Chapter 653: Is 653 particularly couple-like (2)_1?
Eleven told the doctor in fear to prescribe whatever was necessary, and not to hold back in order to cure him.
Gu Liancheng simply laughed at her, saying, "What kind of ailnt could possibly co from such a fall?"
After an IV drip, they made a trip to a traditional Chinese dicine physician that Eleven knew. In the past, when she volunteered at the nursing ho, she often took so elderly folks there for treatnt. They preferred traditional Chinese dicine to Western one.
After examining, the old physician said it wasn’t serious, then he turned his attention to chit-chat, kindly looking at Eleven and joking, "You used to bring people in their sixties, seventies, and eighties, so why the young guy this ti?"
Eleven had ntioned to Liancheng on the way there how she and the old physician t, but she hadn’t ntioned this.
"Grandpa Zhang, hasn’t she brought anyone else my age before?"
"You really want to know?"
"Grandpa Zhang!" Eleven called him out.
"Truth."
Eleven couldn’t stop him and the old physician laughingly said, "You’re the only one."
So, Liancheng also laughed.
At this mont, he enjoyed being the first in everything. Hearing this news, he inexplicably felt good.
He wanted to be not only now but also in the future. Everything about her, he wanted to be the first, or rather the only one.
"Well, I was just curious, they must not be just ordinary friends."
"You can even see that?" Liancheng laughed and jokingly asked, "Do we really look like a married couple, therefore you recognized us directly?"
"Yes, yes," the old physician joined in saying, one complint after another, "exactly like the couples who grow old together."
Eleven had known the old physician for seven or eight years. He was affable and easy to talk to; there was no pressure at all.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang!" Liancheng reacted happily.
Had he not gotten injured, Eleven would’ve punched him already. But rembering how Liancheng got hurt for Jiujiu and herself, she couldn’t bear to hurt him, so she let him play around with the words.
Eleven went to get ice as instructed by the old physician. In the anti the doctor and Liancheng chatted.
"This child, Eleven, is extrely good!" said the old physician, full of praise for Eleven, "But also pitiful, growing up in an orphanage with barely any close friends. Yet, she’s kind-hearted, often does volunteer work and helps the people in need."
"Right. She is indeed very good." When Liancheng spoke these words, there wasn’t a hint of teasing in his facial expression.
For a mont, Eleven was lost in her thoughts.
She returned but upon hearing their conversation chose to hide and didn’t go out.
He used the word "particularly".
When she wasn’t with him, and he didn’t have to flatter her, his praise ant that he truly ant it.
"All along I’ve been hoping she could find a good place to settle down! A few years ago, she stopped coming by as frequently as before, saying she was busy and working part-ti to pay for her studies, hence she didn’t have much ti to help others."
Eleven remained silent.
She had lied.
During the first year, she was pregnant with Jiujiu and Cute. Later, she’d married Liancheng, and to cover up, she’d reduced her volunteering hours, most of her ti being spent with him instead.
"Yes, she’s working really hard," Liancheng didn’t expose her lie, "but she’s about to graduate. When we get married, she’ll have more ti to co over."
Married?
She hadn’t even agreed to be his girlfriend yet, how could he be talking about marriage with others!
Although Eleven thought anxiously, she also found, to her surprise, that she wasn’t angry. Instead... she felt it was natural.
