Bai Qianmo leaned against the headboard, her gaze fixed on the man sitting beside her.
The man, dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers, was tall and slender. He sat on a chair, his long, straight legs stretched out somewhat awkwardly.
He was peeling an apple with his head slightly lowered.
There was a basket of fruit on the bedside table, a gift from the young attending physician.
Bai Qianmo knew that the other party was only doing this because of Gu Jueye.
The apple peel was cut into long, intact strips and discarded in the nearby trash can, while the flesh inside was fresh and juicy.
He handed over the apple, and when he looked up, he met a pair of clear eyes staring at him.
Bai Qianmo was surprised when Gu Jueye suddenly looked up. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily looked away.
The man pursed his thin lips slightly, a faint smile flickering in his eyes.
"If you have a sore throat, you should eat more fruit."
"Thank you!" Bai Qianmo reached out and took it, taking a small bite, the sweet and sour taste filling her taste buds.
"Is that young man your friend?"
Bai Qianmo was taken aback by the question and didn't immediately understand who Gu Jueye was referring to.
Gu Jueye pulled out a tissue and slowly wiped his hands.
"That person at the police station entrance."
The Gu family members standing outside the door: "..."
Seventh Master, you've really taken your breath a long time.
I thought they wouldn't care at all, but it turns out they're waiting here...
"Oh, it's a colleague." Bai Qianmo took a bite of her apple and replied casually.
She and Rong Yu weren't close; they had only met twice and helped each other out.
Therefore, she felt there was no need to explain further.
Gu Jueye blinked slightly, his expression unreadable.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "That's good, you young people have common topics."
Bai Qianmo: "..."
He paused slightly as he bit into the apple, his clear eyes narrowing slightly.
Why does this sentence sound like it has a deeper meaning?
"You're not old at all!"
Gu Jueye smiled and said, "Although we are classmates from the same school, it's because you are smart. Normally, I would be graduating from university by now, while you are still busy preparing for the high school entrance exam."
The worst thing about getting older is being compared to others, and he's been thinking about that lately.
The little girl was standing next to that boy, both radiating youthful energy and vitality befitting their age.
And I'm almost thirty.
Bai Qianmo tilted her head and glanced at Gu Jueye: "I think the measure of whether two people can get along is whether they are mentally compatible. Some people may look young, but they are very mature at heart."
She never felt that she had anything in common with her peers.
Aside from sharing the same hobby of playing video games, she doesn't like many things that her peers like.
For example, idol worship, or the various shades of pink that girls like.
Gu Jueye raised an eyebrow slightly and gave her a half-smile: "Don't you think there's a generation gap between us?"
Bai Qianmo stared thoughtfully at the man in front of her.
So, even someone as perfect as Gu Jueye can feel inferior because of his age?
You're only 26 years old, what's there to be ashamed of?
"No way, you're so handsome, a lot of girls would probably want to pounce on you."
A few days ago, I accidentally saw a "Most Desirable Male God to Sleep With" ranking on Weibo, and Gu Jueye was ranked first.
This ranking list remained on the trending topics list for a whole day.
"Pfft!" The Gu family members at the door couldn't help but chuckle.
Seventh Master, you're trying to flirt with your wife but you're the one being flirted with instead!
Gu Jueye was in a good mood and ignored the two people at the door.
She smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
I wanted to ask in return, "And you? Have you ever wanted to pounce on me?"
But then I thought, I can't be too hasty, or I might scare the girl away, which would be a loss.
Gu Jia
Wearing his reading glasses, Grandpa Gu sat at his desk and carefully read through the documents that had just been delivered.
His expression was somewhat deep and unfathomable.
At this moment, Madam Gu walked in with a cup of ginseng tea. Seeing the old man's solemn expression, she put down the teacup and picked up the document on the table.
Upon seeing the information displayed on the document, Madam Gu paused for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I was worried he'd be single forever, but now he's met someone who's kind to him, but I never expected..."
Grandpa Gu reached out and took off his reading glasses, then rubbed his throbbing temples.
"Our family never cares about family background. As long as the other party comes from a respectable family, we'll let the boy do as he pleases if he likes it."
Madam Gu nodded in agreement: "As long as the girl is kind-hearted and of decent character, I agree with her. However, she is young and only has a junior high school education. I'm worried that she might be fickle. Also, I'm concerned that A-Ye might just be interested in something new and then find out it's not right. I don't want to make the girl suffer."
Grandpa Gu frowned slightly: "That old man from the Qin family already knew about this. Given his difficult nature, he actually took the initiative to match them up. It seems that the young lady is not the kind of person the rumors say. Let's wait and see."
The two elderly people have weathered decades of storms together, accumulating half a lifetime of wisdom, so they naturally don't just look at things superficially.
Although the old man sent people to investigate Bai Qianmo, the information they sent back was less than satisfactory.
But he trusted his grandson's judgment; someone like that, if he could choose someone, wouldn't be too bad.
Many things cannot be blinded by the fog before our eyes. Knowing that the old man of the Qin family was trying his best to bring them together, he already had a clear understanding in his heart.
Old Mrs. Gu was born into the direct line of the Ye family in the south, and was a proper heiress and socialite.
The Ye family of the South was known as the King of Zhennan in the region, which shows their noble status.
