North to Hanchuan

"Little uncle!" Gu Yuze ran in happily with his arms outstretched, his small body was filled with fresh water vapor and the aroma of shower gel, "I can smell the smell of soufflé!"

"You little dog's nose." Gu Hengbei was mashing steamed potatoes into mash, kneading glutinous rice and butter into it, pressing a small dimple on the smooth and elastic dough with his thumb, wrapping a spoonful of cheese in it, and finally closing it With both palms, rub out small round balls.

A more aggressive scent of mint came from beside him, which almost washed away the smell of all the ingredients in the kitchen. Gu Hengbei turned his head and saw Ji Hanchuan standing beside him, looking at the kitchen counter with curiosity.

Ji Hanchuan stretched out his finger and poked the QQ soft dumpling lightly, then licked his fingertips.

Gu Hengbei slapped his hand with a "slap": "It's raw! Don't lick it!"

Ji Hanchuan was trembling from the beating, he glanced at Gu Hengbei quietly, and obediently stood a little further away with his hands behind his back.

Gu Hengbei glanced at him: "Have you never eaten this before?"

Probably because he just took a bath, Ji Hanchuan's eyes were moist and bright, like crystals soaked in water, he bit his lip and shook his head shyly.

Gu Hengbei doesn't know if Hanchuan has eaten this kind of food in the past four years, but Ji Hanchuan has never eaten glutinous rice and cheese dumplings before.

Gu Hengbei didn't cook anything for Ji Hanchuan, not because he didn't want to, but because his hands were too precious, as long as he was under Ji Hanchuan's nose, Ji Hanchuan wouldn't let him do anything.

Ji Hanchuan has always cooked at home, so Gu Hengbei either lay on the sofa and waited to be fed, or went into the kitchen to make trouble for Ji Hanchuan.

No matter how he made a fuss, Ji Hanchuan never turned his face, let alone slapped his hands away.

Even during Ji Hanchuan's most abnormal days, the first thing Ji Hanchuan did when he got home was to roll up his sleeves to cook and do housework.

But in fact, whose hands are not expensive, Ji Hanchuan's fingers are flying, and every character he knocks out is worth a thousand gold.

Many things are commonplace, and if they form a habit for several years, they will form a fixed pattern in people's thinking, and then they will feel that everything is justified.

To love and be loved, to give and to be given, has become a matter of course.

If one day the solidified situation suddenly opens a small hole, the whole world will be turned upside down, doubts and anxiety, worries about gains and losses will follow one after another.

Everything is in the game.

Gu Hengbei cast his eyes on Ji Hanchuan, focused and thoughtful.

"What did you eat at home?"

Ji Hanchuan pointed at himself carefully, Gu Hengbei nodded, "Well, I was just asking you."

It was rare for Gu Hengbei to ask himself such a friendly question. Ji Hanchuan was very flattered, and he counted with his fingers: "Big porridge, buns, egg pancakes..."

"How to make big porridge?"

Ji Hanchuan rolled his eyes and replied slowly: "Soak the corn balls and beans, then put them in the porridge and cook together..."

"What's the stuffing in the buns?"

"Pork vermicelli, red bean paste, pork with cabbage..."

Gu Hengbei stared at him without blinking, and continued to ask: "Who did it for you?"

Ji Hanchuan was stunned, a layer of mist slowly formed in his black and white eyes, as if he was confused, but also as if he was struggling.

Gu Hengbei put a dumpling into his hand: "Okay, I won't ask any more."

Who can do it for him?Adoptive mother and stepfather, grandparents, all of them are deceased, how can he remember them?

As expected, Ji Hanchuan's attention immediately focused on Xiaotuanzi, and he held Xiaotuanzi tightly in his hand, his eyes sparkling.

"Little uncle, little uncle," Gu Yuze jumped up and down hugging Gu Hengbei's leg, "I want to see Shu Fulei!"

"Let Ultraman hug me." Gu Hengbei shook his legs with lowered eyes, "I didn't see that little uncle was busy."

Ji Hanchuan picked up the children, put the heads of one big and one small on the countertop, looked through the glass of the oven to watch the soufflé in it protrude from the edge of the bowl under the high temperature and swelled into a big mushroom. This heartless person laughed silly and laughed together.

