“I saw the wedding candies that Sier and the other others had sent over today.”
Gu Shishi lowered her head and laid her hand over her chest where it would still hurt everytime she thought about those wedding candies.
“They are very pretty and everybody liked them.
“They reminded me of you… when I saw them today…
“Which I why I took off early today.”
Gu Shishi blinked.
Not hearing the chime from the system, she added another line softly.
“What about you? Did you miss me?”
When Gu Shishi was done talking and before Huo Sishen could respond, there came a “oh, mi” and a loud wolf whistle.
“Oh, looks like I came at the wrong time?” said Qin Ruhai as he walked out from behind of Huo Sishen.
[Beep! Showing you affection in front of others (1/10)!]
Huo Sishen’s ice cube face turned red uncomfortably all of a sudden.
It took only one second for him to regain his self-control and returned to his solemn look.
After dinner, Huo Sishen and Qin Ruhai headed to the study just the two of them.
Huo Sishen, sitting behind the desk, was very different from his gentle self that was sitting in front of the girl just a moment ago. With a solemn look, he drummed on this desk with his knuckles.
“We can’t tell without going to for a checkup at the hospital?”
Qin Ruhai, too, looked very serious.
He nodded, then shook his head. “The equipment at the hospital is more precise. But if you worry about alarming her, you can also get an idea from interacting with her.”
Huo Sishen looked at him coldly.
Qin Ruhai shrugged. “Judging from what you have said and what I had seen earlier, she had changed a lot.”
Huo Sishen frowned.
Qin Ruhai picked up the mug on the table, flicked it with his finger and said, “It may not be all bad. Bottling up all of her emotions is the worst. At least she is showing emotions. It is reassuring.
“We shouldn’t take it too lightly though. It’s best to prevent and stop psychological illness at the early stages.
“For now, she leans on you’re a lot. You should spend more time with her. Be patience and don’t just give her that stern look. React to what she is saying or doing.”
“React?”
Qin Ruhai nodded solemnly. “Yes, that will help her with her self-worth. For example, when she says she missed you, you should respond with ‘I missed you too”. If it isn’t reciprocated, it would hurt her confidence.”
Having said that, he almost immediately looked up at the man who was pondering deeply.
He then quickly pulled out his cellphone and quickly typed into their melon-eating chat group with his lips curved upward.
[Number Two: Tsk. @Number One @Number Three. When a overly rational man falls in love, he was no different than a fool.]
[Number One: This makes for a good research topic. According to big data analysis, that might have something to do with the structure of their brains.]
[Number Three: @Number Two. Love is blind and could truly make someone lose their minds. The calmer a person is, the more difficult it was for him to accept the idea of him losing control of himself. Are you talking about yourself? Did some girl finally conquered you?]
[Number Two: Hahaha. I can neither confirm nor deny it. By the way, @Gu Shishi, the melon today is very tasty~]
[Number One: ?? Share please!]
[Number Three: Ask and you shall receive. @Number Two, please recount it for us.]
[Gu Shishi: ? ? ?]
Midnight at a hospital in the US.
“Mommy, it will be fine. It will be alright even if I don’t make it.”
Tears were streaming down Gu Wushuang’s cheeks.
“I will have no regrets as long as Sister Shishi is happy. I owe her that much.”
“Shuangshuang… …”
Mother Gu choked back her tears and couldn’t make out a word. She had already lost her voice from crying too much the last few days.
“We will have another fortune teller to look for a date. Don’t be scared. You will out, outlive mommy… You don’t owe her anything. What had happened wasn’t your fault.”
“Mommy, there is no need for that.”
Gu Wushuang gave a gloomy smile poignantly.
“Things are fine the way they are.
“I am not scared.”
“Wushaung… … my baby… ..”
Mother Gu’s eyes were all red.
