Gu Rong

Chapter 17

The parking lot was silent, and the empty above-ground parking spaces were reflected by a few street lamps, surrounded by magnificent office buildings with lights still shining.

Gu Rong didn't expect to see Xu Junming again in a short time. I haven't seen him for more than a month, but it seems that this time has passed for a long time.

Seeing the unstoppable blood flowing down Xu Junming's lips, Gu Rong put the car keys he took out back into his pocket: "Go to the hospital to take a picture and treat the wound."

Xu Junming put his hands in his coat pockets and walked beside Gu Rong. The pain from the bridge of his nose made Xu Junming grit his teeth reluctantly, his lips were already pale and trembling from the pain.

Gu Rong pursed his lips with a solemn expression. What happened in just half an hour was more laborious than his eight-hour surgery during the day.The silence between the two made the road to the main entrance of the hospital longer than usual. Gu Rong still vividly remembered the scene of making out in the hospital half an hour ago, and in a flash, only the embarrassment after the accident remained.

After the bleeding in the nasal cavity stopped, Gu Rong found medical gloves wrapped in ice. Fortunately, although Xu Junming had a broken nasal bone, it did not shift. The injury can be observed for a few more days and wait for it to heal naturally.

Xu Junming held the cold compress in his hand on the bridge of his nose, and the area around his swollen nose was red from the ice. He looked at Gu Rong who was sitting patiently aside but bowed his head in deep thought, and felt very uncomfortable: "You two are together. ?”

Gu Rong raised his head and said with a tired expression, "He's not my boyfriend."

Xu Junming frowned immediately after hearing such an answer: "That's good. I pushed you too hard before I left. After I actually arrived in New York, I realized that the life there was not what I wanted. I didn't I don't think about you for a day... During this time, have you thought about me?"

Of course he thought about Xu Junming.Even if the two-year relationship is not as blazing as a prairie fire, they are already used to living with each other.How could there be no turmoil in the heart when someone who has been with him day and night for two years suddenly leaves.

It's just that he didn't know when he had already put an end to this relationship in his heart.

Xu Junming wants to have a higher and farther career, which he can understand. If he agreed to get married at that time or was willing to take an extra step and go to work with Xu Junming in New York, or if Xu Junming could refuse the temptation of the admission letter from the headquarters, then After being fired, they stayed in the capital to find an ordinary job, and the relationship between the two would not leave a gap for others to break in.

Both he and Xu Junming had pursuits and worries in their hearts, and neither side was willing to compromise for it, which resulted in today's situation.

Gu Rong made a decision in his heart, and said with a sinking heart: "Jun Ming, let's look forward."

Xu Junming knew that Gu Rong would always think carefully and understand everything before making up his mind, but once he made a decision, he would rarely change it, which is why Xu Junming couldn't believe Gu Rong's rejection of him: "I have been in the company for five years, and I have never I haven’t made any mistakes, and the compensation for me to be fired by the company is written in the contract. If it weren’t for someone behind the scenes, how could the company do such a thing with only losses and no benefits? You know I won’t lie to you, Zhuang Shaoqi, he—oh, Dare to do it but don't have the guts to admit it, Brother Gu, how could you like such a man! Can you forgive him for doing such a thing to me?"

Gu Rong waited silently for Xu Junming to finish speaking, and the thumping on his back was painful, engulfing him like a dark cloud.

Such emotions annoyed Gu Rong.His rationality clearly told him that Xu Junming would not cheat, but there was always a voice in his heart, reminding him that perhaps Zhuang Shaoqi really didn't do this...

Zhuang Shaoqi's boldness, presumptuousness, capriciousness, and thoughtfulness flashed before his eyes like a slideshow. It turned out that this person had unknowingly walked into his life. This kind of emotion that could not be completely separated from reason and emotion made him feel unprecedented. of fear.

Gu Rong separated himself from his emotions and said to Xu Junming: "The hospital recently fired two people from the finance department, and the position of finance director is still vacant. If you need it, you can apply. With your resume, you will be hired It won't be difficult."

