no choice but to keep silent.

"Mu Cheng and I met in the United States at a social gathering in the Chinese circle. After that, we have been in contact with each other, but we were not very close. Until I encountered some troubles in a bar, he happened to meet and helped I cleared the siege. Later, the two of us came together."

"There is one thing that only my family members know, and I won't be afraid of making fun of you if you tell it. I am actually born with a deformed reproductive system, and I am infertile for life. I can't even fulfill my duties as a wife."

"What?" Yan Qing was very surprised at this moment, and after a long time he realized it, he could only comfort him dryly, "Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Now that medicine is advanced, there should be a way."

"You don't need to comfort me." Feng Xin smiled indifferently, "I really couldn't accept it when I first heard it, but after a long time, I don't care so much. No matter what, life is going on as usual .”

Yan Qing was silent, something flashed in his head.

But before she could figure it out, Feng Xin continued to say: "I don't love Mu Cheng, and he doesn't love me either. To put it bluntly, our marriage is just to get what we need. The Feng family expanded their business during that time, I need a talented and courageous person, and I have been lonely for too long and need a companion, even if it is only in name."

"What about Mu Cheng?" Yan Qing suddenly felt a little tangled, "You say everyone gets what he needs, so what is he asking for?" Even though she always hated Mu Cheng because of those misunderstandings, she never felt that he was The kind of person who clings to the rich and powerful for the sake of fame and fortune.Moreover, Mu Cheng already knew that he was terminally ill, and he had no reason to pursue those illusory things like fame and fortune.

But Feng Xin obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, so she just smiled and continued her own thoughts: "I have nothing else to say to you. I don't know what Mu Cheng thinks, but I feel that you Right to know!"

Yan Qing nodded: "I know. Anyway, thank you!"

"Yan Qing, do you still love Mu Cheng? Even a little bit."

Yan Qing's face froze, and he remained silent.Don't you have any love for Mu Cheng?In fact, she couldn't tell herself.But now, what can love do?
"It turns out that time can really change everything." Feng Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yan Qing laughed, noncommittal.Then stood up: "Let's go. I guess he should wake up too."

Conjecture is guesswork, now that Feng Xin and Mu Cheng are just a couple in name, Yan Qing still feels a lot more relaxed.Every time the three of them get along, there is less embarrassment and more harmony.

I just don't know if it's because of running around too frequently recently, causing excessive fatigue. Yan Qing often feels tired and weak, doesn't get enough sleep, and loses his appetite.But sometimes when I get greedy for something, I have to eat it.

After lunch that day, Yan Qing accompanied Mu Cheng to bask in the sun by the flower bed downstairs.It happened that a pair of young parents led their children to pass by. The kid was walking and eating some snacks, and the colorful pockets in his hands were very eye-catching.Yan Qing looked at it and felt that the saliva in her mouth was beginning to overflow. She actually had the urge to ask what the child ate, but it was too embarrassing, so she had to watch the "snacks" go farther and farther away. There was a lot of wailing, but there was still a serious expression on his face.

But Mu Cheng's sharp eyes still saw through what was going on in her head.I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then looked at her and joked: "Actually, I thought you would rush over and snatch it from him just now."

"Uh..." Yan Qing was embarrassed, and glanced at him, "Snatching snacks with children, am I that tasteless?!"

"You don't know, the green light was shining in your eyes just now."

"Seeing how delicious his food is, I really want to try it." Yan Qing said with a smile, "Oh, do you know what he eats?"

"do not know."

"No. When Feng Xin arrives later, I have to go to the supermarket to look for it. If it's not enough, I can buy a roasted sweet potato to satisfy my hunger. Do you want to eat it?"

Mu Cheng shook his head: "What's the matter with you? Why is it a bit like..." Halfway through speaking, he stopped talking.

In the end, Yan Qing continued the second half of the sentence carelessly: "You want to say that I seem to have 'have', don't you?"

"Xiaoqing!" Mu Cheng frowned helplessly.

As soon as Yan Qing's words came out of her mouth, her heart shook...tired, lethargic, picky eaters, her "big aunt" seems to have not been here for two months!

