Chapter 90 Don't Give Up

Ling Chao couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at that time.Gu Yuan said he was willing, willing to block the knife for him, willing to get hurt for him, willing to disregard his own life for him?

Ling Chao doesn't want Gu Yuan to think like this!

For Ling Chao, these ten or so hours seemed so long and difficult as if many days had passed.He didn't dare to close his eyes, didn't dare to look at the injuries on Gu Yuan's body, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen if his luck was not so good and he injured his vitals.

Hot tears flowed down, passed through the skin where the hands and face were attached, and slowly wet the back of Gu Yuan's cold hands.

He lightly tapped the back of Ling Chao's hand with his fingers, and said in a comforting tone, "Brother Chao, don't cry."

Ling Chao's tears flowed more and more. He has always been strong, and his past memories rarely have the impression of crying.But this is the second time in the past six months.And this time I cried from yesterday to today.

It is said that "a man never sheds tears lightly". Last time, he was moved because of emotion, but this time, it was because of fear, guilt, heartache and self-blame.

Ling Chao wiped his eyes with the back of his hand indiscriminately, sniffed his nose, calmed down his emotions a little and said, "Don't do anything that makes me cry again, okay?"

"Okay." Gu Yuan answered simply, his face, which had lost a lot of blood and hadn't eaten for a long time, had no blood at all, and his lips were so dry that a layer of skin appeared.

But he still kept a smiling face, even if the smile looked so unconvincing.

"Does it hurt?" Ling Chao asked him softly.

"Fortunately," Gu Yuan shook his head slowly, "It's already numb."

"How could such a deep wound not hurt?" Ling Chao muttered, "Thank God that no organs were injured, otherwise..."

"It's okay." Gu Yuan was struggling to speak, and he spit out each word slowly, "I'm fine now, aren't I?"

Ling Chao also knew that he must be suffering just after waking up, so he quickly said, "Stop talking, go to sleep when you're tired, I'll be here with you."

Gu Yuan is indeed not very energetic at the moment, the pain from the incision is actually a little numb, it's just a dull pain intermittently, but the pain on the part of his body hit by the stick is more clear.

Looking at Ling Chao's face which was not much better than his, he knew that he must have stayed in the hospital without sleep last night.

"Go back and sleep for a while." Gu Yuanqiang said with a bit of energy.

Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan's eyes that couldn't be closed, and knew that it was the strength of the medicine, so he must be worried about himself.But he was really not in the mood to go home, he just wanted to stay with Gu Yuan in the hospital.In the end, I can only say: "I'll sleep with you here, so I can know when you wake up, okay?"

Knowing that he couldn't beat him, Gu Yuan agreed.

When Zhang Yun and Gu Qingqing came back, what they saw was Gu Yuan sleeping on the hospital bed, and Ling Chao sitting on a low stool lying on the edge of the bed and falling asleep.

Their hands were still clasped, and there was only the sound of two people breathing lightly in the quiet ward.

Zhang Yun looked at the two people, went over lightly, took Gu Yuan's coat and put it on Ling Chao, and pulled Gu Qingqing out again.

She greeted the nurse at the station, Gu Yuan's drip was still going on, she asked the nurse to help her watch, and then took Qing Qing home to cook.

This sleep was fairly sound, Gu Yuan woke up once in the middle, it was when the nurse went to pull out the needle.

His hand was held by Ling Chao, and a strand of soft hair could still be clearly felt on the back of his hand.He turned his head and saw Ling Chao's sleeping face lying on the bedside, wondering if he had dreamed of something, and his brows were still slightly frowned.

Gu Yuan really wanted to touch Ling Chao's face with his fingers, but just as he moved, he was grabbed hard.But that person showed no signs of waking up.

Gu Yuan smiled silently, his heavy eyelids showed that he was still sleepy.

sleep!

That's fine too.

Zhang Yun brought food to Ling Chao at noon, he obviously saw Gu Yuan swallowing his saliva quietly, Ling Chao laughed and couldn't bear to take out the lunch box, and came in after eating outside.

He finally remembered to charge his phone.As soon as I turned it on, several missed calls and unread messages came one after another.Ling Chao opened it and saw that it was all from his mother.

He just remembered that he hadn't contacted his mother all day yesterday, and he quickly called back after the phone was fully charged.

Ling Chao didn't intend to hide this matter at home, so he told his mother the whole story.

When Bai Lan heard that Gu Yuan had been admitted to the hospital because of his son's knife wound, she felt distressed and angry at the same time. She educated Ling Chao on her mobile phone and blamed him for not taking good care of Gu Yuan.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Lan discussed with Ling Zhifeng and decided to come to City D.

