Chapter 35
The two returned to the hospital quietly and stood downstairs of the dormitory building. The sky was filled with sunset glow. The sunset on the island was different every day, and it was particularly beautiful today. Smoky purple clouds floated in the sky, attracting a group of people to stop and watch.
The corridor windows were full of people, and the appearance of Qin Yao and Gu Cheng attracted the attention of several people.
The sunset glow in the sky was like a dream, and Gu Cheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He pursed his lips, feeling extremely anxious.
After walking this distance, his anger subsided. He thought that when he got downstairs, Qin Yao would say a few soft words and he would just climb down. Who knew there were so many people standing outside.
Qin Yao noticed Gu Cheng's face and smiled secretly.
Along the way, she roughly guessed what this guy was angry about, that he was angry that she had ignored him. Although what she did was not fair, Gu Cheng's silent cold war behavior cannot be tolerated.
Who told him to speak in a rude way?
A dead duck is still stubborn.
Qin Yao yawned as she looked at the sunset. "Anything you want to say? It's okay, I'll go upstairs."
Gu Cheng, who was still hesitating whether to speak or not, was furious when he heard this. After making a fuss for a long time, the girl didn't take it seriously at all.
Obviously, all she needs to do is act coquettishly and coax him.
Gu Cheng closed his eyes, spat on himself, turned around and walked away.
He walked slowly, his ears more sensitive to the sounds around him, and he would stop as long as Qin Yao called him.
But until he walked out of the hospital, no one caught up with him.
Sitting in the car, Gu Cheng pounded the back of the chair with his fist. The car engine rumbled and there was a faint smell of diesel in the car. He was in a state of confusion as the car was bumping up and down.
The banana leaves quickly retreated behind the car window. Gu Cheng hated Qin Yao for being cold and heartless and indifferent to his departure. The memory moved further back. Gu Cheng licked his lips and recalled the scene in the family compound in his head.
Qin Yao's hand was about to touch him.
He dodged.
...Isn't she angry?
A feeling of fear and loss suddenly rose in his heart. Gu Cheng bit his lip, leaned back on the chair, and felt as if a ferocious beast was rampaging in his body. He shouted, "Stop the car."
"Captain Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Cheng half-closed his eyes. Outside the window, the smoky purple clouds had all burned into a fiery red color. It was obviously a very beautiful scene, but it made him feel the melancholy and reluctance that belonged to the dusk.
Unspeakable pain and bitterness spread in my heart.
"Keep going."
In a place where no one could see, Gu Cheng leaned against the corner of the window like a frost-bitten eggplant. Darkness enveloped the earth outside the car, and the word "regret" swept through his body.
When getting off the bus, Captain Gu rolled up his sleeves and made plans to "make peace" in his head. When he returned to the dormitory, he would write a "peace plan". Isn't that just to coax a woman? How could he not learn it?
Having made up his mind, Gu Cheng got out of the car, put his legs on solid ground, and walked forward. It was dark in front of him, with only a few scattered lights not far away.
After receiving the command, Gu Cheng walked into the darkness. For some reason, three words popped up in his mind - "henpecked".
He was horrified in the darkness.
When he reached the door of the office, Gu Cheng had already composed himself. He judged that his current behavior was nothing more than ceding land and paying compensation temporarily, just like King Goujian of Yue who slept on firewood and tasted gall, waiting for the future to "defeat Wu and return", survive the probation period, and marry the girl, and everyone would listen to him.
Gu Cheng will never be dominated by his wife in his life!
Gu Cheng sneered, sat down at his desk, calmed down and read the documents for a while, then quickly wrote down the information with a pen in his hand. He was extremely focused and devoted to his work.
Political Commissar Zhou knocked on the door and said, "Captain Gu, you are here. This person is different from others. He allows you to date well and does not neglect your work."
"Unlike that old Wu, who is henpecked. His private money was turned upside down, but he is still worried and afraid of his wife."
Gu Cheng: “…”
"Captain Gu, Xiao Qin has never been angry with you, has she? Girls like to cling to their boyfriends when they are dating. Your sister-in-law was also clingy to me at the beginning, so I had to complain a lot."
Gu Cheng put down his pen, his handsome face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said expressionlessly, "I did."
Political Commissar Zhou asked curiously, "Why?"
Gu Cheng's eyes were cold: "She took the initiative to hold my hand, and I didn't let her."
"..." Political Commissar Zhou looked at him with difficulty speaking and almost choked out his breath. How could there be such a man in this world?
What man, when dating, doesn't want to have more intimate contact with a girl? The guy in front of me is weird.
"No wonder Xiao Qin is angry with you." Political Commissar Zhou shook his head. "Captain Gu, do you really like Xiao Qin? Or is it because you are old enough and you just want to marry her because you like her?"
Political Commissar Zhou felt sorry for "Xiao Qin" from the bottom of his heart. He had never met Qin Yao. In his opinion, these two men were just Xiao Qin who was too enthusiastic. They embroidered the handkerchief and took the initiative to hold hands.
"If you're just going to make do, don't ruin the girl. There are plenty of considerate men out there. She had a blind date before, was he Doctor He?"
"Maybe Xiao Qin will come to his senses in a few days and think that Doctor He is a good doctor. You, a bachelor, should still fight to the end." Political Commissar Zhou clicked his tongue twice and said a few provocative words to prevent Gu Cheng from not cherishing him.
Gu Cheng slammed the table: "Are you teaching me to be a henpecked husband?"
Political Commissar Zhou was stunned: “?”
