A Lifetime Appointment Chapter 31 - The Past (II)
It was one day in the second semester of the second semester of junior high school, Gu Changsheng came to the hospital, but this time he was not alone, and he was accompanied by a boy. The boy looked cool, and the whole person was also very sunny, and as soon as he entered the door, he put down the fruit in his hand and said, "Hello Auntie!" ”
Gu Changsheng put down his schoolbag and helped Lu Li up. Lu Li coughed and smiled at the boy named Xu Yang, Xu Yang was also a familiar acquaintance, so he naturally chatted with Lu Li.
Gu Changsheng sat next to him and peeled the fruit without saying a word. Since it is chatting with parents, it must be inseparable from grades, and after a while, Lu Li asked about Xu Yang and Gu Changsheng's performance in school.
"Xu Yang, Auntie asked you, how are Changsheng's current grades? Did you listen well in class? Did you make any friends? As soon as Lu Li spoke, Gu Changsheng was stunned, he slept at school from morning to night, and as for making friends, he had never communicated with others. The most important thing is that he forgot to remind Xu Yang not to mention his results to Lu Li!
Lu Li's body has been getting worse lately, what if she knows that she is self-defeating and gets excited and hurts her body?
Gu Changsheng glanced at Xu Yang nervously, but he didn't dare to show too much, Lu Li was his mother after all, and he knew himself too well, he was afraid that he would be seen by her with a single movement or look.
"Alas, Auntie, this guy Gu Changsheng is really perverted, he is a little higher than me in every exam, and I am the second in the class." Xu Yang touched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and he spoke again: "As for making friends?" Not to mention, in addition to a group of big men pulling him to play every day, there are also a bunch of little girls who bring him water! I can't even interject sometimes! Xu Yang said very naturally, as if everything was true.
Gu Changsheng looked at Xu Yang with wide eyes, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and then lowered his head and continued to peel the apple.
Lu Li was amused by Xu Yang's words, covered her mouth and smiled. Then he said to Gu Changsheng: "You kid, bring a girl to see me next time!" Then he coughed a few more times.
Gu Changsheng handed the peeled fruit to Lu Li, blushed and said, "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense, where did the little girl come from." ”
"Stinky boy is still embarrassed!" Lu Li gave half of the fruit to Xu Yang, Xu Yang was not polite, and generously said thank you to Auntie and then ate it.
From that day on, Gu Changsheng and Xu Yang were like being bound, and they were together every day. It was also from that day that Gu Changsheng regarded Xu Yang as a friend.
"Auntie, I'll come to see you tomorrow!" Xu Yang waved his hand at Lu Li and turned to leave. Lu Li looked at Xu Yang's departing figure and smiled, then touched Gu Changsheng's head and said, "Changsheng, your friend is very interesting, you have to treat him well." ”
Gu Changsheng turned his head and blushed and said, "How can there be?" This is an annoying elf that has been pestering me for a long time. ”
Lu Li covered her mouth and smiled: "Yo, our little Changsheng has learned to be arrogant?" As soon as the words fell, there were two heavy coughs. After hearing this, Gu Changsheng hurriedly handed over a glass of water, his eyes revealing a deep worry.
"What do you think silly son, I'm feeling better these days, maybe I can be discharged from the hospital in a month." Lu Li gently stroked the back of Gu Changsheng's hand, smiling easily. She took Gu Changsheng's hand and put it on her face and said, "No, you pinch, I've gained weight in the past few days." ”
Gu Changsheng pinched Lu Li's face and saw her smirking at him. Gu Changsheng looked at Lu Li's smirk, and he lowered his head and laughed. The mother and son hugged each other and discussed where to go to play when Lu Li's body was better. At that moment, Gu Changsheng seemed to have returned to the previous days and felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
Shan Lanfei returned to Qingcheng City to settle down and opened a coffee shop on the edge of the Hui River, which was named "Lifetime is Good". Since then, Gu Changsheng and Xu Yang would go to Shan Lanfei every day to sit down, and then go to the hospital to see Lu Li. The relationship between Gu Changsheng and Xu Yang is getting better and better, and Lu Li's smile is getting stronger and stronger, looking at these two living treasures every day, his mood will be much better. Gu Changsheng thought that Lu Li would recover in a short time, but what he was waiting for was unexpected bad news.
It was raining heavily, and the sky was gray and oppressive. Gu Changsheng and Xu Yang shook off the water droplets on the umbrella and pushed open the door of the coffee shop.
Maybe it's because of the weather, there's no one in the café, and even the lights are only half on. Gu Changsheng hung the umbrella on the umbrella stand in front of the door, and watched Shan Lanfei sit in front of the platform and hang up the phone, his eyes were red.
Without waiting for Gu Changsheng to ask, Shan Lanfei choked up and said, "Changsheng...... Lu Lishe ...... Admitted to the intensive care unit. ”
This news exploded in Gu Changsheng's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he didn't have to be shocked when he heard it, so he ran to the hospital. The torrential rain hit Gu Changsheng bit by bit, and he asked Lu Li over and over again in his heart, didn't he say that he would get better soon? Didn't you say that you would travel together after being discharged from the hospital? Why lie to yourself?! Dad has left him and chosen to betray this family, and now even you have to leave alone?
