Chapter 47 The heart stops beating
In just two months, a lot has happened.
She jumped into the sea and had a funeral, but she didn't die. Now not only is he back, but he also has very... good friends by his side.
He Zhihuai took a deep breath, maybe it was a good thing.
Before she was always alone.
Whether at home or at school, she always seemed lonely.
In the past, he had spotted her hiding from the crowd more than once, silently licking her wounds.
Now, she finally has friends by her side.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But why can't he be happy?
He stood under the tree and stared for a long time, almost suffocating. It was as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in the chest. With every breath, sea water continued to pour into the cotton, weighing heavily on my heart, making me breathless.
Not far away, the young man said something unknown, which made her smile. "Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner."
The shadows on the ground were in pairs, and their figures gradually faded away.
His body wanted to catch up uncontrollably, but his feet had already taken a step, but his brain stopped him in time.
He was hiding in the shade of a tree, like a thief spying on other people's happiness.
It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared from sight that he suddenly woke up from a dream and understood why he was unhappy.
Of course he wished her well.
I hope she is happy, I hope she is bright, I hope she can be herself...
I also hope that he can be the one who stands by her side and shares her joys and sorrows with her.
The restaurant became quiet and you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Miao raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Brother?"
What's going on? Why is there suddenly no sound?
He Zhihuai grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently, not too hard. He raised his head, the smile in his eyes was the same as usual.
He was obviously smiling, but Gu Miaoxin still fell suddenly, as if he suddenly stepped on the stairs.
Because she noticed that the blackening value on He Zhihuai's head increased by 10...
Almost in the blink of an eye, it rose up without warning.
Although his initial blackening value is not as high as other male protagonists, it has always been within a safe and controllable range.
But I can’t stand him going up ten points at once!
The other male protagonists are obviously added bit by bit!
She finally understood why He Zhihuai's blackening value was not as high as expected.
He seems to decrease by 10 every time.
If this is the case... then He Zhihuai is definitely not as safe as she thinks!
Damn it, you were careless!
Gu Miao didn't understand. Did she say something wrong again?
"Ahem." After clearing her throat, she withdrew her hand and picked up the chopsticks again, "I have no words to eat or sleep, come on, come on, brother, let's eat."
Gu Miao put a large piece of brown sugar steamed bun into her mouth while diligently picking up food for him.
If you can't overcome difficulties, overcome yourself.
Just choke yourself to death.
She shouldn't mention it!
Afraid that she would choke, He Zhihuai served her soup and said, "Eat slowly."
"There are no outsiders around, you can talk about whatever you want."
“There aren’t that many rules.”
His tone was as gentle as ever, like a clear spring in the mountains.
How could Gu Miao dare?
I'm afraid that if I say something carelessly, I'll get offended again.
He Zhihuai was keenly aware that the little snail in front of him mustered up the courage to touch him, but now it was frightened by his sudden approach and retracted into its shell. It seemed that he was aware of the danger and was unwilling to come out no matter how coaxed he was.
In desperation, He Zhihuai had no choice but to expand on the topic she just talked about, trying to trick her into coming out of her shell again.
"Have you been in Beijing during this time? Or are you with friends?"
Gu Miao slowly realized that the "this period of time" he mentioned referred to the two months when she disappeared.
"I don't know where I went. It seemed like a place far, far away, and I was rescued by a stranger."
After a long time, he asked in an obscure tone: "Have you checked your body? Are you feeling...anything wrong?"
After a person drowns, due to lack of oxygen and water pressure, the blood supply to the heart and brain is insufficient, and the heartbeat and blood pressure will begin to drop, eventually leading to shock.
Over the past two months, he has been thinking about it inadvertently. When underwater, her first reaction would be to struggle helplessly. This is human instinct.
Then slowly, the hand lowered slowly, and the beating heart stopped beating...
Every time he thought about this, he would feel physically uncomfortable.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
So much so that there was no way to get to the operating table at all.
He was forced to rest for a while, but found that he couldn't calm down and be alone.
Gu Miao didn't know what he was thinking. She said after careful consideration: "It's not a big problem, but it's probably the sequelae of drowning. It seems that my resistance is not as good as before. I've been getting sick easily lately."
He Zhihuai looked straight and immediately asked her about her specific symptoms.
He was a professional, and Gu Miao didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of not being able to grasp the standards.
If it was too serious, his hospital was not far next door, and he could just carry her there and do a full body examination right away.
It was too easy to say, and it would not achieve the effect she wanted.
The whole process was full of trepidation.
She would carefully observe He Zhihuai's expression every time she spoke, and then use the depth of his frown to save her broken self.
He Zhihuai said he wanted to take her to the hospital for a physical examination, but she refused, "I'm afraid...can I not go? I feel dizzy when I hear the word hospital."
"But don't go to the hospital..."
Without saying anything, Gu Miao tilted her head and bumped into his arm, blackmailing him on the spot.
She rubbed his arm and ouched several times.
He Zhihuai couldn't help laughing, held her shoulder and patted her gently, "Okay, okay, then I won't go. But you have to take good care of your body and come here to eat on time every day."
"...Okay." Anyway, He Zhihuai's craftsmanship is pretty good, so it's not a loss.
"Whenever you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me as soon as possible. Okay?"
He had discussed it carefully with her, making it difficult not to agree.
"I need to finish these today." He picked up vegetables and cracked the crab meat for her.
Gu Miao liked to see his serious look the most, so she didn't shy away from it, raised her chin and looked at him openly.
"Brother, you seem to be operating on a crab."
There are eight pieces of crab next to him, and the tools are changed back and forth. It really feels like being on the operating table.
He Zhihuai really took off a piece of something and showed it to her, "This is its heart. Crab blood usually stays in the heart of the crab. It may contain some bad substances. In addition, it is cold in nature and will cause gastrointestinal discomfort after eating it."
"..." Gu Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked serious as if he was working. "This crab did not die in vain."
After dinner, Gu Miao was forced to rest on the sofa and watched him busy in the restaurant alone.
He was really nice to her.
Because of this, she is even more curious about one thing——
"Second brother."
She called him from behind, her voice so soft that it seemed like she was coming from a very, very far away place.
"I have a question I have always wanted to know the answer to... That day on the boat, when I was about to jump into the sea, why didn't you show up."
