Chapter 16. His Departure
A phone call takes only one or two minutes.
Gu Tingchen went out for a while, but his expression was full of worry when he came back.
He looked at me helplessly.
I asked him softly, "What happened?"
He sighed and asked, "I'm leaving later, are you with me?"
I asked him clearly, "Is it because of Wen Ruyan?"
Gu Tingchen closed his eyes and said, "She was injured in a car accident."
I asked patiently: "So you want to go back and take care of her?"
Gu Tingchen was silent, but his departure had already given me the answer.
Before he left, I reminded him, "We had conditions before, you were not allowed to see her during our relationship. Do you still remember?"
He murmured: "Remember, so I want to..."
Want to ask for my opinion?
But why would he think I would let him go?
"Gu Tingchen, if you want to leave, I will terminate this game."
I turned off the movie, stood up and smiled and said, "I won't stop you from leaving unless you want to break the contract, Gu Tingchen, I'm never as understanding as you think."
Gu Tingchen looked at me silently with his eyes, and finally turned around and left.
He left, and I stood at the window and looked at the back downstairs so resolutely.
I sighed, turned around and went back to bed to lie down and sleep.
Until the evening, Gu Tingchen's mother called me for dinner. I went downstairs neatly dressed, dragged my suitcase and stood in the hall in the hall to find snow in the courtyard.
Seeing me like this, Gu Tingchen's mother asked gently: "Want to leave?"
"Well, the plane will bother you during this period."
"It's okay, you are my daughter-in-law, why are you doing so politely?"
"Auntie, Tingchen and I have been divorced for a while."
Gu Tingchen's mother: "..."
She looked full of pity and I asked with a smile: "Can I build a snowman?"
"Can you want me to help you?"
"It's okay, I'll leave after I piled up."
I found the thickest snow place to start building snowmen. Because I had piled them with my parents when I was a child, it is not difficult to pile them up now. After the pile was formed, I took out the apricot scarf in my suitcase and gently wrapped it on the snowmen.
I turned around and returned to the hall. I originally wanted to leave with my suitcase, but I saw the photo on the wall with a striking photo of Gu Tingchen playing the piano when he was young, wearing a simple white T-shirt.
Warm, elegant and indifferent.
I had discovered it before and often stared at this photo in a daze. Once, Gu Tingchen discovered it, he asked me in confusion, "What are you looking at so seriously?"
After all, I couldn't help it. I quietly tore off the photo and hid it in my pocket. As soon as I reached the door, Gu Tingchen's mother called me. I thought she had discovered that I had stole the photo, so I pretended not to hear it and left quickly.
So I didn't hear her saying, "How come you have Lanzhi's scarf?"
...
I was sitting on the plane with a severe headache. After a night of sleep, the flight attendant woke me up.
I stood up in a daze and left home.
I felt exhausted all over my body. It must be because I caught a cold while building a snowman. In addition, my body was weak and I had a high fever. When I left, I took a taxi to the hospital.
When my attending doctor saw me, he asked in surprise: "Why are you so weak?"
I nodded and said, "I caught a cold, can I get some fluid?"
"Well, how are you feeling in your body lately?" he asked.
"The pain is obvious, and there is a lot of blood coming from below."
The doctor suggested: "I would recommend you to have surgery."
I smiled and refused, "What you said is that I have advanced cancer and will not fully recover even if I have surgery. It is just a few months of life. If that's the case, what's the difference between doing surgery or not?"
And I don't want to waste my time in the hospital for the rest of the time.
The doctor sighed and said, "Miss Shi, I will help you check your health first."
After the examination, the doctor arranged me to the previous senior ward. I lay on the bed and felt dizzy and fell asleep quickly. When I woke up, I saw a tall figure suddenly appearing in front of the window.
Wucheng was brightly lit. He looked at the neon lights outside the window with his back to me. I lay on the bed and blinked and asked him clearly, "Is Wen Ruyan also in this hospital?"
He turned around, his eyes darkened and said, "Well, she is next to you. I just passed by and saw your name written at the door of the ward."
"The hospital belongs to Shijia, this is my exclusive ward."
I wanted to tell him that I didn’t appear here on purpose because Wen Ruyan was hospitalized here. It was just a coincidence.
Gu Tingchen suddenly walked towards me and asked worriedly with his voice: "Why are you sick?"
I said hello to the doctor before, and he would not reveal my cancer condition to anyone.
Gu Tingchen asked only about me having a cold or a fever.
