She covered her ears and bent down.
"What's wrong?" There was a hint of coldness between his eyebrows.
"Xiuyuan, my ears hurt." She said weakly, "It hurts so much..."
Gu Xiuyuan listened and took two steps forward, "Why does my ear hurt?"
As he was asking, Su Yan bent down even lower, and Gu Xiuyuan pressed the call bell directly.
Su Yan was sent for examination and the final diagnosis was: recurrent eardrum perforation caused by external force...
…
When Ji Shuyu heard the news about Su Yan from the nurse, she had just coaxed the old man to sleep after lunch.
She looked at her palm in surprise, but when she thought of Su Yan's smug and mean face, and her curse on her grandmother... she wished she could tear her mouth apart.
If time comes, she will definitely... hit him harder.
When Gu Xiuyuan arrived at the ward, Ji Shuyu was cooking soup for her grandmother in the small kitchen.
"Your hand is injured, who asked you to do this!" He walked in quickly, grabbed her wrist, stopped her movement, and reached out to turn off the water.
Ji Shuyu glanced at him. Shouldn't the first thing he should do be to blame her and ask for justice for Su Yan?
Every time she said something to Su Yan, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't bear it. Now that she had beaten his sweetheart into that state, he would not let it go.
Because this is a ward and because grandma is resting?
Haha, Ji Shuyu pulled her wrist nonchalantly.
"This is all I can do for Grandma." She took out kitchen gloves and put them on.
Gu Xiuyuan wanted to stop her again, but he knew she would not listen, so he could only roll up his sleeves and wash all the kitchen utensils around her.
He had never done these things before, so it wasn't very easy for him.
Ji Shuyu saw it, but pretended not to see it and continued busying herself.
Gu Xiuyuan looked at her profile. She was not deliberately indifferent or distant, but this kind of silence made him even more suffocating.
The image of her busy life was so familiar that it made one's heart ache. She was clearly right in front of me, yet seemed out of reach...
"Just say whatever you want to say!" Her voice was steady. "Call the police or whatever you want, it's up to you."
"If you want me to apologize, you don't have to waste your words."
The reason why he kept silent and pretended to be nice to her was simply because he saw that his grandmother was sick and wanted to solve the problem "peacefully".
Can you apologize?
Oh, dreaming.
"What are you talking about?"
"Gu Xiuyuan, you'd better keep her under control. If she dares to play tricks again... I will never let her go."
It was the same hatred as last night...
Gu Xiuyuan understood from his aunt's words where her hatred came from.
"Xiaoyu, you have some misunderstandings about Yanyan." He explained helplessly. "She only found out when she saw that the person following her was the aunt who took care of her grandmother."
Ji Shu was so angry that he almost dropped the coin in his hand!
She knew Su Yan's methods. She wasn't surprised that he would take the initiative to make excuses for Su Yan, but...
Never mind, she took a deep breath.
"You'd better be with me, Ji Shuyu. I'll feel more at ease listening to you." She looked up at him.
Hearing her name and Su Yan's name being mentioned in such an intimate way made her feel sick.
The indifference in her eyes at this moment made Gu Xiuyuan feel depressed.
The eyes that were sparkling yesterday were now as still as a pool of water...
"I did not mean that."
Gu Xiuyuan knew that now was not the time to mention Su Yan, he just wanted to give her some comfort based on her injury.
He knew she didn't mean it, it was just that her grandmother's incident had provoked her.
This little girl had been at his house since she was eight years old, and he had never seen her so excited. Thinking of her breakdown and excitement last night, he felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to touch her head and comfort her...
"I'll take care of Yanyan's problem, don't worry about it," he consoled her. "I just went to the doctor, and grandma's fine. She'll be fine after some rest."
Ji Shuyu looked at him with some surprise.
Did you take the wrong medicine?
She hurt Su Yan and even almost strangled her to death, but he didn't pursue the matter and was still here comforting her?
Oh……
Or, is this compensation for her?
Because of the extra medicine she took?
"Xiaoyu, can you please stop looking at me like I have ulterior motives?" Gu Xiuyuan said helplessly. "I know you didn't mean it, you're just worried about grandma..."
"That's what I meant." She turned and looked him in the eye. "If you hadn't stopped me yesterday, I really would have killed her."
"Xiao Yu!"
He could see that she was deliberately trying to irritate him.
"Let's talk!" Gu Xiuyuan said seriously.
He wanted to talk about everything, including what happened yesterday, the medicine his mother had prescribed, and his grandmother.
"I already said what I needed to say yesterday." She looked away calmly. "There's no need to say anything else."
"Let's do this quietly once grandma is discharged from the hospital!"

The kitchen door was pushed open.
Seeing Gu Bin coming in, both of them were stunned.
"What are you talking about?" Gu Bin lowered his voice, but it was full of suppressed anger.
Ji Shuyu looked at him.
He had always been very satisfied with Su Yan, and he would have heard about what happened yesterday. Now that Su Yan's ear was injured and her grandmother was hospitalized because of her, he looked really angry.
Gu Xiuyuan protected Ji Shuyu behind him and met his father's strange gaze. "Is there something wrong?"
"If you two have something to say, tell me, go out and tell me. If you disturb grandma, I won't forgive you."
He said and looked at Ji Shuyu again.
His eyes were very strange, just like last night, but Ji Shuyu couldn't tell why...
…
late at night
Ji Shuyu and the other one stayed in the hospital overnight.
The beds in the lounge are not big, and it would be crowded to accommodate two adults, but the sofas are all single-person sofas, and it would be inappropriate to let someone who has not slept for a day and a night sleep on the sofa.
Ji Shuyu was "busy" by her grandmother's bedside. The old lady urged her several times, but she was unwilling to rest.
"Xiao Yu, it's late, go to bed!" Gu Xiuyuan came out of the lounge.
Ji Shuyu knew that if she continued like this, her grandmother would become suspicious, so she stopped insisting and went straight to the sofa in the lounge.
"Go to sleep! I still have some work to deal with." Gu Xiuyuan grabbed her wrist.
Ji Shuyu didn't respond or refuse, she just lay down on the bed.
The two days and one night of running around had left her physically and mentally exhausted. She felt she had never been so tired in the past.
As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep. Faintly, she heard a whisper in her ear: Xiaoyu, you are still young...
Her heart twitched violently, her body trembled, and she suddenly woke up.
Xiaoxiao took a breath and couldn't breathe for a long time.
The room was quiet, with only a faint light.
She walked slowly over.
The computer was turned on and placed aside. The man who said he had work to do had fallen asleep on the sofa.
A sharp pain pierced her heart, and she forced herself to turn her face away, suppressing the soreness in her eyes. She tried her best not to think about it and forced herself to fall asleep, but in the end she couldn't help but get up and cover him with a thin blanket.
Ji Shuyu was distracted for a moment as she looked at his sleeping face. The more she looked, the more heartbroken she felt. Finally, she turned her face away slightly, but just as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed...
