Chapter 8
On the way home, Ji Ruan fell asleep in the car.
This sleep was very deep, almost the most ignorant since coming to this world.
Even after the car stopped, the door was opened and the sun poured down, it just made Ji Ruan curl up subconsciously, but couldn't wake up.
Gu Xiuyi supported the door frame and called out to Ji Ruan several times, but the people in the seat didn't respond, and he didn't know if he couldn't hear him again, or he passed out completely from sleep.
Gu Xiuyi waited for a few seconds, and had no choice but to bend down and lean into the car to check Ji Ruan's situation.
Ji Ruan leaned on the back of the chair with his head tilted, his right ear was suppressed, Gu Xiuyi pinched Ji Ruan's face to expose his ear, and the small external machine was turned off again.
It's really a sleep isolated from the world...
He pushed Ji Ruan's cochlea away, and when he let go, he found that Ji Ruan's cheeks had been pinched red by himself, leaving two clear fingerprints on her white skin.
Because they were too close, Gu Xiuyi could clearly see the fine hairs on Ji Ruan's face, the face was tender and smooth, and the texture of the skin was surprisingly good.
This kind of skin that is full of vitality like a plump fruit is only specific to children of this age, and it is God's gift to "youth".
"..."
Gu Xiuyi's hands were stiff.
Feel grandiose about eighteen year old body again.
He patted Ji Ruan's face, and said in a tense voice, "Ji Ruan, it's time to wake up." A
clear voice suddenly filled his ears, Ji Ruan's eyelashes trembled violently, there were cicadas, wind, and Gu Xiuyi calling him the sound of the name.
At this moment, the world seems to be activated, and everything is colored.
Gu Xiuyi withdrew and left a moment before Ji Ruan opened his eyes.
The midsummer sun was shining brightly, Ji Ruan's eyes were narrowed, and he saw Gu Xiuyi standing upright by the car door, the sun burning a halo around him, hazy.
"Why did you sleep so deeply?" Gu Xiuyi asked him.
Ji Ruan subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes: "No..."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ji Ruan instinctively felt something was wrong, her voice was wrong, and her throat was itchy.
Before his sluggish consciousness was fully recovered, it was as if a bunch of cotton had been ignited in his throat, and the itching burst out of his throat in an instant.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Ji Ruan bent down abruptly, propping up his knees and coughing violently.
If it weren't for Gu Xiuyi's sharp eyesight and quick hands to pull him, he would have fallen out of the car and kneeled on the cobblestone path in the yard.
"Cough...cough cough cough-I rely on...cough!-cough cough-"
Ji Ruan was caught off guard by the series of sudden and severe coughs. He bent over, his face was flushed, his blood pressure rose suddenly, and the cough made the sky hurt. .
Gu Xiuyi had never seen this kind of battle before, he took two seconds to react before he put his hand on Ji Ruan's back and said, "What's going on?"
Ji Ruan was speechless.
Gu Xiuyi took pictures for a while, and found that not only did he not take good pictures of Ji Ruan, but it seemed that the more he took pictures, the worse the coughing of the child.
Gu Xiuyi didn't know what was wrong with his technique, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only use his patience to stay where he was, acting as a physical support for Ji Ruan.
In the end, Ji Ruan managed to slow down on his own.
He ignored Gu Xiuyi, stood up tremblingly and walked towards the door with three steps.
Gu Xiuyi didn't let Song Ling continue to follow, but told him to get off work, and quickly followed Ji Ruan to help him go forward.
Not long after walking, Ji Ruan started to cough again, so coughing that he couldn't get up while squatting on the ground, his physical tears poured out like rain.
Gu Xiuyi had no choice but to squat down with Ji Ruan and lift Ji Ruan's chin to see his expression.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun in the sky did not intend to stop, and the ground was roasted for a whole day, and the temperature was comparable to that of a flaming mountain.
A layer of sweat soon appeared on Ji Ruan's forehead, and his complexion was unusually bad.
Gu Xiuyi had an intuition that if he continued to cough like this, he might vomit.
But the short path in the yard became far away because of Ji Ruan's loss of mobility.
It was too hot.
Gu Xiuyi didn't want to delay any longer, so he directly pulled Ji Ruan's two arms around his shoulders, without any discussion: "Hold you in?"
Ji Ruan coughed until he was dizzy, but he heard this sentence.
