Goldberg Variations

Nurse: "Can I get out of bed to pee?"

Pei Wen: "I can."

Yu Shuangshuang: "Even if it's not possible, we can help!"

The attending physician looked at Yu Shuangshuang and smiled: "Are you his girlfriend?"

Yu Shuangshuang's eyes widened immediately, and she quickly waved her hands: "No, I'm his sister!"

"Okay," the nurse said to Pei Wen, "then I'll pull it out for you."

Then come to lift the quilt.

"Wait a minute." Pei Wen pressed the corner of the quilt, and looked at the two people beside the bed and the door in embarrassment.

Yu Shuangshuang blinked and turned her head with a smile: "Don't be shy, Wen Wen, sister just doesn't look at it."

Gu Kai also turned his head funny.

The nurse joked: "Why is the man turning his head, he is still shy?"

Gu Kaixin said: These days, the relationship between men and men is not safe anymore.

When a person is in a coma, he cannot control his bladder and bowels, so he will become incontinent.A urinary catheter can make cleaning somewhat easier.

It didn't take much trouble to pull out the catheter, and the nurse finished it quickly, and then infused the fluid to Pei Wen.

Gu Kai asked: "Does he need infusion every day?"

"Yes," said the nurse, "you have to lose every day until you leave the hospital."

Thinking about it, Gu Kai felt a little pitiful, and looked at Pei Wen with a bit of pity.

As soon as the doctor and nurse left, Yu Shuangshuang asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

Pei Wen glanced at her awkwardly: "Not now, I want to go to the bathroom now."

"Oh... go to the toilet." Yu Shuangshuang blinked, then turned to look at Gu Kai.

Gu Kai approached quickly: "I'll help you."

Pei Wen didn't speak, and lifted the quilt to get up, but found that his body was so weak that he couldn't control it at all.

"Don't be brave." Gu Kai said.

Pei Wen pursed his lips, letting Gu Kai wrap his arms around his waist, and firmly supported him up.Due to the lack of strength in his feet, most of Pei Wen's weight was on Gu Kai's body. Fortunately, Gu Kai didn't show any signs of exertion.

"Take your time." Gu Kai held the bottle in one hand and helped him walk carefully to the bathroom with the other.

The single ward where Pei Wen lives has a bathroom and toilet, so he can complete tasks such as bathing without going out.

When he reached the bathroom door, Gu Kai turned his head and saw Yu Shuangshuang showing an ambiguous smile to himself.

Gu Kai was speechless, he closed the door with his foot, thinking that he really wasn't that obscene.

However, when Pei Wen took off his pants, Gu Kai still couldn't control his gaze.

Seeing Pei Wen's embarrassed face, Gu Kai thoughtfully said: "It's okay, I won't look at you."

After saying this, Pei Wen became even more embarrassed: "No... they're all men, it's nothing."

Gu Kai said sincerely: "It's still different."

Pei Wen: "What's the difference?"

Gu Kai looked at him fixedly: "I'm gay."

Pei Wen: "..."

The shock on Pei Wen's face made Gu Kai feel a little cute, and he couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, are you so surprised, or are you disgusted? But, to avoid you thinking that I take advantage of you, I won't look at you."

As he said that, he turned his face away and looked at the wall.

Pei Wen didn't speak, just lowered his head and took off his pants to pee.

He panicked.

Gu Kai couldn't see, so his hearing became more acute. First he heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing, and then the sound of splashing water.

Gu Kai didn't turn his face until he heard Pei Wen put on his trousers, only to see Pei Wen drooping his eyelashes, as if emphatically saying:

"No, I won't be disgusted."

"And I don't think you're going to take advantage of me."

Gu Kai was curious: "Why?"

Straight men generally have a strong sense of vigilance towards gays, as if they are afraid that gays will like them and be interested in them.

Pei Wen smiled at him: "I think you are a very gentleman."

"..." Gu Kai was silent for two seconds, defeated.

For a moment, he didn't know whether Pei Wen said that on purpose.

Although he didn't intend to do anything that crossed the line, but Pei Wen said so, even if he had such an idea, it was impossible to do it.

"...Thank you for your trust." Gu Kai couldn't say a word, pointing to the toothbrush, toothpaste and other supplies on the sink, "The toiletries I bought for you this morning are all clean."

