Chapter 661 Someone Still Remembers
In the cozy bedroom of Jinyang Villa, soft lights fall like a veil, making the entire space dreamy.
This warm yellow halo seemed to have a magical power, gently plucking the long-forgotten heartstrings deep in Gu Ze's heart.
The emotions that had been buried deep in his heart for many years were like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be controlled.
He gently placed Jiang Chengyu in the chair, and then slowly knelt on one knee, his movements pious and solemn.
He stretched out his hands, tightly grasped Jiang Chengyu's hands, and gazed at his sleeping form with gentle and focused eyes.
It was as if he wanted to explore the secrets deep in Jiang Chengyu's heart through these tightly closed eyes.
"Cheng Yu, I always thought you were living a happy life. What happened to you over the years? What made you become like this?"
Gu Ze's voice was low and trembling, full of concern and heartache. The words seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, slowly echoing in the silent room.
At this moment, Jiang Shuo gently opened the glass door of the balcony, breaking the silence. He said apologetically:
"I'm sorry Uncle Gu Ze, I was worried that little daddy might catch a cold, so I brought him a blanket."
The voice was crisp yet cautious, as if afraid of disturbing the complex emotions in the air.
Gu Ze finally woke up from his dream, a trace of panic and self-blame flashed across his face. He quickly stood up and said:
"Oh, I'm sorry, I... I was so confused that I forgot that Cheng Yu was still a patient." His eyes were full of guilt, as if he had made an unforgivable mistake.
Jiang Shuo smiled, a smile that showed a maturity and understanding that was not in line with his age, and said:
"It's nothing. I can see that Uncle Gu Ze and Little Daddy have a history." These simple words seemed to have seen through the softest corner of Gu Ze's heart.
Gu Ze nodded slightly, then bent down and picked up Jiang Chengyu again, saying, "I'd better take him back to his room!"
His embrace was firm and warm, as if it could shield Jiang Chengyu from all the storms in the world.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo quickly opened the glass door and said, "Okay, Uncle Gu Ze, take it easy."
The two returned to the sofa and chaise longue in the bedroom. Gu Ze gently put Jiang Chengyu down and let him lie in a semi-reclining position on the chaise longue. His movements were as careful as if he were treating a rare treasure.
Jiang Shuo immediately stepped forward, spread out the soft blanket, and together with Gu Ze carefully covered Jiang Chengyu with it. Every movement was full of care and protection.
"Jiang Shuo, you said that little daddy has been unconscious for over a year. I've always seen him be self-disciplined and in good health. How come he's unconscious?"
Gu Ze frowned tightly, his eyes full of confusion and worry, as if he was trying to find the key to solve the mystery from Jiang Shuo's answer.
Jiang Shuo's bright eyes narrowed slightly, as if pulling his thoughts back to the distant past.
"Before I was born, Daddy had several episodes of falling asleep and not waking up for days at a time.
Last year, my dad and I brought my little dad back to G City. Director Cui Jiani of Renxin Hospital and Sister Luo Jinxi from the Public Security Bureau told me about it.
Professor Cao Guohua of the Military Region Hospital also conducted a comprehensive and detailed examination on the young father, conducting a full range of tests and analyses from various body functions to the nervous system, but the cause of the disease could not be found.
My father has read many medical books from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Those yellowed ancient books carry thousands of years of medical wisdom.
and various precious books, including two authoritative experts from Los Angeles Cornell Medical Center,
We also conducted remote consultations and face-to-face diagnoses for the young dad, using the most advanced medical technology and equipment, but still could not provide a clear answer."
Jiang Shuo's narration was orderly, and every detail revealed the complexity and seriousness of the matter.
Gu Ze frowned slightly, his face full of disbelief, "How could this happen?
"He's such an outstanding person, didn't he notice that there was something wrong with his body? Did he take care of himself in advance?"
There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in his tone, as if he couldn't accept this fact.
Jiang Shuo looked helpless, with a trace of sadness in his eyes. "He knew there was no other way.
He…wrote a suicide note to his father.” The voice was low and suppressed, as if filled with endless sorrow.
"Suicide note? Why?" Gu Ze's eyes flashed with shock, and he asked anxiously.
"My father was once kidnapped, and the criminals inhumanely tortured him with electric currents, causing damage to his heart and lungs.
After learning about this, the little dad took great pains and used his superb medical knowledge to develop a detailed and scientific dietary conditioning plan for his father.
From the selection of ingredients to the cooking methods, every step is carefully arranged, striving to slowly repair the father's damaged heart and lung function through diet.
However, due to the erosion of time, my father's physical function gradually declined as he grew older.
Coupled with his meticulous work ethic, his heart and lungs were unable to bear the strain from long-term high-load operation.
So, when the little dad discovered that he had a health problem, he wanted to find a way to protect his father.
Jiang Shuo's narration was like a heavy piece of music, and every note struck Gu Ze's heart.
"Heart and lung transplant?" Gu Ze blurted out without daring to imagine, and hit the nail on the head.
His face turned pale in an instant. He couldn't believe his own guess, and his eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.
Jiang Shuo responded concisely: "Yes!"
Gu Ze's surprised eyes met Jiang Shuo's bright eyes, which seemed to be asking for more details. "Then..."
