Gu Jingting was playing with a lighter he had taken out from nowhere. The silver shell flipped between his fingers, reflecting the light and piercing Shen Zhinan's eyes.
He followed suit and walked a few steps leisurely before humming and saying, "Do you have any objections?"
Shen Zhinan's hand in his pocket curled up slightly. Based on his status, he was not qualified to say more, "Of course not, I'm just curious."
"Then ask less questions." Gu Jingting said, "Be careful, curiosity killed the cat."
Shen Zhinan was stopped by him and was completely speechless.
The two of them finished the examination in silence. When they went out, they saw Song Qiao waiting outside. She walked over quickly and asked expectantly, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
Even knowing that she was so ardent because of Qiqi, Gu Jingting was still in a happy mood. He hooked his hand at Song Qiao and said, "Come here."
Song Qiao paused, feeling a little weird.
This attitude makes her look like a cat or a dog.
She frowned and walked towards Gu Jingting. Before she could stand still, he suddenly turned over and put most of his weight on Song Qiao.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Song Qiao barely stood up.
Gu Jingting's lazy voice came from above his head, "I'm a little tired from the examination. I want you to lean on me, okay?"
"Of course..." Song Qiao reflexively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about who he was doing this for, he gritted his teeth and held back, "Okay."
The muffled laughter sounded softly, causing the chest to tremble slightly, as if it spread all the way to the bottom of Song Qiao's heart.
She was inexplicably embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly red, but she was somewhat unwilling to carry Gu Jingting away like this. She gritted her teeth and threatened in a low voice, "If you laugh again, I'll kick you."
Gu Jingting stopped smiling when he saw it, and he really suppressed his smile, but the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and there was a faint light in his eyes.
Song Qiao gritted his teeth and held back his anger as he led him to the ward. Shen Zhinan followed behind and opened his mouth to say a few words about his condition. Before the words came out, the two of them were already supporting each other and passing by him.
His eyes darkened, and he made no further sound.
Back in the ward, Gu Jingting was sitting on the sofa, while Mrs. An and Xiaotang came around at the same time.
"Da Jing, are you feeling okay now?" Aunt An asked with concern, "I'll make you some soup to replenish your body tonight. How about you drink Angelica Pork Ribs Soup?"
Gu Jingting's expression changed quickly, and from Song Qiao's point of view, it was even a little distorted.
She pursed her lips and smiled. She felt aggrieved by being bullied by Gu Jingting and took revenge at this moment. She smiled deliberately and said, "I think it's okay. Give him two more bowls."
Xiaotang lay next to Gu Jingting, looked up for a moment, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his finger, "Uncle Gu, thank you."
He held Gu Jingting's hand, and his soft fingers, like a feather, fell on Gu Jingting's heart inexplicably.
"Why don't you continue to be as hostile to me as before?" Gu Jingting raised his eyebrows, and his tone was not as cold as before, "Is it duplicity?"
Xiaotang shook his head and said seriously, "No, you saved my sister. When I grow up, I will repay you."
"When you grow up, I will be old." Gu Jingting said calmly.
"I can provide you with your retirement." Xiaotang answered quickly.
"..."
Gu Jingting was silent for a long time, and finally he laughed angrily, "I should thank you, and now you are thinking about my death in the future? You are really good at talking."
Xiaotang didn't mean this, and his face turned red anxiously, "Anyway, I will tell you anyway."
His tone was firm.
Gu Jingting stopped teasing him, reached out and flicked his forehead, and said softly, "I know, what you have to do now is to study hard and grow up quickly."
"Yeah." Xiaotang nodded.
"Uncle Gu, I will also support you in the future." Qiqi was lying on the hospital bed, unwilling to join in the fun alone, "I will buy you nice clothes."
Gu Jingting raised his eyes and watched her get up, with bright eyes on her pale smile, "How about you become our father."
Anyway, I heard from my brother that the CEO of the Gu family is a bad guy, so he can't marry mommy. She has to find a way to find a reliable man for her mommy.
Song Qiao was caught off guard and was so frightened that he choked and coughed repeatedly.
She looked at Qiqi with wide eyes and scolded her quickly, "Song Qiqi, what are you talking about?"
Qiqi looked at Song Qiao with an innocent face and retorted, "I'm not wrong. If mommy wants to find a husband, she has to find a responsible man, right?"
Gu Jingting looked at Song Qiao with a half-smile, but he said to Qiqi, "It seems you think I'm very reliable?"
"So far, it looks like this." Qiqi is a brat, pretending to be serious with a straight face, "But now I just promise to let you contact me for a try. If you don't perform well in the future, you still have to separate."
Song Qiao's face turned red, and she was a little angry, "Shut up, stop talking."
The smile in Gu Jingting's eyes became deeper and deeper. He turned around and said to Qiqi half-truthfully, "Aren't you afraid that in the end I will cheat and kidnap your mommy away?"
Qiqi was anxious and said loudly, "How dare you!"
"This is what you promised." Gu Jingting said.
"Then I regret it now, you two can't do it!" Qiqi said angrily.
Xiaotang looked at her with a face that couldn't bear to look at her. It was such an obvious joke, but this stupid sister couldn't see it. She was still anxious and embarrassed.
Song Qiao helplessly held her forehead, looked at Gu Jingting and said, "Okay, don't tease her."
The confrontation between one large and one small was stopped by Song Qiao.
Qiqi's body still needed more rest, so she was soon coaxed to sleep by Mrs. An. Song Qiao thought that Tang was a little tired after being at the hospital recently, so she planned to take him home.
"Mommy, I want to go back with my sister." Xiaotang shook his head and refused.
Over the years, whenever Qiqi was sick and hospitalized, he would always be by his side. Sometimes Qiqi would get angry and refuse to take medicine, but Xiaotang would coax her to take it.
Once, when he was sleeping next to Song Qiao, he said something, "Mommy, if my sister is no longer here, I will live on for her."
After Song Qiao listened, he cried so much that he couldn't sleep that night.
"Okay, then when Qiqi recovers completely, we will be discharged from the hospital and go home together." Song Qiao agreed.
It was late, and Song Qiao had to go to the set for filming tomorrow. She and Gu Jingting went out and got into the car. Suddenly, a question came from beside them, "You seem to have never told me about their father."
Some fragmentary memories flooded into his mind. Song Qiao lowered his eyes and paused in his movements, "What do you want to know?"
"Who is their father? Why isn't he with you?" A certain suspicion in Gu Jingting's mind became stronger. "Could it be that it has something to do with me?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and there was a faint noise from the traffic whizzing by outside the window.
