So the pond will drown

You too are in tune with the world.

........................

Today's weather is warm, not too hot, and not too cool, even the noisy cicadas are covered under the thick shade of trees, warm and bright.

Gu Chi leaned against the window of the back seat of the taxi, the light came in from outside the glass and sprinkled on his face, he squinted his eyes and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Light is sunlight.

Before yesterday, he might have enjoyed the pleasure and warmth brought by this nature, but when he woke up this morning, he suddenly felt that the light was too harsh, making his eyes hurt and his heart tense.

If you live too clearly, the pain will be infinitely magnified.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Gu Chi politely said thank you habitually, paid the money, and stepped into the gate of the hospital facing the warm summer sun.

This is the best hospital in Nanyang, and it is also the place where Gu Chi can't afford to take his mother with him no matter what, but Jiang Yu arranged his mother in a VIP single ward with a simple phone call, and gave his mother the best medical equipment and resources. .

To change to before, this is simply a luxury.

This is the gap between people.

Obviously he is no different from Jiang Yu, but because his status is not as high as Jiang Yu's, he is destined to be controlled by others.

This is reality and the norm in society.

For a moment, Gu Chi didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

When Gu Chi entered the mother's ward, she was leaning on the bed and watching TV, and there was a woman with a kind face standing next to her, she looked like a nurse, she should have been hired by Jiang Yu.

But the mother looked very uncomfortable, her fingers were twitching together uneasy, her expression was not natural, and her mind was obviously not on the TV.

Gu Chi sorted out his emotions outside, trying to temporarily hide the dirty things that happened from last night to today.

Seeing that his mood was a little bit wrong, his mother must ask more questions. He didn't want anyone to worry about him, especially his mother who was still ill.

"Mom." Gu Chi stood at the door and called her with a smile. He was wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt today, with a pair of very casual casual pants underneath, which complemented his height and long legs. Eye-catching, the nurse's aunt was stunned.

It is rare to have such a handsome child.

Gu Chi greeted her politely, walked to the chair in front of his mother's bed and sat down, Gu Chi was gentle and gentle, it was hard to give a bad impression.

When the mother saw him, she raised the corners of her mouth like a child seeing Tang, her eyes lit up, and Gu Chi's heart also twitched.

She doesn't know anything yet.

The nurse took a look at Gu Chi, stood up with a sensible smile and said, "Then I'll get Madam a cup of hot water, and you two talk first."

Gu Chi said "En", with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for your hard work."

The nurse said with some embarrassment: "No, no, I also use money to do things."

Gu Chi smiled.

As soon as the nurse walked away, the mother immediately rushed over and grabbed his hand, and said nervously: "Xiaochi, what's going on, your head teacher called last night and said that you have something to do at school and you can't come back until today. The classmate lives in the dormitory, why did he come so late? Also, why did so many people come in the morning and send me to the hospital? How expensive is it here, you..."

"Mom." Gu Chi called her helplessly, his warm palm gently covering the back of her hand.

He knew that his mother was afraid that he would do something bad in rushing to treat her illness.

Although it was indeed forced to do it.

"Last night...I did have something to do so I stayed in the dormitory. This morning, it was Uncle Chen who had something to discuss with me, so he came a little late." Gu Chi said without changing his face.

Uncle Chen is his school sponsor.

Gu Chi lied in front of his mother, every time because he had to. He only did this when he was working part-time to make money and lied to his mother that he would stay in the classroom to study. He was very honest in other aspects, and he never embarrassed or worried his mother.

His mother looked at him anxiously: "What's the matter?"

Gu Chi's mind was running fast, and his mother was sensitive and smart, and nothing wrong could escape her eyes. Gu Chi thought about it quickly, and then said unhurriedly: "It's about your hospitalization."

"Me?" Mother was taken aback.

"That's right," Gu Chi smiled cheerfully, "I'm worried about your illness. I've discussed it with Uncle Chen long ago. Uncle Chen only agreed to come down this morning. Wouldn't this send you to the hospital right away? You Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the medical bills, and you don't have to worry about me... Uncle Chen is a nice person, he said that as long as I am up-to-date, I can get into Q University and I will repay him."

The mother stared at him for a while, and saw that he was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, remained silent for a while, and sighed, "I'm the one who dragged you down."

Gu Chi frowned when he heard this, and his voice also lowered: "Mom, when I was young, everything you and your father did was for me. Now that I have grown up, even though my father is gone, I still have to do it for you." Everything I do is just for you."

When the mother looked at her sensible son, her eyes instantly turned red. Since she was a child, everyone envied her son to be obedient and well-behaved. He never caused trouble, was polite and cute, and was as warm as a little sun.

But since his father passed away, Gu Chi has become a lot more indifferent. Although he is still gentle and polite when interacting with others, he is always distant and indifferent everywhere. Arguing with others, the sensible one makes people feel distressed, and the indifferent one makes people feel sad.

With bitterness in her heart, she choked with sobs and said, "If your father sees our Xiaochi being so upbeat, he must be very happy."

His father has always been the softest part of his and his mother's hearts, and once triggered, he can't control it. The days when he had his father were the real happiness for Gu Chi and his mother, but his father's departure was too unexpected.

So later, my mother was afraid that he would lack fatherly love, and that his childhood would leave a shadow, so she was forced to marry someone, who is now his stepfather. Gu Chi felt guilty.

