It seemed that he ordered all her favourite dishes.

The same thing happened this time too.

She felt curious and asked Gui Xi, “Doctor Gui, you and Mr.

Lu have been good friends for many years, right?”

Gui Xi raised an eyebrow, “We’ve known each other since we were in diapers.

Does that count as many years?

But I’m two years older than him, and we’ve always treated each-other like brothers.

Why do you ask?”

Nanxi knitted her brows, and said, “Then you must understand his tastes very well…”

“I suppose so!”

“Then, I want to ask you, are these dishes all the ones Mr.

Lu usually likes to eat?”

Gui Xi squinted at the small stacks of dishes on the small table, looking puzzled.

“Actually, yes.

He usually prefers bland foods.

He really likes southern cuisine.

These dishes really do suit his taste…”

“Oh.” Nanxi’s doubts were dispelled.

So…

it was a coincidence after all!

Over there, Gui Xi narrowed his eyes, asking her, “What’s wrong?

Don’t they suit your taste?”

“No, it’s not that!” Nanxi explained.

“I was just asking casually.

Thank you, Doctor Gui!”

…

After finishing her meal, Nanxi felt much more energetic and wanted to be discharged.

It was just a fever, it wasn’t that serious, but Gui Xi didn’t allow it.

Gui Xi said, “Though your fever has mostly gone down, you are much too weak.

It is really not suitable for you to be discharged so hastily.

Moreover, when Yinchu left, he entrusted you to my care.

I have to be responsible for you!”

Nanxi frowned.

She wasn’t sure if Lu Yinchu had clarified the nature of their relationship to his group of friends, but regarding this point, she couldn’t make the decision herself.

She decided to keep quiet.

Saying too much could lead to mistakes.

Nanxi didn’t resist anymore.

She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

Gui Xi’s lips curved up slightly.

Without saying anything else, he left.

After Nanxi fell asleep, her body was exhausted, her spirit was tired, and when she woke up, the room was already a bit dim.

She opened her eyes and noticed a figure by her bed.

She focused her eyes and after a while, she recognised that it was Lu Yinchu.

She subconsciously shrank back, then someone turned on the light, and his handsome face came into clear view.

“Awake?

Are you feeling better?”

“Much better!” she replied.

Actually, she was lying a little.

Since she was a child, she has been very afraid of going to the hospital, especially when it comes to injections.

Because her blood vessels are too thin, nurses who aren’t very experienced often can’t find her veins!

As a result, she had to suffer a lot.

In order not to go to the hospital, she often exercises to keep herself from getting sick easily.

However, who in this world never falls sick?

Moreover, there’s an unscientific saying: People who don’t fall sick easily often get very sick when they do fall sick!

Nanxi didn’t comment.

Luckily, she doesn’t have any serious illnesses.

It’s just that every time she gets sick, her recovery is slower than the average person.

So at present, her whole body aches and she doesn’t have any strength.

She also feels soft and weak.

How could she say she’s much better?

“That’s good!” There seemed to be a bit of helplessness in the man’s voice, but his expression didn’t show it.

He asked her, “What do you feel like eating for dinner?”

Nanxi thought for a moment and really didn’t want to stay in the hospital.

So, she asked, “Can I go out to eat?”

Lu Yinchu frowned, “You’re too weak!

But, if you don’t mind me carrying you there and back, I can agree to that!”

“That’s not what I meant!”

Because of the kiss that morning, Nanxi felt a bit uneasy when facing Lu Yinchu!

“Huh?” Lu Yinchu deliberately pretended to be confused.

He adopted an expression that said “I don’t understand what you’re saying”.

Nanxi then said, “That, I want to recover at my uncle’s house, is that okay?”

“Nanxi!” Lu Yinchu took a deep breath, then looked deeply into her eyes and said calmly, “Don’t take a mile when I give an inch!”

Take a mile when given an inch?

What did he mean by that?

Where did the “inch” or “mile” come from?

Nanxi knitted her brows and said nothing!

She used her silence to protest!

Lu Yinchu’s lips curled up as he looked at her, “If you find it boring in the hospital, I can ask Qingtian to come and keep you company!”

Nanxi was stunned.

Did she think that the reason she didn’t want to stay in the hospital was because she was afraid of being bored?

What kind of thought process does this man have!

“No need, I’m not bored.

I just don’t like being in the hospital!” Nanxi said, sounding a bit harsh.

“If you don’t like it, then don’t get yourself sick.

I’ll let you stay here to learn a lesson so that you know to take care of yourself in the future!”

This tone, it felt like an older person scolding a younger one.

Nanxi was extremely uncomfortable when she heard it!

She wasn’t that close with Lu Yinchu!

Just then, someone pushed the door and entered.

It was Gui Xi and two nurses.

Seeing Lu Yinchu, Gui Xi raised an eyebrow, “Yinchu, you’re quite a diligent visitor!”

Lu Yinchu threw a glare at Gui Xi, making him immediately shut up.

Gui Xi then turned to Nanxi, his gaze gentle, “Nanxi, are you feeling better?”

Nanxi nodded, “Thank you, Doctor Gui, I’m much better!”

Gui Xi smiled and asked the two nurses to examine Nanxi while he sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.

As he drank, he said, “Check her carefully.

Miss Nanxi is my…

friend!”

“Ahem!” Nanxi was somewhat taken aback.

She had just met Gui Xi.

They were just doctor and patient.

When did they become…

friends!

Nanxi looked up and stole a glance at Lu Yinchu.

She saw that he had already turned his head to look at Gui Xi.

Gui Xi then pulled in his neck and stopped speaking!

Lu Yinchu’s phone rang.

He excused himself to take the call.

Before he left, he gave Gui Xi a look, as if to say “don’t talk nonsense!”

The two nurses examined her very carefully.

There were no major issues, just that her body was weak and she needed to rest for a couple of days.

They suggested it was better for her to stay in the hospital because her constitution was somewhat unusual!

Nanxi furrowed her brows, “Doctor Gui, I don’t want to stay in the hospital.

I want to go home and rest.

I have family there!”

When she wanted to go home just now, she was stopped by Lu Yinchu.

Nanxi thought that it would be better to get the doctor’s permission first.

If even the doctor agreed, what could Lu Yinchu say?

Gui Xi furrowed his brows, then said, “Home rest…

of course it’s possible!

But Nanxi, you know, I’m really in a bit of a bind here!”

Nanxi frowned.

Did he mean that he was Lu Yinchu’s good friend and couldn’t go against his wishes?

Wasn’t that over the top!

Lu Yinchu walked in, holding his phone.

He glanced at Gui Xi on the sofa, then at Nanxi on the bed.

His voice was cold, “If you want to be discharged, you can, but all the arrangements have to be made by me!”

When Nanxi heard that she could be discharged, she was naturally happy, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, as long as I can be discharged, anything goes!”

The man’s lips curved up slightly, “Good, I’ll arrange your discharge procedure immediately!”

After saying that, he turned to Gui Xi, “Take care of her while I’m gone!”

Xiaowu rushing to a double update.

How many people remember that before I started, I said I would only have double updates for 5 days this month.

But now it’s already been 9 days.

Please don’t skip the chapter, I’ll be heartbroken~~~(┬＿┬)
