In the spacious and brightly decorated principal's office, three people sat opposite each other.
The principal knew that they had something to talk about, and after having the assistant serve a pot of hot tea, he turned around and left, leaving the space for a few people.
Su Jinyu was sitting on the single sofa, with Gu Peilang on the left, he held the man's hand tightly, so pale that his lips pursed nervously.
"Doctor and Pei Lang know each other?" After a cup of hot tea, he finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask since just now.
Dr. Stark nodded and looked at the man beside him with a look of nostalgia.
"That seems to be five years ago, right?"
Compared to his nostalgia, Gu Peilang obviously didn't want to mention too much.
"Sorry, my lover is ignorant and caused trouble to the doctor. If he said anything offensive, please don't take it to heart."
Su Jinyu listened to Gu Peilang calling him "lover", and there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, but she took it back before she heard the following words.
Stark shook his head: "No no no, Mr. Su is a very interesting person. He and I... um... we hit it off."
Gu Peilang lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.
The old man's eyes fell on his lap covered with the blanket, and suddenly said, "Do you mind if I look at your leg?" After speaking, he paused, then continued, "Mr. Su came to me today for this reason. thing."
Su Jinyu felt that the hand he was holding was stiff for a moment, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the other party.
Gu Peilang was silent for a moment, and then raised his head calmly: "The doctor should know that things that didn't come to fruition five years ago will not happen in five years."
"That's not necessarily true." The old man's thumb and forefinger rubbed the stubble on his chin and smiled meaningfully.
Su Jinyu clenched the man's hand tightly, looking at him eagerly, the anticipation in his eyes almost burned him.
"Pei Lang..."
Gu Peilang looked at him calmly, a huge boulder was heavy on his chest, faintly shivering.
"Just let the doctor take a look... okay? Even... even..." Su Jinyu couldn't say what happened next.
He didn't know that the two had known each other five years ago, and he didn't know that Stark had already pronounced the end of the man's sentence at that time. If the result of this examination was the same as the previous one, what should he do? What should his Pei Lang do? He made him experience despair again...
"If that's what you want, I promise you."
Gu Peilang looked at the person in front of him, his voice low and calm.
He liked him for many years, many years. From the moment he decided to promise the other party to stay, he knew that he would never be able to refuse the person in front of him.
As long as you want, as long as I have, I will give you...
Su Jinyu listened to his words, and curled the corners of his lips, but tears fell unconsciously.
Gu Peilang raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from his face. His voice was helpless and gentle: "But you have to promise me that no matter what the outcome is, you mustn't be sad."
Su Jinyu nodded.
"When you go back, obediently apply the medicine, and don't play with your temper."
Su Jinyu nodded madly and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, I promise you, I promise you all."
Gu Peilang then curved his lips, and then turned his head to look at Stark.
"What do you think?"
The old man squinted: "I have a friend in the city hospital, let's go there."
Gu Peilang nodded.
The group soon arrived at the hospital.
The inspection process is very fast, but the waiting time for the results is extremely long.
Su Jinyu and Liu Qi stood in the corridor, looking at the closed door in front of them, walking back and forth anxiously.
As soon as the door opened, he was the first to rush up.
The man in the wheelchair looked pale, Su Jinyu squatted in front of him and held his hand carefully.
"How... how?" Because he was nervous, he couldn't even speak.
Gu Peilang shook his head.
Su Jinyu's face was instantly pale as paper, and his mind went blank.
Stark in the room came out with the inspection report in his hand, looking at the silence of the two, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"Doctor..." Su Jinyu raised his head and looked at him blankly, with the last hope in his eyes: "There must be hope... Right... You once cured a person who was paralyzed in bed for ten years..."
Stark frowned: "The two of them are in different situations, and... that person is not cured by me strictly."
The last glimmer of hope was also extinguished, and Su Jinyu only felt that his eyes were black.
Gu Peilang firmly held his hand: "It's alright, Ayu, it's alright."
Su Jinyu shook his head, his eyes were scarlet.
"But you can really give it a try."
At the moment when Su Jinyu's tears burst out, the old man suddenly spoke.
Su Jinyu raised his head with a "shak".
Stark: "You Chinese medicine practitioners have always been a powerful and mysterious existence in the medical field, um... Many problems that Western medicine cannot solve can be solved in their hands..."
The old man spoke a lot, mixed with a lot of unclear Chinese, and finally he looked at the two young people in front of him and said, "The paralyzed patient I took over was an old Chinese doctor in your city A. Healed... you can go to him, maybe there is a chance."
"Doctor, do you know where he is?" Su Jinyu held Gu Peilang's hand with constant force, her voice trembling.
Gu Peilang also looked up at the old man in front of him.
"I just met him by chance. The man has a temper... weird... However, I have the contact information of the patient, you can ask."
The extinguished hope rekindled, and Su Jinyu almost cried with joy. He held the piece of paper with the phone number on it, like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of life-saving driftwood.
"Doctor, really, thank you!" After Liu Qi pushed Gu Peilang away, Su Jinyu turned to face the old man in front of him and bowed deeply.
Dr. Stark looked at the man in front of him, smiled and waved his hand, then looked up in the direction Gu Peilang left.
"You really love him."
Su Jinyu got up and looked at the person, those beautiful eyes were full of joy and love.
"Yes, I love him."
Gu Peilang waited in the car for a long time before he saw Su Jinyu coming out of the hospital door.
The man strode to the front of the car, opened the door, sat in, and plunged into Gu Peilang's arms with a cold body.
Gu Peilang reached out to catch him, his warm hands touched his hot face, his eyes full of pity.
"Liu Qi, let your brother go to Gu's house and wait."
Liu Qi in the driver's seat nodded and took out his mobile phone.
Su Jinyu raised his hand to grab his hand, put it on the lips and kissed it, and looked at the person in front of him with bright eyes with a smile.
"Pei Lang, there is still a chance..."
Gu Peilang looked at his smiling face, his eyes slightly sour.
He hugged the person in his arms tightly, his voice hoarse: "Well, there is still a chance."
Maybe this time, he really can have happiness...
