Chapter 11: “Brother Sanmu is Here”

Gu Yusen resigned himself to buying flowers.

He didn’t know why the young man liked roses so much, and insisted they had to be red. Although loving flowers wasn’t gender-specific, in his mind, girls were more inclined to like them.

Chu Jiaojiao also liked them.

Chu Jiaojiao hummed a little tune, sitting on a long chair, swinging his feet back and forth.

Brother Sanmu went to buy roses~

Actually, he hadn’t been in good condition all day. It was true that he was a little deaf, and it was also true that he had mild autism.

In the past, his parents would only take him out to see the doctor for half a day at most, but now he had been out for almost a whole day.

Although Gu Yusen seemed carefree, he was actually very observant. He noticed Chu Zhaoyi’s slightly off state, so he always teased him to keep the young man’s attention on himself.

He was a little worried about leaving at first, but the young man clearly showed an expression that if he didn’t get flowers, he would be angry and refuse to communicate.

Besides, he noticed as soon as he entered that there was a flower shop at the entrance. It would only take five minutes to go out and come back.

What could happen in five minutes?

But things didn’t go as planned.

As soon as Gu Yusen left, a child chased after his ball in the hallway, accidentally bumping into Chu Zhaoyi’s leg as he passed by.

Chu Zhaoyi slowly retracted his leg. There weren’t many people here at this time, so he stretched his legs out to swing them, otherwise he always felt stifled.

Before Gu Yusen left, he was afraid that he would bother others this way. When he was around, he could keep an eye on him, so before he left, he specifically tucked his legs in.

This distance wouldn’t affect others.

It was that the child was too focused on chasing the ball and didn’t notice, bumping straight into Chu Zhaoyi’s leg.

Chu Zhaoyi shrank back his leg without raising his head, moved to the side, and tightly gripped his phone in his hand, his fingertips faintly turning white.

The child looked only three or four years old. He stopped and looked up at Chu Zhaoyi. Chu Zhaoyi was a little wary, his eyes naturally falling on the child.

“Such a pretty older sister.”

Chu Zhaoyi read the words the child spoke. His vision blurred slightly, and the world around him suddenly seemed noisy and sharp. His mind was filled with the child’s words, his heart pounding wildly as if bound by invisible chains. Those painful fragments buried deep in his memory surged like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

“Get out!” He suddenly burst out a roar, his voice sharp and piercing, as if venting the fear and anger from the depths of his heart. He pushed the child away roughly and uncontrollably.

The child fell to the ground with a thud, then burst into a loud cry.

The surrounding passersby were startled by this sudden change, and stopped one after another, their eyes fixed on Chu Zhaoyi. Their eyes were filled with anger and incomprehension.

The child’s mother realized something was wrong and rushed over, picking up her child, her eyes full of worry and anger. Her eyes were like sharp swords, pointing directly at Chu Zhaoyi, as if to pierce him.

The surrounding crowd began to gather, forming a circle, trapping Chu Zhaoyi in the center. They uttered words of condemnation, as if Chu Zhaoyi were a dangerous thug, ready to escape at any moment.

Chu Zhaoyi felt surrounded by countless angry gazes and accusatory words. Although he couldn’t hear a single word, the angry and disgusted expressions of the people around him were deeply imprinted in his mind, and his fear and anxiety reached a peak.

“Get out!!!”

He closed his eyes, trying to block out the anger of outsiders, wanting to leave, wanting to run away, but his whole body trembled visibly, without any strength.

His mind gradually blurred, and the child’s sharp taunts and malice echoed in his mind. The faces in his memory vaguely overlapped with the little boy on the ground, making it almost impossible to distinguish reality from illusion. His heart beat like a drum, his breathing was rapid and chaotic, and the whole world became distorted and blurred.

“Ah, is he a woman? And he goes to the men’s room, how disgusting!”

“Sissy! Why does a boy have long hair!”

“How annoying! Let’s lock him in the bathroom. If he likes the men’s room so much, let him stay there forever!”

“Why do people only bully you? Think about it, what’s a boy doing with such long hair?”

“Xiaoyi’s long hair is very beautiful, why cut it?”

“No.”

“If Xiaoyi secretly cuts his hair, I’ll be angry.”