Gu Hengbei turned on the oven, and the sweet aroma of soufflé quickly filled the whole space. He gave Gu Yuze one-third and the rest to Ji Hanchuan.

Ji Hanchuan held it carefully, pouting his mouth and blowing hot air, then grabbed a piece of soft and fluffy cake and handed it to Gu Hengbei's mouth: "Beibei eat."

Gu Hengbei tilted his head, he didn't like to eat such sweet things: "You eat."

Ji Hanchuan pursed his lips in disappointment, and then ate the souffle in small bites.

He ate happily, and the corners of his mouth raised again, his expression of satisfaction was exactly the same as that of Gu Yuze.

Gu Hengbei put the cheese glutinous rice dumpling into the oven again, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Hanchuan feeding the child with a soufflé.

"Gu Yuze," Gu Hengbei stopped, "You can't eat too much, there will be glutinous rice dumplings later."

Gu Yuze raised his face and said confidently, "I need to eat more to grow taller!"

The cruel little uncle showed no mercy: "If you eat too much, you will only get tooth decay and a small belly! Ji Hanchuan, you eat it yourself, and don't feed it to Gu Yuze."

Ji Hanchuan withdrew his hand, finished the remaining soufflé in two or three bites, and then clapped his hands to signal the child, no more!

"Oh!" Gu Yuze circled on the ground annoyedly. He imitated Gu Jinnan's usual movement and crossed his waist. His little jelly-like pink face was puffed up like a little puffer fish, "Little uncle, our The relationship between uncle and nephew is so fragile!"

Gu Hengbei was amused, the children nowadays are ghost spirits, you don't even know where they learned these strange languages.

Gu Hengbei pointed to the cheese glutinous rice dumplings in the oven: "You can only choose one of these small dumplings and the little uncle, who do you choose?"

Gu Yuze looked at the oven in confusion, and weakly raised two little fingers: "Can I choose both?"

"No, children have to make choices."

The child had a slumped face and was in extreme pain. This was probably the most difficult choice he had made in his four and a half year old life: "Then I'll finish eating the dumplings first, and then choose the little uncle..."

Gu Hengbei snorted: "Our relationship between uncle and nephew is really fragile!"

Gu Yuze's big black grape-like eyes rolled around in shame: "That guy really likes Xiaotuanzi..."

Gu Hengbei deliberately covered his chest, pretending to be sad.

The child rushed over and hugged his legs, wrapped his thin arms and legs around Gu Hengbei's body like a little octopus, and kept shouting in a clear and bright voice:

"Little uncle, little uncle, I like little uncle the most!"

Gu Hengbei finally couldn't hold back his laughter, he picked up his nephew, and bit the apple's cheek with a bit of resentment: "Little heartless."

Gu Yuze put his arms around Gu Hengbei's neck, acted coquettishly, and kissed Gu Hengbei all over his face with saliva, and the two uncles and nephews with similar faces touched their faces, and they couldn't stop laughing.

Ji Hanchuan stared blankly, Gu Hengbei turned his eyes, and saw Ji Hanchuan showing deep envy, like a child looking at a toy he longs for.

"Ji Hanchuan," Gu Hengbei nodded his jaw toward the oven, "Which one would you choose, me or the glutinous rice dumpling?"

Ji Hanchuan's eyes brightened instantly, without even thinking about it: "Beibei!"

"See?" Gu Hengbei pinched the child's little butt, "Ultraman is better than you."

When Ji Hanchuan heard the praise, he shook his head happily, and his clear and pale face was obviously flushed.

"Ultraman is not as good as me!" Children are naturally territorial creatures, even if Ji Hanchuan is Gu Yuze's best friend now, Gu Yuze has to prove to his favorite little uncle that he is more obedient, "Yesterday Ultraman refused to sleep at night, so I took him to sleep!"

"Yo, then you are awesome, and you can also put Ultraman to sleep."

The oven made a "ding", and Gu Hengbei put the child back on the ground, and responded casually while opening the oven door.

"Yes!" Gu Yuze walked around Gu Hengbei's feet and said proudly, "Altman has been sitting at the door of my little uncle and refused to leave. I coaxed him!"

