20. Chapter 20 Glass Ball
Author: Mountain color becomes empty
After a while, the smile on Jiang Zhou's face faded and he said seriously: "Are you okay? How do you feel now?"
"Okay, that's good."
"Then I'll go find you. Well, don't move there for now. Find a shaded place to rest. I'll be there soon."
About ten minutes later, Jiang Zhou saw a gray-faced Gu Mo on the sidewalk to the right of the school gate.
He sat quietly in the wheelchair, his whole body nestled in it. His knees were covered with a dark thin blanket. The texture was deeply sunk under gravity, and his slender legs were faintly visible. The overwhelming sunlight poured down on him, and he was surrounded by
Floating, dyeing the black hair on his forehead into bright brown, but unable to touch the cold white face.
Seen from a distance, it looks like a glass ball that is pure in color but unwilling to refract light.
Slender willow branches occasionally blew past him, and Jiang Zhou couldn't tell for a moment who was more fragile, the slender willow tree or him.
He walked over and held the umbrella over Gu Mo's head.
Gu Mo seemed very happy to see him, his eyes were shining like stars, "Brother Xiao Jiang, you are here."
Jiang Zhou nodded and bent down to check his legs, but the moment his hands were about to touch the thin blanket, the wheelchair moved back a little.
"I don't feel that much pain now. Let's wait until the doctor at the hospital sees me." Gu Mo said.
Jiang Zhou's hand paused in the air, he nodded, stood up, and began to ask about the details of his leg injury.
Gu Mo regained his smile and said that his right leg hurt for half the night last night, but it was still within the tolerance range. The condition had eased a bit this morning, but the calf bone still ached slightly, and he didn't know what was going on.
Jiang Zhou called a taxi, helped the person into the back seat, and then folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk.
On the car.
Just when Jiang Zhou was about to send a message to Su Deng about this, Gu Mo's voice came faintly from the side.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Jiang. My roommates have all gone out to compete. Uncle Chen, who is responsible for taking care of me at home, happens to have something to do. It's really hard for me to move alone. Fortunately, you are here."
Jiang Zhou moved the blanket on his legs higher and said you're welcome.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Gu Mo actually grabbed his hand. The sudden coldness made Jiang Zhou tremble, and the strong strangeness rising in his heart made him immediately withdraw his hand.
Gu Mo was still smiling, and the sound as clear as jade rings colliding was mixed with a hint of pity, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Jiang, I don't know how long it will take to go to the hospital."
"It doesn't matter, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon." Jiang Zhou said.
In fact, there are classes, but because of project research, I have already canceled the invitation, so I can go or not.
"I still want to say thank you. If it weren't for me, you could have used your spare time in the afternoon to find my sister."
Jiang Zhou turned off the phone screen and said again that he was welcome. He and Su Deng were not in a hurry.
Gu Mo sighed, leaning on the back seat with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes. His face was as pale as the leaves in a lake that had just been destroyed by the wind.
"Even if Brother Xiao Jiang doesn't say it, I know that the research tasks are heavy these days. You haven't seen each other for a long time. Now my legs are not up to par and I am causing trouble for you."
"My sister doesn't like me to begin with. If she knew that I asked you to take me to the hospital, I'm afraid she would blame me even more."
Speaking of this, it was impossible for Jiang Zhou not to hear the loneliness inside, as well as the underlying meaning.
What's more, he knew a little bit about the relationship between Su Deng and Gu Mo.
In the second year of junior high school, what he saw in the studio on the second floor of the Su family - the girl was riding on the boy with a blushing face, squeezing his neck hard with her thin fingers, and her eyes were filled with astonishing hatred...
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Jiang Zhou promised Gu Mo not to tell Su Deng about this, but he still said:
"Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you. Su Deng is grown up now. If you have more contact with her, you will find that she is slowly changing."
Gu Mo opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I also think my sister is very kind and cute, but our family's situation is quite special. I can only try my best to help my sister solve her problems, but she has a persistent personality. How do you think about me?
But it’s not something I can control.”
He looked at Jiang Zhou and said, "But, Brother Jiang, you don't have to worry. No matter what, she and I are relatives after all. She is my sister, and I am her only brother."
These words were tender words from a younger brother to care for his older sister, but when Jiang Zhou heard them, he felt that some of the words were too strange, even...
Somewhat harsh.
He didn't answer the call again.
The two arrived at the hospital and entered the door. Gu Mocai suddenly mentioned that he forgot to make an appointment in advance.
Looking at the crowded registration hall, Jiang Zhou looked at the time. It was only after one o'clock, and he should be able to see the doctor who was on duty in the morning and afternoon.
So he took the certificate and medical records given by Gu Mo, and after placing him properly, he went to queue up to register.
This is the First Affiliated Hospital of University B Medical College, a top-ranked tertiary hospital in the country. Most of the people who come here to see a doctor are in their mid-teens, and their skin has been sunburned and tanned, and their eyes are full of waiting.
Confusion and panic.
Jiang Zhou, a tall man, stood inside, standing out from the crowd, and followed the team forward little by little.
He has been in good health since childhood and rarely visits the hospital.
Su Deng, on the other hand, is frail and sick, has a bad gastrointestinal condition, and easily gets headaches when she catches a cold. Even with the presence of a family doctor, she is still a frequent visitor to the hospital.
When he didn't need to make up lessons, Jiang Zhou would secretly buy candies on the road to see her. When he came in, the girl who was still on an IV would always run barefoot from the bed, throw her little face into his arms, and cry.
She had runny nose and burst into tears, saying how terrible the hospital was and begging him to take her home.
The hospital is a place that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones, she always said.
At this moment, the tip of Jiang Zhou's nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Looking around, he could see thin patients being supported everywhere. Only then did he truly understand the fear in her heart at that time.
After registering and sending a missing message to Su Deng, Jiang Zhou pushed Gu Mo to the waiting room.
He vaguely remembered that a friend of his father worked here, and he seemed to be a section chief, but he didn't want to go through the back door, and even rejected this kind of behavior, so he and Gu Mo began a long wait.
Nearly two and a half hours later, the female voice on the radio called their number.
Jiang Zhou pushed people in and sent the CT scan taken while waiting to the doctor.
But after many twists and turns, the thin-haired doctor adjusted his glasses and confirmed the success of Gu Mo's tibia and fibula reduction surgery a month ago, but believed that the CT scan showed that the leg was healing well.
