Mr. Nice Guy is really nice
City B has sunny skies during the day, but the sky becomes gloomy in the afternoon when people are about to get off work. The ignorant wind blows the green plants on the street to the sides.
[Yansheng, I'm in the coffee shop next to your research institute, remember to come! ]
Gu Yansheng lowered his head and looked at the chat interface carefully. Someone he had never chatted with before suddenly added him through the classmates group and asked him out for a meeting. He pursed his lips and thought for a while.
【OK. 】
He took off his white coat and hung it up. The door of the locker room was pushed open. His colleagues who were leaving get off work together were making plans for weekend activities. At this moment, their cell phones rang at the same time.
Wang Bo: [Notice, Xiaomei and Zhou He will be working half a day overtime on Saturday. We have a new drug trial volunteer joining us. We expect to finish in half a day. Thank you for your hard work! (Bow)]
"No way, why are you doing this to me? I've already made an appointment with my girlfriend!!!"
Zhou He screamed in despair, his wonderful weekend was ruined by this sudden notice.
"It's okay. Xiao Gu was also assigned to work overtime like this last time, and he didn't complain."
Hearing his name being called, Gu Yansheng smiled with his eyes curved, but Zhou He rolled his eyes at him and cursed, "He likes to work overtime, so everyone should be like him? He smiles all the time, and I don't know what he's thinking!"
"What are you barking at?"
Old Chen slapped him on the back of the head. Zhou He was unconvinced and wanted to retort, but Gu Yansheng said, "However, I can ask Wang Bo to let me take over. I don't have any plans on Saturday, so I can work overtime."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou He was stunned for a moment. The curse words were still on his lips, but Lao Chen smiled helplessly and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "You are such a good man, you don't have any temper at all."
"I'm really fine, Xiao Zhou, do you want to change?" Gu Yansheng's eyes were too bright. Zhou He lowered his head and scratched it twice, mumbling "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Gu Yansheng took the bag out of the cabinet with a smile, then took out his phone and told their leader in the group that he was willing to take over the job and work overtime on Saturday.
Mr. Nice Guy still lives by the mentality of not exacerbating conflicts if things can be solved properly.
In the exquisite coffee shop, the air conditioning was turned up high, and the light from the crystal chandelier softly cast a shadow on the bone china cups and plates. Gu Yansheng had just picked up the cup when Fan Zhong's tearful voice came crashing down on him:
"The sound of the eaves... What should I do?" Fan Zhong clenched the teacup tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force. "My mother... The Second Municipal Hospital found out that there's something growing in her head... The doctor said it's a tumor, and the location is very bad..."
He sniffed hard, tears finally falling onto the tablecloth. "They can't cure it. They suggested we transfer to another hospital and find the best neurosurgeon..."
Gu Yansheng's hand, holding the cup, froze in mid-air. The warmth of the cup's rim still lingered, but his heart felt heavy, as if pounded by tears. Although he hadn't interacted much with Fan Zhong, hearing about the misfortune of his former classmate's family still grieved.
He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Fan Zhong. His eyes, which were naturally curved with innocence, were now filled with genuine worry and sympathy.
His overly empathetic personality caused the corners of his eyes to turn slightly red, making his eyes look even more wet, like some small animal that couldn't find a home and urgently needed comfort.
Those eyes perfectly capture Gu Yansheng's nickname, "Mr. Nice Guy." They possess a naturally non-aggressive softness and sincerity, making it difficult to say "no" to them. Combined with his fair skin, the refreshing youthfulness of youth, and his perpetually fluffy, soft black hair, he exudes an air of being easygoing and trustworthy.
"Aunt Fan..." Gu Yansheng's voice softened unconsciously, and he instinctively comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry, there will always be a way."
Fan Zhong spoke incoherently, spouting complex medical terms. Despair enveloped him like a gray mist. "...Yansheng, I know Jiang Lin and you are very close. He works as a neurosurgeon at the Zhong Brain Center. Please...please help me, please! Save my mom!"
The three words "please" accurately struck Gu Yansheng's "unable to refuse" nerve. He looked into Fan Zhong's bloodshot eyes, which contained a naked, almost collapsed plea.
"Jiang Lin..."
