Chapter 57
57
When going downstairs, Wang Zhi deliberately walked slowly and stood behind to peek at Gao Bochong.
Gao Bochong, leaning on a cane, walked steadily on flat ground, with only a slight ups and downs as he descended the stairs, revealing some clues. As if sensing Wang Zhi's gaze, he suddenly turned around and extended his hand to Wang Zhi: "Zhizhi, can I trouble you?"
Wang Zhi asked, "What?"
"Could you please help me up?"
Gao Bochong frowned slightly, and Wang Zhi hurried forward and held his hand: "Is your leg hurting again? Otherwise, you should go back and rest first."
"No need." Gao Bochong bent down, leaned on Wang Zhi's shoulder, and whispered, "Wife, don't send me back."
……Wow.
Listening to Gao Bochong speaking in such a low and pitiful tone, Wang Zhi inexplicably felt an electric current running through his spine.
His ears instantly turned red, and he tried to straighten his shoulders, supporting Gao Bochong and saying, "Then...then tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
His earlobes were as red as blood, and the skin outside was smooth and cool. If you put it in your mouth, you can feel the hot blood under the thin skin, which is extremely soft.
Gao Bochong stared at her for a moment, then pressed his body further towards Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi staggered under his pressure and almost lost his balance. Gao Bochong put his arm around his waist and said, "Okay. Thank you, my wife. Without you, I can't even take care of myself."
…
Isn’t Gao Bochong really good at pretending to be pitiful?
What’s even more terrifying is that knowing that Gao Bo Chong was pretending to be pitiful, why would he still take the bait?
Wang Zhi was puzzled to think that in order to please humans, dogs had spent thousands of years evolving flexible eye muscles to act pitiful, but Gao Bochong had learned it all by himself, as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened, and he quickly learned to use this pitiful tone to please himself.
So cunning...
But, it’s not bad.
Wang Zhi raised the corner of his lips and helped Gao Bochong down the six floors. It took them a long time to walk down. When they reached the first floor, Wang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help saying, "You're so heavy."
Gao Bochong said: "You said that before."
When was it before?
Wang Zhi couldn't remember clearly, but Gao Bochong opened the car door for him and gestured for him, "Get in."
After Wang Zhi got in the car, he said to Gao Bochong, "My mother lives in a nursing home where family members can't stay with her. Do you want to sleep at home with me tonight, or go to a hotel..."
Wang Zhi suddenly stopped.
He suddenly remembered when he had said that Gao Bo was respected.
It's in bed.
He was tortured to the point of despair by Gao Bochong, who even pressed him down, kissing him and asking him, "Baby, why are you ignoring me?"
He exerted a little force and felt his lower abdomen being poked hard, bulging out a subtle arc. Turning his face to the side, he could see his knees were folded on both sides of his cheeks. He could only close his eyes and say intermittently: "You... you are so heavy."
Gao Bochong smiled complacently, and shrugged his waist twice more. Wang Zhi's already intermittent speech became even more broken...
Gao Bochong saw that Wang Zhi suddenly stopped talking, so he reached out and touched his cheek, feeling the heat rising under his thin and smooth skin.
Gao Bochong asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
Wang Zhi glared at him, but it was a soft, affectionate glare that made Gao Bochong's heart flutter, and he wanted to kiss Wang Zhi. But Wang Zhi sat upright, deliberately moving to the side to keep his distance.
Gao Bochong smiled and said, "Where do you want me to live?"
Wang Zhi snorted: "Hotel."
Gao Bochong said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to order it..."
"You stay in a hotel by yourself!" Wang Zhi decided to take advantage of Gao Bo Chong's easygoing nature to get back at him. "When you're a little more gentle, come stay with me again."
Gao Bochong looked at him, and Wang Zhi suddenly felt a little guilty, but still pretended to look at Gao Bochong angrily.
Gao Bochong said, "Wife, I am a patient."
He changed the subject so quickly that Wang Zhi couldn't keep up: "...So?"
"Don't abuse patients." Gao Bochong took his hand and kissed the inside of his wrist. "Baby, if you think I'm too heavy, you'll be on top from now on."
