In the corridor, Jiang Qi and Jiang He stood opposite each other, with their backs against a wall.Jiang He was on the side of the backlight, half of his body was shrouded in light and shadow, Jiang Qi couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Brother," after a long silence, Jiang Qi finally spoke first, "Nian Nian..."

"Nian Nian is fine," before he could finish, Jiang He interrupted him with a very low voice, "I know what you want to say, and I know how much Dr. Gu has paid, but I can't convince myself to give up on him. "

The knuckles on the back of Jiang Qi's hands turned white, "You can see, Nian Nian is really dependent on Qing Han. They have depended on each other every day for the past four years—"

"—But he is my child." Jiang He blurted out.

Jiang Qi frowned and endured it for a long time, "I know, he is your flesh and blood, but Qinghan also risked his life to save him when he was injured and operated on, and Qinghan's blood is also flowing in his body now..." Jiang Qi took a deep breath before saying, "Brother, he has given everything he has, and raised Nian Nian for four years."

"So?" Jiang He sneered, he took a step forward, Jiang Qi could finally see his face clearly, he was smiling, but his expression was cold, "Jiang Qi, in the days to come, Gu Qinghan and you, You can still spend many years with each other when you are reunited, but I am alone today, I only have Niannian."

"How can you be alone? You are my brother, am I not your relative?"

"Yes, I am your elder brother and your relative, so why do you help others and ask me to give up Nian Nian?" Jiang He's voice trembled slightly.

Having said that, it would be embarrassing for each other to continue.Jiang Qi also felt more and more that his current position was really a dilemma, so he could only shut up resentfully.

"Father, can I go home with you?" Gu Nian obediently lay beside Gu Qinghan, with her small palm tightly hugging Gu Qinghan's neck, "I really miss you."

Gu Qinghan groped and stroked the child's face, feeling bitter in his heart, "Daddy misses baby too..." He asked softly, "Uncle Jiang He, is he treating you well?"

Gu Nian let out a muffled "Yeah", "But I want to live with my father all the time."

Gu Nian didn't leave the hospital that day, it took him a long time to see Gu Qinghan, the little child was finally able to calm down, when Jiang Qi and Jiang He came in again, Gu Nian had already fallen asleep holding Gu Qinghan's arms.

The child was breathing heavily, his mouth was pouted slightly in his sleep, his long eyelashes were still wet, but Jiang He could see that his little brows were stretched.

"I have something urgent to deal with, so let Nian Nian stay here for the night." Jiang He's voice was unrecognizable, and he glanced at Gu Qinghan before leaving, but the latter's eyes were out of focus.

Jiang Qi followed him to see him off, but was stopped by Jiang He, "Go back and take care of him." He said softly.

Jiang looked forward to his back, still hearing what he had said not long ago, feeling faintly desolate in his heart.

"Good baby." Jiang Qi leaned over and kissed Gu Nian's cheek, and took a blanket to cover his body.He originally wanted to hug Gu Nian to the sofa, but Gu Qinghan insisted on letting Gu Nian sleep beside him.

"How are you? Is it still hurting?" Jiang Qi lowered his voice and asked him.

Gu Qinghan's face seemed to be paler than before, Jiang Qi held his hand worriedly: "Shall I ask Dr. Ning to come over and take a look?"

Gu Qinghan shook his head lightly, "I can't stop the pain, he just came here and nagged..." He stopped and took a few breaths, "Your brother...what did he say?"

Jiang Qi gave him a massage, "I didn't say anything."

"...don't lie to me."

Jiang Qi gently held his face, gentle but firm, "We will wait for you to leave the hospital before planning anything. Your health comes first."

Although Gu Qinghan couldn't see clearly, but hearing his voice and feeling his warmth, his heart gradually settled down, "Jiang Qi, am I being too selfish?"

"If selfishness can make your life more comfortable, I think it's good too. Don't worry, I'm here."

"Yeah." Gu Qinghan smiled slightly, and he closed his eyes. Even though his vision was blurred, his dizziness became more and more severe, and his breathing became a little short, "...I'll take some oxygen... ...."

In just a few words, his face had turned white, his forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat, he was as tired as a gardenia that was about to wither, and his chest was also heaving.

Startled, Jiang Qi hurriedly put on the oxygen mask for him, and stroked his chest carefully.Every bit of Gu Qinghan's illness was like a small sharp sword, stabbing his heart densely.

After enduring it for a long time, Gu Qinghan's condition didn't seem to improve. Jiang Qi watched him frown, his eyelashes were drenched in cold sweat, his thin white fingers grabbed the bed sheet, his body trembled, but he refused to make a sound Come.

Jiang Qi's heart raised his throat, and he quickly rang the call bell. When the doctor came over, he gently hugged Gu Nian and put him on the small bed in the suite, and then turned back a few steps to look at Gu Qinghan.

Ning Ze opened the door and came in, checked it out and asked the nurse to prescribe medicine.

"Isn't it impossible to use painkillers?" Jiang Qi heard the name of the medicine, and hurriedly grabbed the nurse to stop pushing the needle, "Didn't it mean that it would put a load on his heart?"

"If you don't use it, you'll go into shock. Do you want to see him die of pain?" Ning Ze's face was serious.

Jiang Qi let go of his hand in a daze.

After the effect of the medicine continued, Gu Qinghan's tense body finally relaxed slowly, and his breath calmed down, but Jiang Qi's breathing was very heavy.

