Chapter 60

作为亲自把陆止鸣送到方则心身边的人，莫呈川的反应异常平静，好像这事跟他完全没有任何关系，只是顺应关棠略显夸张的语气笑了笑。
“Haven't you noticed anything usual?” Guan Tang still found it hard to believe, “Is President Fang's way of pursuing someone really that special?”
Mo Cheng Chuan replied honestly, “Fang Zexin has always been the one who gets pursued.”
"But Lu Zhiming didn't pursue him."
"But Fang Zhexin has rich experience being pursued." Mo Chengchuan glanced at Guan Tang and said, "You need to ask Lu Zhiming what he did."
```htmlWhen Mo Chengchuan helped Guan Tang review his homework, and Guan Tang couldn't think of an answer for a moment, Mo Chengchuan would look at him with such eyes. It was as if with just a little hint, he should be able to figure it out.```
With just a glance from him, Guan Tang felt like her tailbone was about to break. How could this man's casual glance be so enchanting?
Mo Chengchuan drove the car without realizing that Guan Tang's thoughts had already run back and forth once before he continued speaking: "He just admires Fang Zexin a bit…" Here, his brain suddenly lit up, "Is Lu Zhiming gay?"
He had never thought about this before, but the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be true. Lu Zhiming insisted on studying abroad and not working in his hometown, had a good relationship with the opposite sex but seemed to have never really dated anyone, lived under the same roof as Guan Tang but had almost no physical contact, was overly courteous, and had never commented on girls like a normal straight guy or expressed a desire for the opposite sex... Even his excessively exquisite lifestyle has become one of the many suspicious points at this time.
Of course Guan Tang didn't know, but Mo Chengchuan from the beginning was willing to use any means necessary to get Lu Zhiming out of his room and didn't hesitate to be the first to reveal his intentions towards Guan Tang to Lu Zhiming, enticing him to become an excellent assistant.
要说当时真的就是指望陆止鸣给能他点什么助益，那莫呈川实在不是会把事情想得那样甜的人。他的潜台词不过就是宣誓主权，在潜在的危险面前做必要的示警，这才是他最拿手的东西。
It turned out that Guan Tang, who had truly lived with someone day and night, was so slow that she only realized when the person had started dating a man that her former roommate might be deeply closeted. And she knew nothing about everything that happened around her.
莫呈川对此习以为常，并保持着最寻常的沉默。
关棠八卦了半天，等到车都拐进莫家门前那条正街了，才想起自己这是在接谁，顿时又紧张起来：“你等下得护着我。”
"How can I protect?" Mo Chengchuan naturally took the bait.
"If I and your mother fell into the water at the same time, you should save your mother first," Guan Tang glared at Mo Chengchuan rarelly.
Meng Chengchuan is a person who is very stingy in expressing emotions. Guan Tang also once doubted his feelings towards herself, as he always seemed indifferent and could do without her. It wasn't until she witnessed the way Meng Chengchuan interacted with his mother, Professor Mo, that Guan Tang finally realized the obvious intimacy he had towards her. However, in this comparison, Guan Tang easily felt a sense of guilt that was hard to digest.
Mochengchuan didn't seem to expect to hear such words. He paused momentarily, but it didn't prevent him from stopping the car and taking out his phone to call someone downstairs.
Guantang snatched his phone with one hand and pressed against him closely, saying in a half threatening and half educational tone, "Go knock on the door."
His earnest and cute appearance with clenched teeth and claws made Mo Chengchuan rub his head and hold the back of his neck, feeling the urge to kiss him but realizing it was inappropriate. Instead, he just said, "Don't be nervous."
Guantang thought that Mo Chengchuan didn't want to go up, and her eyes widened: "Hey, you have to..."
Mo Chengchuan made a sound of agreement and asked, "Have to what?"
"...You have to protect me." Guan Tang said with a despondent tone. Today is Mo Chengchuan's birthday, he has to take a step back and not be too harsh on people.
Mo Chengchuan smiled and didn't say anything. He got off the car and went upstairs with Guan Tang to knock on Professor Mo's door, taking the person to visit the old lady together.
Later, Guantang couldn't help but recall the words he said to Mo Chengchuan, feeling that those words brought bad luck; she shouldn't have said such ominous things.
