"Zuo doesn't easily shed blood; you're an exception. Come on, tell Uncle, how did you manage to talk with him?"
Su Huai was momentarily at a loss whether to cry or laugh.
Jeez, fooling Zuo Zongcai into showing up makes you this happy? What breed of dog are you?
"Cough cough!"
Su Huai coughed lightly, glancing sideways: "Shouldn't we go see Gu Jiuyue first?"
That meant 'now's not a good time, we'll talk when I'm free.'
Gu Tongshu got the hint and signaled to Andy, "Please invite Yueyue down. Let her spend some time with her classmates."
It wasn't long before Miss Gu was helped downstairs.
She wasn't so ill that she needed a wheelchair but still looked quite weak... With her hand over her mouth and moving slowly, she resembled Lin Daiyu.
"Ah! Yueyue, your complexion is so pale!"
"Are you okay?"
"Come here, sit down and let me take a look at you!"
The girls immediately gathered around, watching her settle down on a sun lounger, then forming a circle and chattering away.
