The suit on Gu Zhen's body has long been colorless, and his whole face is also very haggard, with bloodshot eyes, green stubble on his chin, and messy hair.

Simply, Ji Qiyue is not much better than him, and even there are blood stains left by the rescue just now on her clothes.

Two people who are also wolf bèi hugged each other like this, as if the qiē around them had been still.

Ji Qiyue was firmly held in his arms by Gu Zhenjie, and his head was pressed tightly on his solid chest, which could be said to be hard.

His ears were hot, and what kept burrowing into his cochlea was the sound of his steady heartbeat.

Ji Qiyue thought, that was the most beautiful voice she had ever heard.

Suddenly, I remembered a lyric: I can hear your heart beating, the most important thing.

"You, why are you here?"

"I'm worried about you." After Gu Zhen finished speaking, he grabbed her arm and pulled her out of his arms, and began to look her up and down carefully.

When he saw the blood stains on her body, his phoenix eyes contracted suddenly, and his voice trembled with irrepressible: "Injured? ”

"Nope!" Ji Qiyue hurriedly shook his head, "It's not my blood." ”

Gu Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing, her fingers rubbing against her clothes, as if she was sure of something.

"I'm not hurt." Ji Qiyue held his fingers and paused word by word.

Gu Zhen nodded, staring at her dirty little face, and her voice was hoarse and rough: "Xiao Qi, I want to kiss you, is it okay?" ”

Here, the sudden request made Ji Qiyue stunned.

Before she could react, she had already leaned over and kissed her fiercely.

Priing open her teeth, he conquered the city.

This kiss is pure without any trace of affection/desire.

He just wanted to feel real, to be sure she was there.

The two kissed inseparably, and after a long time, it wasn't until Ji Qiyue's lips were slightly red and swollen and her breathing was not smooth that Gu Zhen let go of her.

Having taken her into his arms once more, he held her as if he were holding the whole world.

Xiaolan and Fang Yong had already looked stupid.

After a long time, the two of them understood that this should be Ji Qiyue's boyfriend.

If you can find a boyfriend here, you must be in love with Ji July.

Xiaolan was a little envious, looking at Ji Qiyue and Gu Zhen's eyes with tears, and suddenly, someone held her hand.

Turning her head, she smiled at Shang Yong's eyes.

This sudden disaster may bring them suffering, but it also has a real emotional gain.

Holding Fang Yong's hand tightly, Xiaolan whispered, "Go back to Xuancheng, you invite me to dinner." ”

Fang Yong was stunned for a moment, and his smile bloomed, "Okay!" He nodded firmly.

Needless to say, the severity of the disaster in Yongxian County is no longer enough, and the rescue work time is urgent.

Gu Zhen contacted Xuancheng at this time, and he managed to get a car to take Ji Qiyue and them away.

Xiao Lan and Fang Yong were so excited, they had already been homesick.

But at this time, Ji Qiyue said one of his own decisions.

"I'm not leaving, I want to stay and volunteer."

"Xiao Qi, you're crazy!" Xiaolan frowned and held her hand, "There are aftershocks here at any time, it's too dangerous, and besides, we are not medical staff, so we can't help here." ”

"Many of the children here have parents out of town, and they are so pitiful to be alone, they need to be comforted, and I can help carry supplies."

"July." Fang Yong stopped Ji Qiyue and said in a low voice: "I can understand your feelings, but, is it really necessary for you to stay?" None of us are unloving people, but at this time, we still have to take care of ourselves. ”

Although he was selfish, he was understandable.

The car was found by Gu Zhen, if Ji Qiyue didn't leave, he wasn't sure if Gu Zhen would leave, so could he and Xiaolan still leave?

"I've already figured it out." Although Ji Qiyue looks soft, once he decides something, he will not change it lightly.

Her firmness fell in the eyes of the three people, and Gu Zhen, who had been silent, spoke at this time: "If you don't leave, I'll accompany you." ”

"No, you don't." Ji Qiyue was taken aback, she didn't think about asking Gu Zhen to stay.

