Chapter 51 Published
The next day after Ji Ruan woke up, Gu Xiuyi took him back to City A.
Song Ling sent a message two days ago, saying that the ward that Gu Xiuyi had requested had been completely set up.
He also emphasized several times that the ward was warm, exquisite, low-key and elegant, and Gu Xiuyi would definitely be satisfied, and Ji Ruan would definitely like it very much, so much so that he would not want to go home after taking a look at it!
These words gave Gu Xiuyi great confidence. He was already dissatisfied with the current ward at that time - the mattress was not soft enough, the pillow was flat and collapsed, and especially the bathroom, the corner of the washbasin was so sharp that it could kill someone. He would never allow Ji Ruan to go to the toilet alone in such a place.
So that afternoon, Ji Ruan, who had just taken a nap and was lying on the bed in a trance, was coaxed by Gu Xiuyi to sit up, change clothes, and stare at the small suitcase on the ground.
Aunt Zhao was putting his clothes, towels and sugar jars in there, arranging them in neat rows, and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded into small squares.
Gu Xiuyi came back with a stack of bills, and the first thing he did when he got to Ji Ruan was to pinch Ji Ruan's face.
Ji Ruan has become much more well-behaved since he fell ill. In the past, if he wanted to pinch Ji Ruan's face, he could only coax and trick Ji Ruan into giving him a little bit of favor when Ji Ruan was tired, hungry, or wanted to sleep. But now, no matter what time it is, Ji Ruan is willing to let him pinch her face.
Even in front of outsiders.
In just a few days, Gu Xiuyi's vanity was greatly satisfied. Although he didn't say anything, his heart had actually expanded at least twice as much, so much so that he felt uncomfortable unless he touched Ji Ruan's face.
He sat down next to Ji Ruan, put his arm around Ji Ruan's shoulders, and the child came over obediently.
Ji Ruan glanced around, blinked her big eyes and asked him: "Am I really going to be discharged from the hospital?"
Gu Xiuyi pulled his coat up: "Of course, what are you surprised about?"
Ji Ruan really couldn't believe it. He had never been hospitalized for such a short period of time. From the time he regained consciousness to now, it had been less than two days!
Ji Ruan felt a little elated, wondering if his physique had really become stronger. He was discharged from the hospital the next day despite such a serious injury. Could it be that his health had improved as he got older?
Then in two years, wouldn't he be able to beat Gu Xiuyi and kick Li Suian? At least he could fight Song Ling to a draw!
The beautiful imagination made Ji Ruan smile with dimples, and his pale cheeks flushed a little: "Am I getting better so quickly? But sometimes I still feel a little dizzy."
Gu Xiuyi didn’t know what Ji Ruan was thinking, he just thought that his rosy cheeks looked very beautiful, like a peach.
He smiled and shook his head, poking the pink peach: "No, we will go back to our own hospital and continue to stay. As for the dizziness, of course you will feel dizzy because of your severe anemia."
"……ah?"
Ji Ruan's face immediately fell.
The illusion of becoming a fighting master was shattered somewhat suddenly.
Gu Xiuyi saw that Ji Ruan’s dimples disappeared all of a sudden and thought that he was depressed because he was not in good health.
"It's okay," he hugged Ji Ruan in his arms, "We'll get better if we take more care of it, and I specially decorated that ward, you will definitely like it."
"Really?" He was going to be hospitalized anyway, and even a specially decorated ward was still a ward in essence, so Ji Ruan didn't care too much.
But he felt somewhat comfortable being hugged, and when he looked at the strong muscles on Gu Xiuyi's arms, he felt that it was not necessary to compete with him in a physical fight.
With Gu Xiuyi's level, he will probably never be able to win in his entire life unless he is reincarnated.
That’s not right… If they have the chance to meet again when they are old, who knows.
Gu Xiuyi is twelve years older than him. If they meet again in forty years, Gu Xiuyi will be seventy-one years old and probably can't even walk steadily. But he is still a strong old man of fifty-nine years old. Maybe he can win by then!
Ji Ruan sighed with satisfaction, and for the umpteenth time he felt how good it was to be alive and not to have a terminal illness.
In his previous life, he would not have dared to imagine the future, but now he can imagine meeting his old friend Gu Xiuyi, and even truly believes that they can all live to that age.
Gu Xiuyi only saw Ji Ruan's beautiful eyes rolling around, and pink bubbles all over her body as if she was imagining something, so innocent and romantic.
Gu Xiuyi's heart was hit hard and gradually filled with pink bubbles.
