Chapter 1075: Chapter 1072: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (33)

Bai Lu couldn’t quite fathom her own state of mind, and, in fact, she felt she wasn’t thinking about anything at all as she numbly followed Yan Xu into the car.

Even because Yan Xu’s leg was still a bit weak, she helped the driver support him into the vehicle.

It wasn’t until they had driven quite a distance from the Hospital that Bai Lu slowly came back to her senses.

She turned her head to look at Yan Xu, "Are you tired after going out like this?"

From the moment she saw Yan Xu to following him home for dinner, she had been in a daze, but now that her IQ kicked in, she remembered to ask about how he was feeling.

"It’s okay, I used a wheelchair for mobility during the checkup."

Bai Lu wasn’t particularly sensitive when interacting with others, but being with Yan Xu, she always found herself thinking a little more than usual.

She looked at Yan Xu intently, "Young Master Yan, you seem to be in quite a good mood today?"

If he wasn’t in a good mood, a question like asking if he was tired—which in his view would simply be pointless small talk—would at most get a yes or no answer.

But today, he was unusually gracious, not only providing an answer but also the reason for it.

Yan Xu also looked at her, "Why should I be in a bad mood?"

Implicitly, he was admitting that he indeed felt good since there was no reason for him to feel otherwise.

Bai Lu smiled, "Young Master Yan, I used to think that aside from being with your family, you had no emotions. So, seeing you in a good mood makes me feel like I’ve leveled up."

Bai Lu didn’t dwell on it too much, but indeed she hoped that his improved mood had something to do with her.

"I’m not a machine, how could I not have feelings?"

After saying that, Yan Xu turned away to look out the car window.

Bai Lu restrained her smile and stared at his chiseled and handsome profile, "Yan Xu, I’ve noticed you’ve not only gained weight recently but also became much paler."

Yan Xu turned his gaze back, looking down at his hand as he flexed his joints.

"Doctor Bai, when do you think I can resume training?"

Bai Lu was taken aback. Apparently, his focus was not on his weight or complexion but on regaining the strength that his illness had sapped.

"You’ll need to ask Director Luo about that. But for now, you definitely can’t handle the intense training. You’re not ready for that kind of stress yet."

A flash of disappointment swept quickly across Yan Xu’s eyes, and for some reason, Bai Lu suddenly felt a pang of compassion.

"Don’t worry, given your current rate of recovery, it should be very soon."

Yan Xu looked at her but said nothing.

Bai Lu was quite annoyed with herself, cursing inwardly for bringing up a topic that was clearly a sore spot for him.

The car fell into an awkward silence.

Bai Lu turned to look out the window, and her gaze inadvertently caught a preserved fruit shop on the roadside. She grasped at straws, trying to pull Yan Xu out of his slump.

"When will Xiao Xiao come over? I promised her I’d buy her some apricot dry..."

Sure enough, Yan Xu was quick to respond when the topic turned to Xiao Xiao.

"She doesn’t have the time for now. The little girl has been busy learning some kind of assessment from Daddy, she’s quite occupied!"

Bai Lu clicked her tongue, "Xiao Xiao, a delicate Little Princess, actually has the brain of a business prodigy. Tell me, how many people would be fooled by her looks, right?"

Yan Xu smiled for a rarity, "Who wouldn’t be deceived by her? She’s got a mouth as sweet as honey. From the oldest to the youngest in the family, who doesn’t she have wrapped around her finger?"

While Yan Xu seemed to be criticizing his precious little sister, in fact, he was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes twinkling with mirth.

Seeing him finally cheerful, Bai Lu surreptitiously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yen Yen is just as taken with her, and what’s more, she won’t let him call her sister. Did you know about that?"

One playing the role of a brother and the other of a sister, both had plenty to say when it came to their beloved siblings.

"I’ve heard about her, she’s so vain, how could she possibly be willing to be someone’s big sister, it’s tiring!"

Bai Lu found that Yan Xu really did have a good understanding of his sister.

"Xiao Xiao is really fortunate to have a brother like you."

She thought, if she had a brother like Yan Xu, maybe she would develop a personality as sweet and charming as Xiao Xiao’s.

Of course, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with how she was now, but they say a woman who can act spoiled has the best fortune. If she could have half of Xiao Xiao’s ability to act spoiled, maybe she would...

What would she do?

It seemed like nothing much would change after all.

She was quite happy with how she was now!

Bai Lu’s habitual optimism took her on a brief detour before finding its way back to confidence. Seeing that Yan Xu didn’t answer her, she smiled and pointed at herself.

"Yen Yen is also very fortunate to have me as a sister, so, you’re a good brother, and I’m a good sister."

Yan Xu blinked, and whether he agreed or not, Bai Lu didn’t care.

She believed she was, so she was.

When the two of them arrived home, it wasn’t completely dark yet. The car stopped, Bai Lu got out first, and clattered around to Yan Xu’s side, helping him who was already stepping onto the ground.

Yan Xu originally had one hand on the car frame and the other on the door, but he paused for a moment and placed the hand that was on the car frame on Bai Lu’s shoulder.

Bai Lu naturally leaned her body over to help Yan Xu stand up using her as support.

Actually, Yan Xu’s recovery was going quite well. The only reason he didn’t stand too long or walk too quickly was because the rehabilitation therapist and the doctor had requested it, and he was simply complying.

He leaned on Bai Lu’s shoulder as he got out of the car, turned his head to look at her, and saw her looking down, biting her lip, her face full of worry.

"Grandpa found that massage therapist, and it seems quite effective."

His words seemed like a continuation of that WeChat conversation from a couple of weeks ago, but in fact, it was meant to comfort Bai Lu.

Bai Lu lifted her long, curled eyelashes, her eyes showing a faint hint of joy, "Really?"

Yan Xu nodded, shifted a small part of his weight onto her shoulder, and began to walk in step with her.

"Really, my grandfather used to get injured frequently as well, and it was that massage therapist who took care of his rehabilitation massages."

Bai Lu made a sound of acknowledgment and helped Yan Xu into the room.

The approaching butler was startled, "Young Master, what is this..."

Yan Xu hurriedly gave him a look, "I’m fine, just walked too much just now and felt a bit weak."

The butler, a very perceptive middle-aged uncle, quickly came over to help Yan Xu on the other arm, "Then you should go and rest right away, Doctor Bai, you’ve worked hard."

Bai Lu honestly smiled, "I’m just freeloading a meal..."

The butler also smiled, invited her to sit down, and went to the kitchen to bring tea and fruits.

"Doctor Bai, your room has been kept as it was. Do you need someone to change things like the bed sheets?"

The butler was shrewd and didn’t need Yan Xu to say anything before he took the initiative to ask to keep a guest over.

"No need for trouble..."

"Go change to a clean set, the humidity has been quite high recently, and there’s a musty smell!"

Bai Lu and Yan Xu spoke at the same time, and the butler, naturally, followed the orders of the young master of the house.

"Alright, I’ll have someone change it right away."

Bai Lu felt a bit embarrassed, "Actually, it’s just for one night, it’s really not necessary to go through all that trouble."

Yan Xu ignored her and looked up to give another instruction to the butler, "Air out the room, get rid of the dampness, and the flowers in the backyard are blooming nicely, pick some and put them in a vase."