The thick cheese and milky fragrance filled the entire kitchen, melted into the air in an instant, and invaded people's internal organs. Gu Hengbei put on his gloves and took out the baking bowl, glanced at it after being betrayed by Gu Yuze. At a loss, Ji Hanchuan smiled and said:

"You two are very good, let's go and eat glutinous rice dumplings!"

----

Gu Hengbei sent Ji Hanchuan to Zhong Ran as agreed. After all, Xu Jin was worried and had been waiting for Zhong Ran early in the morning. Both of them were surprised when they saw Ji Hanchuan.

Zhong Ran hit the nail on the head: "Did he eat your Tang monk's flesh? Just such a day's work, he has been completely reborn?"

If Ji Hanchuan was still like a wandering spirit yesterday, then his body seemed to be infused with flesh and blood overnight. They can also respond, neither barking nor making trouble, obedient and clever.

Ji Hanchuan wore an iron-gray overcoat, making his figure slender and straight.

After entering Zhong Ran's office, he took off his coat. The pure white woolen sweater was soft and exuded a thin luster under the bright light. The navy blue shirt collar and sleeves were exposed outside the woolen sweater. The whole figure seemed to be covered by the blue sky. The bordered clouds are full of vigor and brightness that has not been seen for a long time.

Xu Jin's expression was indescribably complicated.

Many years ago, Gu Hengbei liked to dress up Ji Hanchuan, from T-shirts, shirts, jeans, sneakers in his youth, to high-end suits, trousers, leather shoes, ties, watch cufflinks and other small accessories after entering the mall. Almost every moment Han Chuan appeared glamorously in front of people was written by Gu Hengbei.

The two of them... have always been at their best only when they are together.

As long as the two of them stand together, they will look their best.

"Xu Jin, who is this?" Gu Hengbei looked a little strangely at Xu Jin whose eye circles suddenly turned red.

"It's all right," Xu Jin wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and said embarrassedly, "There's dust...the eyes are dusty."

Zhong Ran sat behind his desk, and gently wiped his slender fingers on his shiny desk, then blew away the dust that did not exist, and said coolly: "Our house is poor, I have wronged Mr. Xu gone."

Xu Jin was very embarrassed: "No, no, nothing..."

Gu Hengbei called Gu Yuze: "Go inside to do your homework, and ask Altman if you know anything."

Gu Yuze asked: "Can Ultraman do it?"

Gu Hengbei: "If Ultraman doesn't know it, you can teach him."

"Okay!" The child happily grabbed Ji Hanchuan's hand, "Let's go, Ultraman."

Ji Hanchuan looked at Gu Hengbei with bright eyes.

Gu Hengbei nodded at him, with the same voice and expression as when he was talking to Gu Yuze: "Go."

Ji Hanchuan grinned, and walked into the rest room with Gu Yuze hand in hand.

Xu Jin was convinced: "Senior, you still have a way."

Zhong Ran gave Gu Hengbei a thumbs up, and said from the bottom of his heart, "I found that you are born with a lot of skills, this grandpa is quite professional!"

Gu Hengbei pulled down the chair opposite Zhong Ran and sat down: "Scream Dad, I'll breastfeed you too."

Zhong Ran was deflated, and Xu Jin put the back of his hand against his lips to hold back his smile.

Gu Hengbei approached the back of the chair, with his two long legs crossed casually under the table: "Let's get down to business, I have something to do later."

Zhong Ran handed over a document, and threw a pen to Gu Hengbei: "You sign here, and I will give him the first hypnosis today."

Xu Jin was startled when he heard the word "hypnosis": "Hypnosis, hypnosis?"

Ordinary people don't understand it, and they always feel that hypnosis is a mysterious and terrifying thing.

There are three pages in the agreement. Gu Hengbei lowered his eyes, with an unpredictable expression on his face. He tapped the table with the tip of his pen and asked Zhong Ran: "Don't think about anything else, just follow your professional From a perspective, do you think it's appropriate to hypnotize him now?"

