Chapter 17 Nian Nian gets an injection
Shi Guilin didn't explain, he just said, "Hold it first."
Gao Yiyan naturally had no objection. A good baby like Nian Nian would never be complained about being held for too long by anyone. He was just afraid that he might not be held enough.
The two of them chatted with Nian Nian all the way to the window. The doctor at the window saw that a baby had arrived and skillfully prepared the blood drawing tools at hand.
Shi Guilin looked at the curious baby Nian Nian looking around, and secretly felt fortunate that Nian Nian had never been to this hospital and didn't know what kind of sharp pain she was about to face.
Gao Yiyan sat down by the window holding Nian Nian in his arms. He held Nian Nian's little arm with great experience, placed it on the table, and stretched it to the doctor inside.
The experienced doctor also realized that Nian Nian was "inexperienced" and unaware of the dangers of the world, so he removed the disposable needle faster, wanting to finish the job quickly while the little guy wasn't paying attention.
Nian Nian didn’t understand any of this, but he could feel that the atmosphere around him had obviously changed, and everyone was looking at him very frequently.
"Papa?" Nian Nian raised her face with a confused look.
"What's wrong, baby?" Shi Guilin pretended to be clueless. But being looked at like that, he subconsciously moved his feet towards Nian Nian, getting closer to Gao Yiyan, and almost couldn't bear to lie to the baby.
Gao Yiyan took one look at him and knew that he was reluctant to do so, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how adorable the baby was, he needed a routine blood test.
"Nian Nian, look at Uncle Gao, and his expression will change."
As he spoke, Gao Yiyan used his facial features flexibly and started making faces.
Nian Nian giggled and ignored the cool feeling of the alcohol cotton swab on her skin.
Only Shi Guilin stared nervously at the needle approaching Nian Nian's finger. Perhaps in order to barely hide his worry, he restrainedly placed his right hand on Gao Yiyan's left shoulder.
It happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, the silver needle flashing with cold light pierced into the skin and then was pulled out.
Nian Nian shuddered violently, and instinctively tried to retract his hand in pain. However, he failed. His arm and wrist were restrained tightly by Gao Yiyan and the doctor, and he could not move at all.
The moment the pain was transmitted to the brain through the nerve endings, Nian Nian's smile stopped abruptly, the corners of her mouth turned downward, and her dark eyes immediately filled with tears: "Wuwu——"
"ah!!!"
Gao Yiyan suddenly yelled. The sound echoed throughout the entire department, easily interrupting Nian Nian's sobs.
The doctor in the window was so scared by him that his hands trembled when he took blood. After he came to his senses, his mouth under the mask couldn't help grinning.
The man's cry of pain was so shocking that Nian Nian instantly forgot to cry. She looked at Gao Yiyan who was crying in pain with tears on her face, with a confused look on her face, as if she didn't understand why she was the one in pain while Gao Yiyan was crying.
Shi Guilin watched the doctor draw blood with a thin tube without missing a step. He felt relieved and turned around and said with disdain, "Why are you howling like a ghost? Our Nian Nian is braver than you and didn't cry at all."
Gao Yiyan heard this and put on a fake smile while holding the tearful Nian Nian. He calmly lowered his eyes to glance at the hand on his shoulder, then looked directly at Shi Guilin in a very suggestive manner.
"What do you think? Guess why I yelled?"
"Who cares why..." Shi Guilin followed his gaze and looked at his shoulder speechlessly, and stopped talking.
Shit, his hand was on Gao Yiyan’s shoulder just now!
He said that when Nian Nian was pricked by the needle, his hand suddenly clenched something, and it turned out to be the trapezius muscle on Gao Yiyan's shoulder and neck.
Then...then he must have used quite a bit of strength.
"Uh..." Shi Guilin withdrew his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose guiltily, "Does it hurt so much?"
"Haha." Gao Yiyan sneered, picked up Nian Nian and walked back.
Shi Guilin followed the two of them closely. Thinking that Nian Nian's physical examination would inevitably require Gao Yiyan's help, he decided to be nice to Gao Yiyan. "Okay, it's my fault. But a little pain is nothing for a grown man."
Gao Yiyan was really convinced: "Shi Guilin, listen to what people say."
"Tsk, why are you so nosy?" Shi Guilin became impatient and snatched Nian Nian from Gao Yiyan.
Nian Nian, who was not aware of the situation, did not pay any attention to the fact that she was being robbed.
His finger was still aching slightly from being pricked, so no matter whose arms he sat in, he would pout and look down at his painful index finger with tears in his eyes.
But Gao Yiyan, whose baby was snatched away, took a breath and prepared to protest.
However, he fell silent before the protest could be made.
Shi Guilin suddenly reached out and patted his aching shoulder and neck twice. After that, he took Nian Nian's little hand that had not been used to draw blood and patted the same place, as if to drive away ashes.
"Is it okay now? We, father and son, will work together to relieve your pain, Dr. Gao." Shi Guilin deliberately spoke in a respectful tone to disgust him.
Nian Nian once again followed behind her father and parroted his words: "Slow down, slow down, it hurts."
Suddenly, Gao Yiyan exhaled the deep breath he had taken lightly, like a useless empty gas tank that couldn't produce any fire.
Perhaps it was because he had been a rather unruly person since he was young and not many kids would act cute with him, so Nian Nian's soft and sweet words and Shi Guilin's mischievous submission were very appealing to him.
"Since the cute little Nian Nian comforted me, I won't make a fuss about it." He left these words awkwardly, turning the painful incident into a passing chapter.
Shi Guilin quietly complained that the stingy guy was pretending to be generous.
Gao Yiyan: "The project has been checked. When the results come out, you don't have to make an extra trip to get the form. I will send you an electronic version of the diagnosis directly. If Nian Nian really has any problems, you can bring your child to see a doctor."
"Yeah." When talking about Nian Nian's health problems, Shi Guilin was quite serious. "I'll treat you to dinner after the examination."
"Have you lost your way in dealing with social interactions in the entertainment industry?" Gao Yiyan laughed.
"You're not happy even though I'm thanking you." Shi Guilin rolled his eyes.
"The friendship between us can never be expressed with just a meal." Gao Yiyan raised his eyelids and glanced at Shi Guilin. "Shi Guilin, you still say you haven't become stupid from being in the entertainment industry. When you asked me for help before, did you always say you would treat me to a meal as a thank you? Every time you did that, you acted bossy."
Shi Guilin was silent for a moment, "It seems to be true. The entertainment industry has caused a lot of harm to people." The next second, he thought about it in reverse, "Gao Yiyan, what do you mean by that? If I don't treat you like a dog, you will feel uncomfortable?"
"Don't misinterpret what I mean. Otherwise, you'd better go back to the entertainment industry." Gao Yiyan took off his glasses and hung them on his collar.
As they chatted, the two of them and their son returned to Gao Yiyan's private office.
Shi Guilin put on his mask again, shook his fisherman's hat, and planned to put it on Nian Nian.
Gao Yiyan didn't say much, just waved to Nian Nian and said, "Goodbye, little Nian Nian."
Saying goodbye to this skill, Nian Nian had become very proficient in it today. The little guy waved confidently: "Bye."