He felt that Ji Ruan must be looking forward to the carefully decorated ward and couldn't wait to rush over and move in.
"Don't worry," Gu Xiuyi rubbed Ji Ruan's face, "The ward is warm, exquisite, low-key and elegant. You won't want to go home after staying there for even one day."
Ji Ruan was so absorbed in his own fantasy that he didn't think about Gu Xiuyi's words at all. He only knew that he was constantly bragging about how unique the ward in his own hospital was.
He nodded in cooperation: "Yeah!"
This irrelevant conversation was interrupted by the nurses who came to see him off.
The sister who had been in charge of changing Ji Ruan's dressings these days was standing at the front holding flowers. The first thing she saw when she entered the door was Mr. Gu putting socks on Ji Ruan's feet.
It was plush, and printed with a bear that didn't look too smart. The aunt named Zhao who was taking care of Ji Ruan seemed to be used to it and instead gave Mr. Gu an appreciative smile.
The nurse holding the flowers: "..."
A group of nurses: "…………"
In the weather in late April, wearing plush socks did sound exaggerated. Although Ji Ruan seemed to be getting better day by day, his body was actually very weak and his hands and feet could never be warm.
The plush socks are just basic warmth-keeping for the little patient, and Gu Xiuyi even thinks they are not thick enough.
After putting on his socks, Gu Xiuyi stood up and nodded towards the door. The nurses then came in with an embarrassed smile and handed the flowers to Ji Ruan.
"Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital, you are the best-looking boy in our inpatient department~"
"Xiao Ruan, you need to miss your sister, but you don't have to come back to see me..."
“Hahahaha it’s best if you never go to the hospital again!”
Ji Ruan likes flowers. He bent down to smell them and then happily held them in his arms.
He thought about it for a long time and finally decided not to tell the nurses that, strictly speaking, he was not really discharged this time, but was just transferred to another hospital, so as not to disappoint their good wishes that he would "never go to the hospital again."
The time was almost up, and Gu Xiuyi received a call from the driver asking him to take Ji Ruan away.
The young nurse in the back row turned around and hurried to push the borrowed wheelchair at the door. Before she reached the bed, she saw Mr. Gu patting Ji Ruan on the back of the head. Ji Ruan handed the flowers to Aunt Zhao, then stretched out her arm and skillfully climbed onto Mr. Gu's shoulder.
Mr. Gu bent down slightly, hugged and lifted Ji Ruan up easily, then walked past Aunt Zhao gracefully, stepped over the suitcase, left them, glanced at the wheelchair before turning around, and said thank you politely.
But in the eyes of the ladies, that polite look carried with it a different kind of arrogance that was hard to explain.
Nurses: “…”
Aunt Zhao: Smiling.
This time when Gu Xiuyi went back, he did not take Ji Ruan on a plane. Although the plane was fast, it was actually more bumpy than taking a car. Anyway, cities AB were very close, and it would take at least two or three hours to get there, which was just the time for Ji Ruan to take a nap.
Except for the time in the car, Ji Ruan was held by Gu Xiuyi the whole time. On the one hand, the wound on his leg could easily tear if he was not careful, and the doctor had repeatedly warned him not to walk.
On the other hand, it’s also because Ji Ruan likes to be held.
It seemed that ever since he was rescued from the mountains, he had become particularly dependent on Gu Xiuyi. He always felt that he would feel at ease when being wrapped in that kind of warm body temperature. He didn't know if he had some trauma.
Just as Gu Xiuyi expected, Ji Ruan, who had just finished a nap, slept all the way after getting in the car. He was still rubbing his eyes and yawning in a daze until he was carried into the elevator and appeared in front of the door of the top-floor ward.
Gu Xiuyi held Ji Ruan with one hand and pushed open the door.
His face was extremely calm, but he was quietly looking forward to Ji Ruan's wonderful expression when he saw the beautiful ward.
The bright sunshine is blowing in.
"ha--?"
Ji Ruan stopped yawning halfway.
He opened his mouth, staring in amazement at the ward in front of him that was being praised repeatedly by Gu Xiuyi. His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed back the rest of the yawn, holding it back so much that tears welled up in his eyes.
"This..." Ji Ruan rubbed his eyes to make sure that what he saw was not an illusion: "Are you sure that I look like the type who likes this?"
He spoke each word with emphasis.
The light pink color covered the whole space in front of me, and the lightest color on the wall gave off a gentle atmosphere. The curtains were two layers of light pink translucent gauze and burgundy blackout curtains. At this moment, the blackout curtains were pushed open, leaving only the gauze curtains floating gently in the breeze.
