The host is a willful great devil

Gu Yan fell out of the mission world, returned to the mission claiming space, and stared at the furball opposite.

1314 shook his hair, bounced over, and blinked at Gu Yan with big watery eyes, "The host is big, let's go home then?"

Gu Yan nodded, "Yes. Go home."

1314 excitedly said, "Okay~"

"Mobai and Orange must be starving."

1314 was taken aback.

……

The moment consciousness was restored, the headache brought on by the hangover instantly captured the high ground of consciousness.

"Meow~!" Mo Bai's cry drifted into his ears.

Although Mobai is a boy, his voice is very soft and cute. On the contrary, the girl, Orange, has a very hoarse and rough voice... When Gu Yan went to adopt him, all the litters of kittens were taken away. No one wanted the orange that made a strange cry, and was carried home by Gu Yan like a baby.

Mo Bai yelled, and Orange's voice soon came from far and near.

One licked his face and the other rubbed his head.

Gu Yan frowned and opened his eyes with difficulty.The numbness burst from the fingertips of the right hand all the way to the shoulder, and almost the entire right half of the body was paralyzed—the posture of falling down was wrong, and after a day and a night of pressure, it was almost useless.

Blinking his eyes, he could clearly see the oranges licking his mouth and the black ink rubbing his head close in front of him.Gu Yan raised his left hand and touched them one by one, then smiled softly, "I'm back."

He sat up on the ground with his left hand, slightly moved his right arm, which was suffering from constant numbness, and grinned in pain.After gradually regaining consciousness, he stood up while leaning on the wall, and walked into the kitchen in a nonchalant manner.

It's okay, after more than a day, the food is gone, the water is still there, and the litter box is not too horrible.Gu Yan scratched the tip of his nose, and began to serve his two masters without complaint.

Halfway through the work, Gu Yan's stomach was growling with hunger.After all, he lay on the ground without eating all day.

After setting up the things of the two masters, Gu Yan habitually went to the refrigerator, only to find that his refrigerator was full of canned cat food, cat wet food, small dried fish, and no melons, fruits, or vegetables.

Gu Yan scratched the corner of his mouth, remembering what kind of virtue he was in the past, and went back to the kitchen to open the cabinet—a pile of instant noodles.

After all, according to my previous cooking skills, I can cook noodles.Also fast and convenient.

After eating the instant noodles to appease his hungry stomach for a while, Gu Yan collapsed on the sofa, quietly enjoying the warmth of the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

Look at the time, only 6:27.

Gu Yan stared at the phone for a while, and dialed a number skillfully.

"Dad, are you up?"

"Why did you get up so early? Is there something wrong?" Papa Gu was obviously surprised.

Gu Yan smiled, "Adjust your schedule, and try to go to bed early and get up early in the future. Do you have to have something to do to call you? If you have nothing to do, you can't call?"

"It's not really..." Papa Gu was obviously in a state of being out of touch with Gu Yan's "nothing" phone call.

"I missed you and my mother, so I made a phone call." After Gu Yan finished speaking, his heart was beating like a drum, and he was extremely nervous.He repeatedly urged himself to take a deep breath and relax.

Hadn't there been a "dress rehearsal" in the previous world?It will be fine.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Papa Gu laughed.Very comforting, but also very overwhelmed.

Papa Gu laughed a few more times, the more he laughed, the happier he became, but finally he said, "Then, then I'll give your mother the phone number, you can talk to your mother."

Gu Yan laughed.His father is like this, not good at words.

"Don't, don't." Gu Yan quickly pulled him back, thought for a while, and said, "Dad, how is your health recently?"

Pooh!Why are you so divided?

Gu Yan is still scratching his head and scratching his head in disgust with himself, while Gu's father is also very nervous, "It's fine. It's fine. Your mother and I are fine....You don't have to worry about it."

"Does your incision still hurt now?"

Half a year ago, Gu's father discovered a tumor growing on his kidney. At that time, the hospital could not judge whether it was benign or malignant through external observation. It had to be removed first and then pathologically dissected.Gu's father said that he has a lucky face, so it is definitely not malignant, and the operation was not major, so he did it secretly, so he didn't need to tell Gu Yan who was far away in the imperial capital.

Gu's mother is usually hot-tempered and one-sided, but when it comes to this matter, she can't think about it at all. She just thinks about what to do if it is vicious, and almost even thinks about Gu's father's funeral.So how could she endure such a big thing without telling Gu Yan.

