Ten Years

Chapter 12: Discourage

Views:

The winter sun is still dazzling, shinning and arrogantly pushing away the thick clouds. Not long ago, many experts posted articles on the health column of news newspapers. The topic of how to avoid smog has recently turned into a way of health preservation.

This is a rare good day in winter. After the morning rush hour, the traffic on the road was not as congested as in the early morning. Jian Jie drove almost smoothly all the way, and it didn't take long for him to drive back to the parking lot of the community.

It was cold and bleak outside, and the heater was turned on in the car with limited space. When the heat and cold combined, the car windows were covered with fog.

Jian Jie found his own parking space, parked the car skillfully, picked up the medicine bought for Jane's mother and was about to get out of the car, his eyes glanced at the co-pilot's fruit basket.

Standing in the corridor of the hospital, she smiled and said to him that this was the person who followed the ceremony, the thorn in Jane's heart.

This thorn beat with the beating of his heart, and each stroke was a real pain.

Jian Jie couldn't remember how he took it, let alone how he got into the car. The gift red fruit that he got in advance was placed in his co-pilot, like a timed bomb, which was about to explode. Bomb him beyond redemption.

In an instant, the body that he pretended to be strong was shattered into ashes in front of the cheap fruit basket. In the empty and dark parking lot, Jane held his breath, picked up the fruit basket, got out of the car and walked to the trash can, He fell over with all his strength.

The muffled sound echoed in the parking lot. Jane's eyes were reddened, and she gasped for breath. The trash can was rusty and motionless, and the cheap fruit basket broke. The one was more tenacious, and rolled down the concrete to his feet.

This fall seemed to break away his nostalgia for Gu Yan.

In the long river of time, he tried hard and persistently to find Gu Yan, and when he really found it, Jian Jie realized that the reason why he was so persistent to Gu Yan was because he wanted to know the reason why Gu Yan left in the first place, and wanted to ask why, I wanted to hold back the secret I kept in my heart, and told him firmly.

Even after ten years, I still can't forget you.

The rebellious and self-willed person in his high school days was irreplaceable in Jian Jie's heart, but it happened to be that person who left without giving him an explanation.

When that man sat there calmly with him, and told him about his brotherhood in a tone that he never missed, Jane felt like a miserable tramp.

Gu Yan was unfamiliar with him between the lines, his tone of voice and eyes were full of avoidance of him, Jian Jie covered his eyelids with his hands sadly, his heart ached to the point of suffocation.

——

The ward where old man Zhang lives is on the third floor, a four-person room. When Gu Yan followed the room number given to him by the nurse to find it, it happened to be in time for the doctor's rounds.

Before coming up, I heard the nurse say a bunch of professional terms at the nurse station. Gu Yan picked and picked and roughly understood what the nurse meant.

Old man Zhang suffers from myocardial infarction, a disease that can happen to ordinary elderly people. Aunt Liu and old man Zhang live close to each other. If it wasn’t for that arrogant parrot barking for a long time last night, it is estimated that Aunt Liu would cry after sleeping until dawn. It wasn't an ambulance that came.

Through the door of the ward, Gu Yan looked at the old man Zhang who was lying in the innermost part of the room, with a heart rhythm detector attached to his chest. His lips were still a little purple, his face was pale, and he was listening to the doctor with half-open eyes.

"Hey, who are you??"

Gu Yan was waiting for the doctor to finish his rounds, and was about to go in to have a look, when suddenly a nurse behind him patted him on the shoulder.

The cat-like and thief-like Gu Yan was taken aback, turned around, and came face to face with the puzzled lady nurse.

Seeing the nurse behind him whom he hadn't seen just now, Gu Yan thought of words: "The patient's... friend in me."

"Four people, whose friend is it?" The nurse frowned, wary of Gu Yan: "This is the cardiology department, and this ward is full of elderly people over fifty years old. Are you a family member? Or a friend?"

"Friend." Gu Yan said, turning around and pointing at Old Man Zhang through the small window of the ward door: "The one in the innermost place, Old Zhang, is my landlord."

"Then you know him, right?" the nurse asked.

"I know." Gu Yan nodded: "Very familiar."

"Familiar." The nurse thought for a while: "Well, I'm the head nurse in charge of these wards. You can accompany me to pay the bill first. After the patient was sent last night, I haven't been able to contact my relatives. Our hospital is doing its best. I have tried my best, and now this patient owes medical expenses, and we can't accept it without paying, so you just came, so let's pay in advance."

Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then looked back through the small window on the door.

Old man Zhang was dazed, his thin body was wrapped in a loose hospital gown, he looked at the doctor dully, and didn't notice the movement outside the door.

