Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Man She Loves
He smiled shyly, an unnatural flush rising from his fair face.
Shi Sheng was stunned to take the things he handed over to him, but he didn't expect that a street corner where he casually talked nonsense would make him so troublesome and time-consuming.
"It's so late, I'm just a little uncomfortable, I'll be fine after a little sleep, you don't have to come all the way to bring me these."
From the moment she saw Mo Yuqian downstairs, she had already noticed the tiredness in his eyes, and because of this, she felt a deep sense of guilt at the moment.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think of Gu Yueqing in my mind. She and Gu Yueqing have been together for three years, and she has always been taking care of people, and every time she gets sick, or even has a fever, Gu Yueqing has never spent any energy or time on herself to take care of herself.
Thinking of this, Shi Sheng's heart suddenly became sour.
"What nonsense." There was a hint of hurt in her warm eyes, Mo Yuqian just wanted to raise his hand and touch her head, but when he caught a glimpse of the resistance and alienation in her eyes, he forcibly withdrew his hand.
"It's my job as a boyfriend to take care of my girlfriend, isn't it?"
Shi Sheng tightened the plastic bag in her hand, her hands were stuffed with the things he brought, she was indeed touched by it, but more of it was guilt for him.
How could she get Mo Yuqian's favor? Her heart is still in Gu Yueqing's body, and at the same time she accepts Mo Yuqian's kindness to herself.
These are good, they shouldn't belong to her, Mo Yuqian deserves a better woman, not her.
"Senior, thank you, I'm very touched." She said from the bottom of her heart.
"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do, serve my girlfriend."
"Senior, I ......" Shi Sheng hesitated, thinking about how to open his mouth to minimize the damage to Mo Yuqian.
"I can't really start a new relationship right now, I can't accept your kindness to me at this time, I will feel shameless, as if I am taking advantage of you, I don't deserve your ...... at all"
"Shi Sheng," Mo Yuqian interrupted her, "this is my personal act, I am willing to do anything for you, and I will be happy because of it." ”
"I won't give up until I find someone you love."
Shi Sheng was shocked by the firmness in his tone, as if it would be a real crime if he asked him to give up.
As for finding someone she loves? At present, even if it appears, it does not belong to her.
When he saw the deep sadness on her thin and pale little face, Mo Yuqian lowered his eyelids, "If you are not feeling well, rest early, I'll go first." ”
Shi Sheng came back to his senses and hurriedly responded.
Looking at Mo Yuqian's lonely back when she left, the more she felt that her indecision had invisibly hurt too many people.
As the night grew darker, Shi Sheng lay on the bed and was thinking wildly, and fell asleep unconsciously.
Not long after falling asleep, the mobile phone next to the bed rang. Probably because he was too tired in recent days, Shi Sheng struggled for a long time before he opened his heavy eyelids.
His body had not yet recovered from sleep, and his arm was sore and he picked up his phone.
When he saw the foreign number displayed on the mobile phone screen, Shi Sheng's heart chuckled, and a bad premonition came up.
"Is that Ms. Shi?" An unfamiliar female voice came from the earpiece, speaking Mandarin that was not very fluent.
"Well, I'm, it's the dean?" Shi Sheng waited anxiously for the other party to speak again, for fear of hearing bad news.
"Yes, the patient had another complication reaction the day before yesterday and we have performed multiple resuscitations for him so far. According to the current situation, the exchange transfusion operation must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be life-threatening at any time. ”
"In addition, there is another thing, as a guarantor, your last prepaid medical expenses have already been used up, and you have already owed many medical bills and hospitalization fees, we have sent the bill to your email address, please pay off the arrears as soon as possible, so as not to miss the best time for treatment."
"Okay, I see, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, thank you."
She hung up the phone, her thoughts drifted to the scene in Gu Yueqing's office that day, if she hadn't fallen into Gu Yueqing's lingering at that time, maybe the current dean would have already received treatment abroad.
She patted her head in annoyance, blaming herself for not being firm enough.
"Ah Sheng, it's time to get off work, let's go back to the dormitory together?" Rigo stood at the door of the office and called out to her.
Shi Sheng walked up to her, "I still have some problems, you can go back first." ”
"Okay, don't get too tired." Li Guo pursed her lips and walked away.
Shi Sheng waited for her to leave the hospital shortly after she left.
As soon as she walked out of the hospital gate, she expertly pressed the number that should have been on the blacklist.
"Gu Yueqing, it's me."
"I know."
"I ......" she hesitated for a moment, and Gu Yueqing on the other end of the phone was surprisingly impatient to ask herself.