Gu Zeyu's trip to Australia was extremely busy.Originally, the company's new project was on the right track, so he planned to spend more time with Yan Xiaoniuer during his free time, and take a good rest by the way.Unexpectedly, the manager of the Australian branch called and said that there was a fire in the factory over there, and the situation was serious and he dared not make decisions without authorization.

After hearing the report, Gu Zeyu also felt that the situation was urgent.So I didn't have time to say goodbye to Yan Qing face to face. While holding a meeting to draw up an emergency plan, I asked my secretary to book a plane ticket for me, and I flew there with someone in the afternoon.

Because he was afraid that Yan Qing would know that he was in a hurry, so he only said that there was something urgent during the call.

The branch manager reported that the fire broke out at night, and only a few employees on duty suffered minor burns, and no serious injuries were caused.So until he got off the plane, Gu Zeyu thought it was just a serious financial loss.

But I didn't expect that things were much more complicated and tricky than imagined.The local police confirmed that it was a deliberate arson, and the reason was actually related to the forces formed by some illegal immigrants in the area.

Gu Zeyu first comforted the injured employees and their families, and then actively coordinated with various departments, and at the same time called Chen Yuanheng and asked him to say hello to some friends here.

By the time the matter was dealt with, he had been stranded there for nearly a month.He hurriedly boarded the return plane, with only one thought in his mind, which was to quickly hug Yan Xiaoniuer, and then take a good sleep, sleeping him until the sky was dark.

It has rained several times in a row in T city recently, and the air is quite humid.Walking on the street, you can feel a little water vapor mixed in the spring breeze, which is warm and soft, which is very pleasant.

Gu Zeyu got off the plane at noon when he went, and it was still the same when he came back.Before he came back, he didn't call Yan Qing, thinking that he hadn't seen him for a month, and suddenly appeared in front of Yan Xiaoniu to surprise her.

The first thing he did when he got in the car was to call his assistant, and told him to arrange a seat at Yan Qing's favorite restaurant, plus a bunch of red roses, and then he went back to the company to make some simple arrangements, and then made some hot water in the rest room of the office. bath.After taking care of things and coming out of the lounge, the assistant happened to appear in the office holding a red rose.

Gu Zeyu was in a good mood, so he chatted with his subordinates: "The style of the tie is good."

The assistant was stunned, and his respectful smile was a little more shy: "My wife picked it. Mr. Gu thinks it looks good?"

"Wife? Are you married?" Gu Zeyu was a little surprised. He remembered that the previous assistant immigrated and resigned. The current assistant was only transferred at the beginning of last year. This guy married a wife early enough.

In Gu Zeyu's mind, it is too early for a man to get married before the age of 30.

The assistant smiled even more shyly: "Mr. Gu, we are not married yet. We were called that when we were students, and we are used to it. But this year, we are going to get a certificate on October [-]."

"The relationship in the student days is good!" Gu Zeyu laughed, and took the flowers in his hands, "Work hard, young people have a future. Let me know when the certificate is finished, and I will definitely give you a big red envelope." Said After patting him on the shoulder, he walked out while thinking in his heart that he had to quickly find a time to take Yan Xiaoqing to the Civil Affairs Bureau, so that the young people would be able to compete like this!

On the way to Yan Qing's company, Gu Zeyu's cell phone rang while waiting for the red light.

A quick glance revealed that it was Gu Zeqing, but there was a strange man on the other side of the call.

"Mr. Gu?"

"Which one?"

"Mr. Gu, I'm Gu Zeqing's colleague, the captain was injured while performing official duties!"

Gu Zeyu's heart immediately "thumped": "When did it happen?"

The nature of Gu's Xiaowu's work is relatively dangerous, but this is the first time he has been injured in these years.

"An hour ago, he lost too much blood in the General Hospital of the Military Region. The doctor said he had RH negative blood. Where are you now?"

Gu Zeyu immediately understood: "I'll be there right away." He glanced sideways at the large bouquet of roses on the co-pilot, frowned, stepped on the accelerator, and turned the car onto another road.

