32. Grand Chapter
The kind of Du Yanyi who looked at it with a scornful smile was very uncomfortable.
Staggered his eyes and ignored him, and Du Yan went downstairs directly.
Where Gu Chen went Du Yanyi didn't know, but he couldn't let himself starve to death, so he planned to go down and find the kitchen to get something to eat first. Fortunately, as soon as he came down from upstairs, Xu Fei walked around from behind the stairs in the hall with a tray.
"Yo, wake up?"
Holding the tray and saying hello to Du Yan with a smile, Xu Fei walked to the sofa in front of the TV in two steps, put the tray on the brown table, and turned around to say hello, "Are you hungry?" Boss Gu said that you haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon, and when you left, I specially warmed the porridge and put it on the stove to wait, and if you don't get up again, I will go up with the porridge. β
Du Yanyi didn't talk to Xu Fei, he only knew that she was Huo Sihan's wife, and she had a good relationship with Gu Chen, so she was still a little embarrassed, but after listening to what she said, she felt that she should be quite easy to get along with.
Touching the collar that had been buttoned to the top to ensure that the marks on his neck would not be exposed, Du Yan raised his feet and walked towards Xu Fei.
Two pairs of dishes and chopsticks had already been placed on the small table, and Xu Fei was sitting next to him and took out the spoon from the tray.
"Hmm" Du Yan walked to the sofa and wanted to thank him, but he didn't know what to call Xu Fei, and his throat was a little stuck.
Xu Fei looked up at him and smiled, "Just call me Sister Fei, eat it quickly, it's almost cold." β
Du Yanyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Fei." β
Looking down at the millet porridge that was still steaming with a lustrous color, Du Yanyi sat down next to him, picked up a small bowl and stirred it with a spoon and praised: "It looks very good, Sister Fei's craftsmanship is really good." β
Xu Fei laughed twice, "How can I cook porridge, it was Boss Gu who asked Auntie to make it in advance, so I will heat it up." β
Gu Chen asked Auntie to do it?
Du Yan's heart moved, and the small bowl in his hand suddenly became a little hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the spoon and drank two mouthfuls of porridge.
"Sister Fei, you are partial, I haven't seen you get me something to eat for so long."
The person sitting in front of the window, bent one leg and stepping on the partition under the high stool, hanging in the air with one leg kicking and swaying, holding his head with one hand and looking at this side with a smile.
"Didn't you eat it when I asked you just now?"
Xu Fei glanced at him with a smile, Zhao Mingrui jumped down from the stilted chair, walked to the sofa opposite Du Yan and sat down, looked at Xu Fei and smiled, "Don't you see that you are hungry again." β
Xu Fei has been married to Huo Sihan for a few years, and he is also familiar with Zhao Mingrui, and when he saw him smile and speak, he just complained, 'It's your trouble', and then got up to get him food.
After Xu Fei left, only Du Yanyi and Zhao Mingrui were left in the entire hall.
Du Yanyi had never seen Zhao Mingrui but had heard his voice, so he still had a little impression of the identity of the person in front of him in his heart.
Compared with Du Yanyi, Zhao Mingrui's understanding of him is too thorough! On the one hand, because Du Yanyi is a small star, he often plays soy sauce on TV, and on the other hand, because Zhao Mingrui has some ulterior thoughts about his cousin, so he pays a lot of attention to the people who appear around him.
Gu Chen has a cold personality since he was a child, although there have always been many people who like him and have a crush on him, but Zhao Mingrui has never seen any flowers and plants around him, so when he overheard that the big boss of Leyu had a little lover, he sighed directly in his heart!
-- People who have never attached importance to their feelings, once they start to show their feelings, will be several times more serious than ordinary people.
This is the truth that Zhao Mingrui has always firmly believed, so when the news reached his ears, his whole person panicked directly, and after the panic, his eyes were full of irrepressible anger.
found a private detective to secretly follow and investigate, until he knew that his cousin was just staying in an apartment, and he hadn't seen him a few times, Zhao Mingrui's tense nerves relaxed.
It turned out to be just a plaything to try out~
Zhao Mingrui sneered, then turned his head to continue his plan to boil frogs in warm water to chase his cousin.