"Needless to say." After Gu Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yong and Xiaolan, "You two go with the car." ”

"This ......" Fang Yong was stunned and looked at Gu Zhen in disbelief.

He didn't expect that he would let himself and Xiaolan go, even if Ji Qiyue wanted to stay.

"Yes, you two let's go." Ji Qiyue glanced at Gu Zhen and said softly.

Xiao Lan's nose was sour, and she hugged Ji Qiyue and cried.

Ji Qiyue knew that Xiaolan was timid, and she had been frightened a lot in the past few days.

It's not that those who stay are necessarily of noble character, and those who leave are selfish, Xiaolan and Fang Yong helped the ambulance team save many people, they are all kind.

At night, four people huddled in an ambulance tent.

There were only two beds inside, and before Gu Zhen came, Ji Qiyue and Xiaolan squeezed one bed, and Fang Yong slept on the other.

Now that Xiaolan and Fang Yong have determined their relationship, it doesn't matter if they sleep one, and Gu Zhen is naturally one with Ji Qiyue.

Before going to bed, Ji Qiyue found that Gu Zhen didn't take off her shoes, she hesitated, and said softly: "Take off your shoes and sleep, it will be more comfortable." ”

"It's okay." Gu Zhen whispered, "If you mind, I'll sleep on the ground." ”

"No, I'm not ......" Ji Qiyue frowned and bit her lip to look at him.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to take it off, it's that I can't take it off." ”

"What?" Ji Qiyue was stunned when he heard this.

Gu Zhen smiled bitterly: "The shoes and my feet are integrated." He said it lightly, as if he were joking.

Ji Qiyue looked at his feet carefully at this time, his feet seemed to be swollen, and his shoes were a little deformed.

"You, you're here?" She asked, looking at him.

"Hmm." Gu Zhen nodded, and Ji Qiyue's tears immediately fell.

"Little Seven." Called her in a hoarse voice, Gu Zhen reached out and held her fingers, "Why are you crying?" ”

Ji Qiyue shook his head, withdrew his hand and said, "You wait for me." With that, she turned and ran out.

Half an hour later, Ji Qiyue came back with two bottles of mineral water and a tube of ointment and gauze in his hands.

Here, everyone has a bottle of mineral water every day, and she came back with two days of mineral water to clean Gu Zhen's wounds.

Squatting down, she raised her head and said, "It may be a little painful, you bear with it, you can't wear shoes like this all the time." ”

Gu Zhen was silent, staring at her heavily.

Ji Qiyue bit her lip and tried to take off the shoes on Gu Zhen's feet, but she couldn't take them off after trying for a long time.

"Use this." Fang Yong walked over at this time and handed over a Swiss Army knife.

This is his most precious collection, and he has always carried it with him, but where can he care about so much now.

Ji Qiyue took the knife and looked at Gu Zhen, she gritted her teeth and inserted the knife into the sole of Gu Zhen's shoes.

After a long day's effort, the two shoes finally came off.

At that moment, Ji Qiyue couldn't control it anymore, and tears rained down.

Gu Zhen's swollen feet had been completely deformed, and when he took off his socks, the whole piece of skin on his heels was gone, and the soles of his feet were all worn out, how painful it must be.

"You, do you hurt?" Ji Qiyue asked with a whimper.

Gu Zhen frowned, reached out and rubbed her hair, "It doesn't hurt, really, I don't feel it." ”

It must have hurt to the point of numbness.

With a sniff, she cleaned Gu Zhen's feet with mineral water, then applied medicine and wrapped them in gauze.

It's just that his shoes can't be worn anymore.

"You'll leave tomorrow." Standing up, Ji Qiyue said softly.

Gu Zhenjian frowned, and said word by word: "If you don't leave, I'll accompany you." He said the same thing.

"You!" Ji Qiyue glared at him.

Fang Yong brought over a pair of his sneakers at this time.

He was outside at the time of the earthquake, so some of the luggage remained.

Looking at Gu Zhen's feet, Fang Yong said, "If you can't do this, it may become inflamed, and then it will be troublesome." ”

"Did you hear me?" Ji Qiyue roared: "I want you to leave tomorrow!" ”

"If you don't go, I'll accompany you." He looked her in the eye and said again.

