Ji Shuyu sent a message to Mu Ran, telling her that she had found the work and asking her to celebrate with her when she was free.

In order to avoid meeting "friends" at the party, the girl ran away early and there has been no news of her since then. No one knows where she ran off to.

Hospital

When Ji Shuyu passed by, Gu Xiuwen was struggling to reach the water cup.

"Brother Xiuwen." She stepped forward quickly, "Why are you alone? Where are you protecting me?"

Gu Xiuwen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Chudian called."

Ji Shuyu frowned, looking at his lips that were dry and chapped, she knew that he had never been well taken care of.

It was he who shouldn't have believed Gu Xiuyuan's words. He had disliked Gu Xiuwen since he was a child. How could he expect someone to take care of him seriously?

"Sorry, I was late because I had to check my work." She took the water cup and handed it to him.

"What are you talking about?" He laughed. "Is your work going well?"

"Yeah." She nodded happily. "It's good."

"Congratulations, our Xiaoyu has finally entered society." Seeing her smile, Gu Xiuwen also smiled. "When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll buy you a gift to celebrate."

“Didn’t you send…”

Ji Shuyu paused as she spoke. The gift was thrown away by Gu Xiuyuan, and he must have seen it.

Gu Xiuwen was a little embarrassed for a moment, but soon smiled, and Ji Shuyu also changed the subject.

"Let's eat! I just bought some, I don't know if you like it."

Gu Xiuwen injured his arm, so Ji Shuyu fed him little by little.

"Xiao Yu, just use a spoon." Gu Xiuwen was a little embarrassed. "How could I let you do such a thing!"

"It's just a small matter." Ji Shuyu said seriously, "Besides, you were injured because you saved me. I should do anything for you."

Gu Xiuwen was obviously stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

"I'm just worried that Xiuyuan will be unhappy..."

Ji Shuyu paused slightly, without saying anything, but also without stopping his actions.

She had already given in too much because of his 'unhappiness' and would not do that again.

She took care of Gu Xiuwen while he had lunch, and chatted with him for a while until she left in the afternoon.

"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuwen held her.

"Um?"

"You should smile more."

Ji Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."

…

It was already afternoon when he arrived at Yu Garden. As soon as Ji Shuyu entered the door, he went straight into the study, took out all the design drafts he had made in the past, and sorted them out.

Because of that "appreciation", she felt that her whole body was full of strength.

Gu Xiuwen sent a message: Congratulations on finding a job, I believe you can do it.

Ji Shuyu looked at him and smiled. This "belief" was also very meaningful to her.

night

Gu Xiuyuan came in from outside, exhausted.

He had been in a meeting all day, and he had been distracted the whole time, with the same thought in his mind: non-interference.

All I could think about was how serious Ji Shuyu looked when she said this.

She didn't seem to be saying this casually.

The lights were on in the living room. When he pushed the door open, he heard laughter and a scent...

His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he took two steps at a time.

He saw Ji Shuyu and his aunt in the kitchen. He didn't know what his aunt said, but she smiled again.

He hadn't seen this scene for a long time.

In the past, at this time, as long as he made a sound, the little girl in the kitchen would run out and throw herself into his arms.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to speak out. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, her smile would disappear...

He steadied his breathing, walked across the door, and subconsciously made his steps very light, for fear that any big movement would shatter the scene before him.

Hearing footsteps, Ji Shuyu nodded.

As soon as she saw him, her smile slowly disappeared, and then she even looked away.

"Hello first." Auntie greeted and then quietly left.

Gu Xiuyuan came closer and saw that the food was already on the table. It looked like there were some extra dishes, and she seemed to be in a... very good mood.

"It smells so good." He smiled and walked forward, trying to dispel the awkwardness between them.

He believed that if he explained the matter, she would forgive him.

She would never really be mad at him.

Ji Shuyu said nothing, trying hard to divert her attention and pour the soup stewed by her aunt into the thermos.

Her hands were shaking. The sound of "It smells good" was like an invisible hand, tugging at her heart. She seemed to see her humble past again.

In the past, after any unpleasantness, as long as he showed his willingness to make peace, she would go down the stairs.

Just like just now, as long as she said "I'm coming", they would be back to normal.

Is that what he thinks in his heart?

As long as he smiled a little, she would rush over to him eagerly, and then pretend that nothing unpleasant had happened and continue to indulge in that false sweet day.

She didn't say anything, and Gu Xiuyuan stepped forward.

Just as he was about to speak, he received a WeChat message.

He looked at her, and the eyes that were full of tenderness a moment ago were instantly filled with anger.

Ji Shuyu didn't notice it, she just placed an order through Shansong from her mobile phone, and then edited the message and sent it out.

"Where have you been today?" He took a step forward.

Ji Shuyu ignored him and reached out to pick up the lid of the thermos.

"I'm asking you a question!"

He approached and stared at her fiercely, his gaze so sharp that it seemed as if he wanted to penetrate her body.

Ji Shuyu ignored him and pulled her arm, forcing her to face him. "Ji Shuyu, let me ask you one more time..."

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Gu Xiuyuan was stunned. He didn't expect to get such a cold answer.

He looked at the almost empty soup pot and then at the thermos on the stove.

"Did you make this soup for Gu Xiuwen?" He stared at her closely, his breathing a little unstable.

Ji Shuyu looked at him without answering, but that funny look hurt him deeply.

"So, you told me that we shouldn't interfere with each other, is it because of this?!" He held the phone in front of her, and it seemed that every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.

On the message interface was a photo of her in Gu Xiuwen’s ward!

Ji Shuyu instantly flew into a rage. "You're following me!"

"I'm asking you, is it because of him?!" His cold and angry voice suppressed Ji Shuyu's shout.

Ji Shuyu took a deep breath and calmed herself down, not wanting to argue with him about this.

At this moment, the cell phone on the stove dinged, and he picked it up first.

WeChat message from: Brother Xiu Wen.

Looking at those three words, Gu Xiuyuan's face turned pale with anger, and he untied the ton code casually.

"Gu Xiuyuan, what are you doing? Give it back to me." Ji Shuyu stretched out her hand to grab it, but didn't see a single particle.

He saw the news of Gu Xiuwen's recovery and looked at the man: Congratulations on finding a job, I believe you can do it.

"Congratulations on finding a job?" He held the phone tightly and looked at Ji Shuyu, his breath tinged with anger.

Why did Gu Xiuwen know so much about something that he didn't even know?

Believe her?!

"What does this mean, huh?" He held up her phone. "Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"

He stared at her closely, a storm rising in his eyes...