In fact, he wanted Gu Xiuyi to help him a long time ago, it doesn't matter whether it's hugging, carrying or resisting, it doesn't matter, as long as he can get him into the house from here, Ji Ruan can accept anything.
But he coughed so badly that he couldn't communicate at all except sobbing, so Gu Xiuyi's words became the timely rain to save him from the fire.
Ji Ruan nodded repeatedly with teary eyes, and eagerly tapped Gu Xiuyi's shoulder three times.
hug me hug me hug me!
It's like whipping the horse's ass with a whip when riding a horse.
Gu Xiuyi: "..."
I can't say why, but I feel a little strange.
·
In the villa, Aunt Zhao was humming a ditty and was about to start making dinner. When she heard someone coming back, she washed her hands and went up to meet her. She saw Gu Xiuyi with a straight body, and--hanging on Gu Xiuyi's body, as if he had been sunburned Ji Ruan of the little koala.
"Yo! What's the matter?!" Aunt Zhao stepped forward quickly, and lightly touched the top of Ji Ruan's furry hair, "What's the matter, Ruan Ruan?"
Ji Ruan liked Aunt Zhao the most.
Hearing the sound, his ears moved, he raised his head from Gu Xiuyi's shoulder, and opened his mouth to speak, but Gu Xiuyi pressed the back of his head and stuffed it back.
"It's okay, Aunt Zhao, call a doctor over." Gu Xiuyi said.
Then he looked at Ji Ruan's round head, fiercely: "Don't talk, you'll cough all over me later."
What does it mean to cough all over him? !
Ji Ruan was stunned, he covered his mouth when he coughed, okay!
Not letting him talk to Aunt Zhao and still disliking him, Ji Ruan hardened his fist and slammed it on Gu Xiuyi's shoulder. In the next second, he was kicked up by that person in retaliation. Stop coughing again.
Gu Xiuyi put Ji Ruan on the bed, and after Aunt Zhao followed, he went outside to wash his hands, and when he came back, the room was another scene.
Ji Ruan was knocked out by his cough, and Aunt Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, holding Ji Ruan and coaxing her: "
Oh, why is our baby so uncomfortable when we go out?"
"Did you catch a cold? Arrived?"
"Oh, our baby..."
Aunt Zhao has always been soft-hearted, and she especially likes children, especially cute ones like Ji Ruan, even though Ji Ruan is eighteen, she can still treat him as a child without burden A three-year-old child coaxes her heart and soul.
Gu Xiuyi knew this all along, but when he heard the three "baby" words that never left his mouth, he was still a little tired and panicked, so he pinched the center of his brows fiercely.
It's okay for Aunt Zhao to be tired, but what's rare is that Ji Ruan is willing to lie in her arms and act like a baby.
Perhaps Aunt Zhao's motherly love atmosphere is too strong. A child like Ji Ruan who lost his mother early will inevitably become more dependent once he feels uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiuyi couldn't criticize Ji Ruan's coquettish behavior.
He looked at the old and the young in the room without saying a word. Aunt Zhao put her hands on Ji Ruan's back, and with a little strength, she went down little by little. After going back and forth a few times, Ji Ruan's cough really healed. some.
Was it this way?
Gu Xiuyi recalled how hard he slapped Ji Ruan on the back, covered his lips in embarrassment and coughed.
Aunt Zhao coaxed Ji Ruan for a while, Ji Ruan's cough was not as bad as it was at the beginning, but she still couldn't stop it intermittently.
She looked at Gu Xiuyi, frowning: "Little Gu, why don't you go and pour a glass of warm water, and bring up the cough syrup."
Gu Xiuyi leaned against the door frame, took off his suit jacket, and rolled the sleeves of his white shirt to his elbows , the collar was crumpled by Ji Ruan, and he unbuttoned two buttons.
His indifferent demeanor was incompatible with the warm picture in the room. It clearly belonged to his villa, but he stood inside like an outsider.
Gu Xiuyi was slightly startled: "Me?"
Aunt Zhao paused, and then realized that she was dizzy, how could she move Gu Xiuyi.
She quickly patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Little Gu, you come and hug Ruan Ruan, and I'll get the syrup."
Hug Ji Ruan?
How can it be.
The child was too restless, as soon as he got into his arms, he scratched, scratched and hammered, Gu Xiuyi's shirt was ruined in all directions.
hold him?
