Chapter 217 A smell of tea
This body is too fragile, especially after taking a lot of sleeping pills. Gu Qingyin was afraid that eating anything else would irritate her stomach, so she bought a bowl of eight-treasure porridge. It was warm and soft, filling her stomach and quickly replenishing her energy.
A small table was set up on the bed, Gu Qingyin put the porridge bowl up and started eating as if no one else was watching.
Zhou Jingchuan's forehead was throbbing with veins, "Gu Qingyin...!"
Eh? Gu Qingyin stopped eating her porridge, and the original owner actually had the same name as her! They look very similar... She frowned. Could it be that she was thrown into a parallel time and space?
Zhou Jingchuan originally wanted to talk to her about the engagement, but he thought that she had lost her memory and could not speak for some reason, even though it was all her own fault. After thinking about it, he started by introducing himself.
"My name is Zhou Jingchuan, and I am your... fiancé."
Gu Qingyin looked back in shock, her fiancé is right next to me! She shook her head and quickly distanced herself from the relationship, "No, no, no, no, the engagement has been terminated. From now on, life and death are irrelevant!"
Seeing that Zhou Jingchuan's face was not very good, she thought about it carefully and asked, "Have we exchanged any tokens? Or have the elders in the family exchanged wedding invitations?"
"No." Zhou Jingchuan pursed his thin lips tightly and his eyebrows darkened, "It was just a verbal agreement. After your parents left, this agreement was originally going to be void. My mother couldn't bear to have you alone, so..."
"I understand." Gu Qingyin nodded and said: "When I am discharged from the hospital, I will go and explain it to my aunt." She wiped her mouth and politely said: "Can you please answer a few questions for me?"
Zhou Jingchuan nodded, "You ask."
"You just said that my parents have passed away, right? So am I living alone now? Are there any close relatives at home? What do I rely on to make a living now?"
Zhou Jingchuan thought for a while and said, "You don't have a job, and you don't interact with people very much."
It was rare for him to speak tactfully, for fear of irritating the patient. In fact, what he wanted to say was that Gu Qingyin was usually a homely and withdrawn person, living like a ghost, making people dislike her and not even having any friends.
After thinking about it, Zhou Jingchuan continued: "The inheritance your parents left you, as well as the insurance money from the accident compensation, are enough for you to spend a few lifetimes doing nothing."
Gu Qingyin suddenly understood, and then she didn't understand. She didn't have the best relatives and had a huge inheritance, so why would she commit suicide? After thinking about it, there is only one reason.
She looked at Zhou Jingchuan, "Did we have a good relationship before?"
Zhou Jingchuan looked at her with a complicated expression.
Before this, Gu Qingyin was indeed very dependent on him. He once thought of taking good care of her out of pity, but he really had no feelings for her. Whether it was hobbies or personalities, they were too incompatible.
Therefore, after working hard for a while, Zhou Jingchuan gave up and began to deliberately keep a distance from her, hoping to find a suitable time to completely terminate the engagement.
Right now...maybe the best opportunity.
"It's just a friend. I have someone I like." Zhou Jingchuan said very directly, "If you don't mention it, I will also terminate the engagement after a while. I can't let Xiaoxiao be wronged."
Gu Qingyin understood, and the look in his eyes was a little subtle. Eighty percent of the time it's because the original owner likes this fiancé, and then the fiancé likes someone else... Oh, there are thousands of men in the world, why can't sisters be so obsessed with it?
"You and that Xiaoxiao have already established a relationship, right?"
Zhou Jingchuan frowned subconsciously, "No, don't think about it."
Gu Qingyin shrugged and continued to drink porridge without going into details.
Zhou Jingchuan should have breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows furrowed even more tightly, obviously not used to her indifferent attitude.
"You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
Gu Qingyin waved her hand politely, "Bye, don't close the door, I want some ventilation."
Zhou Jingchuan took a deep breath, feeling a little unwilling for some reason, "Let me know when you're discharged from the hospital and I'll pick you up." Afraid of her rejection, he followed up and said, "Go directly to my house and tell my mother clearly." Sure enough, Gu Qingyin did. Nodding, "Okay, is there anything Auntie likes? It's not a good idea to visit empty-handed."
Zhou Jingchuan's expression became more complicated, "Your personality has changed a lot since you lost your memory."
Gu Qingyin said calmly, "After all, you are a person who has been through hell once. It is normal to have some changes."
"Jade." Zhou Jingchuan said: "My mother likes jade, and she is not an aunt, but a godmother."
Gu Qingyin nodded to express her understanding, "Let's go slowly without seeing you off."
Zhou Jingchuan took a few steps towards the door and then stopped, turning to look at her but hesitated to speak.
Gu Qingyin sighed secretly and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't explained?"
Zhou Jingchuan said with determination, "You will always be my sister. You can come to me if you encounter anything in the future."
Gu Qingyin made a perfunctory hum, just wanting to get rid of the person quickly so that she could watch a variety show and drink porridge at the same time.
What happened was counterproductive. Before Zhou Jingchuan could reach the door, someone knocked on the ward door again, and then it was pushed open.
Gu Qingyin thought it was the medical staff, but a frail-looking woman wearing a long skirt came in and smelled of tea as soon as she opened her mouth.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The woman stopped at the door, looked at Gu Qingyin on the hospital bed, and then at Zhou Jingchuan, her eyes immediately turned red, "I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"
Zhou Jingchuan suddenly showed a distressed expression, walked over and held the woman's hand, "No, I was just planning to leave."
The woman looked at Gu Qingyin worriedly, "Sister Gu, don't you need some escort? Jingchuan, you are busy with work and have no time, I can stay and take care of your sister."
Zhou Jingchuan looked disapproving, "Your hands are used for drawing, how can you do such rough work? If she really needs care, just hire a nurse."
The woman shook her head and refused, "How can outsiders be as careful as family members?"
Zhou Jingchuan's brows furrowed again, "Otherwise, let Mother Chen come over."
The woman's heart skipped a beat. Ma Chen was the cooking aunt in the Zhou family's old house. She had been there for more than 20 years. Her status in the Zhou family was extraordinary. If she really called her over, wouldn't she be giving Gu Qingyin an assist?
She shook her head again, "Mother Chen is old and she may not be able to stay up late at night, so I'll do it."
The two of them kept rejecting every idea they came up with. Gu Qingyin, who was in the hospital bed, stopped drinking porridge and looked like a "subway grandpa looking at his phone".
"Well... everyone has hobbies. I don't understand but I respect it, but if you want to act in an idol drama, can you not do it in my ward? I prefer watching variety shows!"
The two people at the door froze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Gu Qingyin's eyes fell on the woman and she guessed: "Are you just smiling?"
The woman was stunned and looked back in confusion. How could Gu Qingyin ask questions knowingly? The tone is still so flat, have you changed the route?
Next to him, Zhou Jingchuan reminded, "She has lost her memory."
Lin Xiao was surprised for a moment, and then showed a distressed expression, "Don't be sad, we will accompany you to recall the past and help you recover as soon as possible."
Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows, "I'm young and beautiful, single and wealthy, living a free life, and my body... will be healthy soon. What should I be sad about?"
Lin Xiao was stunned again, single...?