Ji Qiyue closed his eyes and said softly, "I'll go, I'll go with you." ”

When Gu Zhen heard this, instead of being happy, he was in a heavy mood.

He knew that Ji Qiyue wanted to stay and help those in need, and if she was forced to leave because of herself, she would definitely regret it.

Squeezed into a bed at night, Ji Qiyue was still a little awkward, the bed was not big, and she had to leave a gap between her and Gu Zhen.

Thinking that she had been sleeping in a tent with Fang Yong for the past few days, even if it was a last resort, Gu Zhen was awkward.

Looking at her like this now, his phoenix eyes were cold, and he directly stretched out his arms and hugged Ji Qiyue into his arms.

"You ......" Ji Qiyue was startled and reached out to push him on the chest.

"The bed is so small, you'll fall down in a while." Gu Zhen said, placing Ji Qiyue on his arm and pillowing his clothes, saving space, which was indeed more comfortable than just now.

snuggled together like this, and the intimacy that had not been seen for a long time made both of them not sleepy.

Although Ji Qiyue's eyes were closed, her ears were bright, listening to Gu Zhen's breathing, she felt her cheeks slowly hot.

"Little Seven."

The soft male voice suddenly shook the eardrums.

"Huh?" She answered.

Gu Zhen stared down at her and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

This was the second time he had asked her if she was doing.

After a long time, Ji Qiyue replied softly: "It's okay." ”

Last time, she said she was doing well, and this time, she said it was okay.

He knew that what she was telling now was the truth.

But he would rather she be doing well, and forgetting that he was doing well.

"I'm sorry." Murmuring in a low voice, he said sorry, apologizing for everything he had hurt her in the past.

Ji Qiyue didn't speak, arched into his arms, and relaxed his body.

The softness in his arms is the piece of softness that is missing in his heart.

The strange insomnia was cured without medicine, and he even slept very soundly.

*

Early the next morning, Gu Zhen opened his eyes, and there were two people sitting next to the bed.

"Yo? Awake? The ruffian's voice rang out.

Gu Zhen was confused for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

"Look! Are we lucky enough to see Gu *oss in such a cute moment? One of them reached out to touch Gu Zhen's cheek, but was ruthlessly slapped away when he was a few millimeters away.

"You're here." Gu Zhen sat up.

"yes, come and see what you look like a wolf." Zheng Yan sneered and looked Gu Zhen up and down, "I said that you are really looking for death, aren't you!" ”

"What are you doing here in this kind of place? Even if you want to do charity, you don't have to work so hard! He Siyang pouted.

Gu Zhen was silent and looked at the two of them coldly.

He Siyang was angry all of a sudden, "What are you staring at!" You're justified! Tell me what you're doing here, a good president! You are crazy! You ......"

"Ahem!" He Siyang's prepared curse was interrupted halfway through by Zheng Yan's low cough.

"Whoa! Here's why. Zheng Yan sneered coldly and bumped He Siyang's shoulder.

He Siyang looked in the direction pointed by Zheng Yan and saw Ji Qiyue standing there crampedly, holding two steamed buns in his hands.

"Uh......" He was suddenly a little embarrassed, scratched his hair and greeted: "Hello, long time no see." ”

"Hello." Ji Qiyue said softly, "You talk, I'll go out first." When the words fell, she turned around to leave, and Gu Zhen immediately opened her mouth to stop her.

"Little Seven."

Quarter July stands.

Zheng Yan and He Siyang glanced at each other, and the latter said, "We brought a doctor over and showed you your feet, they are swollen and no one looks like them." ”

"Really? Is there a doctor? Gu Zhen didn't speak, but Ji Qiyue said in surprise.

Zheng Yan nodded, pulled He Siyang to get up, "Let's go, go and call the doctor in." ”

"Oh, good."

As soon as they left, the atmosphere fell silent.

After a long time, Ji Qiyue remembered that he still had a steamed bun in his hand.

