his kisses are sweet

Chapter 278 Part 5

Chapter 278 Extra text 5 Old things are like thorns in the throat ([-])

In March 27 years ago, Sheng Ge was still a girl who was less than a week old, and Gu Rugui was only eight years old at that time.

At the beginning of March of that year, he had a low-grade cold and a fever, which improved after taking medicine, and it started to recur a few days later. Finally, on March No. 15, the high fever persisted overnight. He was taken to the hospital.

The diagnosis turned out to be pneumonia, and the doctor recommended hospitalization.

After hanging the water for a few days, Gu Rugui's condition was well under control, but Gu Yunwen was worried, so he asked the school for a month's sick leave and asked him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days. At that time, Shengge also had a cold. Unable to take care of both, Uncle Gu can only stay in the hospital to take care of him.

Gu Rugui was so bored that he finally ran out of the ward quietly one afternoon when Uncle Gu was not paying attention.

Because of his mother's occupation and status, she was familiar with most of the colleagues in the hospital, so it was not easy for him to escape smoothly.

While avoiding the hospital nurses while turning his head, he ran towards the leisure area of ​​the hospital. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around and collided with the people behind him.

The man snorted.

"I'm sorry!" He quickly bowed his head and apologized.

He remembered that day was March NO.20, and it was also the first time he saw that man named Rong Shiyu.

Like his own father, he seemed to be very busy. When he bumped into him, the latter was giving orders to a young man in a suit and leather shoes beside him.

Before Rong Shiyu could make a sound, the young man looked at him clutching his stomach and exclaimed, "Mr. Rong, are you alright?"

He frowned, then let go of the hand covering his abdomen, glanced at the young Gu Rugui, and shook his head at the young man, "I'm fine, just do as I said, by the way, don't let me Madame found out that you have been to the hospital."

The young man pursed his lips in reassurance, "Yes."

After he left, Rong Shiyu looked at Gu Rugui's hospital clothes and his flustered expression, and suddenly understood something. He asked: "Seeing that you are so flustered, did you sneak out of the ward without permission?"

His voice was very gentle but with an unquestionable certainty, Gu Rugui blushed instantly, thinking about the conversation he had with his assistant just now, he raised his head not to be outdone and replied, "Aren't you too?"

Hearing this, Rong Shiyu was stunned and smiled.

Gu Rugui became a little annoyed, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing, you are right, I did sneak out too."

Rong Shiyu's calm made him a little speechless, anyway, he had already apologized, so he didn't want to pay attention to him, went to a nearby wooden chair and sat down, basking in the sun.

The afternoon sun in March is warm and very comfortable. He doesn't want to be hospitalized, he wants to go home. He hasn't seen his sister for several days. I was sick, and I don't know if I'm better now.

Gu Rugui didn't expect Rong Shiyu to sit down beside him, he turned his head to look at him displeased, and moved to the edge of the wooden chair.

Rong Shiyu didn't mind his movements, but leaned over and picked up a dead branch to draw something on the ground.

He glanced at it, only saw some horizontal and vertical straight lines, and thought to himself, my lord is so strange, is it so fun to draw lines on the ground?

Feeling his doubts, Rong Shiyu closed the four ends of the horizontal and vertical lines, and then looked sideways at him with a smile, "Child, can you play chess?"

Gu Rugui glanced at the squares on the ground, and asked suspiciously, "Is this a chessboard?"

"Well, a simple chessboard." After speaking, he handed him the dead branch in his hand, and leaned over to pick up a piece of dead branch, "Here, this is the chess piece."

Grandpa knows how to play chess. Although Gu Rugui lacks interest and has seen many black and white chess pieces, this is the first time he has encountered dead branches as chess pieces, so he is confused.

Seeing his confused look, Rong Shiyu twitched the corners of his lips, and took the lead in drawing a circle in the middle square of the chessboard on the ground, "I am a circle, you can draw any circle you like on the place where you want to place a chess piece." shape, and the rules of this chess game are very simple, that is, whoever has five pieces in a row first wins, understand?"

Isn't it just connecting, and talking about playing chess, the young Gu Rugui was very arrogant, he threw the dead branch in his hand to the chessboard, "It's so boring!"

Rong Shiyu shook his head, never got angry because of his rudeness, but leaned over to pick up the dead branch he discarded, and started playing chess with his left and right hands.

One of his pieces is a circle, and the other piece is a fork.

Although Gu Rugui felt disdainful in his heart, he still couldn't help but peek at the direction of the chessboard.

