The liquid in the bottle slowly dripped down, and time quietly flowed. After one bottle was filled and another was replaced, Old Gao's spirits were much better than before.
Not long after, my phone rang. It was Ding Ge. She came over with Lin Ya and Du Ling. I went down to pick them up. When I saw Old Gao, the three of them also asked about Old Gao's situation.
"Nothing, nothing." Old Gao smiled and replied, "Why are you all here? All of a sudden, there were so many people that I felt like I was seriously ill."
"Brother gaoyuan, don't talk nonsense." Du Ling gave Old Gao a reproachful look and said, "We don't trust you. You vomited so badly just now. Your face is very white and there is no blood color. But it scared me."
Old Gao smiled and said apologetically, "Hey, I'm sorry, Xiaoling. I was so upset that I threw up all over the floor and you had to clean it up."
Du Ling said nonchalantly, "What's the matter?"
Ding Ge also said, "Just take care of yourself. It's all because you worry too much and are too tired that you fall ill."
Lin Ya also said, "Yes, you were the most careless person in the past. You don't care about the details. You think how cool you were when you threw away the shopkeeper when you opened the pond!"
Old Gao said unconvinced, "I was also very responsible at that time, okay?"
Lin Ya continued, "Can it be compared to being a hands-on person now?"
Now Old Gao had nothing to say.
I couldn't help but think about the old Old Gao. Indeed, in comparison, he really improved a lot. When he was in the pond, although he was not a shopkeeper, but when old meng was there, Old Gao really didn't have to worry about it. Now, Old Gao paid more to the restaurant than Hu Zi and I did.
As we chatted, everyone shifted the topic to the girl Old Gao liked, but no matter how we asked, Old Gao remained mysterious, so until now, I only knew that she was a neighbor of Old Gao, a few years younger than Old Gao, and the rest of the information was unknown.
We were all talking and it was very lively. Plus Hu Zi and I, the five of us came to see Old Gao together and even attracted some attention because of the laughter. We had to keep our voices down. The hospital was a quiet place, or should we not disturb others?
After a while, Hu Zi's phone rang, and no one knew who was calling him. After hanging up, Hu Zi said, "You're all here, so I'll go back first."
Old Gao said, "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."
Hu Zi stood up, and I stood up with him. I said to Hu Zi, "I'll see you off."
Hu Zi glanced at me and knew I had something to say to him. He didn't refuse either. We walked out the door together.
When I got to the parking lot, Hu Zi lit up a cigarette. I looked at Hu Zi, who was feeling a little emotional, and asked, "What's wrong?"
When I mentioned the girl that Old Gao liked, I caught the light in Hu Zi's eyes. I thought that seeing Old Gao have a girl she liked, Hu Zi might feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, they had girlfriends around them at that time, and then they suffered emotional setbacks together. After all the pain and great injury, the two of them would always have the same feeling of sympathy when they were together, which was also considered a kind of companionship. Therefore, when Hu Zi saw that Old Gao could fall in love with a girl again, his heart became complicated when there was no love in the world.
Sure enough, I know Hu Zi very well, and my guess is very close. Hu Zi took a deep puff of his cigarette and said with mixed emotions, "I didn't expect Old Gao to have someone he likes so soon."
"Fast?"
The restaurant has been open for almost a year, and it's been almost a year since Old Gao and Wang Mengmeng started.
What about Hu Zi and Li Xiaowei? It's been more than a year.
But after the same emotional trauma, Old Gao was able to walk out of the past and fall in love with a girl again. Hu Zi, however, distorted the whole concept of love, completely sealed herself in the emotional aspect, and also hurt the two girls, xiao yi and Xiaolian.
Before, I never dared to mention these things, but today, seeing Old Gao sick, I really felt that I shouldn't ignore some things. I can't neglect my concern for my brothers, not only for their health, but also for their mental health, and even for their feelings.
So, when I talk about the girl that Old Gao likes, I also hope to take this opportunity to say a few words to Hu Zi and correct his twisted love view.
I looked at Hu Zi and said, "Hu Zi, you've been driving with li xiaowei for almost a year. Honestly, Li Xiaowei is not worth it for you to be like this. She is not worth it for you to be sad and miserable. She is not worth it for you to be trapped in the abyss of love."
Although I would pity Li Xiaowei and lend her money, I would never forgive her for betraying Hu Zi. So when Hu Zi said those words to Li Xiaowei again, I didn't want them to be together.
Hu Zi was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "After all these years of love, can you really just forget? Did you forget Ding Ge for a day?"
