29. Chapter XXIX
As soon as Fen Qiao fell ill, the whole apartment was brightly lit all night, and the servants did not dare to sleep, and waited in the living room one after another.
Wang Yiyang and the nurses he brought with him were busy until two o'clock in the evening, when Fenqiao's fever began to gradually recede.
Gu Yan instructed Zhang Yi to take the two to the guest room to rest, and stayed alone in front of Fen Qiao's bed.
There was only a dim lamp in the room, and Fen Qiao began to sweat, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Fen Qiao's brows furrowed tightly, and he moved uncomfortably. Unconsciously whispered to his father.
A qiΔ overlaps with the scene when he was in Diancheng Hospital.
Gu Yan couldn't bear it, reached out and pulled the sweaty hair on Fenqiao's forehead behind her ears, and changed a wet towel to help her dry the sweat on her forehead.
Before he could reach back his hand, he was grabbed by Fen Qiao.
Fen Qiao opened his eyes at some point, looked at him in a daze, and before Gu Yan could react, his eyes closed again and fell asleep.
Gu Yan was holding a towel in his hand, the strength of being held was actually not heavy, as long as he struggled slightly, he could make Fen Qiao let go and put the towel back in the basin.
Just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard Fen Qiao whisper: "Gu Yan......"
The voice was low, soft, and nasal, and if it weren't for the familiarity, I probably wouldn't understand what she was calling.
It is a unique tone of Diancheng dialect, the tongue is rolled, the pronunciation is not very clear, but it seems to have been lingering between the lips and teeth, soft, and people's hearts are soft when they hear it.
Gu Yan finally only changed the towel into the other hand and sat down slowly on the edge of the bed.
Many times, he couldn't explain why he was so good to Fen Qiao, as if he had used all the patience and gentleness in his life.
When he first met Fen Qiao, he obviously didn't have the slightest idea of adoption.
Maybe it's because the more complex the mind, the more people yearn for pure things?
Fen Qiao's mind is as transparent as her eyes, her world is black and white, and her likes or dislikes are so direct.
She is sensitive and fragile, like beautiful and delicate porcelain. However, this world is extremely cruel, if it loses the careful care of people, even the most precious porcelain can only be broken and fallen into the dust.
That was the last thing Gu Yan wanted to see.
β¦β¦
Fen Qiao dreamed of his father.
In that pouring rain, at the funeral home, she knelt in front of her father and cried, she felt that the whole world had collapsed, and her father began to fall, Fen Qiao reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch anything.
"Daddy!" Fen Qiao cried and screamed, "Dad, I beg you, don't go!" β
"I miss you so much... Dad ......" She cried so much that she couldn't breathe, but she didn't dare to stop, afraid that as soon as she stopped, Dad wouldn't be able to hear, and then left her and left alone.
All the misfortunes in her life began with the unexpected death of her father.
"Mom, you help Daddy! Dad fell down......" Fen Qiao turned back in a panic, but saw Gao Ling's expression indifferent, and his lips closed one by one to tell her: "I can't help your father, I'm getting married." β
"No, I'm not allowed, you're my mother! You are not allowed to get married......" Fen Qiao hugged her waist with all her might, "Please, Mom, please don't get married......" Gao Ling pushed her away and walked forward indifferently.
Fen Qiao collapsed and lay on the ground to watch her go farther and farther, step by step, never looking back.
The door was slammed shut.
Fen Qiao's room went completely dark.
β¦β¦
"Fenqiao ......"
Fen Qiao heard someone calling her.
"Fen Qiao, give me your hand."
Gu Yan ...... Gu Yan! Fen Qiao fumbled in the darkness with her hands, and finally, she clenched them.
The hand was very big, and the palm was dry and warm, which made Fen Qiao's heart settle slowly, "Gu Yan ......"
The light came in from there, and Fen Qiao felt a little dazzling, but he was reluctant to withdraw his hand to block the sun.
In the early morning sunlight, Fenqiao's eyelashes trembled lightly and slowly opened.
Her hand was tightly clasped with the other hand, and the big hand belonged to Gu Yan.
He leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep.
Fen Qiao turned his head and looked intently at his sleeping side face, reluctant to take his eyes away, only feeling that his heart would settle down in this way, and he would not have to be afraid of losing it, and he would have a sense of security.
Fen Qiao hadn't looked at Gu Yan so quietly before, and she couldn't help but lean her head a little closer.
The deep double eyelid creases are beautiful, the eyelashes are long, and the nose is straight. Deep, perfect.
Fen Qiao stretched out his other hand to trace the outline of his face, as if this would make his appearance deeply rooted in his heart.
"Gu Yan......" Fen Qiao couldn't help but call softly.
Gu Yan frowned, his index finger moved slightly, there were signs of sobering up, Fen Qiao hurriedly withdrew the outstretched hand, only the other one was left, holding Gu Yan tightly.
In the next second, Gu Yan really opened his eyes, and his eyes were dazed for a moment when he had just woken up, but it was only an instant, and his eyes immediately returned to clarity.
"Still uncomfortable?" Gu Yan said, reaching out and sticking it to Fen Qiao's forehead.
The touch of the hand on the forehead is cool and comfortable.
Fen Qiao shook his head, his eyes unblinked, and he watched Gu Yan's movements intently.
"It doesn't seem to be that hot."
Gu Yan withdrew his hand and measured it again with the electronic thermometer at the head of the bed, "Thirty-seven and a half degrees," his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his expression was cold, "There is still a low-grade fever." β
As he spoke, he got up and went out, but he didn't expect Fen Qiao to hold his hand tightly and not let go.
