Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 293 Faint Green Light

Gu Juncheng didn't go forward again. He stood behind the streetlight and watched the car drive away. Of course, no one in the car saw him.

He didn't emerge from behind the streetlight until the car was completely out of sight, and then he walked home.

At home, Zhiyuan and Xiaomai held hands, accompanied by Sister Zhao, as they prepared to go to school.

"Dad Gu".

"uncle."

The two little ones called him.

He nodded and handed something to Zhiyuan, saying, "For your mother."

"Oh, okay." Zhiyuan put it away, then looked up and asked him, "Why didn't you give it to her yourself? She went to the hospital to have her cast removed."

"Yeah, I know. I'm going back to school too. From now on, I might not have many opportunities to come out." Gu Juncheng patted Zhiyuan's head. "Study hard and be a good son to your mother."

Zhiyuan watched his back as he walked towards the bus stop in the morning sunlight, feeling a deep sadness in his heart. He was still young and didn't know how to describe this sadness. He just clenched the things in his hands and let out a sigh that was beyond his years.

Lin Qingping's cast was removed smoothly, but the doctor still advised her to avoid strenuous exercise for the time being and to be careful during daily activities, and to try to recover gradually.

Once the cast was removed, Lin Qingping felt much more relaxed. Under the doctor's guidance, she tried to move her hands and feet. She found that her hands were fine and there were basically no problems, but her feet were not as normal as usual. However, the doctor said it was okay and that she would recover gradually. He told her not to be afraid to move because of this, but to move slowly as possible, which would be beneficial for her recovery.

Lin Qingping understood this principle, and she was also eager to go back to school. Although going to school after being reborn was just an experience for her, a way to make up for the regrets she had in her previous life, she couldn't afford to fail any courses.

To celebrate Lin Qingping's recovery, Gu Youlian and Liang Jiaqi both insisted on preparing a big meal that evening, even more sumptuous than the Lunar New Year!

Lin Qingping hadn't felt this way in a long time, and readily agreed.

Who knew that Wu Tianjiao also learned that Lin Qingping's cast was being removed today? It all started when a clerk from the Capital Department Store branch came to pick up materials. She learned about it from Sister Zhao and then passed it on to Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Tianjiao, of course, also wanted to participate!

However, Wu Tianjiao had many meetings today, and it was already dark when she went to find Lin Qingping. She hurriedly made a phone call home and rushed over to Lin Qingping's place.

They held this big meal at Liang Jiaqi's restaurant, which was convenient, as all the ingredients were readily available.

When Wu Tianjiao arrived, the meal had already started.

At that time, Lin Qingping was seated with Zhiyuan on one side and Liang Jiaqi on the other. On Liang Jiaqi's other side was Sister Zhao, and then Gu Youlian and Xiaomai.

Lin Qingping was surprised to see her and instinctively stood up to greet her. However, she overlooked the fact that her feet, which had just regained their freedom and were not yet used to walking, lost their balance and fell to one side.

Liang Jiaqi quickly supported her, and just then, two more people appeared at the store entrance: Wu Tianping and Gu Juncheng.

This scene was witnessed by Wu Tianping and Gu Juncheng.

Wu Tianjiao quickly stepped forward and supported Lin Qingping on the other side, saying to her, "Why are you being so polite with us? Do you expect me to greet you? Sit down properly."

Liang Jiaqi finally let go of her hand. Wu Tianjiao took a chair for herself, and Liang Jiaqi gave her his seat. Wu Tianjiao then sat down next to Lin Qingping.

"Sister!" Wu Tianping greeted loudly.

Wu Tianjiao turned around and smiled, "What a coincidence, you two also arrived at this time."

Wu Tianping chuckled and pulled Gu Juncheng along, "I came as soon as I got your call. Hey, sis, could you move over and give me a seat?"

"You really are something." Wu Tianjiao glared at her younger brother and moved two seats away.

Therefore, Gu Juncheng was forced to stand next to Lin Qingping by Wu Tianping.

Lin Qingping smelled a faint scent of alcohol.

They didn't serve alcohol at today's feast; the smell of alcohol was coming from Gu Juncheng, who was standing next to them.

Liang Jiaqi got up to get them bowls and chopsticks, and even brought out a bottle of wine for their arrival. She smiled and said, "Today is my treat to celebrate Sister Pingzi's recovery. Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in our hospitality!"

After saying that, he poured wine for the two of them. When he was about to pour wine for Wu Tianjiao, she waved her hand to indicate that she did not want it.

Liang Jiaqi filled her own cup and gave Lin Qingping a cup, but it was filled with tea. She then said to the Wu siblings and Gu Juncheng, "Sister Pingzi has just recovered and is not suitable for drinking alcohol, so she will drink tea."

These words sounded strange. Wu Tianping frowned slightly. It sounded as if the college student and Gu Juncheng's wife had become the masters of the house.

Liang Jiaqi's subsequent actions made him even more convinced that he was not mistaken.

Liang Jiaqi raised his glass. "Today is to celebrate Sister Pingzi's recovery, Sister Pingzi, how about we all raise a toast to everyone?"

Wu Tianping was a straightforward person who didn't mince words, so he immediately asked clearly, "No, sir... Liang, why were you and Comrade Lin toasting together?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Jiaqi scratched his head and laughed, "Well... wasn't it because I was planning to host? And the main character is Sister Pingzi!"

Wu Tianping felt that it was wrong for you to be the host. Why was it your turn to host this meal today?

He glanced at Gu Juncheng beside him, only to see him pick up his wine glass, raise it into the air, and drink it all in one gulp.

Wu Tianping:? ? ? ?

Wu Tianping looked at Gu Juncheng and inexplicably felt that his brother was faintly glowing green.

Besides, is this guy addicted to drinking?

I should have known better than to have him drink a few glasses at home!

He really wanted to shake his brother: Wake up!

Gu Juncheng is acting strangely!

Wu Tianping was acutely aware of this.

He had actually sensed something was off about Gu Juncheng a long time ago, but he thought it was just a quarrel between husband and wife. For example, he and Mei Li sometimes had disagreements, but how could a couple hold a grudge overnight? When Mei Li was angry, he would coax her a little, and they would make up quickly. So, when his sister said she wouldn't be going home that night and was going to have dinner at Lin Qingping's place, he immediately dragged Gu Juncheng over. Gu Juncheng didn't even know who he was having dinner with before he arrived...

He also planned to mediate between the two to help them reconcile quickly, because Gu Juncheng was about to return to school and rejoin the army, making it less likely for the couple to see each other.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

But Wu Tianping will not give up.

Anyway, everyone had eaten most of the food, so he was going to start playing games.

The game is simple and straightforward: it's like passing a flower while beating a drum.

Of course, it wasn't a typical game of musical chairs where the person who got the parcel had to perform a talent as punishment. Instead, it involved drawing lots, and whoever drew the lot had to answer questions on a piece of paper or do something according to the instructions on the paper.
