Impossible Stand-in for Rebirth
Chapter 18
He Qingyu pushed open the door of the ward.His mother was in a deep sleep, her face was very peaceful.However, He Qingyu knew that this peace and tranquility was extremely precious, because as soon as he woke up, he had to start the infusion again, and then undergo peritoneal dialysis, and his mother would fall into the painful side effects and efficacy of the treatment again.Constantly throwing up and feeling nauseous, even taking this reaction for granted.
He Qingyu knew that his mother was in great pain. Since the diagnosis of uremia was sent to this hospital, not only her, but even their whole family were in great pain.
He Qingyu got short and sat down on the stool in front of his mother's bed.I didn't know what to do for a while, so I simply sorted out the things on the cabinet in front of his mother's bed, and then sat back on the chair and stared at his mother, thinking about things.
His life these days has been like this.The company and the hospital run at both ends, and sometimes they just lie down in the ward all night when they get busy.The company's business is still the same. Recently, it is estimated that the list has decreased a lot in the off-season.Today is the weekend, so He Qingyu is free.
He and Lu Yizhuo seem to have had a gap between him and Lu Yizhuo since that time in the bar.He always wanted to approach Lu Yizhuo to explain, but he couldn't rely on it at all.
He Qingyu didn't know what to do.I also tried to cater actively, but it seems that I will be underestimated.He remembered that Lu Yizhuo actually threw him a check after finishing his work that night.I feel ashamed all over.
He didn't even dare to think deeply about what Lu Yizhuo meant.I am afraid that if I think about it, I will feel embarrassing and painful.
Mother He woke up at this moment, screaming that her mouth was thirsty.He Qingyu immediately poured her a glass of water, but He's mother started coughing again after drinking it. He Qingyu patted her slowly on the back a few times.Until his mother got better again, turned over and continued to sleep.
He Qingyu sat for a while, and received a call from his father halfway. He walked out of the ward to answer it, afraid of disturbing his mother's rest.
He's father had nothing else to do when he called, he just said that he had transferred this month's salary to He Qingyu's account.Let's see how we can make up for this month's hospitalization expenses.
He Qingyu froze for a moment, and said, "Dad, you have worked hard."The two chatted for a few more minutes about the latest fucking situation.Father He only said that he was busy again, and the two hung up the phone hastily.
After staying in the ward like this for nearly a day, He Qingyu was thinking about him and Lu Yizhuo when his mother was sleeping.When it was almost dusk, he took out his mobile phone and called Lu Yizhuo again.There was no reply.
He Qingyu sent another text message, which took a long time to edit before sending it out. "Lu Yizhuo. Let's have a meal and talk, shall we?"
After waiting for an hour, there was still no reply from the phone.He Qingyu clenched the phone tightly in the palm of his hand, making up his mind to find him anyway.He should still be working in the company at this time.
After explaining a few words to the nurse on duty, he left the hospital.Take the bus to Yi Company run by Lu Yizhuo.
He watched most of the small windows above light up from below, and couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.She lowered her head and went in without any hesitation, and asked where Lu Yizhuo's office was at the front desk, but the woman at the front desk kept asking him if he had an appointment.
He Qingyu was afraid that if he said no, he might be kicked out.Hastily said yes, and it was about this time.The receptionist looked at him suspiciously, picked up the handset of the landline and made a call.After talking for a while, he handed the microphone to He Qingyu.
He Qingyu suddenly became a little nervous, and didn't know what to say.The female voice over there was a bit shrill, and she asked him directly who he was at the beginning, saying that President Lu was in a meeting and there was no appointment at all.
He Qingyu stammered back a few words before realizing that this was Lu Yizhuo's secretary.The female voice over there gradually became a little impatient, and finally said to He Qingyu: "I have heard that our President Lu was entangled by a dirty man recently. I advise you not to be so ignorant, take Stay away from Mr. Lu's money, and don't pester our general manager anymore. Don't think about anything else."
He Qingyu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured from his head when he heard these words.Cowardly replied: "I'm not...I'm not..."
He wanted to say that he and Lu Yizhuo were in a relationship, and now there was only a little misunderstanding.It's not what she thinks.But there seemed to be a lump in his throat, and he couldn't speak no matter what.It was hard to even move.
