Chapter 32
He was quiet for a while, and Su Yin shook her feet again. She couldn't help but ask, "Is it the same here as ours, where you can't touch girls' feet?"
It was not allowed to touch the feet of the opposite sex in that era, not this era.
The one who would avoid it is the leader of the righteous path, not the patient's attending physician.
The moment this question was asked, Xie Lingxu once again held her ankle and opened his eyes with restraint.
"no."
His voice was extremely calm, and he no longer hesitated. The movement of squeezing out the blood was very decisive, as if he was processing meat on a chopping board.
Just like I said just now, he really didn't hold back when he hit her, and it hurt a lot. If Su Yin hadn't boasted just now, she would have gasped in shock by now.
Unlike the thick skin and flesh of her previous life, this body was far more sensitive than she had imagined.
The deeper she went, the harder the blood squeezed out. Unable to hold it back any longer, she struggled slightly and said, "Gentle."
Xie Lingxu paused and held down his throbbing foot, "Didn't you say you wouldn't cry out in pain?"
That was her before, how could she be the same as her now!
Su Yin curled her lips and argued, "Just because you don't cry out in pain doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, Dean, you're using too much force."
"Then just bear with it."
Having said that, the strength in his hands lightened.
The midday sun shone in obliquely through the glass, casting a dazzling glow on the man in front of him. He was half-squatting, with his eyes lowered and a serious look on his face. His facial features were reflected in clear lines of light and shadow under the sunlight, making him look deep and handsome, like a god.
Su Yin felt truly and strongly that this was not the light of righteousness that was high above and untainted by the dust of the world, but the director of the sanatorium and her attending physician.
"alright."
The long and torturous process finally ended. Xie Lingxu immediately stood up and once again kept a step away before going to check on her condition.
His eyes met an overly focused gaze.
He remained calm and took another step back, "What?"
"nothing."
Su Yin held her chin with both hands, her eyes curved in a good mood, "Dean, you are so beautiful."
"Yeah?"
Xie Lingxu almost immediately recalled what he had heard not long ago.
Her evaluation at that time was average.
She couldn't eat when she saw his face.
Somehow, Su Yin guessed that he was going to bring up the past, and spoke first, "The past is the past, the present is the present, and it's not you that I hate."
Xie Lingxu seemed to be blocked from speaking. He turned his back without saying a word, and no one knew what he was busy with.
The breeze lifted the gauze curtains, and dim lights swayed on the floor. The bedroom was very quiet and no one spoke.
The young nurse hesitated for a moment before pushing the wheelchair in. The atmosphere inside...it seemed inappropriate to go in like this.
A few seconds later, the sound of a wheelchair's wheels broke the silence.
The young nurse looked at the situation and took the iodine to disinfect the young master's wound.
At this point, the duties of the attending physician finally came to an end. Xie Lingxu took off his rubber gloves and realized that his palms were a little wet.
This was the first time in both his lives that he had such close contact with the opposite sex. His body gave the most honest reaction, and was far from as calm as he appeared.
He frowned unconsciously and threw the gloves into the deep end of the trash can to avoid seeing them.
On the other side, Su Yin's attention had shifted from Xie Lingxu to her own wound.
Compared with the previous blood squeezing, the nurse's action of applying iodine can be said to be extremely gentle. Su Yin had previously thought that Xie Lingxu was bluffing her, because the previous actions were obviously not that heavy.
After comparing them, I realized that he was telling the truth.
As I watched, my thoughts became a little vague. The little nurse half-kneeling in front of me looked a little similar to the figure before.
If her original purpose of approaching the dean was to see him grovel to her, today it seemed that this wish had been half fulfilled.
It feels like it's pretty good.
Su Yin subconsciously looked for Xie Lingxu, turned around, and saw him tinkering with something on the island counter.
A very familiar object, with a sharp needle tip, emitting a cold and sharp light under the light.
But the first sight, it was almost a physiological resistance. Su Yin didn't even have time to think about anything. His body reflexively threw himself back on the bed, picked up a corner of the quilt, rolled over, and rolled himself into a ball.
