Seeing that Gu Qingcheng's expression wasn't good, the assistant didn't dare to stay any longer. He said that he still had work to do and left.
Gu Qingcheng picked up his phone and was about to dial Yun Liuli's number. He had already dialed the number and was about to connect, but his hand still paused.
This should be what he had been hoping for all along. Why was he angry now?
After a long while, Gu Qingcheng silently put down his phone.
…
Yun Liuli brought Zhou Yuchen to the hospital. The results of the checkup showed that Zhou Yuchen's ribs were fractured in two places, and there were also old and new injuries of various sizes.
It was inevitable that he would be hospitalized. Guan Nina rushed to the hospital when she received the news.
She only felt at ease after knowing that Zhou Yuchen was fine. She couldn't help but feel guilty. She looked at Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen, who had already put on the hospital gown and said, "I'm sorry. It's all my friend circle's fault …"
"It's okay. How can you be blamed for this?" Yun Liuli leaned against the window and took out her phone to look at the time. She asked Zhou Yuchen, "Are you hungry?"
Zhou Yuchen nodded.
"I'll go buy food! I feel guilty about this. I have to do something for you guys to feel at ease! " Guan Nina quickly picked up her bag and said, "I'll be your delivery person and go out to buy food. What do you guys want to eat?"
"I want to eat fried rice with pickled cabbage and shredded pork!" Yun Liuli didn't care about friendship and straightforwardly told them what she wanted to eat.
"What about you, Zhou Yuchen?" Guan Nina looked at Zhou Yuchen, feeling a little uneasy.
Zhou Yuchen said, "Same as … Yun Liuli!"
Guan Nina's heart was thumping wildly. Zhou Yuchen was talking to her!
Guan Nina was overjoyed. She felt that she had finally taken a step forward in her long journey to woo Zhou Yuchen. Therefore, she nodded and quickly ran out.
Only Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen were left in the ward. Zhou Yuchen, who was sitting on the bed, gently gripped the bedsheets under the blanket. He looked at Yun Liuli and said in a low voice, "Do you feel that I'm very useless, that I'm always bullied by others?"
Yun Liuli shifted her gaze away from the phone screen. Her eyes were clear and confused. She then shook her head. "I already said that when I see you, I wish I could see my past self. To be honest … I quite like my past self!"
Zhou Yuchen's heart thumped twice, and he felt uneasy as if his heart was palpitating.
Seeing him reminded her of the past Yun Liuli. She quite liked her past self …
Did that mean that Yun Liuli quite liked him?!
Zhou Yuchen's ears turned red.
"Me too …" Zhou Yuchen's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "I also like the current you!"
Yun Liuli nodded. "En, so work hard and study hard. If you have the ability to pull me down from the number one position in the faculty … you can also be like me, feeling that what others think is just fleeting clouds!"
When Yun Liuli said this, there was no arrogance or complacency. She was just calmly narrating, but it allowed Zhou Yuchen to set a goal in his heart.
Right now, as a student, the only thing he could do was to stop fooling around and improve his grades …
Yun Liuli was a straight-A student, so he had to be a straight-A student who was worthy of her!
Zhou Yuchen's eyes reddened. He looked at Yun Liuli as if he was looking at his entire world.
Twenty minutes later, Guan Nina came back with fried rice with pickled cabbage and tomato egg soup, as well as barbecued meat and crispy roasted chicken bones. Before she could set them out for Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen to eat, Yun Liuli received a message from Gu Qingcheng.
[Please take note of resting your eyes when reading for a long time.] [Evil Monkey]
[Are you coming back for dinner tonight?]
Yun Liuli's lips curled up as she replied to the message. She then looked up at Guan Nina and Zhou Yuchen and said, "You guys eat. I have something on, so I'll be leaving first!"
Zhou Yuchen looked at Yun Liuli and asked, "What's the matter? You're not even eating?"
"My family is asking me to go home for dinner!" Yun Liuli carried her bag, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes. "You guys eat well!"
Guan Nina clearly misunderstood. She thought that Yun Liuli was deliberately creating an opportunity for her, so her ears couldn't help but turn red. She sent Yun Liuli to the door of the ward, then winked at Yun Liuli. "As expected of my good sister!"
Yun Liuli raised her brows, realizing that Guan Nina had misunderstood her. Yun Liuli couldn't be bothered to explain. Anyway, in the end, Zhou Yuchen and Guan Nina would be alone in the ward. It wouldn't be bad if they could develop a relationship.
Zhou Yuchen stood in front of the window and watched as Yun Liuli walked out of the ward. She grabbed the straps of her bag, and her excited footsteps quickly disappeared from his sight.
Family …
Zhou Yuchen had always been envious of people who had family. He hoped that one day … Yun Liuli's family could also become his family. He hoped that one day, after receiving a call, he and Yun Liuli could happily tell others that their family was asking them to go home for dinner.
After leaving the hospital, Yun Liuli took a taxi back to the Cloud Top Condominium. The moment the elevator door opened, Yun Liuli looked toward the brightly lit dining room. There were dishes on the dining table that had been put away, but she didn't see Gu Qingcheng anywhere. She casually placed her bag on the shoe cabinet and said, "I'm back …"
There was no reply from inside the room. Yun Liuli felt a little perplexed. She had clearly replied to Gu Qingcheng's message, saying that she would be back for dinner. Could it be that he had something to attend to and had gone out?
Yun Liuli changed into slippers and went to Gu Qingcheng's room. She saw that on the large bed, which was covered with gray bedsheets, was Gu Qingcheng's suit shirt that he had taken off not long ago.
Hearing the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, Yun Liuli walked to the bed and reached out to touch Gu Qingcheng's clothes, which were still warm. She knew that Gu Qingcheng had just entered.
Yun Liuli stood outside the bathroom door and said to the bathroom, "I'm back …"
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Gu Qingcheng's mature voice rang out from behind the door. "Change your clothes and go eat first. There's no need to wait for me!"
"I'll wait for you. I'll go wash my face and change my clothes first!"
After saying that, Yun Liuli left Gu Qingcheng's room.
Gu Qingcheng stood under the shower head, turned on the hot water, and closed his eyes … On the way back, Gu Qingcheng had already thought things through. He planned to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Yun Liuli.
After estimating the time, Yun Liuli moved the bowls away and scooped some rice. When Gu Qingcheng came out, he saw the young lady setting the chopsticks.
Gu Qingcheng wiped his hair with a towel and walked into the dining room. Yun Liuli didn't even raise her head before saying, "Let's eat!"
"I have something to tell you …" Gu Qingcheng pulled out a chair and placed the towel he used to dry his hair on the back of the chair. He said to Yun Liuli, "Sit down first."
After Yun Liuli sat down, she raised her head and looked at Gu Qingcheng. She held the chopsticks in her hand and thought for a moment before asking, "Is it about me borrowing your assistant today?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yun Liuli with his dark and deep eyes and said calmly, "Putting aside the fact that this boy called Zhou Yuchen is an illegitimate child, he's also been bullied since he was young …"
There was no one to look after the child today, so tragically, Qianqian didn't manage to finish writing her update in the wee hours of the morning. By now, the child was already asleep. Since Qianqian was the one writing the update, the other two children didn't need to wait either. They could go to sleep first … and read it tomorrow!
