Chapter 78：

After helping Gu Nanzhi to scrub, it was almost ten o'clock. Although she repeatedly emphasized that she was not sleepy at all, she still lay down under the blanket under Lin Zheng's strong method.

The May nights are still cool.

Lin Zheng turned off the light, opened the window, and lay on the **** chair by the window, staring at the night sky in a daze.

Hearing the sound of Gu Nanzhi turning over, Lin Zheng turned his head, looked at her vague outline and said, "Can't sleep?"

Gu Nanzhi looked at her in the dark, "No, I'm trying to stay awake."

"Huh?" Lin Zheng hugged the quilt in front of her tightly, thinking that she should know the reason why she didn't sleep, "It's still a long time before twelve o'clock."

"Soon, only two hours." Although there was no surprise about the birthday event, Gu Nanzhi's expectation was enough to wait until he knew it was there but couldn't see it.

"Zheng'er, how about now? The sense of ceremony is not that important." Gu Nanzhi half propped up his body, lying on the bedside to discuss with Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng tucked her chin into the quilt and turned over without looking at her, at the same time she refused, "No."

Gu Nanzhi looked at her determined back, and lay back helplessly.

Gu Nanzhi felt sleepy gradually because of the tranquility of the night and the presence of familiar people, coupled with the sedative effect of the medicine.

In a daze, she felt her arms being gently pulled away, followed by a soft and warm body in her arms.

Gu Nanzhi hugged Lin Zheng subconsciously, and rubbed her chin against Lin Zheng's head, "Why did you run up?" In the quiet air, her rustling voice was very textured.

Lin Zheng huddled in Gu Nanzhi's arms, picking the buttons of her hospital gown with her fingers, very polite, just like picking her belt when she was sleepy and sleepy in school.

When Gu Nanzhi thought that this action was absolutely safe, Lin Zheng suddenly changed his "strategy" and sneaked in, and then threw her a reason without any credibility, "Cold."

Gu Nanzhi was speechless for a while, so, should she refuse or acquiesce to Lin Zheng's provocative behavior? Rejected, the little girl was cold, and acquiesced... I don't know where her crooked thoughts will go.

This is a ward.

Taking advantage of Gu Nanzhi's dilemma, Lin Zheng's subordinates went too far, but they just touched and hugged her. Now it's her turn to be real, and she is still a little bit reluctant.

Lin Zheng's thoughts aroused by the darkness came and went quickly, but it was Gu Nanzhi who was made dry by her, and a thin layer of sweat quickly covered his body that had been wiped clean.

"On purpose?" Gu Nanzhi asked helplessly.

Lin Zheng arched her neck, and the breath on her skin was much hotter than usual, "No." She said, "It's deceitful not to want to do it when I'm with you, but you're still sick now Well, I can't be such a beast."

"Then why did you start with this?" It's more extreme than a beast to start without ending.

Lin Zheng now took advantage of the darkness and no one saw him, so his face became thicker, "You are not strong enough, why blame me?"

"Only me?" Gu Nanzhi was annoyed by the unreasonable little girl, moved his hand behind her to the front, pinched a small hard spot on his chest and said, "Then what is this?"

Lin Zheng shook and hugged her even tighter, "Normal physiological reaction."

Well, I can hold back like this, she really underestimated her before.

Gu Nanzhi withdrew his hand, clasped it behind Lin Zheng again, and pressed her into his arms, "When you go back, you have to pay me back."

Lin Zheng pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."

A small fire burned the two of them, it was not enthusiastic, and when it was extinguished, it brought tiredness.

Soon, Gu Nanzhi's long breathing became lighter and more regular.

Lin Zheng, who was supposed to fall asleep with her, opened her eyes quietly, breathing her breath from a very close distance.

Confirming that Gu Nanzhi would not wake up again, Lin Zheng gently removed her hand, climbed out of bed, and tiptoed out of the ward.

The door lock fell with a slight sound.

Inside the door, Gu Nanzhi looked at the bright moonlight outside the window and smiled softly.

——

"Sister! Sister!" Lin Zheng ran to the nurse's station in a hurry, lay down on the medical guidance table and looked in, "Where's my cake?"

The nurse on duty unhurriedly took out a box from the cabinet below, put it on the countertop and said, "I thought you wouldn't come to get it."

Lin Zheng picked it up preciously, and retorted: "How is that possible." She found this after running through several stores while shopping for food.

The nurse didn't want to be stimulated, so she waved her hand and pushed people away, "Hurry up."

Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "Thank you sister, you look really good today." After teasing her, she ran away, and the nurse thought she was a little girl, otherwise she would be taken away by security immediately.

When Lin Zheng went back to the ward, Gu Nanzhi was still 'asleep'.

She took off her shoes at the door, barefooted, quietly went to the bed and squatted down, watching Gu Nanzhi for a long time.

She didn't know what she could see when she was in the dark, so she just had fun watching herself.

Afraid of waking up Gu Nanzhi by laughing out loud, Lin Zheng retracted his head resting on the bed, and moved towards the window with his back bent.

With her back facing the direction of the hospital bed, she couldn't see how pretty Gu Nanzhi's curved eyebrows were.

——

At twelve o'clock sharp, Gu Nanzhi was 'woke up' by Lin Zheng.

She pushed Gu Nanzhi's shoulder so that she faced the window.

There was now a stool beside the window where the accompanying chair was originally placed, and there was a cake on the stool, and a lit candle was inserted.

The faint candlelight swayed gently in the wind.

Lin Zheng walked over quickly, pushed the stool to Gu Nanzhi little by little, looked into her eyes illuminated by the candlelight and said, "Zhizhi, happy birthday."

