He's just a stand-in

Lin Jiayi paused his hands while sorting out the medical records, raised his head and stared at Gu Lichuan closely, his face pale.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and neither of them spoke again.

Lin Jiayi was stunned for a while, then lowered his head, and continued to sort out the medical records.

However, the long and white fingers began to tremble slightly.

Gu Lichuan called out, "Brother Jiayi."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Lin Jiayi replied softly with a hoarse voice, still not looking up.

Gu Lichuan repeated again, "Xiaoqiu and Wei Hongyu live together, don't you have any ideas?"

Lin Jiayi put the medical interview records aside, took out other materials from the file cabinet, turned on the computer, and started to record.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Jiayi did not answer Gu Lichuan's question.

Gu Lichuan didn't speak anymore, and sat opposite Lin Jiayi, watching Lin Jiayi busy with blank eyes.

After staying for more than ten minutes, Lin Jiayi casually said, "Is it important that I have any thoughts?"

"I'm not qualified to ask him who to live with, let alone ask him not to live with anyone."

"He and I are nothing but old friends for many years."

"Why are you telling me this?"

Gu Lichuan's scrutinizing eyes kept scanning Lin Jiayi's face, but he didn't find any sad expression on Lin Jiayi's face.

Gu Lichuan was depressed and wanted to chat with someone, so he asked, "Brother Jiayi, don't you like Wei Hongyu? Don't you feel sad when you hear that he is with someone else?"

Lin Jiayi didn't stop working, and said absent-mindedly, "I'm used to it."

Having been secretly in love for so many years, I have long been used to it.

He is used to sitting in front of the TV and watching TV, flirting with others.

I am used to a person who secretly pays attention to his movements in private, hears the scandals about him and others, secretly feels sad, and then secretly heals himself.

I am used to bearing this fruitless relationship alone.

The person who fell in love first is not qualified to be sad.

Even if it is sad, it is self-inflicted.

If you don't want to be sad, you don't have to like him at all.

But I can't do it myself.

Gu Lichuan was stunned when he heard Lin Jiayi's answer, and finally fell silent.

Except for the sound of Lin Jiayi typing in the patient's information, the consultation room was eerily quiet.

Lin Jiayi knocked for a while, then asked, "Why did you come to see me today?"

"Didn't you just come to tell me that he lives with Huai Qiu?"

Gu Lichuan took a pen from Lin Jiayi's desk, and played with it casually, with a very lonely expression on his face.

Gu Lichuan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Xiaoqiu is very resistant to me touching him."

"I saw him being hugged by Wei Hongyu, flirting with Wei Hongyu, but avoiding me like a snake, I..."

In front of outsiders, Gu Lichuan was reluctant to show the most vulnerable side of his heart, so he stopped talking halfway through.

Then he asked again: "Brother Jiayi, what do you think I should do?"

"I can't be as chic as you, I... miss him very much."

"I think he can only smile at me alone, and I think he no longer looks at others."

Lin Jiayi listened to Gu Lichuan's words, his expression was unstable, but his heart was already riddled with holes.

Lin Jiayi raised his head, glanced at Gu Lichuan expressionlessly, and explained: "Although he has lost his memory and doesn't remember you, the psychological trauma you caused should still exist."

"It's normal for him to dislike you subconsciously."

Lin Jiayi mercilessly uncovered Gu Lichuan's scar.

Gu Lichuan directly lowered his face, and said in pain: "In the past...it was indeed me who was sorry for him."

"I broke his heart."

"I did it on my own, and I deserve it."

After Gu Lichuan finished speaking, the consultation room fell silent again.

Two people who were frustrated in love stayed in a room, and the surrounding air began to become dull.

Lin Jiayi was busy for a while, and said comfortingly: "Post-traumatic sequelae need to be treated slowly, don't worry, take your time."

"This kind of thing can't be rushed, otherwise it will backfire."

Gu Lichuan said in a deep voice: "Yes, take your time, I am patient."

"Even if Xiao Qiu is really with Wei Hongyu, I will take Xiao Qiu back."

"Xiao Qiu can only be mine!"

Lin Jiayi didn't speak.

He suddenly envied Gu Lichuan, envied Gu Lichuan's courage.

He doesn't even have the courage to actively pursue it, so how can he talk about the future.

Gu Lichuan fell into this situation because of his own fault, and he is no better than Gu Lichuan.

Gu Lichuan stayed in the consultation room for a long time, before getting up to leave, he said, "Brother Jiayi, actually I hope that you and I can work hard on each other to get back the person we like."

"Instead of the two of us sitting together and being sad, I don't like that feeling."

"I think no one really doesn't care or feel sad when they see the person they like with someone else."

"If it's really what you said, then it's not called liking."

Lin Jiayi remained silent.

After Gu Lichuan left, Lin Jiayi suddenly stopped what he was doing, and collapsed powerlessly on the chair, his eyes flushed.

After a long time, Lin Jiayi calmed down, got up, took off his white coat, and left the consultation room.

Gu Lichuan returned to Quchi Dongyuan again.

Gu Lichuan really didn't want to go back to Quchi Dongyuan, didn't want to go back to this cold house without Liu Huaiqiu.

