Chapter 1063: Chapter 1060: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (21)

Yan Xu was half reclined on the bed, the blanket covering his lower body, with a book resting on top. When he heard Bai Lu’s voice, he looked up in surprise, "Mommy said you would come over tomorrow..."

Bai Lu closed the door gently and flashed him a radiant smile, "That was the plan. But then I couldn’t stop worrying about you, so I rushed over."

Bai Lu was a straightforward person; moreover, she didn’t think that worrying about Yan Xu was something to be coy about.

Yan Xu was taken aback by her directness, and by the time he had come to his senses, Bai Lu had already approached him. After examining him carefully and nodding in satisfaction, she said, "Home really is the best place for recuperation. You’ve only been back a few days and you already look much better."

Yan Xu furrowed his brows, "What about you, you look like you’re at death’s door. You look more like a patient than I do."

Bai Lu touched her face and chuckled, "Can’t help it. Who made me a doctor? Lifesaving is a big responsibility, and my own life and death are of little concern..."

The latter part was said in jest.

However, whether Yan Xu was too sleepy or simply lacked a sense of humor, he responded seriously without a trace of amusement, "I don’t need it!"

"Huh!?"

Bai Lu didn’t quite understand what he meant by not needed and just stared at him with her beautiful eyes, wide open.

Indeed, Bai Lu’s face looked worn and pale, but her eyes were still as clear as crystals.

After a few seconds of eye contact with her, Yan Xu almost felt dizzy from the light in her eyes.

He steadied himself and explained impatiently, "I don’t need you to disregard your own life to save me..."

Bai Lu leaned in a bit closer and looked at him seriously.

"Tsk, that was an exaggeration. Can’t you take a joke?"

Yan Xu turned his face away, "I’m a military person, not a comedy actor!"

Bai Lu stopped teasing him and turned to bring the medicine box over, "Young Master Yan, please have some pity on me and cooperate with the check-up. I’m truly exhausted. If you’re willing, I could fall asleep on this bed right now!"

Yan Xu’s face was stern, "You dare!?"

For Bai Lu, it wasn’t about daring or not; it was unnecessary.

However, she was so hungry and tired that she didn’t even have the energy to tease him anymore.

"I wouldn’t dare, Young Master Yan. Please open your mouth."

Bai Lu put the thermometer under his tongue and after he obediently closed his mouth, she quickly placed the blood pressure cuff around his wrist.

The beeping sounds followed one another, and Bai Lu recorded the values, along with a few other routine checks. All the while, she asked about his dietary intake, bowel movements, and sleep quality for the day.

Yan Xu answered them all, and Bai Lu recorded each response.

"It seems that your recovery is going better than both Director Luo and I anticipated."

After putting the medicine box away, Bai Lu turned to Yan Xu and confirmed that his recuperation over the past few days was extremely satisfactory.

Yan Xu nodded to show he understood and waved his hand, signaling she could leave.

"Alright, I want to sleep now!"

Bai Lu said goodnight with a smile and walked out.

If it had been anyone else, they probably would have been hurt by Yan Xu’s indifferent, use-and-discard approach.

But Bai Lu was no ordinary person; she could read the tenderness for her in his blunt words and impatient expression.

What a guy with a mouth that doesn’t match his heart!

Bai Lu scorned in her mind, yet a warm feeling was gradually rising from the depths of her heart.

A few minutes later, Bai Lu sat in the dining room, wolfing down a bowl of noodles, while not forgetting to give Zhu Qianying a thumbs up in praise as she ate.

"Auntie Ying Zi, the noodles you cooked are really delicious!"

Zhu Qianying sat down opposite her, "If it’s tasty, I’ll make it for you every day!"

This statement from Zhu Qianying was ambiguous, but Bai Lu knew that by "every day," she meant the period Bai Lu served as Yan Xu’s primary care physician.

"If that’s the case, I’ll turn into a big fat pig!"

"No, you won’t. Look at your Uncle Yan, and also baby boy and Xiao Xiao, don’t they have good figures? You have to believe, I pay a lot of attention to matching, this is a non-fattening recipe."

Zhu Qianying watched in the dining room as Bai Lu finished her noodles then lifted the bowl to drink all the soup, only then, satisfied, did she collect the bowls and chopsticks and urged her to go take a bath and go to bed quickly.

As Bai Lu walked out of the dining room, Zhu Qianying called out to her again.

"Xiao Xiao has prepared a bunch of activities, asking you to accompany her tomorrow, but just ignore her. That little girl has too much energy, whoever she catches is in for it."

Bai Lu smiled and nodded, "I know, it’s a shame Yen Yen doesn’t have the time, otherwise they could make a perfect pair to plague each other."

Zhu Qianying also smiled, "Yes, the little girl said so herself, these activities were originally prepared for Yen Yen to be her companion. Since Yen Yen doesn’t have the time and her brother is not up to it, this arduous task has fallen on you."

Bai Lu couldn’t help but find Zhu Qianying’s final words amusing even after she had taken a bath and lay in bed.

As it turned out, her family and Zhu Qianying’s family were very close due to her Mommy’s sisterly relationship with Zhu Qianying, and her own relationship with her siblings and Xiao Xiao had always been good since childhood. As for herself, she had always treated Xiao Xiao as a younger sister.

And little princess Xiao Xiao, although a few months older than Zong Xiaoyan, still acted extremely spoiled and cute in his presence without any awareness of being an older sister, because she was a girl who had been pampered by a host of elders as she grew up.

Unlike her and Yan Xu, who were also only a few months apart in age, she always treated Yan Xu like a brat.

It seems that the time they spent playing together as children was so profoundly etched in her mind that even now, despite Yan Xu having grown into a cool and distant man, she still saw him as that haughty, soft, and cute little bean.

That night, Bai Lu dreamt of those childhood days again, chasing Young Master on the beach, with Yan Uncle tirelessly teaching her to swim...

Bai Lu was woken up by her alarm clock early in the morning. Although Zhu Qianying had mentioned during her noodle meal that Yan Xu’s condition was very stable and that the morning checkup could be delayed, it mattered little.

But Bai Lu was a person who knew the distinction between public and private matters. Putting aside her identity as a doctor, she was Yan Xu’s friend.

The reason she lived there was primarily because Yan Xu was her patient, and she could not tolerate negligence in her work because of familiarity.

Moreover, for someone like Yan Xu, who was in long-term, high-intensity work, the chances of an accident occurring were higher than commoners.

After washing up and changing clothes, Bai Lu knocked on the next door, only to be greeted by Zhu Qianying.

"Hey, girl, why are you so earnest? Didn’t I tell you to sleep in a bit more?"

Zhu Qianying affectionately patted her head while chiding her and stepped aside to let her in.

The caregiver was pushing Yan Xu in a wheelchair out of the bathroom, and upon seeing Bai Lu, Yan Xu was also a bit surprised.

"So early?"

Clearly, the patient had been informed that the morning checkup had been postponed.
