Gu Yu frowned. “I said I’ll build you a playground, and you want a swing? Wouldn’t that be letting down Grandpa’s good intentions? Forget it, I’ll make the decision for you!”

Han Ze smacked his hand. “Why are you making the decision to build a playground for Zhizhi? Zhizhi wanted a swing, right? We can set up a swing here and plant two rows of grapevines here. We can put the swing under the grapevines so that we won’t be afraid of the sun!”

Han Ze pointed at the picture and showed it to Zhizhi.

Gu Yu pouted. “Aren’t you afraid that caterpillars will climb onto Zhizhi? ”

As he spoke, he crossed two fingers and placed them on Zhizhi’s arm, wriggling it a little.

All the hair on Zhizhi’s body stood up. She dodged the young man’s finger in fear and leaned toward Han Ze.

Han Ze picked up Zhizhi and let her sit on his lap. He then pushed Gu Yu’s head. “Go away!”

Gu Yu was caught off guard and was sitting on the armrest of the sofa. Han Ze pushed him and he immediately fell to the ground.

Zhizhi could not help but laugh.

Gu Yu sat up while rubbing his butt and said angrily, “Zhizhi, I’ll bring you to the biggest playground tomorrow. We’ll build whatever you like when we get back. How about that?”

Zhizhi was stunned.

She had never been to a playground. She had only been to the dilapidated little square in the middle of Peppermint Alley. There was a very broken swing there, and it was Brother Shen Bai who fixed it for her to swing once.

After that, she could not forget about the swing.

Only then did Han Ze realize that Zhizhi might not have seen a playground before, but he could not lose face. He immediately said, “It’s better for me to bring you there!”

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing again, Zhizhi hurriedly said, “I’m not going. I want to stay with Grandma. I’m already five years old. I don’t need a playground. I just need a swing.”

Gu Sen and Gu Lin, who were sitting at the side, could not help but laugh.

Gu Sen nodded and said to Gu Yi, “I really hope Grandma wakes up soon. It’s the Gu family’s fortune to have such a sensible granddaughter!”

Gu Lin agreed. “She’s not bad. She looks so much like First Aunt. I think we don’t even need to do a DNA test. She’s the girl of the Gu family.”

A young nurse pushed the door open and came in. She said anxiously, “Doctor Gu, the patient just opened his eyes.”

“Ah!” Everyone stood up in surprise.

Gu Lin helped his grandfather up. “Slow down.”

Han Ze picked up Zhizhi and walked towards the ward.

Gu Lin stopped them helplessly. don’t worry. I’ll go in and take a look.

When the doctor-in-charge saw Gu Lin, he quickly said in a low voice, “Doctor Gu, the old lady’s condition is very good. All the indicators have met the standard, which is very rare. I just asked the professors, and they think that it is the calling of the family members that played a crucial role.”

Gu Lin nodded and looked at the number on the device. He then took the record from the doctor-in-charge and looked at it. He was overjoyed. “Okay, I understand. I’ll ask the family to continue doing so.”

He bent over and held his grandmother’s hand. “Grandma, it’s Gu Lin. Can you hear me?”

The instrument beeped. Shi Cui’s breathing was steady, and the oxygen mask had been removed.

“Grandma,” Gu Lin continued, “Let me tell you some good news. Our Zhizhi is back! Uncle and the others have already brought Zhizhi back. Everyone is waiting for you to wake up so that we can hold a grand ceremony for her. Can you hear me? Do you want me to bring Zhizhi over to accompany you?”

The hand in Gu Lin’s hand suddenly moved. Although it was very slight, he still felt it and could not help but be overjoyed.

“Grandma, wait here. I’ll call Zhizhi over.”

He quickly ran out and hugged Zhizhi, saying excitedly, “Zhizhi, Grandma wants to see you!”

“What did you say?” Gu Sen grabbed his grandson.

“Grandpa, wait a moment!” Gu Lin said. “I’ll send Zhizhi in first!”

Zhizhi was once again sent to her grandmother’s bedside.

Gu Lin moved a chair over for her. “Here, Zhizhi. Hold grandma’s hand and tell her you’re here.”

Zhizhi did as she was told and held her grandmother’s hand with both of her small hands. “Grandma, it’s me, Zhizhi. I’m here to keep you company. Don’t be afraid, I’ll always be here with you.”

The child-like voice almost made Gu Lin cry. He saw his grandmother’s hand move slightly again, but Zhizhi did not notice. She was focused on completing her brother’s task — Talking to her Grandma.