But she was not the only one who felt guilty.

Gu Chi's nose was a little sore, and he tilted his head gently on the hand held by his mother and himself as if to cover up, sniffed his nose quietly, and said in a muffled voice:

"Mom, I will become stronger."

........................

Gu Chi didn't go back to school, so of course he couldn't take the initiative to go to Jiang Yu's house, and took the time to go back to his former home.

To his surprise, his stepfather, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was actually at home, but he looked a little stiff, holding a document in his hand, staring at it for a long time, and didn't know what he was looking at.

"Uncle Zhou."

Although Gu Chi doesn't have a good relationship with him, but after living with him for so many years, Zhou Qi didn't do anything wrong to him, at least he didn't abuse him. .Of course, it may also be because he was already in junior high school when he and Zhou Qi moved together.He was not short when he was in junior high school. Because he likes sports, he has developed well in all aspects, except Jiang Yu, who looks like a lunatic who looks like a practicing family man. He fights with others and wants to win. One-on-one is actually Still not a problem.

Especially Zhou Qi looked really weak.This is also the reason why his mother married him in the first place, with a gentle and gentle look on his face.He has a really good temper, and he was willing to go out to work at first, but when he saw that his mother was earning a good income, he simply quit his job and idled away, eating, drinking and having fun for nothing.

Moreover, Zhou Qi is indeed a scholar, but if he reads crookedly, he loses his mind. He also has powerful friends, which is why his mother has been unable to divorce him.

Zhou Qi was stunned when he saw Gu Chi, sat on the sofa and nodded his head as a response, then stopped talking, Gu Chi accidentally caught a glimpse of the document in his hand, and finally understood the reason for his bad complexion.

divorse agreement.

Jiang Yu was thoughtful and did not break his promise.

Gu Chi didn't look much, and went into the room where his mother and himself used to go.The things in his room were basically emptied by Jiang Yan, but his mother still had a few confiscated clothes hanging outside, Gu Chi collected them for her, found a cloth bag to put them away, and planned to take them to the hospital later.

At this point, the old house that had carried Gu Chi and his mother for several years finally lost the atmosphere of him and his mother, just like when they came here, empty and dilapidated.

I don't know whether Jiang Yu was intentional or unintentional, he deliberately sprayed the disinfectant up and down in his room, and he almost choked on the disinfectant when he went in to see if there was anything missing.But the inside was indeed emptied, not even a single pen was left.

It is also considered a courtesy to disinfect before leaving.

Zhou Qi hadn't spoken since Gu Chi came in, until Gu Chi passed by the living room with a bag and was about to go out, he called him in a hoarse voice: "Gu Chi."

Gu Chi paused, turned to look at him, and said in a neutral voice, "What's the matter, Uncle Zhou?"

Zhou Qi stood up holding the document, stared at him blankly for a while, and said, "Do you really want to leave?"

He smiled, and said in a calm tone, "You should let me and my mother go."

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and sighed, with a trace of guilt in his tone: "I am the one who is sorry for you and your mother."

Gu Chi looked at him and said nothing.

Zhou Qi's brows and eyes were tired, and he didn't know what he was doing last night. His voice was hoarse, but his tone seemed very sincere: "Gu Chi, let's go out for a meal when we have time. It's...a farewell. Won't be staying here again."

Gu Chi was not interested in his future whereabouts, so he didn't think much about it. Anyway, he would be a stranger in the future, so there was nothing to think about.

Gu Chi thought about his proposal, and felt that it was not impossible. After all, Zhou Qi was fine except that he was useless and incapable of dragging people into trouble.

And he remembered that Zhou Qi treated him very well when he was still at work.

After getting his salary, he would secretly buy clothes and shoes for him, and even take him to eat big meals. Although every time his mother complained that they spent a lot of money, it could be seen that his mother was very pleased that they could get along so well.

Later, Zhou Qi didn't go to work, and he was not bad to him. Occasionally, he would bring him something when he came home. Sometimes it was money, sometimes it was study materials, and sometimes it would be some odds and ends. Things are not expensive, but enough to reflect his delicacy.

Gu Chi remembered these things in his heart.

Nor was he ungrateful.

"Okay, you can decide the time and place, but don't pick the time when I go to school." Gu Chi said.

Zhou Qi looked very happy, and nodded quickly: "Okay... okay, okay, then I will pick the time when you finish class, and then I will ask you out depending on the day."

"Ah."

After Gu Chi came out, he took a taxi directly to the hospital.

His mother had been lethargic recently, and fell asleep again when he passed by. Gu Chi didn't disturb her, and sat on the side to accompany her after putting away his things.

"Auntie, you can go back, and I will do the rest." Gu Chi looked at the nurse aunt who was leaning on the sofa on the other side and reading medical magazines with her eyes open, and smiled.

The nurse was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said: "I get a lot of salary, and I promised the boss to guard it. If I'm found out, I won't be able to continue working. Young man, I think you are very filial, but you can go back first. I'm fine."

Auntie is swearing, her eyes are kind, and she has a kind of easy-going feeling.

Gu Chi smiled, and didn't say much, if he really let the aunt go back, Jiang Yu would definitely not let her go.

"...I have a bad temper. I don't want to hurt you, but that doesn't include the people around you."

Jiang Yu's words are still in his ears.

Jiang Yu harmed him, he can't harm others because of selfishness.
