Upon entering the orchard, the journey begins in the grape section.
Gu Minhang naturally followed her.
Liu Nian picked one, put it in her mouth, and tasted it: "So sweet!"
"Every year, we have to wash it before eating." Although no pesticides were used, there was still some dust attached to it.
"Uh-huh."
The two picked a few bunches of grapes, and then Liu Nian saw several servants coming over with baskets.
It seems Gu Minhang prepared the baskets for the maids.
"Young Master."
Gu Minhang nodded.
"You all go about your own business!"
"OK."
The servants had clear roles and went to different areas.
Liu Nian plans to pick bayberries.
"Gu, can you climb trees?"
Gu Minhang chuckled softly: "Yes."
"Could you pick some bayberries for me?" She saw two bayberry trees in the distance.
"good."
Arriving under the bayberry tree, Gu Minhang looked up and frowned.
"It's not ripe yet, year after year."
"Isn't it famous now?"
"It's red, but it will be very sour."
In the end, I didn't pick them; the midday sun was very strong and scorching.
Gu Minhang's basket was already filled with a lot of fruit.
Liu Nian's cheeks were flushed bright red, which was very noticeable against her fair skin.
Gu Minhang felt a pang of sympathy when he saw her sweating profusely.
"Niannian, go back first! If you still want to pick more, you can come back after sunset this afternoon."
It's incredibly hot right now, and she's thinking about going back.
The servants had already filled their baskets. Liu Nian and Gu Minhang came out of the orchard and happened to run into them as they were neatly putting the baskets away.
The servants were somewhat surprised when they saw the two of them.
"Why hasn't the young master gone back yet!"
Gu Minhang politely replied, "I've somewhat forgotten the time." Then he asked, "Have you notified the housekeeper to have it towed away?"
The maid nodded: "We've already notified them. The car will be here soon. Young master, please take Miss Liu home quickly. The sun is too strong; she'll get sunburned."
"Okay, you should go back as soon as possible too."
Liu Nian felt a burning sensation on her head, so intense that she could barely open her eyes. She also felt a little dizzy and exhausted.
She probably had heatstroke.
"Student Gu." Her tone was light and airy.
Gu Minhang immediately noticed that something was wrong with her.
Without saying a word, he put down the basket on his back, picked up Liu Nian, and walked quickly towards the villa.
"Niannian, you may have heatstroke."
Liu Nian nodded and obediently lay on his back without saying a word.
Gu Minhang was a little anxious. He walked very fast and gradually started running.
They arrived at the villa in no time. Upon entering, a cool, refreshing air hit them, instantly extinguishing most of their body heat.
He placed Liu Nian on the sofa, and then went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to take out a bottle of cold water.
The air conditioning in the room made Liu Nian feel much more comfortable, and she lay limply on the sofa.
Gu Minhang fed her water, then ran to the bathroom and brought out a basin of cold water and an unopened towel.
Liu Nian lay there with her eyes half-closed, letting him take care of her.
"Wipe your face."
He wet the towel and carefully wiped her face.
Her face was flushed red from the sun, a pinkish-white color. Gu Minhang resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks, wiped her sweat, and then ran to the kitchen refrigerator to get a bottle of juice.
He poured a glass and carefully brought it to Liu Nian's lips: "Drink some to replenish your sugar levels!"
The fleeting years slightly parted their lips.
Gu Minhang then fed her the food.
After hearing the news, Old Master Gu went downstairs immediately.
Looking at the listless Liu Nian, his old face darkened, and he slapped his grandson's head hard with a look of exasperation.
"You brat, you took a perfectly fine girl out with you, and she comes back like this!"
Gu Minhang had just finished feeding him the juice before the old man's blow landed. The old man's blow was quite powerful, and he was caught off guard, causing his head to fall forward, almost colliding head-on with Liu Nian.
He was still a little scared, looked at Liu Nian reassuringly, and called out helplessly, "Grandfather."
Grandpa Gu ignored him and looked at Liu Nian with concern.
"Girl, are you feeling better? Grandpa has called the family doctor, he'll be here soon. If you're still not feeling well, just scold that brat for not taking good care of you."
Liu Nian didn't have much energy left, so he could only manage a couple of dry laughs.
The family doctor arrived quickly.
After resting for a few minutes, Liu Nian regained her strength.
After checking, it was found that he had some heatstroke and low blood sugar.
I'm a bit confused about the passing years.
She had never been so disheveled before, and couldn't help but wonder what was going on with the system.
System: "Host, this is probably the butterfly effect. You've been taking too many digestive pills lately. You should probably cut back, just in case."
Liu Nian: "This still has an impact? This kind of thing never happened before."
She actually has hypoglycemia? This is ridiculous! She doesn't need to eat or drink; isn't that absurd?
System: "It's possible you've been eating too much lately, and this is causing some reactions."
System: "Host, it's best to avoid eating it."
The passing years are filled with worries.
"Replenish your sugar intake and drink more water."
The doctor's words of advice as he left.
Gu Minhang looked at Liu Nian lying limply on the sofa and felt somewhat annoyed with himself.
He regretted taking her out in such hot weather.
"Niannian, let me carry you upstairs to rest for a bit! What would you like to eat? I'll have Auntie make it and bring it up to you."
Liu Nian nodded, glanced at the old man sitting on the other side of the sofa, and said somewhat shyly, "Okay."
