Gu Huasheng did not force Ruan Ning to stay by his side to take care of her, but he allowed the two of them to stay for dinner before leaving.
Ruan Ning also felt that they hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and it would not be a good idea to leave in such a hurry, so he agreed.
When she agreed, she deliberately glanced at the man next to her, and when she saw that he did not show any resistance, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the relationship between the father and son is not as bad as imagined. It is just because both of them are stubborn and neither of them will give in. They don't get along much in normal times, so they seem more distant.
She can bring Gu Yicheng to visit more often in the future, and the improvement of the relationship between father and son is just around the corner.
While Ruan Ning was excitedly planning how to restore the relationship between father and son, dinner was quickly prepared.
There were only two dishes and one soup on the table, one meat and one vegetable. Before the end of the world, this might not be a big deal, just the standard of an ordinary family. But in the end of the world, people who can afford to eat hot meals and no longer have to eat canned bread are considered to be in the upper middle level in the Hope Base. What's more, it was two dishes and one soup, and they could be eaten with rice. This was already considered a very high standard.
After all, it is very rare for Ruan Ning and Gu Yichen to go to a restaurant for lunch and order eight dishes at once, even in the entire base. Ordinary psychics would go there at most once every ten days or half a month, and order one or two dishes each time just to try something new.
This time the dish is fish.
Gu Yicheng sat on Ruan Ning's left and carefully helped her pick out the bones from the fish before placing it on her plate.
Ruan Ning had been silently picking up the only vegetarian dish on the table since the meal began, without even picking up her chopsticks. Suddenly, she looked at the fish meat on the plate with the bones already picked out, and was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and smiled at the people around her. She didn't touch that fish not because she didn't like it, but because she had had a fish stuck in her throat before, and she was afraid to pick out the bones, so every time she ate this kind of fish with bones, she could only watch from the side.
As a result, many people thought she never ate fish since she was a child. Few people knew that she liked it.
He didn't expect that he would discover her habit at this moment today.
Gu Huasheng, who was sitting opposite them, also noticed the interaction between the two.
It’s just that the way the brother and sister get along with each other is a little too close. Now that there is nothing else to interfere with his thinking, Gu Huasheng finally discovered this abnormality.
But it was because I trusted them too much and never thought about that aspect. So even if I found something a little bit wrong, I was just a little suspicious and didn't think about it any deeper.
He poured Ruan Ning a bowl of soup from the table. "Ning Ning, eat more. You are thinner than before. It's not good to be as thin as a bamboo pole. Did your brother not give you food on the road?"
Ruan Ning smiled shyly. She was too embarrassed to tell others that they had just gone to a restaurant at noon and ordered eight dishes at once.
Gu Yicheng looked calm, picking fish bones without stopping, and said calmly: "If we hadn't gone to your place for lunch at noon today, do you think you could find us so quickly?"
"..." Gu Huasheng got angry just thinking about this. He had been at the base for two or three days, but he had never thought about coming back to report his safety. He and his uncle had to secretly send someone to look for him. For some reason, they couldn't let other forces in the base know that the Gu family was looking for him. If they hadn't happened to come to the Gu family's business this time, and the person in charge of the store had seen Gu Yichen before, and hadn't sent someone back to report, it would have been difficult to find them.
After listening to the conversation between the father and son, Ruan Ning realized that the restaurant they went to for lunch was actually owned by the Gu family.
Ruan Ning was slightly puzzled and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Yicheng. It was normal for her not to know what industries the Gu family had in the base, but he had stayed in the Hope Base for so long in his previous life, it was impossible for him to know nothing.
So there was only one possibility, that he took her there to have dinner today on purpose, and then they were discovered by Gu Huasheng's people.
Gu Yicheng and his son have a cold relationship. Unless there is an emergency, he will not take the initiative to come to the door.
In other words, he did this to fulfill her wish. She said she wanted to come and report her safety last time, but she didn't have much hope, but he still brought her here. If she didn't know about his rebirth, she would probably think like Gu Huasheng that being found this time was just an accident.
The feeling of being thought of and cared for in every way made her feel warm in her heart. Ruan Ning lowered her head to eat, bit her lip, and a trace of entanglement and distress flashed in her eyes.
If this continues, she will really be unable to leave Gu Yicheng. What should she do...
