Chapter 54
When mentioning Wang Weiguo, Young Master Jiang couldn't help but think of the time when Gu Jiangkuo was injured.
Because he had tried so hard but still failed to keep Mr. Jiang, Jiang Nuo was always worried, always fearing that everything was destined and many results could not be changed by human power.
So I was worried that Gu Jiangkuo's fate could not be changed and he might end up with lifelong disability.
But then, he went to City A to pick up Mr. Jiang and bring him back to Yanlin, and held a funeral. Then he fell ill again - in the middle of that, he also missed Jiang Su's mid-term parent-teacher meeting. Of course, the teacher also expressed understanding as something big had happened at home - until now, he hadn't had time to ask Gu Jiangkuo whether his injury had healed.
But it's not a good idea to ask about that kind of thing, especially since so much time has passed, it would be a bit awkward to bring it up again.
We have to find a better opportunity.
Tonight, Young Master Jiang is taking a bath as usual. During his "confinement" period, he takes a warm hot bath every other day to relax his meridians.
Usually Aunt Mei prepares the bath water and he comes to take a bath himself.
But today, Jiang Nuo plans to take this opportunity to subtly test Gu Jiangkuo. If there are really problems, they should be solved early. You can't just hide the problem and avoid seeing a doctor.
So after dinner, Young Master Jiang pretended to casually stroll into Gu Jiangkuo's room. Gu Jiangkuo was still awake and reading by lamplight. On his desk were Western economics, advanced mathematics, engineering drawing and high school physics.
——Needless to say, high school physics must be Jiang Su's. Recently, Gu Jiangkuo has been using his spare time to give Jiang Su extra lessons.
This made Jiang Nuo feel that he was a man of great consideration. He couldn't help but want to care about his health and was more determined to ask him to take a bath so that he could ask if he had any hidden illness.
Although their rooms were next to each other, Jiang Nuo seldom came to visit. As time entered November, it got dark earlier and earlier. It was only a little after eight o'clock, but it already felt like late at night.
So, when a large young master Jiang suddenly walked into the bedroom in pajamas late at night, Gu Jiangkuo was immediately at a loss and blurted out, "Xiao Nuo."
Jiang Nuo didn't care about his address. She thought about what to say and said carefully, "I'm still a little uncomfortable. I heard that taking a hot bath for too long can easily make you faint. It would be bad if you drowned... Can you take a bath with me tonight?"
Gu Jiangkuo: “!!”
Young Master Jiang always gave orders and rarely invited people in such a roundabout way. His reasons were inevitably awkward. After he finished speaking, he realized the problem and scratched his fingers a little awkwardly, but still calmly concluded: "Let's go."
Then he went into the bathroom first.
Looking at his back, Gu Jiangkuo didn't know whether to leave or not.
What did Xiao Nuo mean? A bath? Together? Was it what he thought it meant? How could it be possible? Had he been thinking too much lately, and so was dreaming about it?
Gu Jiangkuo pinched his thigh hard.
pain.
Gu Jiangkuo let out a breath quietly, but still followed carefully.
.
Young Master Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with sharing a bath with others. Before he took over the position of president and when he still had plenty of time, he often went to Japan to travel and shop, and each time he would set aside a whole day to soak in the open-air hot springs.
Especially in winter, with a light snow, soaking in a scalding hot spring surrounded by natural rocks is truly relaxing. The open-air baths are separated for men and women, so no swimsuits are required. Each person is given a small towel to cover their private parts on the shore. Once in the water, they place the towel over their heads, find a corner, lean against a large rock, close their eyes, listen to the water, and contemplate life. It's a quiet meditation experience.
Because he had been there so many times, Jiang Nuo always thought that taking a bath in this way was a normal thing.
However, considering that the young Gu had probably never been abroad and might not be able to accept being honest with others, Young Master Jiang considerately threw two bath balls into the oval sunken bathtub, which was large enough to accommodate four or five adults.
When these small balls are thrown in, they will quickly produce a large amount of dense foam, almost covering the entire water surface.
After Gu Jiangkuo had prepared himself mentally, he approached the bathroom and saw this scene:
Young Master Jiang seemed to have taken a quick shower. Now his whole body was buried in a bathtub filled with pink bubbles, with only his white shoulders and wet head exposed.
When he saw Gu Jiangkuo, Jiang Nuo's eyes lit up and he waved at him: "You're just in time!" He had just changed his clothes, and this angle was just right for him to observe Gu Jiangkuo's injuries!
Jiang Nuo urged: "Change your clothes!"
Gu Jiangkuo: “……………………”
"Don't be shy, we're all men, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Nuo continued to urge, "There are towels over there, you can get one like me."
However, Young Master Jiang still underestimated how shy Big Boss Gu was. He took a long time to take off his clothes, and he kept his back to Jiang Nuo the whole time!
……unwise.
He couldn't just say "Turn around, I want to see if your chicken is hurt", so Mr. Jiang silently watched Gu Jiangkuo's back.
But to be fair, the back view is not bad either.
His shoulders are broad and strong, but his waist is not thick, forming a very healthy inverted triangle. I thought he would be muscular and strong like a bodybuilder, but he looks more slender and powerful overall, probably because he is tall and has good proportions.
The skin color of the arms is darker than other parts of the body, probably due to sun exposure, and the rest of the body... is red from the neck all the way to the back. It's just a bath together, is there any need to be so shy?
Looking at other parts of his face, he has a more even wheat color, and you can tell his base color is not white either. It would be a bit unfair to the sun to say that he is completely tanned.
Jiang Nuo couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the cover photo of the financial magazine he saw in his previous life was photoshopped by the editor?
