Lin Yao held the phone and talked to Director Li while bowing to the wall: "Director Li, I'm sorry to trouble you. I didn't know things would turn out like this..."
"I can understand this. After all, it's my girlfriend's fault that I need to take care of her," Director Li sighed, "but you're asking for a month off... There's a lot to do before the New Year, and it's not certain that we can hire people right away. No one is doing your job now, so it's really hard for me to arrange anything."
"Mr. Li," Lin Yao bowed towards the wall again. Mr. Li was a good man, and he felt a little sorry for him. "You..."
"It's okay. I'll arrange it. I'll have Jiang Yifei call you about the specific matter at hand, and you can hand it over to him."
"Thank you, Mr. Li. I'm so sorry, Mr. Li."
Guan Ze was lying on the bed, looking at Lin Yao and wanted to laugh: "What did you say?"
"What else can I say? My girlfriend is sick and in the hospital and needs help. I have to take care of her," Lin Yao sighed. He looked at the IV drip beside Guan Ze's bed and saw that it was almost empty. He pressed the pager on the bedside. "You said you were going to dinner with someone now. If I'm not here, who will press the bell?"
"I can press it myself. It's not like I have to have my limbs amputated." Guan Ze smiled. He was still a little weak, but in a good mood.
"Come on, you can sleep more than a pig now, what if you fall asleep? I've seen someone go to the hospital for an IV drip without anyone by his side, and ended up with a tube of blood drained back," Lin Yao said with a sigh, "Don't mention how cautious you are... How is your urine retention? You've used up two bottles of IV drip and you still haven't peed?"
"I..." Guan Ze frowned, "Yes."
"Is it urgent?" Lin Yao bent down and took out a urinal from under the bed.
"Urgent..." Guan Ze was stunned when he saw the urinal before he finished speaking, "What is this?"
"Urinal pot." Lin Yao tapped the pot twice with his fingers.
"I'm not in a hurry." Guan Ze closed his eyes. This thing was a little unacceptable to him.
"How about I press it, do you think it's urgent?" Lin Yao stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on Guan Ze's lower abdomen through the quilt.
"Hey, don't press it." Guan Ze frowned helplessly.
"You're in a hurry, right? You're not pretending to be in a hurry," Lin Yao raised the urinal in his hand and looked at him with a smile, "This is new, don't worry about it."
"Is the drip finished?" The nurse trotted into the ward and removed the needle from Guan Ze while looking at the urinal in Lin Yao's hand. "Do you need to pee urgently? If you do, go ahead."
"Well, how do I do this?" Lin Yao looked at the pot in his hand. He had never used this thing before. Before Guan Ze was hospitalized, he had never even seen this thing.
"Just put it on the bed and aim it. If you don't know how to do it, ask your companion to help you. They all know how to do it." The nurse packed up the IV bottle and looked at Guan Ze. "It may hurt a little when you pee, but it will be fine in a while. Just relax."
"Oh," Lin Yao responded, and after the nurse left, he lowered his voice, "Let me help you. I can't stand having someone take off your pants and pinch your little bald head."
"That person is inserting a catheter into me?" Guan Ze curled the corners of his mouth, his voice a little hoarse.
"Don't mention it. I get depressed when you mention it. That's because I wasn't here." Lin Yao went over to close the door of the ward, returned to the bed and lifted Guan Ze's quilt. "When you get better, I'll have to study carefully how a tube can be inserted into that place you said..."
"Let me do it myself." Guan Ze felt Lin Yao taking off his pants.
"Okay, this isn't the first time I've seen this thing. I know all the hard, soft, big, and small things. I know where you usually put it. I also know what you're playing with me right now. Don't be embarrassed," Lin Yao pulled his pants down to his legs, picked up the urinal and stuffed it into his clothes, "Wait a minute."
"What are you doing?"
"This pot is a little cold, keep it warm."
"It's okay, the heating is sufficient." Guan Ze looked at Lin Yao, not knowing what to say. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time someone had taken care of him like this, even the urinal had to be warmed up.
Lin Yao put the pot between Guan Ze's legs: "Do you think you will get hard if I pick up your little bald head?"
"Probably not," Guan Ze coughed lightly, "It depends on how you take it."
"I'll take it seriously," Lin Yao carefully moved the spout over, "Okay, pee now."
"Yeah." Guan Ze had actually been holding it in for a while, and Lin Yao almost made him come directly when he pressed his lower abdomen.
But as soon as he relaxed and wanted to pee, he felt a sharp pain and couldn't help but frown and take a breath: "Ah..."
