Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Stay by my side forever.

This abrupt action made the atmosphere stiff for a moment.

Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun's dark and silent pupils, and after a while, he uttered a faint voice: "Will you sleep with me?"

Lu Xun was rarely stunned. In the past, he was able to sleep with Gu Chen at night because he had forced himself on her. This was the first time he heard the other party take the initiative to make such a request.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down a little, and Lu Xun asked: "Do you want me to sleep with you?"

Gu Chen nodded, and when he saw Lu Xun's eyes change, he immediately realized that what he said seemed ambiguous.

"I mean, you didn't rest all night, you should..."

Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Lu Xun.

Cheeks brushed against cheeks, the touch of slightly warm skin accompanied by the boy's faint breathing made Gu Chen a little absent-minded. He stared blankly at the warm yellow halo outside the corridor.

"I owe it for now." Gu Chen heard Lu Xun say in his ear, "Wait until I send you back, and we will sleep for three days and three nights."

Gu Chen thought to himself, how could he remember it when he went back.

It was only a few steps from the English room to his own room. Lu Xun put Gu Chen on the bed and covered him with a small quilt. Gu Chen's eyes were filled with anxiety. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xun interrupted him: "Go to bed early."

Gu Chen lay on the bed for almost half an hour, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

The sky was turning pale, and Gu Chen dragged his heavy body out of the room. After walking a distance, he heard a voice from the right.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

It was the voice of biology.

Gu Chen stopped subconsciously. He turned his head and found that the door of biology was half open. Maybe it was too chaotic recently, and biology had less time to do experiments behind closed doors.

Gu Chen walked over gently and saw a beautiful long golden hair.

Mathematics and biology stood face to face, and next to them was the operating table where biology usually did experiments on dolls. From Gu Chen's perspective, he could only see half of Mathematics's profile. The usual gentleness and laziness were gone, and there was a kind of seriousness that Gu Chen had never seen before.

Biology: "Your parents are so rich, it shouldn't be hard for you to be a human again."

"Teacher, you are also a great scientist, why don't you want to go back?" Maybe it was because the topic was too serious, the girl spoke fluently.

"I can't go back." Biology paused and said quickly, "Have you told Lu Xun?"

"Just now, he said he respects my thoughts."

"That kid..." Biology frowned and said in a deep voice, "I emphasize again, once you are transformed, you will never be able to become a human again."

"Wait!"

The two kids were stunned when they heard the voice and looked at the door.

Gu Chen pushed open the half-open door. He also knew that his behavior was impolite, but he was so excited that he moved without even thinking.

He took a deep breath, and after feeling calm, he walked to the operating table.

Gu Chen: "...I'm sorry."

Mathematics smiled and shook his head: "I also eavesdropped on your conversation yesterday."

Gu Chen was stunned: "Do you know everything?"

Mathematics said softly.

Gu Chen looked at her, then at Biology: "Are you going to help Mathematics with the surgery we talked about yesterday?"

"Don't come." Biology said without hesitation, "I don't want to be thrown into the river by Lu Xun."

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and took out a light yellow envelope with a rose print from his pocket and handed it to Mathematics.

Mathematics realized what it was and waved her hands in shock: "Don't... I, I don't want to be thrown into the river either."

Gu Chen: "..."

"English has gone back." Gu Chen saw that Mathematics' eyes trembled, and pushed the envelope in front of her, "She asked me to give this to you."

Mathematics paused, took the envelope, opened it in front of Gu Chen and Biology, and quickly read it.

Gu Chen looked at her, and the little girl's expression changed from calm at the beginning to gradually loosen up later, until finally, her lips began to tremble involuntarily.

Until she lowered her head heavily in the darkness.

Biology looked at her for a while, then turned to face the operating table: "Go back, I have to work."

"Teacher." Mathematics suddenly raised her head again, "Can you help me transform it now?"

Gu Chen looked at her in a flash, and the little girl had returned to normal, as if the hesitation just now was just an illusion.