"Are you agitated?" Ning Ze repeatedly confirmed that the situation was stable, then turned to Jiang Qi, "He can't stand excessive emotional ups and downs like this, so he should pay attention in the future."

Jiang Qi's face was pale and he couldn't make a sound, but just nodded.

Extra part

On the third day after Gu Qinghan left Jiang Qi from the hospital, someone knocked on his door.His heartbeat was chaotic for a moment, he hurriedly got up to open the door, even tripped over the sofa and almost fell down.

He actually knew exactly what he was expecting.From the moment he promised Jiang Qi's father to leave Jiang Qi, he was already regretting it.

Opening the door, standing outside was the distraught Yan Jin's mother, who was thin and thin.

"Hanhan, I can only trust you." Yan's mother held Gu Qinghan's hand tightly that day, and said helplessly, "I can't hold on for long, but Yanjin..." She lowered her head and sobbed, Sick and haggard.

Yan Jin is pregnant with a child, but his body is not suitable for childbirth.She suffered from congenital heart disease since she was a child, but because she was well taken care of, she has not had any major problems in the past [-] years.But now that the pregnancy is getting longer and longer, symptoms of discomfort begin to appear.The beautiful and bright girl in the past is no longer silent. She refuses to tell who the father of the child is, and she does not agree to give up the baby in her womb. As a result, her health deteriorates day by day.

When Gu Qinghan heard Yan's mother choked up and said these things, her already lost heart sank even more, "So, Aunt Yan, what can I do for you?"

"Help me take care of Yan Jin, I know this request is unreasonable..." Yan's mother held his arm tighter with her skinny hand, "I have consulted with the doctor, Yan Jin's situation is very dangerous , if she can survive the birth, please at least help me take care of her until her body recovers, if she is unlucky..." At this point, she covered her face with tears and couldn't continue.

Gu Qinghan took out a tissue and handed it to her, raised his hand to caress her back, "Aunt Yan, even if you don't tell me these things, I will take good care of her."

But Yan Jin's mother just cried and shook her head, and after a long time said with difficulty, "Han Han, I want you to marry Yan Jin..."

Gu Qinghan looked at her in disbelief, wondering if he heard it wrong.

"You know, her aunts and uncles have been thinking about the money left by her father. If one day Yan Jin is lying in the hospital and needs family members to make a decision, they will not really save her... There must be a person who I can trust with sincerity who can be in charge of her treatment before these people at this time...."

"I know you don't have that kind of affection for Yan Jin, I just ask you to protect her in legal relationship for a while... As long as she passes this test safely, you can divorce her... ...I can give you anything..."

"I watched you grow up, I treat you as my own child... I beg you, Hanhan..."

Gu Qinghan felt as if he was in an ice cave, his heart and limbs were numb and aching from the cold, "...this won't work..." He murmured, "I swear I will put She is taken care of as my own sister, but I cannot marry her..."

That day, Yanjin's mother didn't wait for Gu Qinghan's consent, and left hesitantly with red and swollen eyes.

It was like another heavy stone was pressing on his heart, Gu Qinghan curled up pressing his aching temple.He felt very tired, the road ahead was so vast that he could not see clearly, he fell into a drowsy sleep, and did not wake up for a long time.

Later, when he got the news, he rushed to the hospital, saying that his mother was dying.

Yan Jin fainted from crying and was helped to the side by the doctor.

"Hanhan, I lost my head in a hurry last time, and what I said was too selfish...I'm sorry, I shouldn't let you bear these...I will pay off the debt owed by your father for you It's clear...you have to live better..." Her eyes were cloudy, every word was breathy, and her chest heaved deeply and slowly.

Whether Yan Jin's mother said these words and did these things, whether she was honest and relieved at the end of her life, or whether it was the last ulterior motive in this world, playing hard to get, to make Gu Qinghan soft-hearted, others have no way of knowing.

Gu Qinghan shook his head with red eyes, choked up and said, "I promise you... I will take good care of Yan Jin..."

While taking care of Yan Jin who fell ill due to the blow, Gu Qinghan took care of Yan's mother's funeral.Half a month passed in a daze, and I almost didn't eat a meal on time. Under all kinds of pressure, my body couldn't bear it anymore.

One day, the stomachache was so severe that he had no energy left, and fell into a coma for an unknown period of time, when he vaguely heard a familiar voice.He stumbled to the window, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Qi's figure.

Gu Qinghan's nasal cavity was sore, he felt that he was dreaming, he breathed rapidly, and almost rushed downstairs to hug Jiang Qi, his physical and mental exhaustion made him miss Jiang Qi's embrace very much.

But he didn't forget the promise he made with Jiang Qi's father, he didn't forget how Jiang Qi ran around because he gave up his future, and he didn't dare to forget the danger in the hospital not long ago.Now, he also bears Yan Jin's future.

"Qinghan! Open the door!" Seeing him, Jiang Qi shouted happily.

Gu Qinghan blinked his eyes, and tears fell out.Downstairs, Jiang Qi still had gauze on his head, his face was bruised and purple, and his injuries were not healed.Such a person who was rescued not long ago is now waiting here with scars all over his body, waiting to repeat the same mistakes.

"Jiang Qi... let's separate," he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the window, not having the courage to see Jiang Qi's expression and reaction.No matter how much Ren Jiangqi knocked on the door and yelled, he never responded, and only drew all the curtains tightly in the bedroom.

That was the last time he saw Jiang Qi four years ago.
