Genius Fundamentals

Everyone believes Lin Zhao Xi’s a genius.

Only she knows she’s looking back on years of experience in math competitions as a basis to “cheat”.

Until one day, her idol quietly looks at h...

Chapter 70 Yearning

The debridement room was just upstairs and downstairs away. Pei Zhi led the way and they walked straight to the elevator.

The boy walked slowly on the outside without any extra support, but he deliberately slowed down his pace and had just the right attitude.

The elevator door opened, and Lin Chaoxi walked in in a daze. It was not until she saw the elegant figure reflected by the metal walls that she realized that Pei Zhi was indeed accompanying her to clean the wound.

Pei Zhi glanced at the button and pressed the number 3.

The elevator was cramped but bright. He walked to her side and stood in front of her, just in time to block the man in front of her who was carrying a lot of bags. He was really a responsible companion.

The elevator started moving again, and there was a mechanical hum in the air.

Lin Zhaoxi raised her head slightly and could see the boy's profile. He had a natural look on his face, and his slightly cold eyes were fixed on the indicator lights on the floor. The ceiling lights were bright, and a large beam of light fell right on him, making him look even clearer and brighter.

It seemed like not long ago, they often walked side by side like this, but they were still very young at that time, and every time they walked together, they always had a lot to talk about.

Although Pei Zhi doesn't talk much, he doesn't let the long journey be boring.

It won't be like it is now, maintaining a perfect distance between strangers.

The journey was short, and when Lin Zhaoxi looked away, the elevator had already stopped. The door opened, and she followed the crowd out of the elevator, with Pei Zhi walking a little behind her.

"Little girl, do you know where to do a gastroscopy?" She was stopped after taking only two steps.

The people who asked for directions were a middle-aged couple. Lin Chaoxi subconsciously looked at the floor guide posted on the wall.

"8th floor." Pei Zhi's clear voice rang out.

"Ohhh, thank you!"

"You're welcome." The boy nodded and added seriously: "Take elevator No. 2 to the 8th floor, then go to the right after exiting the elevator and walk 30 meters to the right."

He pointed to the location of Elevator No. 2, and the middle-aged couple thanked him twice and rushed to catch the elevator.

Pei Zhi still walked outside and led the way.

"Have you ever had a gastroscopy? I remember it very clearly." Lin Zhaoxi said casually.

"no."

"Then I've been there with my family." She felt that she was starting to get awkward, but she really didn't seem to know what to say.

"No." Pei Zhi glanced at her and replied, "I saw it when I came in."

Well, when you enter...is that densely packed floor plan of the hospital lobby?

Lin Chaoxi stared at Pei Zhi. She finally understood why Pei Zhi didn't even look at the instructions when he was leading the way, because he remembered everything after just one glance.

Being with my idol really saves me a lot of trouble. Lin Chaoxi felt numb.

After just two steps, we arrived at the debridement room.

Compared to when she first came, there are a lot fewer people here, with only a mother and son left.

The little boy had two big red cuts on his knees. He had fallen down like her and was crying loudly while hugging his mother's neck, refusing to let go.

Seeing her and Pei Zhi come in, the doctor seemed to have found a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Baby, it really doesn't hurt. Doctor, I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, I'll clean the wound and apply medicine for you. Baby, take a look?"

Lin Chaoxi stood still at the door, as if struck by lightning.

Before she could react, the female doctor came over, grabbed her, and dragged her directly to the debridement table.

The little boy also became smart. He stopped crying when he heard this and just stared at her with his dark and moist eyes.

It really requires acting skills to pretend that it doesn't hurt when cleaning the wound with saline.

Lin Zhaoxi smiled awkwardly: "Doctor, I don't think my condition is serious. How about we just not treat it?"

She wanted to escape after she finished speaking, but Pei Zhi blocked her escape route and she was immediately stopped by the doctor.

"No, that won't work. You are the most seriously ill of the ones I saw this afternoon."

The doctor's hands were very strong. Lin Chaoxi had no chance to break free and was pressed down on the chair in front of the debridement table.

"Help me, the previous one was howling so loudly that the whole floor could hear it. The child is scared and has been crying for more than ten minutes. I promise to do it gently for you. Don't scream, it will be quick." The doctor whispered in his ear, then put on gloves, opened a bottle of saline, and directly flushed the wound on her arm.

Lin Chaoxi was still looking at Pei Zhi at first, but as soon as the cold salt water touched the wound, her tears immediately welled up. She gritted her teeth, forced her eyes away, and stared at the logo on the doctor's white coat.

From now on, I will never come to this hospital.

"Does it hurt?" the doctor asked while flushing.

"No, it hurts." Lin Chaoxi said word by word.

"Look, baby, it really doesn't hurt." the doctor shouted.

With his back to the door, tears flowed down his cheeks, completely out of control. Lin Chaoxi didn't dare to look back. His mind was full of thoughts, "I want to scream so much, it hurts so much, Pei Zhi is watching too, I can't scream, I have to hold it in."

But just as the doctor said, she cleaned it up really quickly, using tweezers to remove the last stubborn debris, and after cleaning it again, she started applying medication.

"Isn't it fast?" The doctor turned around and said to the child after coaxing her, "Lie down on the debridement bed, I'll wash your legs."

Lin Chaoxi stood up numbly and walked to the bed numbly. When she was about to lie down, she saw her bare legs and stopped.

She was dressed lightly today, her jeans and T-shirt were not long enough, and it would be awkward for her to lie down.

