Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang pursed her lips and said, "Then, I want this courtyard."
Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.
He forced a smile, knowing it was because of what he had said at the door earlier that had upset her.
He lowered his eyes and mumbled, "Okay."
It's just a courtyard; he never intended to use it for anything. But since she cares so much, then he...
Gu Guanhai got up, took out the house purchase contract from the drawer, and handed it to Yu Mingxiang.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
He looked at the contract, but did not immediately reach out to take it.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "When you're fully recovered, you can give me this courtyard as payment. As for the house you gave to Tuanzi, if you're willing, I'm willing to exchange five properties in Beijing for it."
Gu Guanhai: ...
Despite feeling bitter inside, he still shook his head and said, "Tuanzi and I are destined to be together. That courtyard was a gift I gave him for his full moon celebration. Once something is given away, there's no reason to exchange it."
“Yu Mingxiang, you have no idea how important my eyes are, nor how important my body is. Don’t even mention using a country courtyard as a consultation fee, even using ten mansions in special locations in Beijing would not be excessive. If you think about it carefully, I’m actually the one who gets the better deal.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
She didn't say anything more, but she didn't accept the contract right away, insisting on waiting until Gu Guanhai recovered before accepting it.
She left Gu Guanhai's room without even asking him to keep the secret of the spiritual spring water, because...
She knew that the man would keep his mouth shut.
Since he didn't say it before, he naturally won't say it again.
Gu Guanhai watched her leave, then stared blankly at the basin of spiritual spring water.
Her openness was to draw a clear line.
He's not stupid; he can tell.
But.
This water is really precious; using it on my eyes is such a waste!
He couldn't bear to part with it!
His eyesight is probably better now; his left and right vision has improved a lot compared to before, and he can see clearly at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, but...
Which of his old comrades-in-arms didn't suffer from chronic illnesses?
This water is better left for them to drink; it might lessen their suffering from illness, and it's better than applying it to their eyes.
Thinking this, Gu Guanhai got up to get his canteen, but...
He had just received his canteen and hadn't even had a chance to fill it with water when Yu Mingxiang reappeared at the door, holding a handkerchief in her hand.
Their eyes met.
Gu Guanhai's action of filling the container with water froze in mid-air.
Yu Mingxiang's phoenix eyes widened slightly: "What are you doing?"
Gu Guanhai: "Hehe."
He chuckled awkwardly and hid the pot behind his back.
Yu Mingxiang stepped forward and threw the handkerchief directly into the spiritual spring water basin.
Upon seeing this, Gu Guanhai exclaimed: "!!!"
My heart is bleeding.
Yu Mingxiang took in his expression, gave him an amused look, and said, "I told you to apply it to your eyes, not to dodge the question! You dare to try and sneak a drink!"
Gu Guanhai's lips twitched slightly, "I didn't steal a drink, I..."
He was stealing water!
I bottled it up, intending to bring it to my old comrades.
But he dared not say it.
Yu Mingxiang pointed to the handkerchief in the basin and said in a deep voice, "Apply the handkerchief obediently. If you dare not cooperate with my treatment, you'll see!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Gu Guanhai was left feeling threatened: ...
