Since He Jianchen had been intimate with her that day, Gu Nianxi guarded him like a thief every day. Whenever she heard his voice coming from outside the door, she would ring the nurse bell.
As time passed, He Jianchen also realized that something was wrong. Whenever he entered Gu Nianxi's ward, a nurse would follow him.
She always found different reasons for the nurse to stand between them, so that he never had a chance to say a few words to her.
During the doctor's rounds in the morning, He Jianchen led a male doctor who looked about the same age as him into the ward. At this time, Gu Nianxi had just had breakfast, and Gu's father went to wash the dishes. She was the only one in the ward.
"Gu Nianxi, I will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow." He Jianchen said to her in a serious tone, looking different from usual.
Gu Nianxi nodded obediently and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll talk to my dad when he comes."
This kind of He Jianchen made her a little uncomfortable. He used to smile and talk to her, but today he was putting on airs and seemed a little cold.
"This is Dr. Wu. If you need anything later, you can contact him directly."
"good."
"Yeah." After He Jianchen said this, he turned and walked out of the ward.
Gu Nianxi looked at his back, her eyes rolling.
Where did she offend him?
When Gu's father came back, Gu Nianxi told him about being discharged from the hospital. Gu's father was very happy to hear it, but soon his face became sad again.
"Dad, when will my mother come back? Can I see her when I get home?"
"able."
Father Gu lowered his head to put away the dishes and said nothing.
"I only remember that my second uncle's son is not married yet. I didn't expect that he would have a second child. This time, my mother traveled thousands of miles to attend the baby's full moon party. My second uncle must be very happy."
"yes."
Father Gu was in a very low mood. After packing his things, he stood up and pointed to the door. I'll go back and make you some pork rib soup. I'll come back at noon and ask Dr. He if you have anything."
"Hmm...ok."
After Gu's father left, Gu Nianxi looked out the window boredly, thinking about something from college.
She remembered that Zhao Zimu promised to give her a huge red envelope, but she didn't know if he gave it to her. Thinking of this, Gu Nianxi realized that she had never seen Zhao Zimu for so long after waking up, so she picked up the phone on the bedside table and sent a message.
Give it to Lin Yiduo.
——You asked my brother when he will come to see me?
After sending the message for a long time without receiving a reply, Gu Nianxi opened her phone out of boredom and scrolled through the gossip.
"Hengxi Department Store will open on May 10..."
Isn’t May 10th the day after tomorrow? It’s also her birthday.
Looking at her legs, Gu Nianxi sighed. She didn't even think about going shopping in the past two years. It didn't matter to her whether the new mall opened or not.
There were several knocks on the door. Gu Nianxi looked over and saw He Jianchen standing at the door.
"Doctor He..."
"Gu Nianxi, have you thought about it?"
"What?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"ah?"
Gu Nianxi was petrified on the spot. She nervously clutched the quilt and bit her lower lip, just not knowing how to answer him.
"Can you... give me some more time?"
"good."
He Jianchen answered her and left quickly, leaving Gu Nianxi and the second monk confused.
…………
The day Gu Nianxi was discharged from the hospital, she was in a very good mood. He Jianchen carried her into the wheelchair and watched her get off the elevator.
On the way back, Gu Nianxi looked at the scenery. When passing the city center, she saw the newly built building and the opened department store.
When she entered the house, she called her mother ecstatically, but when she pushed the wheelchair into the living room, what she saw was her mother's portrait.
Only then did she understand why her mother never showed up after she woke up.
It turned out that half a year ago, Gu's mother suffered a heart attack and fell to the ground while crossing the zebra crossing at the hospital. She was already dead when she was taken to the hospital.
Father Gu said that her mother's death had nothing to do with her, but Gu Nianxi knew that if her mother had not taken care of her day and night, she would not have collapsed from overwork.
This sudden blow left Gu Nianxi in a state of despair. She cried and fainted several times due to excessive grief. This terrible situation was simply a terrifying hell for her.
Due to lying in bed for a long time, Gu Nianxi's calf muscles have atrophied. She cannot walk normally, and even standing for a while is extremely difficult. Not only does she have physical defects, she also suffers great psychological torture. She attributes her mother's death to her own fault.
, she lived in pain, and had thoughts of committing suicide several times, but whenever she had random thoughts, her father's vicissitudes of life pulled her back from the edge of hell.
How could she be willing to leave him alone in this world?
But how could she pretend that nothing had changed.
Gu Nianxi was tortured by conflicts all day long. She often looked at her mother's portrait in a daze. She really wanted to open her eyes every morning and still see her mother holding her as she did when she was a child and saying: "Niannian, don't be afraid, this is just a nightmare.
"
"If it hadn't been for me, my mother wouldn't have died, and my father wouldn't have become a human being in his old age. If I died, I wouldn't let them worry about it. If I died..."
She said this to the people who came to visit her over and over again. She hoped to seek a scolding to make herself feel better, but no one did so. They all cried with her or comforted her. No one could truly understand her inner feelings.
sad.
It wasn't until one day that Dr. He came to the house and scolded her severely that she felt better.
"Gu Nianxi! God won't let you die. There must be a task for you. If you insist on saying that it would be best for you to die, would it be wrong for me to save you? Your parents have been taking care of you when you were in a coma.
You, they didn't give up on you because you became like that, what right do you have to give up yourself! How many people fought hard to get your life back! If you don't want to live, what will your father do? You let him live alone for the rest of his life? He
You have to take care of him when he gets old! How will he live if you die?!"
Gu Nianxi raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at him, tears falling from her eyes. She choked and wanted to speak, but her lips trembled and even her tongue was frozen.
