24. 『 The Old Man 』

Zheng Hengzhao opened the curtains, turned around and looked at the person sitting on the hospital bed in silence.

The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window softly shrouded in through the window, and the orange light drove away all the darkness in the room.

There were still tears on the young man's face. He sat there quietly, not saying a word. The bright eyes of the past have no smile, and there is an empty loneliness.

There seems to be a faint echo in my ears the heart-wrenching choking sound of this person a moment ago, and the "mother" who cried out in her sleep with tears -

Recalling the fragile young man he had just seen, Zheng Hengzhao's dark eyes were filled with complicated feelings.

He had never seen Gu Shengge like that.

So when he saw with his own eyes that the young man who was usually always indifferent was curled up in the quilt and cried uncontrollably after waking up from a dream, he was a little at a loss for a while. He listened to the young man's choking sound in confusion, hesitantly stretched out his hand, and gently-he stroked the curled up young man through the quilt, clumsily as if he was comforting a wounded cat--Thinking of this, Zheng Hengzhao glanced at the black cat that was squatting in the corner of the simple cat nest and licking its paws intently, and after a moment, he wordlessly turned his gaze--Obviously, Gu Shengge was much stronger than this weak creature--

Zheng Hengzhao retracted his gaze and stared at Gu Shengge, who looked surprisingly calm in front of him, and he had to suspect that maybe he was the one who fell into a dream and couldn't extricate himself. The qiē he had just experienced was probably just his imagination.

There was a faint dryness in his throat, Zheng Hengzhao slowly stood up, walked to the small table next to the bed, picked up the kettle and poured two glasses of water. He handed the warm paper cup scalded by hot water to Gu Shengge, the man glanced at him, took the paper cup without saying a word, and lowered his head to take a sip.

Zheng Hengzhao didn't know why he felt like he was relieved, he laughed from the bottom of his heart unconsciously, and then lowered his head and took a sip. The water in the cup was a little hot, so hot that the root of Zheng Hengzhao's tongue was hot, he paused, and said in a low tone, "This is a private hospital opened by a friend of mine." Yesterday I found out that you had a fever and the nearby hospital just couldn't find a bed, so I contacted him and brought you here. He paused, feeling Gu Shengge's gaze on the corner, Zheng Hengzhao said softly, "Don't worry, it's in good condition, I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it needs to recuperate just like you." The cat nest was bought by Shen Zun, and they brought cat food when they came to see you yesterday, and Yin Ze had already fed it. Catching a glimpse of the softness in Gu Shengge's eyes, Zheng Hengzhao raised the corners of his lips, "Also, they strongly ask you to take this master back to the dormitory to serve - you'd better think about what name you want to give it?"

Looking at the man's eyes that gradually brightened, the smile on Zheng Hengzhao's lips became more and more obvious, he looked straight into the eyes of the man, seeing the hesitation in the man's eyes, he smiled and rubbed the young man's soft hair, "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, no one will be more suitable for adopting this little guy than you." You saved it, and it will make a promise. ”

Hearing his words, Gu Shengge, who had always been silent, blinked in a daze, and in the next second, he bent his eyes and showed his first smile after waking up.

Looking at the man's smiling eyebrows with relief, Zheng Hengzhao thought about something, he considered his tone, and said slowly to Gu Shengge, who was smiling, "One more thing, Shengge, about tonight's welcome party, I don't think it's really suitable for you to take the stage with your current situation-so before that, I make my own opinion-"

The abrupt vibration of the mobile phone interrupted the man's words, Zheng Hengzhao paused, he glanced at the caller ID on the screen, glanced at Gu Shengge in front of him, pointed to the door and signaled to the young man, Zheng Hengzhao took the mobile phone and walked out of the ward inexplicably. He slowly picked up the phone, and the next second, the girl's angry voice came from the phone,

"Zheng Hengzhao, you can't do this to me, the girls are rushing for the finale of the two of you to snatch up the tickets so frantically, at this time you two join forces to release my pigeons, do you think it's appropriate! There are still three hours where do you let me go to find the actors?!"

"Senpai, I'm sorry. Because there were some accidents, we had to ......"

