Become a one-time character in a comic

When the nurse was making rounds, she saw Gu Mingxing sitting in another ward. He had been in this ward the entire day.

"Gu Patient, you should go back to your ward."

Gu Mingxing ignored what the nurse said. The nurse also knew that this was an important person, otherwise the dean would not have performed the operation on him personally. The nurse fulfilled her duty, changed the dressing for the patient Edor lying on the bed, and went out.

Yu Xiaoan woke up from the darkness. Just as he opened his eyes a little and saw a little light, he saw Gu Mingxing's face. He couldn't hide his worry and all the emotions were written on his face.

"You, why do you have a wound on your face again?" Yu Xiaoan asked with a smile: "Do you need a Band-Aid?"

Gu Mingxing was originally very worried about her and wanted to know if there was anything else that was wrong with her. Hearing that she was still joking with him, he felt a little relieved. He smiled and replied, "Yes."

"It's a pity that I used it up and didn't buy a new one."

When Gu Mingxing heard her hoarse voice, he reached out to get her some water, but accidentally pulled her wound. He instinctively showed a painful expression and let out a hiss.

Yu Xiaoan looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Mingxing put a straw into the water and passed it to her mouth and said, "I've been learning self-defense recently and got hurt a little, but it will heal soon."

Seeing how nonchalant he was, Yu Xiaoan didn't have the heart to expose him, but still asked bluntly: "When I saw you, you were sitting in a wheelchair. What happened to your legs?"

Gu Mingxing's face was calm, and he said lightly, "It's just that my calf is broken."

Yu Xiaoan was also injured now, and the place where she was whipped was a little painful. She looked at him seriously and asked him seriously: "Why do you say that breaking your calf is like a common occurrence? Doesn't it hurt?"

After hearing this, Gu Mingxing's face showed a different expression, a little aggrieved, a little painful: "It hurts."

Yu Xiaoan held his hand, looked at him with a smile, and comforted him: "If no one listens to you saying it hurts, you can tell me, and I will listen."

Gu Mingxing took her hand, put it to his lips, and then to the top of his head. He lowered his head devoutly, rubbed the back of her hand and said, "Yu Xiaoan, I like you, I really like you."

"I know," Yu Xiaoan looked at his believer tenderly, but did not clearly respond to his love.

"Am I here at the wrong time?" Huo Ting stood at the door of the ward at some point. Yu Xiaoan pulled back the hand that was held by Gu Mingxing. Gu Mingxing lowered his head and glared at Huo Ting. Huo Ting saw it and looked away, pretending not to see it.

Huo Ting walked in and stood beside the bed. Gu Mingxing asked coldly, "what are you doing here?"

"I'm just curious about what Huo Ting said, Edol, you can actually speak Chinese," Huo Ting shook the documents in his hand: "You have never received higher education, and you usually make a living by robbing passers-by. It's impossible for you to have the opportunity to learn Chinese. Who are you?"

Yu Xiaoan looked at him calmly: "I'm just an ordinary person."

Gu Mingxing glared at Huo Ting: "why are you asking these questions?"

"I just want to make sure that the people around you don't approach you with other intentions..."

"I don't have any bad intentions," Yu Xiaoan interrupted him, "I don't know what you do. I'm just an ordinary person who likes to rob."

Gu Mingxing gestured towards the ward door and said, "Leave after you hear the answer."

"Gu Mingxing, you...really like him? A man?"

Gu Mingxing almost wanted to swing his plastered leg and kick him on the forehead: "You are the one who likes men, I am straight."

Huo Ting looked at Eidol and asked, "Are you gay?"

Yu Xiaoan smiled falsely and said, "Sorry, I like the opposite sex."

"Could it be that you two have become gay for love? I just heard your conversation," Huo Ting's mind was experiencing a storm. He pointed at Gu Mingxing, then turned to point at Edor, and then fell into thought.

Gu Mingxing threw a slipper at him: "If you're okay, get out."

Huo Ting nimbly dodged the slippers that hit him: "I just came to you because I have nothing to do, okay? How did you two know each other?" He looked at Gu Mingxing and said, "You have been very busy in the past two years. How could you have time to meet others? Is he a mercenary?"

