Chapter 101 He Still Loves Gu Xingjue September Early...
In early September, Country Y was still sweltering from the midsummer heat. After a half-month of sunny days, today the sky suddenly turned cloudy, suggesting rain. The hospital corridor was dark and oppressive. A dog barked in the silence, and passersby knew the devil had arrived.
The barking was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, interspersed with the melodious tinkling of bells. Chen Song stood by the window, his mood having eased somewhat due to the impending rain. He turned to open the door, and as soon as he did, the furry little ball leaped onto his legs, jumping wildly.
Chen Song leaned over to hug the happy puppy, rubbing its soft, warm body. It must have just had a bath, and its body still exuded a sweet, warm fragrance. The puppy whimpered happily twice and moved around in Chen Song's arms, licking his cheek affectionately.
Chen Song couldn't resist and took two steps back to sit on the ground. Chen Song laughed along with it. When Gu Xingjue rushed from the corridor to the door, he saw this scene. Chen Song was laughing.
"Chen Baisui, be gentle, you are pressing on your father." Gu Xingjue said in a deep voice.
Chen Song looked up and saw the leash in Gu Xingjue's hand hanging on the ground. Chen Song guessed that Suisui must have escaped when Gu Xingjue was not paying attention.
When Chen Baisui was only a little over twenty days old, that is, the day when Gu Xingjue first brought it to see Chen Song, Chen Baisui was kept in Chen Song's ward.
It accompanied Chen Song to slowly practice walking. After more than two months, Chen Song can already walk normally, but the walking time cannot be too long. It is a bit strenuous for him to jog, and he will start to lose strength after walking about one thousand meters.
Chen Baisui ran faster and faster, and flew out in a blink of an eye. His size also doubled. He was very naughty, running around everywhere in the hospital. He was in the teething period and biting everywhere, causing serious consequences. So half a month ago, Gu Xingjue sent him to a pet home and brought him to see Chen Song every night.
Gu Xingjue squatted down and tried to grab Chen Baisui's collar and put on the leash, but Chen Baisui immediately jumped out of Chen Song's arms and fled to the ward.
"He's really getting more and more naughty." Gu Xingjue said, "It's all because of your pampering."
Chen Song took the leash from his hand. Gu Xingjue picked him up from the ground and brushed off the dust on him: "You can't sit on the ground. It's so cold. The season will change soon. You'll catch a cold again."
"Your hands are still so cold," Gu Xingjue frowned, holding his hands to warm them up, "I'll go get you a cup of hot milk, okay? After you drink it, let's go see the sea."
"But it's going to rain." Chen Song lowered his eyes and looked at the hand he was holding. The last two fingers of his left hand could not be closed, and there was a long scar on the palm of his right hand. But it was this pair of ragged hands that were giving him warmth and warmth.
Gu Xingjue smiled, touched his cheek and said, "What's wrong with the rain? I promised to take you to see the sea, rain or shine."
He thought it was going to rain and that Gu Xingjue would not take him to see the sea again. After Gu Xingjue said this, the annoyance in his heart slowly dissipated.
"Okay, put the rope on it first. I'll get you some milk. Drink it." Gu Xingjue touched Chen Song's head and asked him like he was coaxing a child, "Okay?"
Chen Song nodded.
Gu Xingjue looked at Chen Baisui who was gnawing on the bed leg and said, "Take good care of your father and don't bully him. Otherwise, I'll come back and cut you."
Chen Baisui grunted and suddenly stopped, glanced at Gu Xingjue sideways, then let go of the bed legs and let out an "ah", as if to say, don't worry, I promise to complete the task.
Both of them smiled.
Gu Xingjue drove for an hour. When he arrived at the beach, thick black clouds were pressing down from the horizon. The sea breeze was very strong, causing the waves to surge. The waves flooded the beach and beat against the shore. Flocks of seagulls were circling low over the sea, catching fish washed up by the waves.
The imagined rain was still lingering, and the damp, sticky sea breeze, tinged with salt, was stifling and chilling. The endless sea beneath the dark clouds had also grown gray and gloomy. It was a sea unlike anything Chen Song had ever seen, filled with awe and terror, as if a roaring beast were about to unleash a massive wave and devour him.