"Dr. He, can I go back to the past?"
This question made He Jianchen feel sad. He nodded to her without thinking and said to her with a particularly firm expression.
"You will be better than before. One day, you will thank me for saving you."
Gu Nianxi was affected by his words, lowered her head and cried sadly.
Will she pull through? Will she?
She lost her confidence.
The spring breeze blew through the window. Gu Nianxi was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the sun-drenched yard. As she looked at it, her eyes suddenly lit up.
A black car parked in front of her house, and no one got out for a while. Who came?
Just as Gu Nianxi was curious, the car slowly left again.
Maybe it's someone passing by.
Gu Nianxi thought like this, her eyes dimmed instantly, and suddenly, a burst of intense sadness surged into her heart. Gu Nianxi raised her head and tears rolled down her face.
Who was she waiting for to get out of the car at that moment?
"Gu Nianxi, how are you feeling today?"
A man's voice came from behind. Gu Nianxi turned around and looked over. It turned out to be Dr. He.
She sat in the wheelchair and did not move. He Jianchen walked up to her and knelt down to look at her level. She stared at his white shirt for a long time. This was the first time she had seen him wearing a white shirt. He was so handsome, so what did he wear?
They all look good.
"Your name is... He Jianchen?" she asked him.
"Well, He Zhizhang's He, Simple Jane, He Jianchen's Chen." He Jianchen replied with a smile.
"He Jianchen..."
Gu Nianxi looked at his dimples and murmured his name. They must have met somewhere before, but she couldn't remember.
"Have we known each other before?"
He Jianchen looked at her with a smile and said something mysterious.
"you guess."
After He Jianchen left, Gu Nianxi tried her best to move her legs and walked to the floor-length mirror, looking at herself in the mirror as if she were looking at a stranger.
With a skinny body, inappropriate short hair, and a mature face, this is what she looks like at the age of 28.
She caressed her cheek gently and remembered what He Jianchen said. Maybe he was right. God allowed her to survive because she had a heavy responsibility. If she didn't cherish the opportunity to survive, how could she take care of her family.
Gu Nianxi took a deep breath and when she opened her eyes, she was determined to live a good life!
He Jianchen's encouragement made Gu Nianxi finally cheer up from the pain. After half a year of rehabilitation and exercise, Gu Nianxi gradually returned to a normal life and got out of the life of being taken care of.
She often walks alone in S city. In her forgotten memory, besides some people and things, there is also this city.
Today, this city is no longer what it was when she was a freshman. It has become even more beautiful and glorious.
Gu Nianxi was sitting alone in a coffee shop by the Bund, looking at the bustling night view opposite, feeling full of regret.
She regrets that she did not remember the beauty of Lin Yiduo on her wedding day, regret that she did not remember her life studying abroad in the United States, and even more regret that she did not see her mother for the last time.
In the past six months, Gu Nianxi had seen with her own eyes how hard Father Gu had put into taking care of her, and she extremely regretted having thought of committing suicide. She forced herself to quickly return to her old life, just to stop her father from worrying about her.
Since she woke up, Gu's father has been in a much better mood. In order to take care of her these years, Gu's father has quit his university job. Recently, Gu Nianxi has been encouraging Gu's father to continue teaching at the university. With her support, Gu's father has become normal.
back to work.
It's just that Gu's father did not return to his original university to work, but went to his alma mater, E University.
In order to pursue Gu's mother, Gu's father gave up the opportunity to stay in school and applied for Gu's mother's university. Grandpa Gu, who was the president of E University, was so angry that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship with him, so now Gu's father would joke that now
Mr. Gu should have a smile on his face.
As the days passed, everything seemed to be back to normal, but Gu Nianxi was still trying to adapt to this experience that spanned time and space.
She tried to accept the appearance of some strangers, and also tried to accept the sudden disappearance of some people.
One day, Gu Nianxi suddenly realized that after she woke up, Zhao Zimu had not appeared once, nor even called. She asked Lin Yiduo many times about Zhao Zimu's current situation, but Lin Yiduo always gave her different answers.
Answer.
"My father-in-law has not been in good health in the past two years. Zi Mu is now in charge of the company, so he is quite busy and is often abroad."
"Then I'll go see my godfather after a while."
"No! My father-in-law...is not in City S. He has gone to City H. The air there is good and it is suitable for retirement."
"Oh, when will Zhao Zimu come back? Let's have a meal. Why did he change his number? I can't contact him."
"Oh, he uses the office phone more now."
At first, Gu Nianxi didn't think much about it. She was pleasantly surprised when she heard that Zhao Zimu was too busy with work to see anyone. But as time went by, Gu Nianxi realized that things were not as simple as Lin Yiduo said.
Until this moment, Gu Nianxi still didn't know the truth about the car accident or the consequences. Not long after the car accident, Zhao's father suffered a stroke due to Zhao Ziti's death and is now half-paralyzed.
Everyone has been hiding this from Gu Nianxi to prevent her from remembering those sad things. After she woke up, she never worried about emotional matters again.
Lin Yiduo never dared to tell her Zhao Zimu's thoughts.
In fact, after the car accident, there was a deep estrangement between Zhao Zimu and Gu Nianxi. He has been unable to face her because he believed that his sister's death was caused by Gu Nianxi's interference in her and Su Yuheng's relationship, which caused his sister to be obsessed with seeking death.
Now, even if Lin Yiduo knew the truth, Zhao Zimu would not give her a chance to tell her. In the past few years, as long as she mentioned the word "Gu Nianxi", Zhao Zimu would have a big fight with her.
The relationship between Gu Nianxi and Zhao Zimu has reached the current impasse, which is a particularly regrettable matter.