Only then did she realize that the quilt she was using was Xie Lingxu's, but she had no time to care.
This body still retained a fear of needles, a fear that hadn't dissipated even with a new soul, prompting her to react instinctively.
After realizing her condition, Su Yin frowned. It had been a long time since anything could make her feel this fear.
"Young Sect Master?"
The cotton swab in the young nurse's hand was kicked away by her violent movement, and she stood there at a loss.
At this time, Su Yin's condition was obviously not right. She turned her head and looked at the dean to inquire.
Xie Lingxu knew what Su Yin was wary of, so he held the bottle of potion in front of her and showed her the instructions without reservation.
"It's a tetanus shot to protect against rust, not anything else."
The cool voice penetrates into the cochlea and soothes the anxious emotions.
"It won't cause you any harm."
Su Yin poked out a pair of eyes from under the quilt, staring at him with distinct black and white pupils.
In fact, she had calmed down, but she just didn't explain. After all, she was a patient and could do anything.
Xie Lingxu drew the liquid from the medicine bottle into the syringe in front of her. "The injection site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm."
Su Yin didn't know what deltoid muscle was, but she heard the word "upper arm" clearly. After a slight hesitation, she looked at Xie Lingxu's face, and after struggling for a moment, she rolled out from under the quilt.
She stretched out her arm, rolled up her clothes, and slowly held it in front of Xie Lingxu.
The skin, pale from long periods of sunlight, was delicate and flawless, like fine warm jade. Due to weakness and lack of exercise, the arms were extremely thin and devoid of muscle.
Large areas of exposed skin caught his eye, but he couldn't avoid them. This was another challenge to the etiquette of his twenty years of education.
A doctor sees no gender, but he has never been a true doctor.
Xie Lingxu almost forced himself to keep his gaze there. He did not have any inappropriate thoughts, but just looking at that place was the biggest offense.
Su Yin turned her head away from watching the acupuncture process and waited for a while, but it still hadn't started.
The process of waiting for the needle to be inserted was more difficult than the direct injection, so she began to urge.
Xie Lingxu hesitated for a moment, then after thinking it over, he thrust the needle into the nurse's hand and said, "You do it."
"Ah?" The young nurse stood there at a loss.
He was silent for a moment, then brought out that excuse again, "I didn't hold back."
Feeling that this wasn't convincing enough, he added, "She's afraid of pain."
Su Yin raised her eyelids and glanced at him quickly.
The young nurse didn't suspect anything, swallowed her saliva and walked forward, feeling nervous as if she was giving an injection under the supervision of her instructor.
The vaccine was slowly injected into the body, causing some stinging, but not the soreness and weakness I felt after being injected by the bald man before.
The moment all the liquid in the syringe was pushed out, the three people present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Xie Lingxu changed his tone to a businesslike one, "The wound needs to be left open. Try not to travel until it heals, or use a wheelchair."
Su Yin blinked and said obediently: "I will listen to the dean."
He lowered his eyes, did not respond, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Su Yin called out, pursing her lips when he looked at her. "Did that assistant from Courtyard No. 2 come over just now for something?"
"The patient in Courtyard No. 2 wants to invite you over as a guest."
"Invite me?" Su Yin pointed at herself. "Be my guest?"
"Um."
Xie Lingxu's expression was as indifferent as ever, and he didn't seem to be joking.
Su Yin blurted out: "Is he crazy again?"
Xie Lingxu didn't explain the reason, just left her bedroom after saying "He will come again".
Su Yin watched his back disappear around the corner, and suddenly said out of nowhere, "He... seems quite nice."
The young nurse suddenly remembered the original theory.
How should I put it, it seems to have worked... but it seems to have worked for the wrong people.
…
"Master, do you want to change the bed this time as well?"
On the other end of the phone, the housekeeper skillfully took out the contact directory for customized bedding.
It has been less than half a month and he has already changed beds twice. He really can't imagine what these beds have been through.
“…”
Xie Lingxu was silent for a while, then he let out a barely perceptible sigh, "Just change the bedding."
"Okay, Master."
