68. Chapter 68
Gu Qingyan snorted, her eyes still falling on her.
His eyes were bright and clear, like a rainbow falling into his eyes, and flowers of seven colors bloomed. Little did he know that his eyes seemed to light up when he looked at April intently.
Seeing that he didn't speak, April was silent, and then said worriedly: "Xia Bai she just drank wine, and then she had a stomachache, and now she is in the emergency room, I don't know what the situation is." ā
When Gu Qingyan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little silent, and after he paused for a moment, he said lightly: "Xia Bai used to drink too much and went to the hospital. ā
April was a little shocked, and couldn't figure out how Xia Bai could drink so harshly, she opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but the man seemed to know what she was thinking, and said loudly: "A lot of things have happened to her in the past ten years, and when she comes out, you can ask her in person." ā
April nodded stunned, a little confused.
Did Xia Bai drink a lot of alcohol before? So this time it's a recurrence of the old disease?
She found that she had never understood Xia Bai well, and if she knew that Xia Bai was in such a situation, she would definitely supervise her well.
While she was secretly speculating, Gu Qingyan sat beside her silently.
He turned his face sideways and stared at the woman's plain face, her cheekbones were slightly high, the corners of her mouth drooped, and her face had traces of pre-aging.
But why, he felt that the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, as if a discordant factor would become cute in his eyes.
For example-
She doesn't smile often, but when she does, her eyes bend like a bridge.
She habitually lowered her head, and when she lowered her head, her white neck would form a beautiful arc.
When she is nervous, she will subconsciously bite her lip, like a child who has made a mistake.
When she looked at people seriously, those empty eyes would open wide, and the shadow of that person could be clearly reflected in the pupils.
Lo and behold, she was nervous again, her teeth biting her lip and her fingers subconsciously clasping the strap on her hand.
Gu Qingyan slowly withdrew his gaze, but his right hand seemed to be conscious, and spontaneously held the woman's hand on his knee. April was startled, but came back to her senses, and her eyes fell on the man's hand.
As if he didn't realize it, the man made a slight effort in his hand, and little by little he broke the dead fingers that April was clenching.
His hands were cold, his complexion was as white as milk, and the warmth reached her heart through his fingertips.
In April, she realized that her hands were too hard, and her nails had broken her palms, and she felt pain in hindsight.
She lowered her head and, somehow, said sorry.
Gu Qingyan slowly withdrew his hand and did not speak, and the silent silence slowly extended between the two.
After a long time, he asked her with a faint look in his eyes: "How have you been doing this year?" ā
"It's good." April replied with a smile.
The man snorted, and said no more. He had long been arranging in his mind what they were going to say when they met, and he had even expected a lot of poisonous words to sarcastically mock her, but when he really saw it, he didn't know what to say.
Knowing that she was doing well with Li Yu, he was not happy, and he was not happy when he saw her haggard face.
Since he was unhappy left and right, then he didn't want to see Lin April, but when he received her call, what lingered in his heart at that moment turned out to be a feeling of joy.
Lin April, what should he do with her?
They didn't have to wait long, and half an hour later, Xia Bai was pushed out by the doctor.
At this time, Xia Bai's face was pale, but her spirit was a little better, and when she saw Gu Qingyan beside Lin April, she was slightly stunned, and then smiled at them.
The doctor Jian yƬ Xia Bai was hospitalized for a few days, and waited until she was completely recovered before being discharged, Gu Qingyan listened to the doctor's advice and went through the hospitalization procedures for Xia Bai.
Xia Bai was a little tired, and after lying on the hospital bed and chatting with April, he told April that she would sleep for a while. April nodded, covered her with a quilt, and sat at the head of the bed with Xia Bai.
April was a little stunned, in her memory, Xia Bai had never been so weak in bed, she had always been energetic, she was born a luminous body in the crowd, she was simple and happy, like a little sun.
But it turned out that when she didn't know it, Xia Bai was no longer what she remembered.
Lin April turned around and saw Gu Qingyan standing in front of the window, his eyes falling into an unknown distance. She blinked slowly, and the words Xia Bai said when she was drunk suddenly sounded in her mind.
She said that she and Gu Qingyan had long since separated, and she said that she and Gu Qingyan were not a couple at all.
Is it because of this that Xia Bai will be unhappy, and after Gu Qingyan has another woman, he will buy drunk alone despite his gastroenteritis?
Just as she was thinking nonsense, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and Gu Qingyan heard the ringtone, and couldn't help but turn her head and look at her with a deep gaze.
April was afraid of waking Xia Bai up, so he hurriedly picked up the phone and walked out quickly. Seeing this, Gu Qingyan raised her eyes and followed out quietly.
The call was from Li Yu, who said that the company was working overtime and would not come back for dinner tonight. In April, he told him about accompanying his friends in the hospital, and Li Yu cared about a few words on the phone, and at the end, Li Yu suddenly fell silent and said sorry.
April was stunned and didn't ask much, but just gently told him to pay attention to safety on the way back.
After hanging up the phone, April stared at her phone for a while, and she felt a little heavy. This is the fifth time Li Yu has called her and said that she is going to work overtime.
Just as she was stunned, Gu Qingyan's indifferent and slightly sarcastic voice came from behind her.
"Boyfriend?"
April was startled, put away her mobile phone, and subconsciously turned around, only to find that the man was standing very close to her. If she took one more small step, her forehead would be close to his mouth.
