For more than two years, Fang Jin presided over the Gu family, he used cement to seal the main study that Gu Mingzong used to use, and moved all the things out and placed them in the warehouse. Gu Yuan asked him to sort out all the items in the courtyard in a classified manner, and then he did not bring anyone, so he searched Fang Jin's bedroom himself.

As a result, he didn't have much trouble, and found an encrypted suitcase in the cabinet at the bottom of the wardrobe that no one usually opened.

——He guessed that Fang Jin left the hospital purely an emergency. His original plan was to leave the Gu family calmly. So since that is the case, the things he was going to take away must have been taken away before the Gu family could take them away. When he came back, he searched for them.

The suitcase is quite sturdy. Gu Yuan asked someone to saw the metal shell open, turn it out, and pour it on the carpet with a thud.

Unexpectedly, there were not many things in the box, and they were very ordinary, namely documents, passports, some clothes and medicines. Gu Yuan's originally calm and ashamed of ice, suddenly broke when he saw the medicine box all over the floor. He half-kneeled on the bedroom carpet, picked up the dark glass medicine closest to him, and gasped in a dull and hoarse breath from his chest.

How long has the prescription been taking these medicines?

In the past half month since he returned to the Gu family, Fang Jin hid the medicine where he was secretly carrying him to get the medicine every day?

Gu Yuan searched for the miscellaneous things like a drowning person looking for driftwood. He even lifted his clothes and shook them a few times, but there was no clue. There was no word or paper, no old things, and even the ring was hung around Fang Jin's neck and taken away.

The clothes and documents on the floor overlap, and the passport opened and revealed the photo above the homepage. He was not sick at that time, and his complexion was very good and his eyes were bright. Even the ID photos could not stop the unforgettable look.

After a while, Gu Yuan stopped and squatted on the ground to cover his eyes.

Fang Jin has been with the Gu family for so many years. Didn’t he leave anything behind when he was a child?

Or did he not want to take away any old things at all, and he had already taken the opportunity to destroy them all?

When he thought about what he felt when Fang Jin destroyed all his old things, Gu Yuan's throat tightened, as if he had a suffocating pain, and torn blood came out from his internal organs.

——He doesn’t want to come back. He knows he can’t come back.

Gu Yuan reluctantly let out a breath, opened his eyes and stood up, wanting to go to the yard to see what was moved out of the main study. At this moment, he found that he was holding a handkerchief in his hand, which he had just grabbed from the clothes all over the floor and pressed his face.

He didn't have the time to pay attention too much. When he was about to throw the handkerchief back to the ground, he suddenly said "Huh".

That looks familiar.

Gu Yuan spread the handkerchief and saw that the fabric was already very old, and the soft white cotton had turned slightly yellow, but because it was folded neatly and kept properly, there was no odor and clean without wrinkles.

A neat and beautiful small letter is embroidered with white silk thread at the lower right corner of the handkerchief - Lin.

A string in Gu Yuan's memory suddenly tugged, and then his pupils suddenly tightened.

He knew the meaning of this word, and also remembered the handkerchief: Collin, which was his mother's name. He often carried this handkerchief with him when he was a child. It was a relic left by his mother back then.

But how could it appear next to Fang Jin?!

In an instant, the memories of childhood came into my mind, and scene after scene were all reflected in Gu Yuan's shocked eyes. It was the first time he saw the little girl on the bluestone steps of the Gu family mansion when he was eleven or twelve years old. At that time, she was just a snow-white little tear bag, sobbing and choking. While wiping her tears, she said to him: "My parents are gone..."

She cried so hard that her whole face was wet, and her hands kept wiping her tears. Gu Yuan, who was young, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her.

In fact, Xiao Gu Yuan felt a little distressed at that time: If the little girl hadn't been crying, he wouldn't have been willing to take out the handkerchief.

"You are so ugly and you still cry. If you cry, you will be even more ugly!"

"My name is Gu Yuan, what's your name?"

Unexpectedly, when the little girl heard his name, she cried and felt like she had seen a ghost, her eyes with tears suddenly opened.

Gu Yuanqi asked: "...What's wrong with you?"

The next second, the little girl jumped up suddenly, like a quick little rabbit, and rushed down the stairs and ran away in an instant!

"Hey! Where are you going? Come back soon!"

Gu Yuan was stunned. He immediately pulled his feet and chased after him when he realized it. But she was frightened and ran very fast. Gu Yuan, a boy, was stunned. He watched the little girl's figure pass through the garden and disappeared in the dense woods. He stopped in anger: "Hey, give me the handkerchief! That's my mother's handkerchief--!"

The sound echoed, but the little girl never saw her again.

Later, Gu Yuan went to the housekeeper to ask who the girl was and wanted to get the handkerchief back. The Gu family never bought a child to be a servant. Therefore, he thought that the little girl was a relative of a subordinate who had made a mistake, or the child who was in the company who owed Gu family debts and was arrested as a hostage.

However, the housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped for a while, saying: "Young Master, I don't know who you are talking about. But recently, Mr. Gu was asking around for people of the same blood type as you for safety plans. The child you are talking about is probably..."

Gu Yuan understood immediately.

Children who grew up in wealthy chaebols were everywhere, and they were precocious at the age of a few years. Gu Yuan had already begun to understand at that time, and even gradually came into contact with many cruel and unfair things that normal people living in the sun could hardly imagine.

