It was not until the evening that Gu Ci's ward finally became quiet.
His family members have all gone back, leaving only two professional caregivers to take care of him.
For a moment, no one in the ward spoke. It was so quiet that Gu Ci felt bored playing with his phone, so he just lazily looked at the messages sent to him by others.
He has a chat group, and the members of the group are several of his childhood friends, and they have a good relationship with each other.
Knowing that Gu Ci was hospitalized due to a fracture, they had been clamoring to come and visit him, but he refused every time, saying only that they would get together at his house after he was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate.
At this moment, the messages in the group were constantly refreshing. If Gu Ci didn't pay attention, he wouldn't be able to understand what they were talking about.
Ye Xu: Breaking news! Ah Shuo hasn't been in the group chat lately because he just found a new girlfriend and has no time for us.
Song Yu: ???
Song Yu: No wonder he ignored me when I tried to contact him these past few days. Is he busy dating again?
Ye Xu: The most explosive news isn't just about his new girlfriend. You didn't know this yet, did you? He's secretly found a mature, mature woman eight years his senior. Now he's pretending to be innocent in front of her every day, making her really despise him.
Song Yu: What?
Song Yu: What's this kid's reason? He's the most mature among us, right? How dare he pretend to be innocent?
[Song Yu: @Jiang Shuo, come out and teach us guys how to act innocent.]
[Zhou Zhen: Among us, Jiang Shuo is the best at smooth talk. No wonder we've all been single for so many years, while he's the only one who's always spreading his feathers.]
Jiang Shuo: Don't think I don't read group messages. I'm really not shy about criticizing you.
[Jiang Shuo: Don't make it sound like you're all innocent boys. Why have you been single for so many years? Don't you all know the reason?]
[Jiang Shuo: Those who are aloof, those who can't get the love they want, those who are mama's boys, those who haven't figured it out yet, you can all identify yourself.]
[Ye Xu: …]
[Song Yu: …]
[Zhou Zhen: Who are you referring to as someone who hasn't gotten the hang of things yet?]
【Jiang Shuo: Process of elimination.】
Ye Xu: Hahahahahahahaha Shuo, you're so brave, actually saying that our brother Ci hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
[Song Yu: Be careful, he might catch you in a wheelchair.]
Gu Ci: ...
Why did he get dragged into this for no apparent reason?
【Gu Ci: Not getting it?】
【Gu Ci: You don’t understand.】
[Gu Ci: I just don't like the feeling of two people clinging to each other in a relationship. It has nothing to do with whether or not I'm open-minded.]
Jiang Shuo: Brother Ci, I was just saying that casually. Please don't come over in a wheelchair and catch me.
【Gu Ci: ……】
He was too lazy to talk to them, so he just turned off his phone, threw it aside and stopped looking at it.
However, I couldn't help but think about the fact that Jiang Shuo had found a mature and mature woman who was eight years older than me.
How could these two things be such a coincidence?
His grandmother thought that his brother, 34 years old, was eight years older than 26-year-old Chen Yao, and was a good match.
Jiang Shuo’s girlfriend is eight years older than him, and he and his childhood friends think she is a good match.
So, an eight-year age difference makes them a perfect match?
Gu Ci frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason, so he said to the nurse in the ward: "I want to look for Doctor Shen Yao Shen. Please go to her duty room to see if she is there."
The nurse responded immediately and walked out of the ward.
Gu Ci glanced at the progress of the infusion indifferently, thinking that he would ask Chen Yao about the infusion and dressing changes after being discharged from the hospital, and then find out her thoughts on the age difference between her and her significant other.
After all, he had to consider his brother, so that his grandmother wouldn't always try to match them up and end up wasting her time.
About three minutes later, the nurse came back alone and said to Gu Ci, "Mr. Gu, Dr. Shen has already finished her shift, so she is not in the duty room now."
Gu Ci: ...
Okay.
…
—————————
Gu Ci, who still hasn't figured it out, said: "What's the good of being in a relationship? Two people are so clingy that they don't have any space for themselves."
Gu Ci in the future: Please, Yaoyao, can you stay with me longer?
Chen Yao: No, I have a lot of surgeries scheduled and I won’t be available for the next week.
Gu Ci: The puppy is shedding tears...
P.S. I read the comments and I'm really worried you're on the wrong side of the couple, darlings. Gu Ci is the male lead, not Gu Jing! Don't get me wrong! Also, Gu Ci will grow up. He's useless now, but he will be useful in the future, and he'll be just like his brother.
