The two of them were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. They had a great time talking to each other, with endless things to talk about and countless common topics.
They didn't leave until the restaurant was about to close.
"Then drive carefully and text me when you get home." Gu Nianchen said to Bai Luoyu reluctantly.
"Yeah, you too." Bai Luoyu smiled and got into the car.
Gu Nianchen watched Bai Luoyu's car drive away before getting in and driving home.
As soon as I got home, I received a message from Bai Luoyu saying that he had arrived home. I smiled and replied to Bai Luoyu before going back to my room to take a shower and go to bed contentedly.
On the other side, Bai Luoyu had been smiling since he got in the car, his mind full of Gu Nianchen talking. He thought he was knowledgeable, because of his job, he knew a lot of things.
However, during the conversation with Gu Nianchen, he discovered many problems. Gu Nianchen looked deeper and farther, including in company management. He didn't expect that Gu Nianchen had never done business himself and had no relatives in his family who were doing business.
But he saw at a glance that the problem with his law firm was a false prosperity.
It is true that all lawyers have a constant supply of cases, but this is far from enough to meet the needs of the law firm's operations, and the company has been running at a deficit for more than a year.
Gu Nianchen not only saw the problem at a glance, but also gave him a solution, and even gave him Gu Nianchen as the alternative candidate in the solution. All this made Bai Luoyu feel a little bit of admiration for Gu Nianchen.
How did he manage to be so outstanding and yet remain so low-key for so many years?
After taking a bath and looking at himself in the mirror, Bai Luoyu found that he had a smile on his face the whole time. He couldn't help but shook his head and walked back to the bedroom.
In fact, what Bai Luoyu said was true. After he went to the coffee shop with Gu Nianchen last time, he had always wanted to meet Gu Nianchen. That incident happened to be an excuse for him to ask him out openly.
However, because he had to go on a business trip immediately for the case he was working on, he had to postpone it. However, in order to see Gu Nianchen earlier, he squeezed the ten-day schedule into seven days.
And as soon as he booked the return ticket, he made an appointment with Gu Nianchen to ensure that he could see him after he came back.
So he came out of the airport and went straight to the restaurant with his luggage still in the car.
Thinking of the concerned look on Gu Nianchen's face when he took his pulse, Bai Luoyu felt his heart start beating wildly.
As he thought about it, he became shy like an innocent boy and grabbed the quilt to cover his face.
"Bai Luoyu, stop thinking about it. It's time to go to bed." Bai Luoyu said to himself, turned over, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down and sleep.
-------------------------------------
The next day, Gu Nianchen went to the pharmacy to get medicine for Bai Luoyu. He was not confident about the temperature of the medicine at the pharmacy, so he took it home and boiled it himself.
Grandpa Gu came over when he smelled the fragrance of the medicine, muttering to himself what the medicinal herbs were suitable for and what diseases they were used for. Grandpa Gu told them all without missing a word.
"Grandpa, you haven't seen patients for a long time. It feels a bit boring." Gu Nianchen joked with his grandfather.
"Hmph, tell me the truth first. Who is this for?" Grandpa Gu asked with a smile.
"With your understanding of Chinese medicine, you have already guessed it, right?" Gu Nianchen knew that he would not be able to hide it from his grandfather. Chinese medicine is very particular about the use of medicines, and the physiques of men, women, young and old are all different.
Grandpa Gu could immediately tell who this medicine was for, so he planned to confess.
"Well, that's good. According to the dosage of the prescription you prescribed, the patient should be in good health. Bring him home someday and let grandpa take a look. Although you have learned a lot, you lack experience in medical consultation. Don't delay him." After Grandpa Gu finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Gu Nianchen agreed with a smile behind Grandpa Gu.
He scratched his head and continued to decoct medicine for Bai Luoyu. After letting it cool down, he sealed it in plastic and drove to deliver it to Bai Luoyu.
Because he had already told Bai Luoyu before coming, the latter waited for him downstairs of the office building after get off work.
"Hi, Luo Yu." Gu Nianchen saw Bai Luoyu from afar and called him over.
He took out a week's supply of Chinese medicine from the car and said, "Take one pack a day. After a week, I'll take a look at it and decide if the prescription needs to be adjusted."
Bai Luoyu took the medicine bag as if he had caught a bomb, and swallowed his saliva, as if the bitter taste had already spread in his mouth.
"I added some Chinese herbs in it for you. It tastes sweet. Don't worry about drinking it. I spent an entire afternoon making it. You can't throw it away, remember?" Gu Nianchen looked at Bai Luoyu's bitter face, afraid that he would throw it away when he got home.
So he deliberately exaggerated it a little so that Bai Luoyu would feel embarrassed to waste the fruits of his labor.
"Ah! You made it yourself. Okay, I will definitely drink it all." Bai Luoyu agreed.
Gu Nianchen smiled with relief: "How is it? Do you have any plans for tonight? If not, how about having dinner together?" Gu Nianchen thought how could he be satisfied with just meeting in person? He had to have dinner and chat, otherwise how could he sleep at night when he went back.
"I have an appointment with a client tonight, so I'm afraid it won't work. It's an old client." Bai Luoyu said apologetically.
"It's okay. Do you need to drink? How about I be your driver?" Gu Nianchen knew that when Bai Luoyu first entered the industry, in order to get big cases, he was famous for drinking recklessly with clients.
Although he rarely takes on such financial cases now that he is working on his own and the clients he meets don't require drinking parties, this kind of scene is still inevitable if his old clients come to him, so he is a little worried.
"No need, I'll drive there. If you've been drinking, you can just find a designated driver. How can I trouble you? You should go back early." Bai Luoyu waved his hand quickly.
"It's not a big deal, actually. If you feel like you've drunk too much or feel unwell, just give me a call." Gu Nianchen said worriedly.
"Yeah, okay."
"Then I'll go first. If you go home directly, please send me a message, otherwise I won't be worried." Gu Nianchen had just opened the car door when he remembered to give another reminder.
Bai Luoyu was amused by him: "Why are you nagging like my boyfriend?"
"Huh? Do you have a boyfriend?" This sentence scared Gu Nianchen.
"Ah? No, no, I mean, it seems like, don't people only care so much when they are in love? Okay, you should go home soon." Bai Luoyu spoke faster and faster, and pushed Gu Nianchen into the car in a panic. He left with a red face, holding the Chinese medicine bag.
Gu Nianchen was sitting in the car with a bright smile on his face, humming a song all the way home.
