At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Who is this child?"

As Old Liu ate his noodles, his eyes couldn't help but glance towards Gu Yu.

This child came with Liu and Mrs. Bai, and he sure looked handsome!

He had lived a lifetime and had never seen such a fine-looking young man in real life, just like the male protagonist in a TV series!

Just based on looks alone, he was a hundred times better than his unfilial son Ermao!

"Uncle Liu, my name is Gu Yu!"

Before Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai could answer, Gu Yu rushed to introduce himself.

"Oh! Look at my memory! I was so busy talking to you, I forgot to introduce you!"

"This child Gu Yu is Yue'er's boyfriend! Yue'er, you remember, right? She's the little girl who used to watch you play chess in front of the noodle shop! Daughter of the Lin Family, she's about to graduate from college now!"

Mrs. Bai put down the insulated box and took Gu Yu by the arm, introducing him with a beaming smile.

"Remember, remember! That little girl is so refreshing! And now her boyfriend is also exceptionally talented! A perfect match!"

With memories flooding back, Old Liu was very happy, lavishing praise on Gu Yu continuously.

Gu Yu scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed but accepted the praise graciously.

"There's another thing I haven't told you. Didn't I say yesterday that Liu and I took over your shop? This child is a shareholder! He put up half the money!"

Mrs. Bai spoke with a hint of pride, as if Gu Yu were her own son.

On hearing this, Old Liu was stunned for a couple of seconds.

This child looked like a college student; how could he possibly come up with a whopping sum of five hundred thousand all at once?

But then he thought about it. Yue'er's family background was so good, how bad could her boyfriend be?

He must be from a rich second-generation family, right?

Suddenly, it all made sense to Old Liu.

"Child, I really thank you! If my shop had been sold by that unworthy son of mine to someone else, I truly wouldn't be able to rest in peace even in death! With my current condition, I really can't control him!"

Despite his own shop being bought by Gu Yu, Old Liu's face was full of gratitude, and he repeatedly bowed his hands in thanks to Gu Yu.

"Haha, I'm just making an investment, there's nothing to thank! If Mrs. Bai and Liu's shop were to close, where else could I find such delicious noodles in the future?"

Gu Yu pointed to the bowl of noodles on the table and said with a chuckle, while also remembering to compliment Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai's cooking skills.

Mrs. Bai gave him an approving "you know your stuff" look.

When elders are speaking, the younger generation typically shouldn't interrupt, so after Gu Yu finished speaking, he quietly stood behind Mrs. Bai.

The three elders continued their conversation.

They just got onto the topic of Old Liu's illness.

It turned out Old Liu had a sudden cerebral infarction five days ago and was admitted to the hospital!

Since then, he had been conservatively treated with pharmacological thrombolysis.

But in reality, his condition was very serious, and the thrombolysis wasn't very effective, so he should have started interventional surgery as soon as possible.

However, Old Liu was reluctant to spend so much money, and because the neurology department of the Affiliated Hospital had an unexpected surge in patients recently, there was a shortage of doctors, which led to the delay until today!

It should be noted that a cerebral infarction interventional surgery is a level four procedure, requiring at least a Deputy Director Doctor with many years of experience to operate!

Even at Haidong Medical College Affiliated Hospital, there aren't many physicians qualified to perform the surgery.

Patient numbers are high, and doctors are few, so they just have to queue up and wait for their turn.

Right now, there are four neurology patients in the hospital, all of them waiting for a slot to have surgery!

They have no special privileges or connections, so naturally, they can only wait.

Those who can't wait might have to choose to transfer to another hospital or go home and wait for death!

Even if they were to be transferred to another hospital, if Haidong Affiliated is in this state, other hospitals won't be much better.

So Old Liu, like most of the patients, was just enduring it.

Conserve non-surgical treatment, last as many days as possible!

"Ah, just live for as many days as I can!"

"If I really die, I'd trouble Liu and Mrs. Bai to scatter my ashes in the Huangpu River. I grew up drinking the river's water; let my dust return to the earth, my bones to the flowing water."

Old Liu let out a long sigh. He wasn't afraid of dying, but he couldn't bear to leave his old friends.

His life was pretty much over; his wife had gone first, and his only son was unreliable. He had failed all the way.

The faces of the three elders were rather somber.

