Nurse Xiao Guo walked out with a smile, then suddenly turned back at the door and said, " Ye Nuannuan, you have a visitor."
I looked up and saw Gu Zhongming.
Nurse Xiao Guo wisely closed the door.
Gu Zhongming stared at me for a long time, making me feel uneasy.
"What do you want?"
Gu Zhongming remained silent.
"If there's nothing, you can leave."
He still didn't say anything, just kept staring at me.
I rolled my eyes and prepared to go out and ask Nurse Xiao Guo to kick him out.
Suddenly, Gu Zhongming spoke up, " Ye Nuannuan, are you really sick?"
"What do you mean?"
"You've lied to me before," Gu Zhongming sneered, "maybe this time you're just trying to trick me again to get more money from me."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Zhongming was taken aback for a moment.
"Gu Zhongming, just get lost; I don't want to see you."
"You..."
"Get out quickly; I find you annoying."
Gu Zhongming took a deep breath and said, "Nuan Nuan, let's talk properly."
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
Gu Zhongming tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Do you really have to be like this?"
"What do you mean by 'like this'?" I glared at him. "Just leave; I don't want to see you."
Gu Zhongming hesitated but eventually left.
During my time in the hospital, everything was fine except for occasional pain.
Later on, I established a regular routine every day.
I received treatment during the day and chatted with Nurse Xiao Guo at night.
As the Lunar New Year approached, the weather grew colder, and Nurse Xiao Guo often reminded me to dress warmly and not catch a cold.
I obediently wrapped myself tightly in my down jacket and took a stroll in the hospital, only to run into Gu Zhongming.
"You... why are you here again?"
Gu Zhongming looked haggard, lacking his usual vigor, and he hadn't even shaved.
" Ye Nuannuan, are you really sick? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Why should I tell you? We’re divorced."
"You..." Gu Zhongming seemed to want to get angry but held it back. "What’s wrong with you?"
"I'm dying."
Gu Zhongming froze for a moment and quickly walked toward me, wanting to embrace me.
I took a step back. "What are you doing?"
"Nuan Nuan..." Gu Zhongming's voice trembled.
"Just go away; I don't want to see you."
Gu Zhongming took a deep breath. "I'm not leaving."
"You!"
"Nuan Nuan, please let me stay with you, okay?"
I panicked, unsure how to respond to him.
Gu Zhongming held my hand. "Nuan Nuan, let me be with you, please?"
I pulled my hand away, feeling flustered. "Do whatever you want."
After saying that, I turned and left.
At night, I tossed and turned unable to sleep, so I decided to go for a walk.
As I passed by the ward door, I noticed Gu Zhongming sitting on a bench, seemingly waiting for me.
I spoke to Gu Zhongming without courtesy: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Zhongming opened his eyes, saw me, and quickly stood up. "Nuan Nuan..."
"What do you want?"
I turned to leave, ignoring Gu Zhongming calling out to me from behind.
While watching a TV show with Nurse Xiao Guo, she suddenly brought up Gu Zhongming.
"This afternoon, I saw a man standing at the door of your ward; he looked like your boyfriend."
"Don't pay attention to him."
"Did you two have a fight?"
"No," I smiled, "we've been divorced for a long time; he's just bored."
"Ah?" Nurse Xiao Guo said in surprise, "Then why is he still looking for you?"
"I don't know, just ignore him; he'll leave in a couple of days."
"But..." Nurse Xiao Guo hesitated.
"What is it?"
"He came to see the head nurse this morning and said he wanted to look at your medical records. He even claimed to be your husband."
I replied, "…He's crazy."
"Ah?"
"I divorced him a long time ago; he must think I'm trying to extort money from him."
"…I see."
"Yeah, just ignore him."
"Okay."
Just as Nurse Xiao Guo and I were chatting happily, Gu Zhongming suddenly walked in.
"Who’s crazy?"
I coldly replied, "What do you want?"
"I…" Gu Zhongming hesitated, "I just came to see you."
"I'm fine now; you can leave."
Gu Zhongming stood there, motionless.
I rolled my eyes, "You can come or go as you please."
"Nuannuan…" Gu Zhongming stepped closer to me.
"Forget it, let's talk."
