"How is it? Did I sew beautifully?" Under the shadowless lamp, Ning Ze's suturing movements were crisp and neat, making the last knot on the treated wound. Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows.

Gu Qinghan raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, then continued his finishing work.

This operation finally ended safely, and Ning Ze felt a little relieved watching the injured patient being pushed out.

"Let's go." He turned his head and called Gu Qinghan.

The latter has been sitting on the lifting stool since just now, and now he lowered his head slightly. Ning Ze couldn't see his face clearly, so he leaned over, "Qinghan?"

Gu Qinghan didn't take off his mask, but Ning Ze only saw that his eyes were foggy and lacked expression, and his breathing was a little heavy.

"......Walk."

At this moment, Ning Ze realized that he was not feeling well, so he reached out to help him.Gu Qinghan just put his arms around him, and stood up with his strength, but in an instant, his vision was completely dark, and his originally blurred vision was completely darkened.

He could only hear his own hard breathing and heavy and irregular heartbeat, and he had no perception of the outside world.Ning Ze was taken aback, his hands and feet flustered and he could barely hug his limp body.

When he woke up again, he was already in the dormitory, with a drip on the back of his hand that already had many pinholes, and Ning Ze moved a chair to eat instant noodles opposite him.

"I fainted from exhaustion." This is not the first time. When he opened his eyes, Ning Ze put down the bucket, his eyes behind the lens were very serious, "Qing Han, your current physical condition is really not suitable for day and night to reverse the overload. work."

Gu Qinghan is a doctor himself, so he knows exactly what Ning Ze said.Until now, he also felt tired and dizzy, and the slight pain in his stomach eroded his consciousness.

"Yeah, it's time to rest." He bent his lips towards Ning Ze, and this shallow smile was also pale.

Jiang Qi's progress here was not smooth. He took a few of Jiang He's right-hand men and was on the run almost every day.After all, he hadn't been in contact with the company in city A for a long time, and he was ordered in a critical situation, so it was inevitable that he would have some headaches in overcoming the predicament in front of him.

After spending the whole afternoon in the meeting room with the project team, they finally finalized a new practical plan, and everyone was a little tired.Jiang Qi asked someone to order coffee and dinner, and went to the lounge to check his phone.

The chat interface between him and Gu Qinghan stayed on his greeting in the morning, and Gu Qinghan didn't reply him.

Jiang Qi was a little worried, he only hesitated for a few seconds before calling Gu Qinghan's number.

The handset rang a few times and was rejected.

Jiang Qi was restless, and his brows frowned more and more tightly.He called again, and was finally answered when he was about to hang up automatically.

"Qinghan!" He shouted urgently, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Gu Qinghan's voice in the receiver was calm and gentle, "Jiang Qi, didn't you agree, give me some time."

"I'm not..." Jiang Qi clenched his phone tightly, "It's just that I'm worried if you don't reply to my message—" He lowered his voice, "I miss you very much and want to hug you." After saying this, Jiang Qi An indescribable throbbing in my heart.

He has long ceased to be the pure and enthusiastic young man of long ago. The many years of torment in a foreign country have made him more calm and introverted, both in life and state of mind.It is not an easy task to express one's heart so enthusiastically and straightforwardly.

Gu Qinghan was silent for a moment, "I understand, you can handle your own affairs at ease." Before Jiang Qi could speak, he hung up the phone.

He didn't give the response Jiang Qi expected.In fact, Jiang Qi was a little disappointed and confused.

When they first reunited, Gu Qinghan was gentle and soft towards him. If he hadn't regarded Gu Nian and the wedding ring as treasures, he would have even thought that this person still had deep affection for him.But since when did Gu Qinghan seem to be more thoughtful, often depressed and in a trance, and become more and more distant and close to him.Even though he had expressed his intentions, Gu Qinghan was noncommittal.

Jiang Qi looked wearily at the gloomy night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his eyes darkened, and he felt lost in his heart.

Here Gu Qinghan put away his phone, and looked at the person opposite him coldly again.

Lin Chen stretched out his hand to push the coffee that was just served closer to him, but he blocked it vaguely, "I won't drink it, what's the matter with you?"

"Jiang Qi really loves you." Lin Chen sneered, "He never took the initiative to contact me before." He would never say that he misses you.

He looked at Gu Qinghan, who was sitting silently under the soft light, his facial features were cold and beautiful, and his whole body was like ice and snow white jade, no wonder Jiang Qi had been thinking about it for so many years.

"Doctor Gu," Lin Chen restrained his smile, "I came to you today to apologize for scaring the children last time."

"It's my fault that the entanglement between adults involves children. Please forgive me."

Gu Qinghan lowered his eyelashes slightly, but did not speak.

"I'm leaving, and I won't be coming back," Lin Chen stroked the porcelain cup in his hand, "Although I never really got any response from him, Jiang Qi has cut off all my thoughts about him."

"Of course, I'm not a good person. I didn't come here to wish you happiness before running away in desperation."

"I just want you to understand one thing," he said slowly to Gu Qinghan, "Jiang Qi loves you in his heart and cannot let you go, maybe you are the same for him, but you will always give him more pain than happiness."

"A few years ago, you betrayed him and left him devastated in a foreign country. Even if he came back and met you again, what he felt the most was entanglement and boredom. You know it yourself."

Every word of Lin Chen can be turned into tiny sharp ice crystals, piercing into his heart silently.He knew that Lin Chen was telling the truth, Jiang Qi had told him this, and he had thought so himself.

"I don't want to wish you happiness at all. I don't think you can be happy."

Gu Qinghan raised his eyes to look at him, and silently tightened his fingers.

......

"Let's go, goodbye." Lin Chen drank the rest of the coffee, got up and left without looking back.

Gu Qinghan felt cold, this kind of cold spread from the bottom of his heart, making his chest feel oppressed and painful.He hugged the still warm cup with his cold and pale hands, trying to get a little warmth.

Jiang He came to visit Gu Nian as usual, the children were already very familiar with him, and liked the toys and picture books he brought.

"Nian Nian, do you like being with me?" Jiang He asked him with a smile.

The child recovers quickly and is well taken care of. She is as red-faced and smiling as before, "I like it~"

Jiang He's smile was even more gentle.

Gu Qinghan stood outside the half-covered door, looking at these two people through the glass.He looked at Gu Nianxiao, and unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth with him, but he still felt empty in his heart, a little lost and at a loss.

After standing for more than ten minutes, he finally couldn't bear to bend down, and frowned in pain. His stomach had been in pain since Lin Chen appeared, and he deliberately ignored it for a long time. At this moment, it was already an unbearable colic, as if a cold knife had pierced through it. Makes his spine tingle.

He endured for a moment, then stumbled towards the bathroom to vomit.He hadn't eaten normally for a long time, and he couldn't vomit. He could only cough and retch in pain until he convulsed, and his heart beat chaotically.In the end, with a sliver of consciousness, he called Ning Ze to seek an antispasmodic.
