The two played ball all morning and were evenly matched.
Gu Yan threw down the basketball. "I'm not playing anymore. I'm going home."
While twisting the cap of the mineral water bottle, Wang Boyang thought that Gu Yan's father should be at work by now, so he didn't stop him.
"Alright, let's fight again next time." After saying that, Wang Boyang tilted his head back and took a big gulp. He then handed it to Gu Yan, who rolled his eyes at Wang Boyang and didn't take it.
Wang Boyang watched Gu Yan's departing figure, then tilted his head back and drank the rest of the water in one gulp, his expression unreadable.
Gu Yan rushed home, and just as he stepped inside, he saw Li Peiyu and Aunt Li having dinner in the dining room. Gu Yan hurriedly called out, "Aunt Li, I want to eat too."
“Okay, I’ll make you another bowl,” Aunt Li readily agreed.
"Why did you come down?" Gu Yan looked at Li Peiyu with surprise.
Li Peiyu pointed to the cane lying to the side and said proudly, "I have this."
"Where did it come from?" Gu Yan asked curiously.
"Your dad had it delivered," Li Peiyu said, noticing the confused look on Gu Yan's face. "Your dad is a really nice guy."
After saying that, Li Peiyu guiltily continued to lower her head and concentrate on eating her noodles.
"Hmm," Gu Yan replied without giving it any further thought.
"You changed your clothes?" Gu Yan then noticed that Li Peiyu was not wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
"Yeah, I called a familiar shop and had a few outfits delivered," Li Peiyu replied casually.
In reality, it was Lu Yuzhi who called the brand to send over the clothes. He prepared so many for her, filling four wardrobes, as if she were going to stay there permanently.
Ding-dong
Suddenly the doorbell rang. Gu Yan got up and quickly went to open the door, returning with two large boxes in his arms.
"What is it?" Li Peiyu asked curiously.
"Ice cream." Gu Yan smiled brightly, his eyes narrowing into slits. "My dad actually bought me ice cream, that's really rare. I used to buy it myself."
Upon hearing this, Li Peiyu felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Gu Yan again. She hurriedly lowered her head and finished eating her noodles quickly, then leaned on her crutches and struggled to the sink to wash the dishes.
Living here, it's nice to be able to see Lu Yuzhi every night, but seeing Gu Yan every day is torture.
Aunt Li brought Gu Yan some noodles, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."
"Aunt Li, you should eat too."
While Gu Yan and Aunt Li were talking, Li Peiyu picked up her cane and sneaked upstairs.
"Li Peiyu, where are you going?" Gu Yan suddenly turned around and shouted.
"Let's go back to the room," Li Peiyu replied softly.
"Aren't you bored staying in your room all day? Go outside and get some sun," Gu Yan suggested earnestly, frowning.
"Oh," Li Peiyu responded weakly.
Li Peiyu had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang crisply again.
Gu Yan reluctantly got up and opened the door again, only to see several workers struggling to carry a huge box inside.
Li Peiyu asked Gu Yan curiously, "What are you doing now?"
“My dad said he wants to install an elevator in our house.” Gu Yan looked puzzled, his brows furrowed, and turned to Li Peiyu, saying, “Why does my dad always have to stir up trouble out of nowhere?”
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Li Peiyu's eyes blinked, but she knew perfectly well that Lu Yuzhi wanted to install an elevator because she had difficulty walking.
Isn't he afraid that Gu Yan will notice something's wrong with this blatant display of affection?
"Dad, why do you want to install an elevator in our house?" Gu Yan couldn't help but ask as he dialed the phone.
"I was thinking that Aunt Li is getting old and has difficulty walking, so it would be best to install an elevator in the house," Lu Yuzhi explained calmly on the other end of the phone.
"Hmm. Dad, you've thought of everything." Gu Yan hung up the phone, quickly walked to the installer who was already taking measurements, and asked, "Sir, how many days will it take to install it?"
"President Lu ordered expedited service, so it can be completed in five days," the foreman replied while busy with his work.
"Okay." Gu Yan replied, then turned to Li Peiyu and said, "There's construction going on at home these days, so you'd better stay in the yard. It's too noisy here."
"Hmm." Li Peiyu responded softly, leaning on her cane, and slowly walked into the courtyard.
"I'll help you up." Gu Yan extended his hand.
"No need, just go and get me the tablet," Li Peiyu refused.
"Okay." Gu Yan readily agreed and turned to get the tablet.
Li Peiyu sat under the parasol in the courtyard, leisurely watching her favorite drama. Gu Yan, on the other hand, was engrossed in playing video games next to her.
"Is the lab not busy anymore?" Li Peiyu asked casually.
"Well, I'm free for the next few days. I can spend every day with you now," Gu Yan said with a smile.
"Please, you really don't need to come with me," Li Peiyu said helplessly.
"Don't you feel awkward being alone in my house?" Gu Yan put down his game and looked at Li Peiyu seriously.
"I'm thick-skinned, I'm not embarrassed at all," Li Peiyu said with an indifferent expression.
"Hmm," Gu Yan put down his phone, glanced at Li Peiyu's tablet, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Li Peiyu replied, "The TV series 'Rebirth of the Overbearing CEO Seeking Love'."
"I advise you to watch less brainless dramas." Gu Yan watched with Li Peiyu for a while, when Zhang Yuwen's CEO face suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Looking at your ex?" Gu Yan teased.
"Huh?" Li Peiyu didn't react for a moment.
"Didn't you say before that you were dating Zhang Yuwen? Have you forgotten?" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow.
Li Peiyu was speechless and choked with emotion, not knowing what to say.
"I'll give you a surprise tomorrow," Gu Yan said mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense.
Gu Yan continued playing games. He couldn't relate to watching Zhang Yuwen's gay uncle in a TV series at all; it made him want to vomit.
It was only five o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Yuzhi surprisingly started tidying up the documents on the table, preparing to go home.
Qiao An hurriedly reminded him, "President Lu, President Li has invited you to dinner."
"Just make up some excuse to decline." Lu Yuzhi didn't even look up, and very elegantly straightened his sleeves.
"Isn't that inappropriate? You're the one who invited them." Qiao An looked troubled and tried to persuade Lu Yuzhi.
"I don't care, I'm leaving get off work now. You decide what to do." Lu Yu's tone was firm and left no room for argument.
“Okay, Mr. Lu.” Qiao An nodded helplessly.
Just then, an executive rushed in without knocking, shouting anxiously, "President Lu, there's a serious problem with the project in City C!"
"If a problem arises, solve it." Lu Yuzhi frowned, his tone somewhat impatient.
"Yes, we're all waiting for you to start the meeting," the executive said anxiously, sweating profusely.
"Can't the problem be solved without me?" Lu Yu stared at the executive in front of him with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