"Thank you." Pei Wen picked up the toothpaste and toothbrush. When he squeezed the toothpaste, he felt that Gu Kai was looking at him. When he turned around and saw the helplessness on Gu Kai's face, he realized what he said.

"I'm used to it." Pei Wen smiled.

"It seems your parents raised you well."

Hearing the words "Parents", Pei Wen paused for a moment while squeezing the toothpaste, and then said nonchalantly, "Maybe."

Gu Kai did not let go of this detail.

Recalling what Yu Shuangshuang said, it seemed that something very unpleasant happened between Pei Wenwen and his parents, and now there is no contact.

I can't help but feel annoyed about which pot I don't open and which pot to lift.

Pei Wen didn't take it seriously, after squeezing the toothpaste, he looked up at Gu Kai in the mirror, and asked unexpectedly, "Do you tell everyone about your orientation?"

"How come?" Gu Kai smiled, "It's just that everyone around me knows, parents, colleagues, and friends have all said it."

"I don't want to go to the street with a loudspeaker and call me gay when I see people, right?" He joked.

Thinking of that scene, Pei Wen was amused, and asked, "Does your family also support it?"

"It was difficult to accept at first, but I can't change it, they can only accept it." Gu Kai said in a relaxed tone.

His parents were indeed much more open-minded than ordinary parents, and their initial reaction was not very violent, but they gradually accepted it.

"Well, that's fine."

Pei Wen didn't know what to think of, the smile on his face faded, he lowered his head and brushed his teeth, and stopped talking.

After washing up, Pei Wen felt much refreshed when he walked out of the bathroom with Gu Kai's support.

Yu Shuangshuang on the sofa looked up and smiled in surprise, "Hey, did you change your appearance?"

"Don't use idioms indiscriminately." Gu Kai helped Pei Wen to the side of the bed, bent down to let him sit down with his strength, and at the same time re-hanged the bottle.

Yu Shuangshuang stuck out her tongue, put down her phone and leaned over, sitting on the edge of the bed: "Apart from going to the toilet, what instructions do you have, Master?"

Gu Kai supported Pei Wen to lie down, pulled the quilt for him, and tucked in the corners of the quilt.

Gu Kai was very unskilled in these details of taking care of people at first, but practice makes perfect in just a few days.

Pei Wen stood for too long just now, and his legs felt weak, so he pointed to his own legs: "Then give me a squeeze."

Yu Shuangshuang let out a "hiss" and rubbed her hands together: "Well, I don't know how to do it."

Gu Kai said: "I'll come."

Yu Shuangshuang turned to look at him: "You still know this?"

"Relax your muscles, the fitness trainer will teach you." Gu Kai said, lifting the corner of the quilt to hold Pei Wen's calf.

As soon as his palm touched Pei Wen's calf, Pei Wen shrank suddenly.

Gu Kai was puzzled: "What?"

Pei Wen lowered his head and didn't look at him, snatched the quilt from Gu Kai's hand, covered his legs tightly, and said softly, "I'm just kidding, don't pinch it."

Yu Shuangshuang's eyes turned between the two of them, the corners of her lips suppressed a smile, mocking Pei Wen and said, "Did the car overturn?"

Pei Wen rolled her eyes.

Pei Wen and Yu Shuangshuang are familiar with each other, so it's normal to make such jokes, even if Yu Shuangshuang really pinches his legs, she doesn't think it's a big deal.

But let Gu Kai come, especially since he just found out that Gu Kai is gay, he felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Kai smiled, and didn't insist anymore, thinking that the straight guy Pei Wen finally knew how to avoid suspicion.

Tucking the corner of the quilt back again, Gu Kai rubbed his sore arm, it took too long to lift the bottle just now.

Seeing him, Pei Wen hurriedly asked, "Are you tired from lifting just now?"

Gu Kai said: "It's okay, I often exercise, and I'm used to lifting weights."

Knowing that this person didn't want him to be overwhelmed, Pei Wen was grateful, smiled at Gu Kai, and said to Yu Shuangshuang: "I'm giving you a chance to show off, I'm hungry."

Gu Kai said: "I'll go buy it for you."

