self-deprecating

The students in the class are studying by themselves in the morning.

Gu Ze's cell phone vibrated in his desk pocket for a long time, Gu Ze ignored it, and didn't realize it was Gu Lan calling until after class.

Gu Lan knew that it was class time, so she would not call for no reason, or make several calls one after another.

Gu Ze's right eyelid twitched, and he raised his hand to hold it down.

It is said that this is not a good sign.

Gu Ze took the phone and turned to the corner at the end of the corridor, and made a call.

The phone connected after two rings, and a middle-aged woman with a strong local accent came through.

"Are you Gu Lan's son? Your mother fainted at work today and is now in the central hospital. Come here quickly."

Gu Ze's first reaction was: This is a liar!Probably some liar picked up Gu Lan's mobile phone and called to lie to him.

"Come here quickly! Now she is in the emergency room!"

Gu Ze was stunned for two seconds, before he had time to speak, he rushed downstairs.

"Ah! Brother Ze—" Yao Jie's voice came from behind, Gu Ze didn't have time to say hello, and jumped down the stairs directly.

Yao Jie looked puzzled at Gu Ze's figure disappearing at the corner of the stairs, what happened?In such a hurry?

Because Gu Ze didn't have a leave note, the doorman stopped him and refused to let him go out.Gu Ze couldn't explain a few sentences, so he simply turned over from the wall next to him.

The guard followed behind him cursingly, still shouting, "There is surveillance here, be careful I will find your head teacher!!"

Gu Ze ignored the news behind him, stopped a taxi and rushed to the Central Hospital.

Not a liar, it's real.

Scammers will not tell me the address with a single mouth, they will only ask me to send money.

Not a liar, really not a liar.

The right eyelid twitched again without warning, and Gu Ze looked out the window anxiously.

After getting off the taxi, Gu Ze rushed to the hospital.

Emergency room, emergency room...

In the emergency room.

Gu Ze stood in the lobby of the hospital, glanced around, and then rushed to the emergency department.

No.

Without Gu Lan.

Gu Ze stopped the nurse who came out of the rescue room, "Hello, please ask if there is a person named 'Gu Lan' here."

The nurse thought for a while, "The one brought by the ambulance just now has been transferred to the operating room on the fifth floor."

Gu Ze threw down a "thank you" and ran towards the elevator.

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, Gu Ze looked at it, and ran directly to the next stairs.

There were two middle-aged women standing at the door of the operating room. As soon as they saw Gu Ze, they yelled at him, "Is this Gu Lan's son?"

Gu Ze rushed to the operating room, "It's me, my mother..."

"Just transferred to the operating room." One of them said, "When I went to work at noon today, she suddenly fell down next to me. We hurriedly called 120 to send her here."

"Thank you." Gu Ze thanked quickly.

"No, no, we have a good relationship. We should take care of each other." Another woman said, "My surname is Zhang, and her surname is Chen. Just call me Aunt Zhang."

Gu Ze nodded quickly, "Thank you Aunt Zhang, thank you Aunt Chen."

"This is her mobile phone, take it." Aunt Chen handed him the mobile phone in her hand.

Gu Ze took the phone, it was still the least intelligent smartphone, the phone case was the most common transparent case that came with it, it was already yellow and old.

"Now I can only wait here, you can sit there and wait." Aunt Chen pointed to a bench next to her.

Gu Ze couldn't do anything except wait. Now that he was forced to stop his running, he felt that his legs were too weak to stand up.

Leaning against the wall, the cold wall calmed him down a bit.

It's okay, it's okay, nothing serious will happen to Gu Lan.

He comforted himself.

He can already take on these responsibilities, and he is Gu Lan's reliance.

He looked at Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang who were waiting next to him, and stepped forward, "Thank you for today, I wasted your time, I just wait here, you can do your work first."

Aunt Chen waved her hand, "It's okay, we should. The leader is on vacation in the afternoon, so we don't have to go. It's nothing important. Gu Lan is just a family member of yours. We can help you here."

Gu Ze looked at the two and bowed solemnly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ze, "Why aren't you wearing a coat? It's so cold outside today, I've already put on a coat."

It was only then that Gu Ze realized that the coat he had put in the classroom hadn't been worn out at all.He was sweating all over from running, and when the wind blew, his hairs stood on end in the cold.

But at this moment, he was really not in the mood to leave, and twitched the corners of his mouth as if to show a smile.

"It's okay, I'm not cold."

At this time, the doctor just opened the door and came out of the operating room.

"Which of you is the family member of the patient?"

"Me." Gu Ze rushed to the doctor.

"Acute myocardial infarction." The doctor explained, "The current situation is not very good, and a heart stent operation may be needed."

"If you need surgery, do it." Gu Ze's voice sounded calm.

"Then go sign it," the doctor gestured to the nurse next to him.

"Come with me."

Gu Ze followed behind and signed with a dull expression.

"Are there any other family members?" The nurse looked at him.

