The hospital is not far from where I live, and it takes about 20 minutes by bike.

It is a private hospital, and the building is obviously old. There are tall ivy on the back wall, but it does not look gloomy.

Gu Ming followed Zhou Yu, parked his bicycle outside the southeast gate, and walked into the hospital building.

There are not many people in the otolaryngology department, Zhou Yu didn't say much all the way, but he always looked at Gu Ming when he walked two steps.

Gu Ming knew that he must be in a bad mood, so he reached out and rubbed Zhou Yu's head while taking the elevator.

The consulting room is very spacious and looks like half a home as a whole, with a sofa, a TV, and even a fireplace.

Before going in, Gu Ming took a special look at the name plate at the door. The attending physician was a man named Donald, which reminded Gu Ming of Donald Duck.

"You're here," Zhou Yu entered, and the male doctor sitting on the sofa stood up, "How are you feeling these days?"

Even though the Chinese he speaks is not very fluent, at least it is not too difficult to communicate with others.

"It's okay, my ears will be blocked when I wake up in the morning, and it's basically fine at other times." Zhou Yu said and glanced at Gu Ming, "I mentioned this to you, my boyfriend Gu Ming."

Donald smiled politely at Gu Ming: "Hello."

"Hello." Gu Ming just nodded, realizing that Donald really has a big mouth like a duck.

"Just sit down for a while," Donald handed a list to Zhou Yu, "Please go upstairs for an inspection first."

Zhou Yu took the list and looked at Gu Ming habitually. Gu Ming squeezed his hand lightly: "Go."

The other party looked reluctant, but left honestly.

"He is very dependent on you." Donald poured a cup of coffee for Gu Ming, "It's good, it's not so lonely to have someone accompany you to treat the disease."

"Doctor, how is he doing now?" Gu Ming asked him in English.

A look of relief immediately appeared on Donald's face, and he spoke a lot faster after switching back to English: "Just call me Don, and there will be opportunities to meet each other in the future."

Gu Ming didn't speak. Although Donald's tone was gentle and relaxed, he always felt that the atmosphere was a bit oppressive for no reason.

"To put it simply, you have to be prepared to fight a protracted war." Donald said, "He has been sick for a long time, and the medical records were six years ago. You probably haven't heard of this disease, Eustachian tube open syndrome. The Eustachian tube is a section of passage connecting the human ear cavity to the nasopharynx. This passage is usually closed, and it will only open when performing actions such as yawning and swallowing. The situation around the Eustachian tube is severely atrophied. This resulted in frequent opening of the pipeline."

During the week when he stayed in the country to go through visa procedures, Gu Ming checked a lot of knowledge about this aspect on the Internet, and he had a general understanding of the disease.

But now connecting the illness with Zhou Yu, a faint sense of panic climbed up Gu Ming's back like vines.

"There are many causes, physical and mental, maybe high pressure and high work intensity." Donald turned a pen, "About three or four years ago, he had autologous blood filling surgery in China, you can understand In order to fill up the hole in the Eustachian tube with my own blood."

"Is the effect not good?" Gu Ming frowned.

"Actually, the effect is quite good," Donald said. "This treatment method works quickly, but it can't cure the disease fundamentally... You know, the autologous blood will return to the body with the circulation, and he can only keep filling new."

Gu Ming couldn't help shivering: "Is there no other treatment?"

"Of course, he has tried a lot," Donald put down his pen, "but all of them are palliative, not the root cause, so it was suggested to stop work and let him concentrate on resting and recuperating."

"So... is there a high chance of recovery?" Gu Ming asked the most concerned topic.

For Gu Ming now, time is not a problem, as long as Zhou Yu recovers one day and can go back to sing again.

"Keep at it, it will get better," Donald said.

Zhou Yu's inspection items should not be too many, but he came back in 10 minutes.

Donald carefully read the test results, changed Zhou Yu to some new medicine, and began to talk to Gu Ming about a series of precautions.

Probably when to take medicine and how to maintain some good living habits.

"It's okay to make love." Donald said this sentence with a face full of fear.

Gu Ming felt uncomfortable for a moment, wondering whether the doctor could see from some clues that the two of them played in the bathtub last night.

Donald spoke English, so Zhou Yu just glanced at Gu Ming in a daze.

"Don't keep lying on the sofa." Gu Ming translated for Zhou Yu.

"Orgasm can effectively release stress and keep the mood happy." Donald looked at Gu Ming and continued.

"Lying down for a long time will easily strain the lumbar muscles, so you should exercise more." Gu Ming continued.

Zhou Yu nodded honestly, as if he could do it seriously.

"Let him hear what's going on, we're all adults." Donald smiled.

"I'll find a chance to convey it when I get back." Gu Ming sighed.

The main reason is that Zhou Yu can't be allowed to be violent anymore.

The two thanked Donald for coming out of the hospital and rented a new bike to ride back.

"What were you chattering about with Don?" Zhou Yu stepped on the bicycle and looked at Gu Ming with a frown.

"It's nothing, just be obedient and heal your illness." Gu Ming said.