It is impossible for him to hug Ji Ruan again in his life.
Gu Xiuyi turned and went out: "Syrup...is it in the locker on the first floor?"
Aunt Zhao suppressed a smile when she saw this scene, and shouted into the corridor: "Yes! It's in the medicine box on the left side of the second floor of the locker !"
Ji Ruan did catch a cold, the reason is unknown, it may be that the air-conditioning outside made him catch a cold, or it may be that he was fooled by the temperature difference between hot and cold after staying outside all day.
The entire villa became chaotic because of Ji Ruan alone, until the doctor came and put water on Ji Ruan, it gradually subsided.
Gu Xiuyi and Aunt Zhao left Ji Ruan's room together, closed the door lightly, let out a long sigh, and sighed: "Aunt Zhao, don't make fried food for him when you cook in the future, and don't let him drink ice water , the voice is too bad..."
Aunt Zhao suppressed a smile: "Got it, I just didn't expect you to eat fried chicken with Ruan Ruan. I remember you hated it when you were young and said it was unhealthy.
" Hearing this, he immediately frowned in disgust, and then turned into a sigh: "Isn't he still young..." At
such a young age, he could only let it go.
Aunt Zhao didn't speak anymore, she let out a faint laugh, Gu Xiuyi turned his head, "What are you laughing at?" "
No, it's fine," Aunt Zhao waved her hand, "Go take a shower, I'm going to cook, it's fine, it's fine." Okay..."
Gu Xiuyi: "..."
Ji Ruan's throat was more swollen than imagined, and he almost lost his voice the next day. His ears were not working well, and he became a little dumb, deaf and dumb. It took a week of hanging out of the water to barely recover the ability to speak.
Gu Xiuyi was on a business trip again, and Ji Ruan couldn't see him during the entire recovery period.
One day, about half a month later, on a sultry afternoon with no sun, Aunt Zhao was not at home, and Ji Ruan was sitting on the living room floor watching a movie with Xiao An in her arms.
Gu Xiuyi came back at this time.
Still wearing a meticulous full suit, the whole person is tall and strong. When Chao Jiruan walked over, he was familiar with a little strange.
He never seems to be tired. After so long on a business trip, his face is not tired at all, but he seems to be more energetic.
He came back with two bags, washed his hands and brought them to Ji Ruan.
Not seeing each other for half a month, Ji Ruan inexplicably felt a little out of place, and sat there not thinking of what to say.
Gu Xiuyi stretched out two fingers to lift Ji Ruan's chin, and observed calmly for a moment: "You're thinner."
Ji Ruan didn't expect him to touch him as soon as he arrived, and then avoided it after a two-second pause. He lowered his head and touched his chin. The chin seems to be a little thinner...
He has a sore throat and can't eat. It's normal to lose weight.
"Ji Ruan." Gu Xiuyi called his name again.
Ji Ruan looked up.
Gu Xiuyi raised his chin: "Say something and listen."
His tone was as if asking Xiao An to lift his paw.
Ji Ruan was dissatisfied, and snorted softly: "Are you sick?"
Gu Xiuyi laughed, and sat on the floor opposite Ji Ruan. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood today, "Is your throat still good?
" Head: "It's about to recover now."
"Well," Gu Xiuyi responded inexplicably, and then said: "Then follow me back to the Gu family." "
Gu family?" Ji Ruan raised his head suddenly, " Is...your parents' house?"
Gu Xiuyi propped his chin: "That's right."
Ji Ruan took a deep breath, isn't that the old house in the legend!
For a wealthy family like Gu Xiuyi, the old house is like a battlefield, Ji Ruan started to have a headache just thinking about it.
Gu Xiuyi didn't seem to take it seriously, and immediately changed the subject: "Hold out your hand."
Ji Ruan was still thinking about going back to the old house, restless, and perfunctorily handed over his hand, and was immediately grabbed by the wrist.
In the next second, something cool was put on the ring finger, and Ji Ruan came to his senses, it was a plain ring.
Very simple and elegant style, exactly the same as the one on Gu Xiuyi's ring finger.
Ji Ruan was stunned for a moment uncontrollably.
Gu Xiuyi didn't look up at him, but still held his wrist, as if admiring something with satisfaction, and casually told him:
"The ring has arrived."
