He Yi glanced at the thousand red fruits that Huo Xiaolong had given her to eat two days ago. There was also a small bowl on the table. The woman wanted to take it away when Doctor Gu wasn't paying attention, but the old man turned his head and saw it.
"Yes! That's how she is, just leaving things lying around. I know you love your daughter, but this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Shuwen pushed the door open and came in. He picked up the bright red fruit on the table and put it in his mouth.
"What's this thing? Did you just buy it? Ah Yi, would you like some, Dr. Gu?"

She ate it herself and found it wasn't poisonous, then took it out to play with, and occasionally added a decorative touch to the house.
Doctor Gu had no idea how he got out of the Huo family's house. When he came to his senses, he was already standing outside the door, holding a small basin of Thousand Red Fruits in his arms.
The old man covered the fruit and smiled.
