The ward became quiet, and Gu Junzhe stared at the ceiling in a daze.

After the doctor prescribed the right medicine, his fever subsided quickly and he felt much more relaxed.

Nie Qinru went to the bathroom to twist out a warm towel and wipe Gu Junzhe's face. He reached out and took it, "Mom, I can do it myself."

"Why are you being polite to Mom?"

Nie Qinru waited for Gu Junzhe to finish wiping his face, then took the towel into the bathroom, twisted it out again, and wiped his hands.

"If you were sick when you were a child, this is how your mother would take care of you."

"That was when I was a kid, and I'm an adult now."

Gu Junzhe was a little helpless. He was a grown man who was sick, and he had to be taken care of by a mother like this.

"No matter how old you are, you are still my son."

Nie Qinru held Gu Junzhe's hand, "Since I was a child, you are the child who makes me worry the most. I just didn't expect that your relationship would have so many twists and turns."

"Mom, I let you worry."

Gu Junzhe smiled bitterly, and Nie Qinru enlightened him, "If you raise a child to be a hundred years old, you will always worry about ninety-nine. It's right for mom to worry about you. You should get well soon."

"good."

Gu Junzhe smiled faintly and said, "Mom, my fever is gone now. You don't have to worry about me anymore. Go back and rest."

"Okay, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."

Nie Qinru got up and left, knowing that Gu Junzhe needed to be alone.

Some things will be fine if you think about them.

Gu Junzhe picked up his phone, clicked on Lu Yixin's circle of friends, and found that she had closed it, maybe just to him, so that he could not pry into her life.

Well, he didn't expect that she could be so cruel.

He said let go and that he would no longer disturb her life. He would force himself to do it.

…

The next morning, Nie Qinru came and saw that Gu Junzhe's fever had gone away and his mental state was much better, so he finally felt relieved.

She opened the lid of the food box and said with a smile, "You can't eat meat for a while now. Mom made vegetable porridge for you to nourish your stomach."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Gu Junzhe took the porridge Nie Qinru handed him and drank it with his head down. Being sick, his mouth had no taste and he actually had no appetite, but he still finished the bowl of porridge.

Nie Qinru looked at Gu Junzhe's obviously thin cheeks and felt heartbroken. But she didn't say anything to avoid arousing his sadness.

"Junzhe, before you get the intravenous drip, mom will walk downstairs with you."

"good."

Gu Junzhe got up and put on his slippers, walked out of the ward with Nie Qinru, and took the elevator to the atrium garden.

Qiao An'an and Lin Xiaoya were also there. When she saw Gu Junzhe coming, she subconsciously hid behind Lin Xiaoya and urged, "Mom, let's go back to the ward, don't stay here anymore."

"We just came down, let's sit down for a while and get some fresh air."

Lin Xiaoya comforted Qiao Anan, "You and Junzhe have broken off their engagement, so you don't have to be so afraid of him. He has no hostility towards you."

If Gu Junzhe was originally hostile to Qiao Anan, now that the two families have broken off the engagement, this hostility should disappear.

Gu Junzhe didn't expect Qiao An'an to be so afraid of him. He sighed softly and said, "An'an, you don't have to be afraid of me. Just treat me as your brother."

"real?"

Qiao Anan then put down her guard and said, "You won't want to strangle me to death again, will you?"

"I never had such an idea."

Gu Junzhe was helpless. Although he did hate Qiao Anan, strangling her would not be enough.

"Oh, that's good."

Qiao Anan nodded and left without making any more noise.

Gu Junzhe sat back on the bench, cleared his mind, closed his eyes, and let the sun shine on his face.

The morning sun was warm, but it couldn't warm his heart.

"Doctor Du, morning."

As Du Yuanhang walked along, many nurses greeted him, and he nodded in response, "Good morning."

"Mom, it's Du Yuanhang."

Qiao Anan stood up happily and trotted up to Du Yuanhang, "Good morning, Doctor Du."

"morning."

Du Yuanhang responded calmly and stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Qiao Anan's smiling look was a bit cute.

"Dr. Du, I want to talk to you about my thoughts."

Qiao Anan pestered Du Yuanhang, "I'll go to your office to chat."

Du Yuanhang frowned slightly and instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of the dean's words, he could only hold back and said, "Okay."

He suddenly realized that it was useless for him to choose to work in this hospital.

Gu Junzhe originally had his eyes closed, but when he heard Du Yuanhang's name, he subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at the other person.

He is indeed the type that Qiao An'an would like, mature and steady.

"An'an..."

Lin Xiaoya could tell that Du Yuanhang didn't really want to talk to Qiao Anan. If Qiao Anan rushed to get up to him like this, it would be counterproductive.

But Qiao Anan's only focus now is to like Du Yuanhang, and what she said as a mother is of no use at all.

Lin Xiaoya sighed helplessly as she watched Qiao An'an follow Du Yuanhang away.

"Xiaoya, don't think too much."

Nie Qinru comforted Lin Xiaoya, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We really can't worry too much about them."

"yes."

Lin Xiaoya sighed softly and looked at Gu Junzhe, "Is Junzhe feeling better today?"

"It's better. Thank you Aunt Qiao for your concern."

Gu Junzhe nodded towards Lin Xiaoya, "You two chat, I'll walk around."

"Okay, let's go."

Nie Qinru watched Gu Junzhe get up and walk forward. This was the first time in the past few months that he was in such a relaxed state.

Gu Junzhe put the book in his trouser pocket with one hand and walked forward along the path. He just wanted to avoid it and did not want to join the conversation between the two women.

Qiao Anan followed Du Yuanhang into the elevator. There was also a doctor, He Xu, in the elevator. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "Good morning, old classmate."

"morning."

Du Yuanhang nodded towards He Xu, pressed the floor button, and stood beside him.

Qiao Anan stood on the other side of Du Yuanhang, listening to what they were talking about.

Since they are old classmates, there must be many private topics they will talk about.

"Old classmate, I never had time to ask you."

He Xu raised his hand and slapped Du Yuanhang on the shoulder, and said jokingly, "Your boy is very proud of his career abroad, and you have been chasing Lin Qing for many years to catch up with her. You are also proud of her love. How can you be willing to come back?"

He Xu's words made Qiao An'an's heart skip a beat and she frowned.

Du Yuanhang has a girlfriend? This woman named Lin Qing must be very attractive, right? Otherwise, how could she be his girlfriend?

She turned her head and glanced at Du Yuanhang. His face was expressionless, and he could not tell that he was proud of himself.

"I'll come back if I want to."

Du Yuanhang's tone was very calm.

"Oh? So willful? Then Lin Qing is back too?"

He Xu looked at Du Yuanhang curiously, "Are you willing to give up such a favorable working environment abroad?"

"She didn't come back."