"Mercenary?" Yu Xiaoan didn't know this word. What did this profession have to do with Gu Mingxing in recent years?

Gu Mingxing didn't want Yu Xiaoan to worry too much or know about his own affairs, so he told Huo Ting to leave quickly. However, the Huo family, which mainly focused on collecting intelligence, was like a child seeing a favorite toy when faced with the available intelligence.

Although the Huo family is good at collecting intelligence, Huo Ting is not a very good judge of vision. Just like now, Huo Ting didn't feel anything wrong at all, nor did he feel that what he said now was a bit inappropriate for Gu Mingxing.

"Aren't the people you have been in contact with the most in recent years mercenaries and those white coats in the hospital? You can tell at a glance that he is not a doctor, so he must be a mercenary, right?" Huo Ting still felt that his analysis was reasonable and that he was a little smart. In addition to confusion, there was also a little complacency and pride on his face.

When Xu Yan passed by the ward and saw Gu Mingxing's clenched fists and glaring at Huo Ting, he knew that Huo Ting had said something tactless again, and walked in slowly like a doctor on rounds.

"The patient needs to rest, what are you two doing here?"

As soon as Huo Ting saw Xu Yan, he shared with him what he had just discovered: "the two of them seem to be together."

Xu Yan could feel that if Gu Mingxing's eyes could shoot lasers, then Huo Ting should be riddled with holes now. Xu Yan ignored Huo Ting's sharing, and asked Edor in English how he felt all over his body.

Yu Xiaoan said: "You can speak Chinese. I can speak it and understand it."

Xu Yan immediately understood why Huo Ting had been staying here all the time. This person was very suspicious, and Gu Mingxing's attitude towards him was even more suspicious, but this attitude gave Xu Yan a sense of familiarity.

"Edore, do you know a man named Chen Kang?"

Xu Yan's words reminded Huo Ting. Huo Ting and Xu Yan both looked at Edor. Gu Mingxing looked at Xu Yan and Huo Ting with hostility. Yu Xiaoan lay on the hospital bed and said, "I don't know him, but I've seen him before."

Huo Ting asked, "when did you see him? Where did you see him?"

Yu Xiaoan said: "This is the last question, and I won't answer the following questions." Huo Ting and Xu Yan waited for his answer. Yu Xiaoan said honestly: "In Puzhen No. 11 Middle School."

This answer puzzled Huo Ting. When he was in school, he asked someone to check everyone in the school, from the principal to the cafeteria auntie, but there was no student named "Edor".

"Do you have any other names?"

Huo Ting didn't know why Xu Yan asked this question, but Xu Yan was not a person who acted without thinking. Huo Ting looked at Edor lying on the bed again.

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "I have just answered the last question. I will not answer this question. Even if you whip me again, I still won't answer."

Gu Mingxing said coldly: "If you heard it, get out. You are disturbing her rest."

Huo Ting and Xu Yan walked out of the ward together. Huo Ting patted Xu Yan on the shoulder and said, "I'll check on him again."

Xu Yan held him back and said, "Don't check anymore. You won't find anything even if you check again."

"how do you know?"

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Intuition."

In the ward, Yu Xiaoan looked at Gu Mingxing with a smile: "You actually have this side, this is the first time I've seen it."

"Which side?"

"In my eyes, you have always been a very kind person. I have never seen you being cold to others or glaring at them."

Gu Mingxing was like a deflated balloon. If he had animal ears now, he would definitely see his ears drooping down: "Will you hate me?"

"No," Yu Xiaoan said, looking at his cute appearance, "I just feel like I understand you a little better and see a different side of you."

Gu Mingxing pursed his lips, then opened his mouth and asked, "Aren't you... curious about the 'mercenary' thing just now?"

Yu Xiaoan thought for a moment and said, "It would be a lie to say I'm not curious, but compared to this, I hope you can go back to your ward to rest. You've been sitting here for a long time. You're also an injured person and need plenty of rest."

Gu Mingxing looked at her and had no intention of leaving: "I'm not leaving. I'm just resting here."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him, and Gu Mingxing noticed that she had been looking at him for a long time, so he touched his face and asked, "Is there something strange on my face?"