While they were normally turning on the road, a car suddenly rushed in from the right side. Mo Chengchuan instinctively turned the steering wheel, shielding Guantang behind him, and crashed the driver's seat into it. His whole body slammed against the airbag, and for a moment, he lost all consciousness, feeling nothing at all. Yet he was clearly aware that he was in a state of unconsciousness; his eyes couldn't open, his ears couldn't hear, and his whole body felt completely out of control.
Only in the last moment did he futilely try to grab Guan Tang's hand.
Professor Mo sat in the back and saw this clearly.
Guan Tang was stunned for a few seconds after being hit. When he came to, he saw that Mo Chengchuan was still motionless in his airbag, so he called out Mo Chengchuan’s name, but there was no response. This was the craziest thing Guan Tang had ever done in his life.
He trembled and called 120, taking deep breaths to barely manage to speak, but in the end, it was Professor Mo who took the call.
In the meantime, the traffic police came over to mediate, saying that the other party saw the red light and meant to step on the brakes, but accidentally stepped on the gas instead.
Guāntáng didn't even bother to listen; after a while, he lost control and shouted, "Let him die!" He didn't even know how he could say such a thing, but in that moment, he was indeed overwhelmed by an unbearable hatred that crushed all his willpower.
There were passers-by gathering around gradually, making a buzzing noise, but Guan Tang's heart and eyes were only on that motionless figure. The extreme emotional breakdown almost blinded him, and he couldn't see the details clearly, but even the vague outline was terrifyingly familiar.
Professor Mo supported Guan Tang and said, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."
The ambulance actually arrived very quickly, but Guan Tang felt like it was the longest wait ever.
The doctor examined him and instructed the stretcher-bearers to carry him to the vehicle. The nurse asked Guantang, "You can only bring one family member. What is your relation to him?"
Guantang was momentarily speechless: "I..."
“He is his lover.” Professor Mo said, then pushed Guan Tang into the car, "Go quickly."
Guan Tang was pushed forward half a step, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes, but he said, "No, Auntie, you go up. I... I'll be right back."
The person has been lifted onto the car, and the nurse urged, "Hurry up."
Professor Mo glanced at Guan Tang, didn't say anything else, and got on the car.
The ambulance drove away, and Guan Tang stood still for a while. The policeman next to her came over and said, "Let's go. I'll take you some way."
Li Guantang came back to his senses, wiped her face and tiredly said, "Thank you."
"A lot of people seemed to have recorded it." The traffic police reminded her on the way.
At this moment, Guan Tang's mind was extremely slow. She looked at the traffic police and realized what he meant. Many people recognized Mo Chengchuan, and he probably recognized her too, so that's why he reminded her.
Guantang nodded and then said, "Today is his birthday." He didn't know why he said this, and the traffic police officer was clearly taken aback. It was not appropriate to say "Happy Birthday" at this point, so he said, "He will be alright."
When Guan Tang arrived at the hospital, the media was swarming in. The hospital staff, unaware of Guan Tang's identity, wouldn't let him in. It was then that Guan Tang realized he didn't have Professor Mo's phone number. He was so anxious that he almost tore his clothes off to show them, proving that he had spent the night with Mo Chengchuan, sharing the same bed. This was all the evidence he needed; if they didn't believe him, they could verify it.
Finally, Professor Mo called him and said that Mo Chengchuan had woken up and was looking for him. Mo Chengchuan couldn't remember what had happened, but he heard that he had a car accident with Guan Tang and immediately wanted to find someone.
Questioned Guan Tang, "Is he OK?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet and we're still waiting for test results. But the fact that he's awake is good news." There was a momentary pause on the other end before someone else spoke: "Guan Tang."
Guantang couldn't hold back anymore, crying as she rushed towards the hospital room: "I want to marry you, Mo Chengchuan. As soon as you get better, we'll get married right away! The kind with a certificate!"
Mu Chengchuan seemed to smile and said, "Okay."
Finally, the results came out, fortunately it was only a concussion. Tong Linfang and his team came over to take a look, saw that the person was fine, and didn't disturb them any further.
Professor Mo said he wanted to visit the old lady, but he was afraid that she might be angry if she didn't see anyone.
Guan Tang stayed in the ward to accompany the patient.
After the nurse made her rounds, Mo Chengchuan lifted the covers and Guan Tang obediently climbed up onto the bed.
Mochengchuan's consciousness and spirit were not very good. This birthday could be said to be extremely bad. He still had a bit of tinnitus and nausea, but holding onto Guantang, he felt that it was not so bad.