Jiang Shuo took a deep breath and continued, "Because of me, Dad misunderstood Little Daddy, and the two of them broke up. It's been three years since we last met.
It was not until my grandmother’s birthday that my father learned that he had a son in this world.
At that moment, he felt that life was full of drama and he was like a clown being played around by fate.
Especially the 'betrayal' by Little Daddy, which made him feel extremely insulted and violated."
There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in Jiang Shuo's voice, as if he was telling about the past that was too painful to recall.
"I am mocking Assistant Feng, but it's better to say that I am also mocking myself. He has a complicated background, and so do I!" Jiang Shuo smiled self-deprecatingly, with a hint of loneliness in his smile.
Gu Ze looked at Jiang Shuo's serious expression as he talked about his past with his little daddy, and his heart was filled with heartache.
This child should have been growing up at a carefree age, but he had to bear so much burden too early.
"My grandfather, Mr. Song Shijie, the president of Zidong International Group, saw that my little dad was doing nothing all day long following his father.
"I thought his intentions towards my father were impure, and I started to dislike him." Jiang Shuo continued, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Gu Ze looked puzzled: "Impurious purpose?"
Jiang Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't understand the relationship between Dad and Little Daddy before.
Until I often saw my little dad sitting alone on the balcony, like a walking corpse, looking out the window in a daze, with the picture album tightly held in his hands.
It records the stories of the two of them. Every page carries their laughter and tears, and is a testimony to their love."
There was a hint of emotion in Jiang Shuo's eyes, as if he saw the loneliness and pain that his little father was feeling at that time.
"It wasn't until my grandmother's birthday that my father saw my miniature version of me. He was immediately furious and stormed out to the yard to settle the score with my little daddy!
I witnessed with my own eyes that my father angrily questioned Little Daddy and asked Little Daddy to give him a reasonable explanation, but Little Daddy didn't give any explanation.
I just told my father that he knew he was wrong and that considering their past relationship, he should not let him die in such a miserable way.
Dad was so angry at the time that he completely lost his mind. He stepped on little dad's fingers and broke him, seriously injuring him and then sending him to the hospital.
Since then, my little daddy has never woken up. Therefore, I hate my dad very much because he destroyed my happiness and destroyed my little daddy who loved and cared about me.
In order to protect little daddy from being hurt by daddy again, I stayed with him all day long.
In order to draw a clear line between myself and my father, I took the name Jiang Shuo. That’s how my name Jiang Shuo came about.”
Jiang Shuo's voice trembled slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes. They showed his deep attachment to his little daddy and his anger at his father's behavior.
Gu Ze nodded in surprise and said sincerely: "I am really impressed that you have achieved such accomplishments at such a young age!" He admired Jiang Shuo's strength and maturity.
"I was born through my mother's surrogacy, using my father's sperm secretly taken from my little daddy. So I have no right to laugh at Assistant Feng. I am the one who is not allowed to be seen in public.
The first thing I saw when I was born was my little daddy's sunny smile. Since then, I have been clinging to him all day long, and he has taught me many skills.
If I were younger, I could have performed Dad's heart and lung transplant myself. This was the mission Little Daddy entrusted to me; he wanted me to protect Dad for him.
If I grow up and my father needs a heart-lung transplant, I will be the one to perform the surgery myself.
My little daddy raised a lot of little white rabbits and let me practice surgery on them to become proficient in the technique. I also knew his good intentions, so I listened to my little daddy very much.
I have acquired all his abilities, just to fulfill his wish." Jiang Shuo's eyes revealed determination and persistence, which reflected his deep love and commitment to his little daddy.
In this cozy yet story-filled bedroom, Jiang Shuo's story unfolds slowly like a scroll.
A story full of love and sacrifice, misunderstanding and redemption is presented to Gu Ze in its entirety.
Gu Ze carefully picked up the record, his eyes full of affection and reluctance, as if this small record carried the most precious time in his life.
He slowly handed the record to Jiang Shuo, his movements gentle and solemn, as if he was delivering an extremely important mission.
"I wrote this album for Jiang Chengyu," Gu Ze's voice trembled slightly, with a strong sense of attachment.
“Every song in it reflects the emotions I have accumulated bit by bit during the days I spent with him.
Those memories, like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminate my once dark world."
He paused slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the emotions surging in his heart.
"Please help me keep it well for him," Gu Ze continued, with a glint of expectation in his eyes.
"I know he may not be able to listen to these songs in person because of his current condition, but I hope that those beautiful memories are still remembered by others.
Even if he remains asleep, I hope this memory will be with him in some way, just as it was with me during those difficult times."
Jiang Shuo looked at Gu Ze's sincere and hopeful eyes, and couldn't help feeling moved.
He took the record gently, as if he had received a heavy love. "Uncle Gu Ze, don't worry, I will definitely keep it well.
Although my little daddy hasn't woken up yet, I believe that one day he will wake up and hear the songs you wrote for him."
Jiang Shuo's voice was firm and warm, as if it gave Gu Ze a shot of adrenaline.
Gu Ze looked at Jiang Shuo gratefully and patted his shoulder gently, "Thank you, Jiang Shuo.
I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, could be so sensible. I hope that one day, when Cheng Yu wakes up, he can once again feel our love for him."
After saying that, he looked at the sleeping Jiang Chengyu again, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation, as if at this moment, time had stopped for this deep emotion.
