Ji Xingmi then turned back to tell everyone, "The temperature has come down. Just need to give Grandpa some water later!"
Only then did Madam Gu have the mood to smooth her hair and say, "I'm really sorry, little Star. To call you over so late at night! It's too late now, I'll tidy up a room for you, you can stay here!"
Gu Zhonghua also remembered this at this moment and quickly prepared to go out and instruct the aunt to help tidy up a guest room.
"Uncle! No need," Gu Zhonghua was stopped by Ji Xingmi just as he turned. He thought she didn't want to stay here when he heard her words. He was even considering whether to help her find a place to live if they got married and she didn't want to live there, or even if she wanted to live outside.
To his surprise, Ji Xingmi continued, "I'll stay in Jingyi's room! Don't bother with tidying up so late at night. Everyone should get some rest." At this time, waking people up and then arranging a room, who knew how long it would take? It was better to find a ready-made room, since their relationship was already at that point, there was no need to overthink it!
Hearing this, Gu Zhonghua nodded and asked Gu Jingzhao to take her to Gu Jingyi's room. After Ji Xingmi left, Gu Zhonghua smiled as if relieved, and then returned to his father's side to guard him.
After leaving the door, Gu Jingzhao thanked Ji Xingmi with red eyes, and then escorted her to his elder brother's room door. After Ji Xingmi entered the room, she surveyed it, and then headed straight for the big bed. To be honest, she was a bit sleepy now. She hadn't felt it when she was nervous, but now that she relaxed, she felt her eyes couldn't stay open.
When Ji Xingmi woke up, it was already dawn. Ji Xingmi was startled to feel someone next to her and sat up, only to see Gu Jingyi half-reclining by the bed reading a book.
Seeing her suddenly sit up, Gu Jingyi smiled and said, "You're awake?"
"Why are you here?" Ji Xingmi asked, and then remembered this was his room, but wasn't this too coincidental? She had only stayed here for one night, and he appeared?
"I came back to pack my things!" Gu Jingyi naturally noticed Ji Xingmi's embarrassment, but he didn't care about that now. Instead, he put the book in his hand on the bedside table, and then reached out to pull her into his arms.
No one knew that when he saw her on the big bed in his room just now, he almost lost control of the beast within him. After finally calming down, he completely forgot about packing his luggage.
Ji Xingmi was not so nervous now and found a comfortable position on him, leaning and asking, "Did you pack your things?"
"Not at all. When I came in, I saw a sleeping fairy, and then I was captivated!"
"Really?" Ji Xingmi smiled as she looked at him!
Gu Jingyi was attracted by her smile, lowered his head and kissed her, saying, "Yes! Are you hungry? I'll take you to breakfast!"
"Hmm, a little! But I want to see Grandpa first!" Gu Jingyi's eyebrows raised when he heard this. Then he went to the bathroom to help prepare toiletries, and also gave Ji Xingmi time to get up and get ready.
"Grandpa has already had breakfast downstairs! You can see him when you go downstairs! So, Your Royal Highness, the toiletries are ready."
"Hmm! Not bad!"
Gu Jingyi leaned by the door and watched her wash up. He loved this scene, as if they had been living together for a long time. When Ji Xingmi was ready, Gu Jingyi took her downstairs. The aunt happened to be carrying out the freshly made wontons and placed them on the dining table.
"Did you say that?" Ji Xingmi bumped him and asked.
"Hmm, I thought you'd like it!" Ji Xingmi gave him a look of appreciation when she heard this, and then greeted the elder Gu couple in the living room. Grandpa Gu waved at her happily. She didn't see Gu's father, so he probably went to work.
After she finished breakfast, she took Grandpa Gu's pulse. The old man was still a bit weak, but there were no major problems. Ji Xingmi wrote out a prescription, which would be used for medicinal meals later, and then left some pills for Grandpa, thus completing her task.
After she finished, Grandpa Gu asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yes, Grandpa, pay attention to your health, even a small cold needs attention!" Grandpa Gu's condition was caused by a small cold this time. At first, it was just a common cold and wasn't taken seriously. By the time inflammation set in, he had a recurring fever. This was partly because Grandpa Gu's body was still strong. The subsequent high fever made his body unable to cope.
"I know!" Grandpa Gu replied, then looked at his eldest grandson clinging to Ji Xingmi and said, "Weren't you going to pack your luggage?"
Gu Jingyi looked at his seemingly displeased grandfather, sighed, and got up to go upstairs. Ji Xingmi, however, seeing his slightly disappointed expression, said a word to Grandpa Gu and followed him upstairs.
"Do you believe me if I say that kid is faking it?" Grandpa Gu said to his wife, who was reading the newspaper next to him.
"Can't you just give the young couple some time? You're trying to snatch your grandson, and then you're going to blame him for playing tricks?" Grandma Gu rolled her eyes at him, then continued reading her newspaper.