She not only told Gu Yan, but also asked Gu Yan to find the best hospital and the best surgeon in the capital.

Gu Yan had a headache.

First, he did not believe that his father's tumor would be malignant.He couldn't understand how Gu's mother's sense of crisis of "people are dying" and the sense of panic like ants in a hot pot emerged.Can't we just do the surgery first and wait for the results of the appraisal with peace of mind?What's more, even if it is determined to be vicious, can his father get better if he gets angry?For some things, you can only do your best and obey the destiny, right?

Second, even if he made a little money writing books, Gu Yan is just an ant in the huge imperial capital!How could he have the ability to arrange for his father to go to the best hospital to hire the best doctor?Would you like to be numbered?Half a year in a row!But in the tertiary hospital in the provincial capital of his hometown, relying on his parents' connections for many years, a bed can be vacated in minutes for surgery.The operation can't be delayed, not to mention that the doctor in the imperial capital must be a god, and the doctor in the provincial capital of his hometown must be a scum?

Gu Yan told Mama Gu about this on the phone, but she was scolded by Mama Gu, you heartless little bastard, you don't know how to call home all year round, you don't have me and your dad in your heart at all!Then mother Gu dropped the phone.

Gu Yan was rushing a book that was about to be published at the time, and being made such a fuss by Gu's mother, it was like a head and two big heads.

Hmph, I don't have you in my heart?When have you ever had me in your heart?

Gu Yan, who was full of anger, still bought the air ticket for the day, sent Mobai and Orange to the foster care, and rushed home overnight.

Under the joint persuasion of his uncle, Gu's mother, who had always relied on Uncle Gu Yan, finally agreed to perform the operation at home.

Both Gu's father and Gu's mother have not yet reached retirement age, and they are both upper-middle-level leaders in their respective units.Papa Gu has a sick leave certificate issued by the hospital, so he can take long-term leave.Mother Gu can't do it here.Therefore, Gu Yan, who was regarded as "idling around" and "where the code word is not code", stayed at home to take care of Gu's father.

But at that time, Gu Yan was simply a "good-for-nothing". Apart from being able to help Gu's mother tidy up the room, the food he cooked was not edible at all, let alone that the food had to be eaten by patients.Gu's mother went to work every day, and she was busy with three meals a day to support the old and the strong. In addition, she was waiting for the results of the pathological autopsy, and she was very anxious.

Gu's mother and Gu's father have been married for 30 years, and in Gu Yan's memory, almost two-thirds of the time they were in a state of quarreling and cold war.Even now that Gu's father is recovering from a serious illness, the relationship between the two of them has not eased.But Gu's mother couldn't bear to do anything to Gu's father who was seriously injured, so she could only catch Gu Yan and scold him when he had nothing to do. He was almost thirty and didn't have a daughter-in-law. He couldn't do housework or cook. It's no use staying at home or anything like that.

Gu's mother went to work, and it was the taciturn father's turn to reprimand Gu Yan.

I don't know if it was a psychological problem after the operation, but Gu's father was quite irritable during that time, and he didn't like anything.A single hair found in the bathroom could turn Gu Yan into ashes.In short, there is a problem with everything at home, including Gu Yan.

For these, Gu Yan just accepted it with a good temper.

Codeword?It is impossible for Gu Yan, who is not being called around by his parents all the time, to be in a mood.

Gu Yan has lived for 27 years, and he has never contradicted his parents for 27 years.He has been a "child of someone else" since he was a child, and he can make money when he grows up. He doesn't know why his parents are still so dissatisfied with him.Are you trying to force him to death?

Two months later, the pathological autopsy results came out, benign.

The whole family is overjoyed, except Gu Yan.

Benign is of course good news.But this was the last straw that broke Gu Yan's patience.Gu's father's surgical incision has almost healed, so Gu Yan packed up his things and said, I'm back in the imperial capital, there is something to do there.

Gu's mother and Gu's father also saw that Gu Yan was bored at home during this time.Anyway, they got tired of looking at Gu Yan, so Gu Yan let him go if he wanted to.

They didn't know that because of this matter, Gu Yan failed to publish the social article on time and paid more than 30 in liquidated damages.

After returning to the imperial capital, Gu Yan seemed to have completely forgotten about the family affairs, and never called home.Gu's mother always called and scolded him, scolding him for being a cold-blooded animal with no conscience, Gu's father just finished the operation and he was still not in good shape, and the little bastard didn't know how to ask for warmth and so on.

