Chapter 7: Lady, please be responsible for me 04
Gu Rong was injured, Jian Qi and Su Jingjing felt bad for him, so they placed Gu Rong in their guest room, treating him like an old, weak, or disabled person. Because of his injured leg, Gu Rong never left the house. Jian Qi was a rough man, and he didn't take care of Gu Rong, let alone himself, so this important task fell on Su Jingjing. Gu Rong didn't expect that he would get a blessing in disguise, and he could actually enjoy Su Jingjing's personal service every day.
"It's time to eat." Su Jingjing shouted while standing in Gu Rong's room with food in her hand.
Gu Rong, who was playing games on his mobile phone, heard Su Jingjing's cry and quickly stuffed the phone back under the pillow. He looked exactly like a child who was afraid of being discovered by his parents while playing games.
"Come in." Gu Rong called out in a weak voice.
Su Jingjing walked into the room and saw Gu Rong still lying on the bed with his eyes half closed, looking as if no treatment had worked.
"It shouldn't be like this. Dad said that with your physical condition, your injury should have healed by now, but it feels like you haven't gotten any better at all." Su Jingjing looked at Gu Rong in confusion.
Gu Rong opened his eyes and said weakly: "Maybe it depends on the person..."
"It's possible." Su Jingjing helped Gu Rong get up and put the meal in front of him, "Eat."
Seeing this, Gu Rong raised his right hand tremblingly, and tried to grab the chopsticks several times but dropped them on the table. It seemed that he was completely powerless. In the end, he could only blink his innocent eyes and look at Su Jingjing.
Su Jingjing's hair stood on end when Gu Rong looked at her: "How about I feed you?"
"Ah!" Gu Rong opened his mouth immediately.
Su Jingjing could only act as Gu Rong's temporary babysitter and feed food into his mouth.
The two people in the room who were concentrating on their work did not see the figures flashing outside the window, but the two figures wandered outside the house for a long time. Because Gu Rong's guest room was on the first floor, people outside the window could see their behavior clearly.
"Master, Gu Rong has been in the Su family for almost a month. His body has recovered well, but he looks anxious every time he sees Jingjing. It's not a long-term solution for him to stay in the Su family like this." Han Ran has been practicing in the Su family recently and has become much stronger. He and Su's father stood in the courtyard discussing matters concerning Gu Rong.
Father Su looked at Gu Rong's guest room and nodded: "You are right. He can't stay in the Su family anymore. Originally, we thought he was injured by Jian Qi, so the Su family had an obligation to take care of him until he recovered. But now he has other intentions, and the Su family really can't keep him."
"Master, what you said makes sense." Han Ran said, "But he keeps staying here and won't leave. What should I do?"
After all, old people are more experienced. After lingering for a while, Su's father came up with an idea and whispered it to Han Ran, who praised him repeatedly.
"Jingjing, Master is looking for you." Second Senior Brother Bai Hai walked into Gu Rong's bedroom and found Su Jingjing helping Gu Rong change the medicine.
When Su Jingjing heard that her father was looking for her, she quickly packed up the medicine, then turned to Gu Rong and said, "I'll go to my dad first and change the medicine for you later."
"Okay." Gu Rong replied weakly, "Go ahead, don't worry about me."
Su Jingjing followed her second senior brother Bai Hai out of the house and asked hurriedly, "Senior brother, what does Dad want to talk to me about?"
"Actually, I was looking for you." Bai Hai looked embarrassed when he said this.
"What's going on?" Su Jingjing looked at Bai Hai in confusion.
Bai Hai rubbed his face, trying to avoid Su Jingjing's sight: "Do you know what kind of boy Amy likes?"
"ah?"
Seeing Su Jingjing close the door and leave, Gu Rong hurried downstairs to check the situation. After confirming that Su Jingjing had gone far away, he immediately relaxed, took out his mobile phone from under the pillow again, crossed his legs and fell on the bed to play happily. The leg he crossed was the leg he lied about not being healed. His injury had actually healed a long time ago, but he had been staying at Su Jingjing's house.
For Gu Rong, pretending to be sick is simply the happiest thing in the world. Not only can he see Su Jingjing every day, but he is also well fed and well cared for. Although life is a bit monotonous, with only the mobile phone for his entertainment, he knows that life is never perfect, so he is still very content.
Gu Rong was lying on the bed having fun when he smelled a strong smell of cigarettes. Although he didn't care at first, when the smoke drifted into the house through the window, he finally couldn't hold back, jumped up, and ran out without hesitation with his phone in hand.