Fortunately, Rong Shiyu's attention was all on the chessboard, and he didn't notice his small movements.

The circle and the chacha will be killed inseparably.

Just when the winner was about to be decided, a sullen female voice rang in his ears, Gu Rugui looked up and saw a beautiful young woman running towards the two of them.

She stopped in front of the two of them, her face was a little annoyed, "Rong Shiyu, why did you sneak out again?"

The chessboard was trampled by the woman's high-heeled shoes, Rong Shiyu was helpless, he scattered two dead branches, and after cleaning the dust off his hands, he held the woman's fingers together, and frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"Rong Shiyu, don't change the subject!" The woman's words were annoyed.

Rong Shiyu smiled softly, "Ah Luo, you guys are making a fuss over a molehill, I'm just overworked, and it's not like I've got some stubborn disease and I'm going to die in a second..."

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Xu Manluo covered his mouth and hurriedly interrupted him, "You will be fine, you will live to your seventies, you will not die!"

The tension in her eyes was undisguised, and Rong Shiyu was stunned for a moment before pulling her hand down, kissing the back of her hand lightly, and explaining: "Don't worry, the ward is stuffy, I'll come out to get some air That's all."

"Then you can tell me in advance next time, okay, you know I just came back and couldn't find you, you were going to die of anxiety!" Xu Manluo's voice was more worried than complaining.

"Okay, okay, next time I go, I will tell Mrs. Rong, what do you think?" Rong Shiyu coaxed her softly, and Xu Manluo turned from worry to joy, and said angrily, "That's just right! By the way , Doctor Zheng is still waiting for your follow-up consultation in the ward, let's go back."

After Rong Shiyu's eyes dimmed almost invisibly, he nodded.

The two left hand in hand, Gu Rugui stared at the chaotic chessboard on the ground for a moment, then picked up the dead branches on the ground, followed his memory, and restored the chessboard to its undamaged appearance.

The circle and fork each hold four sons, which is a tie.

He frowned slightly, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the anxious parents and doctors, his face suddenly became pale.

Gu Rugui was reprimanded by Gu Yunwen for running around this time, and even his father, who is usually busy with work, made a sound.

He has always been afraid of his strict father since he was a child. After this time, he has learned to be good for several days, but for some reason, his mind is full of the pawns that Rong Shiyu played on the floor that ended in a draw.

At noon that day, his mother watched him take a nap in the ward. He closed his eyes, but his mind was struggling with the chess piece, so when the door of the ward was pushed open, he heard it.

The person's footsteps were very light, and then a low female voice sounded, she called her mother "Doctor Gu."

Gu Rugui was not surprised by this, because just like "Mrs. Gu" and "Ms. Gu", there are countless people who call their mother "Doctor Gu".

But the reason why he secretly opened his eyes was that the female voice sounded very familiar, and Gu Yunwen called her "Mrs. Rong".

A few days ago, Gu Rugui heard this title from the man he met by chance. At that time, his words were full of love and affection, but his mother's voice at the moment was somewhat solemn.

They quickly walked outside the ward to talk. He couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation, but he could vaguely hear Xu Manluo's voice choked up, as if she was crying.

Before she had time to think about it, the door of the ward was pushed open by Gu Yunwen. She looked at him who had widened her eyes in astonishment, with guilt on her face, "Sorry, did mom wake you up?"

He shook his head, looked in the direction of the door, and couldn't help being a little curious, "Mom, who is that aunt?"

Gu Yunwen tucked the corner of his quilt, "It's a friend of my mother's. Her husband is seriously ill, and I want to ask my mother to treat him."

Rong Shiyu's lightly smiling face appeared in Gu Rugui's mind, and he inexplicably asked, "Will mom help him heal?"

Gu Yunwen shook his head, "Guier, mom is just a doctor, not a god. There are some diseases that mom can't cure."

Gu Yunwen's education method is different from others. She doesn't want her child to live in an overly illusory world, and she doesn't want to create a tall image for him, something beyond her power. She has never made up some beautiful lies to deceive him.

Xu Manluo begged her to do her best, but she was powerless. Even if she was facing her own son, she still chose to tell the truth.

Gu Rugui grew up in such an environment, so he naturally knew what she meant.

He was silent for a moment before looking at Gu Yunwen, "Mom, I don't want to be hospitalized anymore, I want to go home, I haven't seen my sister for a long time."