Even the front desk lady who had been looking at him in front of her began to look strange.He Qingyu almost threw the microphone back, turned around and walked outside the building.There was a cold wind blowing outside, and He Qingyu was walking with the wind, and his whole body almost staggered as he was about to be carried away.He stabilized his body, but felt that it was difficult to even stand steadily.
He Qingyu endured the urge and desire to squat down and rest, and looked at a taxi that happened to come by in the distance.He reached out to stop him, and returned to the house he rented in the car.
He thought about what the secretary said to him for a long time, but felt that his head was getting more and more confused.After a while, I couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day but wanted to find Lu Yizhuo again, he really felt uncomfortable and just wanted to ask Lu Yizhuo what he was thinking.
There was still no one in the house where the two of them lived together, He Qingyu waited for a while.I didn't leave until noon and went to the hospital where mother He was.
After taking care of his mother for a while, in the evening, he came to the apartment again and knocked on the door.I waited until it was almost ten o'clock, but no one answered inside, and no one came in from outside.He even felt a little desperate, and didn't leave until after midnight.
I still came and waited the next day, but I could only come at night because of work.He Qingyu had no idea that this house was just an occasional residence of Lu Yizhuo.Thinking of coming this way every day, I can always wait.
One night after more than a week, Lu Yizhuo really made He Qingyu wait.
As soon as Lu Yizhuo got out of the elevator, he was a little surprised to see the person standing in front of his house.He was in a good mood recently, so he worked overtime every day, and often went home to stay for a few nights these days, so he didn't go back to this apartment.Today I had a fantasy to come back and stay for one night, but I didn't expect to see He Qingyu as soon as I got out of the elevator.
"Lu Yizhuo..." He Qingyu originally had a bent back and a half-bowed body, but when he saw Lu Yizhuo's upper body, he straightened up.
"You're back." He stood there and looked at Lu Yizhuo. Lu Yizhuo was wearing a brown trench coat and looked at him with his hands in his pockets.
"Well. Why did you come?" Lu Yizhuo's attitude was casual, just like when they were together before.He Qingyu felt a little relieved and said, "We haven't been in touch for so long. I want to meet you."
"Ha, so you still remember me." Lu Yizhuo's tone was a little weird.He Qingyu looked up at his profile, and asked in a daze, "What...what do you mean?"
Lu Yizhuo came over, took out the key and opened the door.He thought in his heart that He Qingyu's trip was a good one, and he happened to talk to him about the "breakup".
In fact, it is a bit hypocritical to say "break up".It never started between them.Anyway, there is no such thing in Lu Yizhuo's place.The only thing he had in his heart was Lin Zhen. At that time, he wanted to get He Qingyu, but it was purely because he was really like Lin Zhen.
Now that Lin Zhen is about to come back to him, what else does he want He Qingyu to do.What's more, He Qingyu is still an MB.
He seemed to be smiling, and replied: "It's not interesting. Come in."
Two people entered the house.He Qingyu obviously became a little cramped, almost the same as when the two first met.
"I said He Qingyu, do you always do this to everyone?" Lu Yizhuo looked at him standing timidly by the door and said, "Change your shoes first."
He Qingyu lowered his head and hurriedly replied: "No...it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time." Putting on the slippers, he followed Lu Yizhuo to the living room.
The two sat opposite each other, Lu Yizhuo lit a cigarette and smoked it.He Qingyu looked at him, and after organizing his words in his mind, he began to say: "I have something to ask you."
"Let's talk." Lu Yizhuo lay back on his back for a while, "I'm listening."
"That... I went to your company to find you a few days ago. I don't quite understand what your company secretary said."
"Huh? Xiao Song? She sometimes rushes when she speaks, so don't worry about it." Lu Yizhuo smiled at him.He Qingyu originally wanted to ask what the phrase "he pestered Lu Yizhuo" meant, but he didn't know how to continue after hearing him say that.
I had to say again: "There is also what happened before. Lu Yizhuo...I don't do that kind of work..."