After three years, when he heard Gu Chen take Du Yan back to the villa in the United States, he felt bad directly!
Leaving his studies, Zhao Mingrui returned to China in a hurry despite Zhao's mother's stern warning, and went straight to Gu Chen's villa as soon as he got off the plane, but when he went up to the second floor, he was blocked by Gu Chen and didn't see anyone
Leaning back on the soft single sofa, straightening his slender legs, and crossing his ankles on the small table, Zhao Mingrui looked playfully at this person who was pampered and protected by his cousin.
"Qiao Jin'an?"
Zhao Mingrui stared at Du Yanyi and opened his mouth slowly, using a questioning tone, but the meaning conveyed was very certain.
Du Yan stirred the porridge and swallowed it unhurriedly, before he raised his head and put a smile on Zhao Mingrui's eyes and nodded, "Yes." β
"Didn't you say you're sick?" Zhao Mingrui stared at Du Yanyi's eyes, remembering the information in the information that said that he was slightly autistic, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Aren't you still abroad?" Du Yanyi raised his eyebrows and replied to him.
For this kind of little kid with a sharp edge and a hard thorn, Du Yanyi didn't want to provoke, but Zhao Mingrui's contemptuous tone and eyes were so annoying that he couldn't help but want to choke him.
Zhao Mingrui narrowed his eyes and stared at Du Yan for a while, then suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and just wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Xu Fei, who was carrying food around the stairs, "There is no porridge, you can follow your brother Si Han and them to eat bread." β
Yesterday, I made a fuss, and I forgot to leave someone to make breakfast for the next day, but fortunately, Xu Fei found a lot of bread slices in the kitchen, just enough to make do.
Xu Fei put the slices of bread on the tray with a small plate of butter jam in front of Zhao Mingrui, and poured him another glass of milk.
"Sister Xu Fei, it's too obvious that you like the new and hate the old," Zhao Mingrui smiled at Du Yan's playfulness for a while, leaned on the sofa and looked at the two dry slices of bread in front of him, and prolonged his voice to Xu Fei, "I also want to drink small porridge~"
"I'm going to find your cousin." Xu Fei smiled and slapped him on Xiao Ji's leg, "Put it down, people are eating, you!" β
Zhao Mingrui pursed his mouth, honestly put his legs down and sat up, poked a slice of bread to bite the side of his mouth, and asked casually, "Where did my cousin go?" I didn't come to see him early in the morning. β
"It seems that I went to see some project, and I went out with Assistant Li early in the morning, and I was in a hurry."
"When will I be back?" Zhao Mingrui lifted the slice of bread that he had bitten in, and asked casually while putting it in front of his eyes.
"Afternoon."
Xu Fei spread jam on the slices of bread in his hand and handed it to Du Yanyi, Du Yanyi smiled and waved his hand, so Xu Fei turned his head and put it on Zhao Mingrui's plate again.
Zhao Mingrui didn't know what to think, and he didn't speak again after Xu Fei finished saying Gu Chen's approximate return time.
Halfway through the absent-minded eating, Song Jin and Huo Sihan got up and came out, and Cao Ying followed behind, dragging the half-asleep Qi Xiuwen to reprimand bitterly as he walked.
"Pig, you! It's three poles in the sun, and you're still sleeping! β
Qi Xiuwen rubbed the corners of his yawning eyes and swayed slowly with his steps, "You still use an idiom." β
"That's it!" Cao Cheng shook his head with interest, "Don't you underestimate Lao Tzu!" β
As soon as Cao Ying was praised, he slipped out of his foul mouth and got carried away, and Song Jin glanced back at him unintentionally, and immediately pulled someone who was floating in the clouds back to reality in an instant.
Narrowing his neck and hiding behind Qi Xiuwen, Cao Ying avoided Song Jin's gaze and pouted his head, but at a glance, he saw Zhao Mingrui who was lying on the sofa with slices of bread and biting unhurriedly.
"Yo he! Young Master Zhao! β
Cao Ying jumped out from behind Qi Xiuwen with a loud shout, and then pounced on Zhao Mingrui with his hands dancing.
