Shu Pan was being capricious for the first time. Usually, she would just laugh off such things.
But Xia Xiaoqiao made her feel uneasy, visibly; the first time she saw this girl, she felt that her ambitions were written all over her face, which made her quite uncomfortable.
She didnât care what Gu Shaoting thought, he probably thought she was making a fuss over nothing, but she didnât mind. She didnât want to suppress her feelings anymore.
Gu Shaoting noticed her mood had improved a lot and chuckled lightly. âWhat a silly girl. Canât she feel how I treat her?â
He reached out his hand, pulled her closer, and then traced circles on the palm of her hand with his fingertips.
Shu Pan shyly glared at him, âWhat are you doing? Doctors and nurses are constantly coming in and out. Itâs so embarrassing.â
Gu Shaotingâs lips curled up, âLet them be envious.â
âBe serious.â Sometimes he just didnât consider the situation at all.
Gu Shaoting replied innocently, âHow am I not being serious?â
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
âCome in.â Following Shu Panâs response, the door was pushed open.
Gu Huanhuan came in holding a thermos, wearing a face mask, which she removed upon seeing them.
âBrother, you really are something. I come back and you give me such a big surprise? What did the doctor say? Is it serious?â Gu Huanhuan exclaimed in surprise.
âWhy did you come?â Gu Shaoting asked, frowning.
âI just got back from the set this morning. I forgot my keys, and I was supposed to get them from Uncle Wen at the hospital. I just happened to meet Auntie Li outside, and she told me. So I brought breakfast over for you,â Gu Huanhuan was genuinely startled by the news.
It turns out he was injured and hospitalized.
âWhat exactly happened?â Gu Huanhuan was puzzled.
âNothing much. Just got stabbed by a thug,â Gu Shaoting spoke lightly. He didnât want to go over the process again.
âWhat? Brother, you didnât make enemies, did you?â Gu Huanhuan worried he was retaliated against.
âYour brother was playing the hero to save the beauty, so he got stabbed. The doctor said luckily it wasnât fatal. Just needs some rest,â Shu Pan added quietly from the side.
âBrother, still, measure your abilities, okay?â Gu Huanhuan disagreed.
âAlright, I know. You should take more care of the family and not be filming every day,â Gu Shaoting quickly changed the subject.
Shu Pan didnât join the siblingsâ conversation. She took the thermos and poured the congee into a bowl.@@novelbin@@
Auntie Liâs cooking skills had improved; the congee was thick and emitted a delicious fragrance that whetted oneâs appetite.
Shu Pan held the bowl and gently blew on it. Gu Shaoting hadnât eaten a thing last night and was probably starving by now.
While Gu Shaoting and Gu Huanhuan were still chatting, Shu Pan spooned a bit of the cooled-down congee and fed it to Gu Shaoting.
Hey, what a treat, Gu Shaoting secretly felt pleased.
But he had one hand on the IV drip, and it really was inconvenient for him to eat.
Seeing him eat breakfast, Gu Huanhuan stopped talking and decided to go get the keys from Uncle Wen first.
After saying goodbye, Gu Huanhuan left.
Not long after her departure, Xia Xiaoqiao entered with a white thermos.
Her hair was somewhat disheveled, and her steps were hurried; she must have come in a rush.
As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Shu Pan feeding Gu Shaoting congee and paused at the door, somewhat at a loss.
