Gu Xiao reached out and pressed the call bell at the bedside. The nurse came quickly. He said coldly, "Let her go. My wound hurts and I need to rest."
"Gu Xiao!" Gu Yunzhu gritted her teeth.
The nurse said to her responsibly: "The patient, please go out. This lady, please cooperate."
Gu Yunzhu glared at the nurse: "I'm his mother."
"I'm sorry, even though you are his mother, you have to leave. Please consider the patient's condition."
Gu Yunzhu left the ward angrily.
Gu Xiao sighed softly.
Wen Qiao came to visit Gu Xiao in the evening.
On the third floor of the inpatient department, Wen Qiao asked the nurses at the desk and walked to the door of Gu Xiao's ward carrying some fruits. The light of dusk enveloped the small ward. He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, half lying on the bed, still receiving an IV, and his face was very pale.
For some reason, Gu Xiao always has a sense of loneliness. This loneliness makes him have an indescribable... In Lu Youyou's words, it's yandere.
Yes, not pitiful, but yandere.
Wen Qiao reached out and knocked on the door, and Gu Xiao opened his eyes.
Wen Qiao pushed the door open and put the fruit basket on the bedside table. She said sincerely, "I'm really sorry for last night. My boyfriend happened to be injured, so I couldn't take you to the hospital with Brother Dong."
Gu Xiao curled his lips, seeming to be very understanding: "It's okay, thank you for coming to visit me."
Although he was smiling, Wen Qiao always felt that his eyes were cold.
Gu Xiao seems to be a boy with a serious mind.
She looked up at his IV bag: "Is he still on drip?"
"We have to hang several bags a day, for several days in a row."
"Did the operation go well?"
"It went pretty smoothly."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."
This made her feel relieved.
Wen Qiao added: "Let me peel an apple for you."
“You can’t eat it now.”
Wen Qiao was a little embarrassed: "You... haven't told your family yet?"
It's an operation anyway, won't your family come to take care of you
Gu Xiao: "My father is gone, my mother... doesn't care about me much, and my grandmother is old..."
Wen Qiao felt even more guilty. Fortunately, Dong Ge was there last night, otherwise she would have been too busy to handle everything.
"I'll hire a nurse for you. You've had surgery and it's inconvenient for you to do anything. You definitely need someone to take care of you." Wen Qiao suggested.
There was the call of a cuckoo in the distance outside the window. Gu Xiao's eyes lingered on her face. Wen Qiao couldn't understand the emotions in his eyes. They were very complicated. In essence, she was a simple person. She could never understand complicated things, especially the complexity of human nature, unless it was a math problem.
"No, I can do it alone. Dong will come over."
Wen Qiao: "Don't be polite to me."
After saying that, he went to register at the nurses' desk, found an honest-looking old man, and then led the old man to Gu Xiao's ward. After giving him a few instructions, he was about to say goodbye to Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao's grandmother just happened to invite him to a video call. The old lady had just learned how to chat via video. Gu Xiao called Wen Qiao and said, "Please help me get the clothes in my closet to cover my hospital gown."
Wen Qiao thought, didn’t I hire a nurse for you
But she still helped him get clothes and covered him.
Someone passed by the open door, took a photo of Wen Qiao covering Gu Xiao with clothes, and then left quickly.
