Chapter 177
The room was quiet, Gu Shi'an quickly came back to his senses, and walked lightly to the old lady's bedroom.

The old lady had already woken up this time, and was struggling to sit up from the bed.Gu Shi'an hurried forward to support her, and took a pillow for her to put behind her.

The old lady was a little surprised when she saw her, but she also knew that her aunt must have called her here.He had no choice but to say: "Grandma is fine, and there is a doctor here, what are you doing here?"

Gu Shi'an smiled slightly and said, "Hasn't it been a long time since I saw you? I'll come to accompany you."

As she spoke, she poured the old lady a glass of warm water.

The old lady took it and drank half of the glass of water before Gu Shi'an took the glass and put it down again.

Although the old lady is weak, her fever has subsided.Gu Shi'an wanted to serve porridge to the room, but she refused, saying that she had been lying down all morning, so she should move no matter what.

Gu Shi'an helped her out of bed.After taking care of the old lady, she washed up briefly, and then went to serve the porridge.

Although her craftsmanship is not as good as that of the aunt at home, the old lady is still full of praise.There was a little trance in a pair of cloudy eyes.She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.After sitting in the living room for a while, I was exhausted and went back to my room to rest.

The doctor came in the evening and examined the old lady.It is said that as long as the fever does not stop at night, it will be fine.But the old lady's body is not as good as before, and her blood pressure is also a little high, so she must pay more attention at night.

The expression on the doctor's face was a bit dignified, and Gu Shi'an's fingers couldn't help trembling slightly.Trying my best to control and calm down, I asked the doctor what to pay attention to, took a pen and wrote it down one by one, and then sent the doctor out.

She was flustered and stood outside for a while before going to the old lady's room.At that moment, the old lady had already fallen asleep. She stood by the bed and looked at the old lady's wrinkled face, feeling empty and sharp pain in her heart.

The old lady was her only relative in this world, she didn't even dare to think about what the doctor said.

She stood in front of the bed for a long time, until her eyes were so dry that she gently turned off the light and the door and backed out.

She was in a trance, and when she got outside, she stood at the door.It wasn't until her aunt came out of the kitchen to call her that she came back to her senses and forced a smile.

Her brows were tightly frowned, and the aunt naturally knew that she was worried about something, and said suicidally: "Don't think about it, the old lady is in much better health now. It's just a cold, nothing will happen Yes."

Gu Shi'an forced a smile and nodded.

After all, the villa is still too big and deserted.Gu Shi settled down for a while, and then asked the aunt if there is a folding bed here. She can sleep in the old lady's room tonight, or sleep on the floor.

The old lady's sleep was light, and she might not sleep well if they slept together.

The auntie was slightly stunned when she heard that she was going to sleep in the old lady's room, and then said: "You haven't rested since you came here, you rest yours, and I will take care of the old lady at night."

Not taking care of Gu Shi'an personally is not at ease, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's more convenient for me to sleep in the room."

Seeing her persistence, the aunt didn't say anything more.Take her to the utility room to find a rollaway bed.

There are a lot of things in the utility room. Although it is not neat, it is not messy.Looks like it hasn't been cleaned up yet.

There are many things inside that are indeed from the old house. Gu Shi'an looked at his aunt and asked, "Did grandma move all her things here?"

The aunt nodded now, and said: "I moved here. The old lady brought all her own and the old man's things. The old lady said that since she doesn't plan to go back, she should move out. The moved Mrs. Shi even made a fuss, but no one paid attention to her."

The aunt explained here: "The things that the old lady moved here are all the things she is used to. They are not valuable. The only valuable things are a few calligraphy and paintings collected by the old man. It has not been long since I moved here, and I haven't had time yet." tidy."

Just those few calligraphy and paintings alone are enough for Xu Jiarong to feel distressed.The old lady knew them well, if she hadn't just moved some worthless things, Xu Jiarong wouldn't have made a fuss and just let it go.

Gu Shi'an had no say in this matter, so he nodded.

The aunt chattered about the things that had been moved.Except for the used ones, almost all the things in the study were moved here.

Among those things, the old man's collection of books is mostly, if there is no one to take care of them, sooner or later they will be damaged by insects.

Gu Shi'an did not expect that the old lady would bring all the things in the study over, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Just about to ask something, the aunt sighed, and continued: "Since the things in the study were moved here, the old lady spends less time going out these days, and spends most of her time in the study wearing reading glasses."

The folding bed was placed inside, and she took the bed out after saying this.Gu Shi'an hurried forward to help.

