For Gu Xiao, it was not his body that supported him until this moment, but his essence. Search: \(\\\\) to watch fine literature for free
But for so many years, almost no one or anything can capture his spirit, until today—when he heard that fool decisively say "follow me to the hospital", a crack finally appeared in Gu Xiao's stubborn spirit.
After making the last phone call and fully explaining the follow-up to the work, Gu Xiao leaned against the back seat of the taxi and closed his eyes.
His right hand was tightly held by Zhang Siyi, as if it was his guide, the source of his strength.
When he arrived at the nearest hospital, Zhang Siyi took the initiative to help Gu Xiao register, take him to the emergency room to wait for a doctor, see a doctor to measure his temperature, accompany him to draw blood, hang saline...
For the first time, Gu Xiao discovered that the "child" in his eyes is also a man who can be depended on, and the feeling of relying on the other party is not as difficult as he imagined.
"39.8°C!" The two of them were sitting in the injection area, Zhang Siyi still had lingering fears when he remembered the body temperature that the doctor had just measured for Gu Xiao, and stared at him with an exaggerated expression, "I once had a fever of 39.2°C in junior high and my brain fainted. Oh! Thanks to your high temperature, you are still holding on until now, and you are not afraid of being burned out!"
Gu Xiao reassured him with a hoarse voice: "The temperature was not so high in the morning, and it feels like it suddenly went up after vomiting."
Zhang Siyi gritted his teeth and said, "It's all to blame for that damn President Li, you said that you were not feeling well and told you to drink!"
Gu Xiao sighed and said, "If this were another occasion, I wouldn't drink with him..."
"Then why do you still drink it?" Zhang Siyi also found it strange, Gu Xiao is not a character who will compromise with others casually, especially that Mr. Li is so blatantly blackmailing him, with Gu Xiao's poisonous tongue, he can go back in two or three sentences. .
Gu Xiao replied nonchalantly: "You performed very well this morning."
Zhang Siyi was quite happy to hear Gu Xiao's approval, but, what does this have to do with drinking? Could it be that Gu Xiao was drinking with President Li because he was happy for him? Wait, no!
"You... shouldn't it be for me?" Zhang Siyi asked with wide eyes.
Gu Xiao didn't care, he just smiled lightly.
Zhang Siyi said anxiously, "Why!"
Gu Xiao glanced at him, seeing his self-blame and frantic appearance, he couldn't help holding his hand, and explained in a low voice, "Siyi, the report in the morning went really well, but before the contract was signed, No one knows what the variables will be. Don't look at the lunch, just have a casual meal. I used to meet several young architects in X courtyard. They did a good job in design, but they couldn't eat at the dinner table. This is no fun. Whether or not you can have a good relationship with Party A at the dinner table will sometimes directly affect whether the contract can be signed or not, and whether the conditions can be negotiated well... "
Hearing Gu Xiao coughing twice, Zhang Siyi hurriedly helped him calm down.
Gu Xiao smiled and continued: "If it's my own project and I meet a Party A who forces me to drink when I'm sick, I won't drink with him, we want to be friends with Party A. , to maintain the basic respect between people, but not to underestimate and obey orders."
Zhang Siyi nodded desperately, that's right, even if those people are the fathers of Party A, they can't be regarded as grandchildren!
Gu Xiao said again: "You wrote in your sketch that you want to be as good as me, then I will only tell you this sentence, Siyi, we strive to be good, but to give ourselves more choices. When you walk on the road of architecture, you will gradually understand that the most difficult thing is not fame and fortune, but freedom, that you can do whatever you want.”
Zhang Siyi: "... um."
Gu Xiao turned his words and said, "But this world is not that ideal, so sometimes we have to learn to compromise, just like I mentioned to you about Tao Fei, the business executive, and Lao Jiang, you know. Why did Lao Jiang give up building to open a restaurant?"
Zhang Siyi: "Isn't it for feelings?"
Gu Xiao: "He is not simply for his feelings, but also because he can't compromise with the world. In this world, those who are too strong are easily broken, those who are kind and soft are undefeated. When he treats design, his temper is even more stubborn than Tao Fei's. Not willing to make a little concession, so he can't mix in the existing market at all."
