Chapter 16: Soft-hearted people seem to like it more.
"I'm awake." He wasn't very awake to begin with, but with him so close to him, he felt more awake than if he had put Tiger Balm under his nose.
Fu Huan stepped back to a safe social distance between them: "I bought breakfast, you can eat some first."
Gu Shiying deliberately said politely to him: "Well, it seems like I'm bothering you again."
Fu Huanwei stared at him calmly: "You are my roommate, there is no need to be so polite to me, Gu Shiying, you are being very distant."
Gu Shiying felt that he seemed a little angry, so he smiled at him. What he thought in his heart was that this estrangement was exactly what he wanted, otherwise he didn't know whether Fu Huan would become more demanding. The other party had considered praying for him to become gay, so this had to be taken seriously.
After breakfast, Gu Shiying finished the remaining IV drip. After the IV drip, he was basically fine. As long as he followed the doctor's instructions, there would be no problem. After all, he was young and had a strong recovery ability.
Gu Shiying asked the squad leader for a day off and asked the doctor for a sick leave certificate.
Before leaving the hospital, Gu Shiying went to the bathroom first, and Fu Huan waited for him in the lobby.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Gu Shiying. Fu Huan was worried that his diarrhea had not stopped yet, so he was about to go find someone when he saw him walking towards him with a four or five-year-old child in hospital gown.
Fu Huan's eyes fell on Gu Shiying holding the child's hand: "Whose child is this?"
Gu Shiying himself was also distressed: "When I came out, he suddenly rushed to me and held my hand tightly. He didn't say anything when I asked him, and his expression was dull." He was probably a child with some minor mental problems.
Fu Huan: "Then send it to the service desk. It should have run away from the ward."
Gu Shiying: "Yeah."
Although Gu Shiying agreed with Fu Huan's decision, he didn't let go because the child had been conveying this feeling to him while holding his hand, which made people feel sad.
【Mother. 】
【Mother. 】
【Mother. 】
Gu Shiying was most afraid of this kind of affectionate voice, but he didn't want to make the child sad, so he squatted in front of the child and asked, "Do you want to hold this brother's hand?"
The child tried hard to look up at his other brother. When Gu Shiying thought that the child might have to lean back to see Fu Huan clearly, Fu Huan squatted down in front of the child.
He didn't show any dissatisfaction, but his expression was so indifferent that it was hard to tell what emotion he was showing.
Fu Huan glanced at Gu Shiying and said, "I'll carry you to the front desk to find someone."
Gu Shiying came out of the bathroom and looked at the map: "The service desk is at the main entrance."
The emergency room and the routine outpatient clinic are separated. The place where Gu Shiying received an IV drip last night is close to the door of the routine outpatient clinic, and it is convenient to take a taxi. They originally wanted to go out through this door, but they didn't expect a child to appear halfway and stop Gu Shiying's steps back to school.
The child was also well-behaved. He didn't say anything, but just looked at them with his big, rolling eyes. His skin was extremely white, and when Fu Huan held him in his arms, he looked even smaller and light, not even as heavy as the basketball he usually held in his hand.
The two took the child to the service desk, and the volunteers said they would help find the child's parents.
But when Fu Huan was about to hand the child over to the volunteer, the child hugged his neck tightly, extremely reluctant, with a pouty mouth, red eyes, and tears falling from his big eyes.
Fu Huan could have handed the child to the volunteer forcefully, but he looked at Gu Shiying and said, "He doesn't want to."
Gu Shiying was soft-hearted. He really didn't like the sight of a child crying, so he compromised and said, "Why don't we stay here and help him find his parents? I've taken the day off anyway."
Seeing that the child remained silent despite their attempts to comfort him, the volunteer assumed he was disabled. "Then please, two young men, stay with him for a while. We'll broadcast a message looking for him and have security check the surveillance footage. If they can't find him, we'll call the police."
The hospital has a professional security team, so Gu Shiying and Fu Huan just need to wait.
The volunteers took the three of them to the lounge where there was water. Gu Shiying poured a glass of warm water for the child.
The child knew that his two brothers would accompany him, so he didn't cling to Fu Huan's neck and was happy to sit on the chair, but he just didn't say anything.
Fu Huan: "Can't speak or don't want to speak?"
Gu Shiying: "Maybe something happened at home? Little boy, are you waiting for your mother?"