Although it is piled up here and no one is in charge of it for the time being, the bed is also clean.As long as the bunk can sleep.

Gu Shi'an was afraid of waking up the old lady, so he was not in a hurry to move the bed to her room.First went upstairs to prepare paving and covering things.

The aunt originally wanted to help her, but she refused, saying that she could do it by herself.

She was still cleaning up upstairs when she heard the faint sound of a car outside.She didn't care about it, she packed her things and washed up upstairs, and then went downstairs with the quilt in her arms.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Chen Xiao sitting in the living room.She was slightly taken aback now.

Auntie was very happy to see Chen Xiao coming, and said with a smile, "Young master is here."

The phrase young man sounded very strange, Gu Shi'an felt a little uncomfortable, carried the quilt downstairs and put it on the folding bed beside him, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"The driver said that grandma is not feeling well, so I'll come over to take a look." The smile on Chen Xiao's face was impeccable.It's like the two are a loving couple.

He didn't change his clothes either, he should have come directly from the company.Gu Shi'an asked, "Have you eaten?"

Chen Xiao said no, paused, and then said: "The company has a few meetings today, and I'll just come over after the meeting."

The aunt was in the restaurant when the two were talking, and upon hearing this, she said, "There is no more food for tonight, I will cook noodles for my uncle."

Gu Shi'an walked over and said, "You go and rest, I'll just cook."

The old lady's illness was turned on her back, and it was not easy for everyone.

The aunt probably thought that the young couple should be alone for a while, so she said yes with a smile, wiped her hands and went back to the room.

Chicken soup was simmering on the stove, and the aunt probably wanted to make chicken shredded noodles for Chen Xiao.Gu Shi'an looked at it, and then took out all the ingredients.

Auntie has already returned to the room. While she was doing these things, Chen Xiao came over and asked, "Is grandma feeling better?"

Gu Shi'an nodded and said, "It's better, the fever has subsided." The driver left after taking her to the yard, and probably told him everything.

Chen Xiao nodded.

There was no conversation between the two for a while, he came here as a guest anyway, Gu Shi'an took out a cup and asked, "Would you like tea or boiled water?"

Chen Xiao can say anything now.

There is an inexplicable alienation between the two of them here, not as comfortable as in the new house.

Gu Shi'an made him a cup of tea before starting to cook the noodles.It didn't take much effort to cook the noodles, and it didn't take long for them to be cooked and brought to the table.He brought some side dishes to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was not in a hurry to eat. He looked around and asked, "Is the doctor not here?"

Gu Shi'an shook his head, and said in a low voice: "No. I came for a check-up in the evening, and said that if you don't have a fever at night, nothing will happen."

Even so, Chen Xiao frowned.But he didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles.

It's obviously not good to let him stay alone, Gu Shi'an couldn't find anything to do at this time, so he sat down opposite him.

Chen Xiao was hungry. Although he ate gracefully, he still finished his bowl of noodles in a short time.Even the soup is clean.

Not knowing if he was full, Gu Shian looked at his clean bowl and asked, "Do you want another bowl for you?"

"I'm full." Chen Xiao replied, got up and poured water by himself.

Gu Shi'an cleaned up the table, took the dishes and went back to the kitchen to wash.

After cleaning up, Chen Xiao was on the phone in the living room. Seeing Gu Shian go out, he hung up the phone and explained: "The old lady is old, and this place is far away from the hospital. She may have a fever at night. I It would be better to call the doctor over."

He is thoughtful.Gu Shi'an just said thank you.

Chen Xiao suddenly smiled, looked straight at her with a pair of eyes, and asked, "Gu Shi'an, do you have to be so polite to me?"

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, he ignored her and walked to the old lady's bedroom.Gently opened the door and looked, and saw that the old lady was asleep, and then closed the door again.

He rushed over after several meetings in a row, his face already somewhat tired.Gu Shi'an said, "I'm going to turn on the water, let's wash up first."

She said and went upstairs.Chen Xiao looked at her back, didn't speak, and followed her upstairs after a while.

When Gu Shi'an released the water, Chen Xiao was standing in the corridor smoking a cigarette, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He should have heard her footsteps, but he didn't look back.

His shadow was drawn long under the light, Gu Shi'an paused for a while, and said, "It's time to wash up."

It's far away from the city, so it's not convenient to buy things.In case guests come, new toiletries are prepared.

Chen Xiao stubbed out the cigarette butt, turned around and said hello.