The car stopped in front of the sanatorium and the door opened. Gao Bochong got out first with a smile on his lips, looking very satisfied. He bent down and said something to the car. After a while, Wang Zhi slowly got out of the car. After closing the door, he looked at himself in the glass and straightened his wrinkled collar.
Gao Bochong said: "Wife, can you..."
"No." Wang Zhi said coldly, "I will never help you again!"
Gao Bochong is really good at pretending. I feel sorry for him, but he was just in the car...
Wang Zhi couldn't think about it anymore, otherwise he felt like he would explode with embarrassment. He put the back of his hand against his face, trying to calm his boiling face. Seeing Gao Bochong's look of relishing it, he couldn't help but kick Gao Bochong's cane.
Gao Bochong's hand slipped, and although he stabilized it immediately, it still shook a little.
Wang Zhi had already walked away as if nothing had happened.
He was tall and slender, with extremely long legs, and his proportions were so good that he seemed unreal, not being real. But he suddenly turned around and made a face at Gao Bochong.
Gao Bochong's heart beat faster. He strode forward, grabbed Wang Zhi's hand, and interlocked their fingers.
Wang Zhi felt a little pain from his grip. She looked at him and saw that he slowly relaxed a little. Wang Zhi was satisfied and whispered to Gao Bochong, "I came back this time because there was a problem with the hospital's equipment. It was a false alarm. The doctor thought my mother had a serious health problem, but fortunately it wasn't."
When Gao Bochong had previously researched Wang Zhi's information, he had only looked at his personal details. He had only briefly mentioned his family and hadn't delved into the details. At the time of their wedding, Wang Zhi had simply said his mother was bedridden and couldn't attend. Gao Bochong assumed he was being perfunctory, not wanting his family to attend their wedding, so he didn't force it.
It was not until Wang Zhi pushed open the door of the ward and looked at the woman on the bed that Gao Bo Chong realized that Wang Zhi was not making excuses.
"My mother was in a car accident and is in a vegetative state... She's been lying here for so many years."
The woman on the bed lay there, looking calm and composed. Although she was a bit thin, she still had beautiful features, and she looked about eight points like Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi sat down, gently took his mother's hand, and carefully placed it under the quilt: "Mom, I brought Bo Chong back to see you. Do you remember, I told you yesterday that I'm married, and my husband treats me very well. He's handsome, rich, and steady. See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Wang Zhi said, curling his eyes, and said to Gao Bochong, "I heard that some vegetative patients are like they are asleep, and can vaguely sense changes in the outside world. I don't know if my mother is like that. Anyway, when I talk to her, she can't scold me for being long-winded."
His tone was light, and Gao Bochong gently placed his hand on his shoulder, but it was difficult for him to comfort him. He could only say, "Don't be sad."
No matter how much sadness there is, it will dissipate over the years, leaving only deep regret.
Wang Zhi rubbed the back of Gao Bochong's hand. "I know, I'm not sad. My dad was sick at the time, and she took care of him alone while also earning money to support me. Later, my dad passed away, and I was admitted to middle school. I thought she could relax a little, but she ended up in a car accident... Sigh, sometimes I think, if she was a little more selfish, it would be better. She's so beautiful, if she didn't take me with her, she would definitely be able to live a good life."
It was a very cold winter at that time. He forgot to bring his keys and sat in the stairwell with his homework on his knees, hoping to finish it early so that he could do more housework for his mother.
The voice-controlled light flickered, and he heard hurried footsteps. He thought it was his mother coming back, but he got such terrible news.
The compensation wasn't much, and he saved and saved, and the school applied for a subsidy on his behalf, but it still wasn't enough to cover his mother's medical expenses. The desire for money was ingrained in him from such a young age, and everything he did thereafter was centered around money.
Wang Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and the circles around her eyes were slightly red, very faint, and could be ignored if one did not look carefully.
But Gao Bochong stared at him deeply, taking in every expression in his eyes, and then at the right time, he hugged him tightly: "I will be with you from now on."
Wang Zhi buried his head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "If you hadn't come, I wouldn't be sad either."
He walked a long way alone. Even if he had not met Gao Bochong, he had earned enough money for his mother's medical treatment, allowing her to lie here and be well taken care of. She looked clean and comfortable, as if she was asleep.