He just felt a little unacceptable, why did his own safety be based on the life of another innocent person?

Is it because of my good background that I am born superior?

That summer afternoon, the little girl cried heartbrokenly, like the most severe whip, whipping hard on his soul. For a long time, Gu Yuan tried to avoid going to the garden. He even deliberately pulled up the curtains to avoid seeing the bluestone steps down from the bedroom. It seemed that there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, which made him not want to see the little girl again.

He was too young at that time, and it was only after many years that he realized that it was actually shame and timidity.

——It’s not that he doesn’t want to, it’s not that he dares.

Gu Yuan stood still, holding his handkerchief tightly, and his heart was awake and dazed. The crying face of the little girl in the long-standing memory and Fang Jin's gentle eyes slightly lowered, flashed like a phantom in his brain, constantly alternating and overlapping; in the end, everything turned into a night breeze in the garden and grass. He suddenly went up and hugged Fang Jin in his arms like a prank. At that moment, Fang Jin looked up at each other in shock, and the stars in the sky reflected in his bright eyes, like the rippling light of water.

After all, I have only met once. If the child was not a girl back then...

If he had been... for so many years...

It seemed as if a small cluster of flames were ignited from Gu Yuan's heart. He didn't even think about it, and his fingers trembled, because his brain was completely blank and he even entered the wrong password twice.

The waiting for the last ten seconds before the call was endless, and finally, a "Hey?" sounded from the other side of the phone, followed by the dean's voice this afternoon:

"Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry I didn't have time to send you today. Actually, there are still some things here, about the patient you sent..."

"Director Sun," Gu Yuan interrupted him, his voice unaware of it, but in fact he was very obvious:

"——The patient I sent, Fang Jin, what kind of blood type is he?"

It was really just a momentary pause.

Immediately afterwards, the dean's voice sounded, very natural and a little bit of emotion:

"I'm about to tell you. Mr. Fang's blood type is rh negative ab type, which is the rarest type in panda blood, accounting for about one ten thousand to three ten thousand of the total population. Because of this, it will be difficult for him to match, so if the diagnosis is confirmed, the national bone marrow bank needs to be screened and investigated as soon as possible..."

Gu Yuan's hand holding the phone slowly hangs down.

He felt as if he had suddenly been pulled away all his strength, half kneeled on the carpet, and then fell down.

The dean was still saying something on the other side of the phone, but Gu Yuan's mind was buzzing and he could not hear anything. In a daze, he could only remember the last time he heard the little girl's news. It was after he woke up from a car accident and was alone in the hospital. As long as he closed his eyes, he could hear the little girl's helpless cry. For the first time in his life, he took the initiative to call Gu Mingzong and asked with an undepressing sob: "Father... the girl who gave me blood transfusion during the operation, now... where is she now?"

At that time, the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before Gu Mingzong's cold voice came: "I'm gone."

Not here anymore.

Three simple words are like the mark of sin that penetrates deeply into Gu Yuan's soul, turning into a sad whistle deep in the blood vessels.

Gu Yuan cried bitterly, and he couldn't move on the hospital bed because he had not recovered from his serious injury and cried so hoarsely that he couldn't bear to listen.

Gu Mingzong listened to this for a long time, and remained indifferent from beginning to end. Until Gu Yuan could no longer make any sound in his throat, and only when he choked out of his trachea with tear gasps, he heard him coldly say: "Is his life so difficult to accept?"

“…”

"You are reckless, reckless, not strong enough, so you can't protect yourself, but the price is someone else in the end. It doesn't matter. Gu Yuan, just cry so weakly and incompetently, and you will know when you lose more things in the future."

Gu Mingzong hung up the phone.

That was the last direct call between the father and son before Gu Yuan returned from studying in the UK a few years later.

After being discharged from the hospital, Gu Yuan studied carving for several months and finally carved the stone tablet himself, building an empty tomb for the little girl in the best place in the cemetery environment. From then on, he would visit him every year on Qingming Festival and on his death day. Every time, he would not stop wind and rain, he would put down a bouquet of blooming white flowers in front of the tombstone alone.

He never told anyone about the existence of the cemetery as if he was keeping a secret. Until several years later, on that sunny morning, he finally opened his forbidden area to Fang Jin with his own hands.

"Please keep this secret for me..."

“…I just don’t want to see you get hurt in front of me.”

He stretched out his hand to Fang Jin, but tears slowly burst out from Fang Jin's eyes, and then he came up to give him a tight hug.

——That was the first time Fang Jin took the initiative to hug him.

Gu Yuan trembled and stretched out his palm. At that moment, the little girl who ran away in panic in her childhood, the girl who enshrines his beautiful first love in her youth, and Fang Jin, who lies on his shoulders in the cemetery many years later, shed a drop of hot tears; all the truth and illusions overlap into the same person, leaning over from the void, and gently holding his hand.

"So you've been there all the time..."

Gu Yuan held his palm tightly and felt his nails pinched deeply into the flesh in the stinging pain. The sour liquid slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes through his nose:

"For so many years... you've been..."

It took me so many years to return to the place where I met you. I just want to say one thing, I miss you very much.

——I will definitely get you back again.
