209- Ah Sheng is married
Zou Yu walked in at this time, and was slightly shocked when he saw Gu Chen's posture at this time, but because he understood the past between the two, he quickly regained his calm and reminded: "Mr. Gu, the matter has been dealt with." ”
Gu Chen nodded:
"Okay, I'll be back at the hotel in 10 minutes."
"Yes."
Zou Yu retreated again, Gu Chen maintained his original posture, took out the shoes from the bag, and put them in front of her, when Nan Sheng wanted to put them on himself, but was stopped by Gu Chen:
"Don't move."
Nan Sheng obediently stopped moving, but he didn't want him to take out a handkerchief at the next moment, hold her dirty feet again, and gently wipe it for her, she was still frightened, and subconsciously wanted to take it back, but he seemed to have expected such a situation, and the strength was heavier, and it was not as she wanted.
She was at a loss, so she could only shout weakly:
"Achen......
He naturally heard her plea for mercy, but in exchange for his soft smile:
"Obedient. It may hurt a little if you don't wipe off your shoes if you get something on your feet. ”
She has never had the ability to resist the soft-spoken word 'obedient', not five years ago, and still not five years later. She is like an ignorant child, who can only obediently obey him.
Her feet, almost no longer visible the original skin color, there are some wounds of different sizes on the soles of her feet, Gu Chen's eyes paused slightly when they touched those wounds, and then helped her to remove the dirt more carefully, even though this was not the first time he had done this to himself, but Nan Sheng still blushed, especially when he was so wolf, which added to the embarrassment.
It's just that Gu Chen's serious appearance made Nan Sheng's heart quickly regain its calmness.
It was the man she was familiar with, just as he had been at the beginning.
After wiping her feet, he still didn't agree with her walking in shoes, and patiently explained to her: "You have injuries on your feet, don't walk yet." ”
Nan Sheng lowered his eyes:
"I don't hurt."
Gu Chen looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "I hurt." ”
Nan Sheng's heart seems to have been poured into a hot spring, but after the warmth, only sour remains.
He found the comb, stood up from in front of her, and stroked her hair:
"I'll give you a haircut."
Nan Sheng didn't nod, but he didn't refuse, let him pick up his messy hair, carefully straighten it out, and put it down...... Nan Sheng couldn't see her appearance, but she also knew what she had become, but her messy hair didn't feel a trace of pain until she was estranged, which was really embarrassing for him.
Gu Chen took out the clothes and handed them to her:
"Change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside."
"Okay."
"Don't put your shoes on, I'll come in and hug you later."
"I can do it myself."
Gu Chen rubbed the top of her hair with a smile, and was spoiled:
"Obedient."
Gu Chen, who walked out of the detention room, leaned against the wall, and suddenly felt that the strength of his whole body could not support his body, and he did not want to show any bad feelings in front of Nan Sheng, so the moment he turned around, the endless bitterness almost forced out his tears. There was an indescribable pain that roared wantonly in Gu Chen's heart, as if it was about to escape to every corner of his body.
He remembered that he saw her for the first time five years ago, smart and simple, with the unique aura of that age, even if the subsequent changes made her habitually hide herself, but she was still a woman as warm as ever.
But now?
In front of these five years, she was destroyed all the beauty.
Nan Sheng was not too obedient, in front of Gu Chen, her occasional little rebellion has always been zài, after changing clothes, she didn't wait for Gu Chen to come in, she put on her shoes to look for him, the moment the door opened, she saw Gu Chen turn around in a panic, Nan Sheng felt that she understood what he wanted to hide.
There was a momentary blankness in her thoughts, and she froze in place, not knowing what she should do or say at this point.
This tangled affection didn't last long, Gu Chen adjusted his state as quickly as possible, returned to her side, looked at her, and looked at her with displeasure:
"Didn't you wait for me?"
The expression is normal, the tone is normal, and the dampness in the corners of the eyes that I just vaguely saw seems to be just a hallucination.
Nan Sheng smiled:
"I'm fine."
There was indeed a wound on his foot, but he didn't feel pain, because it was insignificant compared to what he had in his heart.
Gu Chen didn't say anything more, he bent down and hugged her horizontally, Nan Sheng subconsciously reached out and wrapped his hand around his shoulder, causing Gu Chen to smile softly:
"Very well-behaved."
