"Ningning." Le Zhengsheng suddenly called out to Gu Xiaoning.

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning turned her head. In the dim light, her eyes appeared even darker, reflecting a bit of jumping glimmers.

Le Zhengsheng only revealed his head, "The treatment is over, and I’ll be rather bored. Here, you’re my only friend. Can I make a date with you if you have time?"

Gu Xiaoning smiled and nodded, "Okay."

...

The agreement with Gu Xiaoning ended up not being fulfilled.

The one who failed to show up was Gu Xiaoning.

Le Zhengsheng had initially thought that upon waking up the next day, he would see Gu Xiaoning.

However, it was another nurse who came to take care of him.

"What shift is Nurse Gu on today?" Le Zhengsheng asked the nurse.

The nurse laughed, "Missing Xiao Gu, huh? Hehe, Ningning is so charming... Most of our patients would ask about her if they don’t see her."

For some reason, Le Zhengsheng’s cheeks felt a bit warm. Missing Gu Xiaoning? Probably not! He’s just... really bored. Xiao Mantou has school during the day and doesn’t have time to keep him company.

The nurse continued, "Ningning has taken a few days off, seems like there’s something going on at home."

Something at home? Le Zhengsheng frowned and immediately thought of Gu Xiaoning’s father... Could it be that her father came to cause trouble again?

The nurse packed up and left. "Get some good rest during this period, pay attention to nutrition, so the next phase can go smoothly... Call me if you need anything!"

"Okay, thank you."

Le Zhengsheng nodded distractedly... Gu Xiaoning, what’s happening at home?

The morning passed in a daze in the hospital room, and Le Zhengsheng couldn’t help but go to the nurses’ station. He asked the head nurse for Gu Xiaoning’s phone number and home address.

"Thank you, head nurse." Le Zhengsheng expressed his gratitude and turned to leave.

The small nurses immediately gathered around, gossiping.

"Hey! Inquiring about Ningning? Is he interested in Ningning?"

"He’s quite good, heard he’s a scion of a Z Country noble family, good-looking, but his body..."

"Wouldn’t it be great if he got better? If he really fancies Ningning, it would be Ningning’s fortune!"

The head nurse shouted, "Get to work! Stop dreaming about Cinderella stories. Even if he fancies someone, it’s Ningning, what’s it got to do with you? Wake up!"

The small nurses stuck out their tongues and scattered.

Upon leaving the hospital, Le Zhengsheng originally thought of calling Gu Xiaoning first, but considering he had nothing else to do, he decided to follow the address and went to Gu Xiaoning’s home.

Upon arriving at the location, he was dumbfounded.

He had initially guessed that Gu Xiaoning’s circumstances wouldn’t be so good, but seeing the shabby dwellings in front of him, all that came to mind were three words... slum!

Le Zhengsheng furrowed his brow, unsure of exactly what he felt. Could people really live in such a place?

As he walked forward, Le Zhengsheng fixated on the house numbers. The further he went, the more crowded and narrow it became, with not even a clean spot underfoot.

Finally, he arrived.

With a clatter, the courtyard gate opened, and a basin of water was thrown out.

Le Zhengsheng reacted swiftly and narrowly dodged it.

The person inside suddenly realized and smiled apologetically, "Sorry about that!"

Le Zhengsheng looked over, meeting her gaze.

"It’s you!"

"You..."

Gu Xiaoning was standing in the yard, dressed in a short-sleeved T-shirt and loose shorts, her long hair casually tied into a bun on top of her head. She grinned, showing a neat and charming row of teeth under the sun, "Asheng, what brings you here?"

Le Zhengsheng, wearing a mask, frowned displeasedly, "You better explain clearly what that water you just splashed was used for!"

"Hahaha!"

Gu Xiaoning laughed heartily, "Cleaning the spittoon!"

Spittoon? Le Zhengsheng was puzzled, "What’s that?"

"Hmm..." Gu Xiaoning paused, slapping her thigh and laughing, "You’re such a noble son, don’t even know what ordinary people use at night to pee? It’s used at night to hold pee!"

"What?" Le Zhengsheng’s round almond eyes widened, his hair standing on end, "Gu Xiaoning! That’s filthy!"

"Haha..." Gu Xiaoning couldn’t stop laughing, "No, I’m just teasing you! It’s water for washing the sheets... you’re so gullible."

As she spoke, she beckoned Le Zhengsheng, "Come in! Lord Le Zheng, though we’re poor here, we do have flush toilets."

Le Zhengsheng was still annoyed, annoyed at being fooled by such a little miss.

"Come on!" Gu Xiaoning shrugged her neck, "Don’t be mad, you came to see me, I’ll cook something delicious for you later. Come sit inside!"

Le Zhengsheng glanced sideways and followed her in.

The inside of the house was so cramped.

"Ugh!"

Le Zhengsheng bumped his head at the doorway and frowned, covering it with his hand.

"What happened?" Gu Xiaoning glanced back at him and laughed again, "Haha... How tall are you? Are you one meter ninety?"

Le Zhengsheng, not pleased, his tone stiff, "Just two centimeters short! You find this funny?"

"Hehe." Gu Xiaoning covered her mouth, "Promise I won’t laugh... Do you know the saying, young master, about people looking like a door plank? You are that kind of person!"

"Hmm?"

Le Zhengsheng curled his lips, raised his hand and put it on Gu Xiaoning’s head, "And you are called short to death!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned.

They stood face to face, Le Zhengsheng towering over Gu Xiaoning, making her look truly petite and delicate in front of him. His hand rested softly on her head...

In an instant, the air fell silent.

In the atmosphere, something different began to brew.

Gu Xiaoning’s cheeks flushed slightly; this... could it be that legendary ’head pat’?

"..." Le Zhengsheng also sensed the anomaly and quickly withdrew his hand. What was he doing?

At that moment, Le Zhengsheng suddenly remembered Yu Sangwan.

Many years ago, in Donghua.

He picked up her wallet, held it high without returning it.

Yu Sangwan, jumping to grab it, "Give it back to me!"

What did Le Zhengsheng say then? "Come and take it! Why are you so short? Short to death!"

"Cough, cough." Le Zhengsheng lightly coughed twice, breaking the silence.

Gu Xiaoning twitched her mouth, and before she spoke, there was a clang inside!

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning was taken aback, hastily turning around and running inside.

Le Zhengsheng followed in confusion behind her.

In the small room inside, Gu Xiaoning held a boy, sitting on the ground, anxiously asking, "Xiao Zheng, did you get hurt anywhere? Let sister see!"

Xiao Zheng sat in his sister’s arms, his eyes staring directly at a direction, but without any reaction.

Autism... Le Zhengsheng frowned, his gaze towards Gu Xiaoning growing increasingly complex.

"Xiao Zheng, sister told you not to climb high, why didn’t you listen?" Gu Xiaoning’s eyes reddened, "Sister can’t watch over you 24 hours a day! Xiao Zheng, you... make sister very sad." Xiao Zheng bent down, picked up the Rubik’s cube on the ground... still ignored his sister.

"Sigh." Gu Xiaoning sighed, went to straighten the chair.

She looked up at Le Zhengsheng, "Xiao Zheng, my brother... as I’ve told you."

"Hmm." Le Zhengsheng nodded, "You’re taking leave because of him? What about your mother?"

"My mom has to work too." Gu Xiaoning tugged at her mouth, "I’m alone, that job, Xiao Zheng still needs treatment, it’s not enough. I’m taking leave to take my brother to see the doctor, have an appointment in the afternoon, this doctor is hard to book."
