After a simple dinner, Su An lay down to rest again.
Gu Jingchen didn't seem to have the slightest intention of leaving, so Su An had to turn her back to him all night. Her heart was in a mess and her spirit was extremely exhausted. She didn't know when she fell asleep deeply.
When I woke up again, it was completely bright outside the window.
She listened for a while and found that there was no sound in the room, so she sat up carefully. When she looked back, she found that Gu Jingchen was not in the room.
Su An was inexplicably relieved, her mind was filled with the complicated dreams from last night.
In the dream, she seemed to have returned to the "Gu family" where she once lived.
Qiu Shuya was the same as before, making various demands on her and teaching her how to be a "Mrs. Gu."
But the difference was that the Gu Jingchen in the dream didn't care about her like he did back then.
Instead, he defends her, takes care of her and protects her everywhere.
It completely coincides with who he is now.
It's as if the current Gu Jingchen has traveled back in time.
Su An was a little lost in thought. It took him a while to realize that all he could think of was Gu Jingchen, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.
She seems to have confused the current Gu Jingchen with the former one.
It's just... no matter how good Gu Jingchen is now, it's impossible... between them.
Putting everything aside, she can't... I'm sorry, senior.
"Click——"
There was a sudden sound from the door of the ward.
Su An came to his senses instantly and looked over quickly, thinking it was Gu Jingchen who was back.
Unexpectedly, I saw a familiar figure.
"Sister Zixin..."
Su An looked at Lu Zixin standing at the door with some surprise, thinking that she would come.
"Miss Su."
Lu Zixin smiled, walked in, and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
Then he asked with concern, "How is your injury? Did you rest last night?"
"I'm fine already..."
Su An shook her head, looking at her friendly yet distant smile, she felt a little sad in her heart.
Lu Zixin's expression was also a little subtle. He stared at her for a moment and made sure that she was fine. Then he said softly, "I came to you. Firstly, I want to apologize to you for what Ziying did. Secondly, I want to thank you.
I helped her speak in front of Gu Jingchen yesterday."
Su An was stunned when he heard this, and the tip of his nose suddenly sore.
This was the first time after Lu Ziting's accident that someone from the Lu family spoke to her so kindly.
At first, the Lu family's parents didn't want to see her again, and Lu Ziying hated her to the core.
Although Sister Zixin never said a single unpleasant word to her, her kindness to her... was gone, only silence.
She doesn't resent any of this, and knows that she deserves it.
But now...
Su An didn't want to cry in front of her, so she took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "Sister Zixin, this is what I should do, I owe you..."
"Su'an."
Lu Zixin knew what she wanted to say and raised her hand to interrupt.
The title also changed from "Miss Su" just now to a somewhat helpless call to her name.
Su became quiet and waited for her to speak.
Lu Zixin did not speak for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, he continued, "I have always hoped that both my parents and Ziying could slowly come out of what happened back then, including you."
Su An suddenly lost consciousness for a moment when he heard the last three words.
"No one wants such an accident to happen. Although it happened because of you, I think... Ziting protected the person he loves most. Even at the moment before leaving, he should not regret it..."
Lu Zixin's eyes were a little red.
She wiped the corners of her eyes, suddenly looked at the bag in her hand, and opened the zipper.
"You have always said that you owe the Lu family, so let's just consider what happened yesterday to be clear between us. Ziying is not mature enough yet. During this period, I will accompany her to recuperate abroad, and my family's company will
With my husband taking over temporarily, you can rest peacefully and she won't trouble you anymore, and..."
Lu Zixin paused for a moment, then suddenly took out a palm-sized photo frame from her bag and placed it on the cabinet next to the bed.
Su An glanced over subconsciously, and when he saw the content clearly, he was suddenly startled.
It was a sketch of hers.
And it was like when I was a student.
Lu Zixin stood up and seemed to have finished what she wanted to say.
Finally, he said, "This painting has always been placed on the table by Zi Ting. It has been kept with me for the past year. Now, I will give it to you as a souvenir for you. From now on... you and
We, the Lu family, owe nothing to each other."
After Lu Zixin finished speaking, she took one last look at the photo frame on the table and turned to leave.
The door opened and she walked out, but her steps stopped abruptly.
Beside the door, Gu Jingchen didn't know when he came and was standing there.
Lu Zixin said nothing, just nodded to him, then turned and walked away.
Gu Jingchen watched her figure disappear, then opened the door and walked in.
He heard everything the two people said just now.
Su An had already picked up the photo frame and looked at it carefully in her hands.
Hearing the sound of someone entering the door, he didn't look up.
"An'an."
Gu Jingchen put breakfast on the table and looked at the portrait in her hand, a flash of darkness quickly flashed in his eyes.
Su An also came to his senses, and almost subconsciously took off the photo frame in his hand and placed it next to his pillow.
Then he looked at Gu Jingchen, not knowing what to say.
The embarrassment from yesterday continues to this day, and it seems that the time has come for me to have to explain myself.
But...what should I say?
And the mission that the mysterious man left for her...
Although the two had had many relationships some time ago, she was not sure that she would be able to get pregnant smoothly.
If she hadn't gotten pregnant, would she have to bear her current status and be with Gu Jingchen...
Su An frowned suddenly, her head hurting like a pinprick.
Gu Jingchen thought she was uncomfortable and asked hurriedly, "An'an, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you still hungry? Do you want to have some breakfast first? This is the chicken soup I asked the kitchen to stew when I got home in the morning. You can take it while it's hot.
Have a drink?"
If other people saw this caring and nagging look, their jaws would probably drop in shock!
Su An was also in a daze for a moment.
Although she didn't want to admit it, this time, she could really feel that she was held in the palm of Gu Jingchen's hand and he really cared about her.
but……
Su An sighed silently in her heart, said nothing, and took the chicken soup.
Seeing that she was willing to eat, Gu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Helping her set the table, pick up the bowls and chopsticks, serve a small bowl of soup herself, and finally put a wet wipe on her hands. She was like the most perfect caregiver.
"You...don't have to do this, I can do it myself."
Su An couldn't explain how she felt, instinctively she didn't want to be taken care of too much by him.
