She didn't know when she had arrived in the crowd, and rushed forward to pick up Xiaofu from Wen Yu's arms.
After the two met, Xiaofu started crying again and cried loudly while being held by Aunt Li.
"Mother! Mother!"
…
At the dinner table, several people looked at each other.
Only Aunt Li was putting food into the bowls of several people, and she didn't seem to notice anything was wrong.
"Doctor Wen, thank you for saving Xiaofu. These are just some simple meals. Please don't be disgusted by them, Doctor Wen."
She picked up a piece of fish and put it in Wen Yu's bowl, smiling awkwardly.
"Ever since Xiaofu's father passed away, we, an orphan and a widow, have no way to make money. We really don't have anything to show for it..."
"Don't say that."
Wen Yu said lightly, put the fish in the bowl into his mouth and chewed it slowly, as if a person walked out of the painting.
"Auntie Li is very skilled in cooking and makes the fish taste different."
After hearing what he said, Aunt Li felt a little relieved.
Liu Yanqiu picked up the fish from his bowl and put it into Gu Qingsheng's bowl, silent and depressed.
Aunt Li pushed him
"Okay, how long are you going to be so awkward?"
Gu Qingsheng smiled awkwardly and remained silent for a while as he looked at the fish that had just been taken from his bowl.
After all, under the gazes of Aunt Li and Liu Yanqiu, if she didn't eat it, she would be considered spoiled, so she immediately picked up the piece of fish.
A pair of chopsticks slowly picked up the chopsticks in her hand, and another piece of milky white fish meat was placed on the plate in front of her.
"Wow……"
Miao Lanlan's eyes twitched
"This is Shura Field."
"Eat this."
Wen Yu didn't look at Gu Qingsheng and said lightly.
After looking at Wen Yu, Liu Yanqiu moved his gaze to Gu Qingsheng's plate, as if he wanted to see her make a choice.
Most people would just put down their chopsticks and not eat anything when faced with such a situation, but Gu Qingsheng didn't even think twice and picked up Wen Yu's piece of fish and ate it in full view of everyone.
Aunt Li's expression was somewhat unpredictable, and Liu Yanqiu's face suddenly turned ugly.
In comparison, Wen Yu did not have any other reaction, as if he had already expected Gu Qingsheng to do this.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, he also took the initiative to say
"Mr. Liu didn't remove all the bones from the fish. Miss Gu didn't tell me because she was afraid of embarrassing you."
If he hadn't said it, Liu Yanqiu wouldn't have known. Only after he said it did Liu Yanqiu notice that there were several bones on the fish.
In fact, this was originally a very small matter, but if Liu Yanqiu handed the fish over, it would be a bit impolite for Gu Qingsheng to carefully pick out the fish bones one by one, especially in front of Aunt Li.
"You are a careless child on weekdays."
As if trying to liven up the atmosphere, Aunt Li coughed twice and began to invite everyone to eat.
Through the dinner, Gu Qingsheng also learned that Wen Yu was an outsider like himself, but he had settled here three years ago and was the only doctor in Bianyu Village.
Although Dr. Wen is a highly skilled doctor, he is very weak. He stays in his room every day and never comes out. He can only be seen when someone is sick and wants to see him for treatment.
So when he found Gu Qingsheng and Xiaofu this time, the villagers were quite surprised.
I also heard that Wen Yu was going to pick herbs at the bottom of the cliff and took the opportunity to meet him.
At night, Gu Qingsheng tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
In the yard, the sounds of Aunt Li and Xiaofu sifting soybeans could be heard.
After a while, there was a knock on his door, and Liu Yanqiu's muffled voice came over.
"Are you asleep?"
"without."
Then he answered, Gu Qingsheng went to open the door for Liu Yanqiu, Miao Lanlan was interested in this kind of thing
"Let's guess, what is this young man doing here today?"
"Apologize? Or something else? Want to make a bet?"
"No gambling."
Gu Qingsheng decisively rejected Miao Lanlan and opened the door.
The moonlight shone on Liu Yanqiu, making his eyes even more dazzling and captivating. When they looked into each other's eyes, it seemed as if a fire was burning in one's heart.
He stood at the door, holding a bunch of peeled fruits in his hands, and said in a very stiff way:
"You must be hungry. Come... come and eat some fruit... I just picked some from the back mountain today."
It had not been an hour since they finished eating. Looking at the neatly arranged wild fruits, Gu Qingsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yanqiu.
"Mr. Liu, do you have something to say to me?"
The sound of Aunt Li sifting soybeans in the back had become much quieter, and she pricked up her ears to listen to the two of them talking.
Liu Yanqiu's face flushed red, and his eyes kept looking towards Aunt Li. Gu Qingsheng made way for him to enter the house, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, what does Mr. Liu want to say? Do you want me to pour some tea so we can talk slowly?"
"Need not."
He took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Gu Qingsheng very seriously.
"Um, Kiyomori..."
"I'm sorry, I got too excited these past two days and was so mean and yelling at you."
"Yeah!"
Miao Lanlan screamed
"I guessed right! This man just can't keep his cool! Apologize after you yell at him! Get a handle on him! Quick!"
In fact, when looking at the plate of fruit, Gu Qingsheng already understood Liu Yanqiu's intention and apology.
Not surprised at the moment
"I understand, Mr. Liu. It's normal for people to be emotionally aggressive. The jade pendant might have reminded you of an old friend. However, I cannot give it to you. After all, it was a gift from a friend."
"Mr. Liu was also worried about me the second time. There's no need to worry about these things. I'm not angry at all. I hope Mr. Liu doesn't hold a grudge against me."
She picked up the fruit beside her, took a bite, and smiled at Liu Yanqiu.
"It's really sweet. Mr. Liu is thoughtful."
After Gu Qingsheng ate the fruit, Liu Yanqiu felt much better. He curled his fists slightly at his side. The night air was warm, and the look in their eyes became softer as they looked at each other.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the gate at the entrance to the yard was banged on.
"Old Li's! Old Li's!!"
Hearing the voice that sounded like the village chief's, Aunt Li hurriedly stopped what she was doing, patted her apron and opened the door.
"What's wrong, Village Chief? Is there something you need that you come here so late?"
The village chief's face turned pale, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.
He hadn't looked so dejected in many years, and his lips trembled.
"The Fan family kid, Fan Qiang... He's dead! He's dead!"
Liu Yanqiu in the room suddenly turned around with an expression of disbelief.
Aunt Li was frightened and took a step back, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with fear.
"Dead? How could he be dead? He was fine during the day! How could this happen?!"
"Hey, stop talking so much! Let's go take a look together!"
He called Aunt Li and was about to leave. Xiaofu followed behind Aunt Li, pulling at the corner of her clothes.
"Mom! I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Aunt Li patiently squatted down and touched Xiaofu's head.
"Little Fu, wait for your mother at home. You and your brothers and sisters..."
"No."
Liu Yanqiu walked out quickly
"We're going too."
