"I must not be sick! I absolutely cannot get injured! From now on, I must take good care of myself. Although she didn't give me that soul-crushingly bitter medicine this time, she still has other methods! This method is even more potent – I can see it, smell it, but I can't have it! At this moment, Ji Xingmi was no longer a little fairy in his eyes, but a little devil in a red dress, grinning wickedly! Ji Xingmi didn't care about him at all! Moreover, she was indeed a little tempted by him to do this.
Before going to sleep, Ji Xingmi gave him another pill. Then she sent him back to his room to rest. Gu Jingnian felt that this was the best night he had slept since he was injured. He wasn't woken by pain, there were no people coming and going, and no disheartening words about his condition being incurable. He even felt that he slept better and more peacefully than when he was healthier.
Gu Jingyi rushed from Ji Xingmi's place to the hospital. When he arrived, his second aunt had already learned the details from the院长 (yuan zhang - hospital director). She was currently with Ji Mama, inquiring about the situation. Ji Mama only found out after Ji Xingmi and the others had left. By the time she received the news and rushed over, she hadn't even seen Ji Xingmi. She had heard from Ye Yu about Ji Xingmi's condition and was a bit worried about her. As for Gu Jingnian's mother, they were good friends, so when Gu Jingyi entered, the two women were chatting.
Gu Second Aunt was also startled when Gu Jingyi walked in. "Jingyi? Are you looking for me?"
"Second Aunt, Jingnian has been brought to the sanatorium by us, and Xing'er is treating him. We didn't have time to tell you because the decision was made so suddenly!" Gu Jingyi explained with great embarrassment. He really hadn't thought much about it at the time.
"I already know about this. You are something else. They didn't think of it, but why didn't you think of it? When I first saw that empty room, do you know how worried I was!?"
"Second Aunt, I'm sorry. It's my fault!"
Gu Second Aunt was quite angry at first, but more than that, she was scared. She had seen the injuries on her own child and knew his long-held aspirations even better. To put it bluntly, she had always worried that Jingnian would become despondent. So when she arrived and saw no one in the room, her heart was truly in her throat. Later, when she learned he was taken away by Ji Xingmi, she didn't know why, but her heart instantly relaxed, and she even had an inexplicable feeling that her son would overcome this difficult hurdle. So now she was very calm: "Tell me, when can I go see him?"
Gu Jingyi answered truthfully, "Xing'er said you can go tomorrow!"
"Alright then, I'll go over tomorrow."
"Jingyi, I want to go see her too. Is it convenient?" Ji Mama, after hearing this, also felt the urge. She wanted to see her precious daughter, to hug her, and confirm she was alright. This child first encountered the old man, and now that the old man was in trouble, she was definitely the most heartbroken. And that shameless Feng family, she would skin them alive sooner or later! How dare they scheme against them at this time, do they think they are dead?!
"Yes, okay! I'll pick you up in the morning. Second Aunt, are you going home to stay today, or...?"
"I'll stay at your Aunt Ji's place. It's too chaotic at home right now, I don't want to go back!" Gu Second Aunt didn't want to go back and face her eldest sister-in-law's attitude! As if she was so great!
"That's perfect. I'll take you both back. I also have something to discuss with Uncle Ji." Gu Jingyi was also planning to discuss the engagement with Uncle Ji.
Ji Mama didn't think much of it, assuming it was about work. But when they arrived home, before Ye Yu could even complain, Gu Jingyi confessed everything himself.
"What?" Ji Mama exclaimed directly.
Ji Mingxue didn't say anything, just frowned as he looked at Gu Jingyi standing in front of him. Upon hearing this, Ji Mama was a bit stunned. Ji Haoqi looked very angry and was already preparing to make a move, but was held back by Ji Haochang.
As for Gu Second Aunt, she watched as if enjoying a show. Although they were family, she offered no words in defense.
It was at this moment that Ye Yu returned. Seeing Ji Haoqi's expression and Gu Jingyi, he knew what was happening. It seemed that before he could return to complain, someone had already delivered themselves. He had thought that Brother Ji would be the first to act, but Ji Haoqi couldn't hold back. Of course, he didn't know that Ji Haochang had already made a move, which was why he was so calm at this moment.
"Mom, what are you guys doing?" Ye Yu, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, had to speak up to get their attention. Ji Haochang, seeing the two boxes in his hands, went over to help carry one.
"Little Yu is back. What is this? Why aren't you staying with Xing'er today?"
"Oh~ Xing'er asked me to help her with some things, so I came back. These are two boxes of apples that Xing'er asked me to bring back. One box is for Grandpa."
After Ye Yu put down the things, he walked to Ji Papa's side and found a seat. Gu Second Aunt heard that he had returned from that place and wanted to ask about Gu Jingnian's condition, but didn't know how to start. Moreover, it was clearly not the time to talk about it.
Ji Mama seemed to have noticed Gu Second Aunt's hesitation and directly asked the question for her. Ye Yu, without thinking much, directly explained Gu Jingnian's condition: "Xing'er just gave Jingnian a medicinal bath and applied ointment. I feel Jingnian's voice has improved a lot, it's not as hoarse! Jingnian also said his body feels much lighter. Oh, when I came back, Jingnian could sit up by himself, and he even asked me to bring him some gauze!"
Ji Mama, without thinking too much, added, "Aren't his wounds not supposed to be bandaged?"
"I said the same thing, but Jingnian said he needed it. I didn't see Xing'er say anything, so I agreed!"
"Then it's an improvement, it must be. He can even sit up by himself!"
Ye Yu looked at the aunt beside him who seemed particularly excited, and even crying. He was a bit confused, so he looked to Ji Mama for an explanation. Ji Mama also saw Ye Yu's gaze and directly introduced him.
"This is Jingnian's mother. You took the person away without telling her, and she came looking for you!" Ji Mama, upon hearing about Gu Jingnian's improvement, felt a sense of relief. Now she had the mood to tease Ye Yu.
Ye Yu suddenly remembered this matter and looked sheepishly at Ji Mama and Gu Second Aunt, who was wiping her tears. He didn't know what to say, so he just sat there, scratching his head and smiling at them.
Ye Yu suddenly remembered the task Ji Xingmi had given him. He took out a letter from his pocket. This was given to him by Ji Xingmi when he left, asking him to bring it back to Ji Mingxue.
"Dad, Xiao Xing'er asked me to give this to you!" Ye Yu quickly took out the item from his pocket and handed it to Ji Papa. Ji Papa was still looking at Gu Jingyi at this moment. Hearing Ye Yu's words, he immediately turned and took the item, no longer paying attention to Gu Jingyi."
