Chapter 1078: Chapter 1075: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (36)

Bai Lu didn’t want to put on makeup, but she had no choice—the poor quality of her sleep last night had left her with two glaring dark circles that were frightfully obvious.

She suspected she was bewitched, for as a doctor, she had seen countless male bodies, both dressed and undressed.

Even Yan Xu, when he was her patient lying on the surgical bed, she had seen him.

However, those were, to her, just the bodies of patients.

Only last night did Yan Xu’s bare back and upper body make her realize for the first time that this was the body of a man.

Moreover, a body that exuded a strong masculine force!

It also made her feel for the first time the natural aggressiveness and danger that came from male to female.

The awakening of these perceptions made her anxious and left her at a loss.

Her life had always been under her control, always steering in the direction she wanted.

This sense of losing control instinctively made her want to avoid it.

Bai Lu quickly made a decision, until she could sort out the jumbled mess in her mind, it would be better not to see Yan Xu for the time being.

Of course, this decision was actually a bit unnecessary.

Because she and Yan Xu barely interacted in the first place.

As long as she didn’t always try to evoke his memories and affection from childhood, and as long as she didn’t initiate, their relationship, besides doctor and patient, was nothing more than acquaintances who had briefly interacted in their youth.

"I dreamt all night and got awful dark circles."

Having made up her mind, Bai Lu chatted with Yan Xu casually, "Why are you up so early too?"

It was just past six in the morning— he didn’t have to go to work and could have slept in longer.

"I’m used to it."

Yan Xu joined her in the dining room, sitting down as was his usual routine.

Distracted and in a bit of a hurry, Bai Lu quickly ate two steamed buns and drank a glass of milk before setting down her bowl.

She went to the bedroom to grab her bag, while Yan Xu was still sitting in the dining room eating porridge.

Standing at the edge of the dining room, she said to Yan Xu, "I’ll wash these clothes and bring them back..."

Yan Xu glanced at the clothes she was wearing, "No need, if you bring them back, they won’t fit Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao was taller than Bai Lu—the aunt must have specifically picked out an outfit from a year or two ago.

Bai Lu nodded, "Okay then, I’ll tell Xiao Xiao. I’m off then, keep up the good work."

Yan Xu put down his bowl, saw her to the door, and watched her get into her car before he turned back inside.

Bai Lu returned to the Public Hospital and first went to Director Luo to retrieve the data she had left there the day before.

Director Luo wasn’t in, but his assistant was.

The assistant took the keys and retrieved a large stack of data from the file cabinet to hand to Bai Lu, "The director also asked me to deliver it to you at noon, but you’re here now, saving me the trip."

Bai Lu smiled as she went to receive the data, "Sorry for the trouble."

The assistant shook his head, "Don’t be so formal, otherwise the director might think I’m bullying his young disciple."

Bai Lu had no choice but to let him help her carry the large stack of data to her car.

"Oh, Director Luo asked you to give him a call tonight."

Bai Lu nodded and said thank you again before the assistant turned to leave.

Meanwhile, the Yan Family’s driver had not yet left and passed by Director Luo’s assistant.

"Uncle Wen, why haven’t you left yet?"

Uncle Wen handed over a large box, "Master had me put it in the car last night. He said it’s a snack specialty the Madam brought back from her trip. I forgot to give it to you."

Bai Lu couldn’t refuse, so she opened the car door, "Then please pass my thanks to Grandpa!"

Upon returning to the hospital, she brought the data and snacks back to her office in two trips and casually threw them in the corner of her desk.

She was busy until noon, then she thought of the large box of snacks and opened it up to see Crisp cakes, beef jerky, chicken feet, and various other snacks inside.

Bai Lu was suddenly very confused. An old lady like Grandmamma, who only talked about health, had actually sent her a box of snacks?

However, since the driver said so, Bai Lu couldn’t exactly call the Yan Family to verify with Yan Yuan.

That evening, after finishing work, she went home, enjoyed a nice bath, and thought about the box of snacks. She felt it deserved a Small Drink to complement it properly.

She sat on the bay window, one foot on the windowsill and the other dangling to the floor, with an open bottle of red wine and snacks like beef jerky, chicken feet, and duck necks on the sill.

She picked up her mobile phone and took two photos of the red wine and pile of snacks, then sent the photos to Yan Xu on WeChat.

"Thank them for me, Grandpa and Grandma, having some Small Drink with these is just perfect!"

By the time Yan Xu replied to her, she had already had a glass of red wine and nibbled on a few spicy duck necks.

"Who says spicy duck necks and beer are the perfect match? Clearly, they go great with red wine too!"

She posted on her Friends Circle, attaching a photo that featured a vibrant night scene in the background with an empty wine glass and duck neck bones.

After posting to her Friends Circle, she realized Yan Xu had replied to her with a voice message.

"I just finished acupuncture and saw your message. Too much wine harms the body, don’t drink too much."

Bai Lu was not planning to drink much anyway, she replied to Yan Xu with a "Thanks for your concern", then cleaned up the stuff on the windowsill and returned to her computer desk to continue scanning literature and organizing data.

Two days later, she finally had an afternoon off and headed home, stopping by the preserved fruit shop. She bought some dried apricots, left an address, and asked the store to send them to Xiaoxiao.

Aside from selling various dried fruits and preserved fruits, the preserved fruit shop also had various fruit juices and gummies and candies, arranged in beautiful shapes, which were very tempting.

Bai Lu had recently developed a fondness for candy, but she had had a wisdom tooth flare-up recently, and the dentist warned her not to eat too much sugar. The fructose here was mostly sour and sweet, and according to the store owner, it was made from one hundred percent fruit juice, which is less harmful to the teeth.

Bai Lu didn’t investigate this claim thoroughly. After all, she wanted to eat, and the store owner gave her a good excuse to indulge.

She wandered around the store for a while, bought a dozen kinds of fruit candies, and the store owner, a clever young lady, thoughtfully packed them into three transparent boxes for her. Bai Lu couldn’t resist snapping a photo, said nothing, and directly posted the picture on her Friends Circle.

"Little sister, do you like to spread jam on Toast to eat?"

The young lady had always thought Bai Lu was a University Student, and Bai Lu didn’t correct her, so the lady kept calling her that.

"I love it!"

When Bai Lu was busy, she often managed a meal with two slices of Toast and a glass of milk, sometimes even for lunch or Dinner.

If there were jam, that would undoubtedly multiply the deliciousness of the Toast.

"I have homemade Strawberry jam and Orange jam here, if you like, I can give you two bottles?"

Bai Lu thanked the young lady, carried the candy out of the store, and went next door to the Bakery to buy some Hamburgers and Toast.

She had been worrying about what Takeout to order tonight, but now, she had a plan.
