Chapter 111 Decision
Gu Yu said lightly, "Just pour a little in. The pill will dissolve easily, and your young master will wake up in a while."
She was about to leave after doing this, but she had just lied. The pulse reading showed that his heart disease had relapsed due to overwork.
The medicine he was given was also for treating heart disease, but it only had a temporary control effect. It would take several years to cure it.
No matter how good she looks at a man's face, she will never act like a saint to a man she meets for the first time.
"Cough cough..."
Gu Rujun wakes up
"What's wrong with me?" the man asked the servant.
The servant boy's eyes were still red, and he was crying. "Sir, you just fainted. It was this doctor who saved you."
"Doctor." Gu Rujun turned her head to look at Gu Yu and thought to herself, "What a young doctor."
Then he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Gu thanks the doctor for saving his life." He has always known how serious his disease is and that he could die if he is not careful. It is no exaggeration to say that the doctor saved his life.
Gu Yu smiled, "So you knew it!"
"Here, this medicine is for you. If you feel uncomfortable here, just take one." Gu Yu pointed to his heart.
Before Gu Rujun could refuse, a small porcelain bottle was stuffed into her hand.
"If you're this sick and still want to take the imperial examination, I'm afraid you'll have the chance to pass but not the chance to become an official..."
The sound became smaller and smaller, and the person had already walked away.
"Sir, he..."
"Let's go! Help me get back to the inn."
Gu Rujun interrupted the servant.
There was no trace of anger on his face, only a calm and pale expression.
The servant obediently helped the man up and said, "Master, you are very lucky! Don't listen to his nonsense."
Gu Rujun smiled bitterly, "She's not wrong, let's go!"
The man glanced at the porcelain bottle in his hand and thought to himself, if it weren't for him and this medicine today, I would have really died here.
……
night
Gu Yu lay in bed, tossing and turning like a fried fish, unable to fall asleep. After turning over and over fifty-eight times, he stretched out his right arm and placed it on his forehead, saying distressedly, "The bed here is too soft and doesn't smell like medicine. I can't sleep, I can't sleep at all!"
Gu Yu stood up with a somersault and said, "Let's go out and find something to eat."
I opened the window and looked down, "The second floor isn't that high either."
Gu Yu flew down and was glad that he was staying in the inn and could come and go freely. If he went back to the Gu family, he might not be able to get out.
"That's right! I'm not a thief, why should I be afraid of others finding out?" Gu Yu laughed at his own disappointment.
The streets at midnight were quiet, deserted, with only a few lanterns swaying and the chirping of insects.
Gu Yu actually felt more at ease in this kind of environment. She walked alone on the bluestone slabs, swaying as she did. The image of the scholar during the day surfaced in her mind. She thought to herself, "He can still look so good even when he's so sick. I wonder what he'll look like when he recovers."
"What do you care what I look like? Little Fish, little fish, you have to be a free fish, all men should stay away!"
At this moment, a fragrance drifted into Xiaoyuer's nostrils, and his stomach growled.
Gu Yu followed the aroma and looked over. "Wonton stall."
"Just right, eat and go back to sleep."
"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons." Gu Yu walked to the stall in two or three steps.
The stall owner was about to close the stall, but in the middle of the night, people came one after another, and they were all good-looking. "Okay! Please sit down and wait for a while, I'll be here soon."
Gu Yu looked in the direction the stall owner pointed and saw a square table with a person sitting on it. He was thin and had a straight back. He didn't look like he was eating but rather writing.
Gu Yu walked over and sat down opposite him. "Oh! Isn't this a coincidence?"
"You're not sleeping late at night and come here to eat. Do you think you're too old?"
The man swallowed the wonton in his mouth and said lightly, "I'm hungry."
The stall owner placed the wontons in front of Gu Yu and said with a big smile, "Young Master, this Mr. Gu is an old customer of mine. He has to come here to eat a bowl every day at this time, otherwise he can't sleep."
"If I hadn't known he was coming tonight, I would have closed the stall long ago."
Gu Yu looked at the man who was stuffing wontons into his mouth with great interest, and thought to himself, "How unfair! Not only is he good-looking, but he's also so attractive while eating that people can't take their eyes off him."
"So, if it weren't for this young master, I wouldn't be able to eat tonight." Gu Yu looked at the wontons in his bowl, and then at the one in the man's bowl.
The stall owner chuckled and scratched his head, "Logically speaking, yes."
Gu Yu scooped up a wonton and put it in his mouth, chewing it! "The taste is just average, just ordinary, not very delicious." How could he eat it so deliciously?
Under the man's shocked gaze, Gu Yu scooped a wonton from his bowl and put it into his mouth. It tasted even worse than the one in his own bowl.
"How come yours tastes even less than mine?"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner couldn't sit still anymore and hurried out to explain, "Sir, Mr. Gu is ill and needs less oil and salt in his meals. It's not that my wontons taste this way!"
"I forgot about this." Gu Yu said a little embarrassedly.
The man chuckled bitterly, "I'm used to it."
Is this person without temper? It's strange that he never gets angry no matter what you say to him.
By the time Gu Yu was puzzled, the man had already finished eating the wontons. "Little doctor, enjoy your meal. I've paid for the wontons. Although I can't repay you for saving my life, any return is appreciated."
The man spoke frankly, and Gu Yu's mouth turned faster than his brain, "Wait, I'll finish eating, let's go for a walk together."
When the words came out, not only was Gu Rujun stunned, but Gu Yu himself was also dumbfounded, "Are you two so familiar with each other that you're walking together?"
But since the words had been spoken, Gu Yu ate the wontons in the bowl quickly.
Seeing this, Gu Rujun sat back down and said, "Young Doctor, eat slowly. I can't sleep when I go back, so I'll wait for you."
……
The autumn wind brought a hint of coolness, but the two of them didn't feel cold because they had just eaten wontons.
The two walked on the left and the right, and no one spoke. Gu Yu, it was okay for her to save people and choke people with words, but it was really the first time for a young lady to take a sedan chair and chat with a man seriously.
Men are not talkative people. They just finished their meal and took a walk. The aroma of medicine coming from the side made him feel inexplicably at ease.
"Little Doctor"
"boy"
They both spoke at the same time.
Gu Rujun smiled, "Young doctor, please speak first."
"You...this disease..."
"I was born with it."
"Do you know you won't live past twenty?"
Gu Rujun's eyes remained calm as she nodded, "I know."
Gu Yu didn't understand. "Twenty years of time, why not do something else? Use it to study and take exams... She couldn't understand it. She really couldn't understand it."
“Is being an official really that good?”
The man twitched his lips and said, "Being an official may not be that great, but I can protect my sister, my mother, and the people."
"Your father is gone?" Gu Yu said shockingly.
She didn't understand these family members. Her sister and mother still needed protection. She had no family, but she had a master. The old man passed away at an old age, which was considered a happy ending. As for her mother, she didn't need to worry about her now. As for her sister, she didn't have a sister, but it was okay for her father to take care of her.