He had already forgotten all the hardships he had experienced, but when Gao Bochong held him in his arms, he suddenly felt aggrieved.
Wang Zhi closed his eyes and thought to himself, if only you had appeared earlier.
At the same moment, he heard Gao Bochong say, "I wish I had met you earlier."
Tears fell all at once, just like a person in the desert, walking forward alone, and suddenly having a companion by his side.
My heart is full. With a home, I have ties.
Wang Zhi buried his head deeper, not wanting Gao Bochong to see his tears. Gao Bochong just gently stroked his back patiently and said softly, "I'll have someone arrange for Auntie to be transferred to another hospital so that you can visit her more often."
Wang Zhi's attention was finally diverted when he heard this. He glanced at his mother with a touch of emotion, but ultimately shook his head. "She doesn't want to leave... She keeps saying she wants to stay here with Dad. If I take her away, she'll definitely be very unhappy."
Gao Bochong did not insist and just said, "Okay."
Wang Zhi also calmed down and said, "I'll go talk to the attending doctor."
The attending physician had been here for many years and was familiar with Wang Zhi. The two chatted for quite a while. The doctor also told Wang Zhi that the nurse who had been taking care of his mother was going to resign and that a new nurse would be found.
Wang Zhi was a little worried.
The caregiver who takes care of his mother is very responsible, so Wang Zhi has been giving her salary increases over the years. Now that he wants to replace her, he really doesn't know where to find a new one.
Forget it, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain.
Wang Zhi put her mind at ease and pushed open the door with a smile: "I'm back, husband, let's go back first."
Inside the room, Gao Bochong was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down, not knowing what he was doing. Wang Zhi approached and saw that Gao Bochong was actually trimming his mother's nails.
He was very tall, and his hands were larger than those of ordinary people. The normal-sized nail clippers in his hands looked like small toys. He was very focused, probably because he didn't do such things often, so he seemed to be particularly cautious, even a little clumsy, which was rare to see.
Wang Zhi burst out laughing, but afraid of disturbing Gao Bochong, he quickly shut his mouth and walked over quietly.
Gao Bochong didn't look back. After trimming the last finger, he slowly put his hand down and turned to smile at Wang Zhi: "Are you done talking? How was it?"
"It's okay..." Wang Zhi said, hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth, "It's a bit troublesome. The nurse quit, and I have to find a new one."
“Is there anyone suitable?”
Wang Zhi shook his head, and Gao Bochong said, "Then let me help you find it?"
Wang Zhi's eyes lit up: "Is it okay? Would it be too much trouble for you?"
"Childish." Gao Bochong said, "Didn't you call me husband before? Why are you so polite now?"
Wang Zhi smiled sheepishly: "Thank you, husband."
In the evening, the two of them had a simple meal. Wang Zhi originally wanted Gao Bochong to sleep in a hotel, but Gao Bochong said, "Just stay at home."
Wang Zhi said: "The environment is not very good."
But Gao Bochong said, "I want to see the place where my wife lived."
Wang Zhi had nothing to say.
What's going on? Why is Gao Bo Chong always saying sweet words?
Although he didn't know whether this could be considered sweet talk, he was still very happy when he heard it.
Am I too easy to please?
Wang Zhi walked silently along the road, and thought carefully about it, and felt that it was not his problem.
The main reason is that Gao Bochong gave too much.
Didn't he say before that he would give me shares? How much?
I was so excited at the time that I didn't really listen. Now Wang Zhi recalls it, and vaguely remembers there was a 12...
One hundred and twenty thousand?
It shouldn’t be that little, right?
Wang Zhi was racking his brains to recall the unit behind the number when he suddenly heard someone shout, "...Wang Zhi?"
Wang Zhi subconsciously turned around and saw someone running towards him. He was surprised and delighted and said, "I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you!"
The man had a handsome face. He was over 1.8 meters tall, strong, and his clothes showed that he came from a wealthy family. In such a small town, he was very conspicuous.
The moment he saw him, Wang Zhi's expression immediately turned cold.
He watched the man run towards him. On his unfamiliar face was pure joy. "You don't remember me? It's me, Kang Cheng. We were high school classmates. You even saved me."