Gu Yan symbolically sent a WeChat message to his father, "Dad, how are you doing?"

Papa Gu replied, "Very good."

Then there is no text.

Now, after half a year - of course, for Gu Yan, it has been more than 500 years since he called home for the first time to ask about this matter.

"Hey, I'm fine now, there is just a scar, it doesn't hurt or itch. It's alright."

Gu Yan could tell that Gu's father had always spoken cheerfully.He bowed his head and smiled at the other end of the phone, scolding himself for being nothing, and then said, "Oh, Dad, I hung up the phone. Let's make a video call and show me how your wound is healing."

"Video call?" Papa Gu was taken aback.

"Give the phone to my mom, she will do it."

Gu Yan listened to the conversation between Gu's father and Gu's mother on the phone——

Papa Gu: "A call from your son."

Mother Gu: "You have hands and feet, so you can't bring it to me? Didn't you watch me cook? I cook for you and feed you all day long. When can you cook me a meal? You're too lazy to jingle every day. ! Hello? Little brat, is the sun coming out in the west? Finally know that I am calling home?"

Gu Yan laughed right here.In the past, he simply felt that his parents quarreled all day long and spoke in a bad manner, but now it seems...they are actually very affectionate, right?

Otherwise, why haven't they divorced after so many years of quarreling?Otherwise, why can I cook for you for decades?

"I miss you, so I'll make a phone call." Gu Yan tried to relax his tone with a playful smile, but after finishing a sentence, his eyes couldn't help but blush.

There was also a stunned silence on the other end of the phone.

"I want to start a video call, but my dad can't, you answer it."

"Oh, fine. Your dad is old-fashioned, and he doesn't learn anything new."

Papa Gu said next to him, "Only you can do it, I can't do it without you, okay?"

The video call was started, and Gu Yan said, "Dad, it's not me talking about you. From now on, talk to my mother carefully, don't always choke on the other party. The sentence just now 'I can't do without you', what a good sentence. Next time, be gentle. In a soft tone, tell my mother well?"

Papa Gu blew his beard and stared at his eyes, covering up his inexplicably hot face, "Stinky boy, you're still in charge of me!"

Gu Yan nodded, "Yeah. I'll take care of it in the future. I used to think that I was a child and you were adults, why you didn't understand what I knew, and you had to quarrel every day. Now I've woken up, I've grown up Now that you are adults, you two are just two children, I have to take care of you. Take care of your health, and take care of you not to quarrel."

Papa Gu held back for a long time before uttering, "You brat."

After chatting with Gu's father and Gu's mother, before ending the call, Gu Yan said seriously, "Mom and Dad, I love you. I will go home to see you in a few days."

The relationship between parent and child is inexplicably missed in every possible way after being separated for a long time, and it is boring to see each other after being together for a long time.So Gu Yan would go home once every 20 days, go back to see the situation, and stay for 2 or 3 days, or 4 or 5 days, before the parental jealousy towards him was gone, and the disgust hadn't arisen. Hurry up and leave.

When Gu Yan was 35, he was frantically urged to marry by his parents, but at this time, the relationship between Gu Yan and his parents was already very good, and they had infiltrated a lot on weekdays, intentionally or unintentionally. own sexual orientation.It seemed that the old and stubborn Papa Gu accepted this reality more easily than Mama Gu, and even helped Gu Yan to persuade Mama Gu.

The old couple didn't urge Gu Yan to get married, but they always felt that being single was nothing.Especially later on, the atmosphere at home gradually became more open. They kept asking Gu Yan if he had any regular companions, and if they did, they would bring them back to have a meal together and get to know each other.Gu Yan said, "I have a companion, and I'm in a good relationship. Don't worry about it."

Some film and television producers kept contacting Gu Yan, saying that they were very optimistic about Gu Yan's book and wanted to make it into a TV series or movie.But they were all rejected by Gu Yan.The reason for the rejection was "You can't find a suitable actor to act like him in my heart".

Mobai and Orange also thrived under Gu Yan's careful care.It's just that Juzi, who was cursed by him, failed to escape the fate of getting fatter and fatter. He died of kidney failure at the age of 17.

When it left, it didn't hide in the gap of the cardboard box, but it was quietly coiled on Gu Yan's lap, and it was still hanging in the pet hospital with water.Some sleepy Gu Yan realized that Ju Zi was not breathing, and after a moment of surprise, he found himself unexpectedly calm.

