When Ruan Xueling saw Gu Yang return, she paused the conversation and turned to Ning Gui. "Gui, weren't you looking for Yangyang? She's back now."
Ning Gui breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yang was finally home. Having grown accustomed to her social anxiety, she found Aunt Ruan's enthusiastic chatter to be even more challenging than tackling physics projects.
"Ning Gui, why did you want to see me?" Gu Yang asked.
As university roommates who often shared a dorm, Ning Gui felt at ease with Gu Yang's gentle and amiable nature. She approached Gu Yang and said softly, "I wanted to talk to you about my illness."
Understanding that treating a patient was a private matter, Gu Yang placed her phone on the table to charge. She informed Ruan Xueling and Gu Jin, who were in the living room, before heading upstairs with Ning Gui.
