Chapter 2125: Some Pig’s Trotter Soup?

Ning Shu couldn’t understand Gu Rui. She sensed that his celestial beauty, calmness, and whatnot were just a facade.

The sun set earlier during the winter, and with the darkening of the sky came a biting chill.

Ning Shu was so cold that her lips turned blue.

Gu Rui saw that Ning Shu was shivering from the cold. He told her, “Eat something warm and then go to bed. You won’t be able to stay up all night.”

“Then you’ll be here alone. I can’t just leave you by yourself.” It would seem that Gu Rui was the most stable and responsible person among the three.

As for the others, Mo Juechen’s mood changed like the wind, and Li Jiuge was just a child.

“I’ll be fine,” Gu Rui said, throwing more paper money into the brazier.

Ning Shu really couldn’t quite stand it anymore. Her hands and feet were ice cold. It felt like she was sitting on knives.

This body had a terrible constitution.

Ning Shu said to Gu Rui, “Then, I’ll go warm up for a while.”

Back in her room, Ning Shu hurriedly shrank into the bed, burrowing under the quilt. Xi Tao moved the brazier closer to the bed and asked Ning Shu, “Miss, do you want some pig’s trotter soup?”

Ning Shu: …

Why couldn’t she just let that go!?

“No need, I still just want to eat porridge. Have the cook make some for Gu Rui, too,” Ning Shu said. It was her father who had died, but she was making Gu Rui, an outsider, observe the mourning in her place.

“Okay.” Xi Tao left, closing the door behind her.

Ning Shu reached out towards the brazier to warm her cold hands.

Ning Shu had never experienced such a cold winter. This wasn’t because of the actual temperature, but because this body was weak to the cold.

Her hands were like ice cubes and her feet weren’t warming up even though she was under a quilt.

Xi Tao came back carrying a hot water bottle. Her nose was red from the cold. She placed the hot water bottle by Ning Shu’s feet, “Miss, hurry and warm your hands, too.”

“Miss has hated the cold since she was a child.”

Xi Tao went back to the kitchen to get food for Ning Shu. Ning Shu sighed.

She was at a loss. When she had done other tasks, she’d always have a goal to strive for. Now that she had no purpose for her actions, she was completely lost.

Ning Shu was most worried that she would have to stay in this world for the rest of her life.

She didn’t know how 2333 was doing.

She had no control over her own fate right now.

Ning Shu calmed herself down. Her situation couldn’t get any worse than it already was. Worrying about it was useless.

Even if she really did have to stay in this world for a lifetime, it was what she deserved.

Despite that, Ning Shu was still unwilling to give up. She hadn’t constructed a world, hadn’t become an ultra task-taker, and hadn’t climbed to the top of the hierarchical pyramid. She couldn’t just die like this.

Xi Tao returned with a food box. She took out a few vegetarian dishes and a stack of dim sum.

“Miss, eat quickly or it will get cold.”

Ning Shu looked at the food. She gulped down a mouthful of saliva, feeling very hungry. This body’s appetite was way too big. No wonder it was so fat.

Ning Shu ate until she was half full and then tried not to look at the rest of the food on the table. She slid back under the quilt. “Tell the kitchen to make Gu Rui something to eat.”

“This servant has told them. They already wouldn’t dare to not send anything,” Xi Tao said.

Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. The three men seemed to be very powerful in the Fang family.

“It’s cold, you should go rest. You don’t have to watch over me,” Ning Shu said to Xi Tao.

“This servant is fine. Miss gets hungry in the middle of the night. Xi Tao needs to prepare more food for Miss.” Xi Tao shook her head.

Ning Shu: …

No wonder this body grew so fat. She ate too much, and all the excess calories just became more fat.