"I don't care! Without you, I'll find someone for the finale! The publicity has been done, you don't come, and now the whole show has lost its breaking point, and if it goes on like this, I will definitely be hung on the forum tomorrow!!"

Headache from the girl's complaining cry, silently pulling away the phone, Zheng Hengzhao lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then he raised his eyes, and his tone gradually became calm, "In the finale, do you think Luo Yi is okay?"

There was a brief pause, and in the next second, Lu Yao's unbelievable voice almost rushed out of the circuit, "Luo Yi!

His ears were shaken and hurt, and Zheng Hengzhao pulled the phone away and replied in a calm tone, "If you are talking about the person who just finished the tour, then I think we should be discussing the same person." Do you think that if you let him take our place in the finale, you can hold up your party?"

"Zheng Hengzhao, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Yao's voice on the other side of the phone was uncontrollable, "That's Luo Yi!!Luo Yiluo's god!!The rock singer is coming to give me the finale of the party!! and it will definitely explode! Explode!!But can you really invite him?, you actually recognize Luo Shen ...... with Luo Shen."

"Then it's settled. Interrupting Lu Yao's incoherent speech, Zheng Hengzhao pinched his eyebrows tiredly, "Within three hours, I will ask him to contact you." Hung up the phone neatly, Zheng Hengzhao just wanted to walk back to the ward, but when he turned around, he almost bumped into Gu Shengge, who was already standing at the door at some point. Zheng Hengzhao looked at the young man's clear eyebrows in surprise, and before he could say anything, the man suddenly spoke,

"You pushed off the show. Cutting off Zheng Hengzhao's words in a low voice, Gu Shengge spoke in a firm tone.

Looking at Gu Shengge's expressionless face, Zheng Hengzhao inexplicably felt that his throat was a little dry again, "I'm sorry, Shengge, the doctor said that your current body is really not suitable for going to that kind of place where the voice is noisy and the air is closed, so ......

"Heng Zhao, you don't have to explain. Gently interrupting his words, Gu Shengge turned around and walked back to the ward. He sat back on the hospital bed quietly, covered his legs with a quilt, and looked back to see Zheng Hengzhao who was a little overwhelmed and followed up, Gu Shengge smiled at him calmly, lowered his eyes quietly, and his voice was still hoarse after crying, "I don't blame you, I guess you will definitely do this." Although it's a pity...... "Gu Shengge raised a slightly regretful smile with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, "But I know that you are for my good." Perhaps-" After an inexplicable pause, Gu Shengge lowered his head and stared at his fingers in a trance, his clear eyes revealing indescribable unpredictability, "Maybe there are some things that really can't be changed." ”

Zheng Hengzhao looked at the lonely young man in front of him, and thought about what to say, but before he could speak, the next second, Gu Shengge in front of him suddenly turned his head sideways, he looked at the young man and barely pulled out a smile, and asked him hoarsely, "Zheng Hengzhao, do you have a cigarette?"

Zheng Hengzhao stood alone in the convenience store and called Luo Yi to inform him, and he put away his mobile phone. When he grabbed the pack of cigarettes on the table and strode into the hospital, Zheng Hengzhao found that he still couldn't imagine Gu Shengge smoking.

Until he returned to the ward, he followed the young man all the way to the roof of the hospital. Watching the young man sit on the ground naturally, then quietly took out a cigarette and lit it, and then pursed the corners of his lips and inhaled hard, Zheng Hengzhao didn't know how to describe the inexplicable scene he saw for a while. The misty smoke lingered beside the young man's delicate face, blurring the clear eyebrows. The young man's fingers holding the tobacco were slender and beautiful, he lowered his head and flicked off the gray-white cigarette butt, and his fair side face seemed to be lightly plated with a layer of gold by the afterglow of the setting sun. He raised the burning tobacco between his fingers and took a deep breath, and when he lowered his head again, his voice was inexplicably filled with an indescribable nostalgia.

"Heng Zhao," Printed with the afterglow of the sunset in the distance, Gu Shengge raised his head slightly, he quietly watched the orange-red remnant sun in the distance slowly sink, and his eyes deepened. Turning his face slightly, he held the cigarette in his hand and showed a bitter smile to Zheng Hengzhao on the side, "I miss my mother." ”
