1103 Knew That It Hadn't Been Long Since Gu Qingcheng Went In

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng's countenance wasn't good, the assistant didn't dare to stay for long. He said that he had other work to attend to and took his leave.

Gu Qingcheng picked up his phone, wanting to call Yun Liuli. He had pressed the number and was about to dial it when he paused.

This should be what he had wanted to see all this time, so what was he feeling angry about?

A while later, Gu Qingcheng put down his phone quietly.

…

Yun Liuli took Zhou Yuchen to the hospital. After a checkup, he was found to have two rib fractures, and he also had a lot of new and old wounds on his body.

It was inevitable for him to be hospitalized. When Guan Nina heard this piece of news, she also rushed over to the hospital.

She only felt at ease after seeing that Zhou Yuchen was fine, though she felt a little guilty. She looked at Yun Liuli, as well as Zhou Yuchen, who was in a hospital gown, and said, "I'm sorry. The trouble was caused because of my friend…"

"It's alright. You aren't to be blamed for this!" Yun Liuli leaned against the window, took out her phone to check the time, and then asked Zhou Yuchen, "Are you hungry?"

Zhou Yuchen nodded.

"I'll go and get food! I feel guilty about this matter, and I must do something for you guys before I can feel at ease!" Guan Nina quickly picked up her bag and said, "I'll be the deliveryman and go out and get food. What do you guys want to eat?"

"I want to eat fried rice with pickled Chinese cabbage and shredded meat!" Yun Liuli didn't stand on ceremony and said what she wanted to eat.

"What about you, Zhou Yuchen?" Guan Nina looked toward Zhou Yuchen, feeling a little nervous.

Zhou Yuchen said, "I'll… get the same as Yun Liuli!"

Guan Nina's heart thumped very quickly. Zhou Yuchen had spoken to her!

Guan Nina felt extremely happy, feeling that she had finally taken one step forward on the long route of chasing Zhou Yuchen. She nodded and quickly ran out.

There was only Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen left in the ward. Seated in bed, Zhou Yuchen's hand, which was under the blankets, grabbed tightly onto the bed sheets. He looked toward Yun Liuli and spoke out in a soft voice. "Do you think that I'm very useless and am always bullied?"

Yun Liuli's eyes moved away from her phone screen, appearing clear yet perplexed. She then shook her head. "I already said that when I look at you, I think of my past self. To be honest… I quite like my past self!"

Zhou Yuchen's heartbeat quickened, and he became unsettled, feeling as if he was having heart palpitations.

Looking at him made Yun Liuli think of her past self, and she quite liked her past self…

Did that mean that Yun Liuli quite liked him?

Zhou Yuchen's ears turned red.

"I also…" Zhou Yuchen's throat rolled. "I also like the current you!"

When Yun Liuli said this, she wasn't arrogant and prideful. She was just calmly saying this, but it made Zhou Yuchen set a goal in his heart.

Right now, as a student, what he could do was stop slacking in his studies, bringing up his grades.

Yun Liuli was a top-scoring student. Then he must become a top-scoring student who could be a match for her!

Zhou Yuchen's eyes turned red, and he looked at Yun Liuli as if he was looking at his whole world.

Twenty minutes later, Guan Nina came back, bringing along fried rice with pickled Chinese cabbage and tomato and egg soup. She also brought back roasted meat and roasted chicken cartilage. Before she could take it out for Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen, Yun Liuli received a message from Gu Qingcheng asking if she was coming back for dinner.

Yun Liuli's lips curled up, and she replied to the message. She then looked up at Guan Nina and Zhou Yuchen, saying, "You guys go ahead. I have something I need to do and will make a move first!"

Zhou Yuchen looked at Yun Liuli and asked, "What's so important that you're not even eating?"

"My family is asking me to come back for dinner!" Yun Liuli carried her bag, unable to conceal the joy in her eyes. "The two of you can enjoy the food!"

Guan Nina misunderstood, thinking that Yun Liuli was intentionally creating a chance for her to be alone with Zhou Yuchen. Her ears couldn't help but turn red. She sent Yun Liuli to the door, then winked at her. "As expected of my good sister!"

Yun Liuli's brows raised. She realized that Guan Nina had misunderstood her, but she couldn't be bothered to explain herself. Regardless, the final result would still be that Zhou Yuchen and Guan Nina would be alone in the ward, and it wouldn't be bad if their relationship could develop.

Zhou Yuchen stood by the window, watching as Yun Liuli left the hospital while holding onto her backpack, walking happily out of his sight.

Family…

Zhou Yuchen had always been envious of people who had a family. He hoped that one day… Yun Liuli's family could also become his. He hoped that after he picked up a call one day, he'd be able to tell others happily together with Yun Liuli that their family had called them back for dinner.

After Yun Liuli left the hospital, she took a cab back to the Cloud Top Condominium. The moment the elevator door opened, Yun Liuli looked toward the brightly lit dining room. The dishes on the table were covered up, but she didn't see Gu Qingcheng. She casually placed her backpack on the shoe cabinet, then said, "I'm back…"

There was no reply. Yun Liuli felt a little gloomy. She had replied to Gu Qingcheng's message, saying that she'd be back for dinner. Could it be that he had something to attend to and had left?

Yun Liuli changed into her slippers and went to Gu Qingcheng's room. She saw that Gu Qingcheng's shirt that he had just taken off was placed on the big bed with gray sheets.

Hearing the swooshing water sounds from the bathroom, Yun Liuli walked up to the bed and touched the clothes. There was still some warmth to them. She knew that it hadn't been long since Gu Qingcheng came back.

She stood outside the bathroom, saying, "I'm back…"

The water sound in the bathroom stopped. Gu Qingcheng's mature voice rang out from the other side of the door. "Go change your clothes and have your dinner first. No need to wait for me!"

"I'll wait for you to have dinner together. I'll go and wash my face and change my clothes first!"

After saying that, Yun Liuli left Gu Qingcheng's room.

Gu Qingcheng stood under the showerhead, switching on the hot water once again and closing his eyes… On the way back, Gu Qingcheng had thought through things carefully. He planned on taking this chance to have a good talk with Yun Liuli.

After estimating the time, Yun Liuli removed the bowls that were used to cover the plates and scooped up some rice. When Gu Qingcheng came out, he saw that the young lady was setting the table.

Gu Qingcheng dried his hair with the towel and walked into the dining room. Yun Liuli said without even raising her head, "Let's eat!"

"There's something I want to talk to you about…" Gu Qingcheng pulled out a chair, placed the towel he used to dry his hair onto the backrest, and said to Yun Liuli, "You take a seat first."

After Yun Liuli sat down, she looked up at Gu Qingcheng, holding onto her chopsticks. She thought about it for a moment before asking, "Is it about how I asked for your assistant's help today?"

Gu Qingcheng's deep and black eyes looked at Yun Liuli before he spoke out calmly. "Putting aside that this guy called Zhou Yuchen is an illegitimate child, he has also been a target of bullying since he was young…"