There was also a bunch of pink, dewy hydrangeas in a glass vase on the windowsill.
The floor is covered with thick plush carpet, also light pink in color. It is so soft that it leaves a big hole when you step on it.
The most exaggerated thing is the bed.
Ji Ruan thought he had quite a lot of experience in hospitalization, but he had never seen a round bed in a hospital in his two lifetimes.
The light pink silk four-piece set, with two pillows thoughtfully placed on it, makes it a double bed that can be recognized at first glance. But forget about this little trick, Ji Ruan can just open his eyes and pretend to be blind.
But what’s outrageous is that the headboard of this bed can also be raised and lowered! There is also a small movable wooden table at the end of the bed!
Except for the shape and size, every function is exactly replicated and even an upgraded version!
Add a layer of gauze curtain on the top and it will be a real princess bed.
Looking at the whole room, it would be unfair not to call it the Swan Princess's dreamland.
Ji Ruan's gaze stayed on the bed for a long time, unable to move away.
I won’t comment on the room, but what’s the matter with this bed… he kind of likes it?
Gu Xiuyi's face didn't look very good at the moment.
It's not the creepy, gloomy feeling when one is angry, but an indescribable, slightly embarrassing, and difficult to talk about feeling - shock.
His hands around Ji Ruan tightened unconsciously, causing Ji Ruan a little pain.
"Ahem." Ji Ruan coughed to break the silence and thought carefully about his words: "Well... well, your taste is indeed quite romantic."
This was the most polite way of complimenting that Ji Ruan could think of.
What's rare is that Mr. Gu's psychological quality is still impressive. After his eyes wandered around the room, he looked at Ji Ruan without changing his expression:
"It was Song Ling who did it. I didn't know about it before."
Nonsense.
He had said a few hours ago that he had decorated this room meticulously.
It is also said to be warm, refined, low-key and elegant.
Even if he couldn't be there in person, it must be his design plan. Otherwise, who would dare to discredit Mr. Gu's aesthetic taste like this? Doesn't he want his salary anymore?
He even pushed the blame onto Special Assistant Song. Ji Ruan felt that Song Ling was so miserable.
But he didn't want to expose Mr. Gu, after all, this was Mr. Gu's affection for him.
Ji Ruan's expression was tinged with pity. When he looked at Gu Xiuyi, his eyes were full of moving waves. He poked his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Just carry me to the bed."
Gu Xiuyi was a little confused about Ji Ruan's expression, but he always felt that this person was up to no good.
His expression was solemn. He said "hmm" and walked in. The pink carpet was so soft that not even the sound of footsteps could be heard.
The mattress was even softer than in the photo, and Ji Ruan was amazed as soon as he sat on it.
He glanced at Gu Xiuyi's still somewhat tense face, thought for a moment, then took his hand and smiled: "Thank you, I'm very happy..."
Ji Ruan was unable to speak for a moment. He tried hard to forget the girlish pink all over the room and forced himself to remember only the practical function of this bed. Only then could he finish his words with a smile:
“I really like it.”
I didn't like it at first sight.
Gu Xiuyi saw Ji Ruan's forbearing expression clearly.
But he - loves it so much!
If Gu Xiuyi wanted to deduct all of Song Ling's bonuses for the next ten years when he first saw this ward, then after carrying Ji Ruan to the bed, he wanted to transfer the bonuses to Song Ling immediately.
Ji Ruan was wearing a beige coat, sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs slightly curled up. He was still wearing the pair of not-so-smart bear socks on his feet, looking a little clumsy.
But when he looked up and looked at herself, the big pink round bed made his cheeks look pinker, his eyelashes were longer than those of a Barbie doll, and his eyes were round and bright, making him look like a little princess.
He was born for this bed!
There is no one in the world more suitable for this bed and this room than Ji Ruan!
Gu Xiuyi's Adam's apple moved violently.
He couldn't help but breathe softly and pinched Ji Ruan's earlobe: "As long as you like it."
"——You take a rest, I'll run the water for you to take a bath."
Ji Ruan: "Okay."
He prided himself on being a considerate young man. Gu Xiuyi's careful decoration of the ward was like a gift to him. He would not refuse anyone's kindness and subconsciously nodded in agreement with Gu Xiuyi's words.
That is... the bathtub should also be pink, right?
Ji Ruan felt a little worried.
etc!
When did he say he wanted to take a shower?!
But Mr. Gu had already opened the bathroom door with firm steps.