Without Liu Huaiqiu, Quchi Dongyuan is left with only a bleak scene.

But he unknowingly returned to this house full of countless memories between him and Liu Huaiqiu.

Gu Lichuan walked into the villa, loosened his tie feebly, and hung his suit jacket on the hanger beside him.

Standing at the door, he looked at the house painfully and happily.

There is no trace of popularity in the huge room.

Gu Lichuan dragged his heavy steps through the empty living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and guest room one by one...

No!

None of them!

There was no sign of Liu Huaiqiu at all.

How much he wanted to open the door to see Liu Huaiqiu smiling and saying to him, "Li Chuan, you are back, I miss you so much."

He really misses Liu Huaiqiu.

I really want to hold Liu Huaiqiu in my arms, and gently kiss Liu Huaiqiu's soft lips.

I really want to hear Liu Huaiqiu call him Li Chuan again.

But these lives that were within reach before will no longer exist in a short time.

His Qiuqiu would rather be hugged by another man than let him touch her again.

Gu Lichuan stood up slowly, walked to the wine cellar, took out a few bottles of red wine from his collection, and brought them to the living room.

Sitting casually on the sofa, he opened the wine cork.

The dark red liquid slid into the goblet, like Gu Lichuan's blood that was loved but not marinated, making people unable to bear to look directly at it.

Gu Lichuan shook the goblet lightly, through the goblet he vaguely saw Liu Huaiqiu who was smiling and asking him for a kiss.

Liu Huaiqiu, who was suddenly smiling, had a painful expression on his face, the corners of his eyes were red, and there were two crystal clear teardrops hanging from his slender and thick eyelashes.

Liu Huaiqiu looked at him with tears in his eyes, and kept murmuring, "No, Li Chuan, I don't want to wear a skirt."

"Li Chuan, please let me go, okay? I don't want to be a substitute."

"I'm a man, don't be a substitute for a woman."

Gu Lichuan heard Liu Huaiqiu's voice suppressed with all his strength, and said to him in pain: "Li Chuan, let's break up."

He heard his cowardly self tell Liu Huaiqiu that they had never been together before, so why should they break up.

This is how he slowly pushed Liu Huaiqiu, who loved him, farther and farther step by step.

further and further.

Even if he touches it, Liu Huaiqiu will show a very painful expression.

He pushed the person he liked and also liked him to other men.

Gu Lichuan picked up the goblet and gently brought it to his lips.

Two drops of water suddenly fell out of the long and narrow eye sockets, dripping into the transparent goblet.

In just a second, it disappeared and merged with the dark red liquid in the goblet.

The corner of Gu Lichuan's mouth slightly curled up into a self-deprecating smile, and then he picked up the goblet and drank it down in one gulp.

It was obviously a high-quality red wine with a bit of sweetness on the tip of the tongue, but at this time Gu Lichuan felt miserable.

The bitter liquid flowed from his mouth into his stomach, into his heart and lungs, and flowed through his whole body along with his blood.

Gu Lichuan only felt an imperceptible pain in his shallow breathing.

Not to mention the heart that was about to beat.

Gu Lichuan threw away the goblet in his hand, picked up the red wine on the table and poured it directly into his mouth.

The gushing dark red liquid slid along Gu Lichuan's sharp jawline to Gu Lichuan's white shirt.

Gu Lichuan drank several bottles of red wine before stopping.

He raised his head and looked at the gate in a trance. He saw Liu Huaiqiu, who was not allowed to touch him, was hugged by Wei Hongyu, and slowly walked out of his sight.

"No, Qiuqiu, don't leave..."

"Don't go, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

"Please come back, I know I was wrong..."

Gu Lichuan buried his face in his hands in pain, a trace of coldness entered his palms.

Gu Lichuan kept murmuring in a low voice, and after waiting for a long time, he raised his head, frantically looking for his mobile phone.

After finding the phone, he unlocked it with trembling fingers, turned to Liu Huaiqiu's number, and dialed Liu Huaiqiu's phone number without thinking.

*

After Liu Huaiqiu and Wei Hongyu left Quchi Dongyuan, their boredom also improved a lot.

It's just that he still felt as if a thorn had been pricked deep in his heart, and there were waves of inexplicable pain from time to time.

Liu Huaiqiu only regarded it as the discomfort left by him after being touched by Gu Lichuan.

After arriving at Wei Hongyu's residence, he went into the bathroom without saying a word, preparing to wash off the sticky feeling Gu Lichuan had left on his body.

Wei Hongyu seemed to be in a good mood and spoke in a very relaxed tone.

If Liu Huaiqiu observed carefully, he could find the corners of Wei Hongyu's mouth slightly raised.

But now Liu Huaiqiu has no time to take care of these.

After he entered the bathroom, he found that he forgot to take the bath towel when he was in a hurry.

I had no choice but to stick out a small head and call Wei Hongyu.

Hearing Liu Huaiqiu's voice, Wei Hongyu quickly asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoqiu?"

Liu Huaiqiu said truthfully: "Brother Hongyu, I forgot to ask where your new bath towel is, I didn't take it, can you send me a bath towel?"
