Then, Gu Qingchen saw Rong Yu’s smooth hand movements. He first opened a blue bottle with a complicated way, then poured the liquid inside into a very artistic high-mouthed bottle.
Then, he opened a bottle of red liquid and poured the red liquid into the high-mouthed bottle to a certain proportion. He gently shook the high-mouthed bottle and added some powder-like things into it. After settling it for a while, he then chose a crystal clear luminous glass made of jade and poured the fruit juice into it.
After the blue liquid was added with the red liquid, it slowly turned into a mysterious purple color. When the purple liquid was poured into the luminous glass, it had a slightly sticky feeling, but it emitted a sweet smell. Gu Qingchen had smelled it long ago.
At the same time, Rong Yu filled Gu Qingchen’s seven-colored glazed jade cup with the fruit juice he made himself. Then, he pushed it in front of Gu Qingchen and said with a smile, “Try it.”
Gu Qingchen did not stand on ceremony. She picked up the glass and gently put it to her mouth. She took a sip and immediately felt a sweet smell spread out in her mouth. It tickled all her taste buds, she finally experienced it.
It had a right amount of sweetness. It had an extremely refreshing feeling. The taste was the same as the color, with a hint of mystery.
“What is this? The taste is a little strange. It’s like fruit juice, but I can’t tell what kind of fruit it is.”
Rong Yu also took a big sip and looked very satisfied. “It’s specially made. In layman’s terms, it’s similar to grafting.”
Gu Qingchen looked at the juice in her hand with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. “Fruit juice can also be grafted? This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”
“People can be cloned, so why not fruit juice? In this world, in many unknown places, there are some special venues. They had developed all kinds of things, except those they still haven’t think of.”
Hearing Rong Yu’s words, Gu Qingchen was slightly distracted. Rong Yu was right. If she didn’t become the drug test subject, she probably wouldn’t know that those special laboratories on TV did exist in some corners of this world.
However, those laboratories were extremely secretive, and very few people knew about it. Even if there were people who knew about it, like her, they died there.
What Gu Qingchen did not know was that Rong Yu’s eyes had been staring at her. When he saw that she was absent-minded, his eyes seemed to have deepened, and there was a hint of scrutiny in them.
After a long while, Rong Yu finished the fruit juice in his cup and poured himself another cup. Then, he asked, “Doctor Gu, are you here today to start treating me?”
Gu Qingchen rarely came to see him before. Ever since the last school performance, Gu Qingchen had not appeared. Today, she suddenly came to visit him. He was a little curious about what she was here for.
Hearing Rong Yu mention this, Gu Qingchen came back to her senses. When she remembered the purpose of her visit today, her expression became much more serious.
“My medical license has not been issued yet. I am here today for another matter.”
Rong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking extremely lazy.
“Oh? Another matter? You’re referring to…”
“It is related to your personal safety. Of course, the cause of this matter is also me, so I have to come here to protect you.”
Seeing Gu Qingchen being so serious, Rong Yu laughed. The corners of his eyes lifted slightly, and he teased again, “Haha, you do care about my body.”
If it were not for the official business, Gu Qingchen would have rolled her eyes.
Rong Yu also saw that Gu Qingchen did not tease her, so he stopped teasing her and became more serious. His slender fingers held the luminous glass and leisurely drank his favorite juice, “Don’t tell me that someone is going to kidnap you again and drag me down as well.”
Gu Qingchen was a little embarrassed by this unhurried sentence. Then, under Rong Yu’s gaze, she nodded awkwardly and coughed lightly, “Ahem, more or less. But this time is more serious. I don’t have the confidence to protect your safety, so I came here today to discuss this matter with you.”
Rong Yu was just casually saying it, but he did not expect that he was right. Although he was a little surprised when he heard Gu Qingchen’s words, it was only for a moment. He soon laughed out loud, “I realized that ever since I met you, my life, which has been dull for twenty years, seems to have become much more colorful.”
Gu Qingchen blushed a lot. Indeed, she had brought Rong Yu a lot of trouble. Last time, he was kidnapped because of her, and this time, he was hunted by the mercenaries because of her.
Seeing that Gu Qingchen was a little embarrassed, Rong Yu didn’t continue to tease her. “Who are they? Is your information accurate?”
Gu Qingchen took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down. Then she said, “The information should be accurate. They are from the Jiang family. They are going to hire international mercenaries to attack you and me.”
Gu Qingchen paused and continued, “They think that you are my backer, so they want to get rid of you first.”
Gu Qingchen had gotten all this information from Shi Wei. Basically, whatever Shi Wei heard, Gu Qingchen knew.
“Oh? It seems that I, the young master of the Rong family, am really a failure. Any random Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to harm me. Tell me… What should I do?”
Rong Yu didn’t seem to care about the Jiang family and the mercenaries at all. In his opinion, they were all small fry and couldn’t make any big waves. He just felt that the people of the Jiang family were very ignorant, they actually thought of a desperate plan to find mercenaries to assassinate him.
Gu Qingchen thought for a while and said, “If they were ordinary hooligans, I might be able to defeat them. But if the other party are well-trained mercenaries, I can’t guarantee your safety. But I guess you should be able to think of a solution.”
People in Rong Yu’s position would more or less know how to solve this kind of problem. Gu Qingchen felt that she was still too inexperienced. She needed to grow up quickly and establish her own power.
“In that case, why don’t you stay here for the time being, Doctor Gu?”
Rong Yu put down the cup in his hand. His rouge red lips were covered with a touch of purple, making him look extremely flirtatious.
Gu Qingchen also hoped to stay this time. After all, this matter was caused by her. She initially thought that Rong Yu meant to let him solve this problem. She did not expect that Rong Yu would continue to nod his head as if it was a matter of course, “I’ll leave my life and safety to you. I trust your skills.”
Pfft!
Although she had the intention to protect Rong Yu, it was a little hard to accept it after Rong Yu said it so bluntly. Especially when she saw the trust in Rong Yu’s eyes, Gu Qingchen felt that her task was arduous!
At Rong Yu’s request, Gu Qingchen stayed behind. There were many rooms here, and Butler Qin arranged for her to stay in the room next to Rong Yu.
It was worth mentioning that this room was actually connected to Rong Yu’s room, but the door was locked on Rong Yu’s side.