The doctor took one look at her, understood what was going on, and went back to draw the curtains.

The little boy outside suddenly shouted, "Stop pulling, I want to see!"

Lin Chaoxi's face was filled with tears and she was complaining in her heart, but she didn't dare to turn around and say anything. She could only stand there silently.

"Sister, you need to lie down." the doctor advised.

"It must be painful so you won't let me see it. I want to see it, I want to see it!"

"Can't."

At this moment, a calm male voice suddenly sounded.

"It's not convenient for boys to see girls when they are lying down," he said.

Lin Chaoxi's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't turn around, but she seemed to be able to see the wrinkles on Pei Zhi's white shirt when he leaned over slightly, and the way he explained every word very seriously.

She blushed.

"Yes, baby, we can't look at your sister when she is lying down. Be polite." Mom also hurriedly said.

"Let's wait outside." Pei Zhi said.

The doctor quickly closed the blue curtain. Lin Chaoxi looked past his head and could only see his back as he led the mother and child out of the debridement room.

He has a straight figure and is very graceful.

——

There was absolutely no one watching, so Lin Chaoxi could finally hiss quietly.

Using saline and a brush, the brown abrasions were gradually cleaned, revealing the pink flesh underneath.

The smell of various disinfectants mixed together, and Lin Chaoxi's thoughts were in a mess, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking. The doctor applied the medicine to her and put on gauze, and the debridement was finally completed.

They walked out of the door, Pei Zhi leaned against the opposite wall and slowly stood up.

"It's okay." Lin Chaoxi had wiped away her tears before coming out and said to Pei Zhi with a smile.

The boy's dark eyes drooped a little, as if he scanned her from head to toe. After confirming that she was correct, he nodded and raised his hand.

It was a bottle of drink. He held the bottle with his five slender white fingers, pinched the bottle cap with his other hand, twisted it open, and then passed it to me.

Lin Chaoxi was stunned again.

The water was still in the air, and there was a cute cartoon pattern on the bottle. After a while, she realized that Pei Zhi had bought a bottle specifically for her to drink, and she quickly reached out for it.

The fingers touch lightly, then separate and take.

She lowered her head and opened the loose bottle cap smoothly.

Her eyes fell on her wrist, and she thought of the Transformers digital watch. The only thing that was clear was that Pei Zhizhen was the same gentleman as always, whether he was a child or now...

"VC water, it's good, you can drink it to replenish sugar." The doctor said at the side, pretending to hold the little boy and talking casually to attract the boy's attention, "Come to change the dressing in two days. Avoid spicy food, eat something light, and don't let the wound get wet. There are some other precautions, write them down and remember to remind her." She looked at Pei Zhi and walked into the debridement room while speaking. Her acting skills were first-rate.

By the time the boy came to his senses, he was already being pressed onto the wound debridement table.

"It really doesn't hurt. Look, sister didn't scream just now." The doctor said as he opened the saline solution.

Lin Chaoxi held the drink bottle, turned around and took a few quick steps.

"Big, liar!"

The little boy's heart-wrenching howl echoed through the wall. Lin Chaoxi took a sip of his drink and almost laughed out loud.

——

In the orthopedic clinic, Lu Zhihao had just finished applying plaster.

Huajuan was joking with him. When he looked up again, Pei Zhi came back alone with his hands in his pockets.

"You're back soon, Brother Pei. Where's your sister?"

"I'm leaving."

"Gone?" Hua Juan was surprised and turned to look at Lu Zhihao, "You are so lucky. There are not many girls who take advantage of a favor without asking for anything in return these days!"

Lu Zhihao suddenly felt embarrassed and hurried to see his girlfriend.

Shen Mei had been keeping her head down and spoke very little. When she heard this, she raised her head and said seriously, "Senior sister is really a very nice person."

"She is from Sanwei University. How do you know her?" Lu Zhihao also asked.

"The last intelligence competition..." Shen Mei paused here, but pursed her lips and continued.

From drawing lots to finding someone, from solving problems to confessing in public. Huajuan sat on the side and listened in amazement.

After hearing the last part, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Pei Zhi as if he had seen a ghost: "Damn it, you accompany others to clean the wound. Do you have bad intentions?"

"No." Pei Zhi was still indifferent.

"The senior sister probably said that just to piss off our director." Shen Mei explained quickly.

"Senior sister is a gentleman, the one with the problem is this person." Huajuan pointed at Pei Zhi and said.

Pei Zhi shook his head, held his phone and typed without saying anything.

Lin Chaoxi also stood in front of the hospital's French window, holding her phone. People were coming and going around her, but her brain continued to freeze.

Just before she parted ways with Pei Zhi, using the excuse of going to a lecture, Pei Zhi actually took out his cell phone and took the initiative to add her on WeChat.

By the time she hurriedly took out her phone and added WeChat, Pei Zhi had already left, so she could only hold the phone in a daze.

At this moment, the prompt sound suddenly rang.

A red number 1 appeared on Pei Zhi's profile picture, and the words "Precautions" were written on the brief reminder column.

After clicking it, there was a long list of precautions in the green chat box, which were exactly as the doctor said, word for word.

Lin Chaoxi read the whole thing from beginning to end, and his initial excitement had faded a lot.

What did the doctor sister say?

"Please write this down and remind her."

That was probably just something she said casually to coax the little boy, but Pei Zhi remembered it completely and even sent a WeChat message to remind her as instructed.

Lin Chaoxi put his phone back in his pocket, looked up at the high blue sky outside the window, and stretched his body.

What a desirable person.