"Fen Qiao, I'm just going to call a doctor for you."
Fen Qiao was silent, struggling to get up and go with him.
"Fen Qiao!" Gu Yan frowned.
Fen Qiao lowered his head and stubbornly insisted.
"Fen Qiao......" Gu Yan squatted down to persuade her, but when she squatted down, she found that Fen Qiao's eyes were already a ocean.
Fen Qiao has never forgotten that on the morning of her father's abduction, she also clamored to go out with her father, but her father just coaxed her casually, and she stayed at home obediently.
In the end, she didn't wait for her father to come home, but only had time to see her father's body in a hurry at the funeral home.
That was the most regrettable thing in Fenqiao's life for more than ten years, but no matter how painful and regretful she was, it would never be unrecoverable.
She didn't want to let go of Gu Yan's hand like this, what if as soon as she let go, Gu Yan would be in danger?
Fen Qiao knew that her thoughts were naΓ―ve, but only by holding it tightly like this did she have a real sense of security.
Gu Yan sighed helplessly and withdrew his hand from Fen Qiao's hand.
Seeing that Fen Qiao's tears were about to fall out, he spoke first: "If I cry, I'll really leave." β
Fen Qiao's tears swirled in his eyes, but he couldn't hold back.
Gu Yan stroked Fen Qiao's soft hair, and his voice was gentle, "Good, wash up first, I will give you leave from school, and I will hold you wherever I go before I get well." β
Fen Qiao wiped away his tears, reluctantly let go, and got up from the bed to wash.
Coming down from upstairs, Gu Yan had already taken a shower and changed into formal clothes, and he was still meticulous to the last button.
The hair is neatly combed to the back of the head, revealing a full heavenly court, with a straight nose and thin lips, extremely handsome, but the expression is always cold, and the contradictory appearance and temperament form a fatal attraction.
He sat quietly at the dining table reading the newspaper and waited for Fenqiao to eat breakfast.
Fen Qiao finished his breakfast seriously and took the medicine obediently, for fear that Gu Yan would change his mind.
After Wang Yiyang checked Fen Qiao's body again, and after making sure that there was no major problem, he left the medicine and left the apartment with the little nurse.
After taking medicine and having some strength, Fen Qiao became Gu Yan's little tail.
When Gu Yan walked there, Fen Qiao followed, holding Gu Yan tightly and not letting go.
β¦β¦
At half past seven, Gu Yan took Fen Qiao to the hospital on time.
The top floor of the hospital was heavily guarded, and Fen Qiao followed Gu Yan all the way to the intensive care unit unimpeded.
Old Man Gu was in a coma, and there was no sign of waking up at all. Gu Yan waited in front of the hospital bed for half an hour, and then took Fen Qiao from the hospital to the company.
Fen Qiao still has a low-grade fever, and his body is not comfortable, but his spirit is much better than before.
Fen Qiao has never been to the Gu family's company, and the Gu Group's headquarters is a skyscraper twin towers rising from the center of the imperial capital, a landmark building that has been completed for many years.
Fenqiao has seen many movies with it in the past, all of which are shocking and beautiful, even though it has been built for a long time, it is still indestructible.
Fen Qiao has also seen its introduction in the imperial capital's travel guide, and the author of the article describes the twin towers in the center of the imperial capital in a dreamy tone full of yearning - he said that Gu's twin towers are the best choice to overlook the imperial capital, and the lights are bright at night, standing on the top floor of the twin buildings, you will feel that you are standing in the center of the world.
Fen Qiao doesn't remember seeing a report on TV that Gu Shi is the first in the centripetal force of employees among Chinese companies, far ahead of any company.
At the moment when he stood in front of the Twin Towers, Fen Qiao felt that what the report said might be right, and the passion that couldn't help but swell in his heart when he stood in front of the buildings couldn't be faked. Not to mention the employees who are part of the Gu family.
There is Gu Yan's exclusive garage underground, and Fen Qiao followed Gu Yan like this, taking the elevator all the way to the top floor of the Twin Towers.
Gu Yan's daily life is busy and compact, and his work seems to be unable to stop for a moment.
Even if there is a huge team of secretaries helping to screen and deal with it, there are too many things that need to go through Gu Yan's instructions.
All morning, Fen Qiao sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the panoramic view of the imperial capital outside the window for a while, and then looked back at Gu Yan's serious expression on the desk for a while.
Liang Tezhu soaked Fen Qiao's medicine, and prepared a small plate of fruits and snacks and put them on the table next to Fen Qiao.
"Are you bored here?" Liang Tezhu saw that Fen Qiao had nothing to do, for fear that she would feel bored.
In fact, Fen Qiao didn't feel bored at all, as long as he was by Gu Yan's side, that feeling of stability was irreplaceable by anything.
ALTHOUGH SHE SHOOK HER HEAD, LIANG TEZHU STILL TOOK AN IPAD TO PASS THE TIME FOR FENQIAO.
"I think young people nowadays like to brush Weibo and Moments, doesn't Miss Fenqiao like to play?" Liang Tezhu asked casually.
Fen Qiao's fever was so high because he found out too late, and he wanted to make up for Fen Qiao.
Fen Qiao was silent. She doesn't have a few friends in total, so what is there to brush?
When he was silent, Liang Tezhu had already downloaded the Weibo APP with great interest and helped Fenqiao register a new account.
The registered avatar is still a cute Samoyed, Fen Qiao saw that the Samoyed was a little similar to the jelly of the old couple's house downstairs in the apartment, Fen Qiao liked it, and took the IPAD.
