Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Love at First Sight in Medicine (Part 31)
“Hmm, I won’t.”
Compared to the previous Han Jing, Miss Lu Ailing prefers Yuk Jian.
It’s not just because he’s handsome; Yuk Jian’s knowledge and manners are unmatched by Han Jing.
It’s just surprising that someone like him would be interested in Xiao Chu.
It’s not that she thinks Xiao Chu is bad, but her health…
Who in their right mind would make a burden of themselves?
–
After observing for a few days, Lu Ailing found that Yuk Jian was indeed very good to Chuzheng, and she felt slightly relieved.
“No cold drinks.” Yuk Jian took the cup from Chuzheng’s hand, “How many times have I told you?”
Chuzheng: “…”
Yuk Jian placed a cup of hot water in Chuzheng’s hand, “How do you feel today?”
“Pretty good.”
“The last time you said pretty good, and what happened then?” Yuk Jian’s tone was a bit cold.
“…”
What can I do if my heart has a mind of its own!
This isn’t something I can control!!
It’s not my fault!!!
Chuzheng took advantage of Yuk Jian bending over to give him a peck on the cheek.
Yuk Jian glanced at her, didn’t say anything, and raised his hand to ruffle her hair, “Control your emotions.”
Chuzheng: “…”
She’s very good at controlling her emotions.
Don’t touch my head!!
“Xiao Chu.” Miss Lu Ailing came in from the doorway, carrying breakfast, “Doctor Yuk is here too? I brought some breakfast; would Doctor Yuk like to join us?”
“Thank you, Auntie, but I’m still working, so I won’t join you for breakfast.”
Yuk Jian politely refused, carefully advising Chuzheng to be cautious while eating.
After Yuk Jian left, Miss Lu Ailing smiled and said, “Doctor Yuk is really good to you.”
“…”
Good, huh.
He’s always meddling with everything, just short of controlling what I wear!
This time, Chuzheng might have had a temporary issue. After being hospitalized for a while, her condition slowly returned to normal.
Miss Lu Ailing stayed with Chuzheng for a period until she was almost ready to be discharged, and only then did Miss Lu Ailing leave.
Before leaving, she went to find Yuk Jian.
“Doctor Yuk.”
“Auntie.” Yuk Jian stood up, his attitude respectful, “Is there something you need?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing, I just wanted to have a chat with you.”
Yuk Jian gestured for Lu Ailing to sit down and poured her a glass of water, “What would you like to talk to me about?”
“I’m relieved knowing Xiao Chu is with you. Regarding the heart donor issue, I’ll have to trouble you to work hard; money is not a problem…”
Yuk Jian nodded, “I will.”
“There’s one more thing I hope you can agree to, Auntie.”
“Please, go ahead.”
“Xiao Chu is living alone now. Although Aunt Lin helps take care of her, it’s still worrisome. You’re a professional; could you let Xiao Chu live with you? Auntie knows it’s a bit selfish…”
“It’s fine,” Yuk Jian said, “As long as you trust me, I have no issues.”
“Uh…” Miss Lu Ailing rarely found herself at a loss for words, “Th-thank you.”
A soft glow appeared in Yuk Jian’s deep eyes, “It’s no trouble; I’m very willing to take care of her.”
–
When Chuzheng was discharged, Yuk Jian took her directly to his apartment.
Chuzheng was puzzled, “Aren’t you taking me home?”
“Auntie wants you to stay with me.” Yuk Jian said while unlocking the door, “It’s convenient for taking care of you.”
Mum’s wish!
Chuzheng followed Yuk Jian inside, and he handed her a set of keys, “Backup keys to the house; I’ll set up your fingerprints later.”
Having not been to the apartment for a while during her hospitalization, Chuzheng found that the style had changed—it was much more lively than before?
“Why did you change the apartment like this?”
“The previous style was too oppressive; not good for your mood.”
Chuzheng paused for a moment, “I preferred the previous style.”
“…”
Yuk Jian put her belongings in the room, “I’ll go fetch your things in the afternoon, and I’ve already bought all the daily necessities.”
When Chuzheng checked the bathroom, sure enough, everything had become double.
She wandered to the room, watching Yuk Jian make the bed, “Aren’t you staying with me?”
The hand shaking out the bed sheet stiffened for a moment, and then he lowered his head, speaking softly, “Don’t overthink.”
Chuzheng: “???”
What am I overthinking?
Yuk Jian finished making the bed and installed an air purifier in Chuzheng’s room.
“Don’t lock the door at night, otherwise I can’t check on your condition at any time,” Yuk Jian instructed Chuzheng.
“Then why don’t you just stay with me?”
“…”
Are you trying to kill me!
Yuk Jian tapped her lightly on the forehead, turned around, and headed to the kitchen to prepare some food for her.
Chuzheng stared at his back, lost in thought.
All she could do in the end was silently mutter: Lousy setup!
Living at Yuk Jian’s, since he worked, Aunt Lin still came over to help Chuzheng with cooking and laundry.
Yuk Jian tried to get off work as early as possible.
Chuzheng didn’t care about when he got off work. Ever since he insisted she sleep early, she never went to the hospital to pick him up, and by the time he came home, she was usually sound asleep.
Yuk Jian could only watch her for a moment, at most giving her a kiss on the forehead before heading to his own room.
What frustrated Yuk Jian was that random costly items constantly appeared in his room.
And it wasn’t just one or two items scattered around; they always came in heaps…
He once suspected they were bought from a roadside wholesale shop.
She then began to tinker with the appliances and furniture, daily leaving him surprised by their changes.
Luckily, she only tampered with those things and didn’t touch his.
Returning past midnight one day, Yuk Jian gingerly opened the door, glanced at Chuzheng’s room after putting down his things, then went to his room to wash and sleep.
Consciousness muddled, he sensed someone beside him, abruptly waking up.
“Xiao Chu?”
“Mm.” Seeing him awake, Chuzheng snuggled up beside him.
“Why did you come to my room?” Yuk Jian turned to look at her.
“Just to sleep,” Chuzheng reached out and hugged him.
Yuk Jian: “???”
“Go back to your room.”
“Try and push me,” Chuzheng’s tone had a sinister edge, clearly intending to exert sickly tyranny.
Yuk Jian didn’t dare fuss with Chuzheng, “Then I’ll go sleep in your room.” Can’t provoke her, can dodge!
As he was about to get up, Chuzheng clung tightly, “Yuk Jian, I just want to hold you, nothing else.”
Why can’t a Good Person Card allow me to hug!
Annoyed!
[Socialist core values do not allow this!]
“…” Shut up! Scram!
Yuk Jian rubbed his forehead, daring she wants more!?
He glanced down at the arms clutching him, “Promise, no funny business.”
“Mm.”
“Swear it.”
“You’re such a pain.”
“Hurry up.”
“… I swear!” Chuzheng said through gritted teeth, “Enough?”
Only then did Yuk Jian lay back down, placing his arm under her head to serve as her pillow, “Go to sleep now.”
Chuzheng behaved herself, fully aware of her body’s shortcomings, not attempting anything, and her breaths soon evened out.
Yuk Jian stared at the ceiling, unsure when he finally fell asleep.