"English she..." Gu Chen's body gradually tensed up: "She should want to see you again."

Mathematics smiled and folded the letter back along the original fold little by little.

Gu Chen watched her put the folded small square into the upper left pocket of her lace skirt, close to her heart.

"Even if I turn back into a human, we won't remember each other."

"What if!" Gu Chen's tone suddenly became hurried, "There are often those moments in movies where the protagonist loses his memory, and then suddenly encounters something and remembers it again..."

"That's just what if." Mathematics smiled. She looked at Gu Chen's panicked expression, with a hint of helplessness and heartache in her eyes, "It's possible that such a situation will happen. But for me, life here is happier."

"I have countless time for myself every day, doing what I want to do, without being disturbed by anyone."

Gu Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but look into the room again. Mathematics had changed out of her lace tutu and stood in front of the operating table in a simple pure white bathrobe.

"Gu Chen." The doll turned her head under the light, smiling gently, "Thank you for giving me the letter."

Gu Chen pulled the corner of his lip.

"Writing is a great invention." Mathematics sighed softly, "It can travel through time and space."

Gu Chen paused slightly.

After leaving the biology, he returned to his room, took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and wrote quickly. He wrote for almost an hour before putting down his pen.

He leaned back in his chair, pressed his brow, and the progress bar popped up -

99.7%

. Gu Chen pursed his lips and put the written letter paper and some small things at hand into the envelope. The envelope was pure white. Gu Chen drew a thousand paper cranes and a cedar with a water pen in the lower right corner.

Just after he finished drawing, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Gu Chen stuffed the envelope into his pocket and went to open the door, and found Lu Xun standing at the door with a file bag.

"Auntie is here to clean up today, I'm going outside to do my homework." Lu Xun squatted down skillfully, "Are you going?"

Gu Chen glanced at the file bag with his peripheral vision. There were several notebooks in the translucent bag, and the Chinese homework book was pressed at the bottom, revealing a little blue edge.

Gu Chen: "I want to go to the hospital to check my health first."

Lu Xun: "...Okay."

At 7:30 in the morning, many people had come to visit the inpatient department. Lu Xun held Gu Chen through the crowd and went up to the VIP floor.

Although he was transferred from the ICU to the general ward very early, because Gu Chen's condition has not been stable, Han Xiu specially asked people to install two more machines to monitor vital signs in his room.

On the three monitors, the colored wavy lines representing vital signs rose and fell evenly.

On the bed, the boy with white skin lay quietly. He still had the same number of tubes on his body as before, but it can be seen that his complexion has improved a lot.

Lu Xun stared at him for a while, lowered his head, and found that the little guy in his arms who said he wanted to see his body was staring at the windowsill.

There were two potted cedars on the windowsill that were not there before. The emerald green leaves looked particularly vibrant in the sun.

Lu Xun: "Your mother brought it."

Gu Chen turned around, looking puzzled: "How did you know?"

"Your brother told me."

Gu Chen then remembered that Lu Xun had Luo Xingyuan's phone number. He turned back and looked at the two pots of cedars: "Xingyuan is quite good at choosing."

Lu Xun raised his hand, then suddenly stopped: "Can I touch your head?"

Gu Chen looked at him puzzledly, and then realized that the touch of head that Lu Xun was talking about was different from the usual one.

"...Put me on the windowsill, I want to take a good look at the cedars."

Lu Xun looked at his cotton ears that suddenly turned pink, lowered his head slightly, and deliberately put his lips to him: "You haven't answered me yet." "

...Whatever you want." The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Lu Xun raised the corner of his lips, put the doll in his arms on the windowsill, and then took a chair and sat down beside the bed.

Gu Chen's eyes were fixed on the cedars, but his attention was always behind him. The sound of the clothes rubbing against each other was like a thread that materialized and pulled his thoughts away.

