Her biggest weakness is not her soft-heartedness, but her reluctance...
He couldn't let go of the good things in the past, and he couldn't let go of them. How could he be the only one hurt by the thorns on her body?
Whenever someone is mean to someone and uses language as a weapon to hurt him, he also hurts himself.
She understood all this. In fact, it is not difficult to forgive. What is difficult is how to regain trust in him?
Haiyao looked at Xiaoguai and fell into deep thought.
*****
How could Lu Haiyao not know that Gu Tingchuan was in danger...
Even if he was not injured, there must be a reason why he was rushed to the hospital. She just didn't want to face it and blindly deceived herself that he would be fine, but she felt like a cat was scratching her and she couldn't rest assured.
When I was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Gu Siyin walking towards me.
Gu Siyin seemed to be in poor condition, her eyes were red and bloodshot. When Haiyao asked, she said bitterly, "I didn't sleep last night."
At this time, Lu Haiyao was about to go through the discharge procedures and asked Gu Siyin to look after Xiaoguai for him. As soon as Haiyao left, Gu Siyin saw Xiaoguai's slumped face, squatted down and looked at Xiaoguai, and asked, "Why are you so sad?"
"
Xiaoguai lowered his head, biting his lip and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Siyin tilted her head and looked at the little guy, "I just went to see..."
She almost said the word 'dad', but remembering her grandfather's previous instructions, she swallowed the two words back and said bitterly, "Did you just go see...uncle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, sadness rose to the tip of his nose, making Gu Siyin almost cry. His eyes turned red, and he asked in a choked voice, "Have you... seen it?"
Xiaoguai shook his head unhappily, and Gu Siyin frowned, "Why?"
"Mom won't let me go."
As soon as the little guy said these words, it ignited the anger in Gu Siyin's heart.
At this time, Hai Yao happened to have completed the formalities. As soon as he returned, he saw Gu Siyin's eyes staring at her angrily.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with water, and she stared at Hai Yao angrily. Before Hai Yao could speak, she asked excitedly, "Why don't you let the children see him?"
Hearing this, Haiyao knew that Siyin was doing this. She knew that her actions were heartless, but she still lowered her eyes and avoided answering the question, "Siyin, I have something else to do, I will take Xiaoguai back first.
"
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Gu Siyin's angry roar, "Stop!"
She didn't have the courage to turn around and face her, so she only heard Gu Siyin say in disappointment, "I didn't expect you to be such a heartless woman!"
"Did you know that he is in the same hospital as you~! You can leave the hospital comfortably, but he doesn't know when he can leave!"
"Even if he has done something sorry for you, wouldn't you even want to take a look at him?"
"You always tell me not to call you sister-in-law, I understand..." Siyin choked back tears, "From now on, I will never call you sister-in-law again!"
Gu Siyin couldn't hold back her emotions after all, and crystal tears fell from her eyes. She bit her lip tightly, "He is in Ward 409, you decide whether to go or not!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away angrily.
Haiyao looked at Gu Siyin's leaving figure and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, causing suffocating pain.
She was even more panicked for a moment...
In her mind, Siyin was a strong girl, but she shed tears because of Gu Tingchuan...
How serious is it?
Lu Haiyao's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and they were too heavy to move...
The uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious, and she remembered Siyin's words just now: He doesn't know how long he will have to lie here before leaving!
Thinking like this, I felt very uneasy.
She still couldn't resist the drive of her heart and came to the door of the ward.
But I reached for the doorknob, but didn't have the courage to push it open...
She didn't know what she would see when she pushed it away.
Xiaoguai stood aside and saw that she didn't push the door or make any move, so he said anxiously, "Mom, I'll come."
As he said that, he knocked on the door with his little hand and asked politely, "Is uncle here?"
As soon as Xiaoguai finished speaking, the door opened.
Gu Siyin opened the door, her eyes were red, her head was lowered as if she didn't want Hai Yao to see her, and she whispered, "Come in."
After finishing speaking, Gu Siyin walked out of the ward and walked away without leaving a single word.
Hai Yao was just wondering when she heard the voices of Xiao Guai and Gu Tingchuan talking. She pulled back from her thoughts and stepped in.
What caught his eye was not the dying Gu Tingchuan lying on the hospital bed. He was still the same as before, and even picked up the little boy and let him sit next to him.
Hai Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief...
The moment she looked into his eyes and touched the twinkling smile in his eyes, she was in a trance. She once thought she was a man she could let go of, and the feelings she could let go of. In fact, she had not forgotten them at all. She just hid those feelings.
No matter how much she wanted to be a rational and heartless person, she still found it difficult to do so.