In the past, I promised others things that I could do, but this time it involved... Jiang Lin...
"Jiang Lin has performed similar surgeries. I saw the report in the Zhongnao Center's newspaper. He's my mother's only hope. Yansheng... I can't add him on WeChat. I've asked other people, and they all say it's difficult to find a bed for Jiang Lin, especially since he seems to be teaching part-time at the medical school of University B lately, and his surgeries are decreasing. I... I really have no other choice..."
Yes, in the eyes of his classmates, Jiang Lin has always been jokingly called Mr. Social "Insulator"!
Fan Zhong was too excited and grabbed his wrists with both hands. Gu Yansheng came back to his senses and hurriedly broke free from the other party's restraints. Goose bumps appeared on his arms exposed to the air.
"I...I may not be able to convince him. After all, he is the professional in treating patients. Fan..."
"Please help me, Yansheng. I really don't know who to turn to. He was always very nice to you in school. The class monitor said that you persuaded him to attend last year's class reunion. Can you please help me?"
Fan Zhong's eyes were filled with uncontrollable sadness. The good man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try my best..."
These words were like a bright light that instantly illuminated Fan Zhong's world, and his shining eyes almost burned Gu Yansheng.
"Really?! Yansheng! I knew I came to the right person! You really are..." Gu Yansheng didn't hear the grateful words that followed, but felt that the invisible burden on his shoulders had become heavier.
Gu Yansheng clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white. After coming out of the coffee shop, he did not go home but drove directly to the most upscale boutique supermarket in the city center.
When pushing the shopping cart around the fresh food area, he had a clear goal - to go straight to the imported beef ribs in the refrigerator with beautiful texture and equally beautiful price. Jiang Lin loved to eat this. Carrying the heavy bag of ribs, he also picked up some organic vegetables that Jiang Lin preferred.
The residential complex where Jiang Lin lived had strict controls on outside vehicles and personnel, but Gu Yansheng's license plate and person had long been registered as relatives by that insulator at the property registration office.
The apartment layout of one unit per floor suited his quiet habits very well. Gu Yansheng pressed the fingerprint and the door opened. He naturally took out the pair of slippers that belonged to him. Just as he changed his shoes, a fat, short-legged Corgi ran over from the living room and circled around his legs several times.
"Xiao Fei, have you eaten yet?"
Gu Yansheng put the dishes on the table and squatted down to stroke the dog's head. The soft fur seemed to indicate that Jiang Lin had taken him to take a bath.
“Woof woof…”
The lights in the living room were not on, and the person on night shift was still asleep. Gu Yansheng put his hand to his mouth and made a "hush" sound, then got up and went to the kitchen. He was very familiar with the kitchen furnishings and cooked with ease.
The aroma of beef ribs made the Corgi happy and it kept barking. Gu Yansheng wanted to close the glass door of the kitchen, but at this time, Mr. Insulator, who had just woken up and his hair was still a little messy, appeared in the dining room.
Jiang Lin was more than half a head taller than him, with a tall and slender figure and a frame that was a circle larger than his. He had the kind of physique that looked thin when dressed and absolutely attractive and powerful when undressed. Whenever they stood together, Gu Yansheng always felt as if he was shrouded in his cold shadow, and his aura was suddenly less imposing.
"Are you up?"
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Lin walked around him, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water and drank it. He was thirsty from the sleep he had.
"Tsk, when can you break the habit of drinking ice water?"
They discussed this habit for a long time, but Jiang Lin always ignored them. Gu Yansheng didn't want to talk about it anymore. The beef ribs were already stewed. He picked up two pieces and put them on Xiao Fei's special plate. He took it out and put it on the ground. "Be good, little dog, eat first."
“Woof woof…”
"Hehehe." Gu Yansheng touched the Corgi's head. Suddenly, the person behind him snorted, then lifted his neck with one hand and pulled him up. "Who said you are a puppy?"
Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes and moved very close. The scent of soapberry on his body mixed with the sleep-inducing aromatherapy in the room made Gu Yansheng a little dazed.
Innocent eyes drooped, thick eyelashes cast a small shadow. Jiang Lin frowned, distanced himself, and then opened the glass door of the balcony. A gust of damp wind blew in.
It looks like it's going to rain...
