growing up

Ling Chao went home for four days and stayed in the hospital for another day. The house was still clean, and it was obvious that Aunt Chen had come to clean it up. There was no dust at all.

In fact, it was still early, and the sun had not fully set outside, but the two of them hadn't slept all night, and the clothes on their bodies were either crowded on the train or smelled like smoke from the hospital.So when he got home, Ling Chao asked Gu Yuan to take a bath first.

Gu Yuan didn't delay, took his own change of clothes and went into the bathroom. Ling Chao sat on the sofa, listening to the faint sound of running water, his heart felt much calmer.

He thought of Gu Qingqing and Gu's mother who were still in the hospital. Ling Chao himself was an only child, and he lived in an environment where he didn't even have any relatives, brothers and sisters. They want a younger sister, but their parents are busy. After having him, their careers are on the rise in the few years. They think that one child is enough, and they don't plan to have a second child. After a long time, Ling Chao will not say more .He is also used to the life of only one child in the family, but he still feels a little envious when he sees that other classmates have cute younger siblings.

The brother-sister relationship between Gu Yuan and Gu Qingqing is even more special.Twins means that they have been together since before birth.Moreover, Gu Qingqing was ill since childhood, so the older brother naturally loves the younger sister more. Although he only met Gu Qingqing a few times, he also heard Gu Yuan mention it a few times. Ling Chao can see how precious Gu Yuan is to Gu Qingqing.This disease, seeing Gu Qingqing's physical condition, he really can't imagine what will happen to Gu Yuan if there is any accident.

When Gu Yuan came out of the wash, what he saw was Ling Chao sitting on the sofa in a daze.His eyes are empty, without focus, and without emotion.

"Brother Chao, I've finished washing." Gu Yuan approached him and shouted.

"Ah." Ling Chao seemed to be taken aback, and only reacted after seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Gu Yuan.He stood up, rubbed his hair, walked to the bedroom, and stopped when he reached the door: "There is a gray dry towel in the bathroom, go get it and dry your hair."

Gu Yuan touched his hair that was still dripping, and nodded.

Ling Chao came out with his clothes in his arms, looked at Gu Yuan who was wiping his hair on the sofa he had just sat on, opened his mouth to say something, but finally went into the bathroom without saying anything.

This bath took quite a long time, it felt like it was twice as long as Gu Yuan's.Ling Chao stood under the shower, and the hot water poured from the top of his head, and then flowed to his whole body.

It was quite tiring, Ling Chao seldom stayed up late, let alone this kind of situation where he stayed up all night and persisted until now.But being physically tired was nothing, Ling Chao felt more relieved.

Gu Qingqing's surgery was successful, and Gu Yuan is with him now.This is completely different from the anxious feeling when I saw Gu Yuan's red and swollen eyes in the video last night.It's a lot more practical.

When Ling Chao finished taking a shower, Gu Yuan had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

He was lying flat there, with one foot still on the ground, and a towel that was just used was placed on the side of the tea table, and his hair hadn't been wiped dry, and a handful stood on top of his head.The cyan under the eyes is particularly obvious on the fair skin, and even the usually reddish lip color is a little pale.

Gu Yuan frowned, he didn't know if he was still worried about Gu Qingqing or he was already dreaming after falling asleep for a short time.

The sky outside was much darker, and there was a cool breeze blowing in from the wide-open balcony door. Gu Yuan was lying there wearing only a thin long coat and trousers.Ling Chao was afraid that he would catch a cold, so although he couldn't bear to wake him up, he still had to call him.

"Gu Yuan, get up and dry your hair first and go to bed." Ling Chao said softly, shaking his arm.

Gu Yuan didn't sleep well, but being woken up just after falling asleep made him a little uncomfortable.Watching him move his eyelids a few times before opening them, but only closing them again.The brow marks deepened.

Ling Chao had no choice but to go to the room to get the hair dryer, plug it in, and wake Gu Yuan up again.

This time he really woke up, Gu Yuan sat up slowly, rubbed his face vigorously with his palm a few times, and then asked Ling Chao in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

"Don't sleep here, I'm going to catch a cold soon. Go to bed and sleep." Ling Chao turned on the hair dryer and raised his hand to blow on Gu Yuan's hair.

"I..." After the hot air in the hair dryer swept over his head, Gu Yuan saw Ling Chao's movements clearly: "I'll do it myself."

"It's okay, just blow your hair casually." Ling Chao didn't stop.In fact, he has never blow-dried anyone's hair before, but now when he rubs Gu Yuan's hair according to the movement of blow-drying himself, he doesn't look unfamiliar at all.

Gu Yuan sat there, followed Ling Chao to do it, and didn't speak any more.

The two sat facing each other, Gu Yuan himself was a bit shorter than Ling Chao, with his head slightly lowered now, which was just right for Ling Chao to blow-dry his hair.For a moment, there was only the hum of the hair dryer in the whole room.

Gu Yuan felt Ling Chao's fingers running quickly through his hair, and the hot wind swayed left and right across every part of the top of his head. It only took tens of seconds for Ling Chao to make him turn around with a sound.