Gu Changsheng, who was close to madness, no longer cared about any traffic lights, he crossed one road after another, and was almost knocked to the ground several times. Gu Changsheng ignored the vicious curses of those drivers who rolled down the windows and ran towards the hospital one by one.
The tiled floor of the hall was very slippery after encountering the water, and Gu Changsheng almost climbed up the stairs with a roll, and as soon as he entered the aisle, he bumped into a doctor around the corner. The doctor was knocked to the ground, and he was about to scold, but when he saw it, he was Gu Changsheng, who was drenched and covered in tears, and he didn't know whether it was tears or rain.
Gu Changsheng knew him, this person was Lu Li's attending physician, he was usually very good to people, and he would say hello when he saw Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng got up and looked at the doctor, his eyes were full of helplessness and pleading, he looked at the doctor as if he was crazy, and said tremblingly: "I...... Where's my mom? Where is it?! ”
The doctor knew that Gu Changsheng was a poor man, so he sighed and said, "You came just in time, your mother is ...... I still want to see you one last time, it's still too late. After Gu Changsheng heard this, his whole person was stupid, he stood up stiffly as if he had lost his soul, and walked to the front room step by step like a zombie, the short aisle was so long in Gu Changsheng's eyes. He stood in front of the door for a while and didn't know what to do, he knew that Lu Li was on the other side of the door, and he didn't know how to accept this fact.
"Come in, your mother is waiting for you...... It's painful. It was the doctor who brought Gu Changsheng back to reality, Gu Changsheng no longer hesitated after hearing this, and pushed the door in.
Lu Li in front of him was lying on the hospital bed, his face was bloodless and pale. When she saw Gu Changsheng walk in, she wanted to squeeze out a smile with all her might, but she didn't even have the strength to do so now.
Gu Changsheng walked to the hospital bed and knelt on the ground with his knees weak, bowing his head and being silent. The rain slid down the tip of Gu Changsheng's hair and fell to the ground with a ticking sound, and there was silence all around.
"Drench...... If it's raining, you'll catch a cold......" Lu Li's voice was already weak, but this was already her greatest strength, and she couldn't hold on anymore.
Gu Changsheng didn't speak, he still knelt in place with his head down, at this time he had a lot of things to ask Lu Li, why did he lie to him? Why hide your condition? Why leave him behind? But when these words came to his mouth, he seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that Gu Changsheng was silent, Lu Li used her last strength and said with difficulty: "Long ...... Changsheng, promise me, don't ...... Don't blame your dad, okay? He may ...... He may have had his own struggles. ”
Gu Changsheng's lowered head suddenly raised, she would never have thought that Lu Li would actually say such a thing! Why! Why is she still thinking about that man until she dies! The man who betrayed his family, betrayed her, betrayed himself! Why forgive him!
Gu Changsheng asked Lu Li a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, obviously he tortured you like this! It's all his fault, why are your last words like this?!
When Gu Changsheng looked at Lu Li again, Lu Li had already left, and his eyes were closed......
"Ah!!h Gu Changsheng pounded the ground desperately, letting out a roar like a beast.
When Shan Lanfei and Xu Yang arrived, they saw Gu Changsheng kneeling on the ground without saying a word. Shan Lanfei stepped forward and hugged him, and Gu Changsheng's empty eyes did not have a trace of emotion.
......
A year later.
Gu Changsheng and Shan Lanfei came to Lu Li's tomb, but found a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, which was her favorite rose. Gu Changsheng picked up the bouquet of roses and looked at it, the flowers were very fresh, and it was obvious that they had just been put down. No one will bring roses with them when they sweep the grave, unless the man knows her.
Just as Gu Changsheng was thinking about who this person was, he saw a person in the distance. It was obviously a sunny day, but he was holding a black umbrella, and the man was wearing a neat suit and looked very solemn. Although the black umbrella obscured his appearance, Gu Changsheng could recognize him at a glance, he was Gu Jiaxing, the one who left their mother and son!
Gu Changsheng casually picked up a stone beside him and chased after him as if he was crazy. The man ran away when he saw Gu Changsheng also scattering his legs. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Gu Changsheng threw the stone in his hand desperately, and the stone hit the person steadily.
The man staggered, but didn't say anything, turned around and got into a black car without a license plate. Gu Changsheng was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, and he roared at the black sedan that was far away: "Old bastard! You don't deserve to come to her! You don't deserve it! ”
The black sedan drove away slowly as if it hadn't heard it, and disappeared from Gu Changsheng's sight.
Every year since then, Gu Changsheng could see a bouquet of roses in front of the tomb on Lu Li's birthday, but he couldn't find the person's whereabouts. He knew that Gu Jiaxing had always been there and had never left again.
In the following days, Gu Changsheng began his life as a walking dead. He gave up basketball, only kept the painting that Lu Li liked, and started his job as an online painter on the Internet. He refused to move in with Shan Lanfei and lived alone in the house left by Lu Li.
When Gu Changsheng saw the bank card and real estate certificate that Lu Li had placed on the table, he knew that Lu Li had secretly prepared everything a long time ago, and even changed the real estate certificate to his own name.
The days passed like this, day by day, until I met Tang Wan......