"It hurts?" Lin Yao stared at his lower body nervously. It could be a headache, stomachache, arm pain, leg pain, or any other pain, but it hurt here and he didn't know what to do. He couldn't rub it. If he rubbed it hard, Guan Ze would suffocate to death. He could only hold Guan Ze's hand.
“Yeah,” Guan Ze responded, cursing in a low voice, “Fuck it.”
This was probably the most memorable time Guan Ze had urinated in his life. The stinging sensation and the feeling that he had to pee or his bladder would burst were intertwined. He struggled for several minutes before he was done.
After Lin Yao took the pot away, tidied it up and covered him with a blanket, sweat was all over his forehead.
"Hey, how can you live without me?" Lin Yao put away the urinal and lay on the bedside to wipe his sweat, "right, wife."
"That's right." Guan Ze closed his eyes.
"Call me husband."
"husband."
"Well, you're really good." Lin Yao stroked Guan Ze's face lightly with his fingers. He had never seen Guan Ze like this before. He looked a little weak and tired. "You know, you're really good now, just like my son."
"Dad." Guan Ze smiled with his eyes closed.
"Get lost," Lin Yao looked at the door behind him, leaned over and kissed Guan Ze on the corner of his mouth, "If you weren't so weak right now, I would really want to deal with you right now."
"You have to seize the opportunity," Guan Ze opened his eyes and looked at him, "by the time I get better, you'll be out of luck."
"Don't worry, there are still at least three months left," Lin Yao laughed, "Just wait."
Guan Ze's health was indeed very good and he recovered quickly. In just a few days, he was able to get out of bed and walk around the room. Lin Yao accompanied him in walking back and forth in the hospital corridor several times every day.
"This is what we'll be like when we get old, right? I'll help you take a walk or something, and we'll chat while we stroll." Lin Yao looked at Guan Ze happily.
"Why are you supporting me instead of me supporting you?" Guan Ze laughed.
"Nonsense, you are older than me." Lin Yao clicked his tongue.
"My health is better than yours. You go to the gym once every ten days or half a month," Guan Ze squeezed his hand, "I feel like I can be discharged from the hospital soon."
"It's been less than a month."
"Your family will be worried," Guan Ze thought for a moment, "why don't you go back first?"
"I..." Lin Yao frowned. He was indeed afraid that his mother would worry. Every time he talked to Lin Zong on the phone, his mother would not come over to say anything to him. Lin Zong would just convey the message. But he knew without thinking that his mother would definitely be worried. But if he were to go home now, he couldn't let go of Guan Ze. "Wait a few more days. You can just get out of bed now, and I haven't given you the enema yet."
Guan Ze was still thinking about how to get Lin Yao to go back. When he heard this, he stopped and looked at Lin Yao: "You're not refusing to go back just because you fucked me, are you?"
"Why?" Lin Yao glanced at him. "Just for this, I've been waiting for several days. The doctor said that if you don't move today, I can fuck you."
"Then you'll be allowed to fuck me this afternoon. After you're done, go back and don't let your family worry."
Lin Yao admitted that he always had all kinds of strange, shameless, and stinking fantasies about Guan Ze. For example, when Guan Ze was lying on his side on the hospital bed, he was holding a small suppository and suddenly wanted Guan Ze to lie flat and lift his legs up...
"Don't think about it. If you don't do it, I'll let Xiao Li do it." Guan Ze sighed.
"Let him try to make one," Lin Yao came over and slapped him on the butt, then lifted the quilt, "Here it comes."
To be honest, Lin Yao felt that he was quite familiar with Guan Ze's body, but it should be limited to the front. Only when they took a shower together would he hug Guan Ze from behind and rub him a few times. Now when he pulled down Guan Ze's pants, his hands were trembling a little. He didn't know whether it was because he was nervous or too excited. If it weren't for the fact that he was facing the door of the ward and the bed was covered with white sheets and quilts, he really had the illusion that he should take off his pants and press on him.
"You..." Guan Ze was a little worried, "Are you okay?"
"It's fine, don't move." Lin Yao opened the bottle of enema and supported Guan Ze's legs. "I'm going in."
"Um."
Lin Yao slowly pushed the thin mouth of the bottle inwards, then stopped: "Does it hurt?"
"Lin Yao," Guan Ze smiled, "Are you enjoying it?"
"It doesn't hurt, I'll start now," Lin Yao began to squeeze the bottle, "Does it feel good?"
"You are hopeless."
"Let me hear you hum, quick." Lin Yao looked at the bottle that he was about to squeeze empty.
"Hmm..." Guan Ze smiled and lowered his voice to cooperate, "Ah..."
"Fuck, how can you be so shameless?" Lin Yao slowly pulled out the bottle and helped Guan Ze pull up his pants. "Don't move. The nurse said to keep this position for ten minutes."
