Chapter 341 - 340: Encounter
Gu Tingyu heard Yiyi’s words and looked at her with some confusion, saying, "How do you know about Zhang Li?"
Upon hearing this, Yiyi recounted what happened at the hospital today, finally saying, "I think Zhang Li seems quite familiar with Fan Qianshu, and from their conversation, I guessed she’s from your unit, which is why I’m asking you. I’m just a bit curious; it turns out there are women at your place too."
"Zhang Li was invited by the organization to train the No. 1 organization before, but she mainly trains the technical skills of the members, so she’s still with the No. 1 organization now."
Hearing Gu Tingyu’s explanation, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "It seems Zhang Li is quite impressive, being specially invited to train the No. 1 organization’s members. However, now that you’ve become their coach, will Zhang Li continue to stay?"
"This matter depends on the decision from above, but she focuses on technical aspects, which is different from my training, so it’s likely she’ll continue to stay."
Yiyi didn’t ask further upon hearing this.
At this moment, Ding Yuejun asked about Fei Zhangda, "Yiyi, I heard Erya’s father came to Shangjing. Did you pick him up today?"
"I did. I’ve already taken Uncle to the hospital to see Erya."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun nodded and said, "That’s good. However, since Erya is still in the hospital, her father must be very worried."
"Yes, he is quite worried, but I see that Erya has recovered well and should be discharged soon."
"That’s good. Once Erya is discharged, let’s invite them for a meal together so we can all have a good gathering," Ding Yuejun said, then looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Tingyu, let’s choose a day when you’re off work so that everyone can gather."
Finally, Ding Yuejun looked at Old Master Ding and said, "Dad, what do you think?"
"Good."
Old Master Ding had been listening quietly by the side. Hearing this from his daughter, he quickly nodded with a smile.
After finishing their conversation, they all went to the dining room for dinner.
The dinner was quite sumptuous, and Ding Yuejun kept urging Gu Tingyu to eat more.
Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh. Seeing that Gu Tingyu indeed ate quite a bit, she quickly said, "That’s enough, Mom. Tingyu has already eaten a lot. Don’t make him eat more."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun finally stopped urging him and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, it’s enough to be full, no need to overeat lest you suffer indigestion at night." And being considerate, after dinner, she let Yiyi and Gu Tingyu go for a walk together.
Hearing Ding Yuejun’s suggestion, Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "Aunt Ding, I’ll take Yiyi out for a walk then, and make sure to bring her back before ten."
"Alright, off you go then."
Once Yiyi and Gu Tingyu went out, Old Master Ding disapprovingly looked at his eldest daughter and said, "Yuejun, you should let Yiyi come back earlier; she should be home by nine."
"Dad, the young couple hasn’t seen each other for many days. They must have endless things to talk about, so it’s appropriate to let them have some alone time."
Old Master Ding, hearing this, muttered, "Girls should come home earlier in the evening."
"Dad, they are already engaged."
Hearing this, Old Master Ding said no more.
On the other side, Gu Tingyu took Yiyi for a stroll nearby and talked to her about what happened last time.
"The information provided by those people wasn’t very useful, so we continued to investigate and found that the person who paid to hire assassins to kill Fan Qianshu belongs to an organization called Qin Sect."
Yiyi heard this and was full of confusion.
"Qin Sect? What kind of organization is that?"
Regarding this, Gu Tingyu didn’t know much either.
"I hadn’t heard much about this Qin Sect before, only discovered its existence after investigating this matter. We need to investigate further to know more; I’ll tell you when the time comes."
Yiyi listened and nodded.
"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Since we finally got to see each other, we should talk about our own things." Gu Tingyu, holding Yiyi’s hand, smiled and walked forward.
Yiyi, feeling the warmth in her palm, wore a sweet smile on her face and kept up with Gu Tingyu’s pace step by step.
During the day, the weather was hot, but it was very cool at night, so many people came outside to enjoy the evening, including many young couples like Gu Tingyu and Yiyi. They walked slowly on the road, like most people, talking and laughing with warmth despite the simplicity and commonness, yet filled with happiness.
By the time Gu Tingyu sent Yiyi back, it was already half-past nine.
Ding Yuejun saw them return and greeted with a smile, "Tingyu, come in and have a late-night snack before heading back. The kitchen made fish slice noodles, and it smells wonderful."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu didn’t stand on ceremony, smiling as he joined them inside.
Old Master Ding hadn’t slept either and saw them enter the house, greeting them to sit down, "I just wanted to have a late-night snack, which is why I’m still awake."
Yiyi heard this and couldn’t help but glance at Old Master Ding, saying, "Grandpa, why do you want to have a late-night snack tonight? You usually watch your diet and don’t eat after eight in the evening."
"Ahem... I suddenly felt like it today."
Ding Yuejun happened to come in with a bowl, hearing Old Master Ding’s explanation, she smiled and shook her head. After the noodles were brought over, everyone had a late-night snack, and eventually, Gu Tingyu said goodbye and left.
"Yiyi, your grandpa specifically waited for you guys to return."
After Gu Tingyu left, Ding Yuejun spilled the beans about Old Master Ding, "He was worried that Tingyu wouldn’t bring you home at night."
Old Master Ding quickly said, "I didn’t think like that, alright, alright, it’s late, you guys should head back to rest as well." He said, directly heading back to his courtyard, although his steps were faster than usual.
Seeing Old Master Ding’s retreating figure, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes filled with warmth.
During this time, she had noticed Old Master Ding’s considerate behavior towards her and her daughter, his concern did touch her.
And Yiyi, somewhat amused and frustrated, said, "Grandpa worries too much."
The mother and daughter chatted as they returned to their courtyard.
The next day, early in the morning, Gu Tingyu came by to see Yiyi, and the two went to the hospital to see Fei Erya together.
However, when Yiyi and Gu Tingyu entered the ward, they discovered Yang Liu and Fang Cheng were also there.
"Yiyi, you came to see Erya too? What a coincidence, we just happened to bump into each other."
Yiyi was quite happy to see Yang Liu as well, "Teacher Yang, you’re here too! If I had known, we would have come earlier to chat more together."
"Actually, we haven’t been here long."
Yang Liu said with a smile and then pulled Yiyi to sit beside Fei Erya, "Erya, you must get well soon, so the three of us can have a good gathering."
