After finishing their meal, the three of them went home with bags full of their spoils.

When I got home, I didn't see Lu Lin. He must have gone back to his room.

Gu Mingyue wrapped the gift she had prepared in something and knocked on Lu Lin's door with it.

"Lu Lin, are you there? I have something to give you."

A few minutes later, Gu Mingyue heard the sound of a wheelchair turning inside the room.

"Wait a moment."

His voice sounded more anxious.

After a while, no one came out, and Gu Mingyue became a little anxious. Why was there no sound?

She pounded on the door anxiously.

Lu Lin, who was inside the room, was also covered in sweat. How unlucky he was to fall down again!

"You can go back now. We can talk later if you need anything..."

With a loud bang, Gu Mingyue slammed the door open.

Upon seeing the scene inside, my nose tingled – what a beautiful picture of a handsome man emerging from a bath!

Lu Lin collapsed before he could even get dressed after taking a shower.

When Gu Mingyue came in, he was only wearing a pair of shorts.

Lu Lin: I want to die again...

Gu Mingyue raised an eyebrow, surprised that the perks of just giving away gifts were so good, including a free view of a handsome guy with abs.

Judging from Lu Lin's appearance, he must have had quite a few followers in the past.

Thinking of Zhu Xiaoqing, whom she had met today, Gu Mingyue suddenly didn't want to give him the gift anymore.

Even now, though fallen from grace, it still exudes an irresistible charm.

Have you seen enough?

Her gaze was intense, and Lu Lin couldn't sit still under that stare.

Gu Mingyue snapped out of her daze, helped the man up, and handed him the bandaged items, saying, "This is a gift for you. I hope you like it."

The packaging in my hand is exquisite and made of high-quality materials, and it looks expensive.

According to the investigation, the Gu family was facing bankruptcy, and Gu's parents fled to Hong Kong overnight, leaving their two children behind.

He still remembered the tattered clothes Gu Mingyue wore when she came; they had several patches on them.

Does Gu Mingyue have the money to buy him things?

He held the item in his hand and felt its weight.

Should we give her a red envelope as a token of our gratitude?

Lu Lin had never given a girl a gift before, so he really didn't know what to give her.

He felt that giving money would be faster, since his sister's eyes always lit up whenever she saw a red envelope.

Over time, Lu Lin rarely gave his sister gifts anymore, instead opting for simple and direct red envelopes, which he felt better expressed his feelings.

While Lu Lin was engrossed in his imagination, Gu Mingyue subtly observed his room.

The walls were simply plastered and painted. There was a wardrobe on the north side of the wall, and a bookshelf next to the bed on the south side, with a few books spread out on it, which Lu Lin had just read.

As the wheelchair turned, Gu Mingyue's gaze shifted to Lu Lin's legs.

Thinking of the spiritual spring water in the space, his mind stirred.

Perhaps next time we meet, we can mix the spring water and food together, so that it won't spoil easily or be noticed.

"Can I borrow a book from you?"

"Can."

Lu Lin nodded slightly and pointed to the bookshelf not far away, saying, "Take whatever you want from here. These are the books I usually read. There are also some military books in the box. If you want to read them, I'll go find them for you."

"No, no need."

Not to mention the books in the box, many of the books on the bookshelf contain content that Gu Mingyue has never encountered before.

She randomly picked out a notebook that looked like a record book, with sharp handwriting annotations made by Lu Lin.

His handwriting is meticulous and has a distinctive personal style.

Have you read all the books in here?

I don't know how long it would take to read a whole bookshelf full of books, and most of them are extracurricular professional books.

Gu Mingyue sighed again, it was truly a cruel twist of fate that such a promising young man had ended up like this.

Gu Mingyue casually pulled out a book and tucked it into her bosom. "Then I'll go back first. You get some rest."

Not long after she left with her things, she ran into Aunt Liu, who was on her way to buy groceries.

The old lady and Lu Wanwan had been shopping all day, and when they got home, they were overcome with exhaustion and slept on the sofa for a long time.

Gu Mingyue watched as Aunt Liu placed something in a pot and steamed it until it was cooked.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to deliver something? Under the guise of delivering food, add a few drops of spiritual spring water to the meal.

Because she didn't know his specific situation, Mingyue didn't dare to use too much at once.

Anyone with eyes could see that Lu Lin's injuries wouldn't heal so quickly, and the ancient medical master they had been searching for didn't have a leader.

Gu Mingyue only dared to gradually increase the proportion of spiritual spring water, hoping to help Lu Lin stand up again through this gradual method.

Although the goal is long-term, making a little progress every day will eventually lead to success.

Without hesitation, after preparing the tonic for Lu Lin, Gu Mingyue added spiritual spring water to the food while Aunt Liu wasn't looking.

It is colorless and odorless, and goes unnoticed like water.

However, when placed in supplements, the aroma seems to become stronger.

Lu Lin picked up the bowl and noticed that the tonic smelled better. He didn't think much of it and assumed that Aunt Liu had cooked it for a longer time.

At noon, only Xia Huiying and three younger relatives ate lunch at home. Lu Limin went fishing with his old friends, while Lu's parents ate lunch at their workplaces.

After finishing their meal, Lu Wanwan excitedly pulled Gu Mingyue to try on clothes, saying, "Sister-in-law, hurry up, I've already prepared everything."

Lu Wanwan placed all the clothes on the bed, folding them neatly, as if waiting for her boss to inspect them.

Gu Mingyue first changed into the red dress she had snapped up at the department store.

This is the dress she's been most looking forward to. Hopefully, it won't disappoint her, since there's a huge difference between the buyer's photo and the seller's photo.

After Gu Mingyue changed her clothes, Lu Wanwan clapped her hands excitedly.

"Sister-in-law, you are truly as beautiful as an angel. Wearing this dress, you look even more like a fairy. If you walked down the street, you would definitely charm a whole bunch of men."

After saying that, he took her hand and was about to go out so that everyone could see.

With such a beautiful sister-in-law, her brother needs to feel more threatened. If he doesn't hold onto this happiness, she'll suffer too.

"Clang clang clang, let's welcome Ms. Gu Mingyue."

Gu Mingyue was wearing a red dress, and she looked so beautiful that she seemed to have stepped out of a painting.

Xia Huiying was the first to applaud, "Welcome! It looks great! This dress is really nice, it makes you look even more energetic."

The older generation's praise for people is simple and unpretentious.

The moment Gu Mingyue came down, Lu Lin's eyes were unconsciously drawn to her.

A beautiful and graceful woman is the object of a gentleman's affections.

These eight words unconsciously popped into his mind.

A bright and generous woman like her should be running freely outside, while his legs, in their current condition, can only be a burden to Gu Mingyue.

Since the two have only been in contact for a short time, separating as soon as possible might still leave room for reconciliation.
