1747 Words
Gu Baisheng didn't know what to do.
The boy suddenly frowned in pain.
She then suddenly realized what she needed to do. She promised him, "I won't call the police. Rest assured. I'll go to the d**g store to buy you some medicine and bind you up. Wait for me."
She stood up and was ready to leave.
Yet that boy was still grabbing her hands.
Gu Baisheng turned over and looked at him. She saw him looking at her worriedly. He clearly had much worry and concern.
Gu Baisheng softened her voice. She gently patted on the back of his hand, "Rest assured. I won't tell anyone that you're here. I won't call the police without your permission. I'll go buy the medicine and come back to bind you up. You can stay here to heal. I'll look after you."
The boy opened his mouth. He was surprised by what Gu Baisheng said.
His eyes were blinking with doubt and confusion.
He had suffered so much. No one was willing to help him like this.
People and this society were all so cruel. Why would this woman help him unconditionally?
Was this real?
"Rest assured. I'll come back soon."
Gu Baisheng calmed him down and left the room.
The boy watched her leave. There was bright light wandering in his dark and ink-like eyes.
For a moment, no one could tell the emotions in his eyes.
...
Gu Baisheng went out and purchased alcohol pads, disinfectants, and medicine that would help the wounds to heal.
She then went back to the hotel room with all those.
The boy curled up by the end of the bed, sitting on the carpet. He hugged his knees with his hands and was on the alert.
Hearing the door being opened, he turned his head to look cautiously and nervously.
Seeing it was Gu Baisheng, he was relieved.
He stared at her like a stray cat being picked up by the owner. His eyes were reserved but earnest and nervous.
Gu Baisheng took out the things she purchased at the d**g store one by one.
She cleaned, disinfected, applied medicine, and patched up his wounds adeptly with her fingers.
From his shoulders to his arms and from his back to his thighs.
She carefully cleaned and handled every bit of his wound.
After she patched him up, she was slightly sweating.
Maybe the temperature of the air conditioner in the room was high. The tip of the boy's nose was also covered in sweat.
Gu Baisheng used a piece of medical cotton she cut off to wipe the sweat off his nose. She comforted him, "All done. I'll change the medicine for you every day. You just need to rest. You'll heal in no time."
She didn't know what kind of tough life this boy had before.
But now that she saw it, she would try her best to help him get through.
The boy nodded and signed thank you.
Gu Baisheng couldn't understand his sign language. The boy looked at her awkwardly and confusedly.
After a while, he took over her hand and started writing on her palm.
Gu Baisheng tracked the strokes he wrote on her palm. She had an epiphany and asked, "So you're called Xiao Rong?"
The boy nodded timidly.
Gu Baisheng then asked, "How old are you?"
The boy hesitated and wrote a number on her palm.
Gu Baisheng was surprised, "You're 23?"
The boy nodded.
Gu Baisheng observed his face. He looked like 17 or 18.
How could he be so much older than he appeared to be?
Seeing Gu Baisheng's surprised look, Xiao Rong looked self-abased. He kept writing, "I'm not very healthy, so my growth is slower than my peers."
After he wrote that, he didn't dare to look at Gu Baisheng's eyes. He took his fingers back timidly and clenched his hands together nervously.
He looked like a teenager.
Gu Baisheng remembered his slightly dull look when she first met him.
She looked at the many wounds on him that were just bound up.
She thought he must grow up in an awful environment and was abused for a long time. Thus, he looked like this.
Otherwise, why would he have so many wounds and look like a person who had never seen the outside world?
Besides, he was an adult. Yet he was still as naive as a teenager. Clearly, he was impacted by the environment, and his mind developed slower than his peers.
That was why everything on him was less natural and mature than his peers.
Gu Baisheng sighed gently. She gave him the robe that the hotel prepared for the guest and covered his body, "I don't know what happened to you, but I'll try my best to help you. Don't worry."
Hearing that, Xiao Rong looked up. His beautiful eyes were shimmering and full of incredibility.
"Do you want to eat something? I have some rice and food here that are a bit cold. I'll warm it downstairs..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Rong took over the box in her hand. He opened it and started gorging down the food with a spoon.
Gu Baisheng was shocked by his behavior again.
But soon she responded and gently stroke his back, "Slow down. No one is competing with you. Slow down."
Gu Baisheng felt like she picked up a stray cat that was abandoned, yet extremely beautiful and disabled.