Gu Yu had listened to the entire conversation and felt somewhat uncomfortable too.

But that didn't mean he was going to go out of his way to do something for Old Liu. They were merely acquaintances after all, and he didn't need to trouble himself with it.

Old Liu had no connections, and he didn't have many himself. To help Old Liu, the cost might be significant!

It wasn't as simple as spending another fifty thousand at Check-in Points to be promoted to Deputy Director Doctor and treat Old Liu; there were too many intricacies and hassles involved!

If it weren't so troublesome to help, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.

In this world, everyone is responsible for clearing the snow from their own doorstep, dealing with their own secrets and clarity.

"I'll go empty your urinal for you! You can't walk with that leg of yours."

Mr. Liu broke the silence, bent down to take the red urinal from under the bed, and prepared to pour it into the bathroom outside.

"Shoot! I totally forgot about Boss Pu! We can't let him get choked holding it in, right?"

Seeing the urinal reminded Gu Yu that he still needed to deliver the adult diapers to Boss Pu!

"Mrs. Bai, Mr. Liu, and Liu, I've got a patient to look after on my end too! I'm gonna head out now! You guys keep chatting!"

Gu Yu shook the adult diaper in his hand.

"Go ahead! Kid, you were too busy listening to us, weren't you?"

Mrs. Bai waved her hand with a chuckle, her tone very kind.

"Okay! I'm off then! If you have any problems, just give me a call! I left my number for Liu when we signed the contract last time!"

Gu Yu nodded vigorously, then dashed out of the ward in a hurry.

The neurology ward was quite a distance from the surgical ward, on a different floor, and it took Gu Yu almost ten minutes to return to Boss Pu's double room.

To his surprise, he saw a police officer standing at the entrance to the ward.

"Did Laosan and Laosi arrive so quickly?"

Gu Yu was puzzled, not realizing he had already spent close to an hour with Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai.

"A criminal case investigation is underway inside, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"

As Gu Yu approached the entrance, the police officer reached out to stop him.

"Officer, I'm the roommate of the injured person inside! I'm also a witness! I just stepped out to buy some stuff!"

Gu Yu hurriedly explained his identity and even pulled out his student ID from his pocket.

The officer glanced at the adult diaper in his arms and confirmed the information on the student ID, then let him in.

"Thank you, officer!"

Gu Yu thanked him while entering the ward.

But as soon as he stepped in, he froze.

There were a bunch of people inside the ward!

I won't even mention Laosan and Laosi and the officer, but Professor Dai Zhengguo and those two girls who had stopped him before, insisting on adding him on Feixin, were also there!

If he remembered correctly, the girl with the bun was Qin Wanwan, and the one with the single ponytail was Huo Xiaoyi, right?

"Uh... so many people!"

Gu Yu approached slowly with the diaper in hand.

The young officer, who had been taking notes on verbal statements and injuries, looked back.

Upon seeing Gu Yu, his gaze shifted.

"Hey, it's you? Gu... what's your name again?"

"Gu Yu! Officer Xiao Hu! What a coincidence!"

Gu Yu quickly stated his full name and greeted the officer.

Wasn't this the same officer who had taken Ying Hong away at the Dior boutique?

It's such a small world!

"You... you two know each other?"

From his bed, Boss Pu looked on in surprise as the two greeted each other.

"Yeah, I helped Officer Xiao Hu with a case over the weekend!"

Gu Yu moved closer to the bed and discreetly placed the adult diaper beside Boss Pu's hand.

Boss Pu immediately caught on and hid the diaper under the blankets.

With so many people around, they couldn't risk exposing the adult diapers!

But of course, there was someone who was oblivious to the situation.

"Boss Pu, Laosi, what treasure are you hiding? Let me have a look!"

Qin Laosan, seeing their secretive actions, leaned over and pulled the adult diaper from under the blankets.

Fuyong Kang—Ready to pee anytime, anywhere!

The conspicuous advertising slogan on the blue, sanitary pad-like packaging was now unavoidably on display for everyone to see!

"It's over! My face is gone!"

Boss Pu pulled the blanket over his head in one swift motion.

Social death can strike so unexpectedly!

(The number of people demanding updates is growing, so starting today, there will be three updates! Four might still be a bit too much for me to handle… perhaps I need a stronger motivation? /hint)