Just as he was about to speak, he found that Lu Yizhuo was staring straight at him, and He Qingyu looked down again, and found that there was a little raised outline in the crotch of his trousers.His face turned red instantly.Subconsciously, she was about to step back, but was caught by Lu Yizhuo's hand.was brought to him.
"It just so happens that I have something to tell you..." Lu Yizhuo said into He Qingyu's ear, "But now... there are more important things."
......
Under such circumstances, He Qingyu suddenly remembered what he hadn't finished speaking just now.I struggled to continue: "Also... I have only had you as a man so far. I am not...not clean."
Lu Yizhuo hugged him with his legs spread apart. He wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he still catered to him: "Yes. You only have me as a man, so it's so tight inside."
He Qingyu turned his head to the other side in shame after hearing this.I couldn't say anything about the following words, so I just followed Lu Yizhuo's rhythm.
Two people only did one round.He Qingyu lay under Lu Yizhuo's body, too tired to move more.At this time, Lu Yizhuo rolled over, sat up on the other side, and said, "I can talk about what I wanted to talk about just now."
"He Qingyu, let's not see each other again." Lu Yizhuo Guang walked off the sofa naked, this time taking out a credit card from the inner pocket of his clothes.He said lightly: "I didn't take much money with me when I came back this trip. You can use this credit card. There should be more than 5 yuan in it."
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Lu Yizhuo turned around only to see that He Qingyu had sat up and was looking directly at him.
"What...what do you mean?" He Qingyu asked.Obviously some didn't respond.
"It means separation. Don't communicate with each other, do you understand?"
"Why...? We were together like this just now... I don't understand." He Qingyu asked him aloud.He didn't understand what Lu Yizhuo meant at all, didn't he hug him just now, why did he suddenly say that he wanted to break up.
"I said you can't see it at all." Lu Yizhuo glanced at He Qingyu's body, there were a few red marks on his fair skin, and he knew it was left by him before. "I haven't contacted you for so long, isn't that what I meant?"
"Because of what?" He Qingyu looked at him, "Why?"
Lu Yizhuo was really too lazy to explain so much, and said in a blink of an eye: "I don't have feelings for you anymore. Don't ask me why I didn't have feelings for you. I just wanted to have sex with you. You must have felt good about yourself. So we two People owe nothing to each other.”
He Qingyu didn't know where to look for a long time, and Lu Yizhuo was almost fully dressed.He just said: "Okay..."
Lu Yizhuo snorted, thinking it's your turn to say yes.Turning around, I remembered that during the time He Qingyu followed him, he was actually quite comfortable.He Qingyu is a caring and considerate person.
Lu Yizhuo thought about it and said more compassionately: "Find someone to live well in the future, and see you if there is a destiny."
He Qingyu got off the sofa with difficulty, a little white liquid remained on his thigh.He didn't care, took the clothes on the ground and put them on.
Lu Yizhuo handed the credit card in front of his eyes: "Hold it. You didn't take the check when I gave you the last time."
"I don't want...I don't want..." He Qingyu said it twice, his hands trembling as he put on the last piece of clothing.
Lu Yizhuo stuffed the credit card into his hand: "I still say the same thing, use it for your mother's medical treatment."
He Qingyu lowered his head, and it took him a long while before he clenched the thing in his hand. "...good."
His gait was very unsteady, and he almost reached the door by leaning on the wall.Without saying a last word to Lu Yizhuo, he opened the door and went out.
Lu Yizhuo waited for him to leave for a while before he felt something was wrong. Why didn't He Qingyu have any intention of keeping him?
He had to admit that he had a little too much pride at work.But after breaking up, he thought that He Qingyu would at least say a few words to persuade him to stay.
But that's okay too.He didn't treat He Qingyu badly in this matter, even if this matter is over.Now it's time to wait for Lin Zhen to return home.Thinking of this, Lu Yizhuo raised the corner of his mouth.
The author has something to say: I really dare not post more. .In fact, only a few words. .
If you want to see it, you can check it yourself.
After one o'clock in the morning, I swiped the data on the mobile phone and saw that there were more favorites, so you have one.Although I don’t know who you are QAQ I wish you a happy reading T_T
I hope I can have good luck tomorrow, and I can go to the homepage of the new frequency division. .