"If I really become a henpecked husband someday, it will all be your fault." Gu Cheng said coldly.
Political Commissar Zhou: “…”
The appearance of Political Commissar Zhou made the sentences he had read that day reappear in his mind. At this moment, Gu Cheng hated his own good memory. He repeated the sentences and pictures over and over again as if to torture himself.
Whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. Unfortunately, the beautiful woman in the dream is like a cooked duck - she flew away.
When he woke up the next day, Gu Cheng's face was full of resentment.
*
Qin Yao didn't sleep well that night, and there were dark shadows under her eyes. She was so distracted last night that she didn't know what time she fell asleep.
Comrade Xiao Qin sighed in her heart. She deeply realized that Gu Cheng was becoming more and more important in her heart.
Caring is a terrible thing.
What is even more terrifying is that I am clearly aware of my own fall, sinking deeper and deeper into my emotions day by day.
"Xiao Qin, did you have a fight with Captain Gu?" Zhang Yufei asked hesitantly before leaving.
Qin Yao shook her head: "Not really."
They didn't quarrel, it could only be considered a "cold war".
"That's good. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"I was thinking about something." Qin Yao hated the flying thoughts in her head that were beyond her control. The more she thought about it, the more she reflected on herself.
She admitted that she felt a little regretful in her heart that she had ignored Gu Cheng yesterday.
What made Qin Yao even more panicked was that as she examined her relationship with Gu Cheng, she became more and more like the person in her memory.
She clearly hated her overbearing father the most, but she found herself feeling the same way in her emotions, just like how she forced Gu Cheng to wear that polka-dot apron that day and was even complacent about it.
How could she possibly become the kind of person she hated the most, self-centered and forcing everyone close to her to listen to her?
You should not become a dominant person and use your emotions to control the other person and make them compromise with you again and again just because you are worried about losing yourself in the relationship.
Qin Yao decided to change. Gu Cheng had taken the initiative to approach her many times, and this time, it was her turn to take the initiative.
After work today, she would take the initiative to find Gu Cheng, apologize to him, and then make it clear to him that compared to the attitude of "Captain Gu", she liked the way Gu Cheng looked when they first met better.
When she arrived at the duty room, Head Nurse Ge stopped her and said, "Xiao Qin, here is a letter. Captain Gu had someone deliver it this morning. Take a look."
Qin Yao's heartbeat slowed down. She took the letter from Head Nurse Ge. The envelope was intact and had not been opened. There was no name or address written on the outside of the envelope.
Head Nurse Ge raised her head and pressed her brows, a trace of worry showing in her expression. If it were any other day, she would definitely be curious about what this young couple was doing, but today she was too busy to pay attention to anything else.
Qin Yao put away the letter and asked, "Head Nurse Ge, what happened to you?"
Head Nurse Ge turned her head to look at Qin Yao, and suddenly an idea popped into her mind, "Xiao Qin, can you do me a favor?"
Qin Yao paused, "What's the matter?"
"Help me write something." Head Nurse Ge said tentatively, "Last time, regarding the self-criticism, many people said that you can write stories. Recently, I want to be published in a women's newspaper, and they asked me to write about my own deeds. How can I be so embarrassed to write this..."
Head Nurse Ge hesitated and said that the Southern Women's Newspaper wanted to publish stories of outstanding women, and the newspaper contacted her to write the article herself. If the article was well written, it could be reprinted and published in the National Women's Newspaper.
Head Nurse Ge didn't take it too seriously at first. She thought it would be fine if she just wrote the article casually. She was old enough and it didn't matter whether it was published in the National Women's Newspaper or not. So she decided to write it casually.
As luck would have it, her mortal enemy Fan Dandan called her last night and found out about this matter from what she said. She even joked, "Looking forward to seeing your glorious deeds in the newspapers, Lao Ge, Lao Ge, well done."
Head Nurse Ge was very upset.
After tossing and turning all night, Head Nurse Ge secretly made up her mind that she would write the article well and would not let her mortal enemy laugh at her.
She had a draft in her head, but she couldn't write any more after writing just a hundred words, and was heartbroken.
Qin Yao: "Shall I help you write your deeds?"
"Yes." Head Nurse Ge sighed. She didn't have much hope. Qin Yao would definitely refuse. This was not an easy job. How could an outsider be willing to take on this hot potato? It would be a thankless task.
Qin Yao's eyes moved, thinking that this was a good opportunity, very difficult and thankless, but if what she wrote satisfied Head Nurse Ge, the rewards would be huge.
One is to gain Nurse Ge’s favorability, and the other is to spread the word about her writing skills.
"Head Nurse Ge, I'll help you write it. If you have any requirements, just tell me and I'll try."
Head Nurse Ge was overjoyed: "Xiao Qin, you are really - OK, OK, come and try. I won't blame you if you don't write well. Just write it with confidence."
After settling the matter, Qin Yao made an appointment with Head Nurse Ge to have a detailed discussion at noon. She walked out of the duty room with the envelope in her hand.
In the corridor filled with the smell of disinfectant, Qin Yao tore open the envelope. In front of her was the pharmacy window with a line of people.
Qin Yao felt a little embarrassed. She wondered what Gu Cheng would write in his mind. She stuffed the white paper into the envelope without opening it. After waiting for three seconds, she remembered the "three-line love letter" that Gu Cheng had written before.
That thing is like Morse code, only a god can understand it.
So she opened it in public, and on the white paper were three lines of words:
A day changes into a season.
Carrying a thorn stick to ask for forgiveness.
The friendship between Qin and Jin.