He changed his posture, pretended to fiddle with the cedar leaves with his hands, and quietly turned his head.

The sun cast a layer of ethereal white halo around the bed. Lu Xun lowered his eyes and stroked the boy's head with his long, white fingers. His movements were very gentle and his expression was extremely focused, as if he was afraid of accidentally breaking something.

Gu Chen watched and his heartbeat gradually slowed down. He felt that something must be wrong with him, and he actually felt that the scene in front of him was very beautiful and moving.

His breathing tightened slightly, and he was about to look away when he saw Lu Xun stroke the ends of his hair with his fingers, and then turned his hand to the folder on the bedside table.

He opened the zipper of the folder and took out the Chinese homework and a fountain pen from it.

Gu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

"No!"

This sound was almost a roar. Lu

Xun probably didn't expect that the tone of a person who usually spoke softly would be so intense, and he really didn't move for a moment.

Gu Chen walked a few steps away from him and looked at the notebook that had been turned to the last page.

"...What are you doing?" Gu Chen felt as if his voice was strangled by something, and every syllable was extremely difficult to pronounce.

In contrast, Lu Xun's face showed no expression. He was silent for a moment, and said in a normal tone: "Do your homework."

Gu Chen... "...You don't like me anymore?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Xun's eyes.

But it was gone in an instant.

"...Do you want me to prove it here?" Lu Xun deliberately glanced at the boy on the hospital bed and chuckled, "You haven't woken up yet, it's not good."

He deliberately prolonged his tone, sounding extremely ambiguous, but Gu Chen didn't seem to feel it at all. His face was cold, and his whole body solidified into a stone that seemed to crack if it was hit.

"Why are you so anxious?" Gu Chen staggered forward two steps.

He didn't understand why Lu Xun's reaction to such a big thing was so calm. It was as if they had no contact at all in the past three months, just ordinary passers-by.

"Just go back like this..." The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for two days finally broke out, and Gu Chen trembled: "Just go back like this... I will really forget you."

...

A dead silence centered on Lu Xun gradually spread to the entire room.

"Forget you..." Gu Chen stared at the person whose smile was gradually fading, "You don't care either?"

The hand holding the pen suddenly tightened, and the knuckles turned a startling pale due to excessive force.

Lu Xun lowered his head slightly, and his body slowly leaned against the back of the chair. His slender neck bent into a tight arc, and his eyes were fixed on the last few blanks on the paper.

"I'm afraid I can't help it."

After the voice fell, there was another dead silence.

The cold dripping sound of the instrument oppressed the nerves, making Gu Chen feel difficult to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, the person on the chair spoke again.

"The longer it takes, the more I will waver."

Lu Xun said, while his hand subconsciously reached for his pocket.

Gu Chen then noticed that there was a white mass of burnt red rings between the index and middle fingers of his right hand. Because the location was too secret, he didn't notice it just now.

"Your hand..." Gu Chen suddenly became nervous, "Was it burned by a cigarette butt?" Lu

Xun paused, and put his hand on the cigarette box through his pants pocket. He has been smoking a lot these two days, and this is almost a habitual action. As soon as Gu Chen spoke, he realized belatedly that he was still in the hospital, even in front of Gu Chen.

"I can still send you back now." Lu Xun slowly took his hand back. He did not answer Gu Chen's question, but just talked to himself.

"In a few days, weeks, I don't know what I will do."

"It is possible to convince myself. For example, I will treat you very well and make you happier than turning back into a human."

"Then I will give you some medicine and send you for reform."

Lu Xun stared at the homework book, his eyes focused on a classical Chinese reading. In the middle of the article, the two words "伏囚" were bolded.

"Then, you will never be able to forget me again."

"Be my doll, stay by my side forever, and never leave me."

Lu Xun said, slowly raised his head, and looked into the blue pupils in front of him that were full of astonishment and shock. His voice was low and hoarse, hiding a pain that was difficult to detect: "Do you want that?"
