Not long after Pei Shuo left Chen Yao's ward, he received a WeChat message from her.
[Chen Yao: Doctor Pei, the food you brought was delicious. Thank you.]
[Chen Yao: It's only right to reciprocate. After I recover and am discharged from the hospital, I'll treat you, Doctor Pei, to a meal.]
Pei Shuo paused, then stood there and quickly replied to her message: [No need.]
When Chen Yao saw this reply, she curled her lips unconsciously and put down her chopsticks.
The aunt thought that the food was not to her liking and that she did not want to eat, so she advised: "When you are sick, you should eat light food so that you can get better faster. Come on, eat more."
Chen Yao was stunned, nodded and said, "Okay."
…
the next day.
Chen Yao felt that her body seemed to have recovered a little. The uncomfortable feeling in her head was obviously much less than yesterday, and her head was not as dizzy anymore.
Around noon, her parents and uncle came over carrying large and small bags of things, including her lunch, toiletries, spare clothes, etc.
Chen Yao did feel uncomfortable, but the doctor and the nurse had specifically told her not to take a shower yesterday, so she endured it and waited until today to take a shower.
At this moment, her mother came over with some clean clothes, which was just what she wanted.
After lunch, she rested for a while to digest her food and then couldn't wait to grab her changing clothes and went into the bathroom.
Zhou Peilan followed her and asked her if she needed any help.
Chen Yao waved her hand and said, "No need, Mom, I can do it myself. I will be careful not to let the wound come into contact with water."
Zhou Peilan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait outside for you to wash. If you need any help, feel free to call me."
Chen Yao responded with a "OK".
Soon the sound of dripping water could be heard in the bathroom.
While taking a shower, Chen Yao also checked if there were any other injuries on her body.
…
During Pei Shuo's routine ward rounds, he led his men to Chen Yao's ward, but didn't see her. He asked Zhou Xiuran, who was sitting in a chair playing with his phone, "Where's Chen Yao?"
Zhou Xiuran replied: "He's probably taking a shower."
Pei Shuo: "Then I'll come over later."
Zhou Xiuran: "It should be soon. Why don't you sit here and wait for a minute or two? That's perfect. Why don't we chat?"
Pei Shuo was about to refuse when he heard footsteps and voices behind him.
"Doctor Pei, you're here."
I don’t know if it was Pei Shuo’s illusion, but there seemed to be some joy in Chen Yao’s tone when she spoke.
He raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly, "Well, routine rounds."
After taking a bath, Chen Yao's face was slightly pink and moist, and she looked a little different from usual.
Especially those eyes, which somehow had a wet feeling, making Pei Shuo's palms itch slightly.
While he was stunned, she had already walked to his side. In the flowing air, the sweet fragrance of shower gel with a hint of warmth rushed into his nose.
Pei Shuo should have taken a step back and put some distance between himself and her, but for some reason his feet froze and he couldn't move.

I'm stuck in writing so badly. I'm a bit busy today, so I'll make up for it later. I don't want this to happen, but I'm stuck in writing and my ideas are really stuck, mainly because I'm busy and can't spare the time.
Whenever this happens, I really want to finish it and take a long break.
I’ll make up for it tomorrow. I’m so sleepy that I can hardly open my eyes. Sorry.
