she is sweeter than sugar

The matter of Gu Ci's failure in Chinese spread throughout the No. [-] Middle School at an extremely fast speed.

In the end... Even Gu Ci herself heard about her failure in Chinese.

It is one thing to know that you have failed Chinese.

Hearing that I failed Chinese from other people...

Gu Ci feels that this is still an experience that cannot be described in words...

In short, not very wonderful.

After school was over, Gu Ci was freed from the dilemma of being able to hear others saying that she was not good at Chinese as soon as she stepped out of the classroom.

Together, Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue rushed towards Mrs. Jiang's house.

Jiang Xin seems to have been busy these days. A few days ago, she was supposed to do acupuncture for Grandma Jiang, but she refused with various reasons.

It has been a long time since today.

Gu Ci has always been rigorous and serious about her patients.

So, I decided to go directly to Mrs. Jiang's house today to have a look, and observe her situation again.

Just when they were downstairs in Jiang's house, Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue ran into each other, and Jiang Xin, who was coming up from upstairs, bumped into each other.

Huo Shuyue was stunned for a moment.

According to the past, they came here by car, while Jiang Xin walked back by himself.

Even if they were delayed for a while on the road today, they should have arrived before Jiang Xin, but looking at Jiang Xin's appearance at this time, it should have been a while since they got home.

Seeing Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue appearing on the stairs, panic flashed across Jiang Xin's eyes.

Without any explanation, she pulled Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue and walked outside quickly.

At the same time, she lowered her voice.

"Come with me..."

Huo Shuyue followed Jiang Xin out with a dazed expression.

She didn't realize it until she was outside, "Jiang Xin, where are you taking us?"

Jiang Xin brought the two of them to the corner until they stopped.

"It's nothing, but my grandma's condition is almost better, so I don't need to trouble you in the future, you go back soon."

There was a bit of urgency in Jiang Xin's voice, and the words she said seemed to be urging them to leave quickly...

And Jiang Xin's reason also made Huo Shuyue a little puzzled. Obviously everything was fine before, and Grandma Jiang also felt that after Gu Ci gave him acupuncture, his body became much lighter.

Moreover, Jiang Xin has always been very worried about Grandma Jiang's physical condition.

But now, why did Jiang Xin urgently urge them to leave?

There was suspicion in Huo Shuyue's eyes, "It's all here, let's take a look at Grandma Jiang and leave."

The best thing is that Gu Ci can give Grandma Jiang a simple examination to confirm her physical condition during this time...

If Huo Shuyue herself suddenly fell ill one day, she would definitely want Gu Ci to give her such a check-up package, but now, someone directly refused...

Intuition told Huo Shuyue that there might be something wrong here, so she wanted to go to Jiang's house to see if Grandma Jiang was in good health.

However, after hearing what Jiang Huo Shuyue said, Jiang Xin still refused without any hesitation.

While talking, she also pushed the two of them outside, but in a short time, Jiang Xin became even more anxious.

This must make people believe that it is really difficult for the Jiang family to have nothing to do.

Huo Shuyue wanted to ask Jiang Xin if something happened in their house, but Gu Ci had already bypassed Jiang Xin and headed towards Jiang's house.

Seeing this, Jiang Xin's lips turned pale, and she immediately wanted to hold Gu Ci back.

However, it is not an easy matter to hold Gu Ci back...

After grabbing Gu Ci with one hand and failing, Jiang Xin's tone couldn't help becoming more anxious, "Gu Ci, you must trust me, I really won't harm you, can you go away today? Don't show up at Jiang's house, I beg you."

Jiang Xin's words became more and more ambiguous, but anyone could tell that there must be something else that made Jiang Xin hide it from them, and she was wary of letting them go to her house.

Seeing Gu Ci reach the stairs in a few steps, Jiang Xin immediately chased after him.

She still wanted to try to take Gu Ci away, but before she could do anything, there was a sound of regular and orderly footsteps on the stairs.

Hearing this series of footsteps, Jiang Xin's expression changed again.

He hurriedly wanted to push Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue into a corner to avoid being discovered, but before he could take action, the person coming down from the stairs had already stopped Jiang Xin.

"Xinxin, why did it take you so long to take out the trash by yourself? Did something happen? These two people are..."

The man came down the stairs, and then his eyes fell on Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue again, and a gleam of coldness flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Xin stepped directly in front of Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue, but she wanted to take advantage of her height to stop the man from looking at Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue.

But obviously, this is of no use.

The man's gaze, as if he could directly see Huo Shuyue and Gu Ci through Jiang Xin, gave people an unfathomable feeling.

Jiang Xin's tone was a little nervous.

"Uncle, these are my two classmates, they passed by, I will let them go back now..."

However, the man's cold eyes did not move away from Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue.

Especially when the focus fell on Huo Shuyue.

Hearing what Jiang Xin said, the man frowned, and looked at Jiang Xin with more scrutiny.

"Just an ordinary classmate passing by?" The man couldn't help but click his tongue, and there was a touch of coolness in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Xin.

Under great pressure, Jiang Xin said, "Yes...they are just my ordinary classmates. They also wanted to visit my grandma after hearing that she was not in good health. But I also told them that grandma is now It's not very convenient, so let them pass for a while, but they want to see grandma sooner, so they come here now."

"But I have made it clear to them now that they will leave immediately."

For the first time, when Jiang Xin spoke for such a long time, beads of sweat appeared on her palms, and she became even more nervous.

"Are you sure?" The man sneered directly.

He looked at Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue again.

"The two of you are Gu Ci and Huo Shuyue, right?"

Jiang Xin raised her head and looked at the man, with a stubborn tone in her voice, "It's not their fault at all, why..."

The voice stopped abruptly.
