Chapter 111: Work hard
The afternoon air is exceptionally fresh, and without the noise of children, the whole orphanage seems more and more peaceful and quiet.
"Is Mingming's illness innate?"
Gu Chen and An Xiaoran were walking on the tree-lined path, and An Xiaoran suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?"
"I think it's not like other children with autism. He is smart and talented, and although he doesn't like to communicate with others, he is not completely exclusive to everyone. I think it's possible that he's been traumatized and doesn't want to be close to anyone else. ”
Gu Chen stopped: "Do you know a lot about autism?"
An Xiaoran shook her head: "It's just a little bit." ”
She also learned that Gu Chen donated money to the Autism Treatment Center, so she curiously checked it on the Internet. This disease has both congenital factors and acquired possibilities, and the treatment process is cumbersome, requiring the help of family and society in many aspects before it can be initially cured. However, it is not excluded that the child may recur in adulthood.
"Mingming's parents abandoned him when he was three years old and left him on the highway, and it was a passing driver who found him and called the police, who had been walking in the torrential rain for five or six hours when the police found him. ”
Gu Chen's simple words were enough to make An Xiaoran feel distressed.
"Why are they doing this?"
At the age of three, I already have a memory. Even if there is a difficult reason, you can't just abandon him, and he is still thrown in such a dangerous place as the highway, the sight of the rainstorm is not good, and the consequences are unimaginable if he is hit. That memory is likely to be a lifelong nightmare for Ming Ming.
"I don't know, I can't ask anything from Mingming, the police issued a missing person notice, but a month has passed, and there is still no news. They had to send him here. ”
"At first, he could still speak, and he could simply say something about his family. But then, he refused to communicate with others. ”
That kind of trauma is simply devastating for a child.
An Xiaoran was indignant: "How can there be such ruthless parents in this world, they are not abandoning at all, but murdering!
"Of course there have been treatments. The dean noticed his abnormality and took him to see a doctor, who was diagnosed with atypical autism. As you might think, his illness is not congenital, but a mental illness after great trauma. The dean tried to intervene in Mingming's mind, but whenever the psychiatrist touched his memories of the day he was abandoned, Mingming would go crazy and fall seriously ill. There is no way, it can only be like this first. When he is a little older and has a stronger psychological capacity, it is not too late for treatment. ”
An Xiaoran's heart was full of complicated emotions, her brows were tightly locked, as if she was thinking about something big. Gu Chen looked at her appearance and couldn't help laughing: "However, it's obviously an exception for you." The first time I met him, it took me a whole week to get a response from him, and you, it only took a few hours, which is really amazing. ”
An Xiaoran asked Gu Chen with a straight face: "Is this the reason why you donated money to the hospital to establish an autism treatment center?"
Gu Chen was slightly stunned, "How do you know?" After thinking about it, he asked again, "What did the people in the hospital say to you?"
"Hmm. ”
"They're really ...... people."
Gu Chen took a step forward and continued to walk forward. An Xiaoran chased forward: "Gu Chen, if they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had done so many good things." There are many more children like Ming Ming, and you are the one who gives them the environment to heal. You donate so much money, and you don't go through the media, and you don't leave your name for doing good deeds, I think you are great. ”
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Are you praising me?"
"Of course, I think you're a good person. ”
"Thank you for your nice guy card. ”
"I'm serious!"
Gu Chen looked at her and suddenly leaned closer: "You think I'm a good person now, so what about before, was I a bad person in your heart?"
The suddenly enlarged handsome face made An Xiaoran's heart skip a beat.
"Hmm......" she took a step back, "it's not as good as it is now...... anyway"
Gu Chen looked at her steadily, her slightly flustered face was full of sincerity, so clear that she seemed to be able to see her heart at a glance.
A breeze blew through her sideburns, and strands of hair from her sideburns fluttered in the wind and landed on her rosy cheeks. Gu Chen raised his hand and gently plucked the silk for her.
"When I see Mingming, I can remember my former self. Helping them is also helping myself. ”
An Xiaoran was slightly stunned: "What, what do you mean......"
Gu Chen's dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and he shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go, take you to see where I used to live." ”
With that, he strode on.
Looking at his back, An Xiaoran's heart seemed to have been knocked on by someone, and this situation was inexplicably familiar. But where she had seen it, she couldn't think of it.
The place where Gu Chen lived has now been made into a warehouse to store the children's sports equipment. An Xiaoran couldn't see what he looked like back then, but Gu Chen stood in the room and fell into deep memories.
From the outline, he can find the shadow of his childhood, even if time has passed, everything is very different.
When I left the orphanage, it was almost dusk. Obviously, he had a lot of fun with them, and after a day of contact, in his young heart, he had already treated Gu Chen and An Xiaoran on the same footing.
