In the next few days, Gu Nianxi took care of Su Yuheng and took time to take care of Zhao Ziti. Due to overwork, she was getting thinner and thinner. Her actions did not influence Zhao Ziti, but made her even worse. Her attitude towards her was not friendly, and she even made things difficult for her at every turn.
, Zhao Ziti didn’t ask Gu Nianxi to help her do this or that, cutting her nails now, serving tea and pouring water, it was all the work of serving others.
"Let's do this. If you treat me better, I will consider helping you." Zhao Ziti said to her arrogantly. Gu Nianxi did not expect her to let them go. She came to take care of her. First, she missed her old relationship.
The second is to sympathize with her.
Gu Nianxi silently complied with any of her conditions, just hoping that one day she could figure something out and get out of the dead end she had set.
Ever since she was pushed by Zhao Ziti, Gu Nianxi's back was covered in bruises. She never dared to talk to Su Yuheng and only hummed softly when no one was around.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yuheng, who was lying on the bed, noticed something was wrong with Gu Nianxi. She had been frowning for the past two days, as if she felt uncomfortable somewhere.
"Oh, it's nothing, my stomach hurts a little."
"Did you catch a cold last night?"
"Maybe."
These days, Gu Nianxi has been sleeping on the nurse's bed in the ward. When she was tired at night, she fell asleep and did not bother to cover her with a quilt. There were several nights when Su Yuheng looked at her thin back and felt a little distressed, so he endured the pain in his abdomen and got up to help her.
Cover yourself with quilt.
In the evening, after Gu Nianxi came out of the bathroom after washing, she saw Su Yuheng half-sitting on the hospital bed and patted the spot beside the bed.
"come over."
"?"
"Squeeze in to keep warm."
"..."
It's not like there was no accompanying bed, so why was she crowded together with him? Gu Nianxi shook her head and refused, "I don't sleep well, for fear of hurting you."
"Fortunately, you know that you are not honest when sleeping, but I really don't want to get up at night and cover you with a quilt."
"Ah? Are you going to cover me with a quilt?" Gu Nianxi blushed when she was told that she was here to take care of people, but instead she was taken care of by the patient.
"I don't want to see you sick." Su Yuheng glanced at the nursing bed, "How about you push the bed over to me."
This is a good way.
Gu Nianxi went to work immediately, opened the four wheel brakes of the nursing bed, and easily pushed the bed next to Su Yuheng's hospital bed.
"Hehe." She lay down on the bed, looked at Su Yuheng stupidly, and held his hand, "I was hospitalized last time, why didn't I think I could still be like this?"
Su Yuheng couldn't help but smile and lay down, "Last time you couldn't move your legs and you couldn't kick the quilt."
"Haha, that's it." Gu Nianxi laughed awkwardly twice and then stopped talking.
"Yes." Gu Nianxi leaned over and kissed Su Yuheng on the cheek, "Good night." She smiled sweetly, hugged his arm tightly with her hands and fell asleep.
In the second half of the night, Gu Nianxi's whole body had crossed the boundary. The two of them were squeezed into the narrow hospital bed, and she clung to him.
"No..." Gu Nianxi murmured, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Gu Nianxi dreamed of Su Yuheng being stabbed by Zhao Ziti. She tried her best to save him, but he said a bunch of nonsense to her, then closed his eyes and passed away.
In the dream, she attended his funeral and returned home holding his urn.
"Aheng..."
Her choked call woke up Su Yuheng. Su Yuheng turned to look at her and saw Gu Nianxi crying in her sleep.
"Nian Nian."
"Ugh...I can't help you." Gu Nianxi opened her eyes in a daze. The darkness blurred her vision. The hazy profile in front of her made her feel sad. "I will grow up. I really
I can protect you."
Su Yuheng lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Nianxi, frowning. What happened to her? Why did she say such a thing suddenly.
He held her in his arms and patted her back, "Well, you have grown up..."
"hiss……"
Gu Nianxi's painful moans attracted Su Yuheng's attention. He took advantage of the faint morning light to lift the corner of Gu Nianxi's clothes who was still sleeping, revealing a large piece of green on her lower back.
Zisu Yuheng was furious, suppressing the anger in his heart, and prepared to ask her for explanation when she woke up.
"Why am I sleeping here?"
As soon as Gu Nianxi opened her eyes, she found herself on Su Yuheng's hospital bed. She was so frightened that she quickly sat up. She didn't know when he woke up. He was sitting on the bedside, staring straight at her, with that cannibalistic look in his eyes.
She seemed very dissatisfied with her.
Could it be that he blamed her for disturbing his sleep?
"Sorry, sorry, I -"
"What happened to your injury?"
"Ah?" Early in the morning, Gu Nianxi's brain was still in a sluggish state. She rolled her eyes, but she still hadn't realized what he meant, "Injury?"
"On the lower back."
"Back waist? Oh, that's...that's what I touched accidentally. It's okay. It'll be fine in a few days." Gu Nianxi said carelessly. She didn't want him to worry too much, nor did she want him to worry about it.
It was said in front of me that Zhao Ziti recommended it.
"Going for a checkup today."
"No, it's not that serious."
"You keep complaining that your stomach hurts."
"Maybe it's a local sprain due to the collision."
"Bumped into?"
"Yes, I just bumped into it accidentally." Gu Nianxi realized that she almost spilled the beans, and quickly lay down and pretended to sleep, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."
Su Yuheng looked at her suspiciously, but he didn't expect that she actually fell asleep when she said she was asleep. He gently stroked her hair against her cheek and saw that she was sleeping soundly and stopped disturbing her.