"There's a fire, put it out!" he shouted as he ran.
Gu Rong ran out of the house at a brisk pace and stood in the middle of the courtyard, panting. When he came to his senses, he found that a group of people had surrounded him, including Su's father, Su Jingjing, and Han Ran. Han Ran, in particular, had a half-smile on his face, looking forward to the show.
"you……"
"Want to know what's going on?" Han Ran turned sideways and pointed at Gu Rong's windowsill, "Look for yourself."
Following the direction of Han Ran's finger, Gu Rong saw a coal stove for barbecue burning, and the gray-black smoke was drifting into the house through the window. It turned out that this was the culprit of the "fire".
Gu Rong stared at the coal stove in silence: "You guys..."
"Master's method is still the best, otherwise I don't know how long you will keep pretending to be sick. Jingjing, you saw that his legs didn't have any sequelae at all." Han Ran said to Su Jingjing .
Gu Rong then realized that Second Senior Brother Bai Hai's request for Su Jingjing to leave was a so-called tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He was caught in the act and could only bow his head and admit, "I'm sorry."
"Gu Rong, you are quite agile!" Su Jingjing's eyes were fixed on Gu Rong.
Gu Rong felt as if Su Jingjing's gaze was burning a hole in him, and he quickly apologized: "Jingjing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pretend to be sick, I just wanted to see you more..."
"Don't explain!" Su Jingjing stretched out her hand to interrupt Gu Rong's words, "You've been well for a long time, and you still asked me to bring you water and food?"
"I was wrong."
"You've been well for a long time, but you still want me to wash your clothes and feed you?"
"I was wrong." Gu Rong bowed her head and admitted her mistake like a little wife.
"If an apology is useful, what else do you need me for?"
Gu Rong felt that this sentence was familiar, but he also felt that something was wrong. Just when he wanted to raise his head to express his doubts, he saw Su Jingjing clenching her fists and slowly approaching him. Gu Rong stepped back again and again, and asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do? Jingjing, you have to calm down, really, impulse is the devil, and rage will cause a stroke..."
"I would rather have a stroke and become a devil today!" Su Jingjing said as she rushed towards Gu Rong.
Gu Rong jumped three feet high, turned around and ran out. The Su family was located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by dirt roads. Gu Rong ran straight to the hillside in the distance after leaving the Su family. Su Jingjing chased after him.
The sun gradually set, and in the distance large patches of red clouds spread across the sky. The red sunlight dyed both Su Jingjing and Gu Rong red. The two of them chased each other on the hillside without fear of the severe cold. The originally tense atmosphere was gradually broken by laughter, and the laughter resounded through the sky.
Gu Rong finally failed to stay at Su's house and returned to his own apartment. Su Jingjing stood on the terrace and looked at the silent night sky. Gu Rong's appearance unconsciously appeared in her mind, every move, everything, even the crescent moon in the sky seemed to have his shadow.
"Jingjing." Father Su shouted from outside the door.
Su Jingjing came to her senses and ran over to open the door.
"Dad wants to talk to you." Su's father said seriously.
Although Su Jingjing didn't know what to talk about, she also became serious.
Father Su sat on a chair in Su Jingjing's room. After looking around the room, he said, "What is your relationship with that Gu Rong?"
"What's the relationship?" Su Jingjing was stunned for a moment, unable to answer her father.
"Tell me the truth, are you with that boy?" Father Su's eyes were so sharp that it was impossible to escape.
Su Jingjing shook her head hesitantly and replied, "No."
"No?"
"Amy, he and I are classmates and we have a good relationship." Su Jingjing had never told her father that she was Gu Rong's personal bodyguard, and she didn't want to tell him now.
Su Jingjing's mother died early, so Su's father could be said to be both a father and a mother. Although he was a big and strong man, he was always particularly delicate towards Su Jingjing.
"You didn't lie to me?" He was a little unconvinced.
"No."
Father Su sighed and said, "I don't want you to be with someone like Gu Rong. I heard that Gu Rong's parents are both businessmen, and people who do business are very shrewd. If you are with him, you will suffer."
Su Jingjing has been very obedient to her father since she was a child, except for one thing, that is, the college entrance examination. Su's father's view of businessmen is deeply rooted. Su Jingjing wanted to defend Gu Rong, but suddenly saw the white hair on her father's temples, and she felt sorry for him. She didn't want to make him unhappy, so she just listened silently.
