When Yu Zihan returned to the ward and saw Pei Xiao, she rushed towards her father. Pei Xiao was so scared that he quickly dodged, "Be careful, I might touch your arm."
Yu Zihan stopped beside Pei Xiao and asked coquettishly, "Dad, what did you bring me for dinner today? I'm hungry."
"I brought pork rib soup to my good daughter today." Pei Xiao looked at his daughter lovingly.
Yu Zihan and Pei Xiao were now closer than Yu Meijuan. Yu Meijuan was pleased to see the harmonious relationship between father and daughter.
Yu Meijuan said angrily, "You haven't even recovered yet and you're just running around. Where have you been? You've been strolling for an hour."
"Oh, I saw Gu Jingxuan. He is in the hospital again." Yu Zihan opened the lunch box and a fragrant aroma filled the air.
"It smells so good!" Yu Zihan handed the chopsticks to his parents.
"Let's eat together."
"You just said you saw Jingxuan in the hospital? I have to go see him." Pei Xiao stood up and was about to go out.
"Dad, wait a moment." Yu Zihan said as he looked into the corridor.
"What's wrong? You're so mysterious." Yu Meijuan joked.
"Oh, I just came out of his ward. You don't know, a fairy-like woman and a serious man came into his ward. They didn't look like they were there to visit the patient, but rather to have an argument.
Tsk tsk tsk, that woman doesn’t look like a good person at first glance. I don’t know how Gu Jingxuan knows such a person.
There's probably a quarrel going on in the room right now." Yu Zihan vividly described what she had just seen to her parents.
"Alas, Jingxuan is also a miserable child." Pei Xiao seemed to be lost in deep thought, his expression full of sympathy and emotion.
"What's going on? Dad, please tell us about it." Yu Zihan looked at Pei Xiao curiously, with a gossipy glint in his eyes.
"This child is getting more and more unreasonable as he grows older. Why do you care so much about other people's affairs?" Yu Meijuan pushed the soup in front of Yu Zihan forward and said softly, "Drink the soup quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Yu Zihan took a sip of the soup, smacked her lips, and exclaimed, "This soup tastes so delicious, it's simply a delicacy. I could drink a whole bowl." After saying that, she looked at Pei Xiao again, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Dad, just tell me about Gu Jingxuan."
Pei Xiao looked at his daughter's longing eyes, and a soft touch welled up in his heart. He sighed and said, "Alas, this is a family matter, and it's not convenient to disclose it to outsiders. But Gu Jingxuan is not an outsider, so I'll tell you about it." His eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, recalling the past.
"Gu Jingxuan's mother was born into the Yan family, a prominent family. She is a descendant of the Yan family. She is talented, especially in architecture.
Unfortunately, her health was not good and she died after giving birth to Gu Jingxuan. Poor Gu Jingxuan, he lost his mother's care since he was a baby. He was taken to live with his grandparents.
Old Master Gu was a powerful general who valued his grandson very much. Therefore, he was very strict with Gu Jingxuan since he was a child. This child had suffered a lot since he was a child.
When he grew up a little, his grandfather sent him to the military camp for training. Due to his outstanding qualities in all aspects, he was given responsibilities that ordinary people could not bear.
"Alas, generally speaking, this child has a miserable life." Pei Xiao sighed.
"What about his father? Doesn't he care about him?" After hearing this, Yu Meijuan also felt sympathy for Gu Jingxuan.
"His father also served in the military. I don't know much about him. But there are rumors that he married a woman after Gu Jingxuan's mother died and obeyed her every word.
The two also have a daughter and a son. I heard that the stepmother was very afraid of Gu Jingxuan. If it weren't for Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, Gu Jingxuan would have suffered so much. "
"I didn't expect this person to be so miserable." Yu Zihan felt very uncomfortable after hearing about Gu Jingxuan's life experience.
"The man and woman just now must be Gu Jingxuan's father and stepmother. That woman also said bad things about me." Yu Zihan said to his parents.
"I'll go and take a look." After hearing what his daughter said, Pei Xiao decided to go visit Gu Jingxuan.
"I'll go with you." Yu Zihan suddenly started to care about Gu Jingxuan.
The father and daughter walked towards Gu Jingxuan's ward together. When they reached the door, it was quiet inside and there was no sign of quarrel.
The two knocked on the door, and Gu Jingxuan's voice came from inside, "Come in."
Pushing the door open, Gu Jingxuan saw Pei Xiao and his daughter standing at the door. The expression on his face eased a lot.
"Come in and sit down."
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Pei Xiao asked, because he saw that there was no food on the bedside table except canned food and fruit.
"No! I haven't bought it yet." Gu Jingxuan said with a relaxed expression.
"You, you're injured and you don't take care of yourself. It just so happens that we have a lot of them. If you don't mind, I'll get them for you." Pei Xiao had a close relationship with him and didn't think too much about it.
"What are you complaining about? I'm really hungry and you told me you had food earlier." Gu Jingxuan was not polite either.
Pei Xiao turned back to get his meal. Yu Zihan looked at him and said, "You can eat my meal from now on."
"Okay." Gu Jingxuan said.
The atmosphere between the two of them seemed different from before. Yu Zihan actually felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Pei Xiao appeared in time.
"It's so delicious. Can your family prepare my sick meals from now on?" Gu Jingxuan ate with big mouthfuls.
"That's no problem. Zi Han happens to be hospitalized here, so you can eat together from now on." Pei Xiao agreed without thinking too much.
Gu Jingxuan looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Are they coming?" Pei Xiao asked tentatively.
"Well, don't mention them. It's annoying." She had never seen Gu Jingxuan like this before. A feeling of heartache surged in her heart.
"Dad, let him rest. I have to go back to the ward." Yu Zihan said to her father. She thought that Gu Jingxuan needed to digest his bad emotions quietly by himself now, and outsiders would not empathize with him.
Gu Jingxuan really wants to be alone now.
"We agreed that I would have dinner with you every day." He instructed Yu Zihan who was walking towards the door.
"I know." Yu Zihan agreed without looking back. Yu Zihan was in high spirits at this moment.
In the days that followed, Gu Jingxuan ate with Yu Meijuan and her daughter every day. Of course, he didn't just sit back and enjoy the fruits and nutritional supplements his comrades gave him, and Yu Zihan ate them all.
They stayed in the hospital for half a month, and Yu Zihan herself didn't even realize that her relationship with Gu Jingxuan had undergone subtle changes.
When Yu Zihan faced Gu Jingxuan, she no longer had that open feeling. Instead, she felt very shy and wanted to see him but didn't dare to.