"The five million you said last time, can you give me today?"
Shi Sheng didn't know what he should say to be more appropriate, and then thought that she and Gu Yue would not have any intersection after clearing the payment, so she let go.
The most important thing now is that the dean can be treated, and as for the rest, I will talk about it later.
"Shi Sheng, you care so much about this money?"
"Yes." The indifferent and detached tone suddenly pierced Shi Sheng's heart.
"If I had to choose between five million and me, what would you choose?"
She was stunned and didn't react for a while. What will she choose? If she could, of course she would choose Gu Yueqing.
"Five million."
As soon as the words fell, she seemed to hear Gu Yueqing's gasp, and she quickly denied her absurd delusion.
"Okay, where to trade?"
After a long while, Gu Yueqing spoke again, he asked about "deal", and Shi Sheng was silent for a moment before forcing himself to accept the word he used.
Isn't it a deal? In his eyes, she is already a woman who has gone to great lengths to take videos and threaten him to gain benefits.
She shook her head and kept reminding herself that the most important thing at this time was the cost of the dean's treatment, and nothing else mattered.
"Underneath your law firm, there's an old-time café, let's meet there." Shi Sheng heard himself say this.
Back in the day, that's where she used to go for the past three years. Gu Yueqing was reluctant to take her out in public, so she would often sit in the café in the old days, sometimes to wait for him, sometimes just because it could be closer to him.
Only now, she has never been there again. Because she is afraid of being discovered, she is a thief who cannot see the light after all.
Shi Sheng pushed open the glass door of the old time, and as soon as he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Gu Yueqing sitting in the corner.
It's still a corner.
In the past three years, if Gu Yueqing takes her out to eat, she will habitually choose a corner or a dimly lit location, as if she is alerting her all the time, this relationship is a dark, improper, and unknown secret.
She took a step, step by step, and walked towards him, her body like it was filled with lead, and every step was so heavy that it was difficult to walk.
Gu Yueqing was wearing a navy blue shirt today, and it just so happened that this was the only piece of clothing she gave him, and this was the only one he wore today.
Is it to mock her?
She laughed at herself wordlessly, pulled the chair across from him and sat down.
The two were relatively silent.
"What about the video?"
After about five minutes, Gu Yue spoke coldly, his eyes as cold as ice staring at Shi Sheng like a vulture.
Shi Sheng took out the silver USB flash drive from his backpack and pushed it in front of him, without raising his head to look at him the whole time.
"Don't worry, I don't have a backup." Sensing his gaze, Shi Sheng still lowered his head and added a sentence.
"Good." Gu Yueqing also took out the check with five million written on it from his pocket, stretched it out in front of her eyes, shook it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly slanted, as if mocking, "Five million." ”
Shi Sheng finally raised his head, forced his eyes to stay only on the check, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and only after a moment did he raise his hand to take the check and put it in his backpack.
She didn't dare to look at Gu Yueqing, afraid of seeing the disgust and ridicule in his eyes, although through his tone and the aura emanating from his body, she could already feel his boredom with her.
"The payment is clear, you said." After speaking, Shi Sheng stood up neatly, and without waiting for Gu Yueqing to say anything, he turned his head and walked to the door.
This is really the last time, maybe the last time in my life.
Shi Sheng constantly warned himself that he must not shed tears or look back at him.
She had never felt that the short journey from the seat to the gate was so long, as if this life was about to end.
"Ah Sheng?"
Yan Momo's voice suddenly sounded, Shi Sheng raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw her with a surprised face.
"Ah Sheng, why are you here?" Yan Momo looked at her with a look of surprise, took a step forward, let go of the handle of the glass door, and the glass door closed with a "clang".
Shi Sheng took a small step to the side, glanced at Gu Yueqing who was sitting in the corner out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he had already stood up and was about to leave through the side door, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haven't you always been in the hospital and the dormitory?"
Gu Yueqing stood in front of the side door, and suddenly turned his head to look at her, Shi Sheng's heart immediately rose to his throat, and the two looked at each other silently, until he left, Shi Sheng really put his mind at ease.
"What are you looking at?" Yan Momo didn't wait for Shi Sheng's answer, and followed her line of sight to look into the café, but she didn't see anything.
Shi Sheng retracted his gaze, "No, I just saw a kitten, and now I don't know where to go." ”
"Oh, you haven't answered me yet."
"I came to buy coffee for my colleague, and she specifically asked for this by name, so I had to come."
"Your colleague bullied you, huh?"
