Gu Youran took the opportunity to slide out of his arms.
I pushed him away and walked quickly towards the cloakroom, afraid that if I was a step slower I would be dragged back by him.
Shi Heng stood there, watching her fleeing in panic, a helpless smile forming at the corner of his lips.
He looked down at his palm, where her warmth still lingered.
Five minutes later.
Shi Heng leaned against the door of the cloakroom, staring at her with a serious look.
"Asking Zhuoran to follow you is not a request."
Gu Youran felt her ears burning with anger when he stared at her.
His fingers subconsciously touched the button he had buttoned incorrectly, and he felt annoyed.
She had indeed worked too hard last night, so much so that she couldn't even get dressed properly this morning.
She pursed her lips, trying to hide her guilt with a calm tone.
"I understand. Zhuoran will follow."
Shi Heng said nothing and walked up to her.
He raised his hand, and his slender fingers pinched the button she had buttoned incorrectly.
Unbutton it slowly and then buckle it again.
His movements were very light, and his fingertips occasionally brushed against her skin, causing a slight tremor.
"You're always like this," he said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "You're so tired you can barely stand, yet you still force yourself to go see patients."
Gu Youran looked up and met his deep gaze, her heart skipping a beat.
She opened her mouth to retort, but was silenced by his next words.
"If I see you being stubborn again today." He leaned over slightly, close to her ear, and his warm breath brushed her earlobe.
"I don't mind using the method from last night to let you have a good rest for a few days."
Gu Youran's ears instantly turned red, and her cheeks were also stained with a layer of crimson.
She subconsciously took a step back, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his arms.
"Shi Heng!" She protested in a low voice, with a hint of panic in her voice.
Shi Heng chuckled and let go of her hand, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Go ahead, if you don't leave now, you'll be late."
Gu Youran glared at him, hurriedly tidied her clothes, turned around and walked towards the door.
Halfway through the walk, she stopped again, looked back at him, and her tone softened.
"You...don't worry, I can take care of myself."
Shi Heng stood there, looking at her tenderly, his voice so soft as if he was talking to himself: "How can I not worry."
Gu Youran didn't say anything else, turned around and quickly left the room.
Shi Heng followed her and they went downstairs together.
Arrived at the first floor lobby.
Shi Heng suddenly stopped and raised his hand to grab Gu Youran's wrist.
"Wait a minute, Zhuoran is already waiting for you."
Gu Youran nodded, not surprised.
Shi Heng had already mentioned Zhuoran to her last night.
She knew that Zhuoran was Zhuo Lin's sister, who was very skilled and had a calm personality, so Shi Heng specially arranged for her to protect him.
She turned her head and looked at the corner of the hall, only to see a slender girl standing there.
The girl was wearing a simple black sportswear, her hair tied into a neat ponytail, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed a calmness that was inconsistent with her age.
"Hello, Doctor Gu." Zhuoran stepped forward and bowed slightly. "I'm Zhuoran. From today on, I'll be responsible for your safety."
Gu Youran smiled and said, "Hello, Zhuoran. I'll trouble you from now on."
Zhuoran nodded and said excitedly, "I'm honored to protect you. I watched the CCTV live broadcast of your challenge to Tengchuan Hiroki, and I admire your medical skills and courage."
Gu Youran was a little surprised and said with a smile, "You watched the live broadcast too?"
Zhuoran nodded seriously, "Yes. My brother and I watched it that day, and we both thought you were amazing. I'm very happy to be here to protect you."
Gu Youran felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, Zhuoran. I feel at ease having you by my side."
"By the way, I heard that you know some knowledge of Chinese medicine. You can help me in the hospital in the future, so that we can communicate more."
Zhuoran nodded happily, "Okay, I will do my best to help you."
Shi Heng stood aside, his eyes swept between the two of them, and said solemnly, "Youbao, I can only feel at ease with Zhuoran here."
Gu Youran turned to look at Shi Heng, "Thank you, Ah Heng. You are always so thoughtful."
Shi Heng ruffled her hair and said, "Don't thank me, just take care of yourself."
Gu Youran smiled, turned and walked towards the door, and Zhuoran immediately followed.
Shi Heng stood there, watching the two people's backs gradually walking away, but the worry in his heart did not dissipate.
Zhuoran was driving and Gu Youran was sitting in the passenger seat.
The car drove out of the villa gate.
Gu Youran took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Shi Heng:
Ah Heng, thank you for arranging Zhuoran to help me. Not only is she reliable, but she can also help me in the hospital. She is really thoughtful. [heart][kitten acting cute]]
Shi Heng replied immediately:
[Want to thank me? My Youbao, why not use yourself to pay for it. [Hook finger][Bite lip]]
Gu Youran's ears felt hot and her fingertips trembled:
【Last night wasn’t enough? [Blushing][Kitten’s fur exploded]】
A new message popped up in the dialog box instantly:
[For you, it's never enough. [Flame][Chain] Wait for me to open my presents tonight.]
…
Kangrui Hospital, director's office in the early morning.
Si Wenjie was pacing back and forth anxiously, the documents in his hands crumpled up.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
Suddenly, the ringing of the phone broke the silence.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Shi Heng.
Si Wenjie answered the phone with a teasing tone.
"Hey, Hengzi, you're calling so early. Are you worried about your boyfriend again?"
On the other end of the phone, Shi Heng's voice was as cold as ice, with an unquestionable strength, "Her clinic sees no more than fifty patients a day."
Si Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hengzi, you're being a wife-protecting maniac again, aren't you? With so many patients, how could she only take fifty?"
"Besides, you know my sister-in-law's temper. If she knew it was you who arranged this, she would definitely get angry with me."
Shi Heng's voice was oppressive. "This isn't a discussion, it's a notification."
"If she doesn't cooperate, I don't mind personally 'convincing' her tonight."
"But I don't know if she will be able to get out of bed and see patients tomorrow."
When Si Wenjie heard this, he almost dropped the phone and said helplessly, "Hengzi, you... okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Fifty is fifty."
"But I have to remind you, if my sister-in-law finds out, don't blame me."
Shi Heng said forcefully, "She won't know. If this gets out from you, you know the consequences."
Si Wenjie was choked by these words and was speechless for a moment. "Okay, you're the boss, I'll listen to you. But isn't your way of showing concern for others a bit too overbearing?"
Shi Heng did not respond and the call was hung up directly.
Si Wenjie shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "Shi Heng is becoming more and more unreasonable..."
He glanced at his watch for the fifth time.
Eight fifteen.
Finally, I heard footsteps outside the door.
