Just a glance was all it took for Gu Xiyue to shift her gaze away.
Gu Huaijin was discussing a preservation method with someone named "Qiqi," and without much thought, Gu Xiyue knew exactly who this Qiqi was.
But after all, it involved someone else’s privacy, so Gu Xiyue didn’t look too closely.
Just as Gu Xiyue diverted her attention, Aunt Chen’s voice came from the kitchen, "Mr. Gu, has the Divine Doctor responded to your message?"
Aunt Chen had also heard that the Divine Doctor had saved Luo Fenghe.
So when Gu Huaijin mentioned asking about a preservation method, it was certainly in reference to the Divine Doctor.
"Let me check." Gu Huaijin replied and looked around before finally picking up the cell phone from the sofa.
There was already an additional message in the chat box.
Aside from five or six unanswered voice calls he had made yesterday afternoon, there was his recent inquiry, "How to preserve the medicine?"
Following that, the young girl had replied with, "It can be refrigerated or sealed in divided doses with medicinal solution bags."
After taking a look at his phone, Gu Huaijin conveyed to Aunt Chen in the kitchen, "She said it can be refrigerated or sealed in divided doses with medicinal solution bags."
"Ah, got it," Aunt Chen replied, then went back to her work.
Hearing Gu Huaijin’s words, Gu Xiyue’s eyes lifted slightly as she gave him a glance, her expression somewhat complex.
"What did you buy to have so much stuff?" Gu Huaijin failed to notice the change in Gu Xiyue’s expression and questioned Yu Luowan instead.
"Just, food, drinks, clothes," Yu Luowan replied, pointing to a few of the courier boxes, "These are not, these I bought online for mooncake molds. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up, and they’re for making mooncakes."
At this, Gu Huaijin appeared somewhat speechless, "Are you planning to settle in here for good?"
"Oh, Sister Feng He hasn’t fully recovered yet, I have to stay here and keep her company," Yu Luowan explained while sitting down to start unpacking the parcels.
Looking at the dozen or so courier boxes, Yu Luowan paused, then looked up at Gu Xiyue who was standing aside, lost in thought, "Yueyue, come on, help me unpack these parcels."
"In a bit," Gu Xiyue dropped this brief reply and stepped away, heading towards the kitchen.
Yu Luowan didn’t mind and just kept herself busy with the parcels.
Gu Xiyue stopped at the kitchen doorway and looked at Aunt Chen, who was dividing up the medicinal solution, "Is this medicine for Sister Feng He?"
Hearing the slightly unfamiliar voice, Aunt Chen turned around and smiled at Gu Xiyue, nodding, "Miss Gu."
Gu Xiyue also nodded at Aunt Chen.
"This is for the young lady. It’s a prescription given by the Divine Doctor. The preparation method is quite complicated; it took me all morning to finish decocting it."
At the mention of this, Gu Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "How complicated?"
Aunt Chen, upon hearing the question, stopped her work and picked up her cellphone, showing it to Gu Xiyue, "Take a look, the heat needs to be adjusted frequently, even the stirring has its specific guidelines and directions."
Gu Xiyue observed the decoction method and procedures on the screen, pausing for a moment.
After a while, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, Gu Xiyue handed the phone back to Aunt Chen, "Thank you."
"Miss Gu, you’re too polite," Aunt Chen took her phone back and resumed dividing up the medicinal solution.
Gu Xiyue leaned against the doorway of the kitchen, not in a hurry to leave.
The preservation method that Gu Huaijin told Aunt Chen was obviously the one Gu Zhiqi had sent him.
One in closed-door cultivation for two years, the other soul-taken for the same duration.
Rumors had it that Nan Zhi and the Gu Family had a deep connection.
Only through Gu Huaijin could one find Gu Zhiqi.
Mulling over these thoughts, Gu Xiyue let out a soundless chuckle, a rare faint smile curving on her usually cold face.
Turns out it’s her, so it was her all along.
