alternate performance

Xu Chenhe couldn't remember the rest of the process clearly.

His brain seems to have become very small, so small that he can only hold down a kiss that Gu Congran gave when he was protecting him, and the rest is full of crimson eyes.They were crowded in his mind, trying to drive out all the ambulance horns that received him, but the rhythmic horns were always clear in his ears.

Xu Chenhe's arms became extremely heavy. He caught Gu Congran who was lying in his arms, and his eyes met the man in black who was dragged away by two security guards.The other party's hands were waving wildly in mid-air, and he didn't know what he was saying. Xu Chenhe could only make out two clearly pronounced words.

Xie Miao.

Someone picked up the bloody sharp knife, and the onlookers holding their mobile phones moved the camera to the faces of the two people who were embracing each other.The theater was closed, and the staff set up a barrier around it, yelling and shoving people outside.

The well-trained medical staff did a simple treatment for Gu Congran's bleeding wound and carried him onto the stretcher. Xu Chenhe's arms were empty. He tried to follow several times, but his legs were shaking so that he couldn't walk straight.

The doctor who walked at the end turned his head and asked, "A family member is allowed to accompany the ambulance. Are you the family member of the injured?"

Subconsciously, Xu Chenhe nodded: "Yes."

A similar scene reappeared in front of his eyes, Xu Chenhe chased the stretcher bed that transported Gu Congran, but was stopped in front of the operating room, Gu Congran raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Even though they were separated by many meters, Xu Chenhe could still be sure that it was him that Gu Congran saw in his eyes.

It was Xu Chenhe.

The vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket pulled Xu Chenhe out of his messy thoughts, he squatted down against the wall, and answered the call from Tang Sui.

"Xu Chenhe!" Tang Sui's roar was mixed with the noise of the streetcar motor, "Are you in Shiyi? I'm coming here now!"

Gu Congran's cell phone in another pocket also rang endlessly, incoming calls and messages flooded the screen, and the breathing light flickered gently, unaffected by the rapid vibrations.

It seems like the whole world knows.

When Tang Sui arrived, Xu Shenhe was still squatting on the ground, staring blankly at the red light on the operating room.After being pulled up by Tang Sui and pressed on the bench, Xu Chenhe looked away and looked down at his clasped hands.

"Moisturize your throat." Tang Sui stuffed a bottle of mineral water into Xu Chenhe's hand, "How long has he been in?"

"Ten...Two 10 minutes," Xu Chenhe pressed his phone to confirm the time, "I can't figure it out."

He only felt that he had been waiting for a century, but the time on his phone was still at four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.The hot summer has not yet passed, "Outside the Window" has not yet been released, and Gu Congran has not left his life.

"It's okay, I'll wait with you." Tang Sui sat down beside him, put his elbows on his knees, took out his phone and went online for a while, and once he logged in to his account, various marketing accounts on the platform pushed him hot spots with similar copywriting .

Today's trending hot spots are nothing more than "Boss Hyun-Ran defends love" and "Xie Miao's illegitimate meal".The Internet is an amazing thing, and so are people.

Xu Chenhe warmed up a bottle of ice water, and there was cold damp between his fingers.He unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank a few sips of water. He drank too fast and choked. Tang Sui patted his back and said, "Take your time, no one will grab you."

"I'm so capricious," Xu Chenhe wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, "It's like a different person, I love to lose my temper at him, it doesn't make sense at all, and I can't control it every time."

"He who doesn't lose his temper is called a saint, and you are a mortal." Tang Sui tilted his head to look at Xu Chenhe. It's better for the other party to talk for a while than not to say anything. Sadness is a trivial matter, and the spirit can't be stimulated. He might not be comfortable not taking it out on him."

Xu Chenhe couldn't laugh, this time he watched Gu Congran get hurt because of him, and how reckless the other party was when he rushed towards him, he could feel it from the temperature passed to him by those arms.Xie Miao in the movie is a traumatized person with no mercy. He thought he was the same, but Gu Congran told him with his eyes when he was conscious that he would be luckier than Xie Miao.

Staring at the lit screen of Tang Sui's mobile phone, Xu Chenhe asked in a low voice: "Is this incident spread on the Internet?"

Tang Sui turned off his phone, and said helplessly, "Videos from different perspectives have been uploaded to major platforms. Even what happens to ordinary citizens will become rumors, not to mention the identities of the two of you..." He spread his hands, and everyone agreed with some words Unannounced.

Later, Gu Congran's family members came to find him. Wei Fangling strode ahead in flat heels. Gu Shenli was two steps behind, but there was unspeakable concern hidden under his tense face. A stream of blood is wrapped in worries that he only knows clearly.

Gu Congran was still awake after the surgery, he still lived in the single room last time, and was lying on the bed with water hanging on his face.Xu Shenhewo scrubbed the clothes for him in the bathroom, changed the water in the basin over and over again, and when the water was changed again, the cloth still showed red.

Xu Chenhe was unprepared for the sudden visit of the old couple. The last time the two sides met was two years ago. At that time, the atmosphere was harmonious. Gu Shenli told him that Gu Congran saw the right person, and Wei Fangling gave him a beautiful potted plant. Thinking of meeting again is in such a deep atmosphere.

Holding a few wet clothes hung on a hanger, he was stunned at the door of the bathroom. Xu Chenhe didn't say hello, and it wasn't right if he didn't say hello. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he only waited for them to reprimand them in the next moment.

In the end, it was the mobile phone in his pocket that broke the silence first. The Public Security Bureau called and asked him to come to the bureau to make a statement.The ward was silent, and the conversation between Xu Chenhe and the police was overheard by the people in the ward. After the call ended, Wei Fangling took the initiative to say, "I'll go with you."