Before leaving, the dean squatted next to Ming Ming and said to him, "Ming Ming, say goodbye to Xiao Ran Gu Chen." ”
Obviously beckoned to Gu Chen shyly, and looked at An Xiaoran again, his little hand twisted down.
An Xiaoran smiled and waved at him: "You have to paint well, I will continue to learn to paint, next time I come to see you, let's have a good competition." ”
In the big round eyes, the expected light immediately flashed.
"Goodbye, then. ”
Gu Chen opened the car door for An Xiaoran, An Xiaoran said goodbye and was just about to sit in, when suddenly, Ming Ming shouted loudly: "Goodbye, Aunt Xiao Ran!"
The clear and crisp voice made everyone present stunned.
An Xiaoran stopped getting into the car and felt that her blood was boiling.
Mingming's chest was panting violently, as if he had accomplished something particularly remarkable, and as soon as he finished speaking, his small hands clenched the dean tightly, as if only in this way was he safe.
For the first time, I obviously spoke!
An Xiaoran walked quickly in front of him, this time, obviously no longer afraid to look directly at her, but tried to grin and smile.
For such a big change, Gu Chen was also unexpected, for so many years, he obviously didn't talk to others, even the psychiatrist couldn't do it, but An Xiaoran did.
Sure enough, this woman has magical powers.
However, in the next second, this excitement instantly collapsed.
I saw An Xiaoran raise his hand and flick Ming Ming's skull hard: "Call sister!"
Ming's grinning mouth froze there like this, not only him, but everyone's cheers came to an abrupt end.
obviously looked at An Xiaoran aggrievedly, and his forehead ached.
An Xiaoran continued to correct solemnly: "Call! sister! sister!"
Obviously, he subconsciously retreated, glanced at Gu Chen, and then looked at the dean for help, but none of them seemed to help him. An Xiaoran's delicate face approached him little by little, and he only felt that his heart was about to jump out.
He didn't understand what he had said wrong, but, obviously, he had said it wrong.
"If you don't call me sister, I'll paint your face green next time and make you Shrek!
He didn't know what Shrek was, but what he knew for sure was that his face couldn't turn green.
"Sister......" is obviously difficult to say, but she has to be called. After much confusion, he closed his eyes and shouted loudly again, "Sister Xiao Ran!"
After shouting, his little heart couldn't bear it, shook off the dean's hand, and ran into the door without a trace.
Everyone exhaled and continued to smile. They thought that An Xiaoran's persecution would make Ming Ming feel uncomfortable, but obviously, Ming Ming gave An Xiaoran a lot of face, not only did he not get sick, but he really called his sister.
An Xiaoran had a sense of accomplishment on her face, and the dean held her hand excitedly, with tears in her eyes, and repeatedly told her to come here often to accompany Ming Ming.
"Don't worry, Dean, I'll be here whenever I have time. ”
Sitting in the car, Gu Chen personally fastened the seat belt for her, and with a side face, he gestured to kiss her on the lips. An Xiaoran hurriedly dodged.
The dean and the other teachers were still watching, what was he doing?
was avoided, and Gu Chen was not angry.
He couldn't help but think of the flush on his cheeks just now, when he was obviously called Sister An Xiaoran, and he laughed softly.
The orange-red halo of the setting sun sprinkled on Gu Chen's face, and his smile turned everyone upside down.
An Xiaoran was stunned again.
……
On the European-style sofa, Borg waited quietly, he looked at his watch from time to time, and his slightly frowning brow showed that he was anxious at the moment.
He was very worried about Gu Chen's health, as Gu Chen's personal doctor and friend, he had to make sure that Gu Chen was not hurt by that kind of medicine, and told him to take medicine every day without interruption, but Gu Chen was still so disobedient, not only did he not ask him for an antidote, but also left the hospital without authorization.
The toxin also spreads in his body, and every time he has a fever, it will make it more difficult to detoxify.
Gu Chen, how could he not pay so much attention to his body.
Steward Zhou carefully refilled the cup for Borg, and the green tea shreds swirled up in the transparent glass, and then slowly fell back to the bottom of the cup.
"Steward Zhou," Borg smiled and took the tea, and asked in fluent Chinese, "You have been taking care of Gu Chen by his side, you should know him very well." ”
Steward Zhou nodded lightly, "Yes, it's been a long time, since I was in Europe, I have taken care of the young master's diet and daily life." ”
"Is there any suspicious person around him?"
Steward Zhou stopped what he was doing: "Suspicious person?" She looked at Zhang's mother who was helping on the side, and Zhang's mother immediately said, "You guys talk first, I want to go and take a rest." ”
After Zhang's mother went upstairs, Steward Zhou slowly spoke: "If you talk about suspicious people, then there is only ...... Miss Ann ......"
Borg narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh?"