Yu Shuangshuang looked up at Gu Kai, then at Pei Wen, and spread her hands: "If someone is courting you, why don't I go?"

Gu Kai smiled and said: "She is a lady, and the shoes are inconvenient, so let me go."

Pei Wen was very sorry.

Yu Shuangshuang said what she wanted to say for him: "Thank you."

"..." Gu Kai, "I recently fell in love with..."

Yu Shuangshuang covered her ears: "Okay, I didn't hear anything, so go quickly."

Gu Kai made a mocking sound, turned around and walked out the door of the ward.

Watching Gu Kai walk out, Pei Wen asked Yu Shuangshuang: "What did he want to say just now?"

Yu Shuangshuang curled her lips and said, "He said that he recently fell in love with a car, and bought it for him if he wanted to thank him. But he was joking, so you don't need to worry about him."

Pei Wen nodded thoughtfully.

Gu Kai still bought from yesterday's store, and came back soon. When he came back, Pei Wen was chatting with Yu Shuangshuang.

Gu Kai put down the food he bought and handed it to Pei Wen, while he sat aside to handle his work.

His main business is jewelry. He has a shop in Jiangzhou New District and employs two shop assistants.

These days, the clerks are helping him to look after the store, but there are some things that he has to deal with himself.

But as he said to Pei Wen, the jewelry industry is not in a good mood. His jewelry store's business is average, and there is no problem in maintaining normal operations, but the main income comes from stocks and funds.

Seeing that Gu Kai was working, Yu Shuangshuang didn't bother him. When he finished talking and raised his head, Yu Shuangshuang asked, "Do you have work to do? If you're busy, you can go back and have a look, and come back when you're done."

Although Yu Shuangshuang had come back, no one mentioned Gu Kai's departure.

Gu Kai himself was happy to take care of Pei Wen here.

On the other hand, Yu Shuangshuang and Pei Wen considered the differences between men and women. Some things were really inconvenient for Yu Shuangshuang, such as going to the toilet.

Therefore, Gu Kai had to stay and watch.

Besides, Yu Shuangshuang has already seen that this man has other plans, so she is more confident in grabbing the young man.

Gu Kai said: "It's okay, there is no need for me to go back to the store yet, if there is something, I will tell you."

"Okay." Yu Shuangshuang was not polite.

Pei Wen was still worried: "Is it really all right? Will it delay you?"

Yu Shuangshuang said: "It's okay, his store is just for fun, it's not bad if it doesn't lose money."

"..." Gu Kai glanced at her, "There is still profit, although the profit is not much."

"Don't worry, it's really fine." This was said to Pei Wen.

Gu Kai found that Pei Wen seemed to be a little too careful and sensitive, constantly worrying about bothering him and delaying his work, even if he said he was fine, he was still worried.

I don't know if this personality has anything to do with his suicide.

Pei Wen's colleagues came to visit for the first time three days later, there were three of them in total.

The first person to enter the ward was a tall woman with a checkered umbrella in her hand, still dripping water.Black hair and red lips, a small mole on the bridge of the nose.

She was wearing a very crisp and simple white shirt and high-waisted jeans, which made her legs appear full below her chest.

Gu Kai has been making up for the plays that Pei Wen has acted in the past few days. He knows that this person is Hong Qian, and he often plays the leading role with Pei Wen.

It's just that Hong Qian's complexion is not good, as if something unpleasant happened just now.

Behind Hong Qian was a burly man with short hair and wheat-colored skin, named Fan Lei.Fan Lei looks decent, and he often plays decent roles.

The one at the back is an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a button-up shirt made of silk and linen.Gu Kai also recognized this person, his name was Hou Xuesong.

Hou Xuesong is very well-known, not only acting in dramas, but also in several movies and TV dramas, and he is recognized as an old drama player.

However, Gu Kai noticed that when Hou Xuesong entered the room, Pei Wen's face froze when he saw him, and his eyes quickly avoided.

Hou Xuesong didn't seem to feel it, he was the last to enter the room, but the first to walk in front of Pei Wen, bent down to touch Pei Wen's forehead, and said with concern:

"Little Pei, how is your health? How did you end up in the hospital?"

Pei Wen tilted his head indistinctly, avoiding his hand.
