Gu Xiuyuan looked at Qin Chuan. He sent a message before coming, saying that he had something to say.

"What's up?"

"Have you heard about what happened with the Xia family?"

"Xia family?"

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You obviously don't know."

After Qin Chuan's story, Gu Xiuyuan learned that Xia's father had a pregnant woman, and word had reached Xia's mother. Eight months later, one dead, two dead. Xia had suffered a heart attack, and Xia's mother had been detained for intentional homicide.

"When did it happen?" Gu Xiuyuan frowned as he listened.

"You really just close the door of the ward and turn a deaf ear to what's happening outside." Qin Chuan laughed.

Even after being reminded by his friends, Gu Xiuyuan didn't think this was appropriate. He wanted to take action against the Xia family, but he wouldn't hurt innocent people.

If this was artificially caused, it would be too cruel.

"Okay, I understand."

…

In the next few days, Ji Shuyu went to the studio every day and went to the hospital after get off work in the evening to take care of Gu Xiuyuan.

But she still had little communication with him.

Not only that, there was an "uninvited guest" in his ward, a little boy named He Zichen.

Gu Xiuyuan looked at the child with a dark face, but he didn't seem to have the slightest awareness that he was unwelcome.

When Ji Shuyu got off work and entered the ward, she saw a child sitting on the sofa, shaking his short legs.

Seeing that the person he had been waiting for all day finally showed up, he immediately slid down from the sofa and rushed over with open arms, "Mommy~"

Gu Xiuyuan held his forehead with his hand. How come this kid is more annoying than He Yanzhi?

“…”

"Haohao, why are you here?" Ji Shuyu squatted down and he pounced on her.

"Daddy is not here and the housekeeper is taking a nap, so I sneaked out to find you!" He blinked his black eyes.

"Mommy, why do you only take care of my uncle and not Haohao?" He pouted, looking like he had suffered a lot of grievances.

"Uncle?" Ji Shuyu was puzzled.

Gu Xiuyuan almost vomited blood. As soon as he entered the door, he called him uncle. This child...

"Uncle Shen said that he is my uncle." Haohao said seriously, "Mommy, Haohao needs company when he is sick, can you accompany Haohao too~"

Gu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and secretly hated Shen Baiyao! !

The nurse pushed the door open and came in to change Gu Xiuyuan's dressing. She looked at the 'little star' in the ward and immediately laughed, "Haohao is here to see his mother again!"

"Yes, sister."

Who wouldn't like a pretty and sweet-mouthed child?

Gu Xiuyuan's expression became even uglier when he heard this.

Recently, almost all medical staff have tacitly acknowledged that they are a family, and even said that the child looks like his mother!

How could such an ugly child look like his Xiaoyu?

He really wants to flatter me, he dares to say anything!

He was angry and depressed, but he was powerless to change it, because he could see that Xiaoyu did not reject this child. With him around, she always had a smile on her face...

"But Haohao, you can't run around, otherwise your father will be angry." The nurse reminded.

"But I want to be with Mommy," he said, clasping his arms tightly.

At this time, the housekeeper came over and asked, "Young Master, why did you run out again?"

The old housekeeper was helpless and nodded slightly to Gu Xiuyuan, then came to Ji Shuyu and said, "Miss Ji, I'm so sorry to trouble you again."

"It's okay." Ji Shuyu shook her head.

"Young Master, let's go! The master will be here soon."

He Zichen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he took Ji Shuyu's finger and wanted to take her away, "Mommy~"

“Ah, hiss—”

Gu Xiuyuan cried out in pain, and Ji Shuyu looked up.

The nurse was so frightened that she retracted her hand, her face pale, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

Gu Xiuyuan looked at Ji Shuyu, his eyes unexpectedly showing some resentment, as if saying: Who are you here to take care of?

“…”

"Mommy~" Seeing that Mommy's attention was attracted away, the little guy cried again, "Mommy, Haohao's hand hurts, I need to breathe..."

What's going on with these two people?

Ji Shuyu was helpless and blew gently on the back of his little hand which was blue from hanging water.

"Haohao, be good and go back to the ward first, okay?" she coaxed.

She corrected herself several times about it not being Mommy's fault, but the little one was persistent, so she gave up.

If you can’t reason with a child, what else can you do?

Haohao pouted, somewhat unwilling, but afraid that if he wasn't well behaved, his mommy would dislike him.

So he nodded and white-knotted his little finger at her.

Ji Shuyu leaned over and the little guy kissed her on the cheek.

"Haohao, be obedient. Mommy will come to see me!" He said, holding the housekeeper's hand and reluctantly leaving. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Goodbye, uncle~"

Ji Shuyu touched her cheek and felt as if her chest was hit.

Gu Xiuyuan watched, and the thing he was worried about... seemed to have happened. He supported himself and tried to get up, but it hurt his wound and he let out a heavy "hiss".

Ji Shuyu came back to her senses, then stepped forward and asked, "Miss Nurse, how is he?"

"The wound isn't healing well," the nurse said, her face etched with irritation. With daily oral and injection treatments, how could the inflammation not subside? "I'll call the doctor later."

"Thank you for your help."

"It's okay." The young nurse changed the medicine and left quickly.

"How do you feel about the wound?" Ji Shuyu frowned slightly.

Gu Xiuyuan could see that she was not worried about his injury, but was anxious about "why he is not getting better yet". She wanted to end this care as soon as possible.

"It hurts a little." Gu Xiuyuan looked at his arm.

He tried to find a trace of 'heartache' on her face, but he seemed to have failed.

"I'll go back and see the doctor and try changing the medicine."

"No need!" Gu Xiuyuan hurriedly stopped him. Realizing that he had overreacted, he took back the words, "I mean, it will be fine in two days."

As he spoke, he looked at her expression.

In order to stay in the hospital for a few more days, he secretly threw away all his oral medications and ate some spicy food, which delayed the healing of his wounds.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. If she knew about this, she would definitely be angry.

"Are you tired?"

"No." Ji Shuyu didn't look at him.

What a cold-hearted little girl. Is it really that difficult to feel sorry for her?

It's completely different from her attitude towards that little bean.

"Xiaoyu, when I'm discharged from the hospital, you can move to another place!"

"No need, it's nice there. I'll take care of it myself next time." She looked at Gu Xiuyuan and said, "Have I not said thank you yet?"

“…”

"Thank you for what happened last time, but don't do that again."

Although it was late, she finally said this.

Ji Shuyu was sincerely reminding him not to put himself in danger like this, but Gu Xiuyuan felt that she wanted to draw a line between them.

…

evening

When Ji Shuyu went to the bathroom to get a clothes hanger, Gu Xiuyuan was struggling to squeeze the water out of the towel with one hand.

She went forward and took the towel. The water was hot, so...

Ji Shuyu looked at him, while Gu Xiuyuan looked embarrassed as if his thoughts were seen through.

His injury was on his arm, so naturally he couldn't take a bath and could only wipe his body every day.

He wasn't in a situation where he couldn't take care of himself, so he naturally didn't dare to trouble Ji Shuyu.

But now...

"My back is a little itchy." He looked at her pitifully.

Ji Shuyu glanced at him, then took a towel to wipe his back.

At first, Gu Xiuyuan really just wanted her to rub his back, but her hand accidentally brushed against his skin, and he gradually felt his body getting hot, and even the air seemed to be getting thinner...