"Oh, Little Master Cao." Zhao Mingrui quickly moved away with the bread slice, allowing Cao Ying to plunge into the sofa cushion next to him.
"It's not interesting enough, you're still dodging!"
Cao Ying sat up with his head covered and slapped Zhao Mingrui on the shoulder.
"Who dares to pick you up, like a small steel cannonball!" Zhao Mingrui raised an arm to block his attack, and while leaning over, he lifted the slice of bread mercilessly and troughed him.
"You're a cannonball! Master, I'm as light as a swallow! β
"Master Cao, quickly put away your body as light as a swallow, hurry up and eat, last night I was babbling about climbing the mountain, can you still go?"
Qi Xiuwen tied up a piece of bread, took the milk handed over by Xu Fei, thanked him, and interrupted the two without raising his head. Judging from past experience, if you don't interrupt quickly, these two can stay poor until the end of breakfast!
"Whooping and Climbing !!"
Cao Ying jumped up from Zhao Mingrui's side, rushed to Song Jin and sat down, and knocked Song Fei, who was pouring milk diagonally, into Song Fei because of the momentum being too strong.
Hurriedly picking up the milk carton that almost fell to the ground, Xu Fei angrily reached out and slapped Cao Ying on the back, "Is this still as light as a swallow?" The whole wolf descends the mountain! β
"The wolf is also a handsome wolf, hey Sister Fei is angry~"
grabbed two or three pieces of paper, wiped the milk on the table, Cao Ying threw a coquettish look at Xu Fei, Xu Fei glanced at him with a smile and smiled: "Okay, okay, eat quickly!" I'm going to find a rag to clean up. β
After eating breakfast, Cao Ying began to shout to climb the mountain, Song Jin and Huo Sihan drove the car over, waiting for everyone to pack up their equipment and set off.
"Xiao An, are you really not going?" Huo Sihan lit a cigarette and stood in front of the door and took two puffs.
"Well, not going." Du Yanyi said with a smile.
"Okay, you have a good rest at home alone, and I'll take you to my uncle's audition in a few days."
"Okay, thank you."
Everyone sat in the car, Huo Sihan snuffed out the cigarette butt and got into the car, Cao Ying poked his head out of the car window and waved his hand at the excited Du Yan, shouting: "Let's go, Qiao handsome guy take care of the house!" β
"Sit down!"
Song Jin waved his hand to Du Yanyi to start the car, and when he saw Cao Ying still stretching out his head outside the pestle, he couldn't help but reach out and slap him on the head, Cao Ying got into the car without care, and excitedly raised his arms and shouted, "GOGOGO!" Let's go!! β
As soon as Du Yan stood at the door and waved goodbye to everyone, when the car drove to the outer wall of the guild, he was about to lose sight, Du Yan saw Zhao Mingrui, who was sitting in the back seat talking to Qi Xiuwen, and unintentionally turned his head and glanced here.
Shaking off the cold feeling of being stared at by poisonous snakes, Du Yan wiped his arm and went back to the house.
The guild usually has domestic servants who clean and cook, because it was Young Master Cao's birthday yesterday, so he gave him a few days off, and he will come back at noon.
Du Yanyi, who was unfamiliar with the place, didn't want to run around, so he turned around and went upstairs after closing the door of the guild hall.
The sun shined through the flowers and vines on the small balcony, Du Yanyi pulled a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it slowly, and Du Yanyi, who looked at a series of large and small numbers, couldn't stop fighting with his eyelids, and finally couldn't help but spread the book and fell asleep on the bed.
When the maid aunt came up and knocked on the door, Du Yanyi was still sleeping soundly, and when he heard the knocking sound at the door one after another, Du Yanyi slowly woke up from the dream, rubbed his eyes, and Du Yanyi walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob to open it before he remembered that he was alone at home, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Before his cold sweat fell, the voice of the maid aunt outside the door came in along with the knock on the door.
"Is Mr. Joe here? There's your phone downstairs. β
Phone?
Du Yan breathed a sigh of relief, touched his pocket, turned his head to look at the bed again, and then remembered that his mobile phone was left on the sofa in the hall during dinner in the morning.
