Jin Xiangbei was surprised.
"No?"
Eleven shook her head: "Itās not his. You donāt need to know the specifics. Also, Jiujiu was an accident, nobody knows about it. Please donāt spread it around."
"Nobody knows...? Do you mean, including Gu Liancheng?"
After she nodded, Jin Xiangbei was even more stunned. "Whatās going on?"
"Donāt ask. I know what Iām doing. Your lips are chapped, havenāt you been drinking water?"
"I donāt feel like it."
He was still the same, unwilling to drink water even when he was sick.
Gu Liancheng wasnāt wrong in guessing. During their courtship, he would refuse to drink water just to make her come up with ways to get him to drink. It had become a small joy between them.
But Eleven had never fed him in the way she just did, she never thought of it before.
Just after pouring a cup of water for Jin Xiangbei, Su Bai called her.
"Then Iāll go."
"Heās also there?" Eleven wasnāt supposed to be here, it seemed like she wasnāt injured or sick.
"Yes, he had a car accident."
"Alright."
He watched her leave the hospital room, looked down at the cup of water in his hand, and took a sip.
This was probably the last time she would pour water for him in her life.
The distance between them had grown so deep that they couldnāt even speak to each other.
Eleven...
...
"Whatās the matter? Why are you calling me back in such a rush?"
"Miss Fang, could you please take care of Mr. Gu?" Su Bai pleaded desperately, "You do not know, after you left the ward, he has been nitpicking with me. I canāt do anything right in his eyes, he even suggested sending me for plastic surgery, is my face really that bad?"
"Well, not really..."
Speaking truthfully, even though the Su brothers were not as breathtakingly handsome as Gu Liancheng, they werenāt to the point where their faces sparked anger, right?
"Heās just in a bad mood! Leave him to me, you go get some rest. Iāll stay with him tonight."
"I canāt thank you enough!!"
Su Bai fled without looking back.
As soon as Eleven entered, Gu Liancheng greeted her with a grumpy voice, "Where have you been?"
"I stepped out for a bit."
"You just abandon a patient who just returned from the brink of death?"
"Didnāt the doctor say youāre fine? No broken arm, no broken leg. Considering the mortality rate for car accidents, Fourth Master, you really got off lightly."
Talking back to him?
He realised that after their divorce, she became a headstrong and wayward figure.
"Did you go to meet your lover?"
"Does a past lover count?" Eleven decided honesty was the best policy.
Lying to Gu Liancheng, if discovered, will only make him angry.
"Jin Xiangbei?"
"He got alcohol poisoning from drinking too much yesterday," Eleven thought for a moment and said, "Next time, donāt physically assault people. He didnāt report you, otherwise..."
"Are you worried about me?"
"No way! I just donāt want to have to go to the police station with you guys."
Gu Liancheng narrowed his eyes: "What were you doing?"
"What could we do? Heās a married man now, should I still cling to him? We just chatted. I just poured him a glass of water, and then Big White called me. Did you take your anger out on Big White again? Heās so pitiful."
He didnāt hear anything else; he only heard one sentence: "What did you say? You poured him some water? You again..."
That kind of feeding method?!
Eleven was embarrassed, "No! I just casually poured it and handed it to him."
