Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Love at First Sight in Medicine (Part 20)
Yuk Jian pulled down his mask, a cold frost settling between his elegant eyebrows: “Why did you rush over? Have you thought about what would happen if that person stabbed you?”
“I didn’t think about it,” Chuzheng said, “I couldn’t watch you get hurt.”
This was totally an accident! I’m really awesome!! It’s all the bastard’s fault for giving me such a lousy body.
Yuk Jian: “You should protect yourself, not…”
“I am doing it to protect you.”
Yuk Jian’s ears buzzed, and a strange ache stirred in his heart, his fingertips curling slightly.
“I… don’t need your protection.” He didn’t need it.
“But I need to protect you.” Because you’re a Good Person Card! Otherwise, who would want to protect you?
Yuk Jian looked at the girl on the hospital bed, then seemed to flee in defeat.
“Doctor Yuk, Doctor Yuk?”
“Hey, what’s up with Doctor Yuk?”
“No idea…”
Yuk Jian returned to his office, sat in the chair calmly for a long time, yet Chuzheng’s words kept echoing in his ears.
No one has ever said they could protect him… Neither his father nor his mother.
They taught him only how to conduct himself, how to be the best among his peers.
Their concern was always for his grades.
“Doctor Yuk… Doctor Yuk?”
Yuk Jian was awakened, checked the time — did he fall asleep?
“You’re still on vacation, no need to be here.” The doctor across from him said, “You should leave first.”
Yuk Jian raised his hand to his forehead, slowly saying, “I’m fine, are you on duty today?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll cover your shift.” Yuk Jian said.
–
Chuzheng informed Aunt Lin but told her not to let Miss Lu Ailing know, or she would keep calling endlessly.
Aunt Lin was caring for Chuzheng in the hospital. Yuk Jian didn’t show up again, only the nurse came by a few times, likely instructed by Yuk Jian, or she wouldn’t be this frequent.
Aunt Lin stayed in the ward overnight, and when Yuk Jian arrived, he happened to catch Aunt Lin answering a call.
He went into the ward to check, and Chuzheng had already fallen asleep.
Yuk Jian stood by the bed, and Aunt Lin hadn’t returned for a while. His palm tentatively fell on Chuzheng’s forehead.
It just barely touched, and he quickly withdrew.
He lowered his head looking at his palm, it didn’t feel as bad as he imagined.
“Doctor Yuk?”
Aunt Lin called from behind.
Yuk Jian immediately withdrew his hand and turned around, lowering his voice: “I just came to check, rest well.”
Aunt Lin hesitated, her complexion slightly anxious: “I… have an urgent matter at home, Doctor Yuk, could you please keep an eye on Xiao Chu?”
Yuk Jian was taken aback, then nodded after a moment: “I can.”
“Thank you.”
Aunt Lin quickly gathered her things and hurried away.
Yuk Jian checked the time and sat in the chair within the ward. In between, a nurse came to find him, and after Yuk Jian left, he returned again until morning.
Maybe due to the physical condition, coupled with medication effects, Chuzheng seemed especially sleepy. The next day she woke to find the ward empty.
Aunt Lin left her a message, saying there was an emergency at home.
With Aunt Lin not around, no one brought breakfast. Chuzheng was about to order delivery when Yuk Jian came in from outside.
“Awake?”
Yuk Jian pulled the table over and placed the items he was holding: “Breakfast from the canteen, would you like to eat a bit first?”
Yuk Jian paused: “Or what would you like to eat?”
“I’m not picky.” Chuzheng got up to wash, began eating soon after: “You started work?”
“…” Yuk Jian’s vacation wasn’t over, but he didn’t say anything, implicitly agreeing with her word: “Eat slowly; I’ll go get busy, call the nurse to clean up when you’re done…”
“Okay.” Chuzheng waved him off.
Yuk Jian: “…”
Maybe because Yuk Jian was frequenting the ward and there were already rumors about them, a nurse couldn’t help gossiping with Chuzheng, asking her what kind of relationship she had with Doctor Yuk.
“What do you think our relationship is?”
The nurse shook her head: “Hard to say, can you give a hint?”
“Doctor and patient.”
“I don’t believe it, Doctor Yuk’s vacation was until next week, he suddenly switched shifts yesterday. This has never happened before; it’s definitely for you, right?” The nurse winked, “Tell me your relationship, I swear, I won’t tell anyone.”
“For now, just doctor and patient.”
Chuzheng’s response was only this. The nurse’s gossip was not satisfied, but it didn’t stop her from imagining and spreading ‘rumors.’
When Yuk Jian heard this, his expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Yuk Jian took a moment to come to Chuzheng’s ward: “What did you say to them?”
“Nothing much.”
“They say we are dating!”
“Oh.” Chuzheng tilted her head, seriously asked: “Do you want to date me?”
Yuk Jian took a deep breath: “Do you like me?”
Chuzheng nodded: “I like you.” You’re my Good Person Card, of course, I like you.
“Do you know me? Do you know my likes and dislikes? Do you know what kind of person I am?”
“…”
“You don’t know me, what do you like about me?” Yuk Jian was very calm: “Miss Mi, you can’t just look superficially, liking someone can’t just be for their appearance.”
“…” Though you’re good-looking, that’s not why I like you.
If you weren’t my Good Person Card, who would bother with you?!
Who’s just looking at the surface!
Am I such a shallow person?
Seeing Chuzheng silent, Yuk Jian feared provoking her, softened his tone: “I can agree to try interacting and understanding, but we’re not dating, is that okay?”
“What if I say it’s not okay?”
“…”
Yuk Jian had already taken a step back, if Chuzheng disagreed, he couldn’t do anything but continue avoiding her.
In the end, Chuzheng glanced at him, finally nodded agreeing to Yuk Jian’s proposal.
Good Person Card must endure!
Good Person Card must be cherished!
The heart aches.
Yuk Jian exhaled: “I’ll be off work shortly, if you need anything, call the nurse or Doctor Hou.”
–
Perhaps because Yuk Jian agreed to interact and understand Chuzheng, during work, he would personally handle things and occasionally bring food to Chuzheng.
Finally, when Chuzheng was discharged, everyone in the hospital had already assumed the two were dating.
Yuk Jian didn’t explain anything, the more explanation the less convincing.
Yuk Jian sent Chuzheng off, returning to the office.
“Doctor Yuk.”
The nurse ran over, holding a bag that looked familiar to Yuk Jian.
“This is Miss Mi’s item left behind.” The nurse handed the bag to him.
The bag contained only a small box, inside were two cufflinks.
“I will pass it on to her.”
The nurse covered her mouth, giggling as she ran off.
Yuk Jian: “…”
Yuk Jian went into the office with the items, examined the box, and found a faint logo on the bottom. He casually checked, discovering it was a luxury brand.