"Well, I'll get dressed and come down."
Du Yan answered through the door, and the footsteps of the maid aunt left the door and went downstairs.
Turning around and opening the glass door of the small balcony, Du Yanyi looked down and saw that there were two people downstairs cleaning in gray and white uniforms, so he cleaned up and went downstairs to answer the phone.
"Why is it so long?"
Gu Chen's voice came out of the microphone, and Du Yanyi couldn't help but tighten his throat when he heard it, and quietly slowed down, and then Du Yanyi held the microphone and spoke: "I'm asleep." β
There was a low laugh, and then continued: "I'll ask Assistant Li to pick you up, come over for a meal in a while, and go down the mountain directly in the afternoon." β
"Don't go on?" Du Yan asked.
"Something happened at night."
"Oh." Du Yan responded.
"Pay attention to your phone, Assistant Li will call you when he arrives."
"yes, got it."
Gu Chen told him two more words to hang up the phone, and Du Yan put down the earpiece that was busy and went to find his mobile phone.
took back his mobile phone and went upstairs to take a shower, Du Yanyi sat on the small balcony and teased the little fish fry, while waiting for Assistant Li's call, he didn't bring anything when he came, so there was nothing to clean up at this time.
It didn't take long for a little girl in a gray uniform to knock on the door of Du Yan's room, "Mr. Qiao, is it?" Someone is waiting for you downstairs. β
"yes, okay."
Du Yan followed the little girl downstairs, walked to the door of the hall and looked at the empty door, turned his head to look at the little girl, "Why is there no one?" β
"Maybe it's at the back door, I just called and I forgot to ask carefully." The little girl scratched her head embarrassedly, "Why don't I help you find it?" β
As soon as the little girl's voice fell, a little girl about the same age as her turned around from behind the stairs, holding a rag in her hand and calling her, "Xiaoqin, Sister Chen asked you to go and clean up the first area." β
"Oops! Good! β
The little girl quickly turned her head and responded, and then looked at Du Yan and was a little at a loss.
"It's okay, you go get busy, I'll find it myself."
"Uh-huh, okay!" Hearing Du Yanyi's words, the little girl nodded happily, then turned her head and pointed to the back of the hall, "There is a backyard from the side door here, and you can see the back door when you go out through the backyard!" There's a road down the hill, so the person looking for you should be waiting for you! β
"Okay, thank you." Du Yan smiled and thanked her, and walked in the direction she said.
Going out from the side door of the hall, he arrived at the backyard where the wall full of creepers connected with the open-air staircase, Du Yan glanced at the open-air staircase that led to the second floor, and suddenly there was a throbbing in his heart that he didn't want to admit, his eyes shook, Du Yan hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly walked out of the backyard.
Turning around the courtyard wall, Du Yan saw the back door that the little girl said.
walked two steps briskly, and when he was about to touch the doorknob, a sharp pain hit the back of Du Yanyi's neck, and then with a flower in front of his eyes, Du Yanyi fell into darkness
***
"Isn't there downstairs either?"
"Yes, Xiaoqin said that someone was looking for Mr. Qiao and pointed him to the backyard, but there was no trace of the backyard door being opened."
"Call Huo Sihan and transfer someone to come over to find it, or I'll call him, you can check Xiao An's mobile phone location."
"Yes!"
After ending the call with Assistant Li, Gu Chen immediately dialed Huo Sihan, who already knew what was going on and was speeding up on the way back.
"I've already sent someone over, it's going to be fine, don't worry too much."
"Hmm." Gu Chen pinched his eyebrows, "I'm sorry for you." β
"If there is anything troublesome between you and me, don't worry, it will be fine."
"Hmm."
Hanging up the phone, Gu Chen stood in the glass window of the skyscraper, looking at the clear blue sky outside, and there was silence in his heart.
"Boss Gu, all the investors have arrived, please move to the conference hall."
"Okay."
Gu Chen followed the little secretary through the corridor and stopped in front of the mahogany door with the 'conference hall' plaque.