Nan Sheng lowered his eyes and made no sound.
The car was driving smoothly on the road, probably because she hadn't rested well for too long, Nan Sheng looked drowsy, Gu Chen noticed it, and held her hand:
"Bear with me, the hotel is almost here, eat something and then sleep, now talk to me?" The tone was faintly inquiring, as if as long as Nan Sheng opened his mouth to say 'no', he would give up his insistence and let her sleep peacefully.
Nan Sheng barely opened his eyes, and the whole person was not energetic, but he still looked at him with a smile:
"How have you been doing all these years?"
Gu Chen's gaze stayed on Nan Sheng's face for a long time, and finally said what was in his heart:
"Not good."
Because I miss it, but also because I regret it.
The smile on Nan Sheng's face faded little by little, looking at Gu Chen's eyes with pity and helplessness.
"What about you? How are you doing? ”
Nan Sheng regained the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and smiled lightly:
"I don't know."
She can't remember much anymore, but looking at her appearance at the moment, it shouldn't be good, right? But she couldn't say anything 'bad' to Gu Chen, for fear that he would worry.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Nan Sheng was still asleep, the doorman opened the car door and was about to politely say 'welcome', but was stopped by Gu Chen, the doorman glanced at the woman in his arms, his heart was clear, he smiled slightly, and took a step back.
Gu Chen cautiously carried Nan Sheng out, ignoring the inquiring gazes of others, and under the guidance of Zou Yu, he went all the way to the floor where he was.
Gently placed Nan Sheng on the big bed in the bedroom, and carefully covered her with a quilt, looking at her sleeping face, the depression in Gu Chen's heart has not been relieved. He hadn't forgotten her current mental condition.
Now she looks no different from a normal person, but Gu Chen knows that this qiē is just an appearance, if she is normal, how can she appear in the police station? And how can you fight with others? How could he not even have much fluctuation in his feelings when he saw himself?
After the calm appearance faded, Gu Chen didn't know what was waiting for him.
Walking out of the bedroom, only to find that Zou Yu was still there, Gu Chen looked back at Nan Sheng, who was sleeping peacefully, and said to Zou Yu:
"Get a doctor and contact a psychiatrist."
Zou Yu was slightly stunned, and replied after a while:
"Okay."
The doorbell rang suddenly, breaking Gu Chen's distant thoughts, Zou Yu glanced at Gu Chen and turned around to open the door, but unexpectedly the door opened to Nan Xiuyuan, who had not seen him for five years, with a suit and leather shoes, much more mature and stable than back then. When Gu Chen touched Nan Xiuyuan's face, there was no surprise on his face, and his gaze moved lightly to Zou Yu:
"Go ahead and do it."
Zou Yu left.
Two people, one inside the door and one outside, were relatively silent.
"Where's Ah Sheng?" Nan Xiuyuan was the first to break the silence.
"Sleep."
Nan Xiuyuan nodded: "I want to talk to you." ”
Gu Chen didn't think there was anything strange about why he found himself in less than half an hour after he checked into the hotel, but he was afraid that he already had all his information when he arrived in Chicago, or that Nan Sheng's situation was originally revealed to him by the police at his behalf.
Gu Chen didn't want to disturb Nan Sheng's rest, but he didn't feel at ease to leave her alone in the room, so he could only let the door open and let Nan Xiuyuan come in, Nan Xiuyuan stood in the living room, looking at Nan Sheng who was sleeping peacefully in the bedroom, a soft smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Gu Chen walked over, closed the bedroom door, pointed to the sofa in the living room when he turned around, and said indifferently:
"Go sit down."
Five years ago, they had a face-to-face conversation in T City, talking about Ah Sheng, and five years later, they met in Chicago and sat opposite each other again, and the topic was still about Ah Sheng.
It seems that there is no common topic between them except for Ah Sheng.
Gu Chen felt the dullness in the air, he didn't like such an atmosphere, so he picked up the cigarette on the low table and wanted to light it, but because he thought of something, he put it down, Nan Xiuyuan looked at his movements, chuckled and said:
"Don't worry too much, you probably didn't know that Ah Sheng also smokes now."
