When Gu Xiuyuan hurried back after receiving the call, Ji Shuyu was looking inside anxiously through the glass door, crying in anxiety.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Gu Xiuyuan walked forward quickly.

"Xiuyuan, grandma, grandma..." She pointed helplessly towards the ward. "She keeps coughing, keeps coughing..." Her hands, clutching his collar, were shaking, and she could barely speak clearly.

"It's okay, it's okay, grandma will be fine."

Grandma doesn't usually have a coughing problem, so why did she suddenly start coughing non-stop?

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made her anxious. It's all my fault."

Her face was covered with tears, just as panicked and helpless as when she was waiting for the ambulance that night.

She cried and held her grandmother's hand, begging her not to get hurt. She said...Grandma, you are all I have.

Thinking of her broken and helpless voice, Gu Xiuyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

This emotion seemed like a stranger, but also like...sometimes in a dream at midnight, it had come to me...

"Grandma will be fine!" He hugged the trembling little girl in his arms and stroked her hair gently.

As soon as the door of the ward opened, Ji Shuyu rushed to the doctor.

"Doctor, how is my grandma?"

"Don't worry! The old lady is fine, she's just a little emotionally unstable. Just be careful not to irritate her in the future."

"Thank you, thank you." Ji Shuyu said as she rushed into the ward and threw herself beside the bed. "Grandma..."

Bai Shulan's breathing had stabilized at this time, but her face looked a little unwell.

"Grandma, how are you?" Ji Shuyu held the old woman's hand. "I'm sorry for making you worry." She sobbed, "It's all my fault for being willful and throwing a tantrum. I won't say those words again."

"Hmm?" The frail old man finally regained some energy.

Seeing this, Ji Shuyu quickly wiped away her tears and promised, "I will never lose my temper again." She leaned over and hugged the old woman. "Grandma, I will never make you worry again. I'm sorry."

"What are you saying sorry for? Ahem..." Bai Shulan stroked her hair gently, her eyes full of heartache. "Xiaoyu, grandma just wants you to be happy."

The old man sighed softly, as if he had something left to say.

Ji Shuyu was so worried that she didn't notice anything, but Gu Xiuyuan on the side saw it clearly. His grandmother didn't seem to be irritated at all and was coughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.

…

Because of her grandmother's mood, Ji Shuyu no longer hides from Gu Xiuyuan in front of her.

Xia Mei and Gu Bin visited her in the hospital every day. Although she had a bad temper, she was really caring and filial to her mother-in-law. Gu Bin was also moved when he saw her.

As proud as Xia Mei is, she doesn't seem satisfied or happy with this "touching" feeling.

Ji Shuyu didn't like being with them, so when they were around, she usually found an excuse to go out.

That day, she left the ward on the pretext of making a phone call. As soon as she hung up, she saw a familiar figure at the door.

When she saw who was coming, she couldn't help but exclaimed...

"Brother Xiu?"

Ji Shuyu's face was full of shock.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xiu'er, whose face was originally full of loss, showed a relaxed smile.

"Xiaoyu, long time no see."

His smile was as gentle as it had been four years ago.

At this moment, he was standing in front of her, and Ji Shuyu felt as if she was still the same as when he came to say goodbye four years ago.

"When did you come back to see grandma?" She glanced into the ward and suddenly felt a little worried.

Although Gu Xiu is also the son of the Gu family, he has never been liked by Gu Bin, and Xia Mei treats him even worse.

For so many years, his situation was awkward and his life was not easy. It was known to the outside world that his status was even lower than that of the children adopted by the Gu family from the orphanage.

"I know!" Seeing her worry, Gu Xiuxun quickly explained. "I just came to see you. Knowing that grandma is okay, I feel relieved."

He said as he glanced inside again, unable to hide his disappointment.

Ji Shuyu looked at him with some reluctance, "How about you wait a moment, later..."

"No." He quickly shook his head. "They probably don't like me coming, so I shouldn't make everyone unhappy."

He said this, slowly lowering his head.

Ji Shuyu pursed her lips. "Well, I'll tell Grandma you were here later." That was all she could do. "I'll also deliver the fruit basket for you."

She tried her best to comfort him.

"Thank you." The gratitude in his smiling eyes made Ji Shuyu feel a little hurt.

He has always lived carefully, but has never been let go.

It's obviously not his fault...

Gu Xiu paused for a moment, then hesitantly took out a box from his trouser pocket.

"I remember when I left, he seemed to have promised to give you a graduation present."

Ji Shuyu was stunned for a moment. Remember?

"I had an accident over there and forgot some things, so..." He laughed.

Now, Ji Shuyu finally knew what was strange.

She quickly reached out to take it, opened it, and found a brooch inside.

"It's so beautiful." She praised with a smile.

"I don't usually get the chance to see you, so I brought you here." He smiled. "Xiaoyu, happy graduation."

"Thank you." Ji Shuyu smiled. "Welcome back..." She extended her hand.

As soon as Gu Xiuyuan came out of the elevator, he saw two people at the door of the ward.

In an instant, Gu Xiuyuan frowned.

He took a few steps forward and pulled Ji Shuyu, who had just smiled at someone with her eyes curved, to his side.

Gu Xiuyuan's hand was empty. Seeing Ji Shuyu being pulled and swaying, he pretended to reach out to help her, but was met with Gu Xiuyuan's cold stare.

"..." Gu Xiu withdrew his hand awkwardly, silently stepped back a little, and put some distance between himself and Ji Shuyu.

Ji Shuyu frowned at Gu Xiuyuan. What was he doing?

She looked at Gu Xiuyu apologetically, but he gave her a reassuring smile, saying that he was fine, and then whispered: I'm leaving.

Ji Shuyu nodded and chuckled, "Slow down."

Looking at the two people who acted as if no one was around, Gu Xiuyuan frowned even more tightly.

Looking at the box in Ji Shuyu's hand, he snatched it and threw it into the trash can.

"What are you doing?!"

Ji Shu, already dissatisfied with Gu Xiuyuan's attitude, flew into a rage. What did he mean by throwing someone's gift? It was so humiliating.

"Is my Gu family bankrupt? Do we need you to wear such a cheap thing?" he said coldly.

"It's not for you." She was annoyed and shook off his hand to take the gift back.

Seeing the anger rising, Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her wrist and dragged her directly into the ward, and ordered her, "Pick up the garbage outside!"

"you……"

Ji Shu's tone was hesitant, but she couldn't match his strength.

The aunt responded and quickly asked the cleaner to clean up the trash can.

She had just seen that person and understood the young master's anger.

Ever since he was young, he didn't like Gu Xiu'er getting close to Miss Shu Yu.

Oh, and it's not just Gu Xiu, he doesn't like any man who is "warm" to Miss Ji Shuyu...