It was gloomy yet arrogant, as if resisting something, roaring something, shouting hysterically, fighting against the pressing dark clouds.
The beast that had been trapped in Chen Song's heart for a long time seemed to be gazing deeply at the sea, attracted by its roar, and awakening the desire to break free from the cage.
It was as if a drop of rain fell into his eyes, then slid out of his eye sockets. He opened his lips and mouth, and after a moment he called out, "Gu Xingjue."
Gu Xingjue tilted his head to tidy up Chen Song's messy black hair and said softly, "Yes, I'm here."
Chen Song smiled slightly: "I want to go home."
Gu Xingjue paused, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you home."
"Awooo, wooo, wooo, wooo——" Chen Baisui howled to the sky, as if he was confronting the surging tide, or as if he was agreeing with the conversation between the two.
Chen Song smiled and paused again, looking at Gu Xingjue: "What should we do Sui Sui?"
Gu Xingjue saw Chen Song's worry, and there seemed to be a hint of pleading in his worry.
Gu Xingjue curled his lips, raised an eyebrow, glanced at his son and said, "Just leave it here. No plane would let you take it if it's so naughty."
Chen Song frowned: "Not good."
"Ah!" Chen Baisui resisted.
Gu Xingjue smiled and rubbed Chen Song's ears. "Alright, alright. It's true that no airline allows pets on its planes, but my plane does. How could I bear to let my baby's baby stay here all alone?"
The thick calluses on Gu Xingjue's fingertips made Chen Song feel itchy, but Chen Song suddenly felt reluctant to move away. He wondered if this meant that he still loved Gu Xingjue.
He and Gu Xingjue had been arguing for so long, and Gu Xingjue had indeed used time to prove to him that he loved him, even more than Chen Song could imagine.
He still wasn't sure how to respond to Gu Xingjue. People don't always cherish what they have. If they get back together, will they still end up apart? No relationship lasts forever; it will fade...
"The wind is strong, let's go back." Gu Xingjue hugged Chen Song and walked back with his son. "Go back and take a hot bath. I'm really worried you'll catch a cold, baby. Let's go back to the hospital and explain the situation, and then do some tests. If there's nothing wrong, we'll go home. But we probably still need to do some rehabilitation training for a while. We'll go back to China to do it. I'll still be with you. Don't worry, I'll arrange everything. Just be patient for a while."
Gu Xingjue smiled and said, "You're really amazing, you're really amazing, baby. You did so well in such a difficult training and persisted through it. That's really great."
Chen Song felt embarrassed by Gu Xingjue's coaxing: "You talk a lot, I've never seen you talk so much before."
"Ouch," Gu Xingjue tilted his head and rubbed the crook of Chen Song's neck, "You're still holding a grudge against me, Xiaobao."
"Don't call it that." Chen Song said awkwardly.
"What do you call me?"
"Just a name."
"That's not possible. Anyone can call you by your name. You have to think of a name that only I can call you by."
Chen Song stopped talking and his heart beat faster.
"Hmm..." Gu Xingjue thought seriously, "Xiao Songbao? Songsong? Ah Song?"
Chen Song frowned: "No."
Gu Xingjue was about to ask why when he suddenly got nervous and remembered that Cheng Song was also called Song. His heart tightened and he tried to think of something else in a hurry, but the more anxious he was, the harder it was for him to think of anything.
Chen Song was a little angry at first, but seeing Gu Xingjue's anxious look made him feel relieved and even found it amusing. However, Chen Song held back and didn't show it. He even pretended to be angry and took the leash from Gu Xingjue's hand, pulling Chen Baisui away from him and moving forward.
Gu Xingjue looked at Chen Song's back and didn't know how to coax him for a moment. He didn't dare to go forward for fear of adding fuel to the fire.
Chen Song glanced back out of the corner of his eye. Perhaps because he was spoiled by Gu Xingjue, he became a little unscrupulous and wanted to do something bad. He also had the urge to tease him and pretended to trip.
Seeing Chen Song about to fall, Gu Xingjue was so frightened that he immediately rushed forward to hug him. After steadying him, he squatted down to check his foot: "Tell me where it hurts, okay?"
