Chapter 56: Like... a puppy abandoned by its owner

Jian Yao hesitated for two seconds, but still clicked on Wu Yue's WeChat.

Wu Yue: Brother Lu is in the hospital due to gastric bleeding. Can you come and see him?

The attached photo showed a man lying on a bed in an empty ward with an IV drip, his face as pale as paper.

It's impossible to say that I don't care about the relationship we have grown up together.

Even if they couldn't be lovers, she wasn't so vicious as to watch him suffer.

However, she has already experienced the pain of not understanding the sense of boundaries, and will not inflict it on Gu Zhiyan.

Lu Chengze obviously hasn't given up yet. Since it's impossible for him and I to be together, he won't give him any hope anymore.

She tapped her fingers and typed a line of words and sent it over.

Then she exited decisively and quickly scanned the message sent by Xu Si. It was just as popular as she had imagined.

It's the kind of thing that would make you socially dead if someone found out about it.

Jian Yao glanced at Gu Zhiyan who was pushing the bowl of pork rib soup over to her. She coughed lightly and said to her, "Go shopping with me tomorrow and I'll tell you."

After dinner, Jian Yao helped Gu Zhiyan put the dishes into the dishwasher. Gu Zhiyan looked up at her and asked, "Do you want some fruit?"

"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought some grapes, strawberries, and blueberries."

Jian Yao washed her hands in the sink and said, "Okay, you've already cooked the meal, so don't compete with me for washing the fruit."

Gu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, then took a half step back to make room for her. "I dare not, I dare not, please."

Jian Yao was amused by him and took a step forward to open the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is very large, with double doors, and vegetables, fruits, and drinks are neatly divided into areas.

Very friendly to Jian Yao, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

There was only a box of multivitamin soy milk placed in a row by itself, which seemed particularly out of place with the layout of the entire refrigerator.

Jian Yao said "Huh" and picked up the bottle of soy milk.

"This seems to be the brand that cooperated with our school cafeteria when I was in high school."

It is a small local brand that has built its reputation entirely through word of mouth. Its main sales group is universities and colleges, and it is almost a standard on campus breakfasts.

When Gu Zhiyan saw her pick up the bottle of milk, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But after hearing what she said, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, a forced smile appeared at the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of loneliness in his low voice.

"Do you still remember this milk?"

Jian Yao nodded, "Of course I remember. I loved drinking it when I was in high school."

Gu Zhiyan uttered “hmm” softly.

I remember this milk, but I don't remember this bottle.

Jian Yao muttered while holding the soy milk, "I remember this brand was discontinued when I was in college. How did you buy it?"

She looked in the refrigerator and confirmed that there was only this bottle in the entire refrigerator, and was a little puzzled.

You only bought one bottle?

Gu Zhiyan curled his lips and said, "We haven't stopped production. The company has been acquired and is no longer selling to the outside world."

Jian Yao held the soy milk box in her hand and turned to look at Gu Zhiyan.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Gu Zhiyan looked like he was about to break.

She looked down at the soy milk in her hand, carefully put it back where it was, and apologized to Gu Zhiyan.

"Is it important to you? Sorry, I just picked it up and looked at it because I was a little surprised. I hope you don't mind."

The items that Gu Zhiyan collected alone must have been given to him by someone very important to him, right?

When Jian Yao thought of this, it felt like someone had dropped a drop of lemon juice on the tip of her heart, making it sour and swollen.

It turns out that Gu Zhiyan also has someone he cherishes deep in his heart?

Seeing Gu Zhiyan lowering his eyes and looking lost, Jian Yao felt filled with guilt.

She shouldn't have the guts to touch Gu Zhiyan's things just because he has a good temper.

How can I appease her now?

She is really the dumbest person. She is most afraid of coaxing and comforting people in her life.

Jian Yao racked her brains before finally saying, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched your things. How about to show my sincerity, I'll pay for all the milk you drink from now on?"

Jian Yao secretly glanced at Gu Zhiyan's expression.

Even if that box of milk is really special, ignorance is not a crime!

Besides, she just touched it, she didn't drink it!

He wouldn't be so stingy, right?

Jian Yao was still lost in her thoughts, but Gu Zhiyan suddenly chuckled, and the mist lingering in his eyes dissipated, flashing with bright lights.

"Actually, I was just calculating whether this bottle of milk was expired and whether I could still drink it."

He leaned against the refrigerator, looked at her lazily with his eyelids raised, and a smile in his eyes.

"But since you said so, let's pull the hook."

The bony little finger was slightly bent and waved in front of Jian Yao, signaling her to pull the hook.

Jian Yao narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously, "Then why were you like that just now...?"

Gu Zhiyan said "Oh" in a long tone and asked, "What?"

Jian Yao recalled how Gu Zhiyan looked just now.

There was a sense of depression all over my body, like... a puppy abandoned by its owner...

Jian Yao was silent for a moment. Between telling the truth and playing the game, he chose the game.

She couldn't bring herself to say that Gu Zhiyan was like a dog.

Jian Yao resigned herself to her fate and stretched out her little finger to hook it around Gu Zhiyan's knuckles.

The hot body temperature made her hands tremble slightly. She looked away and complained stubbornly, "Childish!"

Gu Zhiyan doesn't think it's childish at all.

He looked pious, as if he was attending some important ceremony. His clear voice was serious, "Then we have a deal. You have to take care of my milk for the rest of my life."

The three words "a lifetime" struck Jian Yao's heart lightly.

The person who just despised the childishness pursed his lips as if he was under a spell, "Yes, for a lifetime."

In the hospital corridor.

Wu Yue was hiding in a corner with no image at all. After sending the message, he kept staring at the chat page between him and Jian Yao.

When he saw the message "Input in Progress" on that side, he instinctively thought "As expected".

As expected, Jian Yao still couldn't forget Brother Lu.

When I contacted her before, she never replied. But when she heard that Brother Lu was sick, she became anxious!

Therefore, the previous call to the police was only a temporary measure, and there is still hope.

As long as Jian Yao can be coaxed back, Brother Lu’s “madness” will definitely be cured, and the problems at the company can also be solved.

Everyone is happy!

However, the next second.

After seeing the message sent by Jian Yao, the smile on his face completely froze.

Jian Yao: "Isn't he already in the hospital? If you feel unwell, go call a doctor."

No care, no greetings, every word revealed indifference and indifference, even sarcasm.

The ridicule of Lu Chengze for abandoning her for Liu Yiyi.

She's not a doctor, so she doesn't need to see him.

Lu Chengze is not a doctor, but he missed their engagement party in order to go to Shanghai to see Liu Yiyi.

Wu Yue held the phone in his hand. He had never realized more clearly than at that moment that there was really no possibility for Jian Yao and Lu Ge to be together.

After pondering for a while, he silently deleted the chat records with Jian Yao.

Otherwise Brother Lu might see it one day and go crazy again.