"Don't you want to listen?" Guan Ze didn't move, "Is it over?"
"Yeah." Lin Yao threw the bottle into the trash can next to him.
"You can't, so fast."
"The nurse said to hurry up..." Lin Yao said halfway before reacting, turning around and pointing at Guan Ze, "If I didn't see that you were a patient, I would straddle your head and cum all over your face right now, do you believe it!"
"Keep your voice down," Guan Ze laughed for a long time, "What are you shouting about?"
"Wife," Lin Yao suddenly remembered something and ran to the bedside, getting close to Guan Ze's face, "Were you hard when you woke up in the morning?"
"Hard, what's wrong?" Guan Ze looked at him in confusion.
"It's okay, just asking." Lin Yao was a little embarrassed.
"Just inserting a tube won't make me lose my erection," Guan Ze tapped him on the forehead, "I'm really worried about you. You'll know when you try it after you're discharged from the hospital."
"I still have a score to settle with you after you're discharged from the hospital, so don't be so proud too soon." Lin Yao glanced at him.
Lin Yao felt that he had never been so tired since he was a child. In fact, Guan Ze's health had recovered well, and he had a skilled and responsible companion, so it was not too hard. But when Lin Yao looked in the mirror, he was still surprised that he had lost weight in half a month, and he didn't look as handsome as he did now. Fortunately, his mood was always happy.
"I can't go home," Lin Yao said to Guan Ze as he came out of the bathroom, pointing at his own face. "My mom will lose her memory if she sees me like this."
Guan Ze didn't say anything. He stared at him for a long time before waving at him: "Come here."
Lin Yao jumped to the bed, leaned on the edge and put his face in front of Guan Ze: "What's wrong?"
"Go get a haircut," Guan Ze rubbed his hair, "I really don't like seeing you like this."
"Isn't it like this when taking care of patients? Mainly because I change places at night and sometimes I can't sleep well," Lin Yao scratched his hair, "My hair isn't that long, so don't be dissatisfied with other people's hair just because you're bald yourself."
"Go ahead, the main thing is to let someone touch and pinch you to relax you," Guan Ze patted his face, "otherwise your mother will probably take back her decision after seeing this."
After Lin Yao left the hospital, he planned to get a haircut as Guan Ze requested to relax, and buy some clothes. He only brought one set of clothes to change into, because if he didn't buy a few more sets, he would fall behind.
It's colder here than at home. Lin Yao hasn't left the inpatient building for several days. Now he suddenly comes out. He is so cold that he jumps and scurries on the snow. He jumps into a taxi as soon as he sees it.
He asked the driver to take him to a shopping mall, where he randomly grabbed a few pieces of clothes. Lin Yao didn't have too many requirements for what he wore. He was not as vain as Guan Ze. As long as the clothes fit him well, he would be fine.
The whole mall was a sea of red, and the radio kept announcing something about New Year's sales. Lin Yao felt very excited when he heard it, but he didn't know why he was so excited. When he finished buying clothes and walked out of the mall, he saw people selling New Year's goods all over the street, and then he suddenly realized that the New Year was almost here!
This was the first time he forgot that the New Year was approaching.
"Damn." Lin Yao bought a bright red double-breasted cotton vest and prepared to let Guan Ze wear it when he returned to the hospital. He was happy while taking out his cell phone to look at the calendar. Calculating the time, Guan Ze would be able to be discharged from the hospital in about half a month. After going back to recuperate for a few more days, he would basically be at the end of the year.
He raised his head and took a deep breath. It was almost Chinese New Year? His first year with Guan Ze
Lin Yao couldn't help but smile foolishly at the tree next to him for a while. He thought that if he hadn't found Guan Ze, he might still be alone at home, or in Guan Ze's house, or in Guan Ze's car, and he probably wouldn't be able to celebrate this New Year. But now, he is by Guan Ze's side, even if Guan Ze has to spend this New Year in a wheelchair, he is content.
Just when he was having fun, his cell phone suddenly rang. Lin Yao took a look and saw it was Guan Ze's new number.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yao quickly picked up the phone.
"Where is it?" Guan Ze asked over there.
"I just came out of the mall after buying clothes and I'm going to get a haircut. I'm telling you, I didn't realize that it's almost Chinese New Year. The streets are so busy..."
"Come back," Guan Ze interrupted him, "Don't get your hair cut yet."
"You're taking a walk, silly boy," Lin Yao said, but he immediately stood by the roadside, ready to take a taxi back to the hospital, "What's up, did you miss me, wife?"
"Yeah," Guan Ze responded, "your mother and your brother are here."