Xu Junming vaguely found some hope from Gu Rong's words, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Do you want to work with me?"

"We are in different departments, and we don't usually have the opportunity to meet each other. And I don't want to hide it from you, Shaoqi is the director of the hospital." Gu Rong said bluntly. He hoped to make up for the loss that Zhuang Shaoqi's actions had brought to Xu Junming, so he was willing to propose This job opportunity, but he didn't want to cause Xu Junming to misunderstand because of the future that would not exist between the two of them.

Xu Junming smiled wryly, pulled the corners of his mouth forcefully, lowered his head and said to himself in frustration: "You have already rejected me, why do I still have hope for us..."

After treating Xu Junming's wound, it was almost midnight when Gu Rong left the hospital.Traffic lights flashed alone on the wide road, and it was rare to be empty in the crowded capital city at this time.

Gu Rong was depressed, and drove a car around the neighborhood of his house on the empty road.

The ringtones of the text messages on the mobile phone kept coming, and Gu Rong knew who the person who sent the message was without looking.There is only one person who will send him uninterrupted messages and pester him until he replies.

Gu Rong parked the car aside, and finally couldn't resist turning on his phone.

[Brother Rong, can I go home with you tomorrow? ]

[The day after tomorrow will be fine...]

[The day after tomorrow, if you disagree again, I will be angry! ]

[Isn't it okay this weekend? ]

[I miss you, Gu Rong. ]

[I know I was wrong.I'm too stingy, I shouldn't dislike your ex-boyfriend. ]

[But I just don't like it. ]

[You can't ignore me, I will have a headache and can't sleep. ]

[Are you willing to? ]

Gu Rong suppressed his desire to reply, and put the phone back into the bag.

Zhuang Shaoqi didn't want to admit it, and he couldn't get any results if he tried to press him, but even if Zhuang Shaoqi denied it, he still had to let Zhuang Shaoqi really taste the consequences of his actions.Only by being indifferent for a period of time to let Zhuang Shaoqi realize the price of making mistakes, can he understand that he should respect others instead of treating others in such an extreme egoistic way.

An empty home is too deserted.After a busy day, Gu Rong hasn't had dinner yet, and he doesn't even feel hungry.After lying on the sofa, his tired body protested, unwilling to move a step, but his clear mind prevented Gu Rong from falling asleep even if he closed his eyes.

Closed eyes seemed to have passed a century, when Gu Rong opened his eyes in a trance, the hour hand above his head only moved down two notches.

After falling asleep, it was already the middle of the night. Not long after the light sleep, Gu Rong was yelled by the alarm clock set on the mobile phone, subconsciously opened the text message box, and found a new message in the mobile phone.

[Do you want to end with me? ]

The message was sent three hours ago, and he thought that Zhuang Shaoqi was just talking casually. Could it be that he really didn't sleep all night...

Gu Rong could even imagine Zhuang Shaoqi's expression when he sent this sentence. Just texting Gu Rong felt that he was about to surrender. If Zhuang Shaoqi really stood in front of him, he didn't know how much perseverance he would have to use to hold on. forgive.

After Gu Rong got up, he simply combed his hair and went to work.

After buying two large cups of coffee in the hospital restaurant, Gu Rong felt his mental state improved slightly.

Han Qingqing's lung transplantation has not been rejected so far. Although lung transplantation can't get rid of the root cause of the disease for her, it can buy Han Qingqing a few more years, which is tantamount to giving her family more hope.

After the operation, when Han Qingqing was recuperating in the hospital these days, Gu Rong visited her almost every day. Recently, seeing that Han Qingqing was going to be in a blink of an eye, Gu Rong prepared a surprise for her in advance.

The day when he was discharged from the hospital happened to be Han Qingqing's birthday. Gu Rong bumped into Jansen standing in Han Qingqing's ward while making his rounds.Three years ago, Han Qingqing was Jenson's patient, and later transferred from the Department of Pediatrics to the Department of Cardiac Surgery because of his serious condition.

Jansen carried a twelve-inch large cake and placed it by the window sill, and also held a bouquet of Bai Baihe with a very faint fragrance in his hand.

