Before going to bed that night, Liu Jiu remembered the letter she had gotten from Gu Xuanyi and quickly took it out of her bag. The envelope was pink and had a faint fragrance; she didn't know how they got it.
Each envelope contained two sheets of paper, and judging from the handwriting, they were from the same person.
Liu Jiu and the scouts in the army had learned a little about handwriting analysis. From the point of force and the strokes of the pen, they could tell that it was a girl's handwriting.
As for the contents of the letter, Liu Jiu also read it, but it was useless; the whole thing was praising Gu Xuanyi.
He was praised from every angle, from his height and appearance to his clothing, gestures, and even his playing style.
Liu Jiu felt that the writer's language skills were average; the same thing was repeatedly praised, the wording was repetitive, and there was no originality. Moreover, this was not a narrative essay; it used too much exaggeration, which did not conform to the facts.
Liu Jiu had been holding back for a while, not taking out a pen to annotate her. She really wanted to see which blind person had written Gu Xuanyi as an immortal.
Liu Jiu stuffed the letter back, finding no useful information. The only thing she was certain of was that the writer was from her school and that their courses overlapped.
Having no clue what to do, Liu Jiu decided to go to sleep first. Apart from the strange occurrences, Gu Xuanyi hadn't suffered any losses.
"Liu Jiu, what did you see?"
The next morning, Gu Xuanyi, carrying his schoolbag, walked to school with Liu Jiu and asked impatiently.
Because he was afraid of being discovered by Sanqi, he didn't dare to ask Liujiu at home.
"Nothing significant was discovered. What is certain is that the person who wrote the letter was a woman, unless she was a master impersonator, but I don't think so."
She must live nearby, know our every move, and be able to pinpoint exactly when neither of us is in the classroom to put the letter in your bag. Perhaps she's a classmate.
Liu Jiu felt that even if they weren't classmates, they still had helpers in their class. Otherwise, how could she explain that the letter was quietly placed in Gu Xuanyi's desk?
"Ugh, who's so bored that they don't even want to take the high school entrance exam anymore, yet they still have the energy to do this kind of thing? The thought of someone silently approaching me gives me the creeps."
Gu Xuanyi felt a chill run through his body. It was terrifying. All the youthful confusion he had felt during puberty vanished completely.
Liu Jiu gave Gu Xuanyi some instructions, and for the next period of time, the two of them worked together to see if they could catch the person.
Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi were busy at school looking for someone to deliver the letter, while at the retirement home, they called Gu Ye.
"Baoni, the retirement home called and said Grandma is in the hospital. Let's go to the hospital after get off work tonight."
Gu Ye was quite surprised when he received the message from the retirement home. Why did it get to him? The old lady has sons and daughters, so why would she need her grandson to get involved?
However, now that he already knows, whether it's to silence the gossips of outsiders or to see how the old lady reacts to her beloved grandchildren, Gu Ye has no choice but to go to the hospital.
Bonnie went to Liu Jiu's class and told the two children that she was going to the hospital that night. After school, she took San Qi out to eat, and after eating, they went home to do their homework.
Bonnie gave Liu Jiu and the others ten yuan, gave them a few instructions, and then went to find Sanqi and told him not to go home after school, but to wait for his older brother and sister.
After settling the children in, Bonnie went back to work. There were still books to organize; some pages were missing and needed to be sewn back together. This was Bonnie's weakness, and she had already pricked herself several times.
"Bonnie, are you sewing a book or bleeding someone out?"
Lan Hua passed by and saw that Bonnie had been pricked again, with a small bead of blood on her hand. She couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, don't make sarcastic remarks. I've never sewed clothes before, and the needle and thread don't listen to me at all."
Bonnie wiped the beads of blood off her hands. She was about to explode. Her fingers were connected to her heart, and even a prick from that finger hurt a lot.
"You can't sew, you can't cook, I really don't know what you can do?"
While Lan Hua was complaining about Bonnie, she took the needle and thread and deftly began to sew.
"Sister Lan, you're amazing! You can align them without even looking. Beautiful!"
Bonnie showered everyone with compliments without hesitation, and her hands never stopped as she brought over several books that needed sewing.
"Please don't praise me too much, I'm not used to it. It's more natural for us to tease each other occasionally."
Aunt Lan is very proud and aloof. She doesn't accept Bonnie's praise verbally, but the upturned corners of her mouth reveal her true thoughts.
The two of them chatted animatedly, taking turns talking, and soon the books were sewn together.
"Sister Lan, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. Don't be shy."
"I won't stand on ceremony. I'll rely on you for any manual labor in the future. I won't help you for nothing."
Bonnie laughed as she watched the orchid, which looked like a big white goose, strut away with its neck outstretched.
After getting off work, Bonnie packed her things and waited for Gu Ye at the entrance so they could go to the hospital together.
Not wanting to go empty-handed, Bonnie got out of the car when they passed a department store and bought a can of malted milk powder, two cans of food, and some pastries, which she then carried in a mesh bag.
Upon arriving at the military hospital, Gu Ye and Bao Ni found Grandma Gu's ward, which was already quite full of people.
Gu Xiangdong and Xu Fang, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, Gu Feng and his wife, and Gu Yuan were also there.
"Gu Ye is here. Your grandmother is sick, and the doctor said it's quite serious."
Uncle Gu called out to Gu Ye, and the others also looked over.
"What's wrong with Grandma? Why did she suddenly get sick?"
Although Gu Ye had no affection for his grandmother, he didn't completely ignore her either. Since he worked within the system, he also had to be mindful of his reputation.
"I'm getting old, and I've been feeling unwell for a while. Yesterday I suddenly fainted, and the doctor said I had a stroke. Half of my body is no longer functional, and I'll need to take good care of myself from now on."
Uncle Gu was also quite sad. His father was gone, and he only had his mother left. Of course, he hoped that she would live a good life.
"What should I do if the doctor says I need to be hospitalized for observation?"
Gu Ye looked at the room full of people, wondering what they were all thinking, and no one spoke.
"I'll get some injections and acupuncture at the hospital for a few days to see if I can recover a little. After that, I'll have to go home and rest. We'll see what the best course of action is."
Gu Ye laughed; he was amused by his own anger.
"Third Uncle, Grandma has sons and daughters, and her most beloved grandchildren. She's sick and needs help. Why are you asking me about it? What's wrong?"
Gu Ye showed absolutely no mercy, which was truly ridiculous. He came to check on things, which was simply fulfilling his duty; there was no other reason to blame him.
"No, we're not just at a loss for what to do right now. In our family, you and your brother are the most capable, so we wanted to hear your opinions."
Uncle Gu was speechless after being rebuked. As children, it was their duty to take care of their parents.
"I have no objection. This matter is not my responsibility. You can discuss it yourselves. Where is Aunt? Why didn't she come? Is she planning to leave the Gu family and stop being a daughter of the Gu family?"
Gu Ye looked around. His aunt wasn't there. Well, when there's no benefit to be gained, why would she be so enthusiastic? She's always been like that, hasn't she?
"I called her, but I don't know why she didn't come."
In the entire ward, apart from Gu Ye and Uncle Gu, everyone else kept their mouths tightly shut.
