Chapter 276 Who do you have a crush on?
It was three days later that Gu Ranle recovered completely.
She missed the high school reunion that Liang Can specially arranged, and felt a little regretful.
But, how can life be without regrets?
Just like the weather, sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is cloudy and rainy, which is normal.
After recovering from the illness, Gu Ranle had obviously lost weight.
She herself didn't care too much about it. She had just recovered and didn't have much strength yet. She felt soft and limp, like a kitten that just woke up.
The sky is cloudy today, with an occasional breeze. The temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot, very comfortable.
Gu Ranle was lying on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun while flipping through the book in her hand.
The sunlight shone through the clouds onto her, making her feel so warm that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Gu Jiu came over with a bowl of fish soup, "Drink some fish soup and rest your eyes."
Gu Ranle put down the book and reached out to take the fish soup. A fragrant aroma filled her nose, making her swallow her saliva.
She took a sip and found it to be just the right amount of sweet and salty, and delicious. She couldn't help but praise, "It's delicious!"
"Master, can I go out today?" Gu Ranle asked tentatively while drinking fish soup.
Gu Jiu frowned, his tone was a little stern, "Just because you want to go out? Is there something urgent? Can't you wait for two days?"
Gu Ranle curled her lips, drank another mouthful of fish soup, and then said slowly: "Nothing, I've just been stuck at home these few days, I'm so bored, I want to go out and get some fresh air."
Gu Jiu looked around. The yard was spacious and bright, with lush flowers and plants. There were also a few birds chirping on the branches, making the yard look full of vitality.
"Our yard is so big, isn't it enough for you to breathe freely?" he asked back.
After a pause, he continued, "There's a lot of car exhaust outside, but the air here is fresh?"
Gu Ranle was speechless after being asked this question. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. "Actually, I made an appointment with Liang Can to have dinner together."
"Really?" Gu Jiu chuckled, sat down on the chair next to her, picked up the book she had just read, flipped through a few pages, and then spoke lightly, "Liang Can went on a business trip out of town today. Don't you know? Can you do some research before you lie next time?"
Gu Ranle's mouth twitched, and she felt a little embarrassed, but she still said, "Old man, are you lying or am I lying? Your lie is too smooth, isn't it? How did you know that Liang Can was on a business trip? Don't tell me that he called you to report before he went on a business trip."
Gu Jiu glanced at her, a smile on his face, "I'm not his grandfather, why would he report anything to me? He posted on WeChat Moments before boarding the plane, and I saw it."
When Gu Ranle heard this, he was suddenly speechless and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
In order to hide her discomfort, she drank three mouthfuls of fish soup in a row, pouted her lips and muttered: "When did you two add each other as friends? How come I didn't know?"
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression. "How could I know you were lying if I didn't add you as a friend? Gu Ranle, you really lie without thinking. I'm telling you, you are not allowed to go anywhere today. Just stay at home."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you so fierce?" Gu Ranle grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I've just recovered from my illness. Can't you be a little gentler? You have a stern face all day long, as if someone owes you money."
Gu Jiu looked at her aggrieved look, and his heart couldn't help but soften a little, but his mouth was still hard, "Gentle? Why didn't you think of being gentle when you lied? If you dare to lie again next time, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Gu Ranle stuck out her tongue and made a face, "I know, I know. I won't dare to do it again next time."
After saying that, she picked up the fish soup again and drank it happily.
The sunlight shines on her, creating a warm and slightly playful picture.
Gu Ranle sighed silently in his heart. He had been planning to go to the game company today, but now he realized that he might not be able to go out.
"Master, where is that guy Li Xiuneng?"
Gu Ranle suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Li Xiuneng for a while. She stopped drinking the fish soup, turned her head and asked Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu didn't even raise his head, and continued to flip through the book in his hand, saying casually: "Sleep in the room."
Gu Ranle frowned, looking puzzled. "Why is he sleeping so early in the morning? Didn't he get enough rest last night?"
Gu Jiu was quite calm and said slowly, "I gave him an injection."
She sticks to his granddaughter all day long, calling her "baby" all the time, which makes him annoyed.
Let him have a good sleep, and his ears will be quiet.
Gu Ranle's eyes widened when he heard this. "Old man, you are a doctor, saving lives. How can you do such a wicked thing? If you don't want to see him, why don't you just send him home? Why do you have to do this?"
Gu Jiu snorted disapprovingly, "I just let him sleep for a while, and I didn't do anything harmful to his body. How can this be called an unethical act? I have been practicing medicine for most of my life, and this is the first time I have been belittled like this, and by my own granddaughter!"
As he spoke, Gu Jiu slammed the book in his hand on the table, crossed his arms, and glared at Gu Ranle angrily.
Seeing this, Gu Ranle couldn't help but curl her lips and gently poked his arm with a spoon, "Hey, you're still angry? If my great-grandfather knows about this, and he doesn't punish you, I'll be a vegetarian for three days."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared, "You little heartless guy, you are using your great-grandfather to pressure me."
Gu Ranle chuckled and said coquettishly, "Master, I know you are annoyed with him, but you can't treat him like this. He is a disabled person now and has low self-esteem. Isn't it a bit of bullying for you to do this?"
Gu Jiu snorted coldly and chose to remain silent.