Gu Shi'an didn't have anything to do when he stayed, so he was about to go downstairs.Who knew that as soon as she moved, Chen Xiao glanced at her and said, "Gu Shi'an, I think we need to talk."

Gu Shian's heart suddenly jumped.Although she didn't know what Chen Xiao wanted to talk about, she obviously couldn't refuse.So I just nodded.

Naturally, we couldn't stand and talk in the corridor. Chen Xiao looked at the stairs and went back to his room.Seeing Chen Xiao enter the room, Gu Shi'an followed him in.

This is the room she used to live in. Although there are many guest rooms here, if Chen Xiao can't live in her room, it will arouse suspicion.

He said he wanted to talk, but Chen Xiao didn't speak for a while when he entered the room.After standing in the middle of the room for a while, I looked at Gu Shi'an and said, "Even if we are divorced, how about we be the head office of friends? You don't have to be so deliberately alienated. I mean what I say. If after two years, you still haven't Change your mind and we'll divorce."

When he said this, he kept looking at Gu Shi'an, his tone was a little heavy, but he couldn't see any emotion at all.

This is the first time the two have talked about this matter calmly.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance for a moment, lowered his head, and after a while he simply said hello.This seems to be a better way to deal with it than to make everyone tired.

Chen Xiao quickly returned to his usual appearance, and said casually: "So, since you are friends, don't be so polite with me. The old lady is an elder, and I should do something."

After he said this, he didn't say any more, and went directly to the bathroom to wash up.

The sound of water soon came from the bathroom, Gu Shi'an didn't know why he suddenly talked about it, so he stood in the room for a while and went downstairs.

She went downstairs and sat on the sofa without moving until she heard footsteps upstairs, then she took out the remote control and turned on the TV.

The doctor called by Chen Xiao hasn't come yet, so the two of them have to wait.

Probably because it was too quiet, Chen Xiao found a topic to talk about.Gu Shi'an was much more silent than usual, and simply responded with a sentence or two.Chen Xiao didn't mind either.

The doctor came quickly, within an hour and a half.The old lady was asleep, because a doctor checked in the evening, and he didn't wake up the old lady again.He just asked Gu Shi'an about the condition of Mrs. Bai Tian and her past medical history.

Probably because of Chen Xiao, the doctor is very polite.Gu Shi'an felt a little sorry for asking him to rush over at night, and he said no to making him supper.

It was already late at night, so naturally I couldn't sit still.Gu Shi'an took him upstairs to rest.He was not polite this time, and told Gu Shi'an to call him if the old lady felt uncomfortable.

Gu Shi'an agreed, and then told him to trouble him and let him go to bed early, and then went downstairs.

The doctor went to rest, but Chen Xiao didn't seem to want to rest.Seeing Gu Shi'an going downstairs, he said, "You go to rest too, I'll take care of grandma."

He doesn't know whether he will go to work tomorrow, Gu Shi'an shook his head and said, "It's okay, you rest."

She said that she was about to move the simple bed to the old lady's room, but Chen Xiao stepped forward to take it.

The old lady was sound asleep, and the two of them made the bed in the room and did not wake him up.After leaving the room lightly, Gu Shi'an said softly: "Go to sleep, I can rest here."

She could sleep in that bed, but Chen Xiao felt a little forced to sleep in it.

Chen Xiao glanced at her and asked, "Can you sleep?"

Gu Shi'an stopped talking now, she really couldn't fall asleep.

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he went back to the living room, and asked Gu Shi'an to turn off the brightest light in the living room.Then sat down on the sofa.

Gu Shi'an didn't know what he wanted to sit on, turned off the light and left, either staying or staying, and finally sat on the sofa.

Chen Xiao quickly lit a cigarette and lit it up. Looking sideways at the dark window, he was silent for a while and asked, "Are you scared?"

In this matter, he has already experienced it.

Gu Shi'an was in a trance for a moment and didn't speak.

Chen Xiao didn't seem to find anything to comfort him, so he didn't speak for a while.After a while, she suddenly sat next to Gu Shi'an, pressed her head directly on his shoulder, and said, "Let me lean on your shoulder."

His actions are rude.I don't know how many cigarettes I have smoked, but there is a faint smell of tobacco on my body, so familiar, yet so strange.

Probably because of the fragility at night, Gu Shi'an couldn't say "I'm fine" for a while.

Probably because he was afraid that she would refuse, Chen Xiao held her head all the time, and his big palm was tightly stuck to her hair.Gu Shian gently closed his eyes.