"Are you tired these days?"

Gu Mingxing opened his mouth and wanted to say "not tired", but he hesitated in front of Yu Xiaoan. He didn't want to say that, and he didn't think it was shameful and humiliating to admit that he was tired in front of the person he loved. Instead, he felt that because he loved the other person, he wanted to share his true feelings with the other person.

"I'm tired. I'm tired every day. I worry every day whether I will die in the next moment, and whether I will never see you again..."

Yu Xiaoan really didn’t know what he had been through these days that made him say things like “I’m worried that I might die in the next moment”, but she knew that he said this after experiencing life and death.

Gu Mingxing looked into Yu Xiaoan's distressed eyes and said, "Do you... feel sorry for me?"

"Well, I don't know what you're going through, but I don't want to ask, and I don't want you to say it out loud. Every time you say it, you have to recall it," Yu Xiaoan moved slightly. For some reason, Gu Mingxing knew that she wanted to sit up, so he reached out for the remote control of the hospital bed and controlled the bed so that she could sit up slightly.

Yu Xiaoan laughed out loud. Gu Mingxing heard her joyful laughter, looked at her happy face and asked her what she was laughing at.

Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "I feel like you are the second person who understands me besides myself."

"Then can you accept my confession?"

Gu Mingxing was still expecting and looking at her with hope. There was like a ball of everlasting fire in his eyes. That fire was born because of her and was moved by her.

"I still can't accept you directly now..."

"It's okay." The hope in Gu Mingxing's eyes was not extinguished by her words. He seemed to know why she rejected him.

During each of these training sessions, he experienced a world that was not tolerant of him. Every training session required his life. Every person he met pointed a weapon at him. At that time, he wondered if Yu Xiaoan's state of mind was similar to his own during training.

When she came here, everything here was different from her own. Everything here was out of tune with her. She thought about how to return to her own world. Maybe she thought about "dying" and returning to her own world for a moment, but could she really return to her own world after death? What if she really died?

That feeling of loneliness, helplessness, powerlessness and frustration eroded her every day. She could only rely on herself to find a way back in this world.

Just like every time I train, I find various ways to keep myself alive.

Gu Mingxing looked at her tenderly and said, "I will look for you until you are willing to accept me."

"Why?" Yu Xiaoan's expression was a little bitter: "Why are you willing to do this?"

“I don’t know either,” he laughed, “I just feel like it’s you, so doing all this is meaningful and worthwhile.”

In her own world, Yu Xiaoan would go to the hospital alone even if she was sick. She would also be alone in the hospital during minimally invasive surgery, listening to the doctor's orders and signing her name on the risk book. She would lie in the operating room looking at the shadowless lamp, she was in a daze, the doctors' conversations were heard in her ears, she just listened because she knew that those conversations had nothing to do with her.

I went shopping alone, watched movies alone, ate hotpot alone, and went to the amusement park alone...

Whether in life or work, she mostly solves problems by herself when she encounters difficulties. She seldom communicates the problems she encounters with others. She has thought about asking for help, but the words just can't come out. When she does talk, the topics of conversation are usually trivial matters.

The same thing happened when she came to this comic world. She was actually speechless and wanted to curse this boring world in her eyes and the terrible setting that happened to her.

Tell her nothing, answer her nothing, just leave her alone.

No one is born to enjoy or like loneliness. It is only because they are used to loneliness that they enjoy it and like it. In fact, it is just a kind of numbness towards loneliness.

But now there is such a person, he can always recognize herself in this terrible setting, every time he can bring her something that makes her feel that this world is a little real, every time he is willing to believe what she says, willing to be friends with her in this world where it seems that she is the only one.

Once a lonely person tastes the sweetness of not being lonely, returning to loneliness is actually a torture.

Yu Xiaoan cried, but not loudly. Tears just flowed from the corners of her eyes. Before the tears slid down to her temples, Gu Mingxing had already wiped her tears away.

"Gu Mingxing, thank you."

Gu Mingxing didn't know why Yu Xiaoan thanked him, but his intuition told him that he should say, "You're welcome, Yu Xiaoan."
