Gu Ziyi took Luo Lian to the hospital. The injury was not serious, but it looked a bit scary. Gauze was applied and anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed.
During this period, Gu Ziyi had been following him, going to the pharmacy to get medicine for him.
After finishing this, Gu Ziyi came out of the hospital with him. The two of them had little communication throughout the whole process and were very silent.
"Can you go home by yourself?" Gu Ziyi still held his car keys in her hand. She conveniently put the medicine into Luo Lian's hand, but was not in a hurry to give him the key.
Luo Lian raised his hand and pressed his stomach with innocent eyes, "I'm hungry."
Gu Ziyi: "..."
She pursed her lips and walked forward without saying a word. The car keys are still in her hand.
Luo Lian followed her and smiled.
Gu Ziyi thought about Luo Lian's stomach problem, because she also had some stomach problems and had irregular meals all year round, which could easily leave some problems. So I really need a meal right now.
Gu Ziyi got into the car, and Luo Lian quickly got into the passenger seat.
She remembered that when she first came to the hospital, she saw a porridge shop. She had a bad stomach and suffered a skin injury. It was better to eat lighter to avoid inflammation.
She started to drive back along the memory.
Luo Lian said: "Last time... don't believe what Pei Yuan said. I will not marry her."
Gu Ziyi's lips pursed into a straight line.
"I didn't know about the engagement beforehand. It was a marriage between two families, and I don't intend to exchange my marriage for benefits." Luo Lian said very sincerely.
Gu Ziyi's hands were holding the steering wheel tightly, with no expression on her face.
"Gu Ziyi, believe it or not, I really like you."
Gu Ziyi finally reacted. She glanced sideways at Luo Lian and said, "I think I made it very clear last time. If you like me, I don't have to respond."
"You don't have a boyfriend now, can't I try to get it?" Luo Lian had a smile on his lips.
Just as Gu Ziyi was about to speak, Luo Lian interrupted her: "I'm not joking, I want to marry you..."
Gu Ziyi stepped on the brake.
The car jolted, and Luo Lian didn't finish his words.
Gu Ziyi unbuckled her seat belt, pulled out her car keys, and said, "Get out of the car."
Luo Lian unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car. Only then did they realize that they had arrived at the entrance of a porridge shop.
Gu Ziyi had already strode in first.
Luo Lian quickly caught up with her, because Gu Ziyi hadn't given him any response to what he just said.
Gu Ziyi ordered two bowls of porridge, and then two light side dishes.
She chose a seat on the inside and sat down.
Luo Lian sat opposite her and stared at her closely.
Gu Ziyi took out a wet tissue from her pocket and wiped her fingers. Then he wiped the tabletop again, and then put his elbow on it.
Luo Lian said that he wanted to marry her.
Gu Ziyi lost her mind for a moment and was in a trance. I almost drove the car past the entrance of the porridge shop.
For a moment, she didn't know... how to answer.
She said the last time she said: "The past is the past. I am no longer in my early twenties, so I am not so easy to be deceived. I will not spend time in a love relationship that is a joke, and I will not have anything to do with you." The most suitable relationship after a breakup is when we are both dead in each other's world."
Luo Lian said this time: "I'm not joking, I want to marry you..."
Gu Ziyi hesitated.
Luo Lian still looked at her, "Gu Ziyi?"
Her eyelashes trembled, then she looked at him, "Huh?"
"I said I wasn't kidding."
Gu Ziyi was afraid that he would suddenly say "I want to marry you" again, so she quickly raised her hand to interrupt him, "I... have the same idea as last time."
She was shaken, but it was not enough to make her agree to Luo Lian.
She didn't want to waste a lot of time on Luo Lian.
Luo Lian was silent for a while, and then smiled again. He looked at Gu Ziyi with extremely gentle eyes, "Then I will be your suitor. I think there is always a chance to impress you."
Gu Ziyi wanted to say "no need", but... Luo Lian was the kind of person who insisted on having her own way, and she wouldn't change anything even if she said so. Unless she starts a relationship with another person, Luo Lian will not give up so easily.
The waiter brought what Gu Ziyi ordered.
Gu Ziyi picked up the spoon, stirred the porridge, and then scooped up a spoonful.
Luo Lian didn't move.
Gu Ziyi swallowed the porridge, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Don't like eating porridge?"
"I'm hungry." Luo Lian picked up the spoon and started eating slowly.
In his mind, he vaguely remembered the time when he took Gu Ziyi out to eat hot pot.
—
Gu Ziyi likes purple very much. She is willing to buy hats, clothes, pants, skirts, shoes, and any item in her favorite color. There is always something purple on her body, big or small, almost a symbol of her.
They went out to eat hot pot that day. Gu Ziyi wore a purple peaked cap that matched her T-shirt. On the chest of the T-shirt was a purple stuffed monster.
She originally said she was going shopping, but while walking, Gu Ziyi said she was hungry.
Luo Lian took her to a hot pot restaurant because there were many people in this restaurant, probably because it tasted so good that it was very popular.
Gu Ziyi is not picky about what she eats, but she is very regular. She rarely tries things she hasn't eaten before, and almost always has fixed flavors and ingredients.
Luo Lian sat opposite her, placing dishes and meatballs while busy looking at how much Ziyi had eaten on her plate and bowl.
Luo Lian felt that Gu Ziyi was like a rabbit, eating in small bites, but not too slowly.
As long as Gu Ziyi's bowl is empty, he will immediately fill her plate.
"That's enough, that's enough." Gu Ziyi hurriedly reached out to cover her plate.
Luo Lian chuckled: "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
Gu Ziyi puffed up her face and said, "I'm full. I can't eat anymore. My stomach is bloated."
"Didn't you just say that you are so hungry that you have no strength and can't walk. Can one person eat three servings?" Luo Lian continued.
Gu Ziyi put down her hands, "I really can't stand it anymore. I'm going to throw up if I eat anymore. I've eaten so much today that I'm afraid I'll gain three pounds."
Luo Lian put all the vegetables on his plate, "It's okay, I want you anyway."
Gu Ziyi blushed slightly and smiled at him.
At that time... it was so beautiful.
—
Gu Ziyi was originally going to have dinner with Xu Ruanruan and Xiang Shen. As a result... I could only drink porridge with Luo Lian, feeling that I was deprived of good food. What could have been big fish and meat, now only porridge and side dishes are left.
Gu Ziyi put down the spoon and couldn't drink any more. And it's too vegetarian. She should order takeout for herself when she gets home in the evening.
Seeing her stop, Luo Lian also put down his chopsticks.
Gu Ziyi gave him a strange look, and her tone was commanding: "Drink up." After all, we had been together before, so she didn't know how much Luo Lian ate.