I was stunned, Ding Ge? Indeed, after we broke up, I never forgot her for a day. Even if I hid her in the deepest part of my heart, she would still easily appear in my mind.
Hu Zi was right. Feelings are really something that loves deeply and hurts even more.
I couldn't help but wonder, what happened to Li Xiaowei now? She forgave Li Dong and walked with him again. Now that the three of them had become a small family, they should be living a happy life, right?
Thinking of this made me a little unhappy, why in this love, the person who was hurt had a good life, but the person who was hurt was still in pain?
But I still had to persuade Hu Zi, and I continued, "No matter what, you shouldn't be the scum of a relationship. I don't want you to degenerate like this. He's not the Hu Zi I used to know. Do you know? You're like Old Gao right now. You're sick, but he's a physical illness, and you're a mental illness. You should heal him, heal him, not stare at that scar, and remember the day it became a wound."
Hu Zi smiled bitterly. He lowered his head slightly. I couldn't see his expression clearly. The cigarette in his hand was burning quietly. After taking another deep breath, Hu Zi seemed to have gained some strength. He said slowly, "Yes, I'm sick. But can this disease be cured? It's not like the fever and cold that Old Gao had. Doctors can just prescribe the right medicine, and even cancer can be treated. But what about this disease? What do you think? Take what medicine?"
Hu Zi's question, I don't know how to answer it. If Ding Ge and I still don't get back together, maybe I'm still sick. I don't know how Old Gao got out of his last relationship. Maybe Hu Zi should ask him.
I said to him, "Ask Old Gao how he cured himself."
Hu Zi smiled again and shook his head, "We are different. Xing Yun, how long did Old Gao talk to wang mengmeng? All in all, they were only together for a few months. Old Gao thought he loved Wang Mengmeng very much, but maybe he didn't love her too much. Even if he eloped with Wang Mengmeng, it might just be the pressure on his family that made him want to fight back."
Perhaps only he knew how much Old Gao loved king Mengmeng, but this was not the reason why Hu Zi chose to fall.
"But you should try walking out instead of locking yourself up."
"Xing Yun." Hu Zi sighed and said, "You don't have to persuade me anymore. I know you mean well, but is it useful to persuade me? There was no use at all. It was a matter of feelings that no one else could help. Just like when we took care of you, we could only take off your shoes when you were drunk and carry you to bed, but we couldn't make you forget Ding Ge, could we? It's the same today."
Looking at Hu Zi with deep eyes, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He narrowed his eyes again, looked up at the sky, and then looked into the distance, perhaps not in the distance, but just looking straight ahead. The scene in front of him had become a blur.
He took another familiar puff, but did not let it out. Instead, he inhaled it directly into his lungs. This was the most harmful method of smoking, but Hu Zi seemed to be relieved from it. It was as if this was the only way to prevent his heart from being too depressed, so that his pain could be eased a little.
"Xing Yun, I'm like a rusty piece of iron, completely corroded from the inside out, so even if President yu's cancer can be cured, I don't think I can cure it myself."
I gritted my teeth and some emotions rolled up in my chest. I glared at Hu Zi and asked, "Do you like yourself like this? Do you know what you have become? Don't you want to change in the past? You can stop doing that, you know?"
Why would the difference be so great if they were also injured?
Hu Zi looked pensive, but after the meeting, he seemed to have no answer and his eyes became confused. He said, "I don't know. I don't know if I like it, but I don't think it's important. I can't choose."
"You can choose!"
I can't! "Hu Zi's voice suddenly grew louder, but then his breath relaxed again. He said with a pained look," I can't. Do you remember Xing Yun? The boss before I resigned, his third year student, Li Xiaowei's classmate, Xiao Wei envied her very much and felt that she was living a good life and was very beautiful. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. However, that was just a third party. Even if she had a good material life, wouldn't she still be a third party? Right?"
Just when I didn't know why Hu Zi mentioned it, Hu Zi said, "I got the girl." When he said this, he was expressionless and indifferent, as if he were just talking about what I had for lunch.
The corners of Hu Zi's mouth were slightly tilted as he continued, "It's very easy. You can easily get into bed with a little money."
Listening to Hu Zi's words, looking at Hu Zi's expression, looking at him as a whole, at this moment I couldn't see Hu Zi clearly, feeling that he was so strange, which made me feel a little sad and sad, and his words made me not know what to say.
"Why?" When Hu Zi left the cigarette on the ground, I finally asked.
Hu Zi paused, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he replied indifferently, "I don't know."
"Okay, let's go. We'll talk next time."
With that, Hu Zi unlocked the car and drove away in Yu Xinghui's car. As I watched him leave, I didn't move and couldn't feel anything.