She reacted very quickly and took a step back, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face, she lowered her head slightly, and hummed quietly, counting as an answer.
A trace of dark color crossed Gu Qingyan's dark pupils, he pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "He came to urge you to go back?" ā
April shook his head and replied with some hesitation: "He said he was going to work overtime and wouldn't come back for dinner." ā
Gu Qingyan sighed, and then, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a smile with deep meaning.
"You seem to trust your boyfriend."
April didn't know if she was too sensitive, she always felt that he had something to say, and she couldn't help but be a little silent.
Gu Qingyan raised his wrist to look at the time, glanced at April again, and changed the topic: "I'm hungry, let's go out to eat first." ā
April was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to refuse, but when she saw the man's expression waiting for her to nod intently, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Gu Qingyan took her to a halal restaurant, the restaurant was very high-end, the environment was quiet, and there were not many people when they went. Gu Qingyan ordered all meat dishes, looking at the heavily colored meat, April suddenly felt a stomachache.
However, when I ate it, I found that these dishes looked greasy, but the juice was thick and thick, tender but not fat, and it was quite delicious.
Gu Qingyan didn't eat much, he was trying to add vegetables to April's bowl, he found that he liked to pick up vegetables for her, and he was a little satisfied when he saw her cheeks bulging when she ate.
He thought to himself, if she didn't eat any more, she wouldn't be able to look so thin.
However, April also cooperated, and ate the dishes he brought over dry, and waited until she couldn't eat anymore, so he lazily took his hand.
After the meal, Gu Qingyan did not go back to the hospital immediately, but walked April to press the road.
It's almost May, and the temperature is gradually warming up.
April habitually walked slowly and silently followed behind the man. After Gu Qingyan found out, he deliberately slowed down his pace, wanting her to follow, but April didn't seem to notice his intentions, and also slowed down.
She still hasn't changed this bad habit after a year.
Gu Qingyan took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked at her with a solemn expression.
"Are you a turtle, walking so slowly?"
April was silent, and quickly walked a few quick steps to his side. When Gu Qingyan saw it, he spit out the depression in his chest.
However, the two did not finish their walk in the end. At this point in time, it was the peak time to get off work, and although April walked beside him obediently, the flow of people washed them away several times, and in the end, Gu Qingyan had a black face and finally compromised.
When she went back, Gu Qingyan's face was always a little gloomy, her lips were pursed into a line, and she seemed to be a little angry.
April didn't know what he was angry about, and he didn't ask him, and the two returned to the hospital without saying a word.
When she arrived at the ward, Xia Bai had already woken up, and when she saw the two of them coming in, a weak smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "You guys are back." ā
Gu Qingyan snorted, shook the thermos box in his hand, and said lightly: "We went out for dinner, and by the way, I brought you some porridge." ā
Xia Bai let out an exclamation, then looked at him pitifully, and muttered, "I'm starving to death, but I don't have the strength now, you can feed me." ā
Gu Qingyan somehow turned his head sideways and glanced at April, then he turned his head back, raised a gentle smile on his face, and said hello.
Xia Bai caught his small movements at that moment, her eyes were a little gloomy, she tried her best to pretend to be relaxed, and watched Gu Qingyan open the food box in an orderly manner.
April didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and she was afraid that she would disturb them by staying here, so she made an excuse to go out.
Because of April's absence, when Gu Qingyan fed Xia Bai porridge, he was always a little absent-minded, and sprinkled the porridge on the snow-white quilt several times. Xia Bai was good-natured and took it all, and when she finished drinking the porridge, she jokingly said if he had lost his soul.
Gu Qingyan didn't say anything, called the nurse and asked her to get a clean quilt again.
April stayed alone in the toilet for a long time, during which Li Yu called her again and asked her if she was back, after April told the truth, Li Yu was silent for a while, saying that he was off work now and could come to pick her up.
She wanted to say that she could take a taxi home, but Li Yu insisted and didn't worry about her going home alone, so she had to agree. When he returned to the ward, Gu Qingyan was peeling apples for Xia Bai. He lowered his head slightly, his slender fingers firmly holding the fruit knife in his hand, and his movements were casual and natural.
Xia Bai saw that April was back, and pouted and complained, "April, why have you been there for so long?" ā
April smiled and changed the subject: "Xia Bai, do you feel better?" ā
"Hmm." Xia Bai responded, his eyes glancing at Gu Qingyan on the side, intentionally or unintentionally. She noticed that the movements of his hands seemed to have slowed down since April came in.
"By the way, Xia Bai, I'm going back." April said slowly.
Xia Bai was accompanied by Gu Qingyan, so she didn't use a light bulb.
As soon as these words came out, the man's hand movements, who had been silent, paused, he raised his eyes, glanced at April with an uncertain expression, and suddenly said, "Isn't your boyfriend going to work overtime?" "The subtext is that you go back alone too, why go back so early.
April apparently didn't hear anything out of the strings, and patiently explained: "He just called and said he was coming to pick me up. ā
Gu Qingyan was silent, and said with a smile: "It seems that your boyfriend is very good to you." ā
April understood the mockery in his tone, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
Xia Bai on the side noticed the embarrassment between the two, and pretended to be curious and asked her: "April, when did you get a boyfriend, and how are others?" ā
"We were together last year and he was very nice to me." April is low back.
Xia Bai nodded and chatted with April again. During this period, Gu Qingyan always peeled the apple calmly, and he didn't know how long he would peel the apple.
