Chapter 437: He covered his heart tightly
"Is she okay?" Gu Xixing asked lightly.
“It’s good, but very busy.”
"I had to wait in line for a long time before I could see her, but that sister's medical skills are amazing."
"Don't I have a bad cough?"
"You asked me to go and see her, so I went."
"What she said is very appropriate. She also prescribed some medicine for me, and it's very cheap." Gu Huan was a little girl after all, and she chattered a lot.
"I told Sister Tu Ran that you were on a blind date."
Gu Huan suddenly said.
Gu Xixing's face didn't show much emotion. "What did she say?"
"She said it was a good thing."
"Happy for you."
Gu Xixing smiled bitterly and did not respond.
"Brother, have you really let her go?"
"What else?"
"But I see that although you agreed to the blind date arranged by my mother, you are actually not paying attention."
"I need time." Gu Xixing is not a difficult person.
Tu Ran has made it so clear, there is no reason for me to cling to him.
But I really can't let it go.
I even dreamed last night that I met her by chance on the university campus.
After waking up, the feeling of loss is something that only those who have experienced it personally can understand.
Gu Xixing is a typical science and engineering man, extremely rational.
He has strong self-control, which is why he is both good in character and academics, and there is no negative news about him in the first half of his life.
He used to be confused when he saw others struggling with love.
Is there really someone who would be so heartbroken and willing to die for an illusory love?
until……
Met Tu Ran.
A series of stories unfolded.
Up to now, I have not known Tu Ran for a long time, but we have experienced a lot of things.
With the blessing of stories, it has depth.
With thickness comes weight.
Once something has weight, it is difficult to just let it go.
"Okay, brother, if you still can't let go...why not wait a little longer? I don't think Xie Nancheng will be able to stay with Sister Tu Ran for long."
"To be honest, I don't think Xie Nancheng is as good as my brother."
What Gu Huan said was the truth. In her heart, Xie Nancheng was not as good as her brother in appearance, personality, or maturity.
"Girl, I know you are on my side." Gu Xixing smiled and tapped Gu Huan's head.
"Brother, I have to say, you have a really good eye."
"Sister Tu Ran has no blind spots up close. The more I look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. If I were a boy, I would like her too."
Gu Xixing smiled, said nothing more, got in the car and left the old house.
The next morning
When Nie Xiu and his servant came out of Chen Garden, Chen Yingli stopped him.
"Xiu, take this with you."
"What is it?" Nie Xiu glanced at the exquisite little bamboo basket.
"It's some fruit for Tu Ran."
Nie Xiu was a little disgusted. "You don't have to give such a shabby gift, do you? Chen Yingli, are you too stingy?"
"You know what? This is called a small gift but a big thought." Chen Yingli rolled his eyes.
"But is this necessary?"
Nie Xiu has never given any gifts before because he is of too high a rank and has too good a background.
Others gave him gifts, but he didn't even look at them.
It’s a bit strange for him to deliver things to others now.
"Xiaojie, you take it."
Seeing Nie Xiu's disgusted expression, Shen Yingli simply handed the bamboo basket to Nie Xiu's personal bodyguard.
"Yes, Miss."
Xiao Jie didn't dare to refuse, but he still looked at his master nervously. Seeing that Nie Xiu didn't seem particularly disgusted, he felt relieved.
Xiao Jie is a man of few words, which is just right for Nie Xiu. He doesn't like talkative people, regardless of gender.
The journey was very quiet and we arrived at Dr. Sun's clinic smoothly.
Surprisingly, Tu Ran hasn't arrived yet.
"Please go upstairs first. The girl will be here soon. She must be stuck in traffic." Old man Sun was very respectful and even found an excuse for Tu Ran to be late.
Nie Xiu's face was cold and he ignored Old Man Sun. He went straight up to the second floor and found a suitable place to sit down.
"How dare you be late."
"I'm really tired of living."
The man muttered something, and Xiaojie glanced out the window, a little embarrassed. "Doctor Sun said Doctor Tu was stuck in traffic."
"You lie, you old liar."
"The road from her home to the clinic is so traffic-free at this time of day no matter where she goes."
"She did it on purpose."
In Nie Xiu's opinion, Tu Ran was late on purpose to disgust him because he and her didn't get along well.
I just didn’t expect…
"Doctor Tu is here."
Seeing Tu Ran’s car, Xiao Jie hurried to report it, but Nie Xiu still had a gloomy face.
When Tu Ran went upstairs, he was holding a canvas bag in his hand.
"When I was leaving, I remembered that today was the day for your treatment, so I made a few more dumplings."
"But I don't know if you like sweet or savory, so all I make are sweet."
"You both have it, come on."
Tu Ran said this as he naturally took out the rice dumplings from his bag.
She ordered the ingredients for making rice dumplings this morning, and they are all very fresh.
I just wanted to make some more for Uncle Sun, freeze them, and eat them until the Dragon Boat Festival.
I didn’t have time to eat breakfast in the morning, so I cooked a few for myself and wanted to eat them with Uncle Sun.
Suddenly I remembered that there were two of them, so I packed a few more, which is why I was late.
Hearing that this was the reason why he was willing to be late, Nie Xiu's expression seemed to ease a little.
"I don't eat these snacks." The boss was very arrogant.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. It's just a celebration. Who would eat zongzi every day?"
Nie Xiu: ...
Well, I was criticized by this woman again.
"It's still hot. If he doesn't want to eat it, forget it. You try it."
Without waiting for Xiaojie to speak, Tu Ran immediately handed him one.
"Thank you, Dr. Tu." Xiao Jie was flattered.
At this moment, Nie Xiu glanced at the basket on the ground and said, "That was given to you by Chen Yingli."
"Isn't she your cousin? Why do you call her Chen Yingli all the time?" Tu Ran wondered.
"Is it your business?" the boss continued arrogantly.
"You don't talk back at people, right? How can you expect your illness to heal quickly if you're being so mean?"
Nie Xiu: ...
This one sentence almost frightened Xiaojie to death.
He has been with his master for many years. Who dares to speak to him like this?
Without waiting for Nie Xiu to speak, Tu Ran squatted down and opened the small bamboo basket, his face immediately filled with surprise.
"Miss Shen is so nice."
Nie Xiu took a quick look and saw that they were actually three kinds of worthless wild fruits.
Even worse than fruit.
He had previously thought that they were high-end fruits like mangosteen, durian, and sugar apple.
Who knew it was the kind of wild fruit commonly found in the mountains.
It's quite embarrassing. You know, he couldn't let Xiaojie take these things.
But Tu Ran seemed to like it very much.
She even held the small bamboo basket in her arms.
"These bamboo baskets are exactly the same as the ones in our town. Every May, we locals choose to weave bamboo baskets into small bamboo baskets. No matter what food is inside, it will be accompanied by a bamboo fragrance."
“Miss Shen is really thoughtful.”
"These fruits are the specialties of our Phoenix Ridge." Tu Ran was deeply moved for a moment.
"Thank you too, Nie Xiu."
Tu Ran turned around, tears in her eyes, but she must be sincere in what she said.
This made the big boss, who had been criticized all the time, feel a little at a loss as to what to do.
This was the first time in his life that he coaxed someone, and it was a woman at that. Although the things were prepared by Shen Yingli, Tu Ran also thanked him.
In an instant, an indescribable emotion surged in my heart.
The boss immediately covered his chest tightly, trying his best to control his inexplicable heartbeat.