"If you catch a cold, you will get some fluid if you feel uncomfortable."
Gu Tingchen frowned, "You are still fine when I leave during the day."
I said warmly: "I'm in poor health."
What he asked, I answered, and it seemed that the conflict during the day did not exist. Seeing me like this, Gu Tingchen asked inexplicably: "Don't you blame me at all?"
I shook my head and said frankly: "I can't say I'm too lazy to care about it."
If you don't complain, you won't forgive you again.
Gu Tingchen and I finally returned to the bridge and the road was back.
I am also grateful for his care these days. Although it is false, it at least makes me feel the feeling of being taken care of by someone, and that person is still in love with me.
When Gu Tingchen heard me say no to complain, he still couldn't accept it. He stared at me with a deep heart for a while, and finally threw down a sentence, "As you wish."
As I wish?!
He looked confused and didn't understand what he meant.
I closed my eyes and wanted to continue sleeping, but Ji Nuan suddenly called me, and her fearful voice came and said, "Sheng'er, save me."
I asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
"I'm in the police station, and Gu Tingchen asked me to be locked up."
When I arrived at the police station, I found out that Wen Ruyan's car accident was caused by Ji Nuan. I asked Ji Nuan what happened. She said in panic: "It was Wen Ruyan who forced me, it was her. The car accident was caused by her."
I asked in a daze: "What does it mean?"
"The driver who drove to hit someone was Wen Ruyan. She broke Chen Chusheng's legs. I don't know how they got together. I didn't care at first, but she found me today and asked about your whereabouts. It was not until now that I knew that Gu Tingchen's ex was her!!"
I comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, then what?"
I hugged Ji Nuan and she cried and explained, "I don't want to hit her, but she said you snatched her Gu Tingchen and hid him now! She couldn't find him, so she came to me because we are best friends. She felt that I must know your whereabouts, but I really don't know! Then she began to mock me, mock Chen Chusheng, saying that he was a cripple with broken legs, saying that he didn't know anything, and he didn't even look like a man! I couldn't help it, so I drove and hit her. After all, I was angry. If it weren't for her, Chen Chusheng and I wouldn't have endured so many hardships now! Her lawyer just told me that it was suspected of murder, and at least two years of jail, Sheng'er, please help me! I can't go to jail, I have to go to find Chen Chusheng, I want to be with him! I don't want to stay in prison."
Ji Nuan's nerves were about to collapse. I hugged her and coaxed her and said it was okay. I suddenly realized that to solve this problem, I had to find Gu Tingchen, because Wen Ruyan's biggest reliance was him.
I resisted and went to the hospital to find Gu Tingchen.
At that time, he was feeding Wen Ruyan to drink porridge, his movements were gentle, just like taking care of me in those few days.
I closed my eyes and was about to knock on the door and go in. Wen Ruyan was the first to find me standing at the door. She deliberately asked in front of me, "Tingchen, do you love me?"
Gu Tingchen responded lightly: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Wen Ruyan asked stubbornly: "Do you love it?"
"Ruyan, you know what I think about you."
His thoughts for Wen Ruyan...that is love.
I held back the knock on the door and stood in the corridor and waited. It took about twenty minutes before Gu Tingchen came out from inside. He was stunned when he saw me and asked in a indifferent voice: "Why are you here?"
I pursed my lips and asked, "Can I let Ji Nuan go?"
"You and her..."
"That's my best friend."
Gu Tingchen thought for a while and told me clearly: "I have to give her an explanation, just like if you are injured, I have to give you an explanation, otherwise she will keep making trouble with me and will always be thinking about this matter. She always feels that she trusts the man who should protect her but does nothing."
Gu Tingchen is right. If he helps me, Wen Ruyan will make trouble with him and will disappoint his woman. He has no reason to favor me at all, because I am not his fiancée.
His words were very light, but they were cruel.
Because what he said was the truth.
Gu Tingchen bypassed me and wanted to leave, but I suddenly asked him coldly, "Just because I haven't had a fuss with you, so don't you have to give me an explanation?"
His steps stopped and he looked at me calmly.
"Shi Sheng, what do you want to say?"
His tone was cold, for fear that Wen Ruyan in the ward would hear his tenderness towards me. My eyes were moist: "Gu Tingchen, you took away my child two years ago and I didn't make a fuss with you. Even if the doctor said I would no longer be a mother, I didn't make a fuss with you! You took away my mother's qualification. Now I can let you go to Ji Nuan to change it?"
"Shi Sheng, what did you say?"