After listening to Gu Xiao's detours, Zhang Siyi still wanted a clear answer: "So you compromised with that President Li because of me?"
Gu Xiao finally gave a "hmm" and said, "The last project in City C died aborted, I know you've always been uncomfortable. The party A of this project is quite good, especially the one who has the right to make decisions. What's more, you and Tao Fei have performed so well in the early planning stage, and there are so many good signs. I don't want to make both sides feel bad because I don't drink that glass of wine, and bury a trace of uneasiness for future cooperation matters. ."
Zhang Siyi was in a complicated mood. He didn't expect that a glass of wine that seemed simple to him would make Gu Xiao think so deeply and so much.
Gu Xiao turned his head to look at him: "I just held you down too. You always act on impulse. Is it suitable for you to come out and stop the wine for me? What name do you use to drink for me?"
Zhang Siyi curled his lips and said, "I can tell him that you are not in good health, and I will drink it for you."
Gu Xiao shook his head and sighed: "If you really do that, aren't you trying to tell that Mr. Li to stop making things difficult for me, but from his point of view, is that making things difficult? What he said is what he learned from socializing all the year round. Bad habit, he may just be really excited when he drinks too much, and he can't control his sense of proportion. In his opinion, he may look down on me by drinking with me. If you come out, where will you put his face?"
Zhang Siyi was speechless when asked.
Gu Xiao: "I called you to have dinner with me today, just to let you experience this kind of occasion once more. You just immersed yourself in the meal and performed the best."
Zhang Siyi: "…"
Gu Xiao patted the back of his hand and said, "Okay, didn't you get drunk because of a cold? Don't think about it too much."
Zhang Siyi gave him a sad look: "I see."
Seeing a new patient coming here with a hanging bottle not far away, Zhang Siyi hurriedly took off his coat to cover the two clasped hands, and said, "Don't talk anymore, just rest for a while."
Gu Xiao smiled at him for two seconds, then closed his eyes and fell asleep relaxed.
Zhang Siyi saw that he was so weak and still had the energy to talk to himself for so long, and his heart ached to death.
Gently holding Gu Xiao's hand under his clothes, Zhang Siyi suddenly had a strong urge in his heart - he really wanted to become stronger.
Only this time, not for himself, but for Gu Xiao.
He remembered the oath and promise Gu Xiao made when he confessed, saying that no matter how much wind and rain there is in front of him, Gu Xiao will try his best to cover him.
At this moment, this is what Zhang Siyi desperately hopes he can do. He doesn't want Gu Xiaochong to always be in front. He is also a man. Although he is younger than Gu Xiao, he doesn't want to be the one who is taken care of all the time. He also wanted to protect Gu Xiao, share the pressure for him, and shield him from the wind and rain.
This is what it feels like to fall in love with someone, as if suddenly there is a fatal weakness, and suddenly there is an armor to charge.
The three bottles of salt water hung up for three hours, during which Tao Fei called Zhang Siyi again to announce the good news, telling him that the contract had been signed, and that Party A’s people paid a deposit of 300,000 on the spot, and then Mr. Li knew that Gu Xiao was now After being in the hospital, he seemed to feel a little self-blame, and added 50,000 to the total amount, and also gave a time limit for the second report.
Ah, the hotel fee can be reimbursed! ~\(≧▽≦)/~
Zhang Siyi looked at Gu Xiao who was still sleeping, resisted the urge to wake him up, and chatted with Tao Fei again.
Tao Fei cared about Gu Xiao's situation and said that Gu Xiaoming would have a good rest for two days on the weekend the day after tomorrow. If he was free, he would also come to visit and celebrate with Zhang Siyi by the way.
After hanging the salt water, Gu Xiao also woke up, and Zhang Siyi immediately told him the good news.
Gu Xiao looked at the eye of the needle on the back of his hand, and said, "I can make an extra 50,000 yuan by visiting the hospital, isn't this bitter tactic effective too?"
Zhang Siyi pinched his arm angrily.
Gu Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said quickly, "I'm just joking."
Zhang Siyi glared at him: "If this is considered a bitter trick, then I would rather not have the fifty thousand yuan." gd1806102
