Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Have you ever experienced premature love?
The appointment at the hospital is at 7pm. After arriving home, Lu Xun took a shower first. When he came out of the bathroom, Gu Chen had already put on his invisibility cloak and was sitting on a chair in the living room waiting for him.
Two calves that looked like lotus roots were hanging in the air, swaying back and forth. Seeing Lu Xun coming out, Gu Chen jumped to the ground.
Lu Xun squatted down and looked at the ink stain on Gu Chen's shirt that was made in the afternoon: "Do you want to change your clothes too?"
Since Gu Chen came here, he has been wearing the DK set that came with the factory settings. The body structure of dolls is different from that of humans. They will not emit any body odor due to not taking a bath. Although they can feel cold and hot, they will not leave any smell on their bodies even if they sweat. So generally speaking, when you take a shower and change clothes, it's either because your body is stained by outside dirt, or it's purely a personal preference.
Although Xu Lian couldn't see him, it was indeed uncomfortable to wear clothes with ink stains all the time. Moreover, the marks left on clothes for a long time are difficult to wash off.
Gu Chen: "I'll go borrow one from Zhengshu."
Gu Chen is not very keen on dressing up, and he has not even thought of buying baby clothes online for himself. As for the clothes from Zhengxu, Gu Chen went to his room last time and it seemed that he could open a baby clothes counter in the mall.
"He just took Dili and the others to the night market." A faint voice sounded from the side.
Mathematics was holding a mini coffee cup, with some dark circles under her eyes, and her waterfall-like blonde hair was still beautiful, but a little messy.
Gu Chen suddenly remembered that Zhengshu seemed to have talked to him about this yesterday and asked him if he wanted to go together, but he was not in the mood at the time and refused.
Lu Xun looked at Mathematics: "Is your paper not going well recently?"
Mathematics sighed softly: "Big bottleneck." After saying that, he was about to refill his coffee with a bitter look, but suddenly he stopped.
She looked at Lu Xun, then at Gu Chen: "I have... some clothes over there, do you want to try them on?"
Gu Chen looked at the lace puffy cake skirt on Shuxue.
"They are all boys' clothes." Shuxue said, "I made them... myself."
Gu Chen hesitated and smiled, "Thank you for your help."
Shuxue ran back to the room quickly.
Lu Xun joked: "Aren't you afraid that she will give you a belly-baring top?"
Gu Chen's eyes widened: "...Will she?"
Lu Xun shrugged: "I don't know."
Math came back quickly. Seeing the clothes she took, Gu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if it was just an ordinary white T-shirt.
"Thank you." Gu Chen took it and said to Lu Xun, "I'm going to the bathroom."
The T-shirt has a good fit, the kind of fitted style that Gu Chen likes very much, with a five-pointed star printed on the upper left side of the chest. The outermost outline of the five-pointed star is black, and the inside is filled with light gray, which contrasts sharply with the white of the T-shirt. A special 3D drawing method is used to present a futuristic and mysterious three-dimensional effect.
Gu Chen looked at himself in the mirror again and again.
It’s a very beautiful and special five-pointed star. The artist must have put a lot of thought into it. But he always felt a little familiar.
Gu Chen returned to the living room and was stunned when he saw Lu Xun.
Lu Xun had just finished taking a shower and changed his clothes into a black T-shirt. There is a 3D moon printed on the right side of the chest, with a white outline and a light grey fill inside. No matter how you look at it, it's exactly the same style as the five-pointed star on your clothes.
He suddenly understood what that familiar feeling meant.
Lu Xun was obviously stunned as well. He stared at the five-pointed star on Gu Chen's clothes for a long time, then turned to ask Shuxue: "Why didn't you tell me that this dress is a couple's outfit?"
Shuxue was looking at the two of them with shining eyes. Seeing Lu Xun turning around, she quickly lowered her head, twisted the hem of her skirt with her fingers and said: "When I sold it...when I sold it to you, the star design hadn't been designed yet. The inspiration came later..."
In addition to writing novels, Shuxue also has a hobby of drawing and making clothes. She drew many of her book covers together with English, and also designed clothes. The T-shirt that Lu Xun is wearing was originally a baby's shirt. Later, he thought the moon was very beautiful, so he bought the copyright and customized it into a T-shirt for himself.
"S-sorry." Mathematics walked up to Gu Chen, looking very guilty. "We were in such a hurry just now. How about I change you another one?"
Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun's moon, then at his own stars, and was about to speak.
Lu Xun: "No need."
He looked at the time on his phone: "It's too late."
Gu Chen swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"This one," he smiled at Mathematics.
Putting aside the fact that they were couple outfits, Gu Chen was 100% satisfied with the clothes he was wearing: "The clothes look good."
Lu Xun picked up Gu Chen, put him on his neck like he did during the day, and let him ride on him.
When he reached the door, Lu Xun paused: "By the way..."
He turned around and saw Shuxue holding up the camera of his mobile phone towards him and Gu Chen.
“……”
Seeing him suddenly turn around, Shuxun quickly pointed the camera in another direction and said to herself: "Strange, strange, why is it broken, broken..."
Lu Xun watched her perform.
Gu Chen always felt embarrassed about this posture, so he didn't turn around, and heard Lu Xun say to Shuxue: "I have also bought the copyright of the five-pointed star."
When they arrived at the hospital twenty minutes early, Xu Lian had not come yet.
The ward where Gu Chen lives is a VVIP room. Apart from the somewhat creepy medical equipment, the decoration and layout are very similar to those of the sanatorium outside, and it even has a leather sofa.