Pushing open this door and entering, the project he had planned for almost three years would be taken down by raising his hand, but the moment his hand was raised, Gu Chen hesitated
With his hand on the doorknob of the conference hall for a long time, Gu Chen rubbed the corner of his forehead, turned to the little secretary and said, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll go and ask the investors to discuss it by themselves first, and send the meeting minutes to Assistant Li's mailbox when I finish, and let the person in charge here prepare some gifts for everyone to take when I leave, and make another appointment another day." β
"Huh?" The little secretary was slightly surprised for a moment when he saw the boss like this for the first time, and then reacted quickly, "Oh! Good good! β
"Go get busy."
"Yes."
Seeing the little secretary pushing the door in his arms, Gu Chen pinched his mobile phone and turned to leave.
Sitting in the car rushing to the guild, Gu Chen closed his eyes, and his heart was complicated.
He clearly felt that his attention to Du Yanyi exceeded his presupposition, but he couldn't pull out as smoothly as expected.
Crossed the line
Gu Chen closed his eyes and thought to himself.
When the car drove into front of the hall, Li Mingsheng hurriedly greeted him with two people.
"How?" Gu Chen got out of the car and walked quickly to the backyard, and Assistant Li followed him to quickly report the search process.
"The mobile phone was located in the warehouse elevator of an abandoned factory in the back mountain, but as soon as I saw the location, it flashed and disappeared, and Young Master Huo's people were still looking for it."
"Take me there."
"Yes!"
Looking for someone outside turned upside down, but Du Yanyi woke up leisurely at this time.
The dull pain in the back of his neck made Du Yan notice it as soon as he became conscious.
Holding his neck and pressing it, Du Yan sat up on the ground and slowly opened his eyes
ββββSomeone!
The sound of fine breathing was behind him, slow and rapid, such an undisguised style coupled with the pitch-black environment around him that could not be seen made Du Yan break out in a cold sweat the moment he opened his eyes!
Holding his breath, Du Yanyi tried his best to relax and lean against the wall.
The wall behind him was cold, like a confined space made of steel, Du Yanyi reached out and touched it, guessing that it might be an abandoned old elevator.
He didn't know if the other party had noticed that he was awake, and he didn't know if the other party was the one who knocked him unconscious, and he didn't know what the other party wanted to do in this situation
Closing his eyes, Du Yanyi forced himself to calm down quickly, but the fear of darkness in his heart and the worry about unknown events now made him involuntarily speed up his breathing.
"Huh"
A mocking chuckle came from the corner behind him, and before the end of the note could settle, the man began to breathe rapidly, trembling violently, as if on the verge of suffocation!
"What's wrong with you?"
As soon as Du Yan heard that it was Zhao Mingrui's voice, his heartstrings loosened and he wanted to stand up to see him, but as soon as he stood up against the cold iron wall, he felt a strong dizziness in his brain!
"Bang! βββββ
His body was unbalanced and slammed into the wall hard, and Du Yanyi found that his breathing began to be rapid! My chest hurts! The feeling of near-death suffocation is surging!
Du Yan leaned against the cold wall with his whole body, clutching the fabric on his chest and breathing violently!
The person behind him sneered, and then said with a hard breath: "Don't, don't waste your efforts, this place is remote and closed, it hasn't been used for a long time, the air inside can last for three or four hours at most, and we've been in for almost two and a half hours, if you don't want to die"
Du Yan breathed rapidly, the sweat on his body was layer after layer, he tightened his collar, he wanted to sit down first, but his body was out of control and did not listen to the command, and those suppressed memories came like a flood that had opened the valve in the dark
Mommy
Dark rooms, crying children, dry and hard bread
"I'm going to see if it's me or you, you're important! Heh, it's just a little star."
Zhao Mingrui's intermittent words were still lingering in his ears, but Du Yanyi couldn't hear anything, he only knew to tighten his collar and gasp! Then his eyes widened as he watched the young child cry in the darkness clutching the hard bread
Mommy Mommy
There was a sound of talking outside, followed by a cacophony of footsteps, followed by the rumbling of machinery.
"Is this it?" Gu Chen looked at the old and heavy elevator door, and his heart sank.
"Yes." Assistant Li nodded with a solemn face, "Young Master Huo's people went to invite a professional elevator repair team to come over, and they have already gone outside." β
"Tell them to hurry!"