While I was thinking, I saw Gu Jiangkuo turning around.
Jiang Nuo immediately perked up, but before he could focus his eyes, Gu Jiangkuo had already covered himself with a towel and rushed over quickly - covering himself very tightly, not a bit of it escaped - and jumped into the large bathtub filled with dense foam at lightning speed.
Jiang Nuo: “……………………” Isn’t he too shy? ?
Gu Jiangkuo was tall and large, and after he jumped in, he pulled the water level up. Hot water filled with bubbles suddenly gushed out and poured into the surrounding drains, making quite a noise. Gu Jiangkuo's face turned even redder, like a giant crayfish. He hesitated, not daring to look at anyone, and said, "I'm sorry."
"...It doesn't matter." Jiang Nuo said helplessly, "Jiang Kuo, have you never taken a bath in a public bath before?"
Yanlin is a northern city with many public bathrooms, especially for their generation. Many children from ordinary families have been taking baths in public bathrooms with their parents since they were young. After all, when they were children, not every household could afford to install independent bathrooms, unlike now.
Gu Jiangkuo stammered, "I've washed it."
But that was different. How could anyone be like Jiang Nuo? At least he had never seen a boy with skin as white as tofu. Gu Jiangkuo didn't even dare to look into Jiang Nuo's wet eyes, for fear that if they looked at each other, everything would be exposed.
In fact, as soon as he entered the room and saw Young Master Jiang soaking in the bubble bath, he lost control of himself and lost his composure after seeing only a face and a shoulder.
So I didn't dare to face him directly, so I covered myself tightly with a towel.
Even now, just thinking about the fact that they were in the same pool together made Gu Jiangkuo feel like his blood was burning. He didn't even dare to get close to Jiang Nuo, for fear that he would lose control and swallow her alive.
Young Master Jiang didn't sense any danger at all, and even worried that Gu Jiangkuo was too honest and shy. He was just taking a bath, so why did he feel so embarrassed?
If you ask him now, "Are you hurt?", he will probably be scared away.
Forget it, if it doesn't work, we can wait until we come out and see. When they go out together, we can't not see anything, right? Jiang Nuo made up his mind and changed the subject with confidence: "So, have you made an appointment with your uncle?"
Gu Jiangkuo was still like a ripe lobster, his gaze wandering. He lowered his head and said like a young wife, "We have an appointment. I rescued him from Li Qing's gang last time. He owes me. So, it's okay."
"That's good." Jiang Nuo said with satisfaction.
That bastard Li Qing actually still holds a grudge against him for firing him. However, Jiang's family is getting bigger and bigger now, so Jiang Nuo is not afraid of such a small fry.
Then he heard his muscular wife say, "But, I probably won't get anything out of him. I asked him the day we rescued him, and he still insisted that my father was an orphan who escaped famine. I think so too. My father really doesn't look like the son of a wealthy family."
"If you can't find out, I might not be able to find out either." Jiang Nuo insisted inexplicably, "I'll go meet him tomorrow. I forgot to ask, have you verified grandma's will?"
"I verified it over the phone," Gu Jiangkuo whispered. "The witness was our old neighbor, an elementary school teacher. She copied the words in the will word for word."
It turned out that not long after Gu's father and mother passed away unexpectedly, Old Lady Wang decided to transfer the house under her name to her grandson. Unfortunately, Gu Jiangkuo was not yet an adult at that time and could not handle the transfer. She then came up with the idea of making a will. In fact, the old lady had a low level of education and could only write her own name. She went to find the most knowledgeable teacher among the neighbors, and the teacher helped her to find out on the Internet that a will must be written by the person himself and there must be witnesses to be valid.
So the old lady, who had never learned to write in her life, asked a teacher to draft a will for her and copied it down word for word.
I heard that he copied for many days and used up a whole book of letter paper before he finally wrote a qualified version.
The old lady was always superstitious about making a will, so she didn't publicize it and didn't rush to tell Gu Jiangkuo. Who would have thought that the following year, she unfortunately fell ill and forgot many things.
Sometimes she would forget the names of her family members, sometimes she would mistake Gu Jiangkuo, and sometimes she would throw tantrums like a child, but the old lady always remembered that her eldest grandson loved to eat milk candy, and always remembered that "this house is for Dajiang to marry a wife."
She didn't forget to love her children.
At this mention, Gu Jiangkuo finally calmed down, and the feverish redness on his face and body finally subsided. Master Jiang felt he should seize this opportunity, so he rose from the water and slowly swam over.
His hands and body were covered with foam, and only his shoulders, which were always exposed, were clean and smooth. His pair of dark eyes looked over at him, and were as white as cream.
"..." The heat that had just dissipated from Gu Jiangkuo quickly began to heat up again.
Young Master Jiang continued the conversation calmly, "Although we've already confirmed it over the phone, a matter as important as a will should still be handled with more care. Tomorrow, I'll have the Legal Department send someone to go with you to that teacher to see if there's anything else we need to pay attention to. We want to resolve it all at once to prevent your uncle from causing trouble again."
Jiang Nuo analyzed the problem clearly, but Gu Jiangkuo didn't hear a word he said. His brain crashed again, and his muscles tensed up unconsciously, and then he was patted on the shoulder unexpectedly.
When he looked up again, the pale young master Jiang was already close at hand. Jiang Nuo said with a smile, "Would you like me to rub your back? You always gave me massages in the past. Thanks to your care, I recovered so quickly. I should return the favor."
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
His eyes fell on Jiang Nuo's hands, which were so white against his slightly dark skin that they were dazzling.
Then Master Jiang instructed with a hint of cunning: "Go get the bath towel."
