Chapter 735: Perfect Teamwork

"Xiao Ye is here?" Lu Shan looked rather uncomfortable when she saw Ye Qingbai.

Ye Qingbai smiled and said, "I'm off today, so I came to visit."

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept across the office.

He was searching for his partner.

Bai Zhi, fearing that Lu Shan might misunderstand, hurriedly introduced Ye Qingbai's new identity, "Sister, let me introduce you. He's my cousin, and now he's Shen Qian's boyfriend. He's here to see Shen Qian."

"I see." Lu Shan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She still vividly remembered Ye Qingbai's harassment of her in Nancheng last year, and she must not cause any unnecessary trouble at this time.

She smiled and said, "You two are a perfect match. Be good to Xiaoqian."

Ye Qingbai nodded, "I will."

Ye Qingbai heard that Shen Qian was busy and that it wasn't convenient for him to be there, so he said he was going out to buy something.

Before long, he brought up a lot of snacks and fruits.

When she returned, Shen Qian had already finished fumigating the patient.

When Shen Qian saw the snacks and fruits Ye Qingbai bought, she smiled and said, "Sister Lu Shan is here. You have good taste; you even know to buy things."

Ye Qingbai joked, "I've always been very perceptive, okay?"

He looked at Shen Qian expectantly and asked, "Are you done with your work?"

"Um."

"Then you can announce the good news to everyone." He stood next to Shen Qian, looking smug.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi's eyes widened, her expression expectant. "Wow, what good news do you have? Tell me quickly."

Ye Qingbai looked at Shen Qian, raised his chin, and gestured for her to speak.

Shen Qian coughed lightly and replied, "My mother wrote a letter, and she agrees to my relationship with Ye Qingbai."

Ye Qingbai added happily, "Not only did he agree, but he's also urging us to get married soon. I've already called my dad and told him to prepare the betrothal gifts as soon as possible. Next time we take a vacation, we'll go back to Nancheng and finalize the wedding arrangements."

Bai Zhi was also very happy to hear their words, "Congratulations!"

Lu Shan also congratulated them.

Seeing the two sunny and cheerful young people together, she looked very pleased.

That's what you call a perfect match.

Bai Zhi was initially worried that Ye Qingbai would feel awkward seeing Lu Shan.

Surprisingly, they showed absolutely no awkwardness or embarrassment.

She felt relieved.

Ye Qingbai is currently immersed in the sweetness of love and doesn't care about the awkwardness at all.

Of course, he has an outgoing personality and is not the type to be shy or timid.

Once you understand and let go, you'll have nothing on your mind.

Ye Qingbai glanced at his watch; it was almost midnight. He said, "It's time to get off work, right? Let's go out to a restaurant for dinner. It's on me."

Bai Zhi spoke up, "Cousin, you and Xiaoqian go eat. My sister and I have some things to do, so we'll eat at the hospital cafeteria. We have work to do this afternoon. You two can go out for a walk this afternoon. Xiaoqian doesn't have to go to work."

Shen Qian disagreed, saying, "You're all at work, how can I go out and have fun?"

"It's the weekend, you shouldn't have come. Alright, you guys go on your date, there's nothing going on at the studio. We need to go to the hospital's inpatient ward for some business."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Shen Qian could only reply, "Okay, then."

Ye Qingbai was eager for Shen Qian to rest, so he happily took her away.

Bai Zhi and Lu Shan went to the hospital cafeteria. After eating, Lu Shan even got some meals for patients.

She said to Bai Zhi, "Then I'll go first."

"good."

When Lu Shan arrived at the ward, Gu Jingyi had just finished his IV drip and the nurse was removing the needle.

"It's time to eat."

Gu Jingyi was overjoyed to finally see her. A great joy welled up in his heart, a feeling of happiness that came after something was lost.

This time, he didn't push her away coldly like he did yesterday.

Instead, she obediently replied, "Okay."

Lu Shan fed him, and he opened his mouth very cooperatively.

After finishing her meal, Lu Shan asked the nurse for a new hospital gown. Then she fetched a basin of water and washed his body as she had done the day before. Although he was still very embarrassed and awkward, he did not protest at all and let her do as she pleased.

When she was changing his clothes, he obediently raised his arm and cooperated with her.

"Thanks a lot."

"I'm a doctor, it's my duty."

Lu Shan only took care of him and didn't say anything else. He didn't confess or apologize to him like he did yesterday, or even express his feelings.

At this point, saying anything more is useless; let her make amends to him through her actions.

As for the rest, she stopped thinking about it and decided to wait until he recovered.

Hasn't she been thinking like this every day for the past two years?

As long as he comes back alive, what does it matter if they can't be together? She just wants him to live.

Lu Shan remained silent, but Gu Jingyi finally broke the silence, "What time will Dr. Bai come for acupuncture this afternoon?"

"Yesterday it was 2:30. If she's willing to come today, it should be around that time."

When asked about yesterday, Gu Jingyi hesitated and said, "I'm sorry about yesterday, my attitude was bad."

"It's okay, you're a patient, it's understandable that you're emotional."

Lu Shan's answer was very official.

After he finished speaking, he did not reply.

When she has free time, she sits in a chair and reads a book.

She didn't initiate conversation with him.

Gu Jingyi couldn't help himself and tried to find topics to chat with her about.

Lu Shan would always respond with "uh-huh" or "yeah".

Although she was a woman of few words, she took meticulous care of him.

She would help him turn over on time, check his wounds, and change his dressings herself.

They arrived late, carrying a first-aid kit, at 3 p.m.

She didn't say anything extra, and just performed acupuncture as usual.

Overnight, their attitudes toward him changed.

Gu Jingyi was relieved that they came.

I am willing to continue his treatment.

There is hope as long as treatment continues.

If what Political Commissar Zhang said is true, only Bai Zhi and her maternal grandfather currently possess the medical skills to detoxify.

So, his life was truly in their hands.

Gu Jingyi cooperated and finished the acupuncture treatment.

He was about to say something when Bai Zhi looked at Lu Shan and said, "Sister, I'm leaving now. If anything happens, feel free to come find me."

"good."

Gu Jingyi spoke up, "Dr. Xiaobai, thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm a medical professional from the military hospital who's here to treat patients for a fee. You should be thanking someone else, not me."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she picked up her medical kit and left.

After Bai Zhi left, Gu Jingyi turned to look at Lu Shan.

He had naturally taken Bai Zhi's words to heart.

The person he should thank is right in front of him.

"Thank you," he said awkwardly.

"You don't need to be so polite with me. I'm a doctor too, and I'm just doing my job."

Lu Shan's reply remained very formal. After speaking, she began tidying up the room.

Gu Jingyi's gaze followed her.

She is thinner than she was two years ago.

His eyes were also full of sadness.

It's all because of him.