Gu Yan fumbled for the wallet in his pocket, frowned and asked after thinking, "How much?"

The nurse took Gu Yan to the nurse's station and checked it on the computer: "The hospital can't contact the family members now, so they can only treat conservatively. The patient's heart is not very good. If possible, he needs a heart bypass operation. After the rescue last night, the patient I’m still strong, now I’m prescribing the medicine and the detector, and the hospitalization expenses don’t add up to much, more than 38,000, and today’s medical expenses haven’t been counted.”

Gu Yan let go of the wallet in his pocket, opened his mouth to say something, and closed it again.

The nurse sighed: "Since you are not a family member, then you should also find a way to contact him and ask his relatives to pay the fee, or if you think the old man is pitiful, please pay for it first. If you don't pay the fee after tonight, the patient will be discharged from the hospital." .”

"I'll pay." Gu Yan pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a smile: "I'll make a phone call, but I don't have enough money."

The nurse nodded and watched Gu Yan take out the phone that looked like iron from his pocket.

Gu Yan pressed a few buttons, and the phone suddenly vibrated a few times in his hand, and then the screen went black instantly.

The scene was awkward for a while, and the air was instantly silent.

Gu Yan took it for granted, turned around and said to the nurse, "Do you have a phone, lend me it."

The nurse regretted asking the man in front of her for help. Regardless of his appearance, he actually has no money. She pointed to the public phone next to the nurse's station regretfully, and said, "Dial zero before dialing the number."

There was only one person Gu Yan could find. When Lin Xiaotian received the call, he felt worried. What happened in the guild hall a few hours ago was still fresh in his memory. Why did Gu Yan enter the hospital in such a short time

Thinking that there was something wrong with Gu Yan, Lin Xiaotian didn't listen to the phone. One second, he was thinking of breaking up with Gu Yan, and the next second he didn't change his clothes. He drove straight to the hospital in his pajamas.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lin Xiaotian ran upstairs sweating profusely. The dark blue silk pajamas he was wearing looked very eye-catching, and what was even more eye-catching was the army green cloth slung across his shoulders. Bag.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiaotian stood firm, bent over to support his knees, and panted suddenly.

Gu Yan hid the emotion in his heart, and pointed to the nurse who had been waiting for him to pay the fee just now: "Pay the money."

Lin Xiaotian was in the fog, took off the big army green cloth bag, put it on the platform with a slamming sound, and wiped his sweat with his hands: "How much?"

"Fifty thousand." Gu Yan said.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaotian said as he took out five bundles of banknotes from the cloth bag, and pushed them to the nurse: "Count, worry, I didn't bring my card."

"It's not me." Gu Yan scraped the tip of his nose with his hand.

"I think what's wrong with you." Lin Xiaotian threw the cloth bag to Gu Yan, took two steps back and sat on the waiting chair in the corridor, his whole body relaxed, as if paralyzed by water.

The nurse stared at the five bundles of money in front of her, her eyes widened, she hadn't recovered from Lin Xiaotian's appearance.

"Pay the previous money first, save the rest, and transfer the money from it when you need medicine." Gu Yan carefully warned: "Don't tell the patient, just say that his son paid it."

"What's the situation?" Lin Xiaotian asked after recovering.

"I'll tell you later." Gu Yan tapped Lin Xiaotian's shoulder lightly: "Thank you."

Originally planned to go into the ward to have a look, but then thought that I didn't bring anything, and the only fruit basket I bought was given to Jane Jie with flowers and offering Buddha, Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts: "Let's go."

Lin Xiaotian came with an 'all-powerful' expression, and left in a daze.

The two accompanied them to the parking lot of the hospital. Gu Yan lit a cigarette, leaned against a pillar, and said vaguely, "I'll pay you back later."

"Come on." Lin Xiaotian opened the car door, got into the car, and stuck his head out of the car window: "Come in and smoke, I'm not wearing a coat, it's freezing."

Gu Yan followed into the car.

Turning on the heater fully, Lin Xiaotian sneezed a few times tremblingly: "Send you back?"

"I just met Jane." Gu Yan fastened his seat belt and opened his mouth to say something.

Lin Xiaotian didn't take it seriously: "I also saw you two fighting."

"In the hospital, just now, an hour ago." Gu Yan turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaotian.

Lin Xiaotian paused when he took out the cigarette, and then sighed after a long time: "Is this impossible to avoid?"

Gu Yan remained silent, feeling the nicotine lingering in his lungs.

"That's right." Lin Xiaotian handed the big army green cloth bag to Gu Yan: "The money just now is also yours, this is your dividend."