There will definitely be more things involved in the bureau. Gu Congran's previous hiding of Jiang Hua's death information and finding Xu Chenhe to pretend to be Jiang Hua will definitely be held accountable. To make a record, it is better to say that he is exonerating his son.

Gu Shenli and Gu Congran were the only ones left in the ward. The former paced back and forth at the end of the bed with his hands behind his back, stepped onto the balcony and closed the glass door, biting a cigarette, and while puffing, he fiddled with the clothes hanging on the rack.

The fabric of the shirt was thin, and there was a hole more than ten centimeters long in the fabric on the back. Along the edge of the hole was a light-colored blood stain that couldn't be washed off.Gu Shenli compared the length of the damaged opening with his hands, extinguished the cigarette and went back to the room, and nodded near Gu Congran's wound: "I really don't want my life."

But it's okay, better than when I got sick a few years ago.

When Gu Congran woke up, he was facing his father's unsmiling face. As soon as he moved, Gu Shenli pressed his shoulders: "Lie down."

"I want to put some water." Gu Congran said.

As soon as he moved, the wound hurt like being bitten by a wild animal. Gu Congran was sweating all over his neck after he stretched his body.He lay back on his stomach, staring sideways at the needle that was about to be finished: "Forget it, hold it in for a while."

"You want this?" Gu Shenli took out a urinal from under the bed.

Gu Congran rolled his eyes: "No need."

Gu Shenli put the thing back: "The doctor said that you have [-] stitches on your back, just take it these days, your mother and I are here, just call us if you need anything."

Over the years, the father and son lived in harmony for no more than 24 hours. Gu Congran had nothing to say to him. Seeing that the injection was finished, he pointed to the bell on the head of the bed and said, "Call me the nurse."

After the needle was withdrawn, after the nurse checked the wound, Gu Congran changed his side-lying position: "Where is my mother?"

"Something to do." Gu Shenli said.

Gu Congran pressed the needle on the back of his hand, expecting his father to say something, but Gu Shenli was like a log, neither of them had the desire to chat with each other.

It wasn't until the sunset was gone that Wei Fangling hurried back from the outside. Gu Congran's face turned purple: "Mom, where is Xu Chenhe?"

"Just miss him, and don't say hello when I see him." Wei Fangling put down the bag, first changed the water in Gu Congran's cup to room temperature water, and then pulled his clothes to see if the wound oozes blood, "He went back, Although you blocked the knife for him, if you didn't let him pretend to be Jiang Hua in the first place, you wouldn't have provoked this illegitimate meal, wouldn't you?"

Gu Shenli glanced at his wife.

Helping Gu Congran to put on his clothes, Wei Fangling helped him to sit up and sit down: "At best, you were cut for yourself. Xiaohe was still guilty, and I think this analysis is right."

Looking forward to the result in two hours, Gu Congran suddenly felt that the pain that he could bear just now was tormenting him densely, spreading from the back to the surface of every part of the body, and then penetrated into the depths of the chest cavity.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't express how sad he was in front of his parents. Gu Congran took a sip of water and suppressed the soreness in his throat: "That's right, I owe him the original."

"Brainless." Gu Shenli snorted coldly, turned his back and walked out, Wei Fangling squeezed Gu Congran's shoulder, and said, "Your father is hard to say because of love, please understand."

Before coming in, I asked a doctor to understand Gu Congran's knife wound. Although Wei Fangling did not show too much emotion on his face, the worry in his eyes could not be concealed from others, and his eyes went straight to Gu Congran's back: "Yes. Doesn’t it hurt a lot? Seeing that you are sitting up straight and dare not bend over, remember to sleep on your stomach at night and don’t turn over, so as not to press on the wound.”

"I have a sense of proportion, don't worry." Gu Congran looked at the sky, "Mom, can you go out and buy me a meal? It doesn't need to be too rich, as long as there is meat."

Wei Fangling saw that the time was about the same, she picked up her bag and got up: "Okay, I'll go out to eat with your dad first, pack it for you, and find a place to stay, we don't know this city well."

"But I..." Gu Congran felt his family's unreliability for the first time in his life, but when he thought of the two of them flying to this strange place to take care of him without saying a word, he took back everything he said, "Okay, I'm not too hungry."

When he was left alone in the empty ward, Gu Congran repeated the words that Gu Shenli had hurt him.

"Mindless."

"Who are you scolding?" Someone pushed the door open and came in. The gentle voice was like a series of electric currents swimming through Gu Congran's body, and his eyes were covered with a layer of light to look at the person who entered the room: "Why are you here?"

"It's time to pay off the debt." Xu Chenhe put down his things, and first took off his mask to breathe.

The front door was surrounded by reporters. He took a long way to enter the hospital from the back door. Unexpectedly, there were a few entertainers who were very good at recording, and they guarded the back door when there was no one at the front door.No matter what Xu Chenhe said, he had also been in the entertainment industry for two years, so he managed to bypass the entertainment journal before sneaking in. It was just after taking a bath on a hot day and sweating.

Putting the dining table up, Xu Chenhe neatly laid out the thermos buckets in layers: "Eat first or drink soup first?"

After observing Xu Chenhe's eyes for a long time, Gu Congran confirmed that there was no disgust in them. After realizing it, he realized that the reason why Gu Shenli scolded him was that it was not his family members who were unreliable, but himself who was teased by Wei Fangling.

He moved his body, stepped on slippers, and the knife wound seemed to no longer hurt: "I've been holding it all afternoon, I want to put the water on first."
