He wasn’t bad-looking either, and he hadn’t done anything to her, so why did it seem like she was always avoiding him?
He had never been treated by anyone before.
In fact, he felt pretty good about himself, as he had never been disliked by anyone. Except for that Su Yide, who he disliked himself.
Now that it was summer, being covered with a cotton blanket definitely indicated something was off. As a professional doctor, Ou Yanan couldn’t ignore it, so he reached out his hand and gently brushed the bangs from her forehead to touch her skin.
Being so close, he could almost smell the fragrance of her hair, reminiscent of a lemon’s essence that seemed to come naturally with summer.
That scent, it felt like he often smelled it somewhere.
Ou Yanan slightly frowned and turned to Tang Sili, who was already sprawled over the office desk writing medical records, and said, "Professor, it looks like she has a fever. Should we do something about it?"
Without even lifting his head, Tang Sili said, "Are you very worried about her?"
Ou Yanan was taken aback, "No, isn’t she your patient?"
"She is my patient," Tang Sili slowly yawned, appearing tired after rushing back to the hospital for a middle-of-the-night shift that had caused so much commotion.
What he found odd was that this young man, his student, only had in mind that back at Ou Yanan’s age, he generally went straight to find a bed to sleep after finishing operations in the middle of the night, but at this moment, Ou Yanan seemed preoccupied with something else, showing no sign of sleepiness.
Stretching languidly, Tang Sili’s eyes slowly drifted across his student’s face, capturing that trace of confusion, his lips pursed as he said, "If you’re really worried about her, take a thermometer and measure her temperature. Just using your hand isn’t accurate and can’t be used as a medical basis for prescribing medication."
"No, it’s not that I—" Ou Yanan began, struggling to find the words to argue.
He felt it wasn’t like that, but for some reason, he couldn’t think of the right words to refute Tang Sili’s statement.
Obviously, Tang Sili was just enjoying watching his student’s confused expression, and he didn’t plan to entertain him any further.
After standing there for a long while, Ou Yanan suddenly realized that his teacher’s true nature could only be described in two words:
But in the end, he was also a smart student. As his teacher, Tang Sili undoubtedly possessed exceedingly high medical skill that he temporarily could not surpass. Since Tang Sili had not spoken up about immediate action, it was likely that by Tang Sili’s professional judgment, there was no need for it at the moment.
Therefore, Gu Nuan felt the suffocating presence that had been standing beside her bed finally leave.
The feeling both relieved her and caused a slight tightening in her heart.
Unconsciously, she drifted back to sleep.
Xiao Yebai, whose wife had just hung up on him, furrowed his handsome brows and turned to look out the airplane window.
Zang Xiaolian didn’t know what was going on with him.
Normally, after hearing Gu Nuan’s voice, Xiao Yebai’s reaction should have been one of high spirits.
It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but Zang Xiaolian could clearly feel from Xiao Yebai what was referred to as the charm of "absence makes the heart grow fonder."
"Big brother, how’s sister-in-law?" Zang Xiaolian finally couldn’t help asking, worried.
"Your sister-in-law—" Xiao Yebai looked indescribably troubled.
Zang Xiaolian felt scared because of his expression, "Big brother, don’t tell me sister-in-law is—"
"What is she not?" Xiao Yebai, realizing what he was thinking, glared at him fiercely. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
"Since sister-in-law is okay—" Zang Xiaolian swallowed nervously, "why can’t you say what’s on your mind, big brother?"
