Their eyes met instantly!

Jiang Jingxue's head throbbed, and her hand, which was half above the water, slipped back into the water.

This time, she pressed herself firmly onto the man's strong yet supple body!

Oh my god!

Gu Pingwei let out a muffled groan, his face ashen, as he pulled out Jiang Jingxue's part.

"Your illness...I can't cure it for now. Goodbye!"

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Jiang Jingxue finally realized what she had just touched, and her face flushed slightly, her gaze darting away.

She feigned composure, saying, "Physical contact between doctors and patients is normal, cough cough... don't worry about it."

Gu Pingwei remained expressionless, but his ears were burning. He gritted his teeth and made Jiang Jingxue help him up.

After everything was repaired, Gu Pingwei sat on the bed and said, "Uncle Yu, please come in."

With a snap, the door opened again, revealing the middle-aged man who had just been locked in a six-eyed standoff.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Jiang Jingxue gritted her teeth and pretended to be busy, while tidying up her silver needles on the side.

The man's curious gaze shifted back and forth between Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei, and he couldn't help but chuckle. "Gu Pingwei, your mother sent me to see you because she was worried you wouldn't take your treatment seriously. It seems she was overthinking it."

"And who is this comrade?"

The topic suddenly shifted to Jiang Jingxue, who had already regained her composure. "Hello, I am Gu Pingwei's wife."

Gu Pingwei instinctively wanted to refute, but recalling what had just happened, he could only add quietly, "Fiancée."

Strictly speaking, the two are not yet married.

They didn't get a marriage certificate or hold a wedding banquet.

Yu Guoqiang is a top surgeon in China. He was studying abroad, but Gu Pingwei's mother forcibly dragged him back from abroad and brought him to the island to see Gu Pingwei without stopping.

Recalling that Jiang Jingxue seemed to have been giving Gu Pingwei acupuncture earlier, Yu Guoqiang became interested.

The conversation naturally veered towards medicine, touching on Jiang Jingxue's area of ​​expertise, and she spoke fluently and confidently about it.

Yu Guoqiang's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He never expected that Jiang Jingxue, at such a young age, would have such expertise in traditional Chinese medicine!

Who says traditional Chinese medicine is declining!

Gu Pingwei's gaze was also quite complicated; this woman seemed to be different from the rumors.

The exchange between the two, focusing on traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, gradually became more lively. Yu Guoqiang patted Jiang Jingxue on the shoulder with great satisfaction, saying, "Good, good, good! Domestic medicine needs talents like you!"

"Where did Madam Gu find such a treasure like you!"

Jiang Jingxue remained composed and smiled, saying, "Director Yu is too kind. I am still young and have much room for improvement in medicine. I will have to learn more from you in the future."

When Yu Guoqiang first learned that Madam Gu was actually using the method of "marrying for good luck" to try to cure her son, he thought she was crazy!

It seems they had this planned all along.

"What a pity. It would be so much better if you were my student. It's such a waste to have you as Gu Pingwei's wife." Yu Guoqiang said, looking at Gu Pingwei with exaggerated expression.

There was no real intention to poach someone's partner; it was just a joke.

Gu Pingwei naturally knew this, but his brows still twitched. "Uncle Yu, please stop teasing me. It's too much trouble for you to make this special trip."

“The scenery on this island is really beautiful, it’s truly good for your health. I’m treating this trip as a vacation,” Yu Guoqiang laughed heartily.

Jiang Jingxue thought to herself that medical experts of their caliber came to a small island like this not only to cure Gu Pingwei, but also to promote the development of local medicine.

It's ultimately a good thing.

After catching up, Yu Guoqiang planned to go home to rest. Since Yu Guoqiang had come all the way from abroad, Gu Pingwei naturally wanted to show his appreciation.

Then he remembered that Jiang Jingxue had not yet been settled.

Jiang Jingxue sneered, "Gu Pingwei is busy with many things, it's normal that he forgot about me."

Now it was Gu Pingwei's turn to feel awkward, as it was indeed his oversight.

With his deputy sent out by Gu Pingwei, Jiang Jingxue was the only option left to push Gu Pingwei back.

Jiang Jingxue didn't refuse. She had chosen to come to this island because she planned to live a good life with Gu Pingwei, not to spite him.

Along the way, Jiang Jingxue also bought some local specialties, planning to cook them herself.

Yu Guoqiang kept praising Jiang Jingxue for being amazing and Gu Pingwei for being so lucky.

Gu Pingwei thought Jiang Jingxue was just playing tricks.

The island has a military base and scientific research projects, so a centralized compound has been set up to facilitate the residence of the personnel.

Gu Pingwei's residence has two bedrooms and a living room, neither too big nor too small, and it is clear that the interior decoration has been carefully considered.

Most of them were made of yellow beams and crossbeams, few in number but exquisite in quality, just like Gu Pingwei himself—rigorous and cold.

Jiang Jingxue looked around the house, then went straight to the kitchen.

She said obediently, "Then Uncle Yu, you should rest for a bit, and let me show you a couple of skills."

Yu Guoqiang laughed again, "Look at what a good kid he is, Gu Pingwei, don't always have such a serious face, smile more."

Gu Pingwei sat in his wheelchair and let out a soft hum.

Jiang Jingxue hummed a little tune as she skillfully processed the ingredients, quickly categorizing them with swift, precise cuts.

Refreshing coconut jelly, coconut chicken, hairy crab, and marinated seafood.

It's so easy, you can just grab it and pinch it.

Inside the living room, Yu Guoqiang was still trying to persuade Gu Pingwei not to lose heart.

"The chances of a cure are still very high."

"I looked at your medical records on the way here, and now that I see them, it's not as serious as I thought. It seems like you've improved in the last couple of days?"

Gu Pingwei's eyes darkened. "Really? I've been using traditional Chinese medicine these past two days, and the effects are indeed quite noticeable."

The aroma wafted from the kitchen, and both of them felt a little hungry, so they unconsciously looked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Jingxue untied her apron and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.

Mission accomplished!

Jiang Jingxue carried her masterpieces and placed them one by one on the dining table. The aroma alone was enough to make anyone's mouth water.

Gu Pingwei was also slightly moved. He really didn't expect that Jiang Jingxue would actually be good at cooking, and that she looked pretty good at it.

Gu Pingwei looked up and met Jiang Jingxue's gaze. Then, the two of them looked away at the same time.

How strange, why am I afraid of him! Jiang Jingxue cheered herself up.

Just as the three were about to have their meal, there was a knock on the door.

Clap clap clap!

“Pingwei, I heard from them that they saw you come back today.”

Gu Pingwei said, "It's Professor Yue."

Jiang Jingxue turned to open the door and saw a kind-looking middle-aged man and a girl about her age beside him.

The girl's fashionable attire made her stand out from the rest of the island.

She wore a pearl hair clip, a dress, and heels with raised heels. Upon closer inspection, she also had some makeup on.

With a bright and cheerful demeanor and a fiery tongue, the girl's round eyes widened instantly upon seeing Jiang Jingxue!

"Who are you? What are you doing at Pingwei's house!"

What a fiery little firecracker! Jiang Jingxue's temper flared up just as quickly.

Jiang Jingxue had worked hard all day to cook a meal, but before she could even have a hot bite, she had to open the door for the two of them.

The result was a barrage of questions!

What kind of logic is that?