"Gu Gu," Zhou Yu didn't rush to pedal the bike, and put his left foot on the ground, "If... I mean if."

Gu Ming had already taken a step forward, but now he stopped and looked back at Zhou Yu, "What if?"

"Do you know about sunk costs?" Zhou Yu asked suddenly.

Of course Gu Ming knew that he was a major in economics, even though he had dropped out of school for many years.

Sunk cost refers to the cost that has been invested uncontrollably, how much it will affect people's subsequent decisions.

However, things that have been invested are like a sunken ship. Not to mention that they cannot be retrieved, and people may choose to make mistakes because they are reluctant to part with this part.

What Zhou Yu wanted to say was that when Gu Ming accompanied him here, what he sacrificed was the time that would never come back.

And with Gu Ming's temperament, anyway, he has invested in it for a year, so three years, five years, or even ten years may follow.

From the day Gu Ming made his decision, Zhou Yu has been enveloped in this kind of anxiety and panic.

Gu Ming paused for a while, stopped the car casually, walked to Zhou Yu's side in a few steps, and looked at him: "Then have you heard of bottoming out?"

Zhou Yu didn't speak, even if he hadn't heard it, he should understand the literal meaning.

"If this is an investment, then I've made money." Gu Ming said, "No matter what happens next, you will always develop in a good direction."

"How do you know?" Zhou Yu asked.

"You don't care about me." Gu Ming was very reluctant, but in fact, it was not a good feeling to be suppressed in his heart.

Zhou Yu's expression now is exactly the same as that day when he was in Gu Ming's rental house.

"Don't think about what you have all day long." Gu Ming patted him on the head, "It's almost enough to decorate your brain with yellow waste, and it's a sunk cost."

"Fuck." Zhou Yu suddenly laughed, "Didn't you tell Don something weird just now? I heard sexual."

"Tsk," Gu Ming pushed his car over and stepped on it again, "Look, where is your vocabulary?"

Zhou Yu smiled and bumped his elbow, "Gu Gu taught me how to speak English."

"How to teach? I will speak English to you from now on?" Gu Ming glanced at him.

"Teach me a few simple sentences first," Zhou Yu said seriously, "For example, I love you."

Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked away, "I won't teach."

Zhou Yu tried to trick him again, so Gu Ming pedaled his bicycle for a long way.

Actually feeling a little better.

Gu Ming was completely free in the afternoon, and the landlord and Zhou Yu squatted downstairs to study the newly bought oven, and forced a communication for a long time.

As a person whose culinary skills are still at the lower stage, Gu Ming can only watch from the sidelines.

The two of them didn't need an interpreter for the problem, so they had a good chat.

"I'll go out for a walk." Gu Ming got up, and Toto was so excited that he got up from the ground.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yu turned his head.

"Just take a walk." Gu Ming touched the phone.

Zhou Yu nodded, "Then don't go far, remember to come back for afternoon tea."

"Okay," Gu Ming finished, and then he spoke again after he settled down: "You are obedient at home."

Zhou Yute smiled happily and waved to him.

"Really, it's so boring to go out." The landlady pushed Zhou Yu, "You might as well go up and kiss him."

Gu Ming smiled, and closed the garden gate before Toto rushed towards him.

Toto was jumping and barking, and the landlord yelled twice inside, so the dog stopped disturbing the residents, and went back to the house with its head drooping aggrieved.

Gu Ming called up the navigation and looked at the approximate direction to go.

In fact, he didn't come out for a walk, he wanted to find a suitable job around here.

There are always expenses to live here, and the money he earned from writing songs before is definitely not enough.

Gu Ming was not in a hurry, and slowly followed the navigation with his earphones inserted.

Today is a working day, and there were not many people in this area, but now I can't see a single person on the road.

After a short arch bridge, the number of talents gradually increased, which may be due to the arrival of the business district.

It is said to be a business district, but it is actually a place where restaurants and bars gather. When I walk there, I feel that it feels quite familiar.

Back then, he and Fu Yan loved running to places like this to spend their time soaking.

Gu Ming either drinks, or plays and sings casually with his guitar, while Fu Yan is only in charge of picking up girls.

Time passed in such a flash.

One advantage of this kind of exquisite shop is that the recruitment information will be written on the board outside the door.

Gu Ming's family first scanned the store name.

It happened to be afternoon tea time, and basically all the stores were open, except for one that had a sign of closed.

To be precise, a hand just turned the sign over.

It looks like a restaurant, through the floor-to-ceiling windows you can see scattered tables and chairs, and there is a piano inside.

Nine out of ten pianos are good things, and Gu Ming can recognize them even without glasses.

He took a step back, trying to see if there was a board with recruitment information, but first met the person who closed the door of the store.

A foreign man with curly hair, tall and tall, with eye-catching lake blue eyes.

The color looked familiar to him.

"Gu Ming?" The other party spoke directly.

It was only then that Gu Ming recognized who the other party was, mainly because this person looked...as if his gene had undergone a mutation.

"You fucking traitor!" The other party yelled while holding the door.
