“No need to thank me.”
Both Xie Luan and Bai Changle left a great impression on Gu Yan.
Even so, she couldn’t reveal her identity now…
She wasn’t even certain whether she was ever going to disclose it…
Currently, all she could feel was the urge to get to know the other two people better.
Bai Changle immediately said, “It is a matter of saving somebody’s life. I must still thank you deeply. But the New Year is fast approaching. The temperature is downright freezing. I don’t want my mother to go out. Gu Yan, how about this? After the New Year and when the weather becomes warmer, I’ll come with my mom to visit you one day and thank you properly. If you need help with anything else, just tell me. Don’t be shy to ask!”
Previously, Bai Changle looked after Gu Yan as a favor to Lu Ye. Now, he was practically doing the same thing, only that his reason for doing so changed.
He should diligently look after her in return for saving his mother.
Gu Yan nodded. “Alright, but what condition does your mother have? Is she getting better?”
In her mind, the question sounded typical and normal. Nevertheless, she was still worried that Bai Changle might find it suspicious. Hence, she quickly added, “Her complexion appeared to be severely bad that day. I called out to her many times, but she didn’t react.”
“My mom’s health hasn’t been great since she was a child. When she was in her teenage years, she got injured heavily and lost her memories. Sigh…” Bai Changle felt sad upon mentioning the condition of his mother.
But then, he soon realized he was revealing his deep-seated emotions in front of Gu Yan. He immediately adjusted his mood and continued, “But she’s doing much better now. That day, she took a whole body check-up. The doctor said she had recovered a lot. My mom even said you are her lucky charm.”
Gu Yan felt assured hearing that Xie Luan was feeling much better.
Nevertheless, when she heard Xie Luan considered her a lucky charm… a trace of bitterness settled in her heart.
At this moment, Bai Changle felt it was really getting late. It wasn’t good for him to stay longer, so he said, “Get some rest. I won’t disturb you anymore. By the way, if you’re really staying here alone for the New Year, I’ll bring some food during the New Year’s Eve.”
“No need, Guo Rou and the others mentioned they will bring back some dishes.”
“Oh, that works.” Bai Changle nodded.
Gu Yan said, “Captain Bai, I don’t want others in your family to know about this… about how I saved your mother. Of course, you can tell your mom, but it is crucial to prevent Bai Weiyang from discovering it.”
Bai Changle felt taken aback, but he still nodded. “I know you don’t like my sister. Lu Ye mentioned this before too. Don’t worry, I will only tell my mother.”
Gu Yan nodded.
Bai Changle left, and she closed the door. Gu Yan went back to her little bathroom and sat on the stool to continue washing the blankets.
She scrubbed.
“Mom… Brother…” she murmured these words as tears welled up in her eyes.
There wasn’t only sourness in her heart. At the very least, she felt some warmth too.
Gu Yan couldn’t describe it, but with the current development of things, she felt such feelings weren’t bad.
Gu Yan actually lied to Bai Changle just then. She didn’t ask Guo Rou and the others to bring anything over during the New Year.
Compared to the hardship she went through in her past life, spending the holiday alone was nothing.
Just like that, Gu Yan stayed in Lu Ye’s room.
Those soldiers who didn’t go back for the New Year all heard about Captain Lu’s girlfriend staying in the dormitory. They all went to take a sneak peek.
