Seeing Su Hua speak up for that A Yao like this, Gu Beixian felt as if something was blocking his heart and he was extremely depressed.
There was no change on his face, but the feeling of being on fire and holding his breath was written all over his eyes.
I'm going out for a cigarette. He spoke coldly. Before he could finish his words, he had already turned around and pushed the door open with a bit of strength.
Su Hua didn't notice and was lost in her own world.
Her mind drifted back to that night thirteen years ago - the wind howled as if it were about to lift the roof, the flames were blinding, and the pain and fear mingled together, like a nightmare that would never wake up.
As soon as the name A Yao emerged, those deeply buried things surged up like a tide, and my heart felt as if it were being tightly pinched.
A tear quietly fell down, precisely landing on that blurry photo.
It was a long time before her breathing gradually became steady. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and then looked at the photo, thinking to herself - who on earth was secretly helping her?
She didn't even mention her own mother about her injured hand, fearing that the elderly would worry. Those who truly know it can be counted on one hand.
Gu Beixian definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
Who could that be? Shen Huai?
She picked up her phone and called: "Young Master Shen, do you know a person named Chu Suosuo?" "
Shen Huai paused for a moment and said, "I've heard a little of the name." What?"
Her hand was hit with a hammer last night.
Shen Huai let out an "oh" and said, "Shall I help her find a doctor?" "
"No need."
She hung up the phone.
Shen Huai also ruled it out.
She picked up the photo again and stared at it even more carefully.
Since marrying Gu Beixian, her life has become quiet and secluded. I don't have many friends, and those of the opposite sex are even rarer. She thought for a long time but still couldn't match the back view in the photo with anyone else.
Gu Beixian smoked half a pack of cigarettes outside before his mood gradually returned to its original state. He pushed the door open and went in.
Just then, Su Hua was seen sitting on the bed, holding that photo, her eyebrows knitted tightly.
He paused for a few seconds, walked over and sat down, gently stroking the tight, fine line between her eyebrows with his fingertips.
His eyes fell on her for a long time. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. That embrace was a little quieter and lasted longer than usual.
Su Hua smelled the strong smell of smoke on him and asked softly, "Did you smoke a lot?"
"Um." "
I finally quit. Don't smoke anymore. It's bad for your health.
"Ok." "
After a while, he whispered, "I made you sad just now..." It's my fault."
Su Hua wanted to respond but didn't know where to start. She could only say softly, "I'm hungry..." Let's have a meal."
Gu Beixian let go of her and asked the bodyguards to bring the meal in.
After having a meal, he went to the company.
In the evening, Gu Nanyin came running with a big bunch of flowers in her arms.
As soon as she entered the door, she complained, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me you were injured?" If it weren't for Brother Mo Chen's mention, I wouldn't have known you were hospitalized until now."
Su Hua smiled and said, "You have to go to class. I'm afraid I'll hold you up." "
I'm about to graduate. I'm not looking for a job or preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. I'm so idle that I'm getting moldy. If you had told me earlier, I would have come to keep you company. As long as you don't find me annoying.
"No way." "
Gu Nanyin saw Su Hua's hand with a splint and pouted in anger, "Who's so ruthless?" "!"
Su Hua briefly recounted the course of events.
Gu Nanyin was furious upon hearing this.
The two chatted until it got dark.
Gu Nanyin checked her watch and called Gu Beixian: "Brother, I'm visiting my sister-in-law at the hospital. I want to have some milk tea. Could you bring me a cup on your way back?" Do you know what I like to drink? Don't forget to bring a cup for your sister-in-law as well."
Gu Beixian's voice on the phone was very faint: "I'm in the hospital. If there's anything you want to drink, ask the bodyguard to buy it." "
"I was in my sister-in-law's ward. Didn't I see you?" "
"I'm here to see Suo Suo. I'll be back in half an hour." "
Gu Nanyin stood up at once, walked to the window and lowered her voice, "Brother, you're really going too far." My sister-in-law was just injured and in a bad mood, yet you are still so angry with her. Don't you know? The thing that girls care about the most is when their boyfriends get too close to their exes.
Gu Beixian hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I'll be back later." "
"Not in a while, but now." "
The call was hung up.
Gu Nanyin sat back by the bedside, holding her breath again and again. Eventually, she couldn't help but speak up: "Sister-in-law, is my brother...?" Have you been very close to Chu Suosuo recently?"
Su Hua hummed in response.
Gu Nanyin sighed, "Sister-in-law, you're too honest. You can't beat her at all." That person has been extremely calculating since childhood and is especially good at pretending to be pitiful. I can't even beat her.
Su Hua's mind was wandering, but she just responded gently.
Gu Nanyin continued, "She used to be very clingy to my elder brother when she was little." Every time the two families have a meal, she would stick close to my brother, calling him "Brother Beixian" and acting spoiled, which made me get goosebumps. My elder brother was completely surrounded by her at that time.
Su Hua's heart tightened, but her expression remained calm.
Later, I couldn't stand it anymore and went to stick to her brother. I also kept calling her "Brother Mo Chen", which made her so angry that she almost blew up.
Su Hua listened and nodded slightly.
Gu Nanyin said, "By the way, they don't look alike as siblings, do they?" Because they are half-fathers. Suo Suo's mother is... Alas, anyway, family affairs used to be quite chaotic.
Su Hua didn't respond and just listened quietly.
It wasn't long before Gu Beixian came back.
Holding two cups of milk tea and desserts in her hand, one was Su Hua's favorite and the other was for Gu Nanyin.
Gu Beixian inserted the straw and handed it to Su Hua, saying, "I bought it from the store you like." "
When Su Hua took it, she smelled a faint, familiar sweet fragrance from his sleeve - that was the perfume that Chu Suosuo loved to use.
Her gaze swept down and settled on a tiny dot of light red at the collar of his shirt. That color... She recognizes it.
It felt as if something had pricked my chest.
This kind of thing isn't the first time, but every time it feels like a stone has been thrown into my heart.
Her hand holding the cup tightened, her smile fading a little: "Thank you for your hard work." "
Gu Beixian merely said, "The driver bought it." "
Gu Nanyin took the milk tea and looked dissatisfied. "Brother, if you keep doing this, you'll lose your sister-in-law sooner or later." There's no one else like her.
Gu Beixian glanced at Su Hua out of the corner of his eye and saw her drinking milk tea slowly with her head down, unable to make out her emotions.
He said indifferently, "When adults speak, children should not interrupt."
Gu Nanyin stomped her feet in anger, "You'll regret it later!"
-
Ten days later, at noon.
Gu Beixian finished handling company affairs and rushed back to the hospital.
The bodyguard at the door was gone, and his expression darkened.
Pushing the door open and stepping in, there was a stranger on the hospital bed.
Gu Beixian's heart gave a sudden jolt: "Where's Su Hua who lived in this room before?" "
The nurse recalled, "She was discharged from the hospital. She left this morning."
Gu Beixian's expression completely darkened.
She had clearly agreed to wait for him to pick her up, but she didn't even leave a word.
He called Su Hua immediately.
"The user you are calling is turned off." "
He opened wechat and sent a message
It can't be displayed.
She blocked him.
