hickey
After Gu Yansheng was taken home by Gu Ting, his physical exhaustion and extreme mental tension prevented him from waiting until the private doctor came. He developed a high fever on the sofa in the living room, became unconscious and fainted.
His condition scared everyone in the family. Gu Ting's face changed drastically. He immediately wrapped him up tightly and rushed him to the emergency room of Zhongnao Center at lightning speed.
The lights in the emergency room were on. Nurses surrounded Gu Yansheng, giving him IVs and drawing his blood. The doctor was observing him from the side. Zhou Yuan looked at him lying on the bed, pale and fragile, covered in rashes. She felt distressed and scared.
She couldn't help but sigh and complained to Gu Ting in a low voice, "How did this happen? How could such a good weekend turn out like this? Really..."
Gu Ting had been standing silently by the bed, his lips tightly pursed, his jawline as sharp as a knife. As he assisted the nurse in changing Gu Yansheng's hospital gown, he clearly caught sight of the purple, yet still recognizable, marks on his brother's neck...
That's definitely not hives!
Shilong Town...The only one who is inseparable from Yansheng is Jiang Lin!
This realization was like a dagger, piercing Gu Ting's heart. Jiang Lin was with his brother?
Their Gu family has always treated Jiang Lin as one of their own. His parents treated him like another son, and Zhou Yuan also treated him like her brother-in-law. But he... took this "evil path" with the sound of the eaves!
Moreover, knowing that Yansheng had severe rain hypersensitivity syndrome, not only did they fail to protect him, but they also allowed him to run around in such a dangerous disaster area, even...
At this moment, the doctor came over with the newly released blood test report, his brow furrowed. "Mr. Gu, the patient's blood antihistamine and cortisol levels are abnormally high, far exceeding the safe dose. We suspect he may have increased his medication dosage in a short period of time to suppress allergic symptoms. This is very dangerous and can lead to arrhythmia, liver and kidney damage, or even more serious consequences."
Gu Ting listened to the doctor's words and looked at his brother's brows which were still slightly furrowed due to discomfort in his coma. The anger and heartache in his chest surged together, almost tearing him apart.
He clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands, but he managed to hold back his anger. Right now, Gu Ting really wanted to kill that bastard Jiang Lin...
At night, the hospital corridor became quiet. Gu Yansheng fell into a deep sleep under the effect of the medicine. His high fever subsided slightly, but his condition was still unstable. Zhou Yuan was guarding by his side, her face full of fatigue.
At this time, the door of the emergency observation area was gently pushed open, and Jiang Lin hurried in wearing a white coat that smelled of disinfectant and he had not had time to change it. His face showed fatigue after continuous fighting, but his eyes immediately searched eagerly for Gu Yansheng's bed.
When Zhou Yuan saw him, she was about to tell him the bed location, but before she could finish her words, Gu Ting, who had been sitting in the corner like a silent volcano, suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and grabbed Jiang Lin's white coat collar with such force that Jiang Lin almost staggered.
"husband!"
Zhou Yuan was startled and hurriedly whispered to stop him.
Gu Ting turned a deaf ear to him. He stared at Jiang Lin's stunned face, his eyes cold and sharp enough to kill. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You, come out with me."
After saying this, without giving Jiang Lin any time to react, he practically dragged him out of the observation area, and hurriedly said to Zhou Yuan, "Watch the sound of the eaves!"
Zhou Yuan watched the two men disappear out the door, her heart skipping a beat. The ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. She knew her husband well. He was usually calm and composed. Anything that could make him lose his composure like this must have touched his bottom line.
But there was nothing she could do now. Gu Yansheng needed someone to watch over him. She could only sigh worriedly and pray that nothing unmanageable would happen.
In the safety passage, the pale light of the voice-controlled light illuminated Gu Ting's ashen face.
"Jiang Lin!"
Gu Ting's voice was very low, but it was like the roar of a trapped beast, "I always thought you were the last person to get hurt!"
Jiang Lin staggered as he was dragged, and his body stiffened slightly when he heard these words.
Gu Ting couldn't help but punch the other person in the face, then stared at him with a look of grief and indignation, "What on earth did you do to Yan Sheng? How dare you touch him?" He pointed suddenly in the direction of the observation room, his fingertips trembling.
"You know better than me how deadly Rainy Day Hypersensitivity Syndrome is to him! You've witnessed firsthand how much pain he suffers when it attacks him! You've even protected him more carefully than any of us! But what about this time? How did you protect him?"
"You've saved him until he's lying here, comatose with a high fever and an overdose? Jiang Lin, have all your cautions gone to waste?"
Gu Ting had never liked Jiang Lin very much when he was a child. Because of the disparity in their family status, he always felt that Jiang Lin approached Gu Yansheng with bad intentions.
Over the years, he saw Jiang Lin treat his younger brother with great care and try his best to be a very considerate childhood friend. Although he was unhappy, he gradually told himself to accept this person.
But this time, Jiang Lin, who always put Yansheng's safety first, "failed to do his duty"!
He felt that all the trust he had received was betrayed, and what was even more difficult to accept was that he was with his own brother... and led his brother astray.
Jiang Lin met Gu Ting's gaze that almost burned him, and a clear look of pain flashed across his face. Gu Ting's words were like needles piercing the place he cared about most.
"Yes... I'm more afraid than anyone else that something might happen to him." Jiang Lin said, his voice hoarse, with a hint of subtle fear and fatigue. "I'm more afraid than you, more afraid than anyone else..."
He took a deep breath, his eyes not dodging, frankly and solemnly, "Also, I love him. I have never thought of hiding this from anyone, including you, Gu Ting."
This direct admission slightly dampened Gu Ting's anger.
Jiang Lin's throat churned, and the image of Gu Yansheng struggling in the rain seemed to resurface before his eyes. "When I saw him in the disaster area, enduring the pain all over his body while carrying supplies, I wanted to knock him out immediately and stuff him back into the car! But Gu Ting..."
His tone suddenly became extremely serious, even carrying a profound feeling. "You and I may have underestimated him. He's not a fragile being that needs to be locked away in a completely safe cage. He's overcome a shadow that even a psychiatrist would find difficult. He came there because he has a kind heart. We can't stop him from wanting to help others."
"Yansheng's childhood trauma triggered rain hypersensitivity syndrome, and he's been receiving psychological counseling for years, but with no noticeable results. This time in the disaster area, he took the initiative to open the greenhouse and step into the rain. Isn't this a change?"
Of course, they all know what the cost of this change is.
He paused, his voice low but clear, "My protection isn't about turning him into an accessory that can't live without me. Rather, when he chooses to be brave, I'll do my best to be his last resort and guarantee of safety."
Jiang Lin looked into Gu Ting's eyes without dodging and continued, "If you think that I'm taking a 'deviant path' by loving him and being with him... then you can come straight at me, but don't deny Yansheng's own choice and feelings."
"Love has no gender distinction. I love him. I just can't help liking him and want to spend the rest of my life with him. Although our relationship is not mainstream, it is not what you call 'evil and deviant' either."
The stairwell was dead silent.
Gu Ting's chest heaved violently. Jiang Lin's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his inherent cognition again and again. He realized that the core of the problem might not be that Jiang Lin "touched" his brother.
Rather, it is the risks and changes brought about by this change in relationship that he has not yet adapted to.
Jiang Lin's love is real, and his desire to protect is also real, but this love begins to include respect and companionship, not just protection.
