Su Nuo called Gu Chenglan twice but didn't hear a response. She suddenly started to panic, and immediately got up and ran to the living room, so anxious that she didn't even put on slippers.
The soft light in the living room made it warm, but it was also empty and there was no one around.
I ran to the kitchen again, opened the door and smelled a strong fresh fragrance.
Only then did he see that the casserole was covered with two layers of towels to keep it warm, and there was a note next to it.
Su Nuo picked up the note and looked at it, then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Gu Chenglan had gone to deliver soup to the old gentleman.
Su Nuo took off the towel and touched it. The soup in the casserole was still warm.
When I put it in a bowl, the soup was rich and the kelp was already soft. It wasn't fishy at all when I took a bite. Instead, it was blended with the fragrance of the big bones.
Sunuo happened to be hungry, so he leaned against the stove and ate a bowl first. The soup felt warm in my stomach and made me feel comfortable all over.
Sunuo was just looking for any other staple food when she heard the door knock.
Gu Chenglan came in with the car keys and a thermos cup in his hand.
Gu Chenglan saw that the light in the kitchen was on, and when he walked in, he saw Sunuo drinking soup with bare feet.
"Why aren't you wearing any shoes?" Gu Chenglan didn't even have time to put down the thermos, so he went to the back room to bring Suno's slippers.
He knelt down and helped Sunuo put it on before saying, "Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you up. The old gentleman said the soup was delicious and he finished eating it."
Su Nuo was still chewing half of a stick of kelp in his mouth. He quickly swallowed it and asked, "The teacher didn't ask me why I didn't go?"
"Asked." Gu Chenglan leaned over and whispered in Sunuo's ear: "I told him that we were planning to have a baby. I accidentally tired you."
"Ah!" Suno almost went crazy: "You can't really say that, can you?"
"Yes." Gu Chenglan nodded seriously: "The first half of the sentence is absolutely true, and the second half is what I said in my heart. But I think the old gentleman should understand."
"It's over." Sunuo covered his face and squatted on the ground, feeling that he had no shame to see the teacher again.
"That's right." Gu Chenglan said, "The old gentleman asked me to ask you, have you thought about it?"
"..." Su Nuo was startled and told her about the old man's plan to leave the tea mountain to her.
Gu Chenglan thought for a while and asked Suno: "Then why don't you want it? Is it because it's too expensive? Or are you afraid of trouble?"
"How could I be afraid of trouble?" Suno almost yelled.
"Su Nuo, I think you should respect the old gentleman's wishes." Gu Chenglan touched Su Nuo's hair and said, "He trusts you and loves you so much. He hopes to leave the best things to you, his proud disciple. At the same time, I also hope you will pass on his will.”
Su Nuo looked deeply into Gu Chenglan's beautiful and deep eyes and nodded: "I understand."
"We can build a private museum or a small tea house in the old house to promote the ancient culture respected by the old man." Gu Chenglan suggested to Su Nuo.
Su Nuo completely understood Gu Chenglan's thoughts.
And she also knew that the old man should not be left with any regrets, and she also had the responsibility to pass on these beautiful things.
The next day, Su Nuo and Gu Chenglan came to the hospital early and gave the old gentleman a positive answer.
Mr. Li Li was very happy. This was what he meant when he chatted with Gu Chenglan yesterday, and wanted Gu Chenglan to persuade Su Nuo.
Now that his wish has been fulfilled, the old man's smile also contains a bit of satisfaction that his wish was fulfilled.
But Su Nuo could not help but feel even more sad. She was afraid that she would spend less and less time with her teacher.
