Li Yuechen took Gu Zen to the clinic, and watched the doctor in the clinic take a cotton swab to disinfect the wound on Gu Zen's forehead. He wanted to ask Gu Zen if it hurt, but saw that Gu Zen didn't even blink, as if being caught It's not like him to clean up the wound.

When I left, the doctor told me to pay attention to the wound and not to touch the water in the past few days, and to pay attention to the diet.

In the end, when the two of them came out, Li Yuechen was still looking at the bandaged piece on Gu Chen's forehead and muttering, "I don't know if there will be a scar."

Gu Chen turned his head and ignored him, and didn't understand why Li Yuechen cared so much about his face. After thinking about it, he tentatively defined it as a friend's concern.

"I'm a little hungry, let's have a meal together." Li Yuechen grabbed Gu Zen who was about to leave. Gu Zen remembered the nanny at home and looked at Li Yuechen and nodded slightly. After he nodded, Li Yuechen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"What do you want to eat?" Li Yuechen asked.

And Gu Chen had almost no experience of eating around here, so he shook his head.

Li Yuechen finally took him to a small restaurant that he and Song Yan often go to. The facade is not very big, but the decoration is quite antique.

Li Yuechen held the menu in front of Gu Zen, and Gu Zen pointed to a dish name on the menu.

"No, this is too spicy. The doctor said just now that you can't eat spicy food for a few days."

Gu Chen moved another finger and changed it, "No, this is too cold, it's bad for your body..."

"That's not..." Before Li Yuechen finished speaking this time, Gu Zen pushed the menu directly, without any expression on his face, Li Yuechen still felt that he was angry.

He touched his nose in embarrassment, cleared his throat and said as a cover-up: "Aren't you injured? The doctor said just now that you should keep your mouth shut. Didn't you hear that?"

Gu Zen stared at the table without looking at him, Li Yuechen was afraid that if he continued talking, Gu Zen would stand up and leave.

On his own initiative, he ordered two light stir-fries and another soup, and asked the waiter to quickly place an order.

It was the meal time, and the guests who ate together at every table in the hall were chatting in full swing, not too lively, but there was a strange quietness pervading from their table, which seemed out of place in such a noisy atmosphere.

While pondering over the sentence, Li Yuechen seemed to observe Gu Chen's reaction unconsciously, not realizing that he was not as cautious when answering questions in class as he is now: "When you are well, I will bring you to eat next time, what do you want?" Those dishes you ordered, okay?"

He pursed his lips and said, "He has a few signature dishes that are delicious, and we can order them together next time."

Gu Chen lowered his head and didn't respond, Li Yuechen couldn't judge whether he listened to his words, whether he was distracted again, or didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

Fortunately, the food he ordered came out at this time, Li Yuechen quickly filled a bowl of soup for Gu Chen and put it in front of Gu Chen.

"This soup is good, try it."

After a while, Gu Chen slowly reached out to pick up the spoon and started to drink, and then Li Yuechen filled a bowl for himself.

After the two finished their meal, it was already very late, Li Yuechen said: "Let's take a taxi to take you home, I happen to be on the way too."

Li Yuechen stopped a taxi with his hand, opened the door, and let Gu Zen sit in first.

"Where is your home?" Li Yuechen lowered his head and approached him, Gu Zen took his hand and wrote a string of characters in his palm.

"Master, Yunshan Community." On the back seat of the taxi, the lights outside the window kept flashing across the faces of the two of them, and the inside of the car was also flickering. Li Yuechen tightly held onto the Gu Chen's hand that was writing on it moved his fingers after a while and stroked the palm of his hand twice.

The taxi drove for about fifteen minutes, and when it arrived at the gate of Yunshan Apartment, Gu Zen got out of the car, and Li Yuechen waved him to go back quickly.

Immediately after Li Yuechen in the car gave an address, the taxi driver turned around and drove in another direction.

Li Yuechen, who was sitting in the car, didn't look back, so he didn't see Gu Chan standing at the door of Yunshan Apartment staring at the taxi driving him in the opposite direction, looking thoughtful.

When Li Yuechen returned home, the house was pitch black, and Qi Xinyue was not at home, so the house suddenly seemed a lot deserted. The ground and kitchen were very tidy. It seemed that the nanny should come over today.

He took a shower, went through basketball training, and ran around with Gu Chen. He should have fallen asleep as soon as he touched the bed at night, but he was tossing and turning without feeling sleepy at all. Finally, he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. .

In class, Li Yuechen looked at Gu Zen from the side. Suddenly Gu Zen turned his head and looked a little red under his pale face. His lips opened and closed towards him. Li Yuechen leaned closer and asked, "What did you say?" Then he heard Gu Zen Shen said word by word: "Li Yuechen". For a moment, Li Yuechen felt as if he had been hit by something, and the feeling of numbness and trembling spread all the way from his heart. "Call again, call me again." He looked at Gu Chen eagerly, like a big dog that just got food and greedily wants to ask its owner for more food.

All of a sudden, the world turned around, every square on the ceiling transformed into Gu Chen's face, and countless Gu Zen's mouths opened and closed, calling his name.

Li Yuechen opened his eyes abruptly, and saw the number displayed on the alarm clock on the bedside table. At 3:30 in the morning, he sighed deeply, and finally jumped up from the bed, went to the living room, got a large glass of cold water, and drank it. After going down, the hot feeling on my body went down a little.

Holding the half-empty glass, he sat down at the table in the living room in a daze, slowly pressed his cheek against the cold table, and sighed deeply.