Gu Tingchuan seemed to know why she came, and said with a smile, "Are you scared by that bad girl Yinzi? Don't listen to her nonsense, I just had a temporary faint caused by overwork."
Fainting?
Is this why he was sent to the hospital?
"Liuliu, I'm glad you came to see me."
He said suddenly, and the sincere emotion in his dark eyes made Lu Haiyao feel a little sad...
In fact, even if she hadn't heard what Gu Siyin said, she might have come to see him, or she might have felt more at ease just to make sure he was okay.
Even though she was really worried about her, she didn't want him to see it, so she said arrogantly, "My dear, I have to come, but I can't help it."
Gu Tingchuan smiled without saying a word and rubbed Xiaoguai's bangs lovingly.
The little guy was very happy to see that he was fine, "That's great, uncle, you're fine."
The little guy jumped up and down on the hospital bed excitedly and said with an exaggerated expression, "Uncle, you scared me that day. I called you for a long time, but you ignored me."
With that said, Xiaoguai patted his chest, and then smiled again, "Uncle is fine, can you play with me in the future?"
The smile on the little guy's face was very contagious. Gu Tingchuan always had a slight smile on his lips, watching every cute expression and movement of the little guy.
If possible, he would like to stop time.
**********
Although the matter has come to an end, the police are still hunting the criminals.
Life is gradually getting back on track. Mengmeng is discharged from the hospital, Xiaoguai is back, and the company's projects are going smoothly. Haiyao has to say that Xu Yizhong is really a born businessman...
His thinking and way of doing things are quick and effective. There are many things that if she, Lu Haiyao, might take two days to do, but for Xu Yizhong, they can be solved in an instant!
Although Hai Yao was not convinced at this point, she had to admit Xu Yizhong's ability.
Everything is back on track, including Gu Tingchuan of course...
Is he back on track? So he will no longer disturb her life and give her a simple life.
Haiyao walked to the door of the community and looked up. The lights in his room were still dark.
She couldn't help but think of when he left the hospital that day, he asked her, "Liuliu, do you still love me?"
She turned her back to him, bit her lower lip tightly, and said something against her will, "I don't love you."
He has also asked questions like this...
This was not the first time she told him an answer that was against her will, but for some reason, that time, she felt so uncomfortable, as if someone had punched her in the heart several times.
When she got home, she looked at the closed door opposite and was stunned.
Perhaps, that time was when he decided to make his last effort. After getting her answer, he let go completely...
Realizing that she actually felt sour in her heart because of this realization, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly in self-mockery and murmured to herself, "Lu Haiyao, isn't this just what you want? Since you know it's impossible, why bother with it anymore?"
Perhaps it would be better for everyone if he escaped unscathed at this time?
In this world, no one can live without the other person. She will go on strong. Even if that kind of life is a bit painful, she has to endure it. Life is like a woman wearing high heels, she has to endure the pain, and the same is true for love...
She took a deep breath, tried her best to smile, and secretly told herself that she could get through it, but she didn't know how forced and ugly the smile on her face was...
**********
The lights upstairs just went out, and the car lights downstairs also went out...
Gu Tingchuan lowered the window, lowered his head slightly, had a cigarette in his mouth, and failed to light the lighter in his hand several times.
After all, he was a little annoyed, but he did not throw away the metal lighter in his hand as boringly as before. Instead, he reluctantly took out the cigarette from his mouth, held it between his slender fingers, and pressed his elbow against the car window.
Lean back and let yourself lean lazily on the cushions.
Looking at the familiar floor, he narrowed his dark eyes slightly.
The weak light from the street lamp shone on his angular features, and a faint shadow fell under his eyelashes. His eyes were reflected in the car's interior mirror, and only a faint glimmer of water could be seen in those black eyes...
I don't know why, but there are too many things on my mind at this moment.
He actually remembered all the things that happened over the years. When he saw her for the first time, she held the wine glass angrily and threw the drink in his face...
Later, when he saw that she had been wronged for Xu Yizhong, he felt hurt and angry. He shouldn't have stepped forward, but he violated his principles many times. Later, he became like a wild beast that has found its prey...
After all the efforts, threats and coercion, I just wanted to keep her by my side...
She said she didn't like him, and he said it didn't matter. If she liked to hate him, she would hate him to the core...
As long as she wants something that can make her happy, he is willing to do anything, but he can't get her a smile. Every time she says she wants to leave, he will lose control and do things to hurt her.
Along the way, every time he asked her what she wanted most...
She will say: leave you!
Such decisive answers stabbed him hard again and again.
At first, I would still be unconvinced and unwilling to let go, but today...
Gu Tingchuan lowered his eyes and a bitter smile spread on his lips. Today, he would grant her her wish, if this was what she wanted.
He finally gave her what she wanted most in the world.
