Outside the operating room, Gu Chen looked at his blood-stained hands, and he didn't move for a long time, like petrification.

But Zou Yu, who was standing on the side, obviously saw that his hands were trembling, and he was uncontrollable, and he probably didn't even notice it.

Zou Yu stood in place and hesitated for a while, approached with a towel, and handed it to him:

"Mr. Gu."

Gu Chen didn't move.

Zou Yu didn't know what Gu Chen's heart was experiencing at this time, but through his movements and looks, Zou Yu probably guessed something, and his heart sank inexplicably, he knew that there were some things that he shouldn't say as a subordinate, but what happened today was also a big shock to him, and he opened his mouth after thinking for a while.

Gu Chen may or may not be listening, until Zou Yu is speechless, he moved slightly, although he only blinked, but it was the only movement in the half hour after Nan Sheng was pushed into the operating room.

Some words are only suitable for saying once, and if you say it, you will lose the mood and courage at that time, and the same is true for Zou Yu, he admitted that the words just now were more emotional, and after saying it, the so-called sensibility melted a little, at this moment he is Zou Yu who was calm and rational before, and the answer is not important whether Gu Chen heard his words just now.

He placed the towel on the seat next to Gu Chen, and just wanted to turn around and leave, but Gu Chen opened his mouth unexpectedly, and his voice was calm:

"What do you mean by that?"

Zou Yu looked at him, and after a few seconds, he spoke:

"Enough is enough."

Gu Chen fell silent again, Zou Yu didn't say anything more, and took another step to deal with the problems left on the construction site.

Gu Chen knew that Zou Yu's words were right, but he seemed to have become accustomed to being surrounded by warmth, so he left and returned to the cold world, he was not sure if he could adapt well, once he became addicted to some things, knowing that some things were good, it was not a simple thing to let go or forget, even if he was as sensible.

Her laughter and her words were like a hammer smashing her brain, so that Gu Chen's calmness and reason at the beginning were all smashed, and there was almost no place for him.

Zou Yu said: "Miss Nan really loves you, if the harm is inevitable, at least choose a tactful way." ”

Gu Chen wanted to laugh very much, laughing at himself, it was he who forced himself into this dilemma, and now he was just reaping the consequences, but the laughter was stuck in his throat, he couldn't make a sound, and his eyes were desolate.

Once, she stretched out her hand to herself with a bright smile: "Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Once, she gave herself most of her only breakfast, and she only drank a few sips of milk.

Once, because of Zou Yu's words, she appeared in her kitchen to prepare three meals a day for herself, regardless of her lap.

Once, she carefully guarded his home during her trip to the United States, albeit only as a temporary residence.

Once, in order to see herself, she got up before six o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for herself.

Once, she was worried about her stomach, and appeared at the SN Group on time at noon every day to deliver lunch, rain or shine.

Once, she had no regard for her own safety.

……

It turned out that in the time they didn't get along, she had done so much for herself, and he already had so many memories to think about, and the corners of Gu Chen's mouth suddenly raised a bleak smile.

That's enough......

Eager footsteps sounded in the corridor, one was calm and powerful, the other was light and eager, Gu Chen looked up, Ji Xi and Yoyo were walking over.

"Uncle Gu, how is Sister Nan? Why was I hospitalized? It was fine when you left me. Before the person walked in front of him, a crisp voice sounded with eagerness, until she stood in front of her, and when Gu Chen wanted to touch her cheeks, he found that his hands were still dripping with blood, and he withdrew his hand:

"It's my uncle who didn't protect her."

Yoyo seemed to want to say something, but Kisai stopped her:

"Yoyo, you go and sit over there for a while, Dad has something to say to Uncle Gu."

Although Yoyo was dissatisfied with his father's arrangement, he saw that Gu Chen's face was really bad, so he didn't continue to say anything, walked to the bench where he was, sat down, put his hands together on his chest, looked at the light above the surgical door, and whispered something in his mouth, although he couldn't hear it, it was not difficult to imagine that it was a prayer for Nansheng.

Gu Chen took the towel that had been quietly placed aside, and wiped the blood in his hand at a speed that was almost slow-motion, he didn't look at Ji Xi, nor did he speak.

Kissi sat down beside him, glanced at Yoyo in the distance, and spoke softly after a few seconds:

"It's going to be fine."

Gu Chen paused as he wiped the bloodstains:

"I thought you'd talk to me about something else."

"Will you listen?"

Gu Chen was silent.

"As early as the first time I saw Nan Sheng, I told you about this problem, you yourself said that you are sure, there will be no accidents, as a bystander, I can't forcibly change any of your actions, now that I have come to this point, even if I say anything, it will be too late, you know in your heart, and you have probably made a choice."

Gu Chen was still silent, still slowly wiping the blood stains in his hands, but the force increased a lot, as if he wanted to erase something with such a move.

