Chapter 218 Birthday

Ji Wanqing secretly glanced at him. Under the light, his thick eyelashes drooped down, casting a small shadow on his eyelids. His nose was straight, and his lips were slightly pursed.

It must be admitted that Pei Yu is very handsome; he has a clean, calm, and trustworthy kind of good looks.

"All done." Pei Yu applied the medicine, picked up new gauze and bandages, and began to skillfully bandage the wound.

His movements were quick and steady; in no time, he had bandaged her up with a bandage that was much neater and more secure than her own, without hindering her movements.

"Thank you, Brother Pei..." Ji Wanqing looked at the neat bandage on her wrist and thanked him sincerely, her heart filled with gratitude. "You always trouble yourself like this."

"It was nothing." Pei Yu packed up the medical supplies, his tone indifferent, using the same old excuse, "We're neighbors, it's only right that we look after each other."

He paused, looked at her, and said with a hint of concern in his eyes, "Besides, your hands are very important, so you need to take good care of them."

He was referring to the fact that she needs to use her hands for live streaming and playing games.

Ji Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, "Yes, I understand, I will be careful."

Pei Yu closed the medical kit, but showed no intention of leaving immediately.

He glanced at Ji Wanqing's still somewhat pale face and asked, "How was the live stream tonight...?"

He asked the question tactfully, but Ji Wanqing knew what he was asking.

She gave a wry smile and rubbed her temples. "To be honest, I'm a little tired. That last question... it came too suddenly."

Pei Yu paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, "I'm sorry, my question has put you in a difficult position."

"No, no," Ji Wanqing quickly waved her hand, "I know you didn't mean any harm, it's just... in that situation, I really didn't know how to answer."

She sighed, her voice filled with genuine confusion, "Brother Pei, tell me... why can matters of the heart be so complicated?"

She seemed to be just remarking unconsciously, not expecting Pei Yu to answer.

Pei Yu looked at her confused and tired appearance with deep eyes.

He remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, his voice remarkably clear in the quiet living room.

"Because the human heart is inherently complex, there's no need to rush to find answers. Just let things take their natural course. Most importantly, don't exhaust yourself."

His words were like a warm spring, gently flowing through Ji Wanqing's somewhat anxious heart.

She looked up and met his gentle and tolerant gaze. At that moment, her tense nerves strangely relaxed a little.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Pei," she said softly, her words carrying a deeper meaning.

Pei Yu nodded slightly and stood up.

"I'll go to the hospital tomorrow morning to check on Auntie. If everything's alright, she can be discharged. Don't get your wound wet. I'll change your dressing when I get off work tomorrow."

This time, Ji Wanqing did not refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay, then... I'll trouble you again tomorrow."

"If possible, you should avoid live streaming for the next couple of days. Even playing simple games like 'Pictionary' will affect your recovery by frequently using your wrist while holding the mouse."

Ji Wanqing was silent for two seconds, then sighed softly, "I will seriously consider it and see."

Pei Yu knew what she was worried about, so he didn't say anything more. "It's getting late, get some rest."

After seeing Pei Yu off and closing the door, Ji Wanqing leaned against the door, looking at the neatly bandaged wristband, feeling a mix of emotions.

Gratitude, peace of mind, and a touch of inexplicable dependence.

Pei Yu's presence is like his bandaged wound—stable, reliable, and makes people want to rely on him without even realizing it.

The next morning, Ji Wanqing was woken up by her phone alarm.

She didn't sleep well; her dreams were bizarre and fantastical.

She rubbed her slightly throbbing temples, finished washing up, and prepared to go to the hospital.

Pei Yu arrived shortly after I arrived at the hospital.

He was wearing a white lab coat, clearly having just finished work and taken a break to come over.

During the morning check-up, it was confirmed that Ji's vital signs were stable and she was recovering well, so she could indeed be discharged.

Then he waited for Ji Wanqing to come over before he could find time to come to the ward.

Ji Wanqing was peeling an apple for her mother, her movements still a bit clumsy.

"Dr. Pei is here." When Ji's mother saw Pei Yu, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.

After spending time with him, she developed a very good impression of this young and promising doctor who also took great care of her daughter.

"Hello, Auntie." Pei Yu greeted her gently, his gaze naturally falling on Ji Wanqing's hands. "Let me do it."

He naturally took the fruit knife and apple from her hand and continued peeling them smoothly, the peel evenly and without breaking.

Ji Wanqing felt a little embarrassed watching his practiced movements, but she didn't refuse.

"Can I be discharged today?"

Pei Yu nodded, handed the peeled apple to Ji's mother, and turned to Ji Wanqing.

"I'm here to tell you that the test results are all fine and you can be discharged."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Mrs. Ji was overjoyed to hear this and looked at Pei Yu. "I'm so grateful to Dr. Pei for taking care of me during this time. He's been treating me and looking after Xiao Qing. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"Auntie, you're too kind. It's all I should do," Pei Yu said politely and modestly. "Come to my office later to pick up your discharge papers."

"Okay." Ji Wanqing nodded slightly. "Then you should go and get busy."

"Auntie, remember to rest when you get back, eat a light diet, take your medicine on time, and call me anytime if you feel unwell," Pei Yu carefully instructed.

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that. Thank you, Dr. Pei." Mrs. Ji nodded repeatedly.

The discharge process went smoothly, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

The mother and daughter returned home. Seeing her mother finally back, Ji Wanqing smiled with relief and felt a sense of comfort.

She turned on her computer, stared at the black live stream screen, and struggled internally.

Fans' expectations, the attention of big shots, my own condition, and the medical advice from the isolated island... all sorts of thoughts were fighting in my mind.

Ultimately, reason prevailed.

She logged into her live streaming account and posted an announcement in her feed.

Sunny Tuantuan [Sorry, everyone. My wrist doctor advised that I need to rest for a few days, so my live streams might have to be paused for a while~ Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I'm fully recovered! Love you all! (ˉ▽ˉ；)...]

Shortly after the announcement was released, the comment section was flooded with messages from fans, most of whom expressed their understanding and concern, and wished her a speedy recovery.

She also saw the comforting words left by those familiar IDs.

Finish line. [Take a good rest.]

Don't bark! [Take good care of yourself, we're waiting for you!]

Qing Ye【Get well soon. 】

The unassuming rich woman says: "Honey, take this opportunity to relax! I'll save up the gifts for you!"

Shining Stars! [Sunny Sister, get some rest! We're waiting for you!]

In the evening, Pei Yu arrived as promised, carrying his small medical kit.

He carefully examined Ji Wanqing's wound, then disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged it again.

"The recovery is going well; the inflammation has subsided." His professional assessment was reassuring.

"Okay, thank you." Ji Wanqing looked at his focused profile and suddenly spoke up, "Brother Pei, I... I've issued an announcement that the broadcast will be temporarily suspended for a few days."

Pei Yu paused slightly as he bandaged her, then looked up at her with gentle eyes. "Yes, that's good. Your health is the most important thing."

For the next two days, Ji Wanqing enjoyed a long-awaited offline life.

I chatted with my mom, watched TV, and worked with my aunt to figure out how to make some simple food.

Her birthday arrived quickly.