When Gu Zeyu arrived at the hospital, Gu Zeqing had already entered the operating room.Sure enough, RH-negative blood is scarce in the army general blood bank, and it is not easy to deploy it in other places.Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the next treatment room with the little nurse to draw blood.

Gu Zeyu's grandma is RH negative blood, Gu Zeyu and Gu Zeqing are the only ones in the Gu family who have the same blood type as grandma.After the blood was drawn, Gu Zeqing's colleague took the initiative to go forward and briefly described the incident to him. Basically, one of their colleagues made a small mistake today. He was discovered while following a certain surveillance object, which caused a confrontation. During the confrontation, Gu Zeqing Was slashed.

The condition of the wound alone is not particularly serious, but the location is very dangerous.A long knife cut across the skin outside the heart.At that time, Gu Zeqing's reaction was even one second slower, and his life would be in danger.

Gu Zeyu frowned from the beginning to the end, and nodded with Gu Zeqing's colleague after listening to it. He didn't say anything, but he was a little scared in his heart. If he was still in Australia and didn't come back, the consequences would be disastrous.

The light on the operating room door went out an hour later.

Because of the local anesthesia, Gu Zeqing was awake when he was pushed out, but due to excessive blood loss, he looked very pale and weak.

He first made eye contact with his colleague, then said weakly to Gu Zeyu, "Second Brother... Fortunately, you came back in time!"

Gu Zeyu said "um", with an expression of "you owe me too much": "I was already on my way to find your sister-in-law on a date, but I was called to the hospital after a phone call. Fifth, don't forget our Gu family's virtues,' Don't say thank you for your kindness, but you will repay your kindness!" After speaking, he nodded with the nurse next to him, motioning to push him to the ward.

After getting Gu Xiaowu settled down, the doctor explained some precautions, and said a few polite words to Gu Zeyu before leaving.

Gu Zeqing glanced at the needle with tape on his hand, and after wandering between his colleagues and Gu Zeyu, he suddenly said, "Second brother, I want to eat mango."

Gu Zeyu has become a good guy, how can he not know that he has something to say to his colleagues in front of his inconvenience.So he responded, and went out happily: "Okay, I'll be back in a while."

Going out from the back door of the hospital, there are several restaurants and shops.Gu Zeyu found a tea restaurant with a good environment and sat there for a while. After guessing that it was almost time, he got up and went to the fruit supermarket.

In addition to the mango that Gu Xiaowu ordered, he also sold several nutritious fruits.

Carrying three or four large plastic bags, when he passed the garden downstairs of the inpatient department, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter mixed with male and female voices.The man's voice was low and light, revealing a little weakness.As for the woman, that voice was so familiar to him, it was clearly his Yan Xiaoqing!

Gu Zeyu was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears.

The man and woman turned around together from behind the bushes, it was indeed Yan Qing.And the man she carefully supported was Mu Cheng!
Gu Zeyu only felt waves of heat in his chest rushing towards his whole body, and he almost exhausted all his strength to control himself from rushing forward.

Yan Qing and Mu Cheng also poked in place, not knowing how to react for a moment.

The three of them confronted each other for a long time. In the end, Mu Cheng was the first to smile and nod to Gu Zeyu, and said, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."

Gu Zeyu pursed his lips and said nothing, his expression didn't fluctuate, and he was so quiet that it was scary.

Yan Qing finally came to his senses at this time, and walked up to Gu Zeyu: "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me? What are you doing in the hospital?" Seeing that Gu Zeyu was still silent, she could only slowly keep quiet, her eyes widening. From surprise to embarrassment, "Gu Zeyu, I..."

She felt that she should explain something, but as soon as she stuttered, he was interrupted abruptly: "I still have something to do, I'll talk about it when I get home at night." After finishing speaking, she strode away.

In the following time, Yan Qing was restless.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Mu Cheng felt uncomfortable for a while, but he still persuaded her sincerely: "Xiaoqing, I know you can't let go, so go find him quickly."

"Who can't let go?" Yan Qing gave him a white look.

Mu Cheng sighed: "You are dangling in front of my eyes with such a sad face, I feel sad."

"Is it that serious?"

A chuckle was her answer.