Ji Xi saw it, and didn't stop it, quietly watched him wipe the palms and backs of his hands, and then folded the towel neatly, a few seconds later he stood up, and walked to the end of the corridor without saying a word, Ji Xi looked at his back and asked:

"Do you still want to know about her?"

Gu Chen's footsteps paused, and the silence became especially long, so long that Ji Xi thought he wouldn't say anything, but Gu Chen only tightened the bloody towel in his hand from beginning to end, and replied word by word:

"Not necessarily."

She's not his anymore.

After Gu Chen's figure disappeared into the corridor, Yoyo walked towards Ji Xi in confusion:

"Dad, why doesn't Uncle Gu wait for Sister Nan to come out before leaving?"

Ji Xi smiled forcefully and rubbed the top of Yoyo's hair:

"Yoyo will understand when she grows up."

"But the first person Sister Nan wants to see when she wakes up must be Uncle Gu, right?"

――

Two hours later, the lights in the operating room dimmed, Yoyo immediately got up from the bench and ran over, Nan Xiuyuan came out of the operating room, took off his mask, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the little girl in front of him, then looked at Ji Xi, and then looked at the entire corridor, but he never saw Gu Chen.

"Uncle, how is Sister Nan? Is she alright? ”

Ji Xi walked over and asked with concern:

"How's Nan Sheng?"

Nan Xiuyuan looked at him:

"Who are you from Nansheng?"

Ji Xi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the person in front of him might be Nan Sheng's half-brother, and smiled slightly: "Hello Mr. Nan, I am a friend of Nan Sheng." ”

"What about Gu Chen?"

"He still has something to do, so he left first."

Nan Xiuyuan put the mask into the pocket of his coat expressionlessly:

"So you came to ask about Nan Sheng's situation because he wanted to know, or because you cared?"

"Mr. Nan seems to be hostile to me?"

"You misunderstood, in fact I was very busy, and I didn't get anyone wrong."

Yoyo seemed to notice the stiffness of the relationship between the two, and wanted to persuade something, but she had been afraid of doctors since she was a child, especially a cold doctor like Nan Xiuyuan, and for a while she could only stand by and watch the atmosphere between the two become colder and colder, until there was a sudden insertion of a fourth person.

"Ah Yuan—"

Qin Se hurriedly ran over, sweating profusely, pulling Nan Xiuyuan's sleeve and asking nervously:

"What about Ah Sheng? How is she? ”

Ji Xi just took a look at what the person looked like based on an instinct, but just this glance, he was shocked and couldn't take his eyes off it, that ghost-like look immediately caught Yoyo's attention, she pulled the hem of Ji Xi's clothes, and whispered:

"Dad, it's rude to stare at someone like this."

Even if Yoyo's words were whispered, they still inevitably reached Nan Xiuyuan's ears in this empty corridor, he looked at Ji Xi, but saw that he didn't care about the words of the little girl next to him at all, and still looked at Qin Se with an incredible gaze, Nan Xiuyuan frowned slightly.

Qin Se couldn't wait for Nan Xiuyuan's words to be extremely anxious, for Yoyo's words, Ji Xi's gaze, including the changes in Nan Xiuyuan's feelings, she didn't have time to perceive, but she just wanted to know Nan Sheng's situation at this time:

"You're talking, what's wrong with Ah Sheng?"

Nan Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze from Ji Xi's body and looked at Qin Se:

"It's fine."

Qin Se breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart he was carrying finally slowly returned to its original position, but before he could adjust his breathing, he was stunned by Nan Xiuyuan's next sentence:

"You know him?"

Qin Se was stunned for a second before he realized who he was in Nan Xiuyuan's words, turned his head to look at Ji Xi, and found that he was looking at him with a shocked gaze, at first he felt strange, but he soon smiled:

"Do you think I look like a person?"

Ji Xi came back to his senses, but he still stared at Qin Se without blinking:

"Like?"

"You're Gu Chen's friend, right? He was shocked when he first met me, but I'm really not the guy you know, and I've never been to the United States or the United Kingdom. ”

Ji Xi was silent for a while before digesting the words in Qin Se's mouth, realizing his gaffe just now, he first apologized to Qin Se, and then explained:

"If Gu Chen has already confirmed, then I don't think you are really her."

Qin Se nodded, glanced around, and asked with a hint of doubt:

"What about Gu Chen? Why wasn't he there? ”

Ji Xi replied to Qin Se with the words he had just answered Nan Xiuyuan, although Qin Se disagreed, he was not as aggressive as Nan Xiuyuan, but quickly diverted his attention and asked Nan Xiuyuan again:

"Then when can I go to see Ah Sheng?"

Nan Xiuyuan looked at her with a faint expression, and his voice was cold:

"Soon."

After a few simple words, walk away