Gu Xingjue rolled up Chen Song's trouser legs to check. When the scar on his palm touched his calf, Chen Song couldn't help but step back.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Gu Xingjue frowned deeply and looked up at him, "Can you still walk?"
Chen Song looked at Gu Xingjue's frown and the worry in his eyes and suddenly remembered what Kray had told him, asking him to feel sorry for Gu Xingjue.
This is not fun at all. It seems like he has been bullying Gu Xingjue all the time.
Chen Song lowered his eyes and shook his head, intending to say it wasn't painful, but the next moment, Gu Xingjue picked him up. He was so frightened that he immediately hugged Gu Xingjue's shoulders. As soon as the leash loosened, Chen Baisui took the opportunity to run off to the side and have fun.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt," Gu Xingjue said with tears in his eyes, "I'll take you to see a doctor right away."
The strong wind blew away Gu Xingjue's voice, which became intermittent as if he was choking, and white hair was visible under his lifted black hair.
Chen Song's heart tightened and he wiped away his tears: "It doesn't hurt. I lied to you. I fell on purpose. Don't cry anymore. Put me down quickly."
Gu Xingjue stopped and looked at him: "Really?"
"Yeah." Chen Song touched his cheek, "Why are you so crybaby? You're not a child."
Gu Xingjue asked again: "Does it really not hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Gu Xingjue had no intention of putting the person down. He walked quickly to the parking space, put Chen Song in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and then chased Chen Baisui, who had run off to play, back and stuffed him into the back seat.
After arriving at the hospital, Gu Xingjue asked the doctor to examine Chen Song's leg first. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he asked Chen Song to take a hot bath immediately. During this time, he sent his dog son back to the pet home, and went back to the hospital restaurant kitchen to cook four dishes for Chen Song.
Chen Song was sitting on the bed reading a book. His hair was still wet and had not been dried yet. Gu Xingjue did not even have time to prepare dinner for Chen Song. He quickly took out a hair dryer.
"When I'm not around, ask the nurse to blow-dry your hair. You have to blow-dry it after washing it. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." Gu Xingjue plugged in the hair dryer.
Chen Song pretended not to hear and continued flipping through the book. In fact, he just wanted Gu Xingjue to blow him. Gu Xingjue had always blown him, and he felt that he had become dependent on Gu Xingjue.
After drying Chen Song's hair, the two of them had dinner together.
In the middle of the night, Chen Song still had a fever. The fever continued to rise, and Gu Xingjue was so anxious that he stayed up all night, constantly changing the ice pack on Chen Song's forehead.
Chen Song had a fever so severe that he was talking nonsense and had nightmares. He was crying and cursing, mumbling something but it was hard to hear clearly. Gu Xing was so heartbroken that he stayed by his side and comforted him all night.
It wasn't until the morning that Chen Song's temperature dropped slightly, but he was too uncomfortable to sleep: "It's so cold."
Gu Xingjue rolled into the quilt and hugged him: "It's better, there's no baby."
"Hold me tight." Chen Song rubbed Gu Xingjue's chest.
Gu Xingjue hugged him tightly and touched his head: "My dear, I'm always here, in the next life. Otherwise, let me live in your body. Let me bear all your pain, okay?"
"You won't be able to find me in your next life."
"I will find it. I won't drink Mengpo soup or walk across the Naihe Bridge. I will wait for you to come and secretly live in your body."
"Is it okay to watch me marry someone else?"
Gu Xingjue was silent for a moment, touched his face and said, "It does matter. I will feel very uncomfortable."
"Gu Xingjue," Chen Song said hoarsely, "If you do this, I'll infect you."
"No, just sleep peacefully. You won't feel uncomfortable when you wake up. I will always be by your side."
"I can't sleep. I've slept too much and too long. I've slept all the sleep I've ever had in my life."
"Then let me tell you a story."
"I'm not a child anymore, why should I listen to stories before going to bed..."
Gu Xingjue smiled and coaxed him softly, "You are. With me, you can be a happy, naughty child without restraint."
"Okay, baby, I'm going to tell you a story. This time, it's about Piglet's adventure in the Gusmissai Canyon..."
