Late at night the next day.
Su Hua's fingers were still throbbing with pain, as if someone was twisting them with a needle. She tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally dozing off in a daze.
Gu Beixian lay beside her, with one hand naturally embracing her.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated beside the pillow. He was afraid of waking her up, so he quickly muted her and gently pulled his hand from under her neck. Just as he was halfway through, Su Hua woke up.
She opened her eyes, still drowsiness hanging from her eyelashes. "What's wrong?"
Gu Beixian lifted his phone and said, "Answer a call." "
"Pick you up here. Don't go out. It's chilly outside." " Her voice is soft and very considerate.
Gu Beixian responded gently and answered, "Mo Chen, what's up?" "
On the other end of the phone, Chu Suosuo's elder brother, Chu Mochen, seemed particularly polite: "Sorry to disturb you so late." Lock Lock's hand... I was hit with a hammer and suffered comminuted fractures in four fingers of my left hand. My condition is not good. She has been crying and calling you. Is it convenient for you to come and have a look?
Gu Beixian's expression tightened significantly and he sat up straight. "When did this happen?"
"Two hours ago."
Gu Beixian frowned even more deeply: "I'll be there right away." "
"I'll send you the ward number in a moment." "
"Ok." "
As soon as he hung up the call, he began to unbutton his pajamas, his movements as frantic as if an eyebrow was burning.
Su Hua watched and understood that impatience - he probably wouldn't be able to come back tonight.
He would probably take care of Chu Suosuo as he did her, hugging, soothing and keeping her company, without missing a single detail. Thinking of this, it felt as if a gash had been forcibly cut open in her heart.
She recalled Xiao Yi's words, "Be coquettish when you should," but she just couldn't do it. It's her nature to be gentle and weak, but she can manage it with difficulty.
She suddenly reached out and hugged Gu Beixian, burying her face in his arms. The movement was too obvious - I didn't want him to go.
Gu Beixian paused in his hand movements, lowered his head and rubbed her hair. His voice was not as soft as his usual self: "Be good. I'll go and take a look and be back soon." "
Su Hua, however, held on tightly and wouldn't let go, her voice filled with pleading: "Let's go at dawn, okay?" I'll go with you at dawn."
Gu Beixian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his tone carried a hint of annoyance that he himself had not noticed: "When did you become so immature?" "
He was saying that she was being unreasonable.
Su Hua gave a wry smile in her heart.
So what if it's unreasonable? In her three years of marriage, she had never been like this even once. It's just an exception tonight.
This is no longer a matter of love or not; it's a competition between her and Chu Suosuo. She just makes Chu Suosuo feel uncomfortable. It's the first time I've felt so uncomfortable thinking about it.
Gu Beixian was silent for quite a while, seeing that she still wouldn't let go.
He finally reached out and pried her fingers apart one by one.
Getting dressed and leaving, the whole process was neat and tidy.
The moment the door closed, Su Hua felt her heart shatter with a "pop".
He wasn't even willing to wait for a few more hours.
No matter how hard the stand-in tries, he can never beat his childhood sweetheart, the white moonlight.
She lowered her head, gave a self-mocking smile, endured the pain in her hand and got up, locking the ward door from the inside. When I lay back down again, my eyes were already sore.
-
When Gu Beixian arrived at Chu Suosuo's ward, it was in total chaos.
Chu Suosuo had just been transferred back from the operating room. She was curled up in a ball, trembling with pain. Her complexion was so sallow that it was hard to believe. Her eyes were swollen like peaches.
Four severed fingers were fixed with splints. The back of the hand was swollen terrifyingly, the skin was stretched until it shone, and the wound was shocking to the eyes.
Hua Qirou was crying beside her, unable to catch her breath.
Chu's father was smoking non-stop in the corridor. The smoke was thick and his expression was invisible.
As soon as Gu Beixian approached, Chu Mochen came up to him and said, "Sorry to trouble you so late."
"It's okay."
He finished speaking indifferently, walked to the bedside, bent down and said, "Suo Suo."
Chu Suosuo's stunned eyes finally flickered. As soon as she saw him clearly, her whole body collapsed instantly, and her crying broke down like tears.
Gu Beixian sat by the bedside and gently patted her, "Suo Suo, hold on."
Chu Suosuo was crying so hard she could hardly catch her breath: "My hand..." Brother Beixian, my hand is ruined."
"No, you're still young. You'll always grow up well."
It won't grow well. It's a comminuted fracture! It was pieced together bit by bit, and my entire life was ruined...
The more she spoke, the more desperate she became.
Gu Beixian looked at her, but suddenly recalled the expression on Su Hua's face when her finger was pinched off, that moment when she lost her soul.