"Call him. Mr. Gu must have misunderstood, explain to him well. It can be seen that he loves you with all his heart, just talk about it. Xiaoqing, don't be self-willed, huh?"

He guided him earnestly, like an elder.Yan Qing couldn't help laughing: "If you have two more forehead lines on your forehead, I will definitely call you uncle immediately!"

"Uh..." Mu Cheng was startled, then shook his head and laughed.

"Okay, I'll go find him." Yan Qing stood up holding her bag, "Feng Xin, come over later, you need to call the nurse! I'll go first."

Yan Qing called Gu Zeyu in the corridor of the inpatient building.

She was a little apprehensive, worried that he would vomit and would not answer her phone, but she didn't expect him to answer it after only one ring.The voice was as deep and pleasant as ever, so that no emotional ups and downs could be heard.

"Qing'er."

Yan Qing opened his mouth twice, and then responded with little confidence: "Gu Zeyu, are you still in the hospital?"

"Ah."

"Where are you? I'll go find you."

"You go to the hospital gate and wait for me, I will go down in a while."

When Yan Qing appeared at the gate, Gu Zeyu was already waiting there.

He didn't drive that sports car very often, and when Yan Qing came out, he didn't dare to pass by it rashly.Until he slowly slid the car in front of her, lowered the window and said to her, "Get in the car."

"Oh." Yan Qing nodded dully, then quickly walked around the front of the car, opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

The large bunch of bright roses disappeared, but two green leaves remained on the seat.

Before sitting down, Yan Qing twisted them up and said casually, "What is this?"

Gu Zeyu didn't even look at it, he took the leaf from her hand and threw it out of the window: "garbage." After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out at full speed.

Even without explaining what happened just now, the two of them haven't seen each other for a month, but Yan Qing still has a lot to say to him.But Gu Zeyu was so indifferent to answering, and she exuded the aura that strangers should not enter, so she had to keep silent along with her.

It's just that the more I think about it, the more I feel a little wronged.

She did something outrageous, didn't she just come to the hospital to see Mu Cheng, what's wrong!Even if she had a relationship with Mu Cheng, but now that Mu Cheng is in this situation, what is there to care about!What's more, in the misunderstanding back then, she was the one who owed something!

Gu Zeyu, on the other hand, didn't say anything to her when he came back from Australia.If you don't see each other for a month, you will lose your temper when you meet him, so what?

"Yan Qing, do you think I'm not enough?" Gu Zeyu's voice rang in his ears.

It turned out that Yan Qing unconsciously spoke out what was in his heart.

"Then why can't you listen to my explanation?" She looked at him expectantly, feeling extremely wronged.

Gu Zeyu pursed his thin lips and glanced at her before he backed the car into the garage.When the car came to a complete stop, he put his arms on the steering wheel, turned his head and said a word to her: "Speak! I'll listen to you now."

But the sneer on his lips and the slightly disdainful expression made Yan Qing's heart cold, and he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing her in a daze, Gu Zeyu sneered slightly: "Okay, don't say it if you don't want to say it, and I don't want to hear it either!" Then he sneered and opened the door and got out of the car.

The car door was slammed hard, and he was so strong that the entire car body shook up and down.

Yan Qing was stunned for a while inside, and by the time he realized it, he was no longer in the garage.

"Gu Zeyu!" She hurriedly got out of the car and chased after him.

He trotted all the way to the apartment lobby, but he was still a step late.She could only watch helplessly as the elevator door slowly closed, blocking the two of them inside and out.And the other elevator just went up.

Yan Qing stood there waiting for the next shift.

After finally reaching the door of the house, I found that I had left the door key and bag in the car in a hurry to catch up.But she had locked the electronic lock of the garage door just now, and she had to use a key to open it.

Dare to feel that she can't advance and retreat now!
Yan Qing hesitated at the door for two seconds, and finally rang the doorbell.There was no movement inside either.Originally, she felt a little guilty, but now she froze and ignited into anger.

"Gu Zeyu! Open the door for me!" She raised her fist and slammed on the door.

"Open the door!"

"Gu Zeyu, open the door!"

