Xu Huan said, “I’ll just take a glance at Su Ting from the doorway of the ward without disturbing him.”
Still worried about letting Xu Huan go back and forth, Gu Dai sought help with a pleading look towards Meng Zhi.
Catching Gu Dai’s gaze, Meng Zhi quickly stepped forward, “I’ve visited Su Ting already. He’s recovering well and should be discharged in a few days. Besides, Yinyin will be getting off of school soon. Didn’t you promise to play with her yesterday?”
Xu Huan remembered this and started to hesitate.
Gu Dai quickly said, “Grandma, you stay home and play with Yin Yin.”
With a sigh, Xu Huan finally nodded in agreement, “Alright.”
She remembered it was Su Ci who had brought Gu Dai out and thus said, “After Su Ting is discharged, invite Su Ci over for dinner. After all, they saved you, and we should at least thank them.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Okay, grandma, I’ll invite him.”
Xu Huan added, “Right, you’ve been out for so long, and Su Ting shouldn’t be left unattended. Go back and take care of Su Ting.”
After saying this, her gaze fell on Meng Zhi, “Since I can’t visit Su Ting, let Meng Zhi go in my place.”
Meng Zhi followed Gu Dai out, and once in the car, he hurriedly said, “Daidai, it wasn’t me who told grandma about the ship. She asked me, and under her gaze, I couldn’t hold back and spilled the beans.”
Gu Dai nodded, “I know.”
Meng Zhi was surprised, “Hm?”
Gu Dai said, “These past few days, I’ve been so focused on Su Ting that I even forgot to come up with an excuse. It’s normal for grandma to sense something was off since Su Ting and I hadn’t returned home.”
Realizing this afterward, Meng Zhi slapped his forehead in frustration, “I forgot about that too. No wonder grandma looked at me strangely these past days; she was going through me, trying to track your whereabouts.”
After he realized this, he felt more and more regretful, “If I had noticed earlier, I wouldn’t have been discovered.”
Gu Dai, with a smile, said, “It’s okay. We didn’t tell grandma initially because we didn’t want to upset her, but fortunately, she took the news well.”
Meng Zhi, relieved, agreed, “Indeed.”
He looked at the path outside, feeling something was amiss. After a few seconds of thought, he said, “Daidai, this doesn’t seem to be the way to the hospital.”
Gu Dai nodded, “Su Ting has been wanting to try the soup from Tianzhi Pavilion lately, but I had restricted him due to his health. Now that his health indicators are back to normal, he can have it.”
Meng Zhi, seeing the smile on Gu Dai’s lips, shook his head in resignation, “The sweet stench of love.”
Gu Dai glanced at Meng Zhi, “Isn’t it the same with you and Nuannuan?”
Hearing this, Meng Zhi’s face reddened, and he turned his head away with a light cough, muttering, “Okay, we do the same.”
Gu Dai clicked her tongue twice.
At the hospital.
Su Ting eagerly looked towards the door, his eyes lighting up upon seeing Gu Dai enter, excitedly saying, “Daidai, you’re back.”
Gu Dai placed the meal box on the table, then approached Su Ting to ask softly, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Su Ting shook his head, “No.”
He then proudly said, “I’ve been resting well!”
Seeing Su Ting’s rosy complexion, indeed as he described, Gu Dai praised, “That’s wonderful.”
Su Ting laughed lightly, sniffing the air and asking, “Daidai, what did you bring back? It smells so good, just like the soup I’ve been wanting to drink lately.”
Gu Dai said, “It’s the soup you wanted.”
Su Ting, startled, blinked and then asked in disbelief, “Did you buy it specially for me?”
Gu Dai confirmed, “Yes.”
Su Ting, thrilled by Gu Dai’s confirmation, was overjoyed.
Gu Dai ruffled Su Ting’s hair, “Snap out of it.”
Su Ting pinched himself, foolishly saying, “It’s real, not a dream!”
Su Ci, witnessing this scene, found it particularly irksome, yet the clear understanding of their familial relationship reminded him he had no right to be jealous.
He stood up, “It’s getting late; I should head back too.”
Gu Dai suggested, “The soup from this restaurant is really tasty; have a bowl before you go.”
Su Ci shook his head, “I just got some urgent work to attend to; I need to head back to handle it.”
Gu Dai, hearing this, did not insist further, “Then, be careful on your way out.”
Su Ci acknowledged, “Will do.”
Meng Zhi, watching Su Ci’s departing figure, hesitated for a few seconds before following him..