Mobai lived 2 years longer than Orange, and has always been healthy and free from disasters and diseases, but he is too old to move and spends all day lying on the window sill basking in the sun.The real black ink is actually very cold.It will monitor its shit-shoveling officer taking a bath and going to the toilet, and does not give Gu Yan any privacy. It will also squat beside the bed and watch silently when Gu Yan is lying on the bed with a headache and brain fever, but if he wants to sleep with it, there is no way. son of a bitch.

So one day when Gu Yan slept until midnight and felt Mo Bai sticking over, he suddenly realized something.

He lay down with his eyes closed until dawn, feeling the soft, warm ball of fur next to his head cooling down a little bit...

When Gu's father was 77 years old, it was discovered that a new tumor had grown in the place where the previous tumor had grown.Gu's father and Gu's mother, who had long regarded Gu Yan as the backbone of the family, no longer had the stubbornness and toughness of earlier years, and everything was arranged by Gu Yan.

First arranged for Gu’s father to have a resection operation in the provincial capital hospital. Since the first operation had already injured part of the kidney, and this time the tumor was very large, the possibility of a malignant tumor was also high. The doctor suggested that the entire kidney be removed directly. .The firm results came quickly - vicious indeed.The medical resources in the imperial capital are tight, and it is really difficult to get a bed in a hospital that is better than the provincial capital.After all, Papa Gu is very old, after a major operation, it is not possible to get out of bed and go home after staying for a week.

Probably due to the age, Gu's father and Gu's mother are very open about life and death.Gu's mother persuaded Gu Yan, who was in a hurry to get angry, "Back then, I had to ask you to find a hospital in the imperial capital because your father was still young at that time, so I was very afraid that the hospital at home could not do well, misdiagnosed or something. What should I do if it is delayed? Now that your father is at this age, and it is determined to be malignant, the treatment is the same everywhere. You should stop asking for help and contact you."

Gu's father didn't want to undergo chemotherapy, thinking it was a waste of money.Gu Yan said, Dad, I have no children or daughters in this life, so who else can I give this money to if I don't give it to you and my mother?Gu's father patted Gu Yan, who was already over half a hundred years old, and said, "Stinky boy, you have just started the second half of your life. You should save more money for yourself if you have no children. Otherwise, your mother and I will leave... how can you rest assured?" And you."

After all, Gu Yan failed to convince his parents, and he also felt that it was really too much to spend the rest of his life on chemotherapy...

So, Papa Gu went home after the operation.

Gu Yan has long since stopped writing books.For the books he wrote when he was young, the copyright fee alone was enough for him to squander for many years.Therefore, Gu Yan's life was completely focused on taking care of his parents.

Although the family hired a helper, Gu Yan always did the cooking by himself.After all, after so many years of practice, the craftsmanship can be called a chef level.

Father Gu's mentality is very good. He didn't feel depressed all day long because he learned that he had an incurable disease. He went out for a walk regularly every day, played Tai Chi with a group of old friends, played chess, and was not affected by chemotherapy. Live happily ever after.Gu's mother's mentality is also very good, unlike the time when she was anxious and angry more than 20 years ago, dancing square dance with a group of old sisters every day is also very refreshing.

Papa Gu celebrated his 80th birthday happily.Wearing a birthday hat, he said cheerfully, "Oh, I'm already 80. I have a good wife and such a good son in this life. I will die without regret."

Gu's mother knocked Gu's father with her chopsticks, "Damned old man, what nonsense are you talking about. If you are doing well like this, you will definitely live for several years."

Gu's father looked at Gu Yan and wanted to say, the only regret is that he didn't see someone by his side, why was he so lonely all his life... But he couldn't say that.What should be said, he and Gu's mother have said it so many times in the early years.Talking too much is annoying.

Why couldn't Gu Yan see what his parents were hesitating to say while looking at him, so he just smiled and said, "Hurry up, eat~"

"Happy 80th birthday dad! I'm still waiting to celebrate your 90th birthday~"

Papa Gu: "Brat, think well."

"How can this be a beautiful idea~" Gu Yan turned his head and said to Gu's mother, "Mom, you will be 80 in two years, and you will still be beautiful~"

"Little bastard's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!" Gu's mother cheerfully gave him a proud look, "I'm already old, what's so beautiful about it?"

"If it weren't for your beautiful mother and your handsome father, how could there be me, the son of Yushu Linfeng~"

Papa Gu: "Well, it's true that my son is facing the wind in Yushu."

In this way, the family lived an ordinary life of peace and joy, and the shadow of cancer seemed to be completely gone.

