In the afternoon, Gu Lubo's demands on Gu Rongqi became even more excessive.

When we pushed him out to the garden to relax, he complained that the path Gu Rongqi was pushing him on was uneven, and that the rustling of the leaves was giving him a headache.

But he also chose this path, and now it's the season for leaves to fall. If you want the ground to be free of leaves, you'd have to cut down all the trees in the garden.

Gu Rongqi said he would go back, but he wouldn't. However, if the sound of the leaves being crushed was too loud, he would accuse Gu Rongqi of doing it on purpose.

Cheng Qicai and Gu Liji exchanged glances from behind, both of them speechless at Gu Lubo's unreasonable behavior.

Gu Rongqi is truly a capable person to maintain such a calm and composed mindset.

Just as Gu Lubo said he had a headache, Cheng Qicai also felt a headache. She saw the cleaning lady not far away, and on a whim, she asked her for a broom.

She ran in front of Gulubo, grabbed a large broom and swept the ground vigorously twice, clearing a clean path of fallen leaves to the sides.

The leaves were too light, and Cheng Qicai's movements were too big. The leaves went to the sides, but some of the flying leaves also fell onto Gu Lubai.

Cheng Qicai looked at the leaves on the cypress tree, paused, and then reached out to take them off. "I'm sorry, Uncle, I used too much force. I'll control myself later."

Gulubo frowned, brushing the withered leaves off his clothes, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. "What are you doing?"

“Uncle, didn’t you say that the sound of leaves being crushed gives you a headache? I swept them away for you, so your wheelchair won’t make any noise when it passes by.” Cheng Qicai said, looking like she was thinking of him.

Gulubo: "..."

Gu Rongqi and Gu Liji laughed in hushed tones behind them.

Cheng Qicai continued sweeping forward, "Gu Rongqi, slow down, I can't sweep as fast as you."

Gu Rongqi stopped, waited for Cheng Qicai to finish sweeping one section, then moved forward a little more, swept another section, and moved forward a little more...

At this snail's pace, who knows how long it will take to sweep this path as I walk?

Although Cheng Qicai's force was much lighter, one or two leaves still veered off course and drifted toward Gu Lubai.

After picking off another leaf from his body, Gulubo gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough, let's go back."

At this point, his face had turned ashen.

Hearing that Gu Lubo was going back, Cheng Qicai returned the broom to the cleaning lady.

As the two walked behind, he leaned close to Cheng Qicai and whispered, "Aren't you afraid my uncle will dislike you even more for doing this?"

"It's okay, he doesn't like it anyway, so a little more won't hurt. If my uncle scolds me or something, your brother is here, isn't he?"

Cheng Qicai felt that with Gu Lubo's stubborn temperament, she would probably have to wait until the next life for him to like her.

"You're really optimistic!"

Cheng Qicai pouted, "It's already like this, there's nothing we can do about it."

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

Cheng Qicai took out her phone and saw that it was Ms. Yun calling. She answered, "Hello, Mom!"

“Are you home? Your grandfather sent you persimmons again this year, so I brought some over for you and Xiaoqi.”

"No, we're at the hospital. Gu Rongqi's father fell down."

"Oh? How badly did he fall?" Ms. Yun asked anxiously. "Then your dad and I will come and visit Xiao Qi's father."

"No..." Cheng Qicai quickly stopped her.

"Send me your address, and your dad and I will pack up and come over."

"No, Mom, let me ask her."

"What are you asking? Since you're talking to Xiao Qi, you should at least show some courtesy. His dad fell, how can we not come and see him? Send me the address..."

Not hearing Cheng Qicai's reply, Ms. Yun raised her voice and asked, "Did you hear me?"

“I heard you,” Cheng Qicai pursed her lips and said quickly, “I’ll tell you after I ask.”

She hung up the phone and looked at Gu Rongqi, who turned to look at her.

The environment was quiet, and Cheng Qicai's voice on the phone was exceptionally clear, so everyone present heard it without her having to repeat it.

Cheng Qicai didn't want Ms. Yun to come; their situation was simply not suitable for their parents to meet.

They'll just cause a lot of trouble if they come; we can't even talk to each other.

But Ms. Yun's attitude toward coming was so firm that Cheng Qicai couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

When they were alone, Cheng Qicai sidled up to Gu Rongqi and asked worriedly, "How should I refuse my mom?"

Gu Rongqi also felt that this problem was a bit tricky. Gu Lubo would definitely not be enthusiastic about Ms. Yun, but if Ms. Yun and her group did not come, she would definitely be dissatisfied with him.

The two remained silent when Cheng Qicai's phone rang again.

She didn't answer; the call ended automatically. Soon after, a message from Ms. Yun arrived.

At this moment, the phone felt like a hot potato, and Cheng Qicai wished she could throw it away.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have said I was in the hospital," Cheng Qicai wailed, grabbing her hair.

Gu Rongqi pulled her hand away from her hair. "I'll go talk to my dad."

Cheng Qicai said pessimistically, "This is no use. I don't think your dad will agree no matter what."

"I'll go talk to them," Gu Rongqi said, patting her hand reassuringly.

Gu Rongqi walked into the ward and said to Gu Lubo, who was leaning against the headboard, "Dad, Qicai's parents want to come and see you."

Gu Lubo wasn't unaware of Cheng Qicai's call. He lifted his eyelids slightly and asked, "So?"

"They're here to see you. Whether you agree or not is up to you." In any case, Guluber is the person involved, so it depends on his attitude.