Gu Yunwen rubbed his head, pursed his lips and smiled, "Mom has already asked your doctor in charge, and you will be discharged from the hospital in two days, and my sister misses you too, and she's giggling at mom all day long." ' screamed non-stop."

His eyes lit up, thinking of his sister's soft and sultry face, he couldn't help but soften his heart, "Really?"

"Ah."

With Gu Yunwen's affirmation, Gu Rugui slept very peacefully that night.

The next day, he went to the patient's leisure area again, but this time he walked out of the ward openly and aboveboard with his consent.

He went straight to the bench that he sat on a few days ago. The chessboard that Rong Shiyu drew that day had already been trampled flat. Branches, squatting on the ground imitating the appearance of Rong Shiyu that day and began to draw horizontally and vertically on the ground.

After a while, a simple "chessboard" was generated. Compared with Rong Shiyu's straight lines, the chessboard in his hands seemed to be distorted by the vortex, and it was crooked and unsightly.

Gu Rugui frowned, when a pair of shoes appeared in front of him.

Looking up, I saw Rong Shiyu appeared in front of me at some point, he was still wearing a hospital gown, looking down at him at this time.

Gu Rugui felt a little embarrassed by the smile in his dark eyes, and wiped the chessboard away in a panic, "It's not what you think, I'm just bored."

With a smile on the corner of Rong Shiyu's mouth, he raised his hand and broke off a dead branch on the tree generously, and asked him: "I didn't think about anything just now."

Gu Rugui was dumbfounded. He glanced at the chessboard under his hand, which was broken and smashed, "I admit, I have been thinking about that chess game in my mind for the past few days. I don't think that chess game should be played like that. .”

"Oh?" Rong Shiyu was slightly startled.

"The circle should be placed here..." His words stopped, and he turned his face away and said embarrassedly: "You draw a chessboard first!"

Rong Shiyu laughed loudly, but after laughing, he drew a chessboard in a neat manner according to his request.

Gu Rugui had to admit that his chessboard drawing was much better than his own.

He flattened his mouth, and with the dead branch in his hand, he drew a circle on Rong Shiyu's first step of playing chess that day, and drew a cross next to the circle, "You are the circle, I am the fork, we are the same as that day , play a game of chess."

Rong Shiyu glanced at him with great interest and did not move for a long time.

Gu Rugui was a little impatient, raised his head and urged him, "Hurry up!"

Rong Shiyu pursed his lips, moved his fingers slightly, and a circle was formed on the ground.Seeing this, Gu Rugui quickly drew a cross.

Compared to his impatience, Rong Shiyu was obviously much more casual. In the afternoon sunlight, the figures of the two of them, one big and one small, were drawn up, and the shadows of the trees fell mottled.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Gu Rugui exclaimed, "It shouldn't be drawn here!"

Rong Shiyu paused, and looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Rugui moved a space to the right where he was going to drop the ball, drew a circle, then threw the dead branch and looked at him proudly, "Look, as long as you move the penultimate move to the Here, you win!"

Rong Shiyu stared at the chess game on the ground where the winner was already divided, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Child, have you been thinking about it for so many days just to solve this game for me?"

He shook his head arrogantly, "Not many days, I think I thought of it in one day, but I haven't had a chance to come out these few days!"

Rong Shiyu took a deep look at him, then reached out his hand to erase the pieces he had played just now, and used dead branches to turn the chess game into a draw again.

Gu Rugui was a little annoyed by his behavior, "What are you doing?"

Rong Shiyu's expression was a bit obscure: "Child, how old are you?"

"Eight years old."

"I also have a son. He is seven years old and has the same personality as you. He is so strong and refuses to admit defeat, but you are still young, so you don't know that in this world, if you win something, you lose it. Only in this way is the best balance!"

Regarding his words, Gu Rugui subconsciously wanted to refute, but seeing his gloomy expression, suddenly remembered Gu Yunwen saying that he had a serious illness, opened his mouth, but did not say a word after all.

Rong Shiyu sighed, the obscurity in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he returned to his usual indifferent expression, he looked at him and said softly: "Child, I have to go back to the ward, by the way, if you are interested in playing chess, you can play chess tomorrow." Come find me in Ward 2201 in the afternoon, and I'll ask someone to bring the chessboard, and we'll play a real game of chess."

Gu Rugui thought about it and nodded.

Rong Shiyu got up with a smile, he saw him walk to the flower bed not far away, and picked up a potted greenish-yellow potted plant.

"Is this a green radish?" he asked.

