Hua Hua convulsed as he stood in the yard, unsure whether to enter or leave.
His brows furrowed with worry, he looked up at the sky.
After a long while, when all the brothers had arrived, his troubled expression made the last to co, Yan Fengchi, shudder slightly: "What happened?"
Hua Hua obviously didn’t want to talk much, "Let’s go, Brother is waiting for us."
.....................
In the "Emperor’s" bedroom, Nan Baihao and Bai Wuqing were idly chatting. When Yan Fengchi and Hua Hua had both entered the room, they all pulled their chairs closer together, laughing and joking: "Bro, what did you want to talk to us about?"
"Chenxing, go to the door and close it."
Chenxing nodded: "I’ll stand guard for you guys."
Saying so, he walked out, leaving this private space to Shaocheng and his most trusted brothers.
After closing the door, Chenxing stood at the doorway, pulled out his phone, and casually scrolled through it, unwilling to show how upset he was. Shaocheng had said before that he didn’t want to see sadness in her eyes, he wanted her to smile for him, to bring him joy. She always felt it was so hard, oh so hard...
In the bedroom, Nan Baihao whistled in surprise: "Bro, what’s up? This secretive gathering?"
It wasn’t about being secretive, but not wanting outsiders to know.
Gu Shaocheng leaned tiredly back in his chair, his gaze sweeping over his brothers one by one.
Feeling powerless for the first ti in his life, such a challenge had left him utterly helpless.
"There’s sothing I’ve never told you, and if I don’t speak now, it might bring disaster upon you."
Upon hearing this, the brothers, each with a different expression, beca solemn.
Apart from Hua Hua, the other three exchanged glances, not understanding the aning of his words.
Nan Baihao adjusted his sitting posture and asked in confusion: "Bro, what is it? It sounds serious?"
"I’m ill, seriously ill."
With these words spoken, the weight that had been pressing down in his heart felt sowhat relieved.
Gu Shaocheng lifted his eyelids, his face carrying a hint of apology, as he deeply breathed in: "Lou Gehrig’s disease, the sa as my mom."
A blast rang through their heads, and suddenly, they were all stunned.
Their gazes shot towards him in disbelief.
In the room, silence fell, and even the sounds of breathing beca distinctly audible.
Nan Baihao dug his little finger into his ear, and after a long while, he was the first to laugh: "Bro, what did you say? I didn’t catch it, say it again."
"ALS, I was diagnosed back on the Lantern Festival, and I’ve been hiding it from you for over half a year, not wanting to worry you, but now the illness has progressed to a stage where I can no longer keep it concealed."
He slowly sighed, uttering wearied words: "My body is getting worse and worse."
"At first, it was just my hands occasionally becoming unresponsive, but lately even my legs have beco unresponsive. Sotis I walk and suddenly lose strength, my body no longer obeys my brain’s commands; I might beco unsteady or fall, that’s why I fell off the horse today."
"If the condition continues to deteriorate, maybe it won’t be long before I beco completely incapacitated." As he said the words ’completely incapacitated’, even he, as strong as he was, couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble, he clasped his forehead and closed his eyes.