As soon as the word "mother" came out, the child finally felt some emotion other than not wanting to be separated from them, but still did not speak.
Fu Huan: "He reacts to the word mom."
Gu Shiying: "He doesn't look like he has any major problems. He's very tender and well-fed. He's well-cared for at home."
Fu Huan: "We'll know when his parents come."
They had just explained to the volunteers where the child was found, and they could find him simply by looking back through the surveillance video. The hospital's surveillance cameras were ubiquitous, and the security office located the child's department and his parents in less than half an hour.
While waiting, Fu Huan took the child to the bathroom.
The two of them waited quietly. Gu Shiying even took the time to reply to Zhang Zhi's message, telling him that he had gone to the hospital late at night due to acute gastroenteritis.
Zhang Zhi: You are too unlucky. We are all fine, but you were the only one who was hospitalized.
Gu Shiying nodded vigorously in his heart: I’m wondering if I should find some time to go and worship.
Zhang Zhi: Sure, let’s go next weekend. I want to go and ask for my marriage partner!
Gu Shiying: Do you know which temple I can go to?
Zhang Zhi: What? Did that person who has a crush on you attack you? Did she do something outrageous?
Gu Shiying raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Huan secretly. This was far more terrifying than the wrath of both humans and gods. In fact, Fu Huan had never done anything inappropriate to him, and had even helped him time and time again. If it weren't for this sudden supernatural power of mind reading, he would not have been able to know Fu Huan's secret thoughts about him until graduation. It was so secretive that it made him tremble.
Gu Shiying: It’s a little worse than attacking me.
Zhang Zhi: How bad is that?
Gu Shiying: It’s so annoying.
Zhang Zhi: How disgusting the other party is! It seems he has a bad character.
Gu Shiying: Not really. Anyway, I’m upset and really want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhi didn't even notice that Gu Shiying said "he", he just thought it was a typo.
Zhang Zhi: Why don’t you really find a girlfriend and keep hanging around her.
Gu Shiying: But I don’t have a girl I like.
Zhang Zhi: There are so many beautiful girls in our school, are you really not interested in any of them? Are there no high school classmates you like or have never been attracted to?
Gu Shiying thought about it carefully. His high school life could not be said to be very ordinary, but his interactions with female classmates were indeed very dull. There were girls who confessed their love to him, but he had no impulse to like them, and he himself had never liked any girl.
Seeing that he was slow to respond, Zhang Zhi said again: If a woman doesn’t work, then find a man!
Gu Shiying was shocked when he saw this bad idea. Just then, a volunteer came to take a break and look for them. The child's parents also came.
The person who came was a white-haired grandmother, probably in her sixties. This was completely different from what Gu Shiying had imagined. He thought it would be the child's father or mother who came to pick him up.
The old man kept thanking them.
Grandma said, "Thank you for helping me find my child."
Gu Shiying: "You're welcome."
Fu Huan picked up the child from the chair and placed him in front of his grandmother.
Grandma took the child's hand and said, "Guoguo, say thank you to your brothers."
It turns out the child's name is Guoguo.
This time, Guoguo really looked up at his two brothers, and his eyes seemed to be really saying thank you.
Grandma sighed and said, "Thank you so much. I'm sorry for taking up your time."
"It's okay, it didn't waste much time. I'm glad that Guoguo is okay. Goodbye, Guoguo." Gu Shiying squatted down and waved to Guoguo.
But when grandma was about to take Guoguo away, he suddenly remembered Guoguo's most urgent thoughts.
"By the way, grandma, does Guoguo miss his mother? He reacted when we mentioned her."
In fact, after spending half an hour together, I also felt that Guoguo had some minor mental problems.
Grandma's originally grateful expression paused slightly. She just looked at Guoguo, sighed, and took Guoguo away without saying anything.
Before leaving, Guoguo looked back at Gu Shiying and Fu Huan.
Gu Shiying pursed her lips. Her grandmother's silence said it all. Every family has its own problems.
Seeing that Gu Shiying didn't move, Fu Huan patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Gu Shiying: "Yeah."
The two of them had to pass by the front desk to leave the lounge, where two volunteers were chatting in low voices about Guoguo's family.
