Cloud City.
Gu Yian, who had always been calm, had a rare hesitation in his steps. When his hand touched the door handle, the clear and melodious sound of wind chimes rang.
He suddenly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, but the person inside the door had already noticed the movement here. Through the glass, Gu Yian's eyes felt inexplicably hot.
Memories from a previous life resurfaced.
In his previous life, just when Gu Yian was making a splash in the entertainment industry, Gu Yian welcomed Cao Chuanfeng, who claimed to be his biological father, and his adopted sister Cao Wanyue.
After Cao Chuanfeng took out the paternity test proving that the two were father and daughter, Gu Yi'an was afraid that his mood would fluctuate, which would affect his preparation for the exam. I wanted to shelve this matter temporarily and talk about it after the college entrance examination.
But Cao Chuanfeng wanted to make up for his daughter. He also used his deceased mother's belongings as bait.
In addition, I learned that my grandpa had been in a serious car accident not long ago and had been in a coma after being rescued by doctors. He might wake up at any time or die in a coma at any time.
Cao Wanrou and Cao Chuanfeng said, "Daughter, before your grandfather was in coma, his biggest wish was to find you."
"Your mother always blamed herself for losing you. Later she suffered from depression and paranoia and died unexpectedly."
"If your mother knows that you are back home, she will be very happy even in heaven."
"Sister, is it because of me that you don't want to go home? If you can come back, I will give you my bedroom, new clothes, and jewelry. You are my father's biological daughter. I... I... can leave."
At that time, looking at the two pairs of red eyes in front of him, Gu Yian, who still had expectations for family affection, had not yet sorted out his thoughts. But I am afraid that my grandpa will pass away suddenly and one day I will regret my current decision.
Unfortunately, when I returned, I faced an old man lying in a coma on the hospital bed. Maybe it was due to blood ties. Gu Yian had an inexplicable feeling of closeness to the old man, so he would come to the hospital to learn massage from the nurse aunt almost whenever he had time to prevent his grandfather's muscle atrophy. He often talked to his grandfather about what happened to him today. .
The day before, I was happily telling my grandpa that I would be attending a very important audition the next day. This opportunity was particularly rare, so I might not be able to accompany my grandpa tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yian, whose biological clock was always on time, did not wake up naturally as usual on the second day of the audition.
The three alarm clocks set in advance kept ringing hoarsely for half an hour before they reluctantly woke Gu Yian from his sleep.
There was no one in the house at that time, neither Cao Chuanfeng, Cao Wanrou, nor the aunt employed by the family.
There was no time to think too much, and I stumbled onto the road with my head feeling a little hungover. After urgently contacting the staff responsible for docking, the other party agreed to help postpone the order for one hour.
However, there were frequent incidents on the road. The car that Gu Yian finally got a taxi was scratched. The other party was unforgiving, but Gu Yian reluctantly left the scene after taking out all the cash in his wallet.
Gu Yian is not stupid, on the contrary, his IQ is very high. It was just that she was busy with preparations for the audition and the sudden recognition of her family, so she had no time to think.
The scenes that happened in the past month were presented in front of his eyes like a three-dimensional picture. They were sequenced and connected in front of Gu Yian's eyes, and he came up with the most impossible possibility...
Her biological father, who always looked guilty when facing Gu Yi'an, always talking about making amends with her, and her adoptive sister, who always looked at her with a flirtatious attitude and hesitated to speak, each had their own little secrets. thought.
After all, Gu Yian had a habit of refusing to take in anything except water after washing at night. The only thing that differed from his usual habit was that before going to bed, his good father and adopted sister personally carried a cup of water. The bowl was said to be a top-quality snow swallow soup cup, and Gu Yian insisted on drinking it.
Even now, I can still recall that after her rejection, Cao Wanrou's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked at Gu Yi'an with an extremely forbearing and aggrieved expression.
Cao Chuanfeng, who was standing aside and watching the interaction between the two sisters, helped: "Xiaorou asked Ma Zhang to make this specially for you early in the morning. I heard that you refused it a few days ago. Don't waste Xiaorou's time this time." I feel like it”
Cao Wanrou bit her lip gently and said, "Sister, you have been working too hard recently. This Xueyan is really rare. Dad spent a lot of effort to find it. It is very useful for replenishing energy."
Gu Yian thought about how he felt at that time, and seemed to feel that he was indeed a little ungrateful, so he couldn't bear to brush off the other person's kindness one after another, and drank it like a cow chewing a peony while the two of them watched.
Naturally, I didn't see the pride and contempt in their eyes.
But everything has become a fact. Gu Yian did almost miss the audition for some reason, and the culprit of this incident was most likely the cup of 'Love' Xueyan that he drank last night.
After all, there are only a few people in this world who harm others without benefiting themselves. Most people who frame or harm others do so because they can remove the obstacles in front of them and gain benefits for themselves.
