Reborn as a petite ex-uncle

Chapter 841 White Lies

Huo Shenxiu bent down and frowned: "Didn't you go back?"

Su Mi rubbed her eyes hurriedly, and sat up straight: "Well... are you done with the professor's work?"

Looking out the window, the sky is not yet completely bright, probably only five or six o'clock.

I slept for an hour or two.

"You've been waiting here?"

She nodded: "I'm thinking of you alone... I'm afraid I'll be too busy, so I'll stay here with you."

His eyes moved: "Aren't you afraid?"

A woman stood alone in the empty corridor of the hospital in the early morning.

There was an old man who had just left in the opposite ward, so he was somewhat timid.

Su Mi shook her head.

What's there to be afraid of?

After the previous him passed away, she also came here like this.

Huo Shenxiu gathered her slightly messy sleeping hair behind her ears, took her hand and pulled it up: "I'll take you downstairs and let the driver take you back first."

She froze: "What about you? Won't you go back?"

"I'm going to go to the mourning hall reserved for Professor Liu, and explain that there are also his friends who were alive, and they have to send invitation letters to attend the memorial service. You know, the professor has no descendants or relatives, so I can only take care of it for him. .”

She hummed, and then glanced at a ward in the corridor:

"Doctor Gu, are you okay?"

He understood that she was probably still thinking about Professor Liu's deathbed entrustment.

I guess I've been thinking a lot about it since last night.

He led her to turn around and walked towards Gu Qingruo's ward.

Su Mi took a few steps before returning to her senses: "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you ask Dr. Gu about it? Go and see for yourself." He led her recklessly, walked to the front of the ward, and knocked on the door.

After a while, a weak female voice came from inside:

"Come in."

The two go in.

After taking a sedative, Gu Qingruo felt much better. She was lying on the bed, crying silently. When she saw Huo Shenxiu and Su Mi coming in, she stopped her tears: "Second Master, Miss Su is here."

Huo Shenxiu asked, "Is it better?"

Gu Qingruo nodded: "It's all right." Turned over and got out of bed again: "...I want to see the teacher again."

Huo Shenxiu stopped him: "Professor Liu's body is ready to be sent to the mourning hall. Let's go there for the last time when expressing condolences."

Gu Qingruo's eyes were red again, and it took him a while to calm down: "Second Master, you have worked hard. Originally, the teacher's affairs should be taken care of by me as a student."

"Professor Liu is my attending doctor, and also my benefactor, in his own right."

Gu Qingruo sighed: "I'm not familiar with Tancheng, and I may need the help of the second master for the funeral. If there is anything I don't understand, I may have to continue to trouble the second master."

Su Mi's eyelids moved.

These words clearly showed that she would still have contact with Huo Shenxiu.

And it was a valid reason that Huo Shenxiu could not refuse.

Huo Shenxiu said calmly: "It's okay, I will let Han Fei be in charge of the professor's funeral. If you need anything, you can tell him."

Su Mi frowned.

Gu Qingruo saw that he pushed onto the assistant, obviously avoiding dealing with her, her face was also startled, she inadvertently glanced at Su Mi, her eyes were a little more mocking.

He also brought Su Mi in.

This is to tell Su Mi specially that he has nothing to do with her.

Gu Qingruo didn't say anything, and said very self-aware: "That's right. The second master is busy with people, so it's really not good to disturb you all the time."

Huo Shenxiu said: "After the funeral, you can go back to North America first. Don't worry, I will follow Professor Liu's wishes. If you need anything there, you can also tell Han Fei directly, and he will help you. In short, Professor Liu I will not break my promise to me before I die."

Gu Qingruo's expression changed again.

Before the professor died, he asked him to take good care of himself. Where is the material care?

He knew it well, but was deliberately vague.

He also offered to let her go back after finishing the funeral.

She kept her composure and straightened her slender body: "No need, thank you Second Master. I have a proper job and a house in North America. I don't think I need Second Master's help."

Huo Shenxiu said everything he needed to say, and didn't linger any longer: "Then you have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, she and Su Mi left the ward.

He sent Su Mi downstairs, walked out of the elevator, and walked towards the car. Halfway through, Su Mi stopped.

He also stopped and stared at her: "Why, didn't I make it clear to Dr. Gu just now?"

Su Mi looked at him: "Professor Liu asked you to take good care of Gu Qingruo before he died, you know exactly what it means... Do you really plan to let her leave after the funeral?"

Huo Shenxiu calmed down: "There are many ways to take care of people. Every time I need to sacrifice my appearance? I'm not in a special industry."

Su Mi couldn't help laughing, and asked carefully, "Then you lied to Professor Liu, didn't you?"

He clearly agreed to Professor Liu last night.

"Professor Liu will forgive white lies."

She said nothing more.

He took two steps closer to her and said in a low voice, "Professor Liu said those words before he died just because he cared too much about Dr. Gu, a student. He might not have noticed you coming. You don't have to take his words to heart."

As long as he doesn't have Gu Qingruo in his heart, Su Mi is already satisfied, and doesn't care what others say: "I know."

He saw that her little face was blushing, and her mood improved a lot, and her mood also relaxed a lot for no reason.

Couldn't help leaning close to her pink cheeks: "Aren't you angry now?"

She was a little flustered and denied it flatly: "I... I'm not angry."

"So you're not jealous anymore?"

"...I'm not jealous either!"

When she was in a hurry, her tone would be a little coquettish, just like a little girl.

He saw the inexplicable fever on the back of his neck. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not completely cold early in the morning, and the private hospital was quiet with few people, he couldn't help bullying her and kissed her forehead unexpectedly.

She froze.

However, he immediately regained his senses, slipped his hand down and pulled her, led her to the car, and asked the driver to take her back to Huayuan.

**

A week later, the Suburban Research Office.

After Gu Qingruo finished testing the medical equipment, she got off the workbench and took off her gloves and mask.

Professor Liu's funeral is completely over.

But she didn't go back to North America immediately as Huo Shenxiu wanted.

Instead, he moved to a laboratory in the suburbs.

After the teacher passed away, except for the funeral, she almost never saw Huo Shenxiu again.

In the research room, Huo Shenxiu didn't come here much.

If you want to know about the research progress, you always call Xiao Shao to ask.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingruo's eyes seemed bright and dark, lost in thought.

It seems that Huo Shenxiu really has a crush on Su Mi, her ex.

I don't want her to misunderstand him a little bit.

Even if she deliberately discredited Su Mi in front of Huo Shenxiu and ruined Su Mi's impression...

Still can't stand Huo Shenxiu's growing feelings for this ex day by day.

It should come, it will always come.

It's funny.

Now it is difficult for her to meet Huo Shenxiu, how can she talk about destroying the relationship between him and Su Mi?
