Chapter 19 Gu Xiuyuan has a disease

“I didn’t intend to hide the matter of the three children from you at first, I just didn’t find a chance to tell you.” “They were adopted by my grandmother and are currently registered under my father’s name. Strictly speaking, they are my brothers without blood ties.” Gu Jingming didn’t hide anything, he told her the truth. Ye Qingtao stared at him with wide eyes, shocked.

“You’re almost 30 years old, how could your grandmother adopt three such young brothers for you?” “They are the children of my father’s benefactor. Their parents passed away and they became orphans. My family also knew that I couldn’t have children after my injury, so my father wanted to take them in to take care of them.” “Mainly because my grandmother is getting old, and I’m in the army for a long time, I can’t be with her, so she wanted to bring the three children to stay with her.

” Ye Qingtao knew what happened, and she fell silent. Gu Jingming looked at her anxiously, “Qingtao, after we get married, the three children will continue to live with grandma, it won’t affect you.” “Even if grandma is gone, it was my father who took them in, they are considered my father’s sons in name, he will find a way to take care of them.” Ye Qingtao had taken the medicine and was much better now. Her head wasn’t dizzy anymore, and her spirit had recovered a lot. The only thing that wasn’t good was that she was very hungry now. Ye Qingtao had just realized this problem, and her stomach was already rumbling uncontrollably.

 “It’s already past nine o’clock at night, it’s normal for you to feel hungry.” Ye Qingtao felt a little embarrassed, Gu Jingming reached out a hand to help her. “No need, I can walk by myself.” Ye Qingtao sat up from the bed, and her body swayed a little as she got out of bed because she wasn’t used to it. Before she could adjust her posture, she felt her feet go out from under her. Gu Jingming, relying on his strength, picked her up horizontally.

“You’re so hungry you can’t walk steadily, let me carry you, lest you fall down the stairs later.” Her body suddenly lifted into the air, Ye Qingtao was startled, she reflexively hugged Gu Jingming’s arm. When her body stabilized, she realized that their current posture was a little too intimate. “Gu Jingming, put me down, it’s not good for people to see us like this.” “Grandma and the kids are already asleep, and Aunt Liu went to bed early too.” Gu Jingming interrupted her subsequent words, and steadily carried her downstairs. Ye Qingtao nestled in his arms, her snow-white face turned red. Gu Jingming put her down on the chair and quickly brought over hot food.

“I didn’t know when you would wake up, so the food has been kept warm on the stove.” Gu Jingming saw the surprise in her eyes and explained with a smile. There were many kinds of dishes, it seemed like they had left some of each, but Ye Qingtao found that they were all things she liked to eat. It must have been when he helped her pick up food at noon, Gu Jingming had paid attention and remembered her preferences. Ye Qingtao lowered her head and ate quickly, a warm current passing through her heart.

This was the first time in her life that she had been treated so gently by someone. This feeling was a little strange, but she liked it. “I’m done.” Ye Qingtao got up to clean up the dishes, Gu Jingming immediately stopped her. “You sit down and rest, I can do this little thing.” Ye Qingtao sat back down, and only saw Gu Jingming quickly cleaning up the table.

 The sound of dishes hitting each other came from the kitchen, he even washed the dishes she had just eaten from. Gu Jingming came over after finishing his work, his white shirt was rolled up high on his arms, revealing a section of his strong arm. “Xiu Ping said he’s sleeping with his brother tonight, his room is empty, you’re his brother’s savior, he has no opinion if you want to sleep in his room.” “But, my family is very strict, no matter how late I play outside, I have to go home to sleep.”

 According to the memories Ye Qingtao received, as long as she didn’t go home at night, her parents would worry and stay up all night. They would take turns sitting in the living room, wearing clothes, waiting for her to come back. When she came back, her parents would go to sleep peacefully. “Mom looks gentle and easy to talk to, but she’s a principled person. I’ve already called your parents and explained today’s situation to them, and they understand.”

 “They said you must be tired today, if you wake up late, just stay and rest, no need to go back late at night and toss and turn.” Gu Jingming called them Mom and Dad, calling them more affectionately than she did. “Did my mom really say that?” Ye Qingtao rubbed her ears, not believing it. “My house has a landline, you can call back now to confirm.”

 Gu Jingming didn’t get angry because of her distrust, but generously let her make the call. “Forget it, it’s so late, my parents must have gone to sleep, I won’t go and disturb their rest, I’ll believe you this time.” Ye Qingtao yawned and walked upstairs, she was a little sleepy after just waking up, it was really strange. Ye Qingtao went upstairs, Gu Jingming followed her upstairs. Ye Qingtao went back to her room, Gu Jingming also followed her back to her room.

“What are you doing? You’re not going back to your own room to sleep at night?” “Actually, this is the room I share with Xiu Ping.” Gu Jingming closed the door, looking embarrassed as he said to her. “What?” “This is your room? I’ll go back then.” Ye Qingtao turned to leave, Gu Jingming quickly stopped her.

“I just came in to get some clothes to take a shower.” Gu Jingming smiled playfully, a slight smirk on his lips. He turned to the closet to get his clothes, and then went out. Ye Qingtao stood awkwardly to the side, her face already flushed red.

Making sure that Gu Jingming was far away, Ye Qingtao quickly locked the door. She lay back down on the bed, but because she was too nervous, her heart kept pounding. Ye Qingtao turned off the light and closed her eyes, but Gu Jingming’s image kept appearing in her mind. They had only known each other for a few days, and they had met only a few times, yet he had left such a deep impression on her. Gu Jingming, if he wanted to be good to someone, he was truly good.

Ye Qingtao had never seen him love anyone else, and she didn’t know what love was. Ye Qingtao drifted off to sleep, still thinking about the three children. No wonder when she first came to his house, Gu Jingming asked the children to call her sister, that was the reason.

The next morning, Ye Qingtao woke up naturally. She hadn’t slept well last night, and her mental state wasn’t very good today. Ye Qingtao yawned as she went downstairs, Gu Jingming smiled and greeted her. “Ye Qingtao, good morning.” “Gu Jingming, good morning.” Gu Xiu Yuan had rested for a day yesterday, and his mental state was much better today.

 Seeing her come downstairs, Gu Xiu Yuan, who had been curled up on the sofa, quickly stood up. He had been unconscious when he was just rescued yesterday, and after a night of rest, his mental state had obviously improved a lot. “Sister, thank you for yesterday. If you hadn’t saved me, I might be dead now.” Gu Xiu Yuan bowed deeply to her, and also deeply realized his mistake.

 “It’s all my fault for not listening to you. If I hadn’t been so playful, I wouldn’t have fallen into the water.” Gu Xiu Yuan’s face was a little pale, and he was still panting when he spoke, showing that he hadn’t recovered so quickly. Ye Qingtao grabbed his wrist and helped him up, and at the same time, she felt his pulse. Gu Xiu Yuan’s pulse was a little slow and not very regular.

 This child, at such a young age, already had symptoms of overwork. He must have had some underlying condition before he was found, and it hadn’t been discovered all these years. If he hadn’t fallen into the water this time, the cause of the illness wouldn’t have been obvious, and Ye Qingtao wouldn’t have been able to see it so easily.