Gu Yian didn't know what benefit it would bring to the father and daughter to prevent him from participating in the audition, but he knew that his decision to go home was still too hasty.
He had no choice but to explain to himself: "Well, if there is really no relationship, just stay far away from now on. For now, it's better to concentrate on the audition."
Who knows that this director did not follow common sense and did not first test the actors' acting skills and line skills by playing a certain role like other castings. Instead, the actors who will be auditioned will go into a group of five to go into a specially vacated room for a written test. .
Some of the people coming out of the examination room were thoughtful, some looked strange, some were frustrated, and some were excited.
However, it is a competitive relationship after all, and no one is interested in asking about the content of the exam. After all, the on-site staff is watching.
When Gu Yian arrived, it happened to be their turn. Gu Yian's name had been called three times and no one answered. When the staff was about to skip, Gu Yian finally squeezed over.
Following everyone to the examination room, he first calmed his breathing, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the exam bell to ring. Naturally, she didn't know that her cell phone, which had been set to silent, was flashing crazily in the schoolbag she kept in her locker.
As the exam began, Gu Yian abandoned all distracting thoughts and devoted himself to the exam. Just a quarter of the time had passed, and there seemed to be a commotion at the door, followed by silence.
After a while, she had some friendship with Gu Yian and helped her delay time. The staff member Xiaohua and another person who looked like the junior leader called Gu Yian out of the examination room together.
Facing the surprised Gu Yian, Xiaohua said with difficulty: "Yi'an, I shouldn't have said this to you at this time.
But I just received a call from your father, and your grandpa woke up from a coma. The doctor said it might be a sign of recovery, but he didn't know how long it would last. Your dad said your grandpa wants to see you one last time."
Gu Yian rubbed his thumb and index finger, remembering that when he took time out to visit the old man in the hospital this month, the old man's body was covered with instruments, and his thin body was lying on the hospital bed silently.
After struggling with my thoughts for a while, I finally turned around and had a few words with the invigilator and handed in the paper in advance.
Taking out his schoolbag from the locker, he saw more than a dozen missed calls on his cell phone, and the caller was Cao Chuanfeng.
After calling back, Cao Chuanfeng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yi'an, have you gone to the audition? My lady from the Cao family doesn't have to work so hard. The driver is already under the building. Come to the hospital quickly."
The other party hung up the phone before Gu Yian could speak.
It was not a peak traffic period, so the journey was smooth. The driver applied full power and arrived at the hospital in 20 minutes.
After not seeing him for a few days, the old man seems to have become thinner.
At this moment, grandpa is still wearing a ventilator and is half lying on the hospital bed. But he was looking out with half-closed eyes, and his trembling fingers tried hard to lift and point at Gu Yian who was standing at the door. Gu Yian seemed to see the tears in the old man's eyes.
Cao Chuanfeng was the first to notice this scene, quickly walked to Gu Yian's side, roughly pulled Gu Yian's wrist to the hospital bed, and seemed to say emotionally: "Dad, this is Xiao An, it's me and Si Qi’s daughter, I found her.”
"Good-good-good..." Accompanied by his labored breathing, Grandpa Gu stared closely at Gu Yian's face and said, "It's so similar. My child, it's Grandpa--no, I can't." -Find you as soon as possible, you have suffered a lot."
Gu Yian stopped kneading the painful wrist scratched by Cao Chuanfeng and looked at the old man in front of him who exuded guilt and love from the inside out.
He took the initiative to sit by the bed, held the old man's hand, and with tears in his eyes, whispered: "Grandpa"
In the past month of getting along with Cao Chuanfeng and Cao Wanrou, the sense of disobedience that occasionally came up to bother Gu Yian seemed to have been explained.
She seemed to have never felt such sincerity and intimacy from these two people as Grandpa Gu did today, inadvertently showing from the inside out.
Cao Chuanfeng on the side seemed to have lost patience with the scene of meeting relatives in front of him, and interjected: "Dad, Lawyer Wang is here and waiting outside the door."
Grandpa Gu didn't seem to hear anything, and just looked intently at the lost granddaughter in front of him.
The memory stopped abruptly.
Back to reality, the sun reflected the shadow through the glass, and an old man in a wheelchair was walking eagerly in Gu Yian's direction with the help of others.
Gu Yian blinked his eyes hard to push back the tears. The figure in front of him seemed to overlap with the ravine on the old man's face in his memory.
Gu Yian raised his head and covered his eyes with one arm until the sound of the wheelchair scraping against the ground stopped. A friendly voice came to my ears: "Xiao An, I'm sorry, grandpa is late."
Gu Yian pursed his lips, like a wronged child who finally found his parents. He couldn't help but bury his face in the old man's hands, his shoulders trembling.
The old man gently rubbed Gu Yian's head and muttered: "An'an is good, An'an is not afraid. Grandpa is there for everything."