"What dividend?" Gu Yan was smoking a cigarette, and he didn't understand Lin Xiaotian's words angrily. When he opened the cloth bag casually with both hands, he was attracted by the bundles of big bills inside.

Lin Xiaotian rolled up the window, rubbed his hands, and let out a sigh of relief: "I bought you a financial management account for your share in high school, and then earned a little bit, which was included in the clubhouse's annual dividend. "

——

Recently, there was a group that was often discussed in the class. Lin Xiaotian looked up at the sky, and his thoughts drifted to the beautiful girl in which class. Gu Yan was copying homework with half a centimeter of stubble on his head. Stuttering the breakfast that Gu Yan bought for him, the Zhang Jie sandwiched between the two of them served as a fat sandwich, and occasionally turned around to toss a small note.

Morning self-study has become Xie Jiang's exclusive, and before the bell rang, Xie Jiang almost rushed into the classroom with wind all over his body.

Raising his eyelids to look at Gu Yan in the back row with satisfaction, Xie Jiang held back his smile, and said with a sharp mouth: "Some people insist on eating jujube with a swollen face, student Gu Xing, is the jujube you're eating sweet after being slapped? "

Gu Yan quickly copied the last equation, and replied without raising his head: "It's okay."

"It's still kicking your nose." Xie Jiang said with a smile on his face: "Okay, wake up everyone who should wake up, and announce one thing. There will be a basketball game at the beginning of next month. It looks like you are under pressure even if you don't study. , the school specially found an activity to make you feel relaxed."

A few boys in the class made noises, but Xie Jiang ignored them and let them go.

"Who are you fighting with?"

"There are eight classes in the first year of high school. The winning class will cancel the evening self-study for a week." Xie Jiang picked up the chalk and wrote the date on the blackboard: "Spontaneous organization."

It's like people who go to work can get an extra year's year-end bonus. Some of them who don't like to study are so excited that they jump on the table.

"If you lose, there will be an extra half an hour for late self-study." Xie Jiang finished as if he hadn't heard of it, and took out a stack of papers from the file bag he was carrying: "The first row will be passed on later, and the family information will be completed. Those who want to get in the way, by the way, who is a divorced family came to me after class alone."

Gu Yan paused while holding the pen, Lin Xiaotian suddenly sat up straight, and subconsciously looked at Gu Yan.

"That's all." After Xie Jiang finished explaining, seeing that the forms were almost sent out, he folded his arms and said leisurely: "I'm going to a meeting, the next class is math, recently I heard that there are some students in our class It’s more floating, let me listen to the math teacher report that you pass notes while sleeping in class, and the boss will let you experience what it’s really like to be floating.”

Several girls were amused, and Xie Jiang walked out of the classroom in high spirits.

Gu Yan stuffed the form in his hand into the desk pocket, and remained silent.

Lin Xiaotian leaned over and whispered to him: "Are you looking for Xie Jiang?"

"No." Gu Yan said.

Jian Jie filled in the parents' names respectively, and after filling in a few basic information, she turned to look at the students around her.

When his eyes glanced at Gu Yan, he paused for half a second.

He saw Gu Yan's unnaturalness.

——

Jian Jie walked out of the elevator weakly, her body seemed to be much hotter than in the morning, and her mind seemed to be flooded with water.

Jia Bei was waiting in front of Jane Jie's house with an anxious expression on his face. When he saw Jane Jie coming out, joy flashed across his melancholy face.

"husband."

Jian Jie stood still, frowned slightly, a little disgusted by Jia Bei's address to him, opened his mouth and asked in a bad tone: "Why are you here?"

"I... ... "

Jia Bei was a little embarrassed by Jane Jie's attitude, and the delicate makeup couldn't hide the gauntness on his face.

Unexpectedly, Jia Bei would come directly to the house. Jian Jie sighed, clenched a fist in one hand, and released it gently after half a second: "Jia Bei, give me some time."

"Why?" Jia Bei raised the corners of his mouth, showing a weak smile: "Is that how you resist me?"

Jian Jie didn't know how to answer. He looked at Jia Bei in front of him. His smooth black hair was combed into a small ball head, and his tall figure was wrapped in a down jacket. It seemed that he had waited outside for too long, and his hands were already red from the cold. .

Such a smart and beautiful girl who cared about him was the dream partner of many men.

But Jian Jie just doesn't belong to that category, he is paranoid and cruel, seeing Jia Bei approaching him in such a 'subtle' way, he doesn't even have extra touch and pity, but wants to run away instead.

He knows he is not human.

Jane Jie smiled suddenly, as if she was laughing at herself,

"What did I do wrong?" Jia Bei's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with tears.