Zhong Ran's heart skipped a beat, and the word "Sure enough" came out. He pondered for a while, and said calmly:

"Generally speaking, for such a patient with cardiogenic amnesia, if the loss of memory does not have a great impact on his life, or if he chooses to forget the memory and live a better life than before, we as doctors do not advocate helping him. Forcibly recovering, most of the depression patients even recover through hypnosis and amnesia. But isn't Ji Hanchuan's situation special..."

Gu Hengbei interrupted lightly: "Don't consider his identity, just treat him as an ordinary person, so why hypnotize him?"

This time, Zhong Ran was silent for a long time: "...Ji Hanchuan's current situation is similar to self-hypnosis. He has blocked most of his self-cognition and retained common sense and knowledge. This is actually a conscious self-protection mechanism. , as long as he is guided well and other people cooperate, he can even return to a full normal life in this state, including managing the company, and gain emotional pleasure—"

Zhong Ran compared his thumb to the door of the lounge, "What he did just now is already close to this state."

Gu Hengbei twirled the pen between his fingers. He probably regarded the pen as smoke, and subconsciously sucked it between his lips.

The handsome and calm face is still calm, even a person like Zhong Ran, who is best at reading the expressions of characters, can't tell what he is thinking at the moment.

Zhong Ran reminded Gu Hengbei: "But Ji Hanchuan is not an ordinary person after all. NorMou is still waiting for him to preside over the overall situation, isn't it? Hypnosis and a certain degree of physical therapy may be the fastest..."

Gu Hengbei didn't let Zhong Ran finish his sentence at all, and asked sharply: "You can't just talk about the best situation, what about the worst situation? If his memory shows a one-sided and broken point recovery, but those memories are No, will it have a bad effect on him?"

Xu Jin was startled, and also nervously looked at Zhong Ran.

Xu Jin didn't know why, but the atmosphere in the whole office suddenly froze, and Zhong Ran's eyes looking at Gu Hengbei also became very sharp. There were all kinds of complex worries, disappointments, warnings, and harsh words that Xu Jin couldn't understand. Thick emotions.

Gu Hengbei did not avoid Zhong Ran's gaze, but also looked at him quietly.

The wall clock in the room was ticking, reminding everyone that time was passing and questions must be answered.

Zhong Ran stared at Gu Hengbei, and said slowly, word for word:

"Hypnosis can forcibly dig out the hidden memories of the patient and force him to face them, but it may also induce other emotional diseases. The sequelae of the spirit and brain are the most unpredictable, including the one-sided recovery of memories you mentioned. Bringing new trauma ... is possible."

"Then..." Gu Hengbei firmly pressed the palm of his hand on the agreement in front of him, he stood up, his voice was still light and shallow, but his tone was more sonorous and forceful than the words Zhong Ran deliberately bit out just now, "Let's keep it safe for now, let him... let nature take its course."

Gu Hengbei said to Zhong Ran: "As Ji Hanchuan's sole guardian during the period of his limited capacity for civil conduct, I have the final say on his treatment. No matter who comes to you, you say so."

……

The sky is so clean that it is rare in winter. Zhong Ran’s private hospital is full of green plants all year round, and the gardener is wrapping a new protective film on the tall cedar trees.

Gu Hengbei's car was parked under a cedar tree, and the morning sun came in through the car window, spreading a light golden veil on his hair, shoulders and neck.

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Where are you?"

The other party hesitated, but gave him the address.

Gu Hengbei drove to a newly built community, where Xu Jin lived.

Although the bell was about to explode, Gu Hengbei still used his office and rest room as a nursery.

Every thing is very difficult, and every person is very difficult to deal with, but Gu Hengbei is afraid of the egg.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Ji Ningsheng still couldn't believe it until he opened the door to let Gu Hengbei in: "You...what are you looking for me...where is Xiao Chuan?"

Gu Hengbei went straight into the room, sat down on the sofa with a big horse, and threw the car keys on the coffee table with a "bang".

Ji Ningsheng wondered about Gu Hengbei's intentions in doubt.

He had just sat down opposite Gu Hengbei when Gu Hengbei said coldly:

"Ji Ningsheng, when I returned to China four years ago, Ji Hanchuan entered the HHW Sanatorium. What kind of injury did he suffer from? What disease did he have?"
