Chapter 99: Am I really this beauty?
Gu Yin's injury would probably take about a week to heal, so she didn't insist any further. She smiled and tugged at Li Mengxin's hand to comfort her, "What does this have to do with Mother? It's just a coincidence! Mother, don't blame yourself!"
Her daughter was injured but still comforted her. Hearing her soft, sweet voice calling her "Mom," Li Mengxin's heart melted. She reached out and touched her daughter's face: "Are you hungry? I'll go to the shop and make something to eat. What would you like to eat?"
After exercising like that, she was indeed hungry and nodded: "I want to eat meat broth noodles."
Li Mengxin nodded and stood up: "Sister-in-law, come with me and make something for everyone. It's so late, and no one has had dinner yet."
Li Xiang got up and followed Li Mengxin out of the hospital.
The old man looked at Li Sen: "Thank you for your help today. We'll be staying here tonight, so why don't you go back while it's still early?"
He felt bad about asking someone to stay overnight at the hospital.
Seeing that Gu Yin was alright, Li Sen nodded: "I have a meeting in town tomorrow morning, so I'll head back now! Just let me know if you need anything later!" After saying goodbye to everyone, he drove away.
A short while later, Gu Qinglang returned with Li Li. Gu Yin looked at them and asked, "How did it go?"
Li Li lay on the bed next to the nurse, and soon a nurse came over to apply medicine to her and then put on a plaster.
After the nurse left, Li Li laughed and said, "It's nothing, just overexertion. A plaster and a bowl of medicine will do the trick."
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Li Li already had some problems with his foot, and if it were injured again this time, it would be troublesome. Fortunately, he was alright.
"Oh right, I forgot to call Grandma and ask her to go to Li Li's house and tell Grandma Li. Grandma Li must be worried!" Gu Yin suddenly remembered this and said anxiously.
Gu Qinglang placed Gu Le at Gu Yin's feet and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already dealt with it. You three children are tired too, so rest for a bit. I'll wake you up when the food arrives!"
Gu Le was already dozing off. She was placed at the foot of the bed and fell asleep in no time.
Gu Yin closed her eyes to let 001 relieve her pain, and then rested for a while.
No one went home that night; they all slept on the benches outside. The benches inside the room were given to the two women to rest on.
When the doctor arrived at work at dawn, he saw that Gu Yin's arm had gone down in swelling, but there were still some bruises. He smiled and said, "You can go home and rest now. Apply the medicine on time every day, and change the dressing on the scars on your legs on time. You can do it yourself at home. Don't eat spicy food to avoid scarring. Children are so healthy; they've recovered a lot in just one night."
The worried people in the room laughed when they heard what the doctor said.
Gu Yin thought that if she hadn't taken some Restoration Pills last night, her injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly. She was worried that they would heal too fast, so she only took a little bit.
The shop was closed today, and Gu Qingming and the others took a day off and didn't go to the city. When they returned home, the old lady was waiting anxiously at the door, with Old Lady Li sitting next to her.
Upon seeing them return, the two elderly women rushed to their respective children.
"Where are you hurt? How are you?" The old lady looked Gu Yin up and down, seeing that her arms were covered with medicine and her calves were wrapped in gauze. She felt sorry for her and kept saying, "You've suffered so much! Grandma made some soup early this morning. It's not greasy. We'll have a lot later!"
Grandma Li looked her grandson over and, seeing that he was alright, smiled and said, "Then I'll take Ali home first. Ah Yin, you get some rest!"
Gu Yin nodded, and then, with Li Mengxin's help, slowly walked home. Her calves were a little sore, and she felt uncomfortable if she walked too fast.
Gu Hua wasn't home yesterday evening; she went to the convenience store to watch TV. She only found out what happened at home when she came back in the evening!
Seeing Gu Yin come in, she quickly got up from the recliner: "Come sit here! Take a rest, the air is fresh, it's more comfortable than inside!"
Li Mengxin helped Gu Yin over, and the old lady brought over chicken soup. It wasn't oily, but it tasted very fresh. There were also some mushrooms in it. After drinking the soup, she leaned back in the recliner to rest for a while and fell asleep without realizing it.
Seeing her like this, her family kept the old lady and Gu Hua sitting in the yard, while the others went back to rest. They hadn't slept well all night and were worried, so now that they could relax, they were all a little tired.
In the days that followed, Gu Yin stayed home to recover from her injuries, while Li Li went to work with Li Mengxin again on the third day. Moreover, the family had a rule that they had to close the shop and go home at five o'clock every evening, no matter how good the business was!
Even though she wasn't prone to keloid scarring, Gu Yin's leg scars still left marks after the scabs fell off.
The area was quite large, and the scar was still black, so it didn't look very good. Gu Yin took out the beauty pill she had drawn earlier from the Sumeru Mustard Seed and ate it. As a result, she had to run to the toilet every short while, five times in a row! Finally, she didn't have to go anymore while the old lady ran to buy antidiarrheal medicine.
Gu Hua came out when Gu Yin ran for the third time. When she saw Gu Yin come out and saw her appearance, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to help her up, saying worriedly, "Are your legs numb? Is your stomach okay? Did you eat something bad? Your face, neck, and arms are all sticky! You haven't showered for a day, how did you get so dirty? Or, cough cough, or did you get splashed with... you know, it really stinks! Do you want to go wash up? Don't tell anyone!"
Gu Yin: "...I wasn't splashed with poop! Thank you for your kindness! Kind person, could you please heat some water for me so I can rinse it off?"
Gu Hua laughed: "When Grandma comes back and sees this, she'll definitely think the same thing I do! You sit down, I'll go boil some water for you!"
After everyone left, Gu Yin called out to 001, "Didn't you say there wouldn't be any reaction after taking it? I almost collapsed! Is it a fake drug?!"
001 was also puzzled: "My owner was fine when she ate it, right? She ate it like candy and didn't feel anything! It didn't smell this bad either!"
Gu Yin took a towel and first washed off the smelly, grime-like substance from her face and neck. Hearing this, she said helplessly, "Brother, your master is a god! She has the body of an immortal! Of course she can eat it without any problems. I'm just a mortal! How can I be the same as your master?"
001 blinked: "It seems so! But I suggest you look in the mirror right now."
Gu Yin paused, put the towel in the bucket, got up and went into the room, picked up a small mirror from the table and looked at herself.
Gu Yin looked at herself in the mirror and blinked. The beauty in the mirror blinked back. She pouted, and the beauty in the mirror pouted back.
"001, is this me?"
001 nodded: "They didn't say!"
Gu Yin was astonished. It was truly amazing! The person was still the same, and the features were still the same, but she looked different. Before, she was a pretty girl, the kind with delicate and innocent features, like a first love. Now, she looked more like a stunningly beautiful woman who had blossomed into womanhood, especially her eyes! They were shimmering and clear! The upturned corners of her eyes added a touch of allure, a fusion of purity and seductive charm that created an extremely beautiful style!
With her delicate nose, slightly flushed cheeks, rosy lips, and fair complexion, Gu Yin had seen all kinds of beauties in her previous life when she was in the entertainment industry, but she had never seen such a pure yet glamorous and harmonious appearance before!
Who doesn't love beauty? Gu Yin is no exception. But the change is too big. Gu Yin thought for a moment, let her hair down, and cut herself a straight fringe. The thick fringe covered her charming eyes a little, making her look much duller. Compared to her previous appearance, there was not much change.
Gu Yin smiled and nodded: "That's right!"
