Chapter 312 - Bossy Grandpa (1/2)
”How are you feeling now?” Yu Mei stepped inside the hospital after finishing her call with Jun Zixuan. She informed him about it beforehand lest he heard it from somewhere else and started worrying.
The old man tilted his head to look at her, his expressions did not reveal much of what he was thinking.
Yu Mei came to stand beside his bed as she looked at the disheveled man. Although the mud on him was cleaned, his white hair was in a mess and his eyes had heavy bags underneath, ”The doctor said that your blood sugar levels have dropped. That's why you fainted in front of my car. I have bought the prescribed medicines for you,” She pointed her palm towards the bedside table.
The old man nodded as he averted his gaze.
The corner of her lips twitched. Was she that displeasing to look at? She sighed, ”You should stay at the hospital until you feel completely fine. I will get going if there is nothing else-”
”Peel an apple,” The old man interrupted her as he spoke in a hoarse voice.
Her lips parted slightly as she pointed her finger at herself, ”Me?”
”Is there someone else here?” He asked coldly.
She blinked, ”Alright, I will do it,” She picked up an apple from the fruit basket before sitting on the hospital chair. Since he was a patient, she would let him have the honor of eating an apple peeled by her precious hands.
While peeling it, she did not realize when most of the apple got peeled only leaving a hollow structure towards the middle.
She glanced at the old man who was looking at the apple in her hand in focus.
”Let's have another try,” She smiled awkwardly as she picked up another apple but it also got over peeled.
At this point, she placed more focus on this, feeling a bit embarrassed. It was once in a blue moon kind of thing that a weak old man asked her to give him a peeled apple, she felt ashamed for not being able to do it.
Even Yu Jinhai peeled better apples than her.
Fifteen minutes later, all the apples in her hand were rolling on the floor like someone had molested them and torn off their red peels and body flesh.
”I will get a batch of new apples and ask the staff to do it for you,” She smiled. As ashamed as she was, she was not good at this and the old man seems to be very hungry.
”I don't mind grapes,” The old man spoke sternly as he stroked his thick beard, ”Peel them by yourself.”
Her eyelids twitched. What is up with this overbearingness? Letting out a sigh in her heart, she picked up the grapes and grabbed a plate from a table before diligently trying to peel them.
But unlike the apple which was reduced to seeds, the grapes refused to be peeled by her.
She missed Steward Gu at this point. That kind man always peeled grapes for her since the day she was reborn.