Gu Nanzhi's gaze was always focused on Lin Zheng's face. He couldn't get enough of it before, and now he couldn't move his eyes away even more. "Can I make a wish?" she asked.

Lin Zheng nodded quickly, "Of course, the cake is not fake."

"Okay." Gu Nanzhi didn't put his palms together, didn't close his eyes, just looked at Lin Zheng like that, and said very slowly, "I have a girl in my life, I hope she is healthy and happy."

Lin Zheng didn't expect Gu Nanzhi to make this wish, so he sat down on the ground in a daze, looked up at her, "Once a year, it's a waste."

Gu Nanzhi leaned over, opened his lips slightly, and blew out the candle.

The moment the light dimmed, she said again, "It's only once a year that I leave all the important things for this time." The straightforward tone ignited the fire in Lin Zheng's heart, "Then I'll give you another chance, is there any more? "

"Let me think about it." Gu Nanzhi pretended to think for a while, then said with a smile, "I want her to read to me something in my heart, and don't hear it from others."

"Well, yes." Who can't tell a 'story', "It's over?"

"Wanting those things on your mind is something unhappy."

"Where is someone looking for abuse?" Lin Zheng laughed sorely, she knew her eyes must be red, fortunately, Gu Nanzhi couldn't see it, but she could feel Lin Zheng's unnatural expression, "No Looking for abuse, I want to know more."

"Okay." Lin Zheng pulled her hand down and touched the tablet from the accompanying bed.

There is a sent email in the lit screen.

Email subject: To my 18-year-old self

Sender: Lin Zheng

Recipient: Gu Nanzhi

"This is what I wrote to you on the day I became an adult." That year's birthday was the most thrilling day in Lin Zheng's life. In the end, there is no danger. Across the glass wall of the observation room, Feng Haian helped Lin Zheng celebrate a birthday without candles in the corridor.

"I greedily made two wishes on my birthday that year. The first one is that my father will accompany me more. The second one." Lin Zheng raised her head, and the flat cold light from bottom to top illuminated her eyes extraordinarily Bright, "I saw you in my dream."

Feeling pain in his heart for a moment, Gu Nanzhi pulled Lin Zheng up and pulled her to his side, letting her lean on his shoulder instead of a vain dream, "Zheng'er..."

"Hush." ​​Lin Zheng interrupted softly, "Don't interfere with my brewing emotions."

"Although I am greedy, I seem to be very lucky. Both of my wishes that day came true." Lin Jie stayed with her until the winter of her sophomore year before leaving reluctantly. I saw you when I turned around, but that dream was too short, and my mother woke me up before I could see clearly."

Gu Nanzhi hugged Lin Zheng tightly, and there were some words on his lips, but he was tightly blocked by his heartache, and he couldn't say anything.

Lin Zheng didn't want to make Gu Nanzhi feel uncomfortable with these things, so she let Gu Nanzhi sit under the quilt, squeezed beside her, and leaned into her warm arms, talking about what was on her mind when she was 18 years old.

In fact, there are only three sentences in total.

Lin Zheng, at the age of 18, you still like her.

What about her?

Does she still can't like you?

"You said, if I had sent you this email, what would have happened?" Lin Zheng asked.

Before, she didn't even have the courage to open these emails.

Now, it is extremely easy to say, as if I was just looking back on a 'secret love' that I felt as a bystander.

Gu Nanzhi didn't speak, she took the mobile phone from the pillow, and gave her the reply she wanted under Lin Zheng's gaze, [She quietly recalled you at night alone, during the peeps from thousands of miles away, Secretly fell in love with you. 】

This belated confession is not as good as the fanfare of "lighting the wax" downstairs in the dormitory, and there is no overt and secret intrigue to try, it just "walked" into Lin Zheng's mailbox in such a grand manner, together with her rippling heart Float into the sky.

——

The next day, Gu Nanzhi was approved to be discharged from the hospital.

Qin Youheng came to pick them up and took them to a new place to stay. The previous house in the resort had already expired.

Lin Zheng was grateful to Qin Youheng, but was unable to communicate with him calmly for the time being, but it was not polite for her and Gu Nanzhi to sit in the back seat.

So, Lin Zheng pulled Gu Nanzhi secretly, and drove her to the co-driver with soft and hard tactics, while he sat in the back alone, looked left and right, finally stared at Gu Nanzhi, and sent her a message Wechat, [Zhizhi, we still have four days to go home, would you like to visit the city where I have lived for the past few years? I'll take you. 】

Gu Nanzhi replied quickly, 【Think. 】

Lin Zheng, [Then I'll book tickets right away and leave today! 】

Gu Nanzhi, [OK. 】【Use my account to bind a bank card. 】

Before Lin Zheng refused, Gu Nanzhi sent the account number.

She is still a student now, and every penny she can save is a penny.

Lin Zheng happily entered it, and asked her by the way, [Do you want to give me the bank card password as well? I'm not very good at financial management, but I can learn. 】

It was originally just a joke, but Gu Nanzhi took it seriously, and replied concisely, 【Your birthday. 】

Lin Zheng stopped her hand inquiring about the air ticket, and a smile quickly climbed to the corner of her lips.

After checking the ticket, Lin Zheng clicked into the history to confirm.

This is the instinct of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which made her 18-year-old dream come true.

Mr. Gu Nanzhi's ticketing is all done by assistants. The travel records in her personal account are all private itineraries, which are very simple. Almost all the round-trip records in the past five years are in the city where Lin Zheng is.

It's not intensive, but as long as it is a "big event" that Lin Zheng can think of, she will be there, including her 18th birthday.

Lin Zheng exited the ticket-buying app, re-entered WeChat, and sent a WeChat message to Gu Nanzhi, [Where were you on the night of my 18th birthday? 】

The other party is typing...

【at your side. 】
