nine year itch

Gu Yuan untied Gu Ze, helped his younger brother limping up the stairs and back to the room.After kneeling for nearly an hour, Gu Ze's calf kept twitching.

Gu Yuan took off his coat and couldn't help hissing in pain. On his originally white and smooth back, the flesh was ripped apart and green and red intertwined.Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

Gu Ze took out the medicine box in the room, smiled flatteringly at Gu Yuan and said, "Brother, you can apply some medicine for me, you can't bear to see your brother's body disfigured."

Gu Yuan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw his hippie smiling face that healed the scar and forgot the pain, but he still took the medicine box.

Seeing him take the medicine box, Gu Ze hurriedly climbed onto the bed.Gu Yuan opened the medicine box impatiently, roughly took a cotton swab dipped in ointment and put the medicine on Gu Ze's back.

"Ah! Brother, can you be gentle? Your brother's back is made of meat." Gu Ze lay on the bed and wailed.

"Hehe, do you still know it hurts? When Dad beat you just now, weren't you a tough man?" Gu Yuan sneered and slowed down the action of applying the medicine.

"Hey, I hope today's beating was not in vain, and Dad's anger can calm down a bit." Gu Ze sighed softly.

After taking the medicine, Gu Yuan left, and Gu Ze just crawled on the bed blankly.At this moment, he really wanted to call Youqing, but his mobile phone was also confiscated.

From the moment Gu Ze saw that text message, he had already completely regretted it. He regretted running to the house behind Youqing's back to get engaged. He regretted everything.

It turns out that people only understand what is most important to them when they lose it.

That year, I lost Youqing and ran away alone.Ten years later, at the age of 28, it seems that he still chose to escape.

He suddenly remembered a line from a movie he and Youqing had watched together: Once there was a sincere relationship in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, and I regretted it until I lost it.

He has lost this sincere feeling once, and he can't lose it a second time.

After making up his mind, Gu Ze just crawled to sleep.

The next morning, the whole family woke up with swollen eyes.None of the four of them slept well that night.

The back was assisted with high-quality medicinal materials, and after another night of repair, the wound had scabbed over.But Gu Ze felt his back was getting more and more painful and itchy, so he kept crawling on the bed and didn't get up.

Yahong was worried about her son, so she gently opened the door and took a peek at Gu Ze.Seeing that the ivory white back was still covered with bruises, she couldn't help but close her eyes and gently closed the door again.

In the dining room, the nanny had already prepared a hot breakfast, but there were only three people eating at the table.The three finished their breakfast in silence, and sat on the sofa to talk about the results of Gu Yuan's heart-to-heart conversation with Gu Ze last night.

"What did that wicked person tell you last night?" Gu Jiang asked seriously.

"Dad, Aunt Hong, I advise you to be mentally prepared. After you gave birth to Gu Ze, you should know his temper better than me as an older brother. Even ten cows can't pull back what Gu Ze believes in. " Gu Ze's tone was very calm, and Gu Jiang's face was solemn and his mood was complicated.

How could he, as an old man, not understand his son's temper? Gu Ze had an unstoppable tendon in his bones since he was a child.This is also the reason why he can sit on such a net worth at a young age.Never admit defeat in the things you are looking for, even if you put it all together.

"Gu Ze doesn't want to marry Shu Wen. He won't get married now, and he won't get married in the future. He loves that boy named You Qing, and he plans to spend his whole life with him." Gu Yuan said lightly.

Hearing this, Yahong covered her face and cried.Gu Jiang on the side kept touching his forehead and lamenting.

"If you want to save some trouble, then you can fulfill Gu Ze and that boy. If you insist on refusing, then you have to be prepared for a protracted war." Gu Yuan stated the facts calmly and remained neutral.

Yahong sobbed, "Old Gu, what should I do?"

Gu Jiang said in a deep voice: "Where it is so cheap, that bastard will be fulfilled. We are fighting a protracted war, there is nothing we can't fight."

Yahong heard the words and said worriedly: "Old Gu, you can't beat him anymore. If you beat him, you can beat him together."

Gu Jiang looked at his wife helplessly and said: "That's not what I mean, anyway, as long as he doesn't leave the house. I still don't believe that he can not be subdued if he is locked up at home for a year or so."

It happened that the last sentence was heard by Gu Ze who came out to go to the toilet. He froze for a moment, and then returned to the room.

From then on, Gu Ze stayed at home in a daze during the day and slept normally at night. His work and rest were regular, but he started to drink only water, but he didn't eat a mouthful of rice.

Apart from his own life, Gu Ze couldn't think of any good way to shake his equally stubborn father.

Yahong looked distressed, but Gu Jiang kept preventing her from taking care of this matter.He wanted to see what Gu Ze could do for that boy.

The two armies are at a stalemate, and whoever retreats first will lose everything.Gu Jiang understands this truth, and Gu Ze also understands this truth.It's just that Wang Yahong suffers, and is sandwiched between the two father and son, washing her face with tears every day.

Finally on the fifth day, Wang Yahong, who got up early to peek at her son, found Gu Ze lying unconscious in the room.

"Son, wake up, wake up!" Wang Yahong yelled while crying, "Come here, come here! Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan! Call your father's health care doctor!"

Gu Yuan dialed Dr. Wei's phone number and explained Gu Ze's physical condition to him in detail.After a while, Doctor Wei rushed over with his assistant.

Dr. Wei first hung Gu Ze with water, administered glucose and nutrient solution, and then listened to his heartbeat with a device, feeling for his pulse.

