Chapter 1050: Chapter 1047: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Side Story (8)

"Doctor Bai, no matter what your reasons are for taking care of me, I’d like to thank you first. However, I don’t need your care, nor do I need your extra concern. Forgive my bluntness, but what you’re doing is bothering me, and even, annoying me!"

If Bai Lu had a scalpel in hand, she would probably just crack open his skull to see what had become of his brain.

She huffed angrily as she placed the porridge on the bedside cabinet, glaring wide-eyed at Yan Xu, "Young Master Yan, I know you just don’t remember me, so I won’t hold it against you!"

Fuming, Bai Lu’s chest heaved, but she didn’t leave. Instead, she slid open the balcony door, stepped out, and then slammed it shut forcefully.

As autumn deepened, Bai Lu, with her arms crossed, brooded alone, her gaze resting on the orchids swaying in the autumn breeze.

Suddenly, she remembered the time she had stayed at the Yan Family as a child, when the little rascal baby boy would occasionally pick fresh flowers from the garden. Aside from giving them to his mommy, he would give her one too.

As adorable as the baby boy was then, so dreadful was Yan Xu now!

"Achoo! Achoo..."

The cool wind greeted her, causing Bai Lu, who was only wearing a thin dress shirt, to sneeze several times in a row.

Shivering, Bai Lu pushed the door and returned to the hospital room, where Yan Xu, who was eating porridge in small bites, lifted his eyelids to glance at her and then said indifferently, "If you get sick, don’t blame it on me."

Bai Lu shot him a fierce look, "Young Master Yan, rest assured! I’ll definitely blame it on you. I’m going to tell Aunt Ying Zi that you bullied me! You chased me out to the balcony in the cold to freeze!"

Yan Xu scooped the last spoonful of porridge into his mouth, "Doctor Bai, I have a professional question to ask!"

"What?"

"Is there a cure for idiocy?"

As he spoke, Yan Xu pushed the empty bowl towards her.

Fuming, Bai Lu wondered if this rotten Yan Xu was insinuating she was an idiot by beating around the bush?

But she was never one to shy away from difficulties; on the contrary, she always faced them head-on.

"Young Master Yan, there’s no cure for idiocy; and I officially declare, from today onwards, the idiot doctor is stuck with you. If you dare to mess with me from start to finish, watch out, I’ll accuse you of abandonment!"

With a look of disgust, Yan Xu pushed the bowl towards her again, "Get me another bowl of porridge!"

With a chuckle, Bai Lu replied, "Sorry, Young Master Yan, the idiot doctor has problems even taking care of herself, call the caregiver to add some for you."

After saying that, Bai Lu turned and walked out of the hospital room.

She was never one to tolerate nonsense. Just because he was the young master of the Yan Family didn’t mean she, Bai Lu from the Zong Family, would put up with it.

"What happened? Young Master Yan gave you a hard time again?"

Director Luo, seeing his own apprentice come in disheveled, couldn’t resist teasing her a bit.

Bai Lu pursed her lips, "I don’t care about his attitude! I’m just being patient because he is a wounded soldier and has lost his memory; I’m just making allowances for him."

Mutual forbearance and accommodation in a relationship aren’t disgraceful.

But she realized that her patience and accommodation had only led to Yan Xu’s wariness and suspicion. Could this mean her approach was wrong?

"Xiao Bai, sometimes men are really despicable; they usually don’t cherish what is willingly offered to them."

His disciple’s good intentions were so trampled, and as her master, he felt pained.

Bai Lu nodded in agreement, "Exactly, that rotten kid just doesn’t know what’s good for him!"

Director Luo grunted in agreement, "That’s right, for a young master like him, you need to be tough. You can’t indulge him; otherwise, you’ll suffer later on!"

Director Luo seemed to be inciting his daughter to tame her son-in-law, and Bai Lu didn’t even notice the inappropriateness of the situation.

"Master, I’ll be going home soon. Remember to cover for me with the leaders, okay?"

Director Luo made an OK gesture.

Bai Lu took out her mobile phone, opened the takeout app, and ordered the young master’s lunch and dinner from a nearby best hotel, setting the delivery time. Then, she took a drama ticket from Director Luo and went off to have some fun herself.

After watching the drama, Bai Lu spent the afternoon wandering the streets alone, buying heaps of food, items, and clothes. When she got hungry, she found a private restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal before heading home, taking a bath, and falling asleep immediately.

The next morning, she got up early as usual, bought some breakfast near the public hospital, and carried it to make her rounds.

To her surprise, Yan Xu, who should have been lying in bed, was actually moving slowly, supporting himself by the bedside.

Bai Lu was terrified, "Young Master Yan, how could you get out of bed?"

Yan Xu looked up at her, "I think I can get out of bed now!"

Bai Lu was fuming mad, "Yan Xu, who’s the doctor here, you or me? You need to rest right now!"

Yet, Yan Xu was very stubborn and continued moving forward slowly.

"You are the doctor, but it’s my body, and I know better what it can withstand."

Bai Lu couldn’t persuade him and turned to glare at the caregiver accompanying him.

"Who came to visit yesterday?"

Bai Lu guessed that something must have provoked him, causing him to act so recklessly.

Because, ever since he had regained consciousness, he had been very cooperative, doing whatever the doctor told him to do.

The caregiver shrank back a bit, ultimately unable to withstand Bai Lu’s reproachful gaze, "Two leaders came to visit..."

As for what those two leaders said to Yan Xu, the caregiver naturally did not know.

Bai Lu stepped forward and blocked Yan Xu, "Yan Xu, if you want to live to perform your duties, get back into bed now!"

Standing face-to-face with him, Bai Lu increasingly felt that Yan Xu was not the same young boy she once knew.

The Yan Xu of now was nearly a head taller than her. Although he had lost weight due to his injuries, he still stood there, his frame strong and upright. As he lowered his eyes, an intimidating presence seemed to cascade down towards her.

But Bai Lu wasn’t easily intimidated; she met his gaze directly, with a firm tone, she repeated,

"Yan Xu, as your doctor, I command you to get back into bed, otherwise, I’ll report to the higher-ups that you need to stay in the hospital for at least another half-year before you can be discharged."

Yan Xu’s eyebrows knotted, "Dr. Bai, are you settling personal scores?"

If it weren’t for the fact he was a wounded soldier and couldn’t withstand much exertion, Bai Lu would definitely have kicked him to bring him to his senses.

"Yan Xu, I hold no grudges against you! You are just my patient right now, and I am speaking from a doctor’s standpoint. If you feel I am retaliating against you, you are free to continue moving around, but let me remind you, even if you have Aunt Ying Zi come and beg for mercy, I will not soften my heart."

Yan Xu stared at her steadily, and Bai Lu, without flinching, met his gaze.

The two faced each other unwaveringly for dozens of seconds until finally, Yan Xu could not endure it any longer, gesturing for the caregiver to help him back into bed.

Bai Lu performed a routine check-up with a stoic face, entered the data into the chart item by item, turned around to leave, but then heard Yan Xu complain, "Why is the porridge so awful today!"
