"I have a matter to attend to at ho, I can’t stay here. Get your things together in an hour. We are going back to treat your mother!" Gu Shaocheng added with a commanding tone, "Not a minute late!"
Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, he dropped another bombshell.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The nursing ho where your grandmother resides is in an area set for demolition to make way for a comrcial district. So, it will be demolished soon. When that happens, I wonder where your grandmother will go... Ha, since you refuse to be mine, I don’t feel the need to interfere in this matter! I’m pretty busy as it is!"
He sees the last bits of hesitation lting away from her eyes, brushes the dust off his knees and leaves in big strides with an air of aloofness.
...
An hour and a half later.
At the helipad, Yan Fengchi and Commander Xu shake hands warmly. "Leaving so soon?"
Yan Fengchi pats Commander Xu’s shoulder: "I’ll call you when I’m free. I don’t have much leave left, so I can’t stay."
Commander Xu nods reluctantly: "Safe journey!"
As Yan Fengchi is about to board, he stands at the aircraft’s doorway looking at the entrance of the camp. Is Chenxing really not coming?
He boards the helicopter and walks to Gu Shaocheng "Brother, will Chenxing co? It’s been over half an hour."
Nan Baihao shrugs: "I think it’s doubtful. Hey, bro, I told you earlier, just knock her out and take her with you, why didn’t you do what I suggested? See how convenient it was for our fourth brother." As he said this, he couldn’t help but glance at the woman next to him, covered with an overcoat, unconscious.
What a figure!
Gu Shaocheng crosses his legs, interlocks his fingers resting them on his knees, maintaining a calm exterior despite so inner turmoil, his tone steady as ever "She’s a person who values relationships, so she might..."
Before he finishes his sentence, he sees a girl in the distance, struggling to lug a big suitcase this way.
Imdiately he nudges Yan Fengchi: "Go help her with the suitcase."
"If this is such a good chance to show off, why don’t you do it yourself?"
"Just do as you’re told!" Gu Shaocheng glares coldly at him.
Yan Fengchi, speechless, gets down from the helicopter to help carry Chenxing’s suitcase. Chenxing is panting heavily, her face covered in sweat.
In the last half hour, she has been running around explaining her mother’s illness and need to return ho to the Dean, saying her goodbyes to colleagues, handling the transfer of her responsibilities, and packing her stuff...
After much thought, she decides that she must go ho, if her mother’s illness can be treated, if her grandmother needs to be transferred to another nursing ho... "I’m sorry. I’m late. I would like to board the helicopter with you and return ho." Chenxing breathlessly enters the aircraft and stands in front of Gu Shaocheng, then she thanks him with a polite attitude: "Thanks for giving a lift."
Gu Shaocheng snorted at her polite posture, casually handed her a bottle of water: "Drink."
After taking a sip, Yan Fengchi and Nan Baihao exchange aningful glances. Chenxing chose a seat behind him after finishing her drink, but within 5 minutes, she started to feel drowsy.
Gu Shaocheng stood up, picked her up from the seat behind, and put her on the seat next to his, letting her head rest on his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Finally, a smooth journey.
Nan Baihao complained from across them: "Can I despise you two? You guys are pests among n. Using the sa water bottle you guys fixed up two won, and now you are each holding one! What am I supposed to do?"
... Updates will co before 12 noon.
