When I woke up the next morning, Liang Yuchen was still nowhere to be seen.
Qin Buyu had breakfast and decided to go back to the Liang family to visit his grandfather.
They had an unhappy meal, Liang Yuchen was busy, and she was feeling unwell recently, so she hadn't seen him for more than a month.
Qin Buyu arrived at Liang's house. Grandpa Liang was taking care of his flowers and plants in the garden. When he saw her coming, he happily greeted her to see his newly cultivated orchids.
"Where's Liang Yuchen, why didn't I come with you?"
"He's busy..."
"It's just an excuse," the old man said, raising his voice. "I think he can live a good life at work. I used to manage as many people as he did, and I wasn't so busy that he couldn't stay home."
"He is still young, how can he compare with you!" Qin Buyu coaxed him, "When he comes, you can teach him more."
"You are a considerate kid who knows how to talk. Unlike him, you will make me angry. It's rare to come here today. After dinner with me, I will go back. I asked the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes. My friends gave them to me two days ago. There is a box of wild large yellow croaker, if you like fish, just try it."
Qin Buyu does like to eat fish on weekdays, but now he starts to feel sick just hearing the word "fish".
"No, Grandpa," she quickly refused, "I have a bad stomach recently. I avoid spicy food and want to eat something lighter."
"Then let Aunt Li make soup for you."
"Okay, thank you grandpa."
Qin Buyu responded obediently to Grandpa Liang's kindness.
She had just finished dinner with Grandpa Liang when she received a call from Liang Yuchen's friend Chen Junyan: "Sister-in-law, are you at home? Brother Liang has a stomach problem and is in the hospital. Can you come over?"
"Okay, I'll go there now."
Qin Buyu said hello to Grandpa Liang and took a taxi to the hospital.
Liang Yuchen was lying on the bed in the emergency room, scolding Chen Junyan with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Why did you call her here for nothing? It will cause trouble."
"With my sister-in-law taking care of you, I can leave with peace of mind." Chen Junyan said matter-of-factly, "Every time you are in a bad mood, you just use work to numb yourself. Why do you do this?"
"I'm fine."
"You have stomach bleeding and you still say you're fine? If you do this again, I'll tell my sister-in-law everything to save you..."
"you dare!"
"Then you promise me to treat yourself well. No matter how much you work, you must know how to balance work and rest. If you don't care about your body anymore, I'm not trying to scare you. You may die young. You are the only one in your family. you……"
"enough!"
Liang Yuchen's voice was already on the verge of anger, and Chen Junyan stopped talking.
After a while, he said again: "I'll pick up Xiaoxiao tomorrow, so just leave it alone."
Liang Yuchen frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
"You can't really treat her..."
Liang Yuchen shot two piercing cold lights at him, causing Chen Junyan to swallow the last half of his sentence.
"I'll pick her up, and I'll explain some things to her clearly."
"Then sister-in-law..."
"Don't say a word."
When Qin Buyu rushed to the emergency room, Liang Yuchen was already lying on the hospital bed and asleep, looking very tired.
"How is he? Is it serious?"
Seeing Qin Buyu's worried look, Chen Junyan hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, I just work too hard and don't eat on time, so I'm tired. I'll have something to do later, so I can only bother you to come over. His bottle of drip You can go home when you’re done.”
"Okay, you go about your business quickly, I'll watch him."
Chen Junyan gave a few more instructions and left.
The emergency room is the busiest place in the hospital. Liang Yuchen was placed in a separate room, which was considered special care.
She looked at Liang Yuchen on the hospital bed and looked at him up close for the first time.
His brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyelashes were long and thick, and they were trembling up and down gently. His tall nose made a slight breathing sound, his lips were pressed tightly, and his face was solemn, as if he was having a not-so-good dream.
Will he be there in his dream?
Qin Buyu was startled by the sudden thought that flashed in his mind.
It’s better not to have any more. Dreams with her must be nightmares, right?
Thinking of this, she lowered her head sadly, not noticing that Liang Yuchen, who was still asleep just now, had opened his eyes slightly and stared at her secretly.
He remembered that she had a chubby face when she was a child, and his favorite thing to do at that time was to pinch her red little face and force her to call him brother.
And he was only allowed to call him brother, which was extremely overbearing.
Now she has become thinner and has a melon-shaped face, fair skin, and a slender neck, like an elegant swan.
He once thought he had forgotten her face.
There is a group photo of the three of them at home, but the facial features of the little girl in the middle can no longer be seen clearly. When outsiders see it, they don’t know whether it was deliberately erased or caused by too much rubbing.
The moment he pushed the door open and walked into the ward, he didn't know whether he was eager to see her again or whether he was afraid of seeing her.
But one thing is for sure, he recognized her immediately.
His body shape and appearance have undergone tremendous changes, but his smile is still the same as when he was a child.
It seemed that the next second, she would sweetly call him brother.
But she didn't, luckily she didn't.
He didn't know how to face her, so that day he briefly said hello to Grandpa Qin and left on the pretext that he had something to do.
He went directly to Lin Junyan's office and slept on the recliner inside for half a day.
Then I was woken up by a phone call from my grandpa.
"Grandpa Qin's time is running out. You marry Buyu immediately to fulfill his wish."
He had just met her once and already he couldn't control his emotions, and marrying her was something he couldn't even think about.
He flatly refused.
"It's okay if you don't get married," Grandpa replied, "I can go with Mr. Qin so as not to upset you."
Liang Yuchen knew that the old man always kept his word and never joked.
He had no choice but to agree.
But don’t even think about having a wedding.
He neither wants blessings from others, nor does he want to promise happiness to anyone.
But after getting married, things seemed not as bad as he imagined.
She had no memory of her childhood and never mentioned their time together, so when she wasn't smiling, she was just a stranger to him.
But when she occasionally smiled, those memories he wanted to bury suddenly came alive.
Her smile was something he couldn't bear.
So he never smiled in front of her because he was afraid of seeing her smile in response.
They coexisted peacefully for nearly two years and became familiar strangers to each other.
He felt that it was not impossible to live like this for the rest of his life.
As for the other things, he no longer wished for it.
After the transfusion, the driver took Liang Yuchen and Qin Buyu home.
When getting off the car, Qin Buyu was worried about Liang Yuchen's health and reached out to help him, but he didn't even look at her and walked straight ahead.