The couple really liked Gu Yuan very much, and now they were seriously injured because of saving Ling Chao, so they should both come forward out of love and reason.

But they didn't tell Ling Chao about this decision.

There are only two short days in the May Day holiday, and these two days are really too chaotic, and I have to go to school again before I fully recover.

Gu Yuan was required to be hospitalized for half a month, Zhang Yun called Du Lin to ask Gu Yuan for leave.

Gu Yuan has no problems with his studies, and now all the courses are coming to an end, but Gu Yuan has already finished his self-study.

Ling Chao also wanted to ask for leave. He wanted to stay in the hospital with Gu Yuan by himself, but Gu Yuan stopped him.

Zhang Yun insisted on hiring a nurse. It was impossible for her to let Ling Chao stay in the hospital overnight.Except for the two or three hours in the morning, Ling Chao never slept.

It was almost ten o'clock, the nurse went out to fetch water, and Gu Yuan's mother and Qingqing went home.

In the ward, Ling Chao didn't want to leave yet, if Gu Yuan didn't have the strength to wake up, he would have to push Ling Chao out himself.

"Brother Chao, you can't ask for leave." Gu Yuan lay on the bed, insisting on the previous topic.

"I can also study on my own." Ling Chao has never studied in advance, and his request for high school has always been to enjoy this stage and act like an ordinary high school student.

"You have to take the IELTS test next week, and you don't have the heart to study every day in the hospital." Gu Yuan said.

"It's as if I can be thoughtful without being in the hospital." Ling Chao muttered in a low voice.

"What?" Gu Yuan didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, I..." Ling Chao stopped the rest of the words.

He thought a lot during the night of the first night's vigil, and suddenly for the first time he had the idea of ​​not wanting to go abroad.In the past, he didn't think that being apart for a few years would have any impact on his relationship with Gu Yuan, he was too confident.This time when Gu Yuan was injured, he really felt that he couldn't let it go, couldn't bear it, let alone want to leave Gu Yuan.

Ling Chao seldom hesitated like this, Gu Yuan always felt that he had something on his mind, he didn't want Ling Chao to do this for him, so he could only pretend to threaten and say: "If you don't go to school, I won't be hospitalized, just go to school directly. "

"You..." Ling Chao has nothing to do with him, but he really doesn't want to stay in school by himself recently, facing Gu Yuan's empty seat every day, how can he still study hard?

"Gu Yuan, I don't want to take the exam anymore." After a long time, Ling Chao finally spoke out.

I don't want to take the IELTS test anymore, I don't want to go abroad, I just want to go to a university in China with you, go to school together, graduate together, and grow up together.

May I?

Can I?

Ling Chao looked into Gu Yuan's eyes, there was a questioning light there, gradually becoming unbelievable.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Yuan kept his mind calm.

"Just the literal meaning." Ling Chao lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Yuan again, he believed that Gu Yuan understood.

Gu Yuan wanted to sit up, he supported the edge of the bed with his palms and tried his best, but the wound immediately hurt so much that he lost strength and fell down.

This movement made Ling Chao jump up reflexively.He pressed Gu Yuan's shoulder, and growled softly in a somewhat anxious tone: "What are you doing!"

Cold sweat broke out in an instant, and the hairline on his forehead reflected light under the incandescent lamp. He drank some rice soup at night and his complexion improved, but now he turned pale again.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes, tried his best not to move too much to breathe, the pain of the wound gradually subsided, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ling Chao who was still pressing his shoulders, and said seriously: "Chao Brother, I don’t allow you to give up the path you should take for me, absolutely not. If so, I would rather never appear in your world.”

This sentence is really too heavy, it took Ling Chao a long time to realize it.

He knew that Gu Yuan was definitely not joking, his eyes were particularly determined, and he would do what he said.

Ling Chao sat down on the chair beside the bed, unable to hold on any longer.

When the nurse came in, he felt that the atmosphere in the ward was extremely solemn. He scanned the two teenagers in embarrassment, and finally retreated quietly.

"Go back, Brother Chao," Gu Yuan broke the silence, "You should go to school, take exams, and I will also take good care of my injuries and strive to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible."

Ling Chao didn't know what else to say, he stood up a little dejectedly, leaned down and kissed Gu Yuan's forehead, picked up his bag and left the ward without stopping.

His back looked lost and decadent, his head was lowered, and his steps were floating, as if he had lost his energy.It made Gu Yuan feel distressed for a while.

Ling Chao met Gu Yuan's nurse in the corridor, nodded slightly, and left the hospital without saying a word.
