Chapter 527 Ignoring Gu Feng, the hands of the clock in the hospital corridor quietly slipped past half past eleven. The white light was filtered by the night, and its sharpness was dimmed a few centimeters. It was wrapped in the faint smell of disinfectant and slowly floated in the air.
The black-clad bodyguard walked over lightly with an insulated bag. When the bag was opened, a steaming aroma wafted out - it was the seafood porridge and side dishes that Shen Qingling had specially ordered to be bought. Three servings were just the right amount, and it was also carefully paired with warm soy milk.
"Miss, I bought some midnight snacks."
The bodyguard handed the thermal bag to Shen Qingling and added in a low voice: "The VIP lounge has been arranged, you can go there anytime."
Shen Qingling nodded, did not respond to the call from the lounge, and just walked towards the bench carrying the thermal bag.
She knew that the father and son would always be guarding Gu Ximan at the door, but she had to be fully prepared for everything.
Gu Luo leaned against the wall, his eyes still somewhat empty, his fingers unconsciously stroking the pants that Gu Ximan bought for him.
Gu Feng put his hands in his coat pockets, and from time to time he looked up at the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the ward door, his brows furrowed with worry.
"Uncle, please eat something."
Shen Qingling walked up to Gu Feng and handed him a bowl of porridge and a side dish. His voice rarely lost its usual pride and became a little gentler: "Otherwise, if your body collapses, how will you take care of Xiao Man when she wakes up tomorrow?"
The word "Xiao Man" hit Gu Feng's soft spot. He was stunned for a moment. When he took the thermal bag, his fingertips touched the warmth of the bag wall. He forced himself to pull up the corners of his mouth and revealed a tired smile: "Thank you, little girl."
He turned to look at Gu Luo: "Xiao Luo, you should eat something too. Your friend is right. Only when you take good care of your body can you take good care of Xiao Man."
"Uncle, my name is Shen Qingling."
Shen Qingling took over at the right time, her eyes falling on Gu Feng's face with a bit of polite honesty - she knew that Gu Feng was in a complicated mood at the moment, but she still wanted him to remember her name.
Gu Feng said "Oh" and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, then I will call you Xiao Shen from now on."
He actually knew the girl's name. After all, she had publicly declared her love for Gu Luo at the charity gala a few days ago, and Shen Qingling's feelings for him were also revealed during this trip - she arranged for the vice-dean to perform the surgery, kept watch in person until late at night, and even wanted to transfer to another school with him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was interested in Gu Luo.
Jiyu didn't want Gu Luo to have any involvement with other girls, but Shen Qingling had helped a lot after all, and she couldn't just go along without even thanking Jiyu, so she could only go along with the conversation.
Gu Luoqian had no appetite at all, her stomach was empty and bitter, but when she saw the porridge handed to her by Gu Feng and heard the gentle persuasion of the two, she finally took it.
He lowered his head to untie the straps of the thermal bag and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Thank you."
He scooped up a handful of porridge and put it into his mouth. The warm porridge slid down his throat, which slightly suppressed the sadness in his heart. However, his movements were still slow, and he ate it in small mouthfuls. It didn't taste very much.
Shen Qingling looked at him like this and didn't say much. She just put her own midnight snack on the bench next to Gu Luo, with the bowl of porridge still steaming.
She sat down next to Gu Luo, her body slightly tilted, her eyes quietly fixed on his profile - the redness and swelling on his cheeks had not yet subsided, the bloodstain on the tip of his nose had faded a little, and even when he was drinking porridge, he looked listless.
"Eat more, there's more if it's not enough."
Shen Qingling said softly, with an imperceptible heartache hidden in his tone.
"Thank you." Gu Luo thanked him again and raised his hand to push Shen Qingling's porridge aside: "You should eat something too. It's too late."
"I'm not hungry."
Shen Qingling shook her head and didn't touch the porridge anymore. She just remained sitting and accompanied him quietly.
The corridor gradually became quiet, with only the soft sounds of Gu Luo and Gu Feng drinking porridge. Because it was a special floor, only occasionally a nurse would push a treatment cart past, her footsteps were extremely light, and she would soon disappear at the end of the corridor.
Gu Feng was drinking porridge, but he was always keeping an eye on the two people beside him out of the corner of his eye - Shen Qingling sat properly, not too close, but stayed with him the whole time, not even taking out his cell phone to play, just staying with him quietly.
Although Gu Luo didn't say much, he didn't refuse the company. When he occasionally raised his eyes, the emptiness in his eyes faded a little.
Gu Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Why is his son so popular with women?
Shen Qingling is good-looking and has an unusual family background. He is obviously proud and straightforward, and can express his feelings in public, yet he is still so considerate.
Shu Ning is gentle and Shu He is calm, both are rare good girls.
Even Xiaoman likes him wholeheartedly...
Even when Gu Luo was in love with Shu Ning and Shu He, the two sisters were still willing. Now, with Xiao Man's matter, there is also Shen Qingling chasing after her.
This is what is happening in public, I don’t know if there is anything else happening in private.
It's a complete mess.
The more he thought about it, the more headache he got, and the porridge in his hand lost its taste - if it was a girl from another family, he might be able to grit his teeth and persuade Gu Luo to choose one, but if that didn't work, he could just take both.
But Shu Ning, Shu He, and Xiao Man, which one of them is not his own baby?
They are all the children that I cherish the most. They are all my flesh and blood, but this kid Gu Luo has been "harmed" to all of them.
Who can I go to for justice?
The thermal bag gradually became empty. Gu Luo put down his spoon and handed Shen Qingling's porridge to her again:
"You didn't have dinner, so eat something."
Shen Qingling did not refuse this time. He picked up the rice and took small bites. The corridor was still quiet, but there was a subtle warmth that wrapped around the hospital late at night, making it less deserted.