“Sissy!”

Voices of different tones and inflections constantly swirled in his mind. The man looked gentle, but his hand was tightly pinching his arm, and the sharp pain from his arm was still vivid.

“What are you doing! Get out of the way!”

Gu Yusen saw the commotion as soon as he came in, his heart skipped a beat. He stuffed the roses in his pocket and rushed in.

Sure enough, Chu Zhaoyi was surrounded by a group of people, everyone was accusing him, and the child on the ground was crying heartbreakingly, piercing his ears.

His own kid leaned helplessly against the wall, only able to close his eyes tightly to block out the various insults.

Chu Zhaoyi’s condition was visibly poor, his whole body was trembling abnormally, his lips were terribly white, and the little braid he had specially made this morning had somehow fallen apart, covering his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

He was very grateful at this moment, grateful that Chu Zhaoyi hadn’t recovered his hearing yet…

Gu Yusen was furious, he put his own kid in his arms, and despite knowing that he couldn’t hear, he still softly comforted him.

“Ayi, Ayi, it’s okay, it’s okay, Brother Sanmu is here.”

“Ayi, it’s okay.”

But Chu Zhaoyi couldn’t hear, and his body was still trembling.

Gu Yusen reached out to touch Chu Zhaoyi’s pocket, his fingers fumbling around, finally finding the small medicine bottle. He nervously poured out a pill and put it into Chu Zhaoyi’s mouth, stroking the young man’s throat to try to make him swallow it.

Although he wasn’t sure if this medicine would work in time.

Damn it.

He should have seen the psychiatrist first.

Chu Zhaoyi was brought back to his senses a bit by Gu Yusen’s rough movements. When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Yusen’s face. The man who was always carefree and occasionally scolded him, now had a face full of anxiety and worry.

Chu Zhaoyi blinked, and after realizing that he was now being held in Gu Yusen’s arms, for some reason, the pathological trembling of his body slowly stopped.

His empty eyes slowly focused, finally landing on Gu Yusen’s face.

“Brother Sanmu…”

“I’m here, I’m here, are you feeling better?” Gu Yusen stroked Chu Zhaoyi’s back, worried that he would go into shock and be unable to breathe. Seeing that he had finally spoken, he reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Better,” Chu Zhaoyi’s hand quietly climbed onto Gu Yusen’s arm, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped onto the ground along his cheeks.

“This medicine is so effective?” Gu Yusen didn’t notice Chu Zhaoyi’s little movements, marveling at the miraculous effect of the medicine. It took effect as soon as it was swallowed, so amazing. Did it even reach the stomach yet?

Gu Yusen discarded the strange thoughts in his head and took out the red roses he had just bought from his pocket, placing them in the young man’s palm. The roses had been crumpled in his pocket for a while, and were no longer very fresh, even the branches had broken into two pieces, with a strand of silk barely connecting them in the middle.

Gu Yusen felt that the flowers were not presentable, so he simply broke them off, putting the head with the flower in the young man’s hand.

“These are your flowers. I’ll take you to buy some fresh ones later. You hold these first, and I’ll handle the situation, okay, Ayi?” Gu Yusen’s tone was very slow, trying to give Chu Zhaoyi enough time to understand what he was saying.

Although Chu Zhaoyi had just stabilized.

But it wasn’t good to have people surrounding them all the time.

He had to deal with it.

The young man was very well-behaved, taking the red roses and holding them in his palm, his attention completely focused on the flowers in his hand.

“Okay, Brother Sanmu.”

Perhaps it was because he had just recovered from extreme emotions, the young man was pitifully well-behaved.

Gu Yusen held Chu Zhaoyi’s hand with one hand, afraid to let go, turned around and talked to the child’s parents.

Chu Zhaoyi’s gaze remained on the flowers. From the moment Gu Yusen appeared, he didn’t care what the people around him were saying anymore, not even giving them a glance.

Even his mood instantly improved to an extreme.

Gu Yusen worked diligently to handle the matter.

In the distance, a figure watched this scene, his hands clenched tightly at his sides. Seeing Gu Yusen resolve the matter in a few words and the surrounding people slowly disperse,

He snorted coldly.