"What!" Lin Yao shouted, startling several people who were about to take a taxi. They stepped back a few steps and saw a car coming. He opened the door and jumped in before the car stopped. "My mom and brother are here? In the ward?"
"Um."
"Where's my dad?" Lin Yao told the driver the name of the hospital and asked nervously.
“No.”
"Wait for me to come back, don't talk nonsense, you have to please my mother and brother, do you understand? Does your mother-in-law know about this, daughter-in-law?"
"… Know."
Although Lin Yao felt that Guan Ze, who would not feel pressured no matter who he dealt with, did not need such special instructions from him, this was after all his mother and brother, and they were meeting under such unexpected circumstances. He was really nervous. Why did his mother suddenly come here? Not only did Lin Zong not stop her, he even came with her! What did this mean
When Lin Yao rushed into the ward carrying a bunch of clothes bags, he saw Lin Zong leaning against the window and his mother sitting in the chair he usually sat on, talking to Guan Ze with a smile on her face. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, my son is back." When the mother saw him, she jumped up, ran over, hugged him, and rubbed his face hard.
"Mom, why are you here? I didn't tell you which hospital I was in." Lin Yao felt that his face was rubbed by his mother so hard that he couldn't speak clearly. He quickly hugged his mother and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
"After all, it's such a big operation, we have to come and see it," Mom kept staring at his face, pinching his face and pulling his hair, "If I had told you in advance, you would definitely not let us come."
“It’s such a long way…” Lin Yao felt a little sad. He made such a big noise and made his mother worried that she came all the way here.
"It's not far. We didn't run here." Mom looked at what he had in his hand. "You bought clothes? What is this?"
Mom took out the double-breasted vest from the bag. Lin Yao glanced at it sheepishly and said, "I bought it for Guan Ze."
"Oh," Mom couldn't help laughing, she turned to Lin Zong and said, "This is nice, so festive, how about I buy you one too?"
"Don't," Lin Zong tried to hold back his laughter, "Give Lin Yao another pair of matching outfits."
"Guan Ze, try it on and see what it looks like." Mom handed the vest to Guan Ze.
Guan Ze looked at the vest with an expression that was hard to describe. He looked at Lin Yao and asked, "What do you think?"
"Put it on," Lin Yao walked to the bedside to help him put it on, and whispered, "I bought it for you to wear for fun. How could I know that my mother was coming? Put it on quickly..."
Guan Ze reluctantly put on the vest over his hospital gown and put his hands into his sleeves: "Are you satisfied?"
Lin Yao couldn't stop smiling at him: "Oh, I'm so satisfied with my wife..."
"Lin Yao," Guan Ze quickly raised his voice, "I think I haven't delivered one dose of medicine yet."
Lin Yao almost bit his tongue. Although his mother didn't say anything against it, which was considered as tacit approval, he still felt uneasy. He didn't know how his mother would feel after hearing the word "wife". He rushed out of the ward: "I'll go to the nurse's station and get it."
When Lin Yao got the medicine from the nurse station and turned back to the ward, he saw Lin Zong walking out of the ward.
"Where are you going?" Lin Yao looked at him.
"I'm not going anywhere," Lin Zong leaned against the wall, "I've lost weight."
"Well, I didn't sleep well, but I'm not tired." Lin Yao touched his face.
"Mom ran away from home, not to visit me. Don't tell Guan Ze about this for now. After all, she is still recovering." Lin Zong said in a low voice.
"What?" Lin Yao's eyes widened, and he asked in a low voice, "Running away from home? Why?"
"I had a fight with my dad... It wasn't really a fight, he just said one sentence," Lin Zong sighed with emotion, "What a status."
Dad has always doted on Mom, and his status changes with Mom's mood, but Lin Yao's focus is not on these. He heard something else: "My dad knows?"
"Um."
"What did he say?"
"He said," Lin Zong patted his shoulder, "I raised this son in vain."
"Bullshit!" Lin Yao was anxious, "What do you mean it was wasted!"
"Tsk," Lin Zong was happy, "You said exactly the same thing to mom."
"You're still happy. How can you be happy about this?" Lin Yao frowned. Dad was a tough man. It was one thing for him to spoil his mother and son, but it was another thing for his son to be with a man. Lin Yao felt a little uneasy.
"Lin Yao, you have to handle this matter by yourself this time," Lin Zong poked Lin Yao's chest with his finger, "You have to deal with this hurdle of your father by yourself."
"Don't worry, I can handle it, but not by myself," Lin Yao sniffed, "Guan Ze has to come with me. I'll tell him when he's able to be discharged from the hospital. He'll have to share the responsibility with me if anything happens."
