Became a vicious male mother

chapter264

In the Li family, the time from 5 PM to 7 PM is free; people can use it to eat, take a bath, relax, or take a walk in the courtyard, chat, or play games.

From 7 PM to 10 PM, this period is also the time for the younger generation to study.

After Gu Xinglan finished writing the last stroke, he suddenly realized that he might offend someone, and his face couldn't help but show sadness.

His phone arrived here yesterday, but the hotspot isn't working, and he hasn't been able to access the internet for a day and a half. The phone is completely useless now.

"Third Young Master..."

"You don't need to call me that."

Can I call you Xiaobai?

Seeing the person taking advantage of the situation, Li Jianbai smiled helplessly, "Whatever."

"Do you know the network password here?" Gu Xinglan asked sincerely.

But when he saw Li Jianbai shake his head, he immediately deflated.

I was thinking of ordering some things online and having them delivered. It's not like he has to go through the trouble of asking someone to make a special application every time he gets a minor illness or needs to buy something.

"But someone should know."

"Who?"

Gu Xinglan's eyes lit up.

"Let me ask around for you." Li Jianbai coughed lightly twice, covering his mouth, and continued softly, "...Since I've helped you, shouldn't you give me something in return?"

Gu Xinglan nodded quickly.

"There are so many medicinal herbs here, I can cook you some medicinal porridge."

With the skill card in hand, wouldn't mastering it be a piece of cake?

He also has another skill card that he doesn't use.

But after saying the words "medicinal porridge," Li Jianbai's expression darkened considerably.

"No need for the medicinal porridge. Do you know how to massage?"

Massage? Gu Xinglan shook her head.

"You can't learn it."

Li Jianbai's tone didn't sound like he was joking.

But the schedule at the Li family's old house is so tight...

The person on the other end seemed to have figured it out. "You're not from the Li family, so you're free to study during those times. Someone I know just had an accident, and a suitable replacement hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you come stay with me for a while?"

After speaking, the man raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xinglan calmly, his eyes revealing subtle emotions.

But Gu Xinglan's face showed an indescribable reluctance and embarrassment.

"Is there some difficulty?" He took a sip of tea. "If you don't like it, it's okay. My people should be able to come over in a few days. It won't be a problem."

Only a few days?

If he had someone familiar with the area to help him when he first arrived, he might be able to adapt more quickly.

Gu Xinglan quickly replied, "It's only a few days, of course I can do it."

He just didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"However," Gu Xinglan added hesitantly, "we also need to ask someone else."

He couldn't just make this decision on his own. Li Hetai was injured because of him, how could he abandon the other party and come here to have fun by himself?

"Never mind, let's talk about this later."

Having figured out the rules of the Li family, Gu Xinglan was about to go out.

As a result, the gate to the yard opened a crack.

Outside, a dense crowd of people stood, wielding hoes under the blazing sun, working busily and enthusiastically.

He even saw the original owner's ex-girlfriend who had just come to find him!

The original owner's ex is also outside!

With a "bang," he quickly shut the door, his eyes wide open, his breathing slightly disordered.

“You came over at noon, during lunch break. Now it’s time to work. Go through the back door,” Li Jianbai said, pointing to the door.

The house was so monotonous that the word "monotonous" perfectly described it.

There are decorations, furniture, and portraits, but it's just inexplicably monotonous.

Seeing that there were still intact pots and pans in the kitchen, Gu Xinglan suddenly felt hungry.

I ate cabbage and steamed buns for breakfast, and didn't eat lunch. I've been rushing to get here. I'll chat for another ten minutes or so. Now that I see the kitchen, I'm feeling dizzy from hunger.

"You are hungry."

Li Jianbai slowly approached, leaning on his cane.

"Is it convenient for me to cook here?" Gu Xinglan turned her head gently and smiled.

The kitchen stove is burning hot, and the kitchen is full of ingredients.

The moment he saw it, he felt that he should cling to this powerful figure, and not only should he cling to him, he should cling to him tightly!

Of all things, eating is the most important. Cabbage and steamed buns are edible, but you can't eat them every meal.

Does it smell as good as braised chicken with soy sauce, eggs, green peppers, shrimp paste, garlic sprouts, and stir-fried meat?

After finishing cooking, Gu Xinglan was starving. After serving the dishes, she didn't care about anything else and started eating heartily.

Li Jianbai seemed to dislike the dishes he had prepared and did not like seeing them; he had already gone up to his room.

Before leaving, he finished cleaning and tiptoed up the stairs.

The second floor was dark and gloomy, with red lights hanging on the walls, making the passageway look extremely eerie.

White light shone through the crack in the door, and he knocked twice.

"Xiaobai, there's porridge in the kitchen; it should suit your taste."

He opened the refrigerator, and there were only a few unpackaged ingredients. Not to mention that Li Jianbai was in poor health, so warm and light porridge was just right.

The sunset outside the window had already disappeared behind the mountain peaks.

Li Jianbai took a short nap, and in a half-dream, half-awake state, a burning sensation traveled from his stomach to his throat, and he immediately opened his eyes.

Pain spread throughout my body, and all my visions turned into fragments. With a few loud crashes, things on the bedside table fell to the floor.

The shards pierced his feet, but Li Jianbai stubbornly stepped over them, coughing as he staggered along.

The red and white light shone on the shadows cast onto the wall, and the pale wall stretched the shadows continuously, like a soulless beast that devoured human blood.

After taking the medicine, my consciousness gradually returned.

Pills were scattered all over the floor. Li Jianbai leaned against the wall, covered in sweat, his fingers trembling as he put the pills into a bottle.

"Third Master, the person who took care of you has returned..."

A trembling voice came in from outside the door.

When Li Jianbai was helped down.

The person kneeling on the ground trembled, their back trembling like a leaf.

"It's alright, get up."

These words were like a good medicine, and suddenly the man was cured. He knelt down at Li Jianbai's feet, his knees scraping the ground, and pressed his head against the pale instep.

"I deserve to die a thousand deaths. I promise I won't do it again. I'll stay by your side while you sleep and I promise I won't step out of the yard again!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

"Get up, just remember it," Li Jianbai said with a gentle smile.

"You're not feeling well today, go home and rest first, you can come back tomorrow."

The skinny, bony hand gently stroked the man's head twice.

Before the servant left, Li Jianbai thought of something and said, "Wait, bring out the porridge from the kitchen first."

The young man was keeping the clay pot warm.

When it was served, the maid gave a stiff smile and said, "Third Master, this porridge is really well made..."

The porridge in the clay pot exuded a rich, fragrant aroma; the smell instantly brought a sense of comfort.

When the maid left, there was only one person at the table.

The medicinal porridge in the spoon should have been a bitter and unpalatable thing, but when I ate it, it wasn't bitter at all; instead, it was quite sweet.

Yam? Poria cocos?

These things won't cure him.

Li Jianbai thought intermittently, but he ate one bite after another until the casserole was empty.

In the dim light, suddenly all you could see was this clay pot.

"Gu Xinglan?"

Is it really such a coincidence? Are there two people in the world who look exactly alike? Could there be another person who looks so much like Lai Tai-ho's marriage partner?

Li Jianbai suddenly regretted letting the group of investigators leave; now it would be difficult for him to continue the investigation.
