"Ok?"

Xiang Huanian, who didn't react, asked a question.

Although he didn't understand why, Xiang Huanian still took out two sets of short-sleeved shirts and shorts from his backpack and said to Gu Lingyan:

"Oh, I did bring it. I put it all in my backpack..."

"That's not it. What I meant is..."

Gu Lingyan hesitated for some reason while speaking, but he hadn't finished yet...

"Little sister! What do you think of this stool?"

After finding a stool that suited his taste, Gu Shaoyu ran in to take credit, holding up the stool in his hand and excitedly said to the two people in the room.

Gu Lingyan: “…” I feel a little tired.

"Thank you, brother-in-law, it's just right."

Xiang Huanian looked at the obviously waterproof stool in Gu Shaoyu's hand and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

"Well, it's no big deal. I'll put it in the bathroom for you."

I don’t know why, but every time I heard Xiang Huanian call him brother-in-law, Gu Shaoyu always felt relaxed all over. He walked happily to the bathroom with a stool in his arms, and stepped on the stool.

"Mr. Gu, what did you just say?"

After expressing his gratitude, Xiang Huanian turned his gaze back to Gu Lingyan.

But the other party just covered his face and said in distress:

"No, I'll tell you later when I rub the medicated oil on you. It's not appropriate to tell you now."

After saying that, Gu Lingyan turned around and walked out the door with Gu Shaoyu, who had put the stool away.

"Hey, wait, brother! I'll take An An out to save him from causing trouble later."

Gu Shaoyu picked up An An who was standing at Xiang Huanian's feet, smiled at Xiang Huanian, and then followed Gu Lingyan out.

Xiang Huanian did not refuse this kindness. After all, everything here seemed to be of low-key luxury. If the naughty An An bit something while she was washing herself, she would not be able to afford the compensation.

It’s just right for Gu Shaoyu to take her away.

"Click."

After the two brothers walked out, they considerately closed the door for Xiang Huanian.

Now Xiang Huanian was the only one left.

"Why do I feel so weird? Never mind, I'd better wipe the sweat off my body quickly..."

Because he would have to trouble Gu Lingyan to apply medicated oil on him later, and it was the middle of the night, so Xiang Huanian felt embarrassed to keep him waiting for a long time.

Xiang Huanian supported his inconvenient right foot, held on to the wall, and limped towards the bathroom.

However, after seeing himself in the mirror with messy hair and a face covered in sticky sweat, looking like a mad woman, Xiang Huanian couldn't help it. He held his head and suppressed his emotions, letting out a sigh of despair from his throat.

Outside.

"Brother-in-law?"

After leaving the room where Xiang Huanian was, Gu Lingyan's expression instantly returned to normal. He turned to Gu Shaoyu and asked.

"Yes, she calls Yunchu sister, so I am naturally her brother-in-law, no problem."

Gu Shaoyu responded with his chest puffed out, while adjusting the way he held An An.

"Are you so sure?" Gu Lingyan raised his eyebrows.

"Sooner or later."

Gu Shaoyu was full of confidence, and his eyes were filled with a rare joy.

"It's up to you."

Gu Lingyan would not make things difficult for him. After all, he was not an evil parent who would hinder lovers.

"Then I'll go back to my room first. I still have to call Yunchu back. I'll keep this guy in my room so he doesn't run around. I heard that kids his age love to cause trouble the most."

"Well, go to bed early."

Although she didn't sleep well, Gu Lingyan, like an old mother, still gave Gu Shaoyu some advice on some aspects.

Perhaps it was because she was unfamiliar with the place, or perhaps it was also some animal instinct, but An An was restless in Gu Shaoyu's arms, always wanting to climb down and run to Xiang Huanian's room.

"Okay, I got it. Good night, brother. You should go to bed early too. Okay, okay, An An, stop making trouble. My little sister is injured now and can't stand you tossing and turning at night. You should just sleep with me. Come on, let's go call your mother..."

Gu Shaoyu nodded in response, then turned around with An An in his arms and walked towards his room on the second floor.

Gu Lingyan stood there for a while, thought about it, and walked towards the kitchen.

"I remember there should be some milk in the refrigerator...here!"

Gu Lingyan took out a glass of sealed bottled pure milk from the refrigerator.

When he took it, he glanced at the expiration date on the bottle cap and found that it was still fresh.

But when he felt the icy temperature, he hesitated for a moment, took out a milk pot from the cupboard, turned on the fire, opened the milk and poured it in, then added a little sugar, and then took a spoon and stirred it to prevent the milk from overflowing.

Under the milky white light of the kitchen, Gu Lingyan looked inexplicably virtuous as she boiled milk.

It’s a pity that no one saw it.

In the guest room.

Xiang Huanian sat on a stool and hung her injured right foot, which could not touch water, on the table. She was quite flexible, and the almost split movement did not cause her any pain.

After adjusting the water temperature, Xiang Huanian filled a basin with hot water, then wet a soft towel, making sure not to wet the treated wound. He wiped off the sweat, dust, and cigarette ash on his body bit by bit.

Although this hot weather is not as comfortable as taking a shower, the feeling of being clean after wiping himself with a towel still makes Xiang Huanian feel a lot better.

After wiping himself clean, Xiang Huanian wanted to change his clothes, but when he was taking clothes out of his backpack, he found that his two sets of spare underwear were probably, perhaps, possibly, left at Lin's house.

"..."

Then, Xiang Huanian suddenly thought of the strange look on Gu Lingyan's face when he asked him if he had any clean clothes.

So they weren't asking about clothes to wear outside?!

Ah!

In an instant, Xiang Huanian, whose face turned red from his neck to his cheeks, buried his head deeply in the warm towel and let out a low scream.

"Meow?" What's that sound?

Lele lay down on the bed and warmed it up when she heard a strange noise coming from the bathroom. She turned over and tilted her head curiously, but she didn't hear any movement in the next few seconds. She simply closed her eyes and continued to sleep, not wanting to care about it anymore.

Miaomiao had already experienced escaping from a fire and going out in an unfamiliar environment. He was mentally exhausted and didn't want to think anymore.

Xiang Huanian was struggling in the bathroom. After much deliberation, he finally used an unused dry towel, wrapped it around his chest, and with difficulty, tied a knot with the short end.

Although it's a bit tight, it's better than nothing.

It's better than going into battle empty-handed.

After finishing the job, Xiang Huanian turned around, looked at himself in the mirror, made sure that no bulges were exposed, picked up his phone, mustered up his strength, closed his eyes, and sent a message to Gu Lingyan.

Medicated oil must be applied.

She can't rub it herself.

So, if you are destined to go through this.

It would be better to die early and be reborn soon.