Feeling puzzled by smashing and smashing, he started kicking.Anyway, this apartment has one household per floor, so she is not afraid of seeing jokes.

After kicking it probably two or three times, I heard two clicks of the door lock, and then the door was pushed open.

Gu Zeyu stood at the door with a dark face, only wearing a bathrobe, dripping water all over his body.

Yan Qing glanced at him, then entered the door with a cold expression and walked past him.But as soon as he reached the sofa in the living room, he clamped his arm vigorously.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain, as if a bone was broken.

She screamed out in shock, turned around and tugged at him, but he pushed him into the sofa in no time.

Yan Qing couldn't move, so he glared at him angrily, as if he could spit out fire: "Gu Zeyu, are you sick?"

"I'm sick?" Gu Zeyu sneered, "Yan Qing, if you don't make trouble for me, you will make trouble, right?"

Is there anyone in this world who is more perverse and unreasonable than Gu Zeyu?Yan Qing only felt a puff of breath in his chest, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

"Gu Zeyu, which of us is picking on who?"

He let go of her, but still imprisoned her within an inch of his chest.

He didn't speak, and looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and stroked her eyebrows: "Look at the staring eyes! Don't you want to bite me twice now?" He paused, then suddenly raised his voice He raised his voice, "Why the fuck did you smile when you looked at Mu Cheng? Huh?"

Yan Qing was terrified, and then stood up and pushed him on the chest recklessly: "Are you bored or not!"

Gu Zeyu staggered and bumped into the coffee table behind him, ping-pong-pong, and a piece of the cup, bowl and fruit plate on it was overturned.The calf was cramping and hurting, but he didn't seem to notice it. He just looked at her fixedly and sneered uncontrollably.

"Why, do you think I'm boring? It's not boring to guard Mu Chengcheng all day! I'm not here this month, are you empty and lonely, so I remember that my old lover came."

With a slap, he firmly interrupted what he said later.Yan Qing was trembling all over, and stared at him blankly, his face full of disbelief: "Gu Zeyu, do you know what you are talking about?"

As soon as Gu Zeyu said that, he knew that he had gone too far.He stood there, waiting for the remaining pain on his face to disappear, and calmed down: "Qing'er, tell me, what are you doing?"

He intends to ease up, and she doesn't want to make the world turn upside down.Yan Qing took two deep breaths, sat back on the sofa, and was indescribably exhausted: "Mu Cheng is sick, I'll go and see him."

"I thought you only need to use your eyes to see, you don't need to hook your shoulders!"

Yan Qing raised her head abruptly: "What do you mean?" It seemed that she wanted to calm things down, but he refused to let her go. "Mu Cheng is not in good condition and may fall down at any time. What's the matter if I help him?"

"Yan Qing, do you think I'm a fool?"

"You are not a fool, you are a lunatic!"

"I'm crazy because you made me crazy! You two talk and laugh downstairs every day, Zhao Xu alone has seen it a few times! Don't you hate him so much? Why did you suddenly change? One month You have 31 days to run there! Mu Cheng has a wife and relatives, who are you? Is he terminally ill or something? Let me tell you, even if he dies, it's not your turn to worry about it!"

"You bastard!" Yan Qing jumped on him this time, like an angry lioness.

The two wrestled together in an instant.

At first, Gu Zeyu focused on parrying, but later he got two cuts on his neck, which caused burning pain.He spat, and grabbed Yan Qing's wrists with one hand, trying to throw him directly onto the sofa.But seeing the tears on her face, her heart was instantly tangled up.

That scene this afternoon had already driven him to the point of going crazy.He left in a hurry because he was afraid of doing something impulsively that would make him regret.

When he returned to the ward, Zhao Xu was there.

Later, when Gu Zeqing was sleeping, Zhao Xu called him out alone, and he told him that Mu Cheng was terminally ill, and his myasthenia gravis would not survive five months at most.He was still feeling a bit shaky at the time.His next sentence was: "Siblings have come to see him almost every day this month."

She visits him every day.

That was his woman, but she stayed by another man's side every day!And that man once had a deep affection with her, and swore to each other forever!
