Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Might

"A colleague!" Tu Hengsha said, "You could say he’s a teacher!"

Shu Hui lost interest as soon as she heard he was a teacher, automatically assuming teachers categorized as men in their forties or fifties, divorced or widowed. "How can men take care of patients? They’re all careless! It’s a wonder if they can take care of themselves; usually, they take care of themselves in a haphazard manner."

Really? Tu Hengsha felt that Mr. Su was quite capable of taking care of people. When she was hospitalized, he took care of her quite well and even knew how to build a fire! But on second thought, Mom had a point. Just because Mr. Su could build a fire and boil water didn’t mean he was meticulous. Indeed, boys tended to be more careless. For instance, when she was in the hospital, a certain teacher took care of her, but she also got scolded quite a bit, and all her meals came from takeout...

She thought for a moment, then called Mr. Su.

"Hello?" The other side quickly answered, his voice like a morning after rain—clean but with a chill.

Was Mr. Su upset? Could something have happened to Grandma?

"Mr. Su! How’s Grandma?" she asked quickly.

"Not bad."

That reassured her! "Mr. Su, did you and Grandma have breakfast yet?"

There seemed to be a slight pause on the other end, then two words came through, "Not yet!"

"..." When she was hospitalized in Jin County, he managed to get food delivered on time, didn’t he?

"No takeout services have started yet."

True...

"Then just wait a bit. I’ll pass by the hospital on my way to the news agency, and I’ll bring something for Grandma."

"Great!" The other side accepted without any hesitation.

Shu Hui had no objections to Tu Hengsha bringing breakfast to the teacher and his family. She even reminded her, "Respect your teacher, but also be mindful of keeping your distance; after all, he’s a male teacher!"

"Got it, got it!" Tu Hengsha busily packed, "Mr. Su would rather not get close to me anyway. He wishes to be as far away from me as possible."

"That must mean you’re not working diligently! Not performing well!" Shu Hui seemed ready to criticize.

Tu Hengsha stuck out her tongue, "Mom, I’m heading out!"

Hospital.

Tu Hengsha arrived with breakfast at the hospital room door and knocked gently.

The door opened from the inside, and Su Ronggui stood there, bringing a fresh and clear air with him, his face faintly shadowed against the light.

Tu Hengsha lifted the old-fashioned thermos she was holding and smiled at him, "Breakfast."

He took it, stepping aside to let her in.

Perhaps with the change of angle, his face seemed to catch a slight blush.

Grandma was especially delighted to see her, beckoning her over, holding her hand, patting her hand back, and then feeling her cheek, not wanting to let go.

"Ahem." A clear throat sound came from behind, "Grandma, don’t touch anymore, or you’ll wipe off her makeup; how will she face people then!"

"..." Tu Hengsha stomped her foot in anger, "Grandma! Look at him! Always making fun of me being ugly!"

"Not ugly, not ugly!" Grandma laughed immediately, "My granddaughter is beautiful! Naturally radiant and fresh like a lotus without embellishments—that’s what they mean when they talk about my granddaughter’s looks! He’s doing it on purpose! Don’t mind him! Let me tell you, he was the ugly one as a kid! When he was first born, he had such an upturned nose and a monkey face that even his father didn’t want to acknowledge him! Asked the nurse several times if there was a mix-up! The nurse was so annoyed that she asked his father to get a paternity test!"

Tu Hengsha chuckled, remembering the chubby, round-faced little boy from childhood, and couldn’t connect it with a monkey-faced child with an upturned nose, sneaking a glance back at him. Surprisingly, he wasn’t angry, and his eyes seemed to have two pools of water, clear and soft, as if with a hint of a smile. She really doubted her own eyes!

Still feeling unsatisfied, she glared at him, "Don’t eat my breakfast! I’d rather feed it to a dog than give it to you!" Then, realizing the mistake, she quickly explained to Grandma, "Grandma, I wasn’t talking about you! I meant him!"

"I know, I know!" Grandma laughed, "You’ve worked hard, worrying about both going to work and bringing me breakfast."

"It’s not hard at all! It’s on my way anyway!" Her curiosity piqued, "Grandma, is Mr. Su’s ability to take care of himself more like..." she lowered her voice, "eating takeout as his main survival skill after leaving home?"

Grandma was about to speak when he coughed beside her.

Did he hear that? So what if he did? She turned back and said, "Aren’t I allowed to say? As a journalist, the most fundamental professional ethics are honesty and truthfulness!"

He chuckled, a real chuckle! She wasn’t wrong this time! Even his eyes were laughing!

Grandma then spoke with a grin, "No! He can also make instant noodles!"

This time, Tu Hengsha laughed heartily. Wasn’t that true? When they were trapped in Nan County, his best skill was making instant rice noodles with hot water!

Following that, Grandma began sharing stories by name! Like not knowing how to wash clothes, putting salt instead of detergent! Like once trying to cook for her, ended up making a pot of fried rice without water because he was showing off! Or making fried egg with tomatoes, frying whole tomatoes with unpeeled eggs...

"Ahem!" Su Ronggui coughed again.

Tu Hengsha burst out laughing, "Mr. Su, so you’re the originator of the viral fried egg and tomato dish!"

Mr. Su could only cover his face, "Grandma, wasn’t that an online joke I shared with you last night?"

Tu Hengsha stood up and started preparing breakfast for Grandma with a smile, "Grandma, doesn’t this thermos look ancient? It’s the only one we have and was bought when I was a child! Back then, I used this to bring food to Mom!"

She served the porridge and handed it to Grandma.

Grandma sighed, "Was the girl this capable when she was little?"

"Of course!" She looked back with disdain at a certain teacher’s lack of life skills, "Mr. Su, though morning takeout hasn’t started yet, the hospital cafeteria has food of all kinds and flavors. If you don’t want to buy it, there’s a cart that brings it to the rooms."

"Really? Jin County didn’t have that," he commented casually as he helped himself to an egg pancake, "This is good, has the taste of Grandma’s cooking!"

"Of course, my mom’s cooking is excellent! Especially her rice dumplings..." She remembered the rice dumplings he threw into the trash, feeling her anger coming back, not wanting to speak anymore, questioning her tendency to meddle unnecessarily and forgive too easily! Not wanting to argue with him in front of Grandma, she silently set up breakfast for Grandma and whispered, "Grandma, I’m leaving now."

"Go to work, Gugu, you go too! Xiao Guo is coming soon!" Grandma laughed.

Just as she spoke, Special Care Xiao Guo knocked and entered.

Tu Hengsha glared at Su Ronggui, raising her chin to provoke him, "Dog!" referring to breakfast meant for the dog!

Daring to insult him...

He ate up the last bit of pancake, wiped his hands, and her demeanor in his eyes was like that of a proud, confident little fox, wagging its tail and strutting with arrogance. As for the tiger, naturally, that was Grandma! With Grandma having her back, she was absolutely fearless!
