Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Yun Liuli, who suddenly returned to seven years old all over again, stared at Gu Qingcheng with her clear eyes. When their eyes met, Gu Qingcheng, who was usually calm and steady, had no idea what to say, only feeling terribly worried.

“Uncle, do you stay in this ward too?” Yun Liuli asked Gu Qingcheng as if the Gu Qingcheng standing right before her was a mere stranger, an… uncle who was a stranger to her.

Gu Qingcheng, who had been standing at the foot of the bed looking at Yun Liuli, pursed his lips and replied, “I’m your father’s friend…”

“How do you do, Uncle!” Yun Liuli obediently greeted him, then asked in a soft voice, “Uncle, where’s my daddy? My arms hurt so much, I miss Daddy…”

Once, when Yun Shoushan suddenly departed from this world, what Gu Qingcheng found most difficult… was telling Yun Liuli that her father was no longer alive, that he would become her guardian from then onwards.

Back then, because he was already facing a grown kid who was sensible, Gu Qingcheng said it as it was…

Despite that, Gu Qingcheng’s heart was all jumbled up. When he heard the child crying in the house, he could only walk out of the house and smoke at the door.

It was because of him that Yun Shoushan passed away. Even… after Yun Shoushan passed away, he couldn’t reveal his true identity, fearing that some furious enemies would vent their anger on Yun Liuli.

After he died, he only received a medal, and Gu Qingcheng had kept it for Yun Shoushan…

But facing a seven-year-old girl, Gu Qingcheng truly had no idea how to break the news to her.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng remain silent, Yun Liuli called out softly again. “Uncle?”

Gu Qingcheng returned to his senses. After a moment, he said, “Your dad went to a faraway place overseas to work. He asked me to take care of you on his behalf…”

Yun Liuli was very obedient. She merely nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that Yun Liuli’s lips had turned so dry they were chapped, Gu Qingcheng walked to the side of the bed and sat down, then used a cotton ball to help Yun Liuli wet her lips.

Yun Liuli’s black and bright eyes were as innocent as Tuan Tuan’s, staring at Gu Qingcheng without blinking.

Gu Qingcheng’s actions were very gentle, fearing he might touch the bloodied dry spots on her lips, thus hurting Yun Liuli…

Gu Qingcheng looked up again. Seeing the delicate young lady’s eyes redden, he asked, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”

Yun Liuli nodded gently. “My head hurts, my arms too. Uncle… I miss Daddy so much, can you let me speak to Daddy over the phone? Usually, when I get injured, Daddy will blow on the injured spot for me… When he blows on it, it doesn’t hurt anymore!”

The young lady’s voice sounded a little choked and childish. Her misty eyes stared at Gu Qingcheng aggrievedly. Even if someone had an iron heart, it would be melted by the young lady’s gaze! Much less… Gu Qingcheng, who was concerned about Yun Liuli’s injuries to begin with.

There was a gentleness in his gaze as he stared at Yun Liuli. He gently stroked the young lady’s black hair, which had been cut short, then bent over and moved his thin lips closer to Yun Liuli’s temple. He gently blew upon it, his voice carrying an unprecedented gentleness as he asked, “Does it still hurt?”

The delicate young lady nodded. “My arms still hurt…”

Gu Qingcheng then lowered his head and blew upon Yun Liuli’s arms. “Still hurt?”

The young lady’s eyes were still a little teary. She feigned toughness and revealed a smile at Gu Qingcheng. “Just hurts a little now, thank you, Uncle.”

Gu Qingcheng wasn’t a three-year-old kid, so how would he believe that one blow upon the wound would make it not hurt anymore…

Perhaps because her father and stepmother were always absent from her side, the seven-year-old Yun Liuli was more sensible than other kids her age.

Gu Qingcheng sighed. Seven years old…

How would he interact with a seven-year-old child!

Lin Nuan quickly learned about Yun Liuli’s accident. Early the next morning, Lin Nuan arrived at the hospital.

The young lady stared at Lin Nuan on the bed, looking ignorant like a little child. She looked so obedient.

Bai Jinyu came over and performed a simple checkup, then Lin Nuan and Bai Jinyu went out of the ward to talk…

“Does she not have any memories of her life after seven years old?” Lin Nuan couldn’t conceal the astonishment in her tone. She felt like she was watching a TV drama.

Bai Jinyu nodded. “Actually, according to logic, her bump wasn’t severe enough to have such serious repercussions!”

Lin Nuan’s brows furrowed even harder.

“But how to put it? It’s a vast world, and there are plenty of wondrous stories out there. There was an instance of someone who lost his memory after suffering a fall!” Bai Jinyu sighed. “I have discussed it with colleagues in my department and Jincheng’s Furen Hospital. This situation might have arisen because of the blood clot inside Xiao Liuli’s skull. That, or perhaps it’s a side effect from the blow! It’s not so bad if it’s the former, as after the blood clot dissipates, she’ll naturally recover. If it’s the latter…”

“What happens if it’s the latter?” Lin Nuan asked anxiously.

“If it’s the latter, we estimate it will result in one of these three circumstances. One… Xiao Liuli’s condition will worsen, and her memory will go even further back! Two… her memory and her intellect will remain at seven years old! Three, she recovers over time. But because I’m so close with Old Gu, I didn’t hide the fact that the third possibility isn’t likely!”

Lin Nuan paused.

Bai Jinyu had told this to Gu Qingcheng. After Gu Qingcheng heard this, he was quiet for a long while, ultimately saying nothing. He merely returned to the ward to accompany Yun Liuli.

She had survived the accident, and what was most important to Gu Qingcheng was that Yun Liuli was still alive.

If Yun Liuli’s memory were to deteriorate further, then Gu Qingcheng would take care of her for the rest of her life!

If Yun Liuli’s intellect and memory remained at seven years old, he would accompany her while she continued to act like a seven-year-old!

Bai Jinyu placed both hands into his white coat and said, “I think Old Gu must be really remorseful now. If he hadn’t asked Xiao Liuli to return to the Cloud Top Condominium that night, she wouldn’t have gotten into an accident!”

Lin Nuan nodded. Actually, she could tell…

When Lin Nuan arrived in the morning, Gu Qingcheng was standing outside the ward, delegating work. He seemed to have plans to set aside all work to accompany Yun Liuli.

Yun Liuli had stayed at the Fu residence for a period of time and was on excellent terms with Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan really regarded Yun Liuli as her younger sister, so when she came, she had wanted to tell Gu Qingcheng that she planned to trouble Auntie Li to take care of Yun Liuli, that when Yun Liuli was discharged, she could stay at the Fu residence. This would be better since Gu Qingcheng might be too busy with work and not have time to look after Yun Liuli.

However, Gu Qingcheng didn’t agree. Without even considering it, he said he planned to take care of Yun Liuli himself.

When Lin Nuan entered the ward, she took a look at the pale and frail Yun Liuli, then said while holding a thermos, “I’ll go get some hot water. Dr. Bai said that you can’t eat for the time being, but if there’s something you particularly wish to eat, you can try to eat a little. If you don’t vomit, you can eat a little more. Is there anything you’re craving?”

Yun Liuli thought hard and then said, “Sago glutinous rice balls!”
