Gu Yuzhi laid out the freshly fried steak, took off his apron and called her.
His face was gentle, as if they had never had any unpleasantness, as if he had just returned from abroad.
Lu Xining knew that he was trying hard to go back to the past, but once things like trust and security collapsed, it was actually very difficult to rebuild.
She didn't want to annoy him, otherwise she would have done it outside the hospital or in the supermarket, and she wouldn't have waited until now.
She walked over cooperatively, and then sat down. She wanted to stabilize him and then think of a way, so she didn't break out.
Gu Yuzhi did not act overly enthusiastic, and the two of them ate quietly, which was rare peace.
He also seemed to like this kind of time. After finishing the meal, he put away the dishes and chopsticks. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still said with a smile: "Let's go."
Lu Xining said nothing.
He didn't care, he could tell he was in a good mood today.
The moment the door closed, Lu Xining truly breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that Gu Yuzhi would not come back, she locked the door, went back to the room to wash up, and lay on the bed.
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I wanted to take care of my work, but Jin Muxi's call came in.
After getting through, I saw that he was still in the ward.
"Are you feeling better?" Lu Xining asked.
"Yeah." Jin Muxi nodded and said, "Why did you leave? I can't see you when I wake up. I'm so sad."
He pouted his little mouth to express his dissatisfaction.
Lu Xining thought to herself, if she didn't leave, wouldn't his father eat him?
"Can I see you tomorrow?" Although I was tired, I thought he was still sick, so I had to reassure him.
"I want to eat chocolate cake, but we haven't eaten the cake we baked today." Jin Muxi took the opportunity to say.
"Little greedy cat, I will bring it to you tomorrow." Lu Xining promised.
"That's pretty much it." Jin Muxi pretended to agree reluctantly.
"It's getting late, go to bed quickly." Lu Xining urged.
"Can't sleep." Jin Muxi said, obviously not wanting to sleep, and made a new request: "How about you tell me a story?"
"What story? Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood?" She had never raised a child, so she had no idea what he should listen to at his age.
"Little Red Riding Hood." Jin Muxi yawned.
Although I feel disgusted in my heart, what should I do if she can only talk about these two things?
"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who always wore a red hat on her head..." Lu Xining had to be patient, organize his words, and try to tell the story as briefly and easily as possible.
"Why don't you think he ate Little Red Riding Hood directly first? Then he ate grandma?" Jin Muxi closed her eyes so sleepily that she was still asking questions.
How could she know?
Lu Xining looked at the sleeping little face on the screen, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile unconsciously, and he was not in a hurry to hang up.
She tapped Jin Muxi's thick eyelashes across the screen with her fingers, but some subtle sounds came from the other end.
She was stunned for a moment, suspecting that there was someone else on the other side of the screen.
Your surname is Jin?
Although it might be the nanny, for some reason, she intuitively felt that it was that man.
He frowned slightly unconsciously and simply hung up the phone.
The next day.
Lu Xining had been busy at the company all day, and came to the hospital in the afternoon under Jin Muxi's repeated urging.
Jin Muxi and the nanny were the only ones in the ward. She was happy to see her.
"Lu Xining!"
"Slow down, slow down, the needle is still stuck." Lu Xining hurriedly came over and held him down.
"Where's my little cake?" Jin Muxi asked eagerly.
Lu Xining opened the paper bag containing the cake and let Jin Muxi take it by himself.
He quickly took a bite, and the smile on his little face became even brighter.
"Don't eat too much, or you will get angry." Lu Xining warned.
"Yeah." Jin Muxi nodded.
How could this still be the same dragging look he had when he first met him?
Jin Muxi happily finished the cake quickly, and when he reached for the second one, he saw Lu Xining looking at him a little guilty.
Her big eyes rolled, and she took the initiative to bring the cake to her lips and said, "Share it with good friends."
Lu Xining laughed, but still took a bite from his hand.
"dad."
Before she could swallow it, Jin Muxi shouted after her.
Lu Xining subconsciously turned her head and saw the man approaching, so she took the initiative to give up her seat next to the bed.
Jin Shaoheng touched his son's head and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes." Jin Muxi nodded and said, "Would you like to try the small cake that Lu Xining and I baked yesterday?"
"Yesterday?" Jin Shaoheng frowned.
Lu Xining thought about it, how could a person like him allow his son to eat food that had been left overnight.
"Try it, just one bite. I can help." Jin Muxi put the cake in her hand to his lips again.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear to reject Jin Muxi, he actually opened his mouth and bit it, right where Lu Xining bit him.
She opened her mouth to remind her, but her lips moved and she finally closed her mouth.
She didn't think he would actually eat it, but now, if she said she had bitten it, would he be disgusted and spit it out?
But she didn't say it. In fact, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Is it delicious?" Jin Muxi was still asking for credit.
"It's delicious." The man replied seriously.
Lu Xining ignored the strange feeling in his heart and said to Jin Muxi, "Muxi, I'm going to leave now and I'll see you tomorrow."
She and "Jin Shaoheng" don't like each other, so it's better not to stay in the same space.
"So fast?" Jin Muxi was reluctant to give up.
"I'll come early tomorrow." Lu Xining reassured.
"If nothing happens to Miss Lu, you might as well stay and watch the night," Jin Shaoheng said.
It's not a discussion, it's just a matter of course.
"Ah?" Lu Xining was a little confused.
Who allowed him to make the decision for himself?
"Mu Xi got sick because of you. Doesn't it mean that Miss Lu just wants to come and see you once in a while? Isn't this too insincere?" Jin Shaoheng also pursued the responsibility.
In fact, his attitude could be better, but he was used to being aloof, so Lu Xining was not surprised.
But didn't he like being close to his son? This made Lu Xining unsure of his thoughts for a while, so I didn't rush to retort.
"What? Are you in a hurry to date your boyfriend?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Jin Shaoheng asked again.
The word boyfriend was bitten hard by him.
If he hadn't deliberately humiliated him that day and the two of them didn't know each other, Lu Xi would have thought he was jealous.
"Mr. Jin, if you say it nicely, I'm sure I'll agree." Why does it seem like she owes him?
"Ms. Lu, our boss Jin is very busy. We have social events in the evening and are often busy until early in the morning.
You see, I am getting older, and I am often unable to do what I do." At this time, the nanny came over to smooth things over.
But what does this have to do with her?
Jin Shaoheng snorted coldly and left.
The agitated Lu Xining wanted to leave, but Jin Muxi grabbed him by the corner of his clothes and shouted pitifully: "Lu Xining."