"Yes!"
The darkness in front of him was shaking, and the floor under his feet was shaking, Du Yanyi knew that he should quickly squat down to protect his head, but he couldn't move! It's like being imprisoned in the deep sea and forcibly looking through the memories that you don't want to see, painful but helpless, full of darkness, darkness that you can't break free, and overwhelming darkness
"Boom!! βββββ
The overwhelming darkness in front of him was suddenly dispersed by the sudden light, and as soon as Du Yan looked up, he saw the figure coming against the light.
The painful picture was shattered in an instant like a mirror! Du Yan looked at the figure standing in the light, and stretched out his hand tremblingly
"Gu"
"Xiao An!"
Du Yanyi's figure shook, Gu Chen stepped forward and took him tightly into his arms, breathed a sigh of relief, and soothed him softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid." β
The warm palm behind his back stroked his back, Du Yan's divergent consciousness gradually returned, his chest was still suffocating, and his limbs were sore, but the fear that was still raging in his heart just now disappeared mostly.
Grabbing Gu Chen's clothes, Du Yanyi opened his mouth with difficulty
"Cousin"
There was a faint call from the darkness, and then Du Yan clearly felt that Gu Chen's body stiffened, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Octavia!! ββββ
The moment he fainted in the hands of Assistant Li, Du Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, laughing at himself in his heart, fortunately he didn't say the humiliating words, fortunately
Holding Zhao Mingrui and sending him to the intensive care unit, it wasn't until he was pushed out by the doctors and nurses that Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cousin" was pushed out by a circle of doctors and nurses, and Zhao Mingrui looked at Gu Chen weakly and stretched out his hand.
"Shut up."
Gu Chen glanced at him and ignored his outstretched hand.
"Me"
Zhao Mingrui's face turned pale, and he said a word with difficulty, but was interrupted by the attending doctor who came out with him, "Young Master Zhao, don't worry, go back to the ward to rest first, and slowly recover your voice to speak." You two," the attending doctor looked up and pointed to the two little nurses, "Quickly push Young Master Zhao back to his room to rest." β
"Yes."
The little nurses bent down and were just about to push the rolling bed, when Zhao Mingrui grabbed the door frame of the intensive care unit next to him, and stared at Gu Chen with a pair of stubborn and deep eyes.
"Young Master Zhao"
Zhao Mingrui stared at Gu Chen fiercely, and there was a tendency for Gu Chen not to let go if he didn't speak.
The little nurses looked at Gu Chen in embarrassment.
Gu Chen looked at Zhao Mingrui for a long time, then slowly stepped forward and took his hand holding the door frame and put it into the quilt and said, "Let's go." β
"Yes, yes!"
The resistance was lifted, and the little nurses hurriedly pushed Zhao Mingrui to the ward.
"Cousin~" When the hospital bed walked past Gu Chen, Zhao Mingrui grabbed Gu Chen's cuffs and looked at him pitifully.
Gu Chen glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I still have something to ask you." β
Zhao Mingrui's heart trembled, and the hand holding Gu Chen's cuff couldn't help but let go.
Back in the ward, when the two little nurses went out, Zhao Mingrui lay on the bed and looked at Gu Chen cautiously, his eyes full of grievances.
"I just wanted to play a joke with him, but I didn't expect to be able to get out"
Gu Chen looked at him and didn't speak, Zhao Mingrui's heart sank, and his eyes became more and more pitiful, "You also know that I usually don't dare to go to that kind of place, since that time, I"
Zhao Mingrui lowered his head, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, and his eyes trembled slightly.
The suppressed anger in his heart quickly deflated like a popped balloon, Gu Chen sighed, stepped forward and touched his hair, "I told my sister-in-law that you lived with me for the past two days, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and you will never be so nonsense in the future." β
Zhao Mingrui nodded, rarely obedient.
As soon as he mentioned the original incident, Gu Chen couldn't help him, even though he knew that this matter was not as simple as Zhao Mingrui said, but looking at such a little cousin who was pale and weak lying on the hospital bed, Gu Chen still had no way to scold him at this time.
"You rest first, I'll go out."
