Lin Wei's words made Gu Nianxi shudder. She couldn't associate herself with that woman. If there was such a coincidence, it could only be said that she was really unlucky.
That man is not an easy person to deal with.
Thinking of his ex-wife who had passed away, Gu Nianxi got goosebumps all over her body. She rubbed her arms and quickly said to clear the air, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Why are you so nervous?" Lin Wei looked at Gu Nianxi in confusion.
Gu Nianxi hesitated and said: "Do you know... about the death of his ex-wife?"
"I know, his ex-wife died in a car accident three years ago." Lin Wei said calmly.
"Car accident?" Gu Nianxi was a little surprised by the answer, "She is not... herself..."
"You said..." Lin Wei raised her hand and wiped her neck. When Gu Nianxi nodded vigorously, she rolled her eyes, "Of course not. Who did you listen to? He told me that his wife was in a car accident.
I left him, oh, he also experienced that car accident."
"..."
Regarding the death of the financial owner's ex-wife, Gu Nianxi heard two versions. There was no way to verify which one was true.
The life and death of a stranger had nothing to do with her, but for some reason, Gu Nianxi had a strong curiosity about this woman.
Could her death be the cause of Mr. Su's illness?
Gu Nianxi suddenly had a persistent thought. She wanted to know his secret.
Her strong desire was like a pair of hands behind her pushing her forward. She wanted to know his story, more... more...
In the afternoon, Gu Nianxi got off work early and went to the hospital. She carried fruits to visit He Tiantian. As soon as she walked into the ward, she saw a boy sitting on a bench in the aisle.
He was wearing the uniform of No. 1 Middle School, and Gu Nianxi recognized him as the boy named Zong Kai.
Gu Nianxi walked up to Zong Kai. He lowered his head and saw her toes. He raised his head and looked at her curiously.
"Teacher Gu?"
Gu Nianxi didn't know that Zong Kai was a student who transferred from the second year of high school to the first middle school. She thought Zong Kai also knew her, so she sat down next to him.
"How are you studying?"
The sudden question stunned Zong Kaiwen. He nodded with a confused look on his face, then quickly shook his head.
"Not as good as her."
"She?" Gu Nianxi deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Zong Kai awkwardly pointed to the ward opposite, and Gu Nianxi nodded to express his understanding.
"Then you are not worthy of her."
Zong Kai's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief, obviously he didn't agree with Gu Nianxi's words.
He stared at Gu Nianxi closely, admiring this beautiful teacher who spoke astonishingly.
"I think...I..."
"Look, you stutter and have lost your confidence. Are you trying to say that your family is better off?"
Zong Kai opened his mouth, and what he was thinking was spoken out, and he really didn't know how to respond.
Gu Nianxi leaned on the back of the chair with her legs stretched out straight. This loose appearance did not look like an adult at all.
Zong Kai looked her up and down and suddenly realized that she was the girl who had eaten oden online before. He was about to speak to confirm, but Gu Nianxi spoke first.
"Which big tree do you think your current superiority is based on? But He Tiantian doesn't have a big tree to shade her. She grew up in such a harsh environment and never went astray or gave up on herself. She has such high demands on herself.
First in the class, first in the grade. Her plans for her future are definitely much more than that. In a few years, she will definitely get rid of her current predicament and reach her goals step by step. But you... Put aside your family background
, what are you comparing with her?"
Zong Kai didn't speak. Gu Nianxi tapped her temples and continued: "She can change her destiny in the future by relying on this place, but it's difficult for you to jump out of your comfort zone."
After saying this, Zong Kai felt uneasy after being told by Gu Nianxi, and he suddenly became unconfident.
Zong Kai thought about it carefully and realized that he was indeed not as smart and capable as He Tiantian. He nervously held Gu Nianxi's hand and asked for help eagerly.
Teacher Gu, let me tell you frankly, I really like her. On the first day when I transferred to another school in my second year of high school, she walked in front of me on the way to school. I remember staring at her ponytail and stupidly following her in the wrong direction.
After I passed the class, I saw her name on the honor roll and realized that she was the top student in our grade.
Originally, I wanted to wait until school was over to ask her for her phone number, but I didn’t expect to hear something about her in class, so I... chickened out a little."
Gu Nianxi listened carefully to what he said and nodded with him, "I can understand."
"After that, I was very conflicted. I couldn't help but look at her, but I also cared about her messages. Until my senior year in high school, I thought that if I didn't do something, I might regret it for the rest of my life after graduation, so I confessed to her.
"What's the result?"
"In the end, she didn't give me a reply. She turned away from me and left. I guess she wouldn't like a scumbag like me."
Gu Nianxi saw a trace of helplessness in his eyes. She patted Zong Kai on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Why don't you catch up and ask."
"Her personality is not very enthusiastic, and she is even a little cold. I'm afraid that she won't be interested in me, and I don't want to embarrass her. I like her, and I just want her to know."
I didn't expect that today's children would have such complicated thoughts. Gu Nianxi somewhat admired his bravery.
"It's my business to like you, it has nothing to do with you."
Gu Nianxi said what Zong Kai meant, and she nodded in agreement, "I don't want to leave any regrets for myself in my youth."
"What about you and Yu Jiao? How is your relationship?"
"She was my childhood friend. We have always been neighbors. It was her aunt who helped me transfer to No. 1 Middle School. I have always regarded her as my younger sister."