He took out a piece of paper to wipe Chu Suosuo's tears and said, "Stop crying. Rest first."
But Chu Suosuo couldn't stop crying at all.
Gu Beixian became increasingly annoyed. He glanced at his watch - he had been out for almost an hour.
Su Hua... Most likely already angry.
He thought for a moment, took out a card from his wallet and placed it beside him: "I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything. Keep this token of your kindness." Password: 618618. I have to go back. Su Hua is waiting for me in the ward.
Chu Suosuo's crying immediately stopped.
She stared at him in disbelief, "I'm already like this, and you still want to leave?"
"Um." I'll come to see you again tomorrow.
"Don't go..." "Ok?" " Chu Suosuo reached out to pull him, the needle trembling on the back of her hand. Her pitiful look was so touching that it could make one's heart soften.
Gu Beixian was silent for a few seconds, but then gently withdrew his hand: "Be good. Your parents and elder brother are all here." Su Hua only has me."
Chu Suosuo's eyes darkened: "Doesn't she have a mother too?" "
Her grandmother is in hospital and her mother is taking care of her grandmother.
Chu Suosuo completely broke down: "Brother Beixian, you've changed..." You used to love me so much. Even when I had a fever, you would stay with me all night...
She burst into tears again.
Chu Mo frowned and said, "Beixian, go back quickly. We'll take care of her." "
Gu Beixian nodded and asked, "Who hit the person?"
"Not caught yet." I was knocked unconscious as soon as I came out of the parking lot. Nothing was lost and no one was violated. It was all aimed at her hand.
Gu Beixian's heart sank: "I'll have someone investigate." "
"No need. We've called the police." "
"Ok." " He turned and left.
As soon as the door closed, Chu Suosuo immediately threw her pillow on the ground and cried her heart out: "It's been over ten years of love!" How could he not compare to his three-year marriage with that country bumpkin! I hate her! I hate her to death!"
Chu Mo let out a deep sigh and said, "When you were with Gu Beixian, he was full of vigor and vitality." When Su Hua was with him, it was the time when he was at his lowest point and most desperate. True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Those dozen years of yours... "I really can't compare with her three years." "
Chu Suosuo went completely crazy: "Why are you helping her too?" Are you my elder brother or hers? ?"
I'm telling the facts. Chu Mo Chen replied faintly.
-
Gu Beixian returned to the ward and locked the door.
He knocked for a long time but got no response. He also called but didn't answer.
He rubbed his forehead and asked the bodyguard to unlock it.
A few minutes later, the door opened and he entered the room.
Su Hua turned her back to him, pretending not to have heard anything.
He changed into his pajamas, went to bed and pulled her into his arms.
Su Hua struggled but couldn't break free. Her eyes were red, but her voice was cold: "Have your secretary deliver the divorce agreement tomorrow." "
Gu Beixian's hand holding her paused. After a long silence, his Adam's apple rolled down: "Go to sleep." "
-
It's dawn.
The two had breakfast together.
Gu Beixian reached out to touch her face, his eyes gentle: "I have a meeting this morning. I'll be back at noon to keep you company." "
Su Hua gently turned her head away and said, "No need." Don't forget about the divorce.
Gu Beixian's expression darkened significantly: "Grandma is not in good health, and you got injured at this time..." Let's talk about it in some time."
He got up and left.
After the doctor came to change the medicine, Su Hua quietly read a book, concentrating intently as if she had no distractions.
At noon, the bodyguard knocked on the door and said, "Young Madam, Miss Chu's mother is outside and said she wants to visit you."
Su Hua paused and said, "Let her in." "
The door opened and Hua Qirou rushed in with red eyes, her face full of hatred: "Is that you?" "
Su Hua frowned and asked, "What?"
"Suo Suo's hand - Did you have someone hit it?" "!"
Su Hua was stunned for a moment, but soon regained her composure: "It's not me." "
Hua Qirou rushed over in a flash, grabbed her by the collar and said, "You heartless villain!" Snatching the person Suo Suo likes and even destroying her hand! I have only one daughter. I have been doting on her for over twenty years. How could you treat her like this! "I'll fight you to the death!"
When Mrs. Liu heard the commotion, she rushed out of the bathroom and pulled the person away.
Ke Hua Qi Rou went crazy, cursing non-stop: "You damned girl!" Country bumpkin! "Damn it!" "
Su Hua listened quietly for about seven or eight minutes before raising her eyes and saying, "Sister Liu, move aside." "
Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, but still let go and stood aside.
The next second, Su Hua grabbed the stainless steel thermos from the bedside table and threw it hard.
"Bang!"
The cup hit Hua Qi Rou hard on the bridge of her nose, and blood gushed out instantly.
Su Hua pointed to the door and said coldly, "Get out."
