Reborn as a petite ex-uncle

Chapter 840

Su Mi has never seen Gu Qingruo like this.

She is usually in front of outsiders, so calm, cold, so high-mountain flower,

This is the first time I saw her cry.

As if, she and Professor Liu have a really good mentorship.

Professor Liu is also Gu Qingruo's rare elder in this world who can give her affection.

On the hospital bed, Professor Liu became as thin as a handful of dry wood, with various tubes inserted in his mouth and throat, connected to medical equipment, so as to maintain the last weak fire of life.

Su Mi hadn't seen Professor Liu in person before she changed the reality, but she had seen the photos, and Huo Shenxiu also greeted him through the video once when he had a video call with the other party.

Professor Liu also had cancer at that time, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Because Huo Shenxiu was also seriously ill at that time, Professor Liu did not propose to go to Tancheng to recuperate in his last days, and finally passed away in North America, accompanied by Gu Qingruo.

Seeing that the old man in front of her was dying, like a dying candle in the wind, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Gu Qingruo stood up: "Second master is here... I'm bothering you so late."

As soon as the words fell, but because of lack of energy, his body was on the verge of falling, and he leaned forward, almost slamming into the fence beside the hospital bed.

Huo Shenxiu grabbed her arm. .

Gu Qingruo stood firm, with a pale face, and evenly breathed: "I'm sorry."

At this time, Su Mi didn't want Gu Qingruo to compete, so she just said, "Doctor Gu, go and have a rest."

"Well, you've either been in the research room or by the professor's bed these days. You're exhausted. Go to sleep." Huo Shenxiu also glanced at the sofa next to him.

Gu Qingruo glanced at the old man on the sickbed, and tears suddenly flowed out: "I can't sleep."

Su Mi said: "If Dr. Gu is exhausted, how will he take care of Professor Liu in the future? We are here, and we will call you if there is anything wrong."

There is no way to refute this, Gu Qingruo glanced at Su Mi quietly with tears in her eyes, her tone couldn't tell her true intentions: "Then there will be Miss Lao Su and Second Master."

With that said, he sat on the sofa in the corner of the ward for the escort to rest.

Huo Shenxiu and Su Mi sat beside the hospital bed.

When Professor Liu heard the movement, he opened his cloudy eyes and saw Huo Shenxiu, with a gratified smile on his shriveled face tortured by the illness, and tremblingly burst out:

"Second Master is here..."

Gu Qingruo had already rested her chin, closed her eyes and closed her eyes, and when she saw the teacher woke up, she hurried over,

Huo Shenxiu bowed his neck and said in a deep voice, "We are all here."

I don't know if it's a flashback, but at this moment, Professor Liu is actually in good spirits, and his voice is a bit high: "With you coming to see me off for the last time, my wish is enough..."

"Professor, don't say that. It's not so far."

Professor Liu gasped for a few moments, his eyes were lonely, he was clearly aware that his lifespan was over: "It's okay, life and death are fate. I have lived for such a long time, I have enough money, the only thing I can't let go..."

Slowly moving her head and neck, she looked at Gu Qingruo who had flushed eyes and tears:

"The only thing I can't let go of is this child."

Gu Qingruo burst into tears: "Teacher, you don't have to worry about me..."

Professor Liu stared at her lovingly, just like looking at his own daughter, then turned his head with difficulty, looking at Huo Shenxiu:

"My late wife and I are DINK, and we have no children in this life, so we have always treated Qingruo like a daughter."

"Qing Ruo is also a hard-working person. Her parents left when she was young, and she grew up in a relative's house. It is estimated that her temperament has become colder, but she is still a good person. After studying medicine, she worshiped me as a student. It took a lot of hard work to get where I am today.”

"For a long time, she devoted herself to studying medicine, and she didn't even have a friend, let alone someone who could take care of her."

"As soon as I leave, there will be no one close to her..."

"Every time I think about this, I feel uneasy..."

"Don't look at Qingruo's calm appearance, as if nothing matters, in fact, as her teacher, I know very well that she is also an ordinary girl who needs protection and care."

"When I think that after I leave, she will lose even a caring person, and my heart aches."

When Su Mi heard this, a premonition arose in her heart.

Sure enough, Professor Liu tremblingly raised his hand towards Huo Shenxiu.

Huo Shenxiu curled his skinny hands.

Professor Liu took a few breaths, and said, "Second Master, please take care of me... When I'm gone, take good care of Qingruo, okay?"

Huo Shenxiu was held tightly by the old professor, his face moved slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.

Professor Liu clenched his hand persistently, waiting for an answer.

The air was eerily silent.

Until Gu Qingruo cried and leaned over, tightly holding the teacher's other hand: "Teacher, stop talking. I don't need others to take care of me..."

Professor Liu ignored her, and still watched Huo Shenxiu closely.

Don't wait for an answer, never give up.

Even though the dying old man's mind is not clear, he still understands in his heart——

Only a man with status and power like Huo Shenxiu can take good care of his most valued student on his behalf.

Huo Shenxiu saw the old professor's yellow eyes gradually drained of vitality, filled with tears, full of expectation and pleading, and finally said:

"I will."

Professor Liu's tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and the eyes were replaced by gratification and satisfaction:

"Okay, okay. Qingruo will entrust it to you. Thank you, Second Master."

Su Mi's eyelids moved and she didn't say anything.

It's just that the fingertips can't help hooking into the palm.

But there is no feeling, no pain, no itching.

……

I don't know if the last wish came true, Professor Liu was exhausted after that, he didn't speak anymore, and closed his eyes that lost his spirit.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that he died suddenly.

All the physiological indicators on the instrument turned into a straight line.

Gu Qingruo was the first to cry out loudly, and threw herself down in front of the sick bed again:

"teacher--

Huo Shenxiu rang the bedside bell.

The doctor came in, and after some examinations, he announced the time of death in a heavy voice, and said to Gu Qingruo and Huo Shenxiu:

"Please grief."

Then he ordered the nurses to push the old man's body to the morgue.

Huo Shenxiu glanced at Gu Qingruo, who was crying faintly and overwhelmed with grief, and then at the doctor.

The doctor understood, and ordered the nurse: "Take Dr. Gu to the next ward to rest for a while. Give a sedative."

After the nurse helped Gu Qingruo, who was blue-faced and pale-lipped, to leave, Huo Shenxiu looked at Su Mi again: "I'll take care of Professor Liu's affairs. You go downstairs first, and let the driver take you back first."

Su Mi signaled not to worry about herself, and followed Huo Shenxiu out, and sat on the bench in the corridor after the group walked away.

In the early morning of the hospital, it was eerily quiet, and time seemed to pass very slowly.

But the most tormenting thing is still thinking about Professor Liu's deathbed entrustment just now.

Although intellectually, she understands——

It is human nature for Professor Liu to hand over his lover to Huo Shenxiu on his deathbed.

It was impossible for Huo Shenxiu to refuse the request of a dying man at a time like this.

She should understand.

Are you going to be angry with someone who has passed away?

But in my heart, I still don't feel like it.

From then on, if it wasn't for this incident, Gu Qing would have had a better chance of pestering Huo Shenxiu?

After watching all night, unconsciously, exhaustion surged up.

She closed her eyes, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep.

She didn't open her eyes until her fingers were itchy and someone woke her up——
