New York, Nursing Home.
It was getting dark outside, and the spacious and clean ward was lit up with snow-white lights. The light reflected on the wall, outlining the silhouette of He Sui Chen. He was sitting on a chair beside the bed, wearing a neat and well-fitting dark gray suit. His handsome face was half hidden in the shadows, and his dull expression made it difficult to discern his true emotions.
Until the thin and pale man on the hospital bed moved, He Sui Chen turned his head, lowered his head slightly, and waited for him to wake up.
In the light, the moment their eyes met, smiles of surviving a disaster appeared in their eyes.
He Yunjian had just woken up from a vegetative state. His body was weak and he could only lie down. There was warmth in his dark brown pupils. When he stared, he had a touch of warmth compared to ordinary people. He reached out to hold He Suichen's hand: "Look... I can hardly recognize you. You've matured and become a man."
Since the last time I saw him, He Sui Chen was still a handsome and elegant young man. Now he was dressed in a suit and tie, with a pair of narrow-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses on his face and nose, hiding all his emotions behind his eyes that were so indifferent that they were out of this world.
Facing He Yunjian, he was used to suppressing everything and being indifferent. He was unable to express his long-suppressed emotions. His voice was low, and it sounded like he was chatting with an old friend who had not seen him for a long time: "Didn't you dream of me during the years you were asleep?"
"I dreamed... I dreamed that you didn't strictly abide by the rules and regulations and were kicked out of Nanming Temple. I couldn't find you, and I kept looking for you everywhere in my dreams."
He Suichen's bony fingers tightly grasped He Yunjian's, with a faint smile on his face: "It seems that I have been living on the streets for seven years with you, brother."
He Yunjian spoke slowly. After a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Is everything okay at the He family?"
He Suichen replied: "Very good, a big family and a big business."
He Yunjian looked at him gently, then nodded: "Three days ago, when I woke up, I fell asleep again very quickly... Before I lost consciousness, I heard a child telling me the story of Sleeping Beauty. Was it a dream I had, or was it the child living in the hospital?"
He Suichen did not answer for a moment. Instead, in the corridor outside, the whispering voices of two nurses floated in from the half-open door:
"I heard that the vegetative patient who was just transferred to the hospital had been in a coma for almost eight years. It's a miracle that he woke up."
"I heard that the family is very rich. A lot of people came that day... The news was blocked and not allowed to be leaked."
"He has a son, right? The little boy who holds a fairy tale book all day long."
Inside the ward, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a long time.
Until He Yunjian turned his gaze to his own brother, his tone sounded very confused: "When did I have a son?"
-
The car accident that year caused He Yunjian to suffer severe brain damage and become a vegetative state that can only be maintained by machines. After sleeping for so many years, he only remembered the memories of his youth when he woke up, and remembered that he had a close younger brother, but he had forgotten many things.
The doctor conducted a full physical examination and gave the diagnosis that He Suichen had guessed.
—He Yunjian lost his memory and most of his memories in life.
Upon hearing the news, He Yuliu rushed to the hospital and lost her composure. She hugged He Yunjian and cried, "Yunjian, you were in a car accident that year... but it took away half of my life. Year after year, I ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day, hoping that you would wake up soon. I was so heartbroken."
He Yunjian was still very weak, and he forced himself to comfort He Yuliu for a while. For some reason, the memories in his mind were incomplete. Apart from clearly remembering everything between him and the brother He Suichen, even his memories of He Yuliu were a little vague.
But he recognized his aunt who had spent a lot of effort to raise him, and he was well aware of her feelings towards the He family and himself.
After He Yuliu finished crying, she lowered her head slightly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes elegantly with a handkerchief, and quickly adjusted her posture.
"Just wake up... Don't act recklessly in the future."
Seeing that He Yunjian had just woken up and had spent most of the day sleeping, he was a little tired after talking for a long time. He Yuliu wanted him to recover his energy, so he told the bodyguard to look after the ward, and said to He Suichen, "Come out for a while."
The third floor of this hospital was blocked inside and out, and no outsiders could come up.
He Yuliu pushed open the door of the stairwell, walked in and stood still, then turned around and looked at the figure following behind him: "Your elder brother has already forgotten that woman, proving that God will not allow them to rekindle their past relationship. Sui Chen, do you understand what aunt said? Don't mention Yu Siqing to your elder brother."
During the examination, He Yunjian asked about the child and who the child's mother was.
At that time, He Yuliu had just received the news and rushed to the hospital. He answered first and said that the child's mother died in the car accident that year.
In this regard, He Yuliu's attitude was very strong, and she would not allow Yu Siqing to harm her nephew: "Yu Jiafan is still young, and he is not close to his mother. You should teach him well, and don't let anything slip in front of your eldest brother."
He Sui Chen didn't say a word the whole time, until now he pursed his lips and said, "Aunt, do you think that Big Brother has lost his memory and even his brain?"
Such an excuse can only serve as a pretext for a while. Once He Yunjian recovers here, he will find out the truth himself sooner or later.