After drying Gu Yuan's hair, Ling Chao started tidying up his own.

Ling Chao's hair is longer than Gu Yuan's, and he doesn't have a specific hairstyle, but it's neatly trimmed.His hair was of good quality, jet black and smooth, and when blown by the blower, it all fell to one side, and the strands were distinct.

Gu Yuan was still very sleepy, and sat there with his eyes closed waiting for Ling Chao to clean up. Ling Chao noticed Gu Yuan's appearance, and dragged Gu Yuan to sleep on the bed in the bedroom after hastily blowing.

Ling Chao's hand held Gu Yuan's finger, but he didn't break free, he let himself be led and walked to the bedroom with Ling Chao.Seeing his obedient appearance, Ling Chao couldn't help pinching his hands hard, and quickly returned to his original state.

There was only one pillow on the bed, Gu Yuan didn't move, he got on the bed and moved inwards to the wall to lie down, put one hand on the pillow and was ready to sleep.

It was Ling Chao who stuffed the pillow for him and said to him, "I still have it in the closet, so you can sleep first."

Hearing what Ling Chao said, Gu Yuan dragged the pillow and closed his eyes.

He was really sleepy and fell asleep in just a second.

After all, he was still a child, Gu Yuan's sleepy appearance had a different feeling than usual, Ling Chao looked at him lying on his side covered by the quilt with only one head exposed, smiled and shook his head.

Maybe it was because he was a little sober after being washed by the water in the bath, but now Ling Chao didn't feel sleepy at all.He took out his mobile phone from his bag, and he didn't look at it all afternoon. At this time, there was an incoming call from his mother and several unread WeChat messages on the mobile phone.

Ling Chao checked WeChat first, and his mother asked him how he was doing now, and his former classmates asked him when he would be free to play, and there were a lot of new news in several groups.

Ling Chao glanced at Gu Yuan, who was breathing steadily, and walked out of the bedroom lightly with his mobile phone to the balcony of the living room to call his mother back.

After roughly talking about the situation here, my mother was relieved a lot.Finally, I apologized to my mother before closing the line.

There are still two days left for the National Day holiday, and now that I have returned to City D, I can't go out with my former classmates anymore. Ling Chao replied to their messages one by one, and even sent a few red envelopes to express his apology.Knowing that Ling Chao really left for something, everyone can actually understand. He said before that he wanted to form a group to see Ling Chao. This time he went back and didn't meet with them, so this matter was brought up again.

Ling Chao naturally agreed, saying that as long as they come over.He will bear all the food and lodging, which can be regarded as compensation for this dishonesty.

Although everyone would not really ask Ling Chao to pay, but Ling Chao can say that, of course the group of friends are also happy.A group of people made noise in the group for a while before gradually quieting down.

There is nothing else on the balcony of Ling Chao’s house except a chair and a small round table. He doesn’t know how to grow flowers, and he is afraid that adding those things will increase Aunt Chen’s workload, although Aunt Chen once asked to buy some Plants come, but he refuses.

He quite liked the feeling of emptiness, and the view from here was pretty good.His house is next to the fence of the community, so it is not blocked by the front and rear buildings. Ling Chao didn't pay attention to it before, but today, in the city that is about to enter the night, the lights of the stars spread from a distance to the eyes.

At this time, the night wind was stronger, and it was slightly cold, and Ling Chao didn't feel cold either.He nestled in the chair, still maintaining the posture just now.

For more than a day, his mind seemed to have never stopped, and all kinds of worries and anxieties stopped at this moment, but Gu Yuan was the only one left.

Ling Chao recalled everything that had happened since he and Gu Yuan knew each other, and he knew very clearly that he had a different feeling for Gu Yuan.But before today, he never thought of letting this feeling surface.Gu Yuan is still young, whether he can understand is still another matter.But today, he felt Gu Yuan's dependence and even intimacy with him. He didn't know Gu Yuan's attitude towards these things, but he couldn't look at them easily and naturally.But what should I do?Ling Chao didn't know either.

After sitting for a while, Ling Chao got up and closed the door and entered the bedroom when he felt that his body was completely cold.

The curtains in the bedroom were closed, and it was almost pitch black now. He didn't turn on the light, and followed the little light from the phone to the bed.Gu Yuan still kept his original sleeping posture, Ling Chao sighed softly, forget it, let's go to sleep first.

This sleep was so comfortable that Ling Chao didn't open his eyes until the biological clock woke him up at six o'clock.The light from outside came in through the cracks in the curtains, and the first thing Ling Chao saw was Gu Yuan with his eyes closed.

He was really good at sleeping, there was a big gap between the two of them, but they were still lying face to face.Ling Chao could clearly see the delicate skin on Gu Yuan's face and the twinkling nose.It should be really too sleepy, this person has slept for more than twelve hours and still doesn't seem to wake up at all.

Thinking that I have to go to the hospital to see Gu Qingqing today, and I have to change Gu's mother to come back to rest.Ling Chao stared at Gu Yuan in a daze, then turned over and got up first.
