Chapter 38 My Brother is Missing

“…”

"Do you know that you're making it so difficult for Xiaochu? How dare you come here?!" Ran Ran became more and more angry. "What on earth do you want to do? Can you please just go away!"

"Xiao Ran..."

Xu Ruochu, who was half lying down, let out a low cry. He didn't want her to make a big deal out of it, fearing that angering Gu Yixiao would put her friend in danger.

However, Ran Ran did not appreciate it at all and continued to argue with the man who was covering the patient with a blanket.

"Are you trying to take advantage of her while she's critically ill? Let me tell you, we won't let you succeed!"

Gu Yixiao's eyebrows were twisted into a knot by her yelling. He raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Don't make noise, Chuchu needs to rest."

Ran Ran: “…”

For the first time, he was shocked by the powerful aura and immediately shut his mouth.

Huh? That's not right...

Chuchu!

What did she just hear?!

Why do these two words sound so smooth when they come out of Gu Yixiao's mouth?

Moreover, the way he treats Xu Ruchu doesn't seem as cold and indifferent as before. Is it just because Xiaochu has changed?

Seeing that she stopped talking, Gu Yixiao turned to look at Xu Ruchu.

"Have a good rest and don't get out of bed without my permission."

His tone was still as cold, but a little gentler than usual.

Xu Ruochu's heart trembled.

But she doesn't need his extra care at all!

"No, I just want to stay with my friends. You should go home quickly or go to the hospital to accompany Sister Lin Yuan... You don't need to bother here." She said sullenly.

"Do you dislike me getting in your way?" he asked coldly.

She was stunned. She didn't expect that he would understand her so well. She was about to shake her head to explain, but Ran Ran beat her to it.

"Yes, Master Gu! You really are quite a nuisance. Why didn't you care about Xiaochu when you were single before? Now that you have a fiancée, you remember to care about this sister?"

Ran Ran glared at him in dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yixiao's handsome face suddenly turned cold.

Why is the eldest daughter of the Ran family so astonished!

"What did you say?" he suddenly asked sinisterly.

"I, I, I'm just telling the truth!" Ran Ran shrank her neck, a little timid, but still held on for the sake of her friend.

Gu Yixiao ignored her and said to Xu Ruochu, "Since you don't want me to be here, I'll leave right away."

Xu Ruochu suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this.

"Cousin..." She stared at him blankly, her voice a little hoarse.

Actually, that wasn't what she meant.

"Okay, rest and recover."

After saying this, he turned around.

Before leaving, he reminded Ran Ran and the others, "Tell Xu Ruochu to talk less. A fever will cause sore throat."

"..." Ran Ran and Xia Xiaomo stood together, looking depressed as Gu Yixiao's back disappeared at the door.

"Why has Young Master Gu changed so much?" Xia Xiaomo sighed.

Ran Ran couldn't help but curl her lips and muttered, "Who knows? Anyway, Xiaochu has Huo Ran by his side now, so I don't care about him!"

“…”

Huo Ran watched the interaction between them with a gossipy look on his face and almost guessed what was going on.

Does this Gu Yixiao have any other relationship with Xiaochu? When he came back from KTV last night, he vaguely noticed something was wrong.

However, such a good girl was hurt, and he was willing to do something to help her out of her emotional predicament.

......

After his friends left, Xu Ruochu slept until the next morning, then slowly woke up and found that his body had returned to normal.

She went to school as usual, studied hard for several days, and finished her group assignment ahead of time. Only then did she return to her apartment early for a rare occasion.

Gu Yixiao has been much quieter these days and hasn't contacted her again.

Maybe he's busy taking care of Lin Yuan! She thought.

It's just right that I don't need to be disturbed by him anymore...

After putting her schoolbag away, she immediately took out her cell phone and called her younger brother Gu Ziyang, telling him that it was time to take him to the "large amusement park" to play on the weekend.

This was the agreement between the siblings. They would do this on one weekend every quarter: go to the amusement park for two days and one night before returning home. Three months later, the same thing happened again. Originally, the brother wanted to arrange a date with her to go out once a month, but she had school and a part-time job, so she didn't have that much time. So, they had to change it to once a quarter...

When she called, Gu Ziyang was obviously very excited: "Sister, I finally waited for you to take me to the amusement park! I thought you were busy and forgot!"

"You are my biological brother, how could I forget your request?" Xu Ruchu said helplessly.

Gu Ziyang chuckled, and then there was a noise. The child on the other end of the phone said seriously, "Brother is back!"

“…”

"Brother, brother, I'm going to the playground with my sister tomorrow!"

Kids always like to show off things that excite them, he said happily on the other end of the phone.

Gu Yixiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on Gu Ziyang's phone watch.

These past few days, he has been secretly observing Xu Ruchu.

Although he couldn't see through her heart, he could see through her behavior and knew that she was avoiding him.

That's why I avoid him.

He should give her some time and not put pressure on her...

"Yeah," he replied casually and continued walking towards the stairs.

"Brother, do you want to go with us? It's fun there!" Gu Ziyang asked again.

Gu Yixiao didn't stop and said calmly, "No, just have fun."

"Oh, okay~"

Gu Ziyang was happily immersed in the fun of tomorrow's outing. He didn't care about other people's answers and just said to him perfunctorily, "Brother, good night!"

The next morning.

Xu Ruochu came to Gu's house to pick up his brother and went straight to the amusement park.

As usual, she first took him to ride the carousel, the Ferris wheel and other attractions that did not require queuing, then had dinner and then queued up for several other more fun attractions in the afternoon.

Before queuing, she went to the canteen to buy some water and snacks.

The boss was packing and settling the bill, so Xu Ruochu let go of his brother's hand and took out his cell phone.

"Don't run around, I need to pay." She instructed her brother while paying.

When she put her hands down and tried to pull the child again, she felt that the place where she was holding was empty.

She looked down and found that Gu Ziyang had disappeared!

"younger brother!"

Xu Ruochu was immediately panicked and quickly asked the people around him, "Have you seen the little boy next to me?"

"No, I didn't notice any children..."

The answers were all the same. Xu Ruochu was shocked and quickly took out his cell phone to call his watch.

But she found her watch beeping at her feet.

She picked it up and confirmed that it was her brother's watch, but the person was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind -

In my previous life, not long after the Gu and Lin families got engaged, my younger brother also encountered this situation...