Although, Papa Gu had to swallow painkillers more and more frequently.

But before Gu's father's condition deteriorated further, Gu's mother actually took a step ahead.

That morning, Ms. Gu changed into the youth invincible group uniform as usual, and went to the park with her old sisters to dance in the square.Papa Gu also followed the old guys to do Tai Chi in the park.Gu Yan took the time to prepare breakfast, and waited for his parents to come back to eat with the family.

Breakfast was ready, Gu Yan sat on the sofa and watched the morning news, waiting for his parents to come home.

The phone rang, and Gu Yan looked down, it was Gu's mother's phone.But it wasn't Gu's mother's voice who answered the answer.

"Hello? Gu Yan? I'm your Aunt Hu! Come to the park quickly! Your mother fell down!"

"Ah? Fall? Why did you fall?"

"Don't ask, just come here."

The gate of the park and the gate of the community where Gu Yan's family lives are facing each other, very close.Gu Yan hurried to the square where Gu's mother usually danced square dances. People had already moved Gu's mother to the bench in the pavilion next to her, surrounded by a group of old men and women.

When Gu Yan pushed his way through the crowd to see how Gu's mother was doing, Aunt Hu, who called him, hugged him.

"Aunt Hu? My mother..."

Aunt Hu interrupted him, "Gu Yan, you, you have to hold on."

There was a bang in Gu Yan's head, as if something was about to squeeze through his scalp and come out desperately, and it seemed that the temperature in his whole body was rapidly dissipating with the loss of blood.He smiled, "Aunt Hu? You..."

"Your mother... is gone..."

Gu Yan looked at her, smiled "You lied to me", pushed aside the people standing in front of him, and rushed to Mama Gu who was lying quietly on the bench, touched her still warm face, and said in a low voice. Called, "Mom? Mom, what's wrong with you? How many times have I told you to eat breakfast before coming back, or you will easily pass out due to hypoglycemia. Mom? Mom, can you hear me?"

Gu Yan looked at Gu's mother, took out his mobile phone with shaking hands, and dialed 120.

As soon as the phone was attached to the ear, it was taken away.Gu Yan turned his head, "Dad?!"

"Your mother left. She tripped herself while dancing, fell on the ground, and left." Father Gu said calmly, raising his hand to touch Gu Yan's head, "Xi Sang, don't be sad."

With tears rolling in his eyes, Gu Yan shook his head in disbelief, and choked up, "It's not... Dad... My mother... My mother..." He snatched the phone back without saying anything, and dialed 120 directly.

The "beep" sound of the wiring was infinitely elongated in the anxious waiting, which made people panic.Gu Yan stared at Gu's mother who was lying peacefully on the bench, and the feeling of blood rushing was particularly obvious, so obvious that it made him want to vomit, but it was like a lump in his throat, preventing him from vomiting.

"Hello! 120 emergency center! Do you need any urgent help?"

Gu Yan tried his best to control his emotions, and was about to speak, when the crowd suddenly burst into exclamations, "Old Gu—!" "Old Gu, boss—!"

Gu Yan turned his head.

"Hello? Hello? Sir? Sir?"

……

Gu's father had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and he was declared ineffective before being sent to the hospital and died.

The breakfast on the dining table was still slightly steamy, but no one would eat with Gu Yan any more.

……

On March [-]th, Gu Yan carried a bag of paper money and gold ingots by himself, and in the dark of night, he squatted at the intersection and burned them silently.

The light of the fire swayed in the night wind, flickering and flickering, reflecting on the face that had suddenly changed a lot.

The last gleam of fire was annihilated in the black ashes, Gu Yan stood up, just as a gust of night wind hit, blowing his windbreaker and scarf, rolling up the remaining ashes on the ground, swirling, and blowing it not far away, It melted into the boundless night and disappeared into the invisible.

"I think they have been together for five or sixty years, and they can quarrel about everything. When the quarrel was fierce, I once wanted to shout at them, divorce them if I don't like each other!...But I didn't expect that my mother left Now, my dad followed." Gu Yan smiled bitterly, "I don't care about my son's feelings at all."

The so-called deep affection is nothing more than that.

Suddenly, I felt that the life and death I had experienced was a bit ridiculous.

Really good life experience.

Gu Yan sighed, shook his head slightly, turned around to face the howling night wind, and stepped into the shadow of the street lamp.

"Are you there? 1314."

"The host is great! 1314 has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"I've been waiting for a long time. Take me back."
