Chapter 39: I'm really his friend

"Yeah." Tang yuan rolled in her palm, its snow-white fur tickling her palm.

Ling Jue smiled gently. She still had Tang Yuan in this strange world.

...

When Gu Ziming was going to visit Ling Jue at night, he rubbed his eyes sleepily. "Mom, what time is it?"

He was not as comfortable as Ling Jue last night. He brought the stolen car to the nearest parking lot and disguised himself to escape.

On the way back, he even made a card at the place where he went to work to prove that he had gone to work.

"It's already seven o'clock. What did you do last night? Why did you sleep for so long?! Cough, cough, cough..." A woman's voice came from outside...

Gu Ziming glanced at the dark sky outside and quickly got up. He quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face. "Mom, I'm not going to eat. I'm going to the hospital to visit a friend of mine."

"Your friend is in the hospital?"

"Mmhmm." With his toothbrush in his mouth, he hummed twice.

"Is it a man or a woman?"

"That..." he said hesitantly.

"It's a man. I just made some soup. You can send some to him. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for you to go empty-handed. You haven't been paid yet, so you definitely don't have the money to buy a gift. Here are some steamed dumplings that I made. Take some with you. It's time to eat," she said. Gu Ziming took out a clean bowl and thermos bottle, filled them up, and put them in the basket. "Your friend is definitely not from a rich family. He probably won't look down on our stuff."

Gu Ziming frowned. Thinking of Ling Jue's appearance, his family must be rich.

However, seeing his mother so busy, he felt a little helpless.

She had always felt that he did not have any friends, so she was very enthusiastic about this 'friend' who had suddenly appeared.

"Mom, is little sister still in school?"

"Yes, she said that she will eat at school later. She has an exam tonight."

"An exam in the middle of the night..." Gu Ziming pouted, washed up, and walked out. Then, he took a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. "Mom, I'm leaving."

"Take this with you. You can't go to see your friends empty-handed!" She handed the thing to him. Her face, which was in her forties, looked like it was in her sixties.

His heart ached when he saw how her illness had tortured her into this state.

He hid the bitterness in his heart and took the thing. "Okay."

"Come back soon. Don't wander around in the middle of the night. I heard that those bad guys like to cause trouble on the streets. A few days ago, your Aunt Wang's son was beaten up for no reason."

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, mom. Remember to take your medicine. Don't be reluctant to take it."

"Okay, okay, okay. Go now."

Gu Ziming went out and hailed a cab. He looked at the basket of food. The dumplings his mom made were the best, but she was giving them to that kid.

Humph!

He pursed his lips. That kid was so scary. How could he look down on these things.

"We're here!" After hesitating for a long time, they arrived at the hospital.

He paid the fare and got out of the car. He looked at the food in the basket and smiled bitterly. Should he bring it to that kid or not?

...

Ling Jue was eating the food that was delivered to her when she heard a commotion outside.

It was Qu mo and Gu Ziming.

"I'm sorry, I've never seen you before. You can't go in to see our young master."

"I'm really his friend."

"..."

Ling Jue stood up and opened the door. She looked at Gu Ziming, who was carrying a basket of vegetables, and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Come in."

Gu Ziming snorted and walked into the ward.
