Zhou Shuo's face darkened, "Or you should just stop liking me."
Mu Yao laughed.
Zhou Shuo also laughed.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Shuo sent Mu Yao back to the ward. Only then did he realize that Mu Yao had been out for such a long time and no one had looked for her.
Zhou Shuo was slightly startled. "Didn't your mother accompany you to the hospital?"
Mu Yao frowned. "You're so mean! Did you know her on your first day meeting me? Of course I had no one to accompany me. I drove the babysitter away, so I'm used to being alone. Does everyone come into this world alone? What's wrong with getting used to being alone sooner?"
Zhou Shuo was speechless and gave her a thumbs up. "You're right! You're a philosopher! So what do you think we should do? Should I stay here with you? Or should you get used to being alone first?"
Mu Yao pulled her in and immediately put on a smile, "Good sister-in-law, please accompany me."
Zhou Shuo glanced at her and said, "Humph! Isn't it a bit late to act like a spoiled child now?"
Although she said this, she still helped Mu Yao onto the bed and settled her down.
Mu Yao couldn't help but yawn a little. Zhou Shuo said, "Are you tired? Take a nap."
Mu Yao held her hand and asked, "Are you going to leave after I fall asleep? Are you really looking forward to me sleeping now?"
Zhou Shuo patted the little hand lightly and said deliberately, "Yeah! You little annoying guy!"
Mu Yao smiled, a very happy smile, "Sister-in-law is still the best! I hate people who coax me against their will. Okay, I'm really tired, I need to sleep for a while, please call the nurse in for me, I need an injection, take medicine, and sleep!"
She twisted prettily against the pillow.
Zhou Shuo watched the nurse put an IV on Mu Yao, and waited until she slowly closed her eyes and her breathing became even before he gently stepped out.
Zhou Shuo went to the nurse's station to check Mu Yao's medical records. The nurse handed them to her without even asking, and said softly, "Mu Yao has a bad temper, and her family is very cautious. I've never seen her so happy, laughing so happily. Can you come and accompany her more often?"
Zhou Shuo glanced at the nurse deeply, but didn't answer her question. He pointed at the medical records and asked, "Her current treatment plan uses Western medicine, right?"
The young nurse nodded in confusion.
Zhou Shuo said nothing, closed the medical record, said goodbye, and ignored the young nurse's hesitation to speak.
Zhou Shuo saw Gu Ming hurried downstairs with a briefcase, then he knocked on Mu Ci's study door with some fruit.
Mu Ci stood up from the wheelchair, stretched out his arms, and waited for Zhou Shuo to throw himself into his arms.
Zhou Shuo smiled and hugged him, "Brother, why are you still sitting in a wheelchair? Doesn't Gu Ming know that your leg is fine?"
Mu Ci hugged her and smiled, "Gu Ming reminded me that it's better to be more restrained on weekdays, so as to avoid being noticed by many people and causing unnecessary trouble if the news gets out."
Zhou Shuo played with the buttons on Mu Ci's chest and nodded, "He's quite smart."
Mu Ci smiled and kissed her palm, "Of course, how could I possibly use it on someone who isn't smart?"
He pulled Zhou Shuo to sit on the sofa.
Zhou Shuo leaned against him and rolled his eyes, "Then I'm also a smart person, right?"
Mu Ci tapped the tip of her nose lightly and smiled without saying anything.
Zhou Shuo really enjoyed the feeling of being with Mu Ci, but he didn't know that for Mu Ci, this was a torture to his mind. While trying to calm his mind, he hugged the little thing in his arms and rocked it gently, "You're back so late today?"
Zhou Shuo remembered the important matter and told Mu Ci about Mu Yao's illness.
Mu Ci frowned and said nothing.
Zhou Shuo looked at his expression, not knowing what he was thinking, so he simply expressed his thoughts: "I saw in the medical records that Mu Yao is currently using Western medicine, with no Chinese medicine involved. I took her pulse and found that the child's health is indeed very poor, and the pulse is quite strange. Because I don't know her medical history, I dare not make a definitive conclusion. Besides, I always feel that something is amiss."
"What's wrong?" Mu Ci reached out to tidy Zhou Shuo's hair and used his fingers to smooth out her frown.
"Mu Yao is very familiar with the hospital. She wandered around the hospital with no one to accompany her or to take care of her. She should know that I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, but she was not enthusiastic about me taking her pulse, but she did not reject it either. However, after I finished the examination, she did not ask me for the results."
"This child has a broken jar feeling. There's no one around her. Do they really not care, or are they just very confident? I have an uncomfortable feeling, as if they knew for sure I would be with her, but why? Why did they let me stay with her so confidently?"
Mu Ci listened to Zhou Shuo's words without saying anything. He just said "hmm" softly, motioning Zhou Shuo to continue.
Zhou Shuo considered his words carefully and said with some difficulty, "Brother, do you think Mu Yao is like bait? To catch a silly fish like me? And then let me take the initiative to treat Mu Yao?"
Mu Ci's fingers, which were stroking the back of Zhou Shuo's hand, paused for a moment.
Zhou Shuo looked at Mu Ci with his big eyes flashing, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Am I thinking too much?"
Mu Ci couldn't help but kiss her on the corner of her lips: "You described it very well, Silly Fish."
Zhou Shuo was unhappy and patted him, refusing to let him play with his hands again: "I'm not stupid!"
Mu Ci laughed: "You said it yourself."
Zhou Shuo pulled Mu Ci's hand over, bit the back of it gently, and said deliberately fiercely: "I'll bite you!"
Mu Ci was happy. He hugged Zhou Shuo and kissed her fiercely. He had been listening to her chattering for such a long time. He had been coveting her little mouth opening and closing for a long time. This silly girl had no perception at all, which really pissed him off.
From fierce to gentle, Zhou Shuo gradually lost himself in Mu Ci's kiss. Mu Ci's breathing gradually became unstable. He sighed in his heart, tried to calm his mind, and let go of Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo leaned softly in his arms, his arms around his waist, and neither of them spoke.
When Mu Ci finally calmed down, he found that the little thing in his arms was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at Zhou Shuo's delicate and fair little face, Mu Ci fell into deep thought.
He took every word Zhou Shuo said to heart, and he believed in Zhou Shuo's feelings as if he believed in himself.
Zhou Shuo has not been influenced by the mundane world. She has a very keen sense of people and is not influenced by emotions, which is very rare.
So Mu Yao really did approach Zhou Shuo deliberately, hoping to exploit her curiosity and get him medical treatment? Why? The doctors in the hospital could easily use any of them with a single word, so why would they resort to such a scheme to manipulate Zhou Shuo?
Calculation?
As soon as this word entered his mind, Mu Ci became subconsciously alert.
They also want to plot against Zhou Shuo? What is there about Zhou Shuo that is worth plotting against? His current condition is kept secret, so naturally, not many people know about Zhou Shuo's medical skills.
What's wrong?
