Now there’s no way to wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River!

At this time, Gu Huaiye picked up the stethoscope and motioned her to check again.

Xia Zhining felt very guilty at the moment, and was particularly quiet and well-behaved, sitting still and cooperating very well.

Gu Huaiye put on the stethoscope and placed the slightly cool tip against her heart.

The sealed stethoscope amplified the sound, and his deep voice seemed to hit her eardrum directly: "How do you feel now?"

Xia Zhining held her breath, trying to ignore the cold touch on her chest and his deep, magnetic voice that was amplified in her ears.

She replied quietly, "My head still hurts a little... but it's better than last night."

Gu Huaiye listened attentively with the stethoscope. After a moment, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at her: "Your heartbeat is a little fast."

"Ah? B-Maybe it's because the fever just broke..."

Xia Zhining's eyes were wandering, and she was subconsciously looking for an excuse, but her cheeks were getting hotter.

Was this statement intentional or unintentional?

At this moment when the ambiguous atmosphere is quietly spreading——

“Click.”

The dormitory door opened, and Ji Shuyun, holding an insulated box, stood at the door, his body seeming to be wrapped in the cold air of winter.

His sharp eyes were like a searchlight, instantly locking onto the two people who were too close to each other beside the bed.

Just when Ji Shuyun was about to have an attack, Gu Huaiye slowly took off his stethoscope.

He raised his eyes to meet Ji Shuyun's scrutinizing gaze and greeted him indifferently, "Officer Ji."

Gu Huaiye calmly took off his stethoscope, as if he was just conducting an ordinary diagnosis and treatment.

And Anxing, who was lying in the corner, shook his tail and changed to a more comfortable position, with the words "watch the show" clearly written in his pupils.

[Master! Come on! Conquer Brother Ningning!]

"elder brother!"

Xia Zhining's heart skipped a beat when she saw Ji Shuyun's murderous look. She immediately spoke, her voice so fast it seemed like she was trying to answer the question: "Don't get me wrong! Last night, I had a fever and I was the one who held onto Doctor Gu's hand. Logically..."

"I'm sorry for wasting his time!"

Ji Shuyun looked at his sister who was eager to protect outsiders, and glanced at Gu Huaiye, who seemed to be out of the matter but actually had the overall situation in control. He felt a surge of anger in his chest, which he could neither vent nor swallow.

He finally glared at Xia Zhining fiercely, and the angry look in his eyes clearly said: You silly girl who was sold out and still helps others count money!

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Xia Zhining immediately covered her stomach and groaned softly: "Brother, I'm hungry..."

Sure enough, when he heard that his sister was hungry, the aura that kept strangers away from him disappeared instantly.

He glared at Gu Huaiye fiercely, but was still worried about his sister not having eaten. He turned around and opened the thermal box he brought layer by layer.

The moment the thermal box is opened, a light yet appetizing aroma fills the air.

Ji Shuyun carefully placed a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge, which was cooked to the perfect temperature and had the rice grains blooming, along with a few refreshing side dishes, on the small table in front of Xia Zhining.

Then, he scooped out another bowl with a slightly stiff movement and reluctantly pushed it in front of Gu Huaiye: "Doctor Gu, thank you for taking care of my sister last night."

Ji Shuyun's tone was firm, as if he was carrying out some mission that had to be completed.

He then changed the subject, as if to send the guest off: "Please go back and rest after breakfast. I'll be here for you."

Gu Huaiye lowered his eyes to glance at the bowl of porridge, then took it calmly.

He held the porcelain spoon in his slender fingers and stirred the porridge slowly. He looked up at Ji Shuyun and said in an impeccably gentle tone, "Thank you, brother."
