Chapter 1049: Chapter 1046: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (7)

Bai Lu did what she promised and called her superiors from the car to request time off as soon as she left the hospital room.

The leader was reluctant to give in at first, "Xiao Bai, you are the backbone of the hospital. You’ve just taken a few days off, and now you’re requesting more time off. Who will be responsible for the patients in line?"

Since Bai Lu dared to make the call, she naturally had her wording well thought out ahead of time.

"Dean, didn’t I just help Director Luo with a critical patient the other day? This patient has some significant clout, and there are some issues that need follow-up after surgery. The public hospital is paying special attention to this case, but as you know, Director Luo is a very busy man. It’s impossible for him to do the follow-up, so the job has fallen to me."

Director Luo was someone not only the people from the branch hospital held in awe, but even the dean of the public hospital. So, upon hearing that it was something related to Director Luo, the leader didn’t dare to obstruct her and immediately agreed after confirming how many days off she needed.

Zhu Qianying and her husband would be back the day after tomorrow, but Bai Lu asked for five days off.

After expressing her gratitude to the leader for their understanding, Bai Lu turned around and called Director Luo.

Director Luo agreed to cover for her without hesitation, "Alright then, you might as well come to the public hospital tomorrow morning. Yan Xu, the patient, will be temporarily under your care for the next couple of days. This way, your leave will seem even more justified."

Bai Lu’s crafty plan succeeded, and she laughed hee hee in triumph, "Thank you, Master!"

"Blockhead!" Director Luo couldn’t help but scold her, even though he was covering for her. He still felt sorry for his little disciple, "Little girl, that’s enough. Don’t wear yourself out!"

Bai Lu was never one to easily retreat. She hummed in agreement with her mouth, but her heart was prepared to forge ahead no matter what.

After returning home, Bai Lu took a shower, poured herself a glass of fruit wine, and began to search for gourmet food nearby on her mobile phone.

Her Mommy was a kitchen idiot, and while Bai Lu wasn’t that bad, the thought of Yan Xu’s Mommy and Grandma’s cooking skills dissuaded her from overreaching herself.

After finishing her wine and ordering the porridge that Yan Xu would eat tomorrow morning, she fell asleep not long after getting into bed, slightly buzzed from the alcohol.

Bai Lu thought that Director Luo would give Yan Xu a heads up first.

But when she entered the hospital room in her lab coat carrying breakfast, Yan Xu was visibly surprised, "Where’s Director Luo?"

Bai Lu handed her rounds record to him, "Director Luo has two major surgeries. For the next two days, you can come directly to me with any problems."

Yan Xu frowned slightly, "Doctor Bai, this makes me quite uncomfortable."

Bai Lu handed the breakfast to a nurse, asking her to place it on the coffee table.

Then she looked at Yan Xu with a smile, "Uncomfortable? Is it because I’m too pretty?"

Throughout her upbringing, Bai Lu had hardly experienced the phase of a girl’s springtime yearnings. While other girls were full of romantic aspirations, she had been immersed in vast medical works.

Those who didn’t know her well all assumed she was just a bookworm who only cared about studying.

But in reality, she wasn’t a bookworm at all, and her temperament was definitely on the cheerful and sunny side. Moreover, she knew how to enjoy life.

And Yan Xu, evidently like most people, had a stereotypical image of doctors and naturally assumed that Bai Lu would be serious and nun-like.

Caught off guard by her teasing, he was initially taken aback, then found himself involuntarily taking a closer look at her.

Having looked her over properly, he had to admit that although this little doctor had an annoying temperament, she was actually quite attractive.

However, he only kept these thoughts to himself. To Bai Lu, he simply responded coolly, "Hardly, I’ve seen plenty of beauties!"

Bai Lu couldn’t help but chuckle at Yan Xu’s seemingly casual but actually serious denial, "Yan Xu, I know you’ve seen plenty of beauties, because Aunt Ying Zi and little sister are all peerless beauties!"

When she mentioned his family, Yan Xu frowned again.

Bai Lu, busy noting down the temperature reported by the nurse on the chart, did not notice his displeasure.

After the examination, Bai Lu asked the nurse to take the record chart and deliver it to Director Luo’s office.

She then went to wash her hands in the toilet and came out to serve porridge for Yan Xu.

The porridge smelled quite fragrant, and the rice was well-cooked, soft, and creamy.

"I asked Aunt Ying Zi, and she said that besides eating breakfast made by her and Grandma Jing, you only like Mingxuan’s snacks and tea. However, the Mingxuan in the capital is too far away from here, and I couldn’t make it on time, so I picked this porridge shop nearby. Just make do with it and have some."

She had never tasted the food from this porridge shop, but its online ratings were the highest in the vicinity. After placing the order last night, she got up early in the morning and took an extra twenty-minute detour to pick up these breakfast items.

Yan Xu still had to control his diet, eating small meals frequently. Bai Lu only filled half a bowl of porridge and handed it to Yan Xu, but he stubbornly refused to take it.

"What’s the matter? Will you only eat if it’s made by Aunt Ying Zi or your mother-in-law?"

Bai Lu anxiously pushed the bowl closer to him again.

Yan Xu remained still, just lifting his eyes to look at her earnestly.

"Doctor Bai, are you always this attentive to your patients? Besides not offering to sleep by their bedsides, do you do everything else for them?"

Bai Lu was immediately amused and angered by his sharp words.

She clicked her tongue, shifted her hips, and sat down on the edge of the bed, tilting her head to look at Yan Xu who was reclining.

The same handsome face, but why had his insides become so abrasive and insensitive?

"Stinky Yan Xu, when did you become such a sourpuss? I’m saying, do you have paranoid delusions? I take care of you, firstly, because we were very close as kids. Even after so many years apart, even if you don’t remember me at all, I still consider you my best friend. Secondly, even if we ignore my personal relationship with you, Aunt Ying Zi is like my own aunt to me. Her son is still recovering from serious injuries, and by taking advantage of my position, I’m just casually helping my aunt take care of her own son, is that wrong?"

Bai Lu wasn’t someone who beat around the bush, and in front of Yan Xu, she never intended to hide her thoughts.

Her eagerness to take care of him was indeed based on the two reasons above.

As for some other reasons that even she herself might not have noticed, that was a separate matter.

But her warm efforts continually brushed up against his cold demeanor, and she couldn’t help but retaliate, venting a torrent of complaints at Yan Xu.

In his life, Yan Xu was rarely on the receiving end of a tirade, and being bombarded with her barrage now, his already defensive heart grew even more uncomfortable.

With his family, he was rather personable.

But having stayed in the Jun Camp for so long and after surviving numerous life-and-death missions, his temperament towards strangers had long since become cold and tough.

Moreover, perhaps due to occupational hazards, he always kept a protective shield up around anyone who wasn’t family or a friend.

And Bai Lu, from the start, had been brash and reckless, constantly trying to break into his off-limits zone, expecting him to treat her kindly—it was simply impossible.
