Chapter 54 Recharge
After hearing this, Lin Muci suddenly jumped away from Gu Chaoyu's arms.
He widened his eyes, too embarrassed to look directly at Gu Chaoyu.
"No, no... nothing else!"
"It's just you...you're awesome or something! Seriously! I didn't think of anything else!"
He was making incoherent excuses, his fair face flushed red, making him even cuter.
Oh my god!
[He heard everything?!]
"That's impossible! I clearly used a safeword! Xiaoyu will definitely keep his promise and won't listen to what I'm thinking next."
[This is neither of these, nor that. Could it be that... he guessed what I was thinking just now? ]
Seeing that Lin Muci was about to combust from shame, Gu Chaoyu stopped teasing him.
He reached out, gently took Lin Muci's wrist, and pulled him towards the door.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Gu Chaoyu pulled him to the sofa in the living room, gently pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down.
Then, he turned to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water at just the right temperature, and handed it to Lin Muci.
"Don't get too excited, drink some water and calm down."
Lin Muci was like a primary school student who obeyed his teacher. He held the cup of water in both hands and drank from it in small sips, but he didn't dare to look at Gu Chaoyu.
Gu Chaoyu sat down beside him, looked at his red ears, and spoke softly.
"What happened today is not my own achievement."
"If it weren't for you, a curious little cat, that dusty tin box would have remained buried forever."
"Without that box and those fragments, I'm afraid Little Tree's father wouldn't have woken up so quickly."
He paused, turned his head, and his eyes fell gently on Lin Muci's profile.
"So, our Assistant Xiaolin deserves credit for this."
"What a good wife!"
"Puff—cough cough cough!"
Lin Muci almost spit out the water he had just drunk.
[A good...good wife?!]
This word...
[This is too foul! ]
He choked and his face turned red, and he coughed continuously.
Gu Chaoyu quickly reached out and patted him on the back to help him calm down.
"Drink slowly."
Lin Muci finally recovered. He put down the water cup, raised his head, and looked at Gu Chaoyu with sparkling eyes.
"No!"
"Brother Xiaoyu, you are really good."
"You remind me of the saying, 'A doctor's heart is full of compassion.'"
Lin Muci said this sincerely.
"Honestly, if I were a doctor, on the first day when Xiaoshu's father treated us with such a bad attitude, I... I might have really turned around and left."
"I can't do what you did, to endure so much pressure and still be willing to understand him and help him."
These words struck Gu Chaoyu's heart with great weight.
He recalled his original intention of choosing to study medicine many years ago.
At that time, he simply didn't want to see the people around him die in pain due to illness.
He looked at the face in front of him that was full of sincerity, and the pair of clear peach blossom eyes, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
"That's what you taught me."
He whispered.
Lin Muci was stunned: "Me?"
"Yeah." Gu Chaoyu's gaze became distant, as if he was recalling something.
"When I was most sad, you taught me to learn to touch my own wounds."
"If it weren't for that sentence, I might have always avoided the word 'mom' and all memories related to her."
"I will never face my mother's death, nor will I understand the pain that death from illness brings to the family."
"That's why I chose to study medicine."
Gu Chaoyu withdrew his thoughts.
"So, Mu Ci is my lucky star."
【Little Lucky Star...】
【Xiaoyu brother actually said that I am his lucky star! 】
【happy! 】
[Although he had previously told me why he chose to study medicine, it was me who made him so virtuous! It turns out that my words of comfort to him back then had such a profound impact on him...]
【We are destined to be together! 】
Gu Chaoyu listened to the cheerful tune in his heart, and the smile on his lips became even more intense.
He stood up and extended his hand to Lin Muci, who was still immersed in sweetness.
"Little Lucky Star, can we go take a bath and go to bed now?"
"I'm a little tired today."
He leaned slightly closer to Lin Muci, his voice hoarse and with a hint of coaxing.
"I want to sleep with my lucky star and recharge my batteries."
Lin Muci's face suddenly turned red again.
Together...sleep...recharge...
These words automatically combined and fermented in his mind, evolving into all kinds of indescribable images.
He immediately jumped up from the sofa, without even looking at Gu Chaoyu, and said "I'll go right away!" and rushed into the bathroom without looking back.
"Bang!"
The bathroom door was closed.
Gu Chaoyu looked at the closed door and laughed out loud.
The night is still long.
…
The next morning.
The sun is shining.
Gu Chaoyu and Lin Muci were having breakfast when a crisp cell phone ringtone rang.
It’s Gu Chaoyu’s cell phone.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Zhang Hui.
Gu Chaoyu pressed the hands-free button.
"Hello, Sister Zhang Hui."
"Doctor Gu! Doctor Gu!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Hui's voice was full of joy and excitement, even with a hint of tears.
"Xiaoshu's father...he told me everything! He apologized!"
"Last night, we talked all night long. He told me everything about his childhood, everything that had been pent up in his heart for over thirty years..."
"He hugged Xiaoshu and me, cried for a long, long time, and apologized to us solemnly..."
Lin Muci was listening at the side and became excited too, forgetting to take the chopsticks out of his mouth.
Zhang Hui on the other end of the phone continued talking.
"More importantly, Dr. Gu, he...he told me early this morning that he wanted to see a psychiatrist!"
"He also asked me to ask you if you could... could you continue to give him acupuncture treatment?"
"He said he wanted to get better completely! For this family and for himself!"
"Of course." Gu Chaoyu's voice was gentle but firm. "Tell him he can do it anytime."
After hanging up the phone, the living room was quiet for a few seconds.
"yeah!"
Lin Muci couldn't hold back any longer, he jumped up from his chair excitedly and waved his fist on the spot.
"That's great! It's really great!"
He was even happier than when his novel sold its platinum copyright!
An unprecedented creative passion suddenly surged into his heart.
He felt that the protagonist of his next book must be a miracle doctor like Gu Chaoyu!
A miracle doctor who looks cold on the outside but is extremely gentle on the inside, who can heal not only the body but also the heart!
Once this thought appears, it can no longer be suppressed.
Lin Muci's eyes lit up and he rushed to the study and turned on his computer without even finishing his breakfast.