When Han Qingqing saw Gu Rong, a bigger smile appeared on his face: "Doctor Gu, today is my birthday."

"Of course I remember." Gu Rong walked to the hospital bed, and the parents sitting in front of the window were cutting the cake that Jansen brought over, and the piece that was brought to Gu Rong was almost the size of a plate.

Gu Rong took the cake with a smile, tasted it and said: "Hong En Charity is recruiting paid volunteers. I told them about your situation. They really hope that you can come to Hong En to work. If you are interested, I can call them back today."

Before Han Qingqing finished listening to Gu Rong's words, he stood up excitedly from the hospital bed, threw himself into Gu Rong's arms and hugged him tightly: "Thank you! This way I also have the opportunity to meet friends."

Because of Han Qingqing's health and her parents' worries, Han Qing spent most of her time recuperating at home alone, and her long absence from school prevented her from making any friends at school.Now after the lung transplant, going out to the society to participate in some relaxing and fulfilling activities will be beneficial to Han Qingqing's body and will prolong his life.

Han Qingqing's parents were also very happy when they heard the news. When they were discharged from the hospital, they even brought all the snacks they had made at home these days to Gu Rong and Jian Sen.

After seeing off Han Qingqing's family, Gu Rong went to the lounge with some snacks.He has no appetite to go to restaurants to eat, and these snacks can just cover his daily calories.

Jansen took a bottle of iced drink from the refrigerator and sat on the other side of the sofa, flipped through the magazines on the coffee table, and suddenly turned around and winked at Gu Rong after thinking of something: "I passed by the HR department yesterday, you know Did I see anyone?" Without waiting for Gu Rong to answer, Jansen continued: "Xu Junming! I saw Xu Junming, and HR actually hired him as the financial director..."

Xu Junming called him two days ago to tell him about his decision. Gu Rong was not surprised, so he said "oh" indifferently.

Seeing Gu Rong's indifferent expression, Jansen patted him on the shoulder: "You said your girlfriend knows that your ex worked in his hospital?"

Gu Rong was stunned for a moment: "What kind of friend?"

Jan Sen could swallow a ping-pong ball with his mouth wide open: "Zhuang Shaoqi, why are you pretending to be confused!"

When the phone on the table rang twice, Jenson didn't pay attention to it, but he couldn't ignore the text messages coming one after another and the screen turning on: "Who is this?"

Gu Rong frowned and stared at the mobile phone that was shaking slightly when it vibrated on the table, swinging between looking at it and not looking at it.

Seeing that Gu Rong glanced around but didn't pick it up for no reason, Jansen opened the phone interface for him, and suddenly realized after reading the incoming letter: "Are you getting back together with Xu Junming? I still find it strange. Zhuang, who wanted to go to the hospital every day Young Master, why haven't I seen you in the past few days."

Gu Rong took back the mobile phone from Jan Sen, and said lightly to Jan Sen, "I have not reunited with Junming."

"Then why don't you reply to Shaoqi's text message?" Gu Rong was about to put the phone aside, when Jansen leaned over, and after reading the content of the letter, he said without knowing it: "You saw Zhuang Shaoqi sleeping with someone else?"

Gu Rong's dizziness was caused by Jian Sen's unreasonable words: "What are you talking about?"

Jansen pointed to the apology text message on the phone: "Otherwise, why would he keep admitting his mistakes to you?"

Gu Rong was silent for a moment, he was never willing to take the initiative to reveal his private life to others, but at this moment he suddenly wanted to hear other people's opinions: "Zhuang Shaoqi admits his mistakes not because he knows where he is wrong, but because he knows that I am angry I want to forgive him and have sex with him."

Before Gu Rong could explain the cause and effect, Jansen interjected, "Don't you want to have sex with him?"

"……no."

"Then what are you struggling with? You are neither his mother nor plan to marry him. Do you care if he knows what he did wrong?"

"..." Gu Rong put down the snack in his hand, put his phone in his pocket and stood up from the sofa: "I can't tell you."
