Chapter 78
Gu Yuan was stunned.
Su Zheye asked: "How can you drive like this?"
Gu Yuan did not refuse again: "Thank you."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Su Zheye took the car keys from Gu Yuan and went to the garage with him.
Su Zheye: "Which hospital?"
"The First People's Hospital in the city center."
"Help me navigate."
Su Zheye didn't want to waste time, so he asked Gu Yuan to start the navigation, and the car sped away with his foot on the accelerator.
In his previous life, Su Zheye didn't value his life very much and had played drag racing with Cheng Yansheng.
He was driving very fast, the beam of light from his headlights piercing the long night, and the sound of the accelerator echoed through the sky. At this time, Gu Yuan had no intention of correcting his speeding. He looked up at the inky black night sky with a slightly frown.
Su Zheye drove the 40-minute journey to the destination in 20 minutes, and parked steadily in front of the hospital entrance: "You go first."
Gu Yuan: "Okay."
Then he opened the door and got out of the car.
Su Zheye turned left and went to look for a parking space.
After parking the car and walking into the hospital, Su Zheye suddenly remembered that he didn't know which ward Gu Yuan's grandfather was in.
Just now, while driving, Gu Yuan called his mother to ask, but Su Zheye was concentrating on driving and didn't pay attention.
Su Zheye took out his cell phone, thought about it, and decided not to disturb Gu Yuan.
Su Zheye seldom came to the hospital, or rather, the few times he came on his own initiative in his previous life were all to accompany Xie Chengxue. He managed to get through minor illnesses, but when he was diagnosed with acquired heart disease, he was forcibly taken to the hospital by the doctor at the base.
...It is also possible that he was sent here when he died suddenly, but he was no longer conscious.
Because Su Zheye hated the feeling of being in the hospital. The smell of disinfectant lingering in his nose, the signboard flashing green light above his head, and the occasional crying and yelling from family members always made him feel inexplicably depressed.
Following the signs, Su Zheye came to the emergency surgery department.
He had heard before that falling is not scary, what is scary is the complications it can cause, such as hip fractures. Many elderly people die from complications caused by falling.
That's why Gu Yuan was so nervous and worried.
Su Zheye’s heart was hanging in the air and he never felt relieved.
This is a very famous hospital with quite a few wards. Su Zheye originally thought that he would have to search for a long time, but he did not expect to see an acquaintance just as he walked into the VIP single ward area.
Su Zheye paused. He remembered that he had seen this man at the gate of the base that time. He was probably Gu Yuan's father.
Even though I didn't leave a good impression on him.
Gu Anqing also saw him, was stunned for a second, and then asked: "Are you here with Gu Yuan?"
Su Zheye nodded: "Hello, uncle."
"Have you finished all the games?"
Su Zheye didn't expect Gu Anqing to ask this question. He thought for a moment and said, "The spring season is over. There will be Olympic training in a while."
Gu Anqing said "hmm".
Su Zheye discovered that Gu Yuan’s personality was really inherited from his father, and he was serious and stern.
When facing Gu Yuan, Su Zheye's mind was full of inappropriate thoughts for children, but when he met his father, he became inexplicably restrained.
The air was quiet for a moment, and Su Zheye spoke up: "Uncle, Gu Yuan's grandfather..."
"Nothing serious at the moment."
Gu Anqing replied: "But I don't know if there will be any sequelae as I get older."
He looked at Su Zheye: "I'll go ask Gu Yuan if he wants to stay here today. If not, you can go first. You guys have worked hard."
Su Zheye quickly said, "It's not hard."
Gu Anqing knocked on the door and walked into the ward.
The door was not closed, so Su Zheye stood sideways by the door and listened to the sounds inside.
They couldn't see each other's situation from inside or outside, but Su Zheye could imagine that Gu Yuan was probably sitting beside the bed, and his grandfather was holding his hand and speaking earnestly.
"Go back quickly. It's nothing serious."
Huo Ming's tone was very kind: "I will go to the base to find you when I am discharged from the hospital. You should train well. I am looking forward to seeing you in the Olympic Games."
Gu Yuan's voice was as calm as usual, but after listening carefully, he still sounded a little anxious: "Have you done a full body check?"
“Yes.”
Huo Yuwan said: "I was afraid too. I took your grandfather through it all. There are no problems at the moment."
No problem at the moment.
Gu Yuan asked again: "Did you also do a head CT scan?"
Huo Yuwan nodded.
"That's OK?"
Huo Yuwan: "No."
Gu Yuan was stunned.
In his previous life, the old man died of cerebral hemorrhage. The problem was discovered when they did a CT scan of his head, but despite careful precautions, an accident still occurred.
So…was grandpa’s fall not as serious this time as the last time? Did my instructions and the babysitter I hired still work?
"It's really nothing. Look how anxious you are."
Huo Ming smiled: "I'm still waiting to hold my great-grandson. Okay, go back quickly."
"I……"
“Hey.”
Huo Ming suddenly grabbed Gu Yuan's hand again: "It's rare to see you. It just so happens that you still remember Ye Yixin, who grew up with you when you were little. She has returned from studying abroad. Her mother called me a few days ago and asked if you two would like to meet."
When talking about the happiness of their children and grandchildren, the elders would always say: "Look, you stay at the base every day, surrounded by teammates, and you can't get to know girls. You know them well, go and chat with them, okay?"
Gu Yuan suddenly thought of Su Zheye.
He was too anxious before and his mind was blank, so he didn't pay attention to Su Zheye's emotions.
Now that I think about it, Su Zheye seems to be... caring and worried about me.