The soft spot in her heart was hit.
She looked after Xiao Rong for the dinner. Then she saw him getting on the bed and was tucked in. She remembered Song Shuang who was still in the hospital needing her to look after him.
She enjoined him by his bedside, "I need to leave for a while. But I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll bring you food. When you wake up, just wait for me in the room. Don't go anywhere, ok?"
Xiao Rong looked at her nervously and signed.
He remembered halfway that she couldn't understand. He then took over her hand and wrote on her palm, "Will you really come back tomorrow morning?"
"Yes. Absolutely. I never lie."
Gu Baisheng answered.
Hearing her, Xiao Rong was a bit relieved. But he still stared at her and refused to close his eyes to go to bed.
As if he was afraid that when he closed his eyes, he wouldn't see her when he opened his eyes again.
Seeing him staring at her, Gu Baisheng smiled, "You need to close your eyes to sleep. Close your eyes now."
Xiao Rong hesitated for a second and closed his eyes while his eyelashes shook.
Gu Baisheng stayed by his bedside. Soon, the exhausted Xiao Rong fell asleep.
The sound of long, even breathing also sounded softly from the room.
Gu Baisheng looked at his face and dazed for a while.
Out of nowhere, she suddenly thought.
If Cheng Bi was still alive, even if he was disabled like this, or retarded, or lost his memory, she would take good care of him.
She wouldn't abandon him for life.
Thinking about him, she looked down and felt sadder.
Xiao Rong showed up as such a pitiable weak. He also crossed her guard against strangers without a hitch.
She naturally accepted this strange man who broke into her life.
...
Gu Baisheng sneakily opened the door and closed the door distractedly.
She looked up subconsciously at Song Shuang who was on the hospital bed.
Song Shuang frowned his long and handsome eyebrows and stared at her coldly and acidly.
Gu Baisheng was startled, "You're still awake?"
Song Shuang saw her being startled. He frowned even harder unhappily, "Who let you in?"
Gu Baisheng smiled awkwardly, "I thought you didn't have dinner, so I bought some for you."
She then lifted up the fast-food box in her hand to show him.
Song Shuang glanced at it coldly. He didn't show any sign of being moved by her care.
He just said coldly, "It's 10:15 pm now. Who do you think has dinner now?"
Gu Baisheng was speechless.
She bit her lower lips. She then saw a three-sorts fruit dish on the table by his bedside. It had watermelon, strawberry, and apple that were sliced.
Clearly, it was not the after-dinner fruit served by the hospital.
Song Family had someone sent it over.
They probably also brought dinner to Song Shuang. She didn't need to bring him any food.
She put the box on the other table, "As long as you had dinner. I was just worried about you being starved."
Song Shuang was the only child of the Song Family.
He was the future controller of Song Group.
His mother, Lin Fengya, and father, Song Zhaoyang, would give him more care on his diet and daily life.
If Hu Hui hadn't thrown her at Song Shuang,
Lin Fengya and Song Zhaoyang probably would have found a wife for Song Shuang now.
Thinking about that, Gu Baisheng felt displeased.
Seeing her sitting on the sofa, not intending to leave, Song Shuang said, "You can go home."
Gu Baisheng looked up at him, "I'll stay guard tonight."
"I don't need that." He rejected her as usual with a bad attitude.
Gu Baisheng said, "You were hurt because of me. I should stay."
"I don't need your payback."
Song Shuang chased her out impatiently.
"I don't have to repay you. But your parents know you married me. If I don't do something to let them know I'm treating you well, they will seek more trouble and force me to divorce you as soon as possible."
Song Shuang was speechless.
Seeing her retort shutting Song Shuang's mouth,
Gu Baisheng lay on the couch and started thinking about what she encountered today.
Who was this Xiao Rong?
She kept thinking and suddenly realized Xiao Rong lived in Jinshayuan.
Song Shuang also lived in Jinshayuan before. She had a thought and opened her eyes. She looked at Song Shuang earnestly.
Song Shuang felt her stare and looked at her.
Their eyes met in the air. One was warm like the fire.
The other was cold like ice.
After a while,
Song Shuang asked her first, "What do you want to say?"
Gu Baisheng thought it over and asked, "Do you know a guy called Xiao Rong?"
There was a strange look on Song Shuang's face, but he quickly said, "I don't."
Gu Baisheng thought Song Shuang must have lied.
