Does it have anything to do with her whether he is taken care of or not?
As soon as she left, Gu Tingchuan dialed Zhang Wei's phone and asked, "How is the matter you were asked to investigate?"
"Third brother, Xu Yizhong's recent whereabouts are really mysterious. I only know that he had dinner with the woman's family last night. I'll keep an eye on him for a few more days. I'll let you know if I have any news."
"Um."
As soon as he hung up the phone, it started raining heavily outside.
The rain fell quickly and fiercely, instantly covering the entire city with a thick rain curtain.
She had just left not long ago, and it was raining so heavily right now, so she would definitely get wet.
Gu Tingchuan dialed her number without thinking, but there was no answer for a long time.
He wanted to stand up, but he couldn't do it at all. His injured left leg couldn't even use half of his strength.
I had to use my crutches to stand up. I walked to the door with difficulty, picked up my umbrella, and walked towards the door with difficulty. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see Lu Haiyao standing outside.
The rain pattered on the raincloth, as if beating on his heart.
Hai Yao looked at him in surprise, then saw him holding an umbrella in one hand and a cane in the other, "You want to go out?"
Looking at the surprised expression on her face, Gu Tingchuan felt his heart heat up. The worry he had just felt slowly subsided. He walked out and stood beside her, and the door closed automatically.
"Why...why haven't you left yet?"
He looked at her intensely, and saw her looking at the heavy rain, with a look of helplessness on her face, "I just walked out, and it rained so heavily. This is the only place where there are eaves to shelter from the rain. Do you think I don't want to leave?"
Ah, I'm trapped here by the heavy rain."
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared in Gu Tingchuan's dark eyes.
He was suddenly very grateful for the unexpected heavy rain, which allowed him to spend more time with her.
She would rather the rain kept falling and she could never leave again.
Thinking of this, a big smile appeared on his lips.
Hai Yao had never seen him smile so happily, so she looked at him with incomprehensible eyes, "Are you crazy? You laughed so happily all of a sudden, it made my hair stand on end."
Looking at the umbrella in his hand, Haiyao looked at him pleadingly, "Can you lend me your umbrella?"
"Why should I lend it to you?"
He raised his eyebrows, looking unwilling.
Lend her an umbrella and let her return to Xu Yizhong?
Hai Yao didn't know what he was thinking, so she just thought he was stingy, "You are a man, can you stop being so stingy? It's just an umbrella. I will return it to you tomorrow."
"no!"
He rejected her immediately.
Hai Yao was furious and turned her head to ignore him. She thought it was annoying to have him standing next to her, so she asked again, "What are you doing standing here? Haven't you been exposed to the rain?"
"Didn't bring the key."
"What!"
She looked at him in surprise, then at the closed door, "Isn't your door locked with a combination?"
He had a bit of a smile on his face, making people wonder if he was lying, "It's a password, but I also forgot it. What should I do? You have to be responsible. I have nowhere to go today."
"Why do you ask me to take responsibility? It's because you don't have any brains."
She glared at him and stopped looking at him, looking at the heavy rain with a melancholy look on her face.
The two of them just stood under the eaves, holding an umbrella, standing side by side.
Gu Tingchuan's legs could not stand for a long time, and he was holding on to the crutches with his hands while chatting with her every sentence.
"Your brother Lu Xiaobei's IQ is so high. You are siblings, so why are you so different?"
She listened and said proudly, "Xiao Bei has been smart since he was a child. He..."
Haiyao suddenly realized that he was scolding himself for being stupid.
She glared at him and said angrily, "You are stupid!!"
Looking at the angry expression on her face, a smile spread across his lips. The suffocation he had accumulated during this period seemed to dissipate in an instant. He smiled and said, "Do you know why I like to be with you?"
Haiyao looked at him and met the gentle gaze in his deep eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was going to say something sensational. Unexpectedly, he smiled lightly and said, "Because when I'm with you, I don't have to use my brain."