This realization made Gu Yuan's heart tremble slightly, and he immediately said, "No need, Grandpa. I'm too busy with the competition right now and don't want to think about these things."
"well."
Huo Ming sighed, "The child has grown up and has his own ideas. With your wooden character, when will I be able to hold my great-grandson? I won't die without seeing my grandson's wife, will I?"
Gu Yuan frowned: "What are you talking about?"
"That's right."
Seeing him frown, Huo Ming frowned as well: "I arranged a blind date for you but you didn't go. You don't even have a female mosquito around you every day. How can you expect to bring me a granddaughter-in-law?"
Gu Yuan didn't say anything.
Huo Ming smiled and patted his hands: "The girl has always been thinking about you. She asked about your situation as soon as she returned to China."
"I don't like her."
"I know."
Huo Ming pretended to be angry: "I'm not asking you to decide on it all at once. Anyway, you're on vacation, so it won't affect anything if you go and meet him."
Gu Yuan was silent again.
He shouldn't refuse both morally and logically. Gu Yuan has never been in a relationship since he was a child, and his grandparents have been worried about him in this regard for a long time.
And it may be that after this fall, Huo Ming realized that time is merciless. The older generation is very conservative and always thinks that a family is complete only after marriage. They are also worried that no one will take care of their grandchildren after they are gone, so they want to urge him to get married.
In his previous life, it was at this time that Huo Ming asked him to go on a blind date with Ye Yixin. Gu Yuan went at that time and told Ye Yixin that he had no plans to fall in love. But after all, they had known each other since childhood, so the two had always maintained a friendship.
But now...Gu Yuan has a reason to refuse.
He already knew that he liked the same sex and was pursuing his little fox, so he would reject both Su Zheye and girls.
Gu Yuan originally wanted to find a day after the Olympics to tell his family about his coming out and talk it out. He believed he could convince them.
But this accident came too quickly, and Gu Yuan was not prepared. Moreover, Huo Ming died of cerebral hemorrhage in his previous life. Gu Yuan was afraid that his body had not fully recovered, and that bringing it up now would upset the old man.
Slow down.
Gu Yuan thought to himself that he would talk to Huo Yuwan tomorrow first, and the longer he could delay, the better. In the worst case scenario, if they had to meet, he would also explain it to Ye Yixin in person.
However, when Su Zheye, who was standing at the door, heard Gu Yuan's silence, his heart suddenly sank.
Indulging in the gentleness of life during this period, he almost forgot the biggest problem in his relationship with Gu Yuan - family differences.
He was born by his mother but not raised by her, so no one cared whether he had a relationship or who he dated, but it was different for Gu Yuan.
He comes from a scholarly family. Whether it is Gu Yuan's personality or his conversation with his grandfather today, it can be seen that Gu Yuan's family hopes that he will marry a gentle girl who is of equal status... I don't know whether she is gentle or not, but at least she will not be a homosexual like me who smokes, drinks, and swears.
Gu Yuan's filial piety meant that he would never disobey the requests of his parents and relatives.
yes.
I should have thought of it earlier. I should have stayed in the stinky ditch and not hoped for the moon on the mountain top.
Su Zheye suddenly wanted to smoke.
"Gu Yuan."
Gu Anqing's voice came from the ward, and Su Zheye knew that he was going to ask Gu Yuan whether he would return to the base.
At that moment, Su Zheye suddenly felt afraid to hear his name appear in the mouths of this harmonious and happy family.
His fingertips felt cold and his limbs became stiff. He took a step back.
Took another step back.
Now he could not hear anything. He did not know how long it had been, perhaps as long as a few hours, when Su Zheye heard the door of the ward being opened.
Gu Yuan came out.
"Zhe Ye."
Gu Yuan's expression was very calm: "I want to spend more time with my grandpa, you go back first."
Su Zheye didn’t know what expression he had at the moment, but he should have concealed it well, because Gu Yuan didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
"fine."
His voice was very light: "I'll wait for you."
Gu Yuan glanced at his watch and said, "I may not be back until twelve o'clock. There are still more than two hours left. You haven't eaten yet."
Su Zheye subconsciously said: "You haven't eaten either."
"You have a bad stomach."
Gu Yuan raised his hand and stroked the side of Su Zheye's face: "Here is some food that someone sent to my grandpa. Don't worry about me."
Su Zheye opened his mouth.
"obedient."
Gu Yuan said: "If I go back late, you should go to bed first. Good night."
Su Zheye was silent for a moment.
"OK."
He said, "You should also pay attention to safety."
Gu Yuan: “Yeah.”
Su Zheye could feel that Gu Yuan was watching him from behind. He felt that his walking posture might be a little stiff, but Su Zheye didn't want to care about that anymore.
After going downstairs, Su Zheye felt his pocket and found that he had given all his cigarettes and lighters to Gu Yuan during this period.
Thinking about it now, it’s really ironic.
He walked a long way before finding a tobacco shop. Instead of buying esse, he directly bought the domestic cigarettes with the best flavor.
The familiar smell of tobacco entered his lungs, and because it was so strong, Su Zheye was choked.
But my brain suddenly became clear.
Su Zheye admitted that he liked, or rather fell in love with Gu Yuan.
She said she was worried that it would be difficult for him to drive alone, but those were all excuses. She just cared about him and wanted to empathize with him, share his anxiety, accompany him, help him, and integrate herself into his world.
However, just when he finally mustered up the courage to take this step, Gu Yuan had another reason to return to normal life.
Su Zheye took a deep puff of cigarette and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Maybe it's time to reorganize this heart and this feeling.
