"Yi Bei".
Qin Yu was flattered to see Gu Yibei personally arrive and quickly stood up to greet him.
"We've been brothers for so many years, and this is the first time you've taken the initiative to come to me."
Gu Yibei, with his arm around Ji Zhinan's waist, replied expressionlessly, "I came with my girlfriend."
They're true brothers; the moment they met, they started feeding each other dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection), and you had to swallow it.
Qin Yu was a little choked by this sudden dose of dog food, so he simply turned his gaze to Ji Zhinan next to him.
She nodded politely: "Miss Ji."
"Hello, Dr. Qin," Ji Zhinan greeted.
Gu Yibei never bothered with small talk; he went straight to the point: "Bring the person here."
Then he led Ji Zhinan directly to sit on the sofa in Qin Yu's office and very consciously poured Ji Zhinan a glass of water.
Qin Yu stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered, at the couple showing off their affection. He pointed a finger at his nose and said, "Hey, bro? Even animals aren't used like this."
Gu Yibei looked up, and those dark eyes stared at him.
Less than half a minute later, he suddenly raised his lips, revealing a gentle, tender smile...
"..." Qin Yu felt a chill run down his spine, and he shuddered violently, shrinking his neck as he quickly said, "I'll go arrange it right away!"
Then quickly leave the office, leaving the young couple alone.
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Ji Zhinan was somewhat surprised. She turned to look at Gu Yibei: "I can see Grandpa?"
"Hmm." The man nodded: "Qin Yu brought you out under the pretext of a medical check-up. Without the Ji family accompanying you, you can have a proper meeting with the old man."
This man is very considerate; he had already thought everything through.
………
He was right. Qin Yu used the excuse of giving the old man a full-body checkup to get the doctor to bring him up and arrange for him to stay in another ward.
After everything was arranged, Gu Yibei led Ji Zhinan upstairs.
The old man is still unconscious; he looks very weak lying there.
Although we met just yesterday, it feels like a lifetime ago...
Slowly walking over to the hospital bed, Qin Yu gave the doctors and nurses a wink, and the others withdrew, leaving only Ji Zhinan and the old man behind.
Gu Yibei personally went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water and a clean towel before leaving the ward.
Ji Zhinan soaked the towel in hot water, wrung it out, and bent down to wipe the old man's face.
She is very meticulous in her work, wiping every little bit carefully.
After wiping my face, I wiped my hands.
She's lost weight, she's really lost a lot of weight.
When she touched those hands, she felt as if she had touched a bone, something hard and uncomfortable.
Because he had been receiving intravenous fluids at the hospital for the past two days, his hands were covered with needle marks of all sizes, some of which had turned purple. Seeing this, Ji Zhinan felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart.
Quietly wipe his hands and throw the towel into the basin.
Ji Zhinan sat on a chair next to the hospital bed, holding the old man's aged hands tightly with both hands, and lowered his head.
She didn't say anything, just quietly enjoying every minute she spent with the old man.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she felt the hand she was holding twitch. Ji Zhinan looked up and saw that Old Master Ji had woken up and was staring at her.
Those eyes weren't as clear as they used to be; they were quite cloudy.
The old man opened his mouth, but the sound seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Am I... dead?"