The living room was extremely quiet, and no one spoke for a while.I don't know how long it took before Chen Xiao looked down at Gu Shi'an who was leaning on his shoulder, and said, "Gu Shi'an, don't be sad, no matter what happens in the future, I will be there."

His tone was very serious, rarely serious.

Gu Shian tightly closed his eyes without moving.After a minute or two, I gently said thank you.

It was a little past twelve o'clock when she went to bed. The small bed was made comfortably, but she couldn't fall asleep because of the need for the bed or some other reason.In the darkness, he looked sideways in the direction of the old lady's bed.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Chen Xiao said tonight.She never expected that there would be such a peaceful time between her and Chen Xiao.

She used to look forward to it so much, but at this moment, she is extremely at a loss.

The breathing of the old lady beside her was steady. She took a breath and quickly closed her eyes.

It's been a long time since she slept in the same room as the old lady. The last time she slept was probably when she was in school.

During a certain period of time when her father passed away, she often had nightmares, and she always had to be by the old lady's side to fall asleep.

Although she was not young at that time, the old lady still coaxed her like a child.At that time, the old lady was busy, and such time was limited, so she cherished it very much.Whenever I come home, what I look forward to most is to stay alone in the room with the old lady.

At that time, the old lady didn't have so many wrinkles on her face, and her body was much better than now... Gu Shi'an's eyes were sore.

Over the years, because of her second uncle's family, she has rarely returned to the old house, and she can't even remember when the old lady became so old.

Gu Shi'an couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and got up from time to time to check if the old lady had a fever, and then closed his eyes until the sky was getting brighter.

Her doze was startled, and the next morning she heard a slight noise from the bed, and she opened her eyes.

Auntie didn't know when she came in, she was helping the old lady to get up.

Knowing that she must have not slept much all night, the old lady said softly: "Grandma is already well, don't get up first, and then go to sleep."

Her complexion looked much better than yesterday.

How could Gu Shi'an not get up, he rolled up from the bed almost immediately.

The old lady glared at her now, and said, "Why are you so disobedient, child, if you tell you to sleep a little longer, you can sleep a little longer."

She straightened her face, Gu Shi'an had no choice but to lie back on the bed.

The aunt smiled and said, "Listen to the old lady and sleep well. My uncle is here and the doctor is here, so you don't have to worry about anything."

In the past, Chen Xiao had little contact with the Gu family, but because he called the doctor again last night, the aunt was very satisfied with him.

When Chen Xiao was mentioned, the old lady's face softened.After telling Gu Shi'an to sleep well, he went out with his aunt.

The door was quickly closed, and the room fell silent.Gu Shi'an originally planned to lie down for a while and get up, but she didn't sleep much last night, and she fell asleep again after lying down.

It was already past twelve noon when she woke up, she hurriedly put on her clothes, opened the door and went outside.

It was a harmonious place outside, Chen Xiao said something funny, which made the old lady laugh.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Xiao raised his head and looked at Gu Shi'an. He couldn't be more natural and said, "Go wash up. Auntie has cooked delicious food. You can eat in a while."

The old lady was in good spirits, so Gu Shi'an felt relieved, he said hello, and went upstairs quickly.

Chen Xiao was dissatisfied with the old lady's personal doctor. During the meal, he introduced the resume of the doctor who came last night to the old lady and Gu Shi'an, saying that he would come every week to check the old lady's pulse.Let the old lady tell the doctor if she feels uncomfortable.

The grandson-in-law cared so much about her, the old lady was so happy from ear to ear, she didn't refuse, and she agreed again and again.

She was already almost recovered, and she refused to let the two of them stay with her any longer, and urged the two of them to go back to work on them after dinner.

Gu Shian can't rest assured that she stays here alone, and asks the old lady to go back with them.The old lady refused, saying that she was fine, but just a cold.Will call them if something happens.

Gu Shi'an refused to stay for another two days, and asked the two of them to come and see her on the weekend.

The old lady would not change her mind easily, so Gu Shi'an had to tell her aunt to call her immediately if she felt uncomfortable.

It was Chen Xiao who drove the car back home. When he was in the villa, his mobile phone was turned off, and he was quiet all the time.At this moment, when the phone was turned on, the phone calls came overwhelmingly.

There were clients waiting, and Assistant Sun was already in a hurry.He was not in a hurry at all, and told him that he would be there later, and asked him to drag the client first.

He even stayed here to accompany the old lady when he had something to do, even revealing that he was busy at all.Gu Shi'an's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