"Are you hungry?" Walking over, she handed the steamed bun to Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen took one and ate it in three or two bites.

Ji Qiyue looked a little stupid, and was stunned to give him the one that was left in his hand.

Gu Zhen shook his head and said in a low voice, "One is enough, you can eat it." ”

"I'm not hungry." Ji Qiyue stuffed the steamed buns to him, and it happened that Zheng Yan and He Siyang came in with the doctor.

She immediately stepped aside and stood, watching the doctor treat Gu Zhen with some nervousness.

……

Xuancheng.

Expo.

After processing the last document in his hand, it was time to get off work.

Gu Yanxi walked out of the Expo building and called Tang Yu.

"Auntie, is there still no news from my brother?"

"Yes, I received a call from Zheng Yan just now, he and He Siyang have found Guoguo, don't worry." Tang Yu's voice sounded excited.

"I was just going to call you to tell you."

"Great! That's great! ”

Gu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more words to Tang Yu, and then hung up the phone.

The hanging heart finally fell at this moment, she got into the car briskly, and was just about to start the car, when the mobile phone suddenly rang.

When I took the phone, it was Wu Xiong's phone.

Puzzled, Gu Yanxi picked up the phone.

"Hey, Uncle Wu?"

"Little Miss." Wu Xiong's voice sounded very low.

Gu Yanxi had a bad premonition.

"Uncle Wu, is there something you called me?"

"Well, it was the old man who asked me to call you, and he wanted to invite you to Liangcheng."

"Old man Bai?" Gu Yanxi was taken aback, but she didn't expect that it was Old Man Bai who wanted to see her.

"Uncle Wu, can I know why?"

Wu Xiong paused before he whispered, "The old man is going soon, little miss, can you come here?" ”

The phone slipped in the palm of her hand, and Gu Yanxi looked ahead in disbelief.

How could it be so sudden?

*

Coming out of Liangcheng Airport, Wu Xiong immediately greeted him.

Hugging Wu Xiong gently, Gu Yanxi whispered, "Uncle Wu, the old man ......"

Wu Xiong shook his head and sighed, leading Gu Yanxi into the car.

"The old man suffered a stroke and was hospitalized the year before last, and his health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. Now it's suddenly not working, you don't know, Yiyang has been staying in front of the bed, and he hasn't closed his eyes for a few days and nights. ”

"I, I don't know."

She didn't know.

She didn't even know it.

Old man Bai was hospitalized, she didn't hear Bai Yiyang say it.

The car was parked downstairs in the hospital, and Gu Yanxi followed Wu Xiong upstairs.

The door of the ward was pushed open, Gu Yanxi walked in, and at a glance saw Bai Yiyang sitting with his back to the door by the bed.

Hearing the voice, Bai Yiyang turned his head and was stunned.

"Xixi ......" stood up, he called her name, his voice hoarse and obscure.

Old Man Bai opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and when he saw Gu Yanxi, he let out a slight voice and called.

Gu Yanxi immediately walked over and bent over to hold Old Man Bai's hand, "Old Man Bai." ”

Old Man Bai blinked, and his fingers moved in Gu Yanxi's palm.

Bai Yiyang looked at Wu Xiong, who came in behind, and asked with his eyes.

Wu Xiong glanced at Old Man Bai, and Bai Yiyang realized that it was actually her grandfather who called her.

Outside the ward.

Two people sit in chairs.

A year, a whole year.

They hadn't met in person, and they hadn't made a single phone call.

Completely lost in touch, but without the slightest strangeness.

"You didn't sue me, Old Man Bai was sick." Gu Yanxi turned her head to look at Bai Yiyang and said in a low voice, a little blamed.

Bai Yiyang didn't speak, just hung his head.

In the past few days, his whole person has been in a state of high mental tension, and he feels that he is about to collapse.

"Are you alright?" Gu Yanxi frowned, reached out and gently touched Bai Yiyang's arm.

Suddenly, Bai Yiyang stretched out his hand and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Gu Yanxi subconsciously struggled, and only heard Bai Yiyang whispering in her ears: "Xixi, don't move, let me hug it, please ......"-