At this moment, someone was secretly hiding outside the door and saw Su Yuheng's tenderness towards Gu Nianxi. She leaned against the cold wall and closed her wet eyes. Jealousy and anger surrounded her. Zhao Ziti clenched her fists and tasted
I noticed a trace of blood, and it turned out that I bit my finger too hard and broke it.
She staggered back to the ward, thinking about the way Su Yuheng looked at Gu Nianxi just now. She had never seen that gentle and doting look in her eyes.
Snowflakes are falling in the sky, and Christmas is approaching. Festive decorations are hung everywhere on the streets of New York, and cheerful Christmas songs are played in the large and small shops along the streets.
Gu Nianxi walked all the way, and her gloomy mood finally felt a little better. During these days, she worked two nursing jobs in the hospital, which made her even more tired. Su Yuheng was relieved, but Zhao Ziti made her unhappy in every way.
After being scolded by her yesterday afternoon, Gu Nianxi decided not to care about her old childhood relationship anymore and abandoned her with clenched fists. Zhao Ziti and Su Yuheng are really similar. They are both crazy, but the form of madness is different.
One is a martial madman and the other is a boring madman. They are similar in that they both torture others without knowing it.
From now on, no matter whether she lives or dies, let her be. If this continues, I'm afraid she will soon be tortured and depressed.
Gu Nianxi dragged her heavy steps towards the hospital, carrying a bag containing Su Yuheng's change of clothes.
Passing by a gift boutique, Gu Nianxi stopped and went straight in to look around. She wanted to choose a Christmas gift for Su Yuheng.
Gu Nianxi rarely went to Christmas in previous years. She was not someone who liked to join in the fun, and she was not in a romantic mood. This year, there was a sudden sense of freshness.
"Miss, what do you need?" A handsome guy with brown hair walked towards Gu Nianxi. He saw Gu Nianxi looking at the store for a long time without deciding what to buy, so he wanted to give her some help.
"I want to give my boyfriend a gift."
"What do you want to give me?"
Gu Nianxi thought for a moment and ran out of ideas. Su Yuheng lacked nothing. What could she give that would be able to reach his heart?
"We also have some antique jewelry in our store. Do you want to take a look? They are all collected from war-torn countries. They are very special."
Gu Nianxi's curiosity ignited and she nodded. She followed the boy to a classical counter at the back. On the long counter were exquisite lamps and an embroidered fan with Chinese characteristics.
After a while, the boy walked out of the back storage room, holding an exquisite jewelry box in his hand. He carefully placed the box on the counter and opened the velvet lid gently.
There were some jewelry inside, almost all of them jewelry and jade. Gu Nianxi glanced at it and looked away. These exaggerated jewelry were obviously not suitable for him.
"There is another layer below." The boy said, opening the lower drawer of the jewelry box. There were some inconspicuous jewelry inside. Among the many jewelry, Gu Nianxi saw a black independent gemstone without any decoration. The pattern on the gemstone
It's like an eye.
"This is the magic eye."
"Magic Eye?"
"Yes, it can also be called the devil's eye. Do you think this outline looks like a sharp eye?"
Gu Nianxi bent over and observed carefully, it was indeed like an eye as he said.
"Can this be processed?" Gu Nianxi thought, she couldn't give him a gem and keep it on her body all day long.
"It can be inlaid. Do you want it to be a necklace or a bracelet?"
Su Yuheng had to wear a suit and tie on weekdays, and it was inconvenient to hang a chain around his neck, so Gu Nianxi decided to make him a bracelet.
"Can you weave it with black leather rope? My boyfriend is a businessman and it is not convenient for him to wear flashy accessories."
"Can."
"How long does it take to make it ready?"
"It can be done in one afternoon."
"Then I want this." Gu Nianxi said and took out the card, but saw that the boy kept laughing.
"You decide without asking the price? It's not cheap."
Yes, she forgot to ask about the price.
"How much does it cost?"
The boy wrote a number on the paper on the counter, and Gu Nianxi followed the zeros he drew one by one in her mind, curious about how many more expensive things his small shop could sell.
"One thousand dollars?"
"Well, it was originally one thousand and two dollars, but seeing that you're happy, I'll give you a real price."
One thousand US dollars was worthy of Su Yuheng's status. It was so cheap that she was embarrassed to give it to him. Gu Nianxi handed the card to him, then suddenly thought of something, she took the card back.
"Wait, what's the proof of its origin?"
Gu Nianxi thought that if it was a liar, then the thousand dollars would not be worth it.
"Oh, wait for me."
As the boy spoke, he hid in the back storage room and came out after a while holding his cell phone.
The boy opened the photo folder on his phone and handed the phone to Gu Nianxi. His phone was full of photos of post-war urban ruins and local refugees.
In a photo, Gu Nianxi saw the gem. It was lying quietly on a rag spread on the ground. It did not appear prominent among the pile of jewelry. An old man with a white beard squatted beside it, his face
His expression is one of endless vicissitudes and confusion.
"He is a local rich man. Everyone calls him Mr. Basile. This magic eye belongs to him. To be honest, I bought it for eight hundred dollars."
Gu Nianxi raised her eyes to look at him, but she didn't expect him to be quite honest.
"Hey, making a two hundred price difference from it is not a huge profit, right?"
This does not seem too violent. There is no way to measure the value of something like jewelry.
"If you slide further, I took these photos. You can look at them more,"
Looking through the photos one by one, Gu Nianxi frowned, feeling sad when he saw the gray-faced but smiling children he took.
"Why did you go there? To hunt for goods?"
"Of course not. Who dares to go to that hell place just for money? I want to work for Doctors Without Borders."