"you recognize?"

Gu Rugui nodded, "My mother told me that the hibiscus faces the sun, and the green radish loves the shade. Did you just put it there to bask in the sun?"

Rong Shiyu nodded appreciatively, "Green radish likes shade well, but since it is a plant, it cannot be separated from the protection of the sun. In this season, if you don't take it out to bask in the sun, it will die."

After finishing speaking, he pulled the leaves of the green radish and sighed, "The pot in my hand is green-leaved green radish, normally it should be green, but now it's starting to turn yellow, it seems that the sunlight can no longer give it vitality. "

Rong Shiyu left while talking, Gu Rugui didn't know why he murmured to his back, "Uncle, will you die too?"

His voice was low, but the man in front clearly heard it.

He saw Rong Shiyu's footsteps stagnated for a moment, and then turned to look at him with a smile, "No, at least not when you come to play chess with me tomorrow evening, as if at home, we will see you soon."

Rong Shiyu walked for a long time before Gu Rugui realized that although the two met twice, he never mentioned his name. Why did Rong Shiyu know his name?

In the evening of the next day, just as Gu Rugui was about to sneak out of the ward, his father, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, actually came to see him. The usually busy father stayed for a rare long time that day, and he didn't get up until he pretended to be asleep for a long time before leaving.

At that time, it was already dark, he listened to the sound of his father's footsteps going away with his ears open, and then hurriedly put on his shoes and ran to Rong Shiyu's ward.

Gu Rugui was very anxious. He was a person who kept his promises since he was a child. If he didn't go there in the evening, Rong Shiyu must think that he is a person who does not keep his promises.

For him now, playing chess is not important, what is important is that he has to explain to him why he missed the appointment.

Thinking of this, Gu Rugui's pace unavoidably quickened a bit, and he was relieved when he escaped the nurse and safely pressed the elevator on the 22nd floor.

The 22nd floor was very quiet. According to the order of the hospital wards, 2201 should be the easternmost one, and apart from that one, the remaining few wards were not occupied.

Except for the lights in the corridor, the darkness around him made him frightened for no reason.

Compared with his already very good ward, the ward on the 22nd floor is obviously more advanced.

Gu Rugui quickly walked towards ward 2201, the only one with lights on. The closer he got, he realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be someone in Rong Shiyu's ward, and there was more than one person.

He never expected to come up to see such a scene, the door of the ward was not closed tightly, Rong Shiyu fell to the ground in pain, looking in a certain direction and calling, "Rong Shijie, you bastard, don't do this For her, Ah Luo...I didn't tell you to leave me alone..."

Gu Rugui followed his gaze and covered his mouth in fright. He saw Xu Manluo's clothes were disheveled on the hospital bed, and the man with the same disheveled clothes on his body was lying on top of her shaking his body. Xu Manluo cried so hard that his voice became hoarse. , "Rong Shijie, I can do whatever you want, save him first, okay?"

Regardless of her request, Rong Shijie galloped on her body. Suddenly, he turned his head to look in his direction, and said sharply, "Who?"

What kind of face is that?Eyes that were reddened by love, and a face that was distorted by hatred, at that moment, he only felt extremely horrified!

The blood in Gu Rugui's body seemed to be frozen. If Rong Shiyu's awkward "go" didn't wake him up, he might just watch Rong Shijie walking towards him.

He felt someone chasing him from behind, he ran desperately, ran desperately, the sound behind him stopped and he was still running...

Until it crashed into Gu Yunwen's arms!

"Gui'er, where have you been? Do you know that your father and I are dying of anxiety!"

He looked up and saw Gu Yunwen's anxious face, and wanted to tell her the terrible scene he saw just now, but he didn't have time to say anything, his eyes went dark and the world fell into chaos.

When Gu Rugui woke up from a coma, it was the next day, and the headlines of the newspaper published the report of the young son of the Rong family who died young. He looked at the black and white photo in the newspaper, and that night he had a high fever again.

A week later, he recovered and was released from the hospital.

Before he was discharged from the hospital, he went to the leisure area of ​​the attached courtyard again. On the bench where he and Rong Shiyu were sitting a few days ago, there was a pot of green leaves and green radishes, which had all withered.

He didn't mention what happened that night to the second person, but when he heard the news of Xu Manluo's death later, he put his arms around the one-year-old Shengge and said in a low voice: "Sister, the Rong family in the eastern suburbs, you have to avoid it as far as possible from now on." How far, do you know?"