He Yuliu took a deep breath and played the emotional card with him: "Sui Chen, your elder brother finally woke up, don't let these trivial things prevent him from resting properly... Aunt knows that you are also a good child, and you are really doing this for your elder brother."
She always used this to weigh and suppress the other, but deep down, she was biased towards He Yunjian, whom she had personally raised: "For the sake of brothers, don't let a woman outside ruin your brother."
Ten o'clock at night.
He Yuliu simply stayed in the room next to the ward. She didn't feel at ease going back to the hotel. Only when she got closer to He Yun and could see him breathing on his own while sleeping at any time did she feel that it was real.
The light in the corridor was dim and cold, and it felt especially cold on the back of my hand.
He Suichen sat alone on a blue chair, his legs were too long, his long and slender hands were placed on his knees, contrasting with his cold and pale complexion. His figure, which had not moved for a long time, looked like a jade sculpture, and then there was the sound of footsteps slowly approaching.
He lifted his eyelids and saw Yu Jiafan holding a Sleeping Beauty storybook in his little hands, his big black eyes looking innocently: "Second Uncle... Fanfan, when... can you tell Dad a story?"
He Suichen raised his arms, and the little guy automatically fell into his arms, softly rubbing against his chin: "That person called aunt, aunt is so fierce."
When He Yuliu saw Yu Jiafan in the hospital, he glanced at the bodyguard coldly, indicating that he should take the child away.
This also resulted in Yu Jiafan not having the chance to tell his father the story of Sleeping Beauty today. It was only at this point that he sneaked out to find his second uncle.
He Suichen scratched his wrinkled face with his long fingers and said softly, "You have your second uncle to protect you."
Yu Jiafan smiled and said, "Auntie...Auntie, Fanfan misses her."
He was thinking about Gu Qingwu's strawberry candy, but unfortunately He Sui Chen didn't prepare anything when he came to the hospital this time. He lowered his head slightly, reached into his trouser pocket and fumbled for a while. He was thinking about what to say to coax the little guy in his arms, when a red strawberry-flavored candy appeared in front of him.
The low gaze moved upwards inch by inch.
Gu Qingwu was seen standing in front of him wearing pointed high heels, revealing her slender white ankles. Her light blue skirt was smooth and fitted, looking very beautiful, as if it gave her skin a layer of pearly luster.
The emotion in He Suichen's eyes wavered for a few seconds, and when he saw Gu Qingwu appearing out of thin air, he smiled at him: "I allow you to hug me."
Gu Qingwu traveled thousands of miles to New York and made a lot of efforts. He personally organized a meal for the director, and finally not only did he approve the leave, but he also abided by the contract and paid the crew a penalty for breach of contract.
Three days later.
I boarded the plane smoothly and arrived at the hospital.
Gu Qingwu had no place to live, so he brought a suitcase.
That night, He Suichen booked a luxury suite in the hotel next to the hospital and checked in with Yu Jiafan. He was very calm throughout the whole process, and you couldn't tell anything from his dull expression. During the period, he asked Gu Qingwu about the filming in a leisurely manner.
Gu Qingwu didn't tell him the truth and just got by with a few casual words.
After arriving at the hotel.
With a child present, Gu Qingwu was restrained and did not act coquettishly with He Suichen.
After quietly putting away the suitcase, she walked out of the cloakroom and said to him, "Fanfan, do you want to take a shower?"
He Sui Chen glanced at the little guy sitting on the sofa eating a lollipop, unbuttoned his sleeves, and whispered, "Well, I'll help him wash."
Gu Qingwu also helped out by filling the bathtub with water and getting out a large bathrobe. After being busy for a while, she turned around and saw He Suichen's slender figure squatting in front of the porcelain white bathtub. When he was bathing the child, his movements were meticulous and extremely gentle.
Contrary to his cold and emotionless appearance, He Sui Chen is essentially a lively man who is trustworthy.
Gu Qingwu knew that no one was born willing to be a lonely person in a high position.
She put down what she was doing, walked over barefoot, reached out and hugged He Suichen from behind, put her face on his shoulder, and whispered: "Since you called me three days ago, brother, I wanted to come to you immediately..."
He Yunjian's awakening is a good thing for the He family. For He Suichen, his beloved brother has finally gotten rid of the illness.
And what happens next, in this complex and complicated wealthy family, is far more complicated than that.
He Yuliu's heart was blatantly biased towards He Yunjian. Over the years, she had only treated He Suichen as a fake, a substitute, and a cold archway of the He Group.
Now that he has someone to rely on again, he will no longer care about He Sui Chen's feelings.
Instead, you'll feel that he's an obstacle.
So at this critical moment, Gu Qingwu couldn't stay in the crew with peace of mind to film. She wanted to stand by He Sui Chen's side, even if it was an insignificant existence. She didn't want to see those people in the He family only caring about when He Yunjian would recover and when he could take power again.
No one would really care about He Sui Chen, even if he was born, grew old, got sick, and died.
