When Ji Yu followed the servants to Qingqing's room, Xiaotao was just coming out of the room carrying porridge.
"Mr. Ji, you're back!" Xiao Tao was surprised to see Ji Yu.
"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Ji Yu asked.
"The young lady has been refusing to eat or drink since she was rescued from her suicide attempt the day before yesterday. She is going to drive herself to death again!"
Xiao Tao cried and explained, as if she wanted to tell you all the grievances that the young lady had suffered in the past few days.
Hearing about "committing suicide" and "not eating or drinking", Ji Yu was already heartbroken. He had only been away for a month, why did she do this?
Ji Yu hurriedly snatched the porridge from Xiao Tao's hand and ordered, "I'll go in and persuade them. You guys stay at the door and don't come in."
Ji Yu walked to the bedside, but Gu Qingqing still had her back to the door, so she didn't see him.
"I don't want to eat, get out." The girl's voice was weak and hoarse.
Ji Yu called out "Qingqing" distressedly.
Gu Qingqing seemed to have heard a familiar voice, and she stood up in disbelief.
When the girl saw that the person in front of her was really the boy she had been thinking about day and night, tears unconsciously filled her face.
Ji Yu quickly put down the bowl, walked to Gu Qingqing's bedside, carefully wiped her tears, and coaxed her gently, "Qingqing, don't cry, don't cry. I will feel bad if you cry for too long."
"Ji...Yu..." The girl stammered as she finished the two words, tears still falling.
Seeing that the girl was still crying, Ji Yu was afraid that she would hurt herself if she cried for too long.
The hands that had been carefully wiping the girl's tears now held up Gu Qingqing's face as if it were a treasure and carefully kissed the girl's eyes.
"You..." Gu Qingqing was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and even stopped crying.
"What do you mean by me... As soon as my results came out, I traveled for a long time and just arrived in Lin'an City today. I didn't even take a shower, and I stink. You must dislike me." Ji Yu rubbed his face against the girl's arm deliberately like a spoiled child.
"Why did you kiss me?" Gu Qingqing took a long time to say a complete sentence.
Ji Yu explained, "I'm your future husband, why can't I kiss you?"
"What? Cough cough cough..." There was a hint of surprise in Gu Qingqing's tone. Because the movement was so large, she couldn't help but cough weakly several times.
Ji Yu picked up the porridge that had just been placed beside the bed and said, "I'll feed you a little. I'll talk while I feed you."
After saying that, Ji Yu carefully scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew it carefully, and then put it to the girl's mouth.
When Gu Qingqing saw the gentle Ji Yu at this moment, she even felt like she was back to the time when she was about to die, and she was actually dreaming.
The young man in front of her was thin and taller than she remembered. If this was really a dream, then let her keep dreaming!
Gu Qingqing opened her mouth and took a mouthful of porridge obediently. Soon she finished a large bowl of porridge. Ji Yu also roughly explained how he had rushed back overnight to arrive in Lin'an City, and how he had discussed the whole process of proposing marriage with Gu's father.
But Gu Qingqing still felt like it was a dream, like a beautiful dream she had when she was on the verge of death.
"Qingqing. Can I lie down beside your bed for a while? You should also take a nap. I haven't closed my eyes since I started riding at 3:00 am yesterday." Ji Yu said in a coquettish way.
Gu Qingqing was only focused on looking at the person in front of her and didn't hear what he said at all.
Seeing that she had no intention of answering, Ji Yu said, "My dear, take a nap. I will stay by your bed with you."
After hearing his words, Gu Qingqing lay down, but her hands tightly grasped the corner of Ji Yu's clothes, fearing that he would run away.
Ji Yu seemed to remember something, and quickly took out a small box from his arms, took out the bracelet and carefully put it on Gu Qingqing's hand.
"This is a token of love for you. It will tie you down tightly so you won't be able to run away for the rest of your life." When Ji Yu said these sweet words, his eyes were gentle and his cheeks were a little hot.
Not until Gu Qingqing fell into a deep sleep did Ji Yu slowly stand up from the ground, his legs and feet even feeling a little numb.
When Ji Yu went out, Xiao Tao was still squatting at the door. Ji Yu said to Xiao Tao, "When Qing Qing wakes up, tell her that I will come to the Gu Mansion to propose marriage after I pack up. Tell her to wait for me."
Xiao Tao also nodded and replied quickly, "I understand, sir. I will definitely persuade the young lady."
Gu's father even specially sent a carriage to take Ji Yu to the Lu Mansion.
Ji Shuyao didn't know in advance that Ji Yu would come back. When she heard that Ji Yu was at the door, she was overjoyed and hurried out to greet him.
Ji Shuyao had an appointment with a few ladies to chat today, so now she had a reason to decline.
Ji Shuyao took Ji Yu to the hall, where Ji Shuyao's parents-in-law were also present.
Ji Shuyao just found out she was pregnant today, and Ji Yu got the top spot in the exam, so the two old people like Ji Shuyao more and more.
After Ji Yu greeted the two, he asked to talk to Ji Shuyao alone. The two old men were even more pleased to see that the two had a close relationship.
After all, Ji Shuyao is Ji Yu's only sister. If Ji Yu becomes an official in the future, can he still ignore his sister's family? If he can help, he will definitely not refuse for the sake of his sister.
After Ji Yu arrived at the room, he quickly took out the red agate bracelet he had brought for his sister from his bag.
"You didn't bring much money with you when you went out, and yet you came back to bring gifts for your sister." Although Ji Shuyao's tone was blaming, her expression was still very happy.
Seeing Ji Shuyao happy, Ji Yu brought up the serious matter, "Sister, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter?" Ji Shuyao has always loved this younger brother and basically always agrees to his requests. So since Ji Yu asked for the word "ask", it must be that she might not agree.
"I want to marry the daughter of the Gu family." Ji Yu said seriously.
Ji Shuyao asked, "What about the Gu family?" After all, there were too many people coming to propose marriage in the past two days.
"Gu Qingqing. Let's go to the Gu Mansion." Ji Yu said.
