Chapter 463: Only Panic because of Gu Dai

Su Ting mentioned, “When I went home to fetch some food earlier, I bumped into grandma. I told her it was for me, but she seemed not quite convinced.”
Gu Dai frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, “It’s okay. Even if grandma didn’t believe you, she probably can’t guess it’s for me.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang with an incoming call from Xu Huan.
Gu Dai mentally prepared her response, but before she could speak, Xu Huan asked, “Daidai, did something happen to you?”
After saying this, Xu Huan immediately added, “If you’re hiding something from me, then my previous promise is null and void. I’ll also hide my injuries from you in the future and not tell you.”
Gu Dai sighed softly and admitted in a low voice, “Grandma, I did have a bit of an accident, but I’ve checked myself already, and the injuries aren’t serious. I should be able to leave the hospital and return home in a couple of days.”
Xu Huan’s brow furrowed with concern. “How did it happen?”
Gu Dai responded, “I’m not sure yet, I’m still investigating.”
A figure flashed through Xu Huan’s mind, but she immediately shook her head, dismissing the thought as impossible.
She sighed, “I’ve fractured my bone and can’t take care of you now.”
Gu Dai replied with a gentle smile, “Grandma, you just rest well and don’t worry about me. Su Ting is here taking care of me, I’ll be fine.”
Xu Huan felt reassured. “Then, I’ll prepare some of your favorite dishes at home every day to ensure you get proper nutrition and recover quickly.”
Gu Dai agreed, and they continued their conversation for a while. Before hanging up, Gu Dai curiously asked, “Grandma, how did you know I was injured?”
Xu Huan huffed, “A few hours ago, my right eyelid kept twitching, a bad omen.
I immediately guessed something was wrong.”
Gu Dai helplessly replied, “Grandma, you can’t be so superstitious. Maybe it’s just a normal bodily reaction?”
Xu Huan countered, “You have a point, but this time it wasn’t a normal reaction.”
Gu Dai suddenly found it particularly reasonable, then she curiously inquired, “Grandma, why were you so sure it was me who was in trouble?”
Xu Huan didn’t answer immediately. After a long pause, she asked softly, “Is Su Ting with you?”
Confused as to why Xu Huan would ask that, Gu Dai honestly answered, “Yes, he is.”
Su Ting, surprised, lowered his head in self-blame, saying, “Sis, it must have been my carelessness that gave it away. I’m sorry.”
Gu Dai comfortingly patted Su Ting’s arm. “It’s okay.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How did you give it away?”
Su Ting looked at Gu Dai blankly, then shook his head, “I don’t know either.”
On the other end of the line, Xu Huan laughed, “This child, Su Ting, was in such a hurry at the time.”
Gu Dai replied, “Grandma, I think that’s not a valid reason. Maybe he was just busy with his own things.”
Xu Huan held a different view, “Su Ting is always steady in his actions. Nothing could make him panic like that, unless it involved you.”
Gu Dai was taken aback, not immediately grasping the meaning, and even choked on her own saliva.
Su Ting quickly patted her back, asking anxiously, “Sis, are you okay?”
Gu Dai reassured, “I’m fine.”
Xu Huan couldn’t help but interject, “Even though I can’t see you, I bet Su Ting’s anxious behavior right now is exactly the same as when I saw him earlier.”
Su Ting’s ears tinged red.
Gu Dai coughed lightly and quickly said, “Grandma, I want to rest for a while now, I’ll call and talk to you later.”
Knowing young people tend to be shy, Xu Huan agreed with a laugh, “Okay.”
After the call ended, the hospital room fell silent, filled only with the sound of their gentle breathing.
Both of them couldn’t help but want to glance at each other, yet neither had the courage to do so.
When Song Ling pushed open the door of the hospital room, he instantly sensed the subtle atmosphere inside. Seeing that Gu Dai was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes darkened with anger.
He asked Gu Dai sharply, “What are you doing?”
Gu Dai, seeing Song Ling, couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I’m not doing anything, and even if I did, what does it have to do with you?”
Realizing he had no right to interfere, Song Ling’s expression turned even grimmer.
Su Ting looked at Song Ling and asked indifferently, “What are you doing here?”
Song Ling snorted, “I came to the hospital to visit someone and just happened to pass by this room, so I thought I’d check in.”
Gu Dai nodded, “I’m fine, you can go now.”
But Song Ling didn’t leave. Instead, he stepped further into the room. “I’m not too busy these days, I can spare some time to visit you..”
