Before going to work, Gu Xiuyuan asked his aunt to take good care of Ji Shuyu, and his aunt did not dare to neglect it.
If the incident that left her alone in the hospital yesterday happens again, she might really lose her job.
Ji Shuyu didn't want to embarrass her aunt, so she didn't insist.
She still has a lot to do before graduation.
She stayed in the study, waiting until it was dark outside the window.
She pinched her neck and stood up. When she looked out the window, she saw Gu Xiuyuan getting out of the car.
Ji Shuyu glanced at the time. It was rare for her to come so early.
When Gu Xiuyuan walked in, the house was quiet.
The figure that would rush out whenever he came didn't appear, there was no familiar smell of food, and even the lights were not on.
This feeling of loneliness made him feel uncomfortable from the inside out.
Turning on the light, Ji Shuyu came down from upstairs.
Their eyes met, but no one spoke.
A moment later...
Ji Shuyu said, "Here I am."
She greeted him but did not come forward as she usually did.
"Yeah." He nodded and changed his shoes. "Where's Auntie?"
"He said he bought some free-range chickens from Touxiang Township and took them away."
Looking at Ji Shuyu without a smile on her face, he felt a little annoyed.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"No appetite." She shook her head.
Gu Xiuyuan felt a little annoyed. Looking at Ji Shuyu who seemed like a different person, he took two steps forward.
Ji Shuyu is not tall, not even reaching his chin. This height difference creates a kind of "pressure" invisibly.
Her breathing was slightly choked, and her fingers couldn't help but clench the hem of her clothes.
Gu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and suppressed his dissatisfaction: "What do you want to eat? My assistant will bring it to you."
Ji Shuyu really wanted to say one thing: I'm not hungry.
But this oppressive feeling made her feel like the air was a little thin. "Everything is fine."
She went to the living room and sat down. Gu Xiuyuan looked at her for a few seconds and went upstairs.
…
When Gu Xiuyuan came down from upstairs, the assistant had already delivered dinner, but Ji Shuyu did not move. Instead, she went to the kitchen to cook noodles.
This scene was very familiar to him, but it made him feel like something was missing.
Finally found out that the atmosphere was not right.
In the past, she and her aunt were always busy in the kitchen, and would occasionally look up to talk to him.
After the noodles were cooked, she brought them directly to the dining table and then turned around to get the cutlery.
Hearing footsteps, she paused for a moment but did not turn her head.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned. Smelling the aroma of noodles, he suddenly felt very hungry, so without saying hello, he sat down directly at her seat. When she turned around, he took the chopsticks from her hand.
"Thanks."
“…”
Ji Shuyu was stunned for a moment, watching the noodles she cooked being in his mouth in the blink of an eye. She was speechless for a moment.
What is he doing?!
Looking at the noodles that she had poured a layer of red oil on, she suddenly became worried about his stomach.
But no matter how many times he wanted to speak, he swallowed his words back in the end.
He is an adult, if he can't eat it, he will let it go. Why does she care about these useless things!
Gu Xiuyuan hadn't expected her to remain silent even though he had snatched her dinner. Watching her silently prepare it again, he suddenly felt depressed. Even the noodles he had been craving for days didn't smell as good anymore.
In the past, she always chattered while eating.
From big news stories to small things like interesting things at school. Before his "business trip," he even received a photo of a four-leaf clover from her, which she said represented hope and luck.
"Gu Xiuyuan, let's talk!" Ji Shuyu couldn't stand this kind of oppression, so she turned off the fire and looked at the man who was eating her dinner.
"Have a good rest tonight, and I'll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow."
He seemed not to hear what she said and continued talking to himself.
"Have you applied medicine to the wound on your hand?"
Ji Shu's voice was muffled and he almost choked.
What's wrong with this person? Does he only listen to what he likes to hear?
"Gu Xiuyuan!"
"This is the first time you've called me by my name since I came in." Gu Xiuyuan raised his eyes, his expression slightly displeased.
Ji Shuyu found it a little funny. Was it such a big deal to call him by his name?
"How about you, Brother Xiuyuan?"
cough……
No matter how calm and collected he was, Gu Xiuyuan was still choked.
The chili oil choked his throat, and he coughed until his face turned red and he couldn't even straighten his back.
Ji Shuyu poured him a glass of water and placed it next to him.
His complexion didn't look much better after drinking the water. When his coughing stopped, his complexion became even uglier.
Ji Shuyu didn't want to pay attention to it, but he suddenly curled up with a look of pain on his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Shuyu asked.
He didn't answer, but bent even lower.
"Xiuyuan?" Ji Shuyu instantly forgot her anger, she stood up and walked over quickly: "What's wrong? Do you have a stomachache?
Gu Xiuyuan pressed his stomach tightly and nodded.
"I'll take you to the bathroom first." She said in a panic.
Ji Shuyu is not tall to begin with, so it is even more difficult to support him as he is 187cm tall.
She helped him upstairs and quickly found some stomach medicine.
After a busy day, there was sweat on the tip of his nose, but Gu Xiuyuan's pain did not ease at all, and even his lips turned white.
"Xiuyuan, are you in severe pain? Let's go to the hospital!" She held his hand, her voice trembling.
She couldn't bear to see him sad, and she would feel sad when he frowned.
Gu Xiuyuan shook his head, "No."
"What should I do then?" Ji Shuyu blamed herself for not stopping him even though she knew he couldn't eat spicy food.
Why should you be angry with him?
Looking at Ji Shuyu who was anxious and blaming herself, he shook his head gently. "I'm really sorry, it will be fine after a while."
The more he comforted her, the sadder Ji Shuyu became, and even her eyes turned red.
"Lie down for a while, I'll make you some porridge." Ji Shuyu said as she stood up.
"No."
Gu Xiuyuan wanted to tell her that she had an injury on her hand, but before he could stop her, she had already run out of the room.
Looking at the figure at the door of the fire department, Gu Xiuyuan's brows, which were wrinkled due to pain, relaxed a little.
Ji Shuyu was preparing in a hurry in the kitchen. Her injured hand was accidentally hit by the hot steam, and the pain made her almost cry.
She poured him some hot water and prepared the ingredients for the stomach-nourishing soup. When she brought the cooked porridge upstairs, Gu Xiuyuan was hurrying down while talking on the phone.
"build……"
"Yanyan, don't be afraid, I'll be there soon." He soothed her softly, his steps hurried.
When he passed by her, he just said: I'm going out for a while, you go to bed early!
Ji Shuyu stood on the stairs holding the porridge. The sweat from her busy work rolled down her face and fell into her eyes, stimulating her to the point of tears.
Yanyan, so even if he felt so uncomfortable, he would rush over without a moment's delay as soon as Su Yan called him.
While she was busy for him, he was thinking of Su Yan...
Looking at the porridge in her hand, she suddenly smiled.
Oh……
So, what makes you feel moved?
He didn't ask you to do it at all!
What do you do?
Worry about whether he has eaten, whether he has a good appetite, and whether he has put on more clothes as the weather is getting cold?
Now think about it, what is the difference between my role and that of an "auntie"?
She sat down on the stairs, looking at the porridge on the tray, tears in her eyes fell into the bowl, one by one.
She wiped it roughly, then picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.
It's supposed to be soft, sweet, and glutinous, but it tastes bitter...
There was a loud bang outside the window without any warning.
Ji Shuyu screamed in fright, and then the whole house was plunged into darkness...