In recent days, Jane's abnormality has made her feel very flustered, but the company's affairs are also in a hurry, so she has no time to find Jane, so she asked for half a day off today, and came here early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Jian Jie was not there.

Reluctant to leave, he waited for more than an hour for Jane to come back, not to mention the attitude of the other party, Jia Bei's compromising heart was shattered in front of Jane.

Jian Jie's body was so weak that he felt top-heavy even standing there, and he didn't have any extra thoughts to take care of Jia Bei.

"Didn't you want to find Gu Yan?" Jia Bei suddenly made up his mind, held back his tears, and raised the corner of his mouth: "I know what happened to Gu Yan after you transferred."

This sentence is like a bomb thrown into the water. Bombing can stir up water splashes several meters high. If she had heard someone say this to herself earlier, Jane would definitely have asked the bottom line.

But now...

"Jia Bei." Jian Jie waved his hand and sighed, "I just came back from the hospital, and now I don't want to hear any news about Gu Yan."

"What?" Jabe was surprised.

Jane Jie took out a few times in her bag, and handed the medicine bought for Jian's mother to Jia Bei: "Please, send it to my mother."

"Why is it uncomfortable?" Jia Bei was surprised, he immediately loosened his clenched teeth, and stepped forward to support Jane.

It's like this in front of the person you like, even if you hate it in your heart, how many complaints, how much dissatisfaction, seeing the other person's weak mouth, your heart will turn into a puddle of water, rippling endlessly.

Jian Jie closed her eyes, not wanting to think about other things for the time being.

It was unexpected to see Gu Yan, but it was expected that Gu Yan pushed him away.

——

Gu Yan took a few bundles of big bills at once, and was a little bit at a loss for the rare ones. Lin Xiaotian pulled Gu Yan's clothes and took out cigarettes from his pocket. accurate?"

"Where did I have money when I was in high school?" Gu Yan wrapped the cloth and put it on his lap, thinking back and forth in his goldfish's mind, but couldn't figure out why: "It's very capable to be able to eat, My mother didn't leave me any money after she passed away..."

"You can only remember Jane Jie with your goldfish brain." Lin Xiaotian said.

"Probably." Gu Yan did not object.

"Why is this necessary?" Lin Xiaotian yawned, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes: "Gu Yan, have you ever thought that if we didn't show up for the appointment that day, would the three of us have a different life now?"

After a few seconds of silence in the car, Gu Yan got used to the temperature in the car, his palms began to feel warm, and even his limbs and bones felt a lot more comfortable.

"No if."

"I'm asking what if."

"No if, at that time, no matter what the reason was, one of us had to leave. One was a top student who was admitted to a prestigious university, and the other was a divorced student who had no money and would only cause trouble. In this case, even if there was no Liang Biao The school will try every means to find an excuse to cover up the matter." Gu Yan said calmly, as if he was talking about an interesting incident from a long time ago.

"Xie Jiang also resigned after that. Sometimes campus violence is not limited to physical aspects. I didn't know who was careless at the time. It was a critical moment to spread rumors about your relationship with Jane Jie at school. The groundless rumors have been blown away, and I suspect that it was Liang Biao, that idiot who asked you to have a fight on the surface, but secretly gave you power."

"It's all over." Gu Yan leaned on the back of the chair, feeling sleepy.

"Brother, tell me the truth, were you and Jane together at that time?" Lin Xiaotian still didn't hold back: "I feel that something is wrong with you two, what are you two doing behind my back after that, I can't just guess wildly, this time you give me an accurate word."

"No." Gu Yan gently closed his eyes.

"Fuck, is it real or not?" Lin Xiaotian was surprised: "It shouldn't be, I have seen you two holding hands before."

"You didn't bring your brain with you at home, did you? I've shared the bed with you countless times, and you fart at any time."

"How can this be the same." Lin Xiaotian started the car, and said at the same time: "You don't have any wrong thoughts about me, and I'm not Jane."

Gu Yan was speechless.

Lin Xiaotian is indeed not Jane Jie.

The only person who appeared in his memory and merged into his blood was Jane Jie.

In Gu Yan's heart, Lin Xiaotian is siblings and family.

In Gu Yan's heart, Jane Jie...

It is unforgettable.

"Then you two were not officially together before you separated?" Lin Xiaotian continued to ask.

"Um."

"Then does Jane know that you were persuaded to quit?" Lin Xiaotian turned the steering wheel and asked unintentionally.

Gu Yan thought of what he said to Jian Jie just now, and shook his head.

"It's not persuasion, it's dismissal."

The author has something to say: Jane Jie is a scumbag.

So did Gu Yan.

Whoops, what a scumbag!