Gu Chen looked up at him suddenly, and the shock in his eyes was so clear that Nan Xiuyuan, who had never seen him in such a state, smiled, and he asked:
"What? Surprised? ”
It's really unexpected, and it can't be unexpected, Nan Sheng can't smell the smell of smoke, but at the beginning of knowing himself, he didn't make such a request to himself, and then the first night they were together, she said that she hoped she would quit smoking, and since then, Gu Chen has only smoked once.
When did he regain the habit of smoking, Gu Chen couldn't remember it anymore, in short, after Nan Sheng left, he searched all the corners he could find at that time, but he couldn't find her shadow, and naively did something she didn't like, thinking that this would make her lose her temper with a straight face again.
But he forgot that he couldn't see Nan Sheng who left his side.
Gu Chen didn't light the cigarette after all, threw it on the low table in front of him, and said:
"I'm going to take her back home."
He said 'I want', not 'I want to'. Therefore, Gu Chen's words were just informing Nan Xiuyuan of his decision, not asking for his consent.
Gu Chen insisted on taking Ah Sheng back to China, but Nan Xiuyuan did not express his position.
The living room was very quiet, and the two men who had achieved great achievements in their respective fields seemed to have lost the ability to speak at this moment.
Nan Xiuyuan had just finished a ten-hour operation, and at this time it could almost be said that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he needed to rest, but he still couldn't put it down, and rushed over at the expense of his rest time.
On the surface, Gu Chen did not speak sharply and stubbornly, but he sat quietly on the sofa, seemingly careless, but revealing an inexplicable chill. He spoke his words, and then the old monk sat there calmly, tepidly waiting for Nan Xiuyuan's counterattack.
In this psychological warfare, Nan Xiuyuan intended to compete with him in silence, but he remembered that this was not his original intention.
Nan Xiuyuan stared at Gu Chen for a long time, as if he wanted to see him through, but his tone was very light:
"Don't you want to know what Ah Sheng has experienced in the past five years?"
"Didn't you just want me to come to Chicago with good intentions?"
Nan Xiuyuan shook his head, his tone was cold and hard:
"If I could, I hope Ah Sheng would never have anything to do with you again in this life, but although I am a doctor, I can't cure her."
Gu Chen was silent and did not speak.
"She's not sober now, she depends on you, she sees you as the most important person in her life, even my brother can ignore it completely, but once she is sober, how do you think she will think of you?" Nan Xiuyuan looked at the closed door, and there was a lot of helplessness in his eyes: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, let her live like this, for her, this may not be a blessing, it's better than remembering those skin injuries, but she is only 26 years old, and her life is just beginning, how can I be selfish and make this decision for her?" ”
"What did the doctor say?"
"Perennial depression in the heart, leading to memory confusion and mental disorders."
Nan Xiuyuan's bland words sparked a surge of remorse in Gu Chen's heart, but at this moment, he couldn't do anything, he could only clench his fists hard and use all his strength.
Nan Xiuyuan looked at Gu Chen like this, and suddenly became very curious about a question:
"Have you ever regretted it in the past five years?"
Gu Chen raised his eyes to look at him, but there was no sound.
Nan Xiuyuan smiled bitterly:
"This question seems redundant, you can come is already the best answer, Ah Sheng is the same as you, she also regrets it, regrets knowing you."
Nan Xiuyuan didn't tell what happened in the five years that Nan Sheng left him, and Gu Chen didn't ask again, faintly feeling that it wasn't just the things of the year that caused her to be in such a state now, but he didn't have the courage to bear it at this time, so he gave up.
"There's one more thing I think it's better to sue you."
Gu Chen looked at him and didn't speak, waiting for his next step, but he couldn't believe that he would wait for a surprise news anyway, he said:
"Ah Sheng is married."
At that moment, Gu Chen's gaze was extremely cautious, looking like a pool of clear water, but it revealed a ruthless cold light.
Nan Xiuyuan watched the anger between Gu Chen's eyebrows getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't feel anything, but smiled faintly: "Even so, do you still want to take her back to China?" ”
"Who?" Gu Chen clenched his fists and burst out a word fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow Nan Xiuyuansheng into his stomach.
"Does it matter who it is? The important thing is the result, you did so many things to hurt her back then, and she doesn't seem to have a reason to stay with you for the rest of her life. ”R1154
