After receiving a call from Chu Huan, Tang Jingyuan hurried back to Ronghua Garden and saw Lu Anning leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.
He changed his shoes quietly and walked forward. The tea on the coffee table beside her had long been cold, and she hadn't touched a sip.
Seeing her lying there without even a blanket, Tang Jingyuan frowned and was about to cover her with the blanket when Lu Anning suddenly woke up.
"You're back?"
Lu Anning subconsciously glanced out the window and realized that it was already dark.
"What time is it?" She supported herself on the sofa with both hands and tried to sit up. Tang Jingyuan leaned over to support her. Seeing that there was still fatigue between her eyebrows, he felt a little distressed.
"Haven't you eaten yet?"
Lu Anning shook her head. After returning from the hospital, she made herself a cup of tea. She wanted to rest for a while and review what happened today to avoid falling into another trap. Who knew that she would fall asleep and the tea was cold.
"Are you hungry? I'll make you some tomato pasta!"
Tang Jingyuan stood up and was about to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Lu Anning.
"You just came back, sit for a while." She patted the seat next to her, and Tang Jingyuan sat down. Lu Anning took the initiative to lean on Tang Jingyuan's shoulder for the first time.
"Let me lean on you for a moment. I'll cook noodles with you later."
Tang Jingyuan responded, letting her lean on his shoulder, reaching out to hold her in his arms, and the two of them just sat there quietly.
After a while, Lu An Ning asked, "Did Chu Huan tell you everything?"
Tang Jingyuan paused: "How did you figure that out?"
Lu Anning smiled and said, "When you came back today, the way you looked at me was different from usual. I'm fine. I just felt that I shouldn't have been impulsive today and fell into Lu Yunxi's trap. Gu Yu believed in her unconditionally, just like Gu Yue's attitude in Kyoto."
She sat up and looked at Tang Jingyuan: "Lu Yunxi admitted it, but she was fearless, certain that the Gu family would not believe me. When I saw Gu Yu defending her today, I realized where her confidence came from. She is loved by everyone in the Gu family, and she can't be easily shaken."
Everything Lu Yunxi did today was not because she was afraid that the dean would wake up, but because she wanted Gu Yu to hate her.
She did it!
After this incident, Gu Yu obviously wouldn't have a very good impression of her. If she said anything about herself in front of Gu Yu again, the impression would be deepened, and it would be difficult for her to change it. Not to mention, if she approached the Gu family again, it would only make her seem deliberate and have ulterior motives.
"The situation may not be as bad as you think."
"If I were Lu Yunxi, I would definitely do this. I've fought her for so long, I know her too well."
"Although the Gu family cherishes their lost and found daughter, they won't go so far as to lose sight of right and wrong. Even if things get worse, don't you still have me?"
Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan for a long moment before he smiled in relief: "That seems to be the case."
The haze quietly dissipated, and in the kitchen, two figures were cooking side by side, one boiling noodles and the other frying eggs, creating a warm picture of a peaceful life.
The fact was just as Tang Jingyuan thought. Gu Yu doted on this little sister, but he had not yet completely lost his mind.
In front of others, he naturally has to protect his sister, but this does not mean that he will not review and analyze the situation later.
At nightfall, the brother and sister sat opposite each other in the room. Lu Yunxi absentmindedly ate the fruit that Gu Yu had brought her. Yin Le noticed that there was something wrong in the look in Gu Yu's eyes when he looked at her.
"Second brother, do you have something to say to me?" She put down the fruit fork and looked up at Gu Yu cautiously, like a frightened deer.
Gu Yu took a deep breath and tried his best to ignore the look in her eyes.
"It's just the two of us here. Yaoyao, tell me honestly, why did you go to the dean's ward today? Did you trigger his sudden attack?"
Lu Yunxi looked at Gu Yu in great astonishment, and tears soon filled her eyes.
"Second brother, you still believe what Lu Anning said, right? It turns out that second brother doesn't believe me!"
She lowered her head and smiled bitterly, her face full of hurt, and Gu Yu was a little panicked.
"I just want to understand the situation. Don't overthink it. You don't know the dean, so why did you end up in his ward?"
Lu Yunxi took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Gu Yu with tears in her eyes: "Because, I am curious about what the patient that Second Brother cares about looks like. I just want to see the kind and kind director of the orphanage, but I didn't expect him to suddenly go crazy when he saw me. Second Brother, no one would approach someone knowing there is danger. I just want to know more about your life. If I am wrong to do so, I am sorry!"
Hearing this, Gu Yu's heart broke.
"You're going, are you going for me?"
"My second brother is away all year round. I just returned to the Gu family and just wanted to learn more about my brothers' lives. My eldest brother is very good to me, but my second brother saves the dying and heals the wounded. In my heart, he is like a god. I am willing to be your believer, and I hope that one day I can help the seriously ill like you and do good deeds to accumulate virtue."
"Yaoyao..." Gu Yu was moved by these words. He didn't expect that he would have such a great image in his sister's heart.
How could such a kind sister hurt others?
"Be good! Our Yaoyao is the kindest little angel. I'm sorry! Second brother shouldn't have doubted you."
Lu Yunxi suddenly threw herself into Gu Yu's arms, hugged him tightly and started acting coquettishly.
"I knew it. Second Brother loves me the most. Miss Lu is still too concerned. Second Brother, please don't take your anger out on her because of me, okay? As long as Second Brother trusts me, I'll be satisfied."
Gu Yu didn't expect that his sister would speak up for others, and he felt even more sorry for her.
Looking at the sweet and soft little sister in his arms, and thinking of Lu An Ning's tough attitude during the day, Gu Yu couldn't help but frown. Even if Lu An Ning was right, judging from her behavior, she would not be an easy person to get along with. In the future, he would not have to be nice to her.
