Seeing that she was much better, Gu Chen turned around and sat by the bed to check on Huo Jinyan’s wound.
“It’s nothing serious. There’s just some blood, I’ll bandage it again.”
Chu Ting immediately said, “I’ll go get the gauze!”
He ran out like a wisp of smoke.
Lu Ning stood at the side. As she watched, she gyrated her waist like an old man doing morning exercises in a park.
Gu Chen looked at her. “Have breakfast before you leave. Sixth Brother is here, he has been busy in the kitchen all morning and prepared a lot of food for you.”
Hearing this, Lu Ning’s stomach growled. “Sixth Brother is here?!” After hopping around a few times, she scurried out.
Gu Zi followed her out, leaving only Gu Chen and Huo Jinyan behind.
Huo Jinyan looked at him. “Thank you.”
Gu Chen looked over; there was no emotion in his eyes. “You don’t have to thank me. I’ve always acceded to her requests.”
In other words: If not for Lu Ning, I couldn’t care less whether you lived or died.
Huo Jinyan had an inkling, so he was not surprised by his words.
Chu Ting hurried back and watched as Gu Chen bandaged Huo Jinyan’s wound.
“Who’s Sixth Brother?”
Huo Jinyan suddenly asked.
“The chef.”
Gu Chen replied coldly.
Chu Ting seemed to be trying to divert Huo Jinyan’s attention; after all, he semed to be in pain. So, he said, “Miss Lu seems to like Mr. Sixth a lot, she was so happy just now. This is the first time I’ve seen Miss Lu so overjoyed.”
Before Huo Jinyan could say anything, Gu Chen could not help but laugh. “Mr. Sixth?”
Chu Ting nodded. “Yes, I see that Mr. Gu calls him Sixth Brother.”
Gu Chen chuckled. “He has the same surname as us.”
Chu Ting exclaimed, “Your Gu family is certainly prosperous.”
Gu Chen seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but he did not say anything and continued to bandage Huo Jinyan.
“You didn’t eat much, right? Go and grab some food. You’ll understand why Ning’ning’s so happy after eating.”
Chu Ting looked at Gu Chen, then turned to look at Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan nodded slightly, and Chu Ting instantly ran out.
A minute later, an exclamation resounded from the dining room, “This is too delicious!!!”
Gu Chen’s lips curled into a smile. He packed his things and turned to leave, leaving Huo Jinyan alone in bed staring at the ceiling.
A faint rumbling came from his stomach.
Huo Jinyan moved and turned to look at the spot where Lu Ning had just laid.
Lu Ning pushed the door open and entered with some items in hand; as she looked up, she met Huo Jinyan’s gaze. She walked over and sat on the chair. After thinking for a moment, she got up and placed her things on the chair.
She folded her blanket into a pillow and placed it beside Huo Jinyan’s pillow. Finally, she knelt with one knee on the bed and supported Huo Jinyan’s neck.
“Hey, sit up so you can eat.”
Only then did Huo Jinyan react to her series of actions. As she slowly sat up, Lu Ning quickly placed the blanket at Huo Jinyan’s back.
“Done.”
She clapped her hands, picked up her things, and sat down.
Just as Huo Jinyan was about to raise his hand, Lu Ning said, “Don’t move. I’ll feed you.”
Huo Jinyan was startled for a moment. He watched as Lu Ning carefully directed her gaze towards the breakfast on the plate, as if she was contemplating which of these would be better for him to eat first.
In the end, she chose a bean paste bun and handed it over.
“Sixth Brother’s bean buns are especially exquisite! One bite will make you feel that your whole life is worthwhile!”
Hearing her exaggerated description, Huo Jinyan could not help but grin and take a bite.
Lu Ning looked at him expectantly..