Gu Ranle sighed helplessly, finished a bowl of fish soup, and held up the empty bowl, "Old man, I want more."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly and said unhappily: "If you want fish soup, go to the kitchen and get it yourself!"
Gu Ranle stood up slowly, and as soon as she stood up straight, she let out a cry of "ouch", then sat down again, rubbing her legs with both hands, looking at Gu Jiu pitifully.
"Master, my legs are weak, please help me get a bowl."
Gu Jiu snatched the bowl from her hand, rolled his eyes at her, and muttered, "I'm sick and I'm being hypocritical to you!"
Gu Ranle was unhappy when she heard this, and she pouted and retorted: "Don't you always say that I don't act like a girl? I finally acted like a spoiled child, but you said I was hypocritical. You are really hard to please, old man."
"Master, add some coriander and chopped green onion!" Gu Ran was more and more demanding and continued to give orders.
"Master, add a few drops of vinegar." She blinked her eyes, looking expectant.
"Master, please give me a bigger bowl." She was still not satisfied and made a new request.
"..."
Gu Jiu felt overwhelmed after listening to her many requests.
Without even turning his head, he said, "I might as well bring the pot to you!"
Gu Ranle replied with a smile: "Okay! Thank you, Grandpa!"
Li Xiuneng slept until noon.
Gu Jiu also prepared lunch.
Gu Ranle went to call Li Xiuneng to eat.
As soon as she walked to the door of the room, she heard Li Xiuneng's confused voice coming from inside.
Li Xiuneng was lying on the bed with his eyes half open and half closed, and he hadn't figured out where he was yet.
It wasn't until he saw Gu Ranle that his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Baby..." He stretched out his arms towards Gu Ranle, asking for a hug like a little child.
Gu Ranle walked over and picked the person up.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuneng held her tightly and refused to let go, like a dog-skin plaster.
"Baby, I just had a dream. I dreamed that you married someone else and you didn't want me anymore." There was a hint of grievance and uneasiness in Li Xiuneng's voice.
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes helplessly and looked at the grown man in her arms, who was becoming more and more childish.
"Baby, do you really not want me anymore?" Li Xiuneng asked again, his eyes full of worry.
Gu Ranle sighed, patted his back, and comforted him: "If that day comes, don't worry, I will tell you and make it clear to you. Day after day, I think about all sorts of things when I'm awake, and I think about all sorts of things when I'm asleep. I don't have any thoughts of falling in love with someone else now, but I can't stand you nagging me every day. If you get tired of me one day, I will make your dream come true."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuneng quickly tightened his arms and hugged Gu Ranle even tighter: "Baby, I don't allow you to have such thoughts. You can only be mine."
Gu Ranle was a little breathless in his embrace, struggling with both hands, mumbling: "Okay, eat first, or it will get cold if you don't eat now."
After finally breaking free from Li Xiuneng's arms, Gu Ran carried him to the wheelchair.
She pushed the wheelchair to the bathroom, wet a towel, wiped his face and hands, and asked, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Li Xiuneng blushed, nodded, and whispered, "I can do it myself."
He still felt embarrassed to ask her to help with things like urination and defecation.
Gu Ranle looked at his face which turned red, and swallowed back the teasing words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She sighed inwardly, this guy is sometimes as thick-skinned as a city wall, but sometimes as thin as a cicada's wing.
She handed him the urinal and walked to the door to wait.
After a while, Li Xiuneng's voice was heard from inside: "Okay."
Gu Ranle went in and pushed him out, saying as she walked, "I asked Li Jiashu to go back. I've put a pager on the bedside for you. Call me if you need anything."
Li Xiuneng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it inconvenient for him to be here?"
Gu Ranle shook her head and explained, "No, he took care of you for three years. His girlfriend broke up with him because of you. Now that you have woken up and can take care of yourself, you should give him the freedom to do what he wants."
Li Xiuneng felt guilty after hearing this and whispered, "I have been a burden to him over the past few years."
Gu Ranle patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's good that you know. Be nice to him in the future. It would be best if you could introduce him to a reliable girlfriend. If he wants to be unable to find a wife for his whole life because of you, you should support him in the future."
Li Xiuneng smiled bitterly and said, "Besides you, I don't know any other women. Where can I introduce them to him? You know a lot of people. How about you introduce one to him?"
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I don't fit in. Apart from Zhou Xiaoliu, I don't know any other women."
"Who is Zhou Xiaoliu?" Li Xiuneng asked curiously.
Gu Ranle explained, "My grandfather's little apprentice sister, my great-grandfather's favorite disciple, is about the same age as me. But don't set your sights on her, she's already married. Actually, you and her husband have the same surname, and his surname is also Li, Li Zhengze."
Li Xiuneng was stunned at first, then he seemed to understand something and said sourly: "What a coincidence? Or do you choose men based on their surnames? You didn't fall in love with me because my last name is Li, did you?"
Gu Ranle raised an eyebrow, "You're so smart, you figured it out!"
"Then you're not still secretly in love with your aunt's man, are you?"
Gu Jiu happened to be coming out of the kitchen carrying food. He didn't hear the whole thing, but he heard the important information.
His hands shook and the plate in his hands almost fell to the ground.
"Gu Ranle, tell me clearly, who are you secretly in love with?"
