The next day at noon, Yu Zihan walked out of the school gate and walked into a remote alley. Seeing that there was no one around, she took out the thermos and the pile of materials from the space.
In order to get those materials, Yu Zihan specially exchanged for a large handbag that was very characteristic of the era.
Yu Zihan, carrying a large bag on her shoulders and two thermoses in her hands, knocked on the door of Gu Jingxuan's ward.
"Come in!" Gu Jingxuan's pleasant voice came from inside. Listening to this voice again, Yu Zihan felt that it was unspeakably elegant, like a plucked string, stirring her heartstrings.
She pushed the door open and was surprised to see the fashionable girl she had met that day standing in front of the bed.
"Oh, how about I go out?" Yu Zihan said to Gu Jingxuan.
Gu Jingxuan thought to himself that this little girl was sometimes too smart. Her hint was to tell Gu Jingxuan that she wanted to talk to him alone and didn't want outsiders to disturb her.
"No need, Zhang Shanshan, you go back, I have something to do." Gu Jingxuan made a sudden turn towards the little girl's gentle attitude and immediately became very cold.
The woman called Zhang Shanshan turned around and glared at Zi Han. She wanted to say something but held it back.
Because she felt that talking to such a person was lowering her status.
What kind of outfit is this, and she's carrying such a large package. She had originally felt a sense of crisis about Zi Han's two appearances.
But looking at Yu Zihan, she's probably only fourteen or fifteen years old. And her figure is obviously not fully grown yet.
Not to mention her outfit, it was so tacky that it was falling apart. She laughed at herself in her heart. She was really crazy. If a girl like this caught Gu Jingxuan's eye, she, Zhang Shanshan, would hit her head against the wall and die.
She turned and left, and when she passed Yu Zihan, she actually covered her nose with her hands.
Yu Zihan thought to herself, am I a virus? And you're covering your nose, look how noble you are!
Gu Jingxuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl's colorful expression just now.
Yu Zihan caught this smile and was a little stunned. This guy could actually smile, and his smile was so beautiful. It was really pleasing to the eyes.
Just when she was about to blurt out this thought, she held it back.
She walked to the bedside table and saw several steaming lunch boxes on it. She looked at Gu Jingxuan.
Gu Jingxuan said, "You said you would make me something delicious today." This sentence successfully pleased Yu Zihan.
She placed the thermos on the bedside table with a bit of arrogance, and pushed the lunch boxes to the inside.
This little action was seen by Gu Jingxuan, who found Yu Zihan even cuter. He stood up and hurried to open Yu Zihan's thermos.
"Go wash your hands." Yu Zihan roared at him.
The tone of her voice was filled with disdain and entitlement, just like the look on her face in her previous life when she ordered Erha Hanhan. Gu Jingxuan actually enjoyed this treatment.
He obediently went to wash his hands, then looked at Yu Zihan before opening the thermos.
A fragrant aroma wafted out: "Sha, it smells so good." After sighing, Gu Jingxuan couldn't wait to start eating.
Looking at Gu Jingxuan like this, Yu Zihan compared him with the Gu Jingxuan she had seen in previous occasions. She felt that this was definitely not a soul.
After eating for a while, Gu Jingxuan remembered a question: "Have you eaten?" In fact, Yu Zihan had not eaten. She rushed to the hospital as soon as she got home from school. She had no time to eat.
But Yu Zihan didn't want to eat in the hospital, more because she didn't want to share his rations. So she said, "You eat yours, I've already eaten and I'm full."
"Gurgle, gurgle" her belly stabbed her. She looked at her feet awkwardly. She wanted to dig a big crack with the soles of her feet and jump down.
"Hahaha..." Gu Jingxuan couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.
"Look at you, you're so young, but you think too much. If you ate, you ate. If you didn't, you didn't. Why can't you just say it directly? Remember, from now on, tell the truth in front of me and be your true self. I don't care, okay?"
After Gu Jingxuan finished speaking, he opened the lunch boxes. Another aroma emanated, filling the entire ward with the aroma of meat and vegetables, making Yu Zihan even hungrier.
She was moved by Gu Jingxuan's words. No one had ever told her to be true to herself in front of her. She looked at the man who invited her to dinner, and a different emotion filled her heart that she didn't even know existed.
She picked up the chopsticks awkwardly and started eating. She didn't find the meal very tasty and had no taste for it.
Because she was thinking about something, secretly looking at Gu Jingxuan, trying to figure out what Gu Jingxuan was thinking. In short, she became less calm and composed.
After dinner, Yu Zihan cleared the dishes and started talking about business.
She placed the large bag on Gu Jingxuan's hospital bed. "This is full of evidence of Cui Mingtao's evil deeds, as well as letters from important figures who had close ties with him. I'm handing all of this over to you. I beg you to help me bring this bastard to justice."
Yu Zihan looked at Gu Jingxuan expectantly with her bright eyes. Gu Jingxuan nodded solemnly: "As long as these things are true, no matter how powerful his backers are here, I can bring him to justice fairly and impartially. Don't worry about that."
His words were not only a promise to the little girl, but also a promise to his own beliefs.
I remember the oath I swore when I joined the army: I would dedicate my youth, my blood, and my life to my country and its people. This is a lifelong oath I will never regret.
Today, he mentally added another person's name to this oath. That name was Yu Zihan. He himself might not even be aware of this, but this change was subtle, slowly seeping into his heart.
Maybe it is just a small sprout now, and it will need a lot of nutrients and care to make it sprout and grow healthily.
When Yu Zihan heard Gu Jingxuan say these words, she seemed to see him taking the oath under the national flag, so firm and so sacred.
"I believe you, I'm leaving." Yu Zihan didn't know why she wanted to escape. She also didn't know what she wanted to escape from, was it Gu Jingxuan or this environment.
Even as she stepped out the door, her heart was still pounding. Although her body was now fifteen, it concealed an old soul. In a previous life, this soul had been sealed in cement, heartless and without desire.
She once thought that she didn't have a good opinion of men as a species, and she didn't expect them to bring any changes to her life.
Her goal since her rebirth was clear: to live a happy life with her mother and do what they loved. But now, what was going on with her restless heart?
Yu Zihan suppressed her unrealistic thoughts all the way, and finally found herself the moment she walked into the school gate.
