Chapter 77: Suggestive (2/2)

“Lu Chenzhou?” The nurse pinched the needle tip, verifying his identity.

Lu Chenzhou didn’t speak, so Cheng Xi had to answer for him. “Yes, he’s Lu Chenzhou.”

The nurse glanced at her, and then lowered the needle, preparing to give him an injection. Lu Chenzhou stretched out his hand rigidly, and the nurse had to tap his wrist several times before finally saying, “Relax.”

But despite the request, Mr. Lu’s hand remained as taut as ever. Even though he was trying his hardest to cooperate, his muscles contracted of their own accord.

His physique wasn’t bad, and the muscles in his hand were well developed. Once he got nervous, his muscles became bundles of steel.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi suddenly grabbed his other hand as she lightly called out to him.

Lu Chenzhou turned around subconsciously, his mind relaxing for a moment. And in that moment, the nurse found the correct vein and thrust the needle into his skin.

Good, there was blood flowing.

Beautiful people always received preferential treatment. Were he an ordinary man, the nurse might have sneered at him and left upon realizing that such a big fellow was afraid of a needle. But because he was so handsome, the nurse even comforted him. “Look, it doesn’t hurt, does it? Don’t be so anxious.”

Cheng Xi couldn’t help but laugh, which made Lu Chenzhou glare at her. When the nurse left, he snatched her hand, pulled it next to his face, and ran his teeth over it.

There wasn’t any blood, but he did leave a neat row of teeth marks; it didn’t hurt, but it was quite suggestive.

Cheng Xi took her hand back, somewhat embarrassed, but Lu Chenzhou behaved like nothing had happened. He closed his eyes and shamelessly requested, “I’d like to hear a story.”

His tone was cold, but his voice was hoarse. Without his usual power, he sounded like an awkward child acting coyly with an adult.

Cheng Xi didn’t refuse and told him a story, his favorite one. Lu Chenzhou must have been exhausted, because he fell asleep before she could even finish. Cheng Xi adjusted his bed a little to help him sleep easier, only leaving when she saw him sleeping soundly.

As she exited the room, she saw Cai Yi looking at her strangely.

Cheng Xi couldn’t help but touch her face as she asked, “What is it? Is there something on my face?”

Cai Yi merely responded, “Cheng Xi, how old are you?”

“Twenty-nine.”

“Hmm, age isn’t the problem. At least now I know why, despite your looks and personality, you’ve never been in a romantic relationship until now.”

Cheng Xi was very surprised, as this seemed like a random topic to bring up; when had Professor Cai started behaving like an ordinary woman, gossiping about such things? But she didn’t correct her; the main reason why she had never been in a relationship was because that person wasn’t here. Once he returned, however, she had indeed quickly gotten into one.

Somewhat amused, she asked, “Why do you say that?”

“Because the way you look at other people is too benevolent. From their point of view, your eyes probably remind them of their mother’s.”

Cheng Xi choked quite abruptly.

Cai Yi laughed loudly, and then she dragged Cheng Xi to her office. Instead of first discussing Lu Chenzhou’s illness, she instead asked, “Cheng Xi, even though you’re more of a mother than me, what will you do if someone particularly likes that aspect of you? Let me ask you something—tell me honestly, have you ever considered getting into a relationship with your patients?”

After running around for the entire morning, Cheng Xi had been thirsty and had naturally poured herself a glass of water and taken a sip right as she entered. When Cai Yi asked such a bizarre question, she almost choked again.
