1326 He Did I (2/2)
Luo Zhanyu paused for a moment. Gu Xijiu could sense his hesitation, and so she became worried. ”Brother, do you have something to tell me? Have his injuries gotten more serious?”
Luo Zhanyu finally made up his mind that he would tell the truth. ”No, his injuries are alright. However, there is another problem.”
”What is it?”
”He has gone missing. I have searched the entire village, but there is no sign of him. I suspect that he had gone into the mountain looking for you. Therefore I wanted to ask the mussel to lead me through the mountain.”
Gu Xijiu looked a little bit pale. She was stunned for a while before she asked, ”How did he know that I have gone into the mountain to collect herbs?”
Luo Zhanyu exclaimed, ”It was because of a bowl of fish soup…” He then told her the story of how Di Fuyi had stolen the fish soup from Baili Ce.
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She rubbed her eyebrows and wondered if Di Fuyi was angry.
She had not intended to avoid him. In fact, she wanted to have a proper conversation with him. However, she thought that it was inappropriate to discuss such matters as he was still severely injured. Therefore, she decided to visit him at a later date. She had planned on speaking to him only after he had recovered.
Perhaps, subconsciously she was trying to avoid discussing their past. She was worried that she would feel hurt again once Di Fuyi had told her the truth.
Therefore, she had asked her brother's help to take care of Di Fuyi in the morning while she went back to her room to sleep. However, it was already in the evening when she woke up. The first thing that came to her mind was to visit Di Fuyi. However, when she passed by Baili Ce's room, she recalled that she left halfway during the operation to heal Baili Ce's arm.
Therefore, she changed her mind and visited Baili Ce first instead. As a result, she realized that his injured arm was swelling and it was getting more severe with every passing minute.
Gu Xijiu felt guilty towards him, so she decided to treat his injured arm.
