"Mr. Gu, you're awake?" The butler stopped what he was doing as soon as he saw Gu Yusheng walking down the stairs.

  Gu Yu didn't say a word and nodded lightly before heading towards the dining hall.

  The housekeeper followed up and, after Gu Yu Sheng sat down, immediately brought out a cup of warm honey tea according to Qin Zhi Ai's instructions. Then he went to the kitchen and scooped out a bowl of congee that Qin Zhi Ai had cooked.

  Gu Yu Sheng drank more than half a cup of honey tea before putting down the cup, then pulled the porridge in front of him with one hand, stirred it twice with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.

  The porridge, which had been cooked for a long time, was fragrant and sweet.

  Just as he entered, Gu Yu Sheng's brow furrowed slightly, then he continued to scoop up a second spoonful and brought it to his lips.

  A bowl of porridge is soon finished.

  The housekeeper who was standing by asked tactfully: "Mr. Gu, would you like another bowl?"

  Congee apparently suited Gu Yu Sheng's taste, he slightly nodded his head and with his mouth closed, he let out a vague "en".

  After drinking the porridge, Gu Yu's stomach felt much more comfortable and his mood seemed to have improved as well. When he had drunk half of the second bowl of porridge, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Is this porridge something you've newly learned?"

  The housekeeper was taken aback at first, then realized that she had been cooking for Mr. Gu for many years and had never made such a congee before, no wonder he suddenly asked. Then the words Qin Yizhen said to her before leaving appeared in her mind, she feared that Gu Yusen would notice something wrong and become suspicious, which would ruin Xiaojie's good intentions. She hastily nodded and lied: "Yes, I saw it on TV a while ago, it's light and nourishing for the stomach, so I learned to cook it myself."

  "Hmm..." Gu Yu Sheng responded absent-mindedly, continuing to scoop up a spoonful of porridge and bringing it to his mouth. This time, he swallowed at a much slower pace, as if savoring the flavor. Just as he was about to swallow the entire spoonful, his swallowing motion suddenly stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed.

  The housekeeper thought it was Gu Yu who had discovered something and was so frightened that all the hairs on his back stood up.

  Gu Yu Sheng remained silent, staring at the lawn outside the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window for a long time until his eyes felt sour. He blinked lightly and came back to himself, then lowered his head, continuing to drink the porridge while casually saying: "The taste of this porridge is somewhat familiar, like I've had it before..." As he spoke, Gu Yu Sheng shook his head and didn't continue talking about the porridge anymore.

  After breakfast, the housekeeper handed Gu Yu Sheng a glass of mouthwash. As he reached out to take it, a scene suddenly flashed through his mind - last night, when he was drunk and dizzy, someone had also handed him water...

  He couldn't remember whether his hand was too weak or he just didn't lift it, and then that person directly supported his upper body, carefully feeding him to drink. Later, it seemed like he had a headache, and she even helped him massage his head...