You idiot, but I don’t treat you as my brother.
Gu Nianxi thought to herself and took a look at Zong Kai. She had to say that this boy was indeed handsome. He had a pair of light brown eyes and his white skin, which gave him a special look.
Very fresh and youthful feel.
"Then what do you think now? Why didn't you go in after you came?"
"I don't know if she wants to see me."
"Why don't I want to see you?"
Zong Kai was silent for a moment and sighed.
"Yu Jiao bullied her, but I didn't protect her."
"Do you think what happened that day happened because you stood by and did nothing?"
Zong Kai nodded.
After Gu Nianxi understood what he was thinking, she stood up and pointed to the fruit basket on the ground, "Take it and follow me." After she said that, she turned and walked towards the ward.
Zong Kai froze on the spot. When he reacted, Gu Nianxi had already pushed open the ward door, and he hurriedly followed.
He Tiantian was the only one in the ward. She was lying there with one leg hanging and a heavy plaster from her shoulder to her arm.
Gu Nianxi had experienced this kind of pain before. She couldn't bear to look at He Tiantian and felt a sense of distress in her heart.
"Tiantian."
Thinking of the scene of her jumping that day, Gu Nianxi was still in shock. She had been having nightmares this week, and the scene of her jumping was always played in a loop.
He Tiantian was woken up from his sleep. She looked at them with sleepy eyes. When her eyes fell on Zong Kai, her eyes flashed.
"Teacher Gu."
He Tiantian quickly turned his attention away from Zong Kai. It was really embarrassing for him to see him like this.
Gu Nianxi noticed the awkwardness between the two children, and she planned to leave her time with them by simply saying a few words.
"Does it hurt?"
Gu Nianxi knows this kind of pain best. When she saw that He Tiantian was silent, she quickly explained, "I appointed Zong Kai to take care of you."
After she said this, the eyes of the two children glowed incredibly at the same time.
"I have a caregiver here."
Only then did Gu Nianxi remember that there were nurses, and she immediately changed her story.
"The senior year of high school is very stressful. I asked him to take notes and tell you about them every day, so that your studies will not be affected."
He Tiantian continued to be silent. Before he could think of a reason for rejection, he heard Zong Kai walking up to her excitedly.
"Didn't you say you want to take the medical college entrance examination? If you want to take the medical college entrance examination, I will accompany you, but... I may need you to help me improve my grades. In this way, I will secretly take pictures of the class content every day, and then copy the notes together.
Bring it to you."
He Tiantian couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the two reconciled, Gu Nianxi felt relieved. She said a few words of encouragement to He Tiantian and left voluntarily, leaving the ward to the two of them.
On the way back, Gu Nianxi thought of many things. She suddenly remembered He Jianchen, who was far away in New York. Her boyfriend only called her once last week.
He really lets himself go and is so busy that he even has a girlfriend.
When she got home, Gu Nianxi called He Jianchen, but there was no answer, so she gave up.
The next week, a strange thing happened.
The sponsor did not contact her again.
Gu Nianxi showed no emotion on the surface, but she was uneasy in her heart. She was afraid that he would not come again.
Sure enough, one day, Lin Wei opened the office door, shook her head at Gu Nianxi, and told her with a depressed expression.
"Gavin just called. He still chose to give up treatment. He asked me to thank you."
Gu Nianxi looked at Lin Wei and was stunned for a long time, then replied belatedly, "Okay." Then she lowered her head and continued to sort out the information.
No one noticed anything strange about her, only she knew how lost she was.
After get off work that day, Gu Nianxi sat on the chair in the consultation room until late at night. She looked at the empty sofa and her heart became empty.
She opened her notebook, tore out the sketch of a girl sitting on a swing eating marshmallows, and wrote a blessing in the lower right corner. Gu Nianxi folded it into a square and stuffed it into his coat pocket, looking at his
In the black coat, Gu Nianxi let out a long sigh.
"good luck."
She turned off the light, turned around and left lonely.
In the days that followed, Gu Nianxi lived and worked as usual, and Mr. Su was gradually forgotten by her.
A few days later, Gu Nianxi received the news that He Jianchen had extended his business trip. During the call, she was so depressed that she could not speak.
"Are you angry?" He Jianchen asked on the other end of the phone.
"No." There's no such thing as being angry, but it's just that he will be late for another month before coming back, which makes Gu Nianxi a little unhappy.
"I will apply with the leader and go back to get the certificate first, and then come back."
"Goodbye, work is important."
"Can work be more important than my wife?"
When Gu Nianxi heard that He Jianchen received a notice from the hospital to extend his business trip time, he lost his temper and almost resigned.
She comforted him and said, "Although I also want you to come back soon, if you miss the opportunity the hospital gives you this time, it will affect your future. We will be together for decades to come, so a month's delay actually doesn't matter."
Gu Nianxi said this, feeling extremely sad. She really missed him, but she just didn't want to burden him.
Hearing what she said, He Jianchen felt much better. Gu Nianxi had always been very supportive of his work. When he was busy, he didn't care about her at all. Before coming to the United States, he promised to call her every day, but in the end, he only managed to contact her three times a week.
time.
She never complained or added trouble to him. Her sensibleness and gentleness always made him care more about her feelings.
"Gu Nianxi, wait until I come back to marry you."
"Okay, you should also take good care of yourself."
The two chatted for a while, and He Jianchen had to have a meeting, so he reluctantly hung up the phone.
