“Drink this.”
Su Ling took the small cup and glanced at it. Inside was a light green liquid that looked a bit viscous.
He blinked, then looked up at his Master.
Gu Qingyuan patted Little Thing’s head.
“Be good, listen to me, drink it quickly.”
When Su Ling heard his Master say that, he opened his mouth and gulped it down. The moment the liquid entered his mouth, his little brows immediately furrowed, and his whole face twisted into a grimace.
“Pfft!”
Seeing Little Thing like that, Gu Qingyuan burst out laughing.
Su Ling pursed his lips and looked at his Master with a tearful expression. That thing was so bitter.
The woman nearby saw this, was silent for a moment, then took out a mint candy from her pocket and handed it over.
“Eat a candy, it’ll take away the bitterness.”
Su Ling’s mouth was too bitter, so without a second thought, he took the candy, tore open the wrapper, and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweetness spread, gradually driving away the bitterness, and his little expression finally relaxed.
Gu Qingyuan watched from the side. Although she knew in her heart that this didn’t mean anything, she didn’t show it immediately. Once that troublesome person left, she would properly punish Little Thing.
Meanwhile, the woman beside them saw Little Thing’s brows relax and felt an inexplicable relief. For some reason, she really didn’t want the little person in front of her to suffer; seeing him in pain always made her feel uncomfortable.
After a moment, she picked up the Medical Patch again and handed it to Gu Qingyuan.
“This Medical Patch should be applied to his neck every night before sleep. Start with this method and observe for a while. If his condition is good, then surgery can be arranged. Also this.”
The woman then took out a glass bottle from beside her. The green liquid inside swayed slightly with her movement.
“This is the medicine you just gave him. From now on, take it three times daily, 30 ml each time, after meals.”
Gu Qingyuan took the two items, glanced at them, then lifted her eyes to look at the other woman.
“Anything else?”
“No, that’s all.”
With that, she began to pack her things.
Seeing the woman packing up, Gu Qingyuan’s lips curled slightly. She was indeed a smart woman.
After the woman left, Gu Qingyuan turned her head to Little Thing and said with a smile, “Little Thing, did you remember everything the doctor said?”
Su Ling looked up, blinking in confusion. ‘Remember? Wasn’t the doctor talking to Master? Why did he have to remember?’
Gu Qingyuan sighed helplessly and repeated the woman’s words once more.
“Do you remember now?”
Su Ling’s expression was still bewildered, but he obediently nodded. He did remember, but he still couldn’t understand why he had to.
“Just remember, that’s enough. I’ll put these two items by the bed. When you need to use them, make sure to take them out yourself, okay?”
Su Ling looked at his Master and nodded. He seemed to understand a little why Master wanted him to remember—it was because Master didn’t want to remember for him… Although he knew this was his own business and he should be the one to remember, he still felt a little disappointed.
‘No, that’s not right.’ As soon as this thought popped into his mind, he panicked and suppressed it. ‘I can’t have such thoughts. Master loves me very, very much. Master has her own affairs; she will be busy, so it’s normal that she can’t take care of me. Besides, such a small matter—I can handle it myself.’
Gu Qingyuan didn’t know about Little Thing’s mental activity. She was just afraid that she would forget. After all, she could remember things for a day or two, but for something long-term like this, she might accidentally forget one day. Having Little Thing remember was also because she was afraid she would forget someday.
However, with Little Thing’s brain, it could only barely serve as insurance. The one who should truly remember was still herself.
“Little Thing, what do you want to eat tonight?”
Su Ling shook his head. He didn’t particularly want anything.
“Nothing you want? Then I’ll just make something simple. First, I’ll apply the Medical Patch for you, then you take a nap. When you wake up, you can eat.”
Su Ling didn’t nod immediately. Instead, he stared at his Master with a puzzled expression. ‘In all that Master said, she wasn’t included. Is Master going somewhere?’
After she spoke, Gu Qingyuan saw that Little Thing was still staring at her. She sighed softly, bent down, and gently patted his head.
“Master has some things to take care of. Be good and stay at home. Wait for me to come back. I’ll return before you wake up.”
Su Ling’s expression immediately fell, but he still nodded. He didn’t want Master to delay her own affairs because of him. If Master needed to be busy, he shouldn’t stop her.
“Good boy. I’ll apply the Medical Patch now. Lie down nicely.”
Su Ling obediently nodded and lay down properly, his big round eyes fixed unblinkingly on his Master.
Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly, took a Medical Patch, tore it open a little, and stuck it on Su Ling’s neck. Immediately, a cool sensation spread across his neck, very comfortable. Even his throat, which had been feeling irritated, seemed to feel better under this touch.
“Alright, close your eyes and take a nap. Master will stay by your side. I won’t leave until you fall asleep.”
Su Ling obediently closed his eyes, but one of his little hands still tightly gripped his Master’s wrist, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the little fellow’s well-behaved appearance and couldn’t help but lean down and plant a kiss on his forehead. Little Thing was becoming more and more obedient.
She touched her own lower belly. Once the unborn child was born, Little Thing should be very happy.
Little Thing’s sleep quality was very good. Soon, his breathing became steady, clearly indicating he had fallen asleep.
But Gu Qingyuan didn’t rush to leave immediately. She watched Little Thing for a while before reluctantly departing.
She did have her own matters to attend to. Over these past few days, she sometimes felt bored. After all, aside from playing with Little Thing every day, she also played games. Repeating the same routine day after day inevitably became a bit dull. Although Little Thing was fun and she never got tired of playing with him, she couldn’t just play all the time. She still felt bored.
So she decided to find something to do. Coincidentally, she had always had the idea of making a movie, so she decided to establish a film company and produce some films.
Moreover, this idea was not made on a whim. It had been decided long ago. That time she returned to the country was also because she wanted to understand the domestic film market. Little Thing had been a complete unexpected bonus!
Now was the time to pick it up again. She also had her own ideas; she had been conceptualizing a movie in her mind. Recently, superhero movies were very popular, and the idea in her head happened to be a superhero movie.
However, for now, establishing a film company was the most important thing. After all, without even setting up the stage, everything else was just empty talk.