Gu Chen pulled out his cuffs from Zhao Mingrui's hand and was about to turn his head to leave, but at the moment he turned around, he was pulled by Zhao Mingrui again!
"Cousin~"
Grabbed Gu Chen's sleeve, Zhao Mingrui looked at him pitifully with a pair of eyes, "I'm afraid"
Gu Chen looked at him silently for a long time, pinched his wrist with his backhand and put it back in the quilt, pulled a chair from the side and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Okay, go to sleep, I'm here to watch you." β
Zhao Mingrui finally got a softening of his cousin's attitude, and he didn't want to sleep in his heart, but he had no choice but to toss for so long today, afraid that he would miss Gu Chen when he took oxygen out of the intensive care unit, and he didn't even blink his eyes during the whole process! At this moment, he was pushed back to a quiet and comfortable ward, and suddenly a sense of sleepiness hit.
"Don't go."
After getting Gu Chen's promise, Zhao Mingrui told him again with peace of mind, and then let himself slowly fall into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Zhao Mingrui's breathing was long and even, Gu Chen got up from his bedside, opened the door and went out.
There were two people guarding the door, Gu Chen told them a few words, and then turned around and went up to the second floor.
"How's Ann?"
Looking at Assistant Li standing in front of the door of the ward, Gu Chen looked inside through the glass and asked.
"There is nothing wrong with the body, but the lack of oxygen is strict, and it is much better now, but the doctor said that Mr. Qiao's mental state is not right."
Isn't in the right mental state?
Gu Chen's eyes sank.
"Did they call Si Han to report that they were safe?"
"Hmm." Assistant Li nodded.
"Alright, then you can go back and rest first."
"Yes." Assistant Li nodded yes.
After sending Assistant Li away, Gu Chen pushed Du Yanyi's ward door.
The spacious and bright single room didn't look like a ward at all, Gu Chen walked past the sofa in the room and stood in front of Du Yan's bed and leaned over to look at him.
The man's always fair cheeks became extremely pale at the moment, and his long eyelashes cast a gray silhouette on his eyelids, Gu Chen touched his thin shoulders through the quilt, and suddenly felt that the empty part of his heart that had begun to fall from knowing that something had happened to him had finally been filled.
After such a toss, the sky outside was already dark.
After looking at the time, Gu Chen rinsed down in the bathroom of this senior ward, asked the nurse for a slightly larger hospital gown, and lay down next to Du Yanyi in pajamas.
The lights in the room were extinguished, and the smell of disinfectant became clearer.
Gu Chen pulled Du Yanyi into his arms sideways, helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, and then slowly closed his eyes.
The body in his arms stiffened instantly, and then slowly relaxed, although Du Yanyi had tried his best to keep his breathing steady, but a trace of panic in his breathing still made Gu Chen notice.
Sighing helplessly, Gu Chen turned around and encircled him in his arms, and stroked him behind his back.
"It's okay, go to sleep."
Du Yanyi closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth to hypnotize himself, and he was already asleep.
Sensing that the body in his arms not only did not relax, but also became more and more stiff, Gu Chen touched his hair helplessly, looked at the window that revealed a trace of cool moonlight, paused, and said softly: "I was brought up by my aunt since I was a child, and my sister-in-law is such a son, he is young, and his family is very spoiled, so it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant and willful, but"
Gu Chen still wanted to say something for Zhao Mingrui, but thinking of his attitude and behavior towards Du Yanyi from beginning to end, what seemed to him to be very ordinary, he couldn't say anything to Du Yanyi.
The person in his arms was still motionless, but his breathing was noticeably lighter and more cautious.
Gu Chen stopped caressing behind his back, grabbed the hand he clenched into a fist and put it on his chest and squeezed it gently, thinking about the original thing in the dark, lowering his eyelids and saying slowly.
"Octavia was naughty when he was a child, when he went to the playground, he secretly ran to the Ferris wheel to play while his sister-in-law was not paying attention, and then I didn't see him come out when the playground was closed, everyone looked for him all night, and the next day I found him in the small box of the Ferris wheel at the top, a small child, curled up in that kind of place for a night, and then fell ill"