Lu Xun picked up a chair from the corner and sat down beside Gu Chen's bed.
Gu Chen jumped off his neck and landed on the bed to inspect his body: his entire body was covered tightly, with only his arms filled with instrument tubes exposed.
"Your skin is so white."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Xun: "You're quite white too."
Lu Xun stretched out his arm and put it next to Gu Chen, comparing his wrist to his wrist and elbow to his elbow: "I'm still not as good as you."
Gu Chen blinked and found that the difference in their skin color was minimal, but Lu Xun's wrists and elbows were wider than his.
It was the kind of big frame he had always envied.
After Lu Xun finished gesturing, he stood up and helped Gu Chen pull the quilt covering his shoulders: "It's fallen off a bit." "
?" Why did he think it was covered well?
"Do you exercise regularly?"
"I run and climb mountains."
Lu Xun nodded: "How wide are your shoulders?"
Gu Chen thought of the last time he bought clothes and said uncertainly: "It seems to be a little over 40."
Lu Xun: "Have you ever had a premature love affair?"
"?"
The topic jumped too quickly and Gu Chen didn't react at once. At this moment, a terrified scream suddenly came from outside.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then recognized that it was Xu Lian's voice and quickly jumped off the bed.
The door was not closed tightly to begin with, so Gu Chen opened it with both hands.
In the corridor, a man held Xu Lian hostage. He had a knife in his hand and was facing the next ward with the blade against Xu Lian's neck.
Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
The man's eyes were twitching and his whole body was shaking. It was obvious that his mental state was not normal: "You must cure her! If you can't... I will let this woman be buried with me!"
After saying that, he held Xu Lian's neck even tighter. Xu Lian seemed to have his breath choked, his face turned pale, and he couldn't utter a word.
"Mr. Wang..." The leading doctor raised his hands and made a soothing gesture to the man, "We will do our best to cure your mother's illness, you first..."
"I don't want to hear 'try our best'!" the man suddenly shouted, "I want you to promise that you can cure her!"
"Yes, it can be cured!" The doctor saw that Xu Lian was getting more and more painful, and said nervously, "Put down the knife first..."
The man seemed to be comforted a little, and his hands loosened a little. Xu Lian coughed violently, and before she could come to her senses, the man suddenly seemed to be provoked by something and grabbed her throat with his arms. This time the force was greater than last time, and the knife even cut a gash on Xu Lian's neck.
Gu Chen took off his invisibility cloak.
Lu Xun's eyelids jumped, and before he could reach out his hand, Gu Chen rushed out.
The two sides stood in a stiff standoff for more than two minutes. Han Xiu hurried over and saw Xu Lian's bleeding neck. He gasped: "Mr. Wang, calm down first..."
The attending doctor leaned close to Han Xiu's ear and said in a very low voice: "Someone has called the police."
"What are you talking about?!" The man raised his voice vigilantly, "Did you call the police?!"
"No, no...we..." Halfway through his words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
When Han Xiu saw Lu Xun slowly approaching the man from the side, his breathing became tight and he frantically signaled Lu Xun with his eyes to go back.
Lu Xun remained unmoved, staring at the man's face with a serious look.
The man seemed to feel something was wrong and was about to turn around when his vision suddenly went dark.
"What's going on! What did you do!"
The doctors were all stunned when they saw what suddenly appeared on the man's face.
...baby, doll? !
Gu Chen laid his whole body on the man's face, his two cotton hands clinging tightly to his ears.
Lu Xun took the opportunity to rush forward and grabbed the man's hand holding the knife.
The other party let out a scream. The knife fell to the ground.
Xu Lian took advantage of the gap, pushed the man away, staggered to the side and coughed violently.
“Fuck! Let me go!”
Lu Xun grabbed his other hand and put it behind his back together with the previous one.
"Come down quickly." He stared at the doll on the man's face, with a rare hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Gu Chen really wanted to get down, but the man seemed to be on drugs and struggled violently in Lu Xun’s hands, and he couldn’t find a foothold for a while.
Several doctors present all rushed over to help.
The man couldn't see, but he felt tremendous pressure coming from all directions: "Get out of my way!" He rushed through the crowd like an enraged beast. The crowd could hardly hold him down.
"Damn! Did he take some pesticide?"
In the chaos, the man bumped his head against the corner of the window sill next to him.
Lu Xun watched as Gu Chen’s back was poked by the corner and slowly slid down the man’s face.
"The police are here! Hurry!"
Several policemen rushed up from the side, one of them holding a stun gun in his hand, and hit the man hard on the back of his neck.
The man twitched on the spot and passed out.
"Handcuffs!"
"Go and see how Doctor Xu is doing!"
The voices of police and doctors were heard all around. Lu Xun stepped out of the crowd and walked to the windowsill.
Gu Chen was lying with his back to the sky and his face to the ground, where he had just fallen.
Lu Xun's mouth was tense as he saw that there was a dent on the back of the doll. Fortunately, the corner of the windowsill was not too sharp and no cotton wool was exposed.
He picked up Gu Chen, turned him over in his arms, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Gu Chen didn't say anything.
Lu Xun stared at him, his pupils gradually shrinking: "Gu Chen?"
Still no sound.
Lu Xun raised his hand and waved his palm over the doll's eyes twice. There was no light in the blue pupils, and it lay quietly in Lu Xun's arms, just like all the ordinary dolls outside.