"I remember that child being quite pitiful. The accident was so severe that he lost both his parents overnight. When his father brought him to us, he was already dead. His mother tried to save him for an hour, but he eventually passed away. He was covered in blood. I heard that his mother protected him, so he only had a few minor scratches. Perhaps because of the severity of the accident and seeing his parents die before his eyes, the child became withdrawn and has never spoken since."
"Yes, it's really pitiful. His grandmother is old and lives on a meager pension. Her health is not good either."
The two sighed for the tragic fate of others, but work soon made them forget about these things, and they turned them into gossip that fell into the ears of others.
Gu Shiying paused, and Fu Huan stared at him without blinking, noticing his emotional changes but not disturbing his thoughts.
After they left the hospital, Gu Shiying suddenly said, "I want to buy some toys for Guoguo. Do you want to go?"
Fu Huan nodded and agreed with him: "Okay."
When they were waiting for Guoguo's parents to arrive, they found out which ward Guoguo was in.
There is a nice shopping mall near the hospital. Gu Shiying didn't know what Guoguo would like, so considering his age, he bought him some educational toys, puzzles, Transformers, and the excavator, which is the favorite among children nowadays.
Fu Huan paid the money before he could pay.
Gu Shiying didn't take advantage of him: "We'll each have half."
Fu Huan knew his character: "Yeah."
The two of them returned to the hospital with the toys and found Guoguo's ward.
Fortunately, they arrived in time. Grandma was changing Guoguo's clothes. They were preparing to be discharged from the hospital today.
Gu Shiying walked over with the toy in hand: "Guoguo, brother is here again!"
Guoguo's eyes changed and seemed to brighten a little.
Grandma Lin: "Why are you here?"
Gu Shiying: "We felt that we had a connection with Guoguo, so we bought some toys for him."
Grandma Lin: "How can this be so embarrassing?"
Gu Shiying: "Are you going to be discharged from the hospital?"
Grandma Lin: "Yes, I just went to handle the discharge procedures. I wasn't paying attention and Guoguo ran out. Luckily I met you."
Fu Huan: "We drove here, we can take you back on the way."
Grandma Lin: "But we live quite far away."
Gu Shiying: "Then how are you going to get back?"
Grandma Lin: "Just take the bus."
Fu Huan: "It's okay, I'll take you there."
Grandma Lin didn't refuse again.
The two of them took the toys back to the car. Fu Huan picked up Guoguo in one hand and held the toy in the other.
Gu Shiying snatched the toy away: "Let me do it."
Fu Huan did not try to grab it back, but used his other hand to help Grandma Lin carry the packed daily necessities.
Gu Shiying: “…” It turned out that she didn’t even want to argue with him.
Grandma Lin was so moved that she was at a loss for words: "You guys are really, oh, such a bother for you."
After getting in the car, Gu Shiying sat in the back seat with Grandma Lin and Guoguo.
Fu Huan asked him, "How about I take you back to school to rest first, and I'll take them back."
Gu Shiying: "I'm fine, no need, just send them back."
Fu Huan knew that Gu Shiying would not change his decision once he made it, so he didn't mention it again.
Along the way, Gu Shiying kept chatting with Grandma Lin. Grandma Lin did not complain, but told them a lot of interesting things about Guoguo in the past.
The lively and cheerful Guoguo used to be, but now she is autistic due to a car accident. But Grandma Lin recalls the past with a smile, which is more sad than her scolding of suffering.
Grandma Lin and Guoguo do not live close to each other. It takes half an hour to drive there when not in rush hour, and at least an hour to take the bus.
They helped the two carry their things into a bungalow of about 60 to 70 square meters. Grandma Lin wanted to keep them for a cup of tea, but Gu Shiying and Fu Huan left because they had classes in the afternoon.
On the way back, I was exhausted from feeling uncomfortable last night, and I fell asleep in the passenger seat not long after getting in.
Fu Huan slowed down the car and when he stopped at one of the traffic lights, he turned his head to look at Gu Shiying.
Gu Shiying fell asleep, and his hand on the seat belt involuntarily slid down. Seeing this, Fu Huan held his hand and placed it lightly on his thigh to avoid waking him up.
[Although he's a silly and soft-hearted person, he's very cute, and I think I like him even more.]
What Fu Huan didn't know was that when he lowered his head and shook Gu Shiying's hand, the latter's eyelids trembled slightly.