Today, Professor Mo told him that when she retires, she would invite the old lady to come live with them and hire a caregiver to help take care of her. She said, “I am old too, and after retirement, it would be nice to spend time reminiscing with the old lady. You two should treasure each other well.” Mo Chengchuan realized that Professor Mo was missing his father.
This is rare. She hardly ever mentions her father in front of him.
As far as Mo Chengchuan knows, even though they have been divorced for a long time, there was still an old photo of the two of them taken when they were dating in her father's wallet when he passed away. In contrast, Professor Mo seemed quite indifferent.
Guantang always said that the mother and son were very similar. Mo Chengchuan seemed to catch a glimpse of something unspoken from the secretive term "old friend." This was something he had never experienced before; he was able to resonate with Professor Mo on an emotional level rather than a rational one.
After a while, Mo Chengchuan finally realized that Guan Tang was crying. He cried silently, and this was the second time Mo Chengchuan had seen him cry like this; the first time was when they broke up.
Mo Chengchuan collected his thoughts and hugged him, softly saying: "It's okay, why cry?"
Guan Tang also didn’t expect the grievances in his heart to surge up again, and gloomily said: "We need to get married."
"Okay."
"Everyone should know about our relationship."
"Okay."
"Hold me tighter."
"Is this possible?"
"I think I got my snot on your clothes."
"It's okay."
Guantang sniffed and felt a little better, and could chat with Mo Chengchuan again: "What are you thinking about? When you were unconscious, when you woke up, what were you thinking about?"
Mo Chengchuan was silent for a while, and Guan Tang didn't urge him; the two stayed together, their breaths merging in the dark night.
“I don’t remember anything about the coma. When I woke up, my mom told me you were very anxious. I thought, so we didn't break up after all?” Mo Chengchuan's voice was soft and hoarse, “You still can’t bear to break up with me.”
Guantang's eyes turned red again, and she held Mo Chengchuan a little tighter: "Yes, we didn't break up, I can't bear to break up with you."
"Why have you become so prone to crying?" Mo Chengchuan heard her sniffles, "Don't cry."
"I just cried."
Mengcheng Mo's memory was chaotic, but he still remembered the way Guan Tang cried with his back to him, making him feel ashamed and helpless. He thought they were finished at that time.
He did what he had always wanted to do and reached out to wipe the tears from Guan Tang's eyes. It was too dark to see at night, so he used his fingertips to carefully wipe away the tears. When there was nothing left to wipe away, he finally said, "I love you."
Guantang chuckled and said, "I already told you."
"Told me what?" Mo Chengchuan couldn't remember and thought it was impossible.
"Yesterday evening," Guantang teased, "when you were trying to get me into bed."
Meng Chengchuan hummed lightly, "Don't trust what's said in bed. This time it's for real."
"But we're still in bed now, aren't we?"
"Not the same."
Where is the difference?
Meng Chengchuan reached over and pinched Guan Tang's waist. "Can you tell the difference?"
Sure, here is the translation of the provided text into English, keeping the original HTML tags:```htmlGuantang shuddered, shrinking into the quilt: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? The doctor told you to rest early!"
Mochengchuan's movement made the dizziness even stronger, forcing him to slow down his breathing with his eyes closed. Guantang realized something was wrong, stuck her head out, and stroked his chest with her hand, one after another, until someone grabbed her hand.```
"Go to sleep." Mo Chengchuan pressed Guan Tang's hand against his chest and stopped moving.
"Hmm, goodnight." Guan Tang slightly sat up and gave Mo Chengchuan a peck on the cheek.
The outside world has already been in chaos, but these two are oblivious, and no one dares to inform them. Zero Heart officially released a statement saying that Mo Chengchuan is not in serious condition, but declined to comment on personal matters. As a result, various speculations have been rampant, with phrases like "Mo Chengchuan gets married" and "Mo Chengchuan is gay" dominating the trending searches.
Recently, the entertainment industry seems too peaceful, which kept Mo Chengchuan on the hot search for several days. However, Mo Chengchuan never replied, and everyone just kept rehashing the news for a few days until it gradually faded away.
Until one day, Mo Chengchuan finally posted a message on social media: "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you." The image was a pair of men's rings.
This style is very different from Mo Chengchuan's usual style. Some even suspect that Mo Chengchuan's account was hacked. Later, Mo Chengchuan posted again with very simple words: "Married. Male. Symmetrical name."