Yahong asked Dr. Wei nervously, "How is my son?"

"There is no danger to his life at the moment, but he has not eaten these days and his body is very weak and needs to be recuperated. I will give him an injection for a few days first, and let him eat after a few days, and try to eat liquid food." Dr. Wei replied.

Gu Yuan on the side asked: "What if he still doesn't eat?"

Dr. Wei frowned upon hearing this, "If you don't eat, your life may be in danger. People are iron and rice are steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. How can you survive if you don't eat?"

Hearing this, Yahong didn't cry, but just clenched her fists and said to the doctor, "I see, thank you, Doctor Wei."

After Dr. Wei left, the assistant stayed there, waiting to give Gu Ze another two bottles of nutrient solution.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Jiang came back from the meeting. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yahong sitting quietly on the sofa.

"Is that kid Gu Ze still not eating today?" Gu Jiang sat down and asked.

Yahong looked at Gu Jiang and said calmly, "This morning, Gu Ze passed out in the room."

Hearing this, Gu Jiang's face turned pale and he froze all over.

Yahong then said, "I've seen Dr. Wei, and it's all right now."

Gu Jiang let out a long breath, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"But Doctor Wei also said that if he continues his hunger strike, he will die." Yahong said this coldly.

"Gu Jiang, I, Wang Yahong, have been perseverant and strong all my life, and never bowed to others. But today, I beg you, let my son go, and me too." Wang Yahong's voice was already a little choked up at this time up.

Gu Jiang sat on the sofa wearily, looking blankly at the calendar on the coffee table.

He often forgets his real age and never feels old.But at this moment, he can clearly remember that he will be sixty soon in one year.

"Gu Jiang, I, Wang Yahong, followed you at the age of 24 and gave birth to Gu Ze at the age of 25. For you and for Gu Ze, I gave up my favorite embroidery and my cheongsams. I carefully cultivated him, Not to leave only one skeleton at the end."

"Stop being obsessed with winning or losing. Don't engage in these pointless contests anymore. Gu Ze is not your opponent, he is your own son." Wang Yahong's tone was calm, but her face was already full of tears.

Gu Jiang leaned weakly on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling.

After a while, Gu Jiang said hoarsely: "Let him go, I won't care about him anymore."

When it was almost night, Gu Ze woke up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the sobbing figure of his mother next to him.

"Mom, don't cry." Gu Ze said weakly.

"Son, you're awake, son." Yahong threw herself into his son's arms, sobbing loudly.

Gu Ze raised an arm vigorously and put it on his mother's body, "Mom, don't cry, if you cry, you will have more wrinkles, and you have to apply a lot of masks to remedy it."

When Yahong heard this, she quickly stopped crying. She wiped her face with a handkerchief, tidied her hair and appearance, and said seriously to Gu Ze: "Your father gave in, he said it's up to you."

Gu Ze happily asked: "Really?"

Yahong nodded.

Gu Ze turned around and asked, "What about you, Mom?"

Looking at her son's pale face, Yahong said with a bitter smile, "Son, I have forgiven you a long time ago. No matter who you like, as long as you can live happily."

Seeing his mother's wry smile, Gu Ze felt extremely sad, he couldn't even bear to let his mother down.

He said hoarsely, "Mom, if you're not happy, I won't go back to him."

Yahong shook her head, and said softly: "You go to him, mom can see that you love him. You have been living too smoothly, and you can come and go when others call you, and in the end you become a person who doesn't care. The child of my heart. Now, since you have met someone you love, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you are happy with him, it will be fine."

Hearing his mother's words, Gu Ze was moved and sad at the same time. He said a little wronged: "But, he doesn't want me anymore. He told me before that I would leave me."

Yahong comforted and encouraged: "Then you chase him back, I don't believe my son is so good, he is willing to leave you like this."

Hearing this, Gu Ze giggled at his mother like a coquettish child, hugged Yahong tightly and said, "Mom, you are so kind to me."

The mother and son cuddled together for a while, Yahong left the room and brought Gu Ze tonic soup, "Right now, take care of your health first, and then go back to Xi'an."

"Okay, mom, I must eat well." Gu Ze picked up the bowl of soup and drank it down.

Sure enough, the power of love is great. In less than three days, Gu Ze's face turned red and he got out of bed alive and kicking.

For the past three days, Gu Ze lived a life like that of a confinement woman. He ate and slept, ate and slept, and ate delicious delicacies.

Yahong saw that Gu Ze's complexion was much more rosy, so she allowed him to go back to Xi'an.Gu Jiang didn't say a word about it, he just got into the study as soon as he got home, and refused to meet Gu Ze face to face, saying that he was annoying when he saw him.Gu Yuan was also worried about further conflicts at home, so he didn't dare to go back to Shanghai immediately, and continued to live at home.

Before leaving, Gu Yuan couldn't help but come to his brother's bedroom and taunted him: "Gu Ze, you are really promising. You can think of a hunger strike. I thought you would stab yourself with a knife or jump off the stairs .”

Gu Ze packed his luggage and said without raising his head: "I'm not willing to use a knife on myself. I already have a disfigurement on my back, and if I stab myself twice, wouldn't Youqing want me even more?"

"The highest place in our house is the third floor. At this height, you can jump down without dying and become disabled. Will Youqing want a semi-crippled one? A man can bend and stretch. What a hunger strike. It can lose weight and save food."

Gu Yuan felt disgusted and numb when he sipped sweet and greasy Youqing, so he hurriedly changed the subject to let him say a few words less.
