Quick Wear: An honest man is always criticized for forced love

The bad news came much earlier than expected. Shen Jun stayed with Shen An in the hospital for nearly half a month. During this half month, Shen An's health deteriorated. At first, he could still stand up and walk around, and greeted Dr. Pang or the nurses around him with a smile. Gradually, Shen An even had difficulty opening his eyes.

Shen Jun stayed in the hospital for longer and longer periods of time, but Shen An would still hold his hand and tell him many stories from his childhood. It seemed that Shen An would always have regrets about that period of time.

That day, after finishing work at the coffee shop, Shen Jun took the dinner he had bought and went to the hospital to visit Shen An as usual. When he pushed open the ward door, he found that Shen An was not lying on the bed. He was half sitting and looking out the window. His eyes were calm and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Dad," Shen Jun called him, and the person on the hospital bed turned around and looked towards the door.

Shen An slowly smiled, "Come on, how was work today?"

Shen Jun walked over, put down the small table, then took out the food in his hand and placed it on the table. Shen An's body was no longer strong enough to support him to eat those difficult to digest things. His three meals a day were basically liquid food or nutritional supplements.

Today was no exception. Shen An had lean meat porridge and some pickles. Shen Jun drank the porridge too. Anyway, Shen Jun didn't have too many requirements for food, as long as he could eat enough.

Shen Jun lowered his head and slurped the porridge. Shen An also used a small spoon to put it into his mouth one spoonful at a time, but he really had no appetite. He only ate a few spoonfuls and stopped moving.

He just watched Shen Jun eat quietly, with a smile unconsciously appearing on the corners of his mouth.

After Shen Jun finished eating, he looked up and Shen An retracted his gaze. He noticed that the food in Shen An's bowl was basically untouched. Shen Jun silently noted in his heart that Shen An didn't like the porridge from this restaurant, and would find a new one tomorrow.

"Can you help Dad get the bag over there?" Shen An looked at Shen Jun and asked. Shen Jun looked in the direction of Shen An's finger and saw a black shoulder bag. It looked a bit old and had signs of heavy use. The straps and corners were worn to the point of being almost white.

Shen Jun stood up and took the bag to Shen An, "What's in it?" Shen Jun asked.

Shen An took the backpack and opened it. It looked like a small bag, but it was filled with a lot of things, including a yellowed photo, a leather bag, a small box for a ring, some clothes and a few notebooks.

Shen An carefully wiped the non-existent dust off the photo. The photo had turned yellow, but the couple in it still had happy and lively smiles on their faces. Shen Jun recognized that one of them was Shen An, and needless to say, Shen Jun guessed that the other one was his mother, whom he had never met.

Shen An's withered fingers slowly brushed across his lover's face in the photo. A tear unconsciously slid down from the corner of Shen An's eye. He raised his hand to wipe his tears and turned the photo frame over. After a click, the photo slid out, and there was a bank card underneath the photo.

Shen An put the bank card aside and put the photo back into the photo frame. "Fortunately, fortunately it's still here and I'm not senile." Shen Jun muttered to himself as he put the photos in the photo frame.

"This is... your mother and I prepared for you. Take it and use it when you get married." Shen installed the photo and handed the bank card to Shen Jun.

Shen Jun looked at the bank card stuffed into his hand and felt like his throat was choked for a moment. Shen An had paid so much money, how could there be any left for him?

As if seeing the doubt in Shen Jun's eyes, Shen An sighed and said slowly: "Your mother passed away early and didn't even have time to see you. I don't have much ability and can't give you a good life, but no matter how difficult these years, I insist on saving money for you to marry a wife every month..."

Shen An's voice became slower and slower. He took a deep breath, and as if he had summoned up a lot of energy, he continued, "I'm afraid your mother will blame me for not taking good care of you. Here is... 80,000 yuan... Don't think it's too little. I... I know I don't have much time left..."