"No." Gu Ze responded, and handed the signed informed notice to the nurse.

The nurse took the notice, "Then please wait outside."

Be quiet, wait, the red light is on during the operation.

Gu Ze stood at the door of the operating room, looking at the red light in front of him.

Aunt Chen handed Gu Ze a portion of food.

"Eat something, you have to wait here for a long time."

Gu Ze looked at it, and took it with his hand, "Thank you, Aunt Chen, what time is it?"

"It's past six o'clock." Aunt Chen looked at her watch.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen. If you have something to do, go first, so as not to waste your time."

"Don't be so polite with me, I'll wait here, and I won't worry if I don't come out." Aunt Chen smiled.

Gu Ze nodded and said nothing.

The waiting process is filled with fear and hope.The two intertwined and pulled, as if to pull him in half, one half fell into hell, and the other half ascended to heaven.

He dare not think, also dare not if.

The corridor was cold and empty, and time seemed to stand still.

Gu Ze didn't know how long he had been looking at the red light, but suddenly the red light went off.

The door of the operating room opened.

The doctor comes out.

Gu Ze wanted to step forward, but his stiff legs couldn't move.

After a pause of two seconds, Gu Ze walked up to the doctor.

"Out of danger and the operation was a success. Now transfer to the ward."

"Thank you doctor." Gu Ze said something, only to realize that his voice was unreasonably hoarse.

"It's okay." The doctor waved his hand and left.

The nurse pushed Gu Lan out of the operating room.

Gu Lan was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale.Very quiet, as if asleep.

Gu Ze followed by the bed, watching Gu Lan being pushed into the ward, his legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground.

Luckily, after supporting the wall with his hand, Gu Ze barely stopped.

Look at the time.

Gu Ze stood up straight, and said to Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang, "Please take care of me here, I'll go back and pack my things, and I'll be right back."

"Okay, you go."

"Call me if you need anything." Gu Ze hurried home after leaving his phone number.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Ze realized that he was still holding the food that Aunt Chen gave him in the afternoon.

Probably something like a steamed bun, it has become cold, and the steam on the plastic belt has condensed.

Gu Ze was not in the mood to eat, so he could only continue to hold it in his hand, and got in a taxi to go home.

He took out his phone, missed the call, and the WeChat message occupied the entire screen.

Gu Ze first called Lao Jiang.

"Old Jiang."

"Gu Ze, where are you now? Why did you leave school suddenly? What happened?" Lao Jiang's tone was anxious and angry.

"My mother is in the hospital now, please help me take a few days off, Lao Jiang."

"It's okay to ask for leave. Is there anything else I need the teacher to help you with? You are now in the third year of high school. If you have any questions, you must tell the teacher." Lao Jiang sighed softly on the phone.

Gu Ze thought for a while, and only said, "Okay."

"You must tell the teacher if you have any questions." Lao Jiang reminded him again.

"Well, please excuse me."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ze replied one by one.

Yao Jie's WeChat messages kept flashing.

Gu Ze: I'm going to ask for leave for a while.

Outstanding Talent: Shit!Brother Ze, you finally replied to my message...

Outstanding Talent: [Big Cry] [Big Cry]

Outstanding Talent: What's going on?

Gu Ze: It's okay, you don't have to worry.

Outstanding talent: Brother Ze!Even you want to hide it from me? !Are we still good friends? !

Outstanding Talent: What the hell happened?Is it Aunt Gu?

Probably because of class time, Yao Jie couldn't make calls, but the speed of sending messages was getting faster and faster.

Gu Ze paused before replying: My mother is in the hospital now.

Outstanding talent: what disease?Why are you in the hospital all of a sudden?how is it now?

Gu Ze: It's out of danger now, it's fine.Help me to tell others, I will not reply to the message alone.

Outstanding Talent: Well, I see.

Gu Ze: Also, don't tell Han Zizhou that he is going to the final soon.

Outstanding Talent: OK.

The message from Han Zizhou was sent during lunch in the afternoon.

Han Zizhou: Have you eaten yet?

Gu Ze moved his fingers that had warmed up in the car, and slowly replied: I have eaten, I was thinking about something before, and I didn't look at my phone.

I pointed my finger on the sending button, but after thinking about it, I didn't send it.

This will be the self-study time, how can I reply to the message.

The wind at the end of November was too cold, making Gu Ze a little stiff and numb.

Hurriedly upstairs, Gu Ze packed some necessities, pulled out a coat from the cabinet, put it on and left.

Worried that Gu Lan was alone in the hospital, Gu Ze walked quickly.When she arrived at the ward, Gu Lan hadn't woken up yet.

Gu Ze checked the time, it was getting late, he asked Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang to go home to rest, and Gu Ze stayed by the hospital bed alone.

Before leaving, Aunt Chen and Aunt Zhang said enthusiastically, "Call us anytime if you have any questions."

Gu Ze can only say a pale and precious "thank you", but all the words are too pale and helpless.

The author has something to say: Thank you everyone.