Shen Jun couldn't bear to hear this because it sounded like a last will. He wanted to stop Shen An from saying these depressing words, but Shen An shook his head and insisted, "I don't know how long I can stay awake, but... we must not forget what we owe to the young master and the Gu family. We must live our lives... with a clear conscience."

Hearing this, Shen Jun's heart inevitably skipped a beat, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Shen An's hand. Shen An didn't seem to notice anything unusual about his son.

He continued to talk to himself: "Dad knows that you and the young master grew up together, so your relationship is naturally special, but the young master is the young master after all... You have to pay him back even if he doesn't want you. This is what we owe to the Gu family. We really... We really owe the Gu family too much... I..."

He said it with difficulty. Shen Jun reached out and patted his back in an attempt to make him feel more comfortable. Shen An took a moment to calm down before continuing, "But... you and the young master won't be together for long. A family like the Gu family is not something we can easily marry into. Dad hopes you can let go... let go of the young master... although this will be... difficult..."

As Shen An was speaking, the monitor next to him suddenly sounded an alarm, and the hand that was originally holding Shen Jun loosened at this moment. Shen Jun stood there in a daze for a moment as he watched the hand slip from his hand.

Tears as big as beans fell on the floor. Medical staff rushed over and pulled the dazed Shen Jun away. The curtain of the room was drawn. Dr. Pang came shortly afterwards. He only glanced at Shen Jun standing next to him and put on a mask before entering the ward.

A few minutes later, Shen An was pushed out, and a group of people pulled the bed and rushed to the operating room. Shen Jun followed him and ran a few steps like a zombie.

Not knowing who was blocking his way, Shen Jun bumped into that person. He wanted to apologize, but the person held Shen Jun tightly. Shen Jun struggled desperately until a familiar voice sounded above his head.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's me, it's me, Shen Jun."

Tears welled up in the corners of Shen Jun's eyes. He looked up blankly at the person who was holding him. It was Gu Jingzhou.

Behind Gu Jingzhou, a man with glasses and a serious face was looking at the two people hugging each other. Shen An had been pushed into the operating room. The situation was urgent. Gu Jingzhou stayed in the hospital to watch the father and son. When the bodyguard called him, Gu Jingzhou was rushing to the hospital with his men.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he ran into the distraught Shen Jun. At that moment, Gu Jingzhou could not bear his bad mood. Shen Jun's thin figure followed closely beside the bed, but his footsteps seemed to be always one step slower and he could not catch up.

Shen Jun's eyes were red and swollen from crying. The moment he fell into Gu Jingzhou's arms, Gu Jingzhou clearly felt that he was trembling. "Blame me, blame me for coming too late." Gu Jingzhou hugged Shen Jun tightly and kept comforting him.

The person behind him glanced at the two of them and then without saying anything was taken by the nurse to change into surgical clothes.

The operation lasted a whole night. Gu Jingzhou urged Shen Jun to rest several times, but Shen Jun remained unmoved. He even refused to sit down. He just stood at the door of the operating room, staring blankly at the door that seemed to separate life and death.

Shen Jun refused to sit down so Gu Jingzhou had to stand with him. He hugged Shen Jun and held him in his arms quietly so that Shen Jun could lean on him and rest.

Gu Jingzhou noticed that Shen Jun was holding a card in his hand. It looked like a bank card. He held it so tightly that his fingers turned white from the force.

Gu Jingzhou tried to ask him to relax, but Shen Jun wouldn't listen. Gu Jingzhou told him that the doctor who went in was an expert he invited from abroad, who had obtained many medical patents and honors in this field and would definitely be able to bring Shen An out safely.

After hearing this, Shen Jun raised his head and looked at Gu Jingzhou with empty eyes and asked, "Really?"

"Really, I promise."

Then, a tear with scorching temperature fell on Gu Jingzhou's arm.

"Gu Jingzhou..." Shen Jun called softly.

"Yes, I'm here." said Gu Jingzhou.
