Chapter 1104: Chapter 1101: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (62)

The Yan Family had a family doctor who lived nearby, so it was quick and easy to call on him whenever needed.

Therefore, Bai Lu didn’t plan to prepare many medicines, just one or two types each for stomachache, cold, fever, and external use, plus two types of emergency heart medication that she placed in the medicine box along with a clearly marked list attached on the outside.

That day, Bai Lu had just finished a night shift. A colleague’s baby boy fell ill, and Bai Lu, being single, nobly covered a shift for her. She was supposed to finish in the morning but didn’t return to the Yan family’s home until the evening.

As soon as she entered, she collapsed on the sofa with no grace whatsoever, her body seemingly falling apart.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Lan felt so bad she quickly brought over some snacks and a cup of hot tea, instructing her, "Doctor Bai, have something to eat to tide you over. Dinner will be ready soon."

Bai Lu acknowledged with a grunt, and waited for Yan Xu to come back from the gym to the main house, only to find that she had fallen asleep on the sofa, hugging a pillow.

Yan Xu frowned, glanced at the untouched snacks on the coffee table, and went to the bedroom to fetch a blanket to cover her. Then he went to the kitchen to tell Aunt Lan, "Let’s have dinner at eight, let Bai Lu sleep for a while."

Aunt Lan paused and asked, "Did she fall asleep?"

Yan Xu hummed in affirmation and walked out to see her sleeping uncomfortably with her head tilted. He went over and gently adjusted her head with a small pillow.

Bai Lu muttered something in her sleep. Thinking she might be waking, Yan Xu looked down at her seriously, only to see that she was deeply asleep, her eyes closed, and her mouth slightly open.

He smiled helplessly, walked to the other side, helped her take off her shoes, lifted her feet onto the sofa, properly covered her with the blanket, and then went to take a shower.

After his shower, Yan Xu picked up a book and sat on the single sofa at the foot of Bai Lu’s, flipping through pages and glancing at her now and then.

As it was nearly eight o’clock, Aunt Lan came out, looked at the peacefully sleeping Bai Lu, glanced uncertainly at Yan Xu, and asked quietly, "Young Master, should we wait a bit longer or...?"

Yan Xu hesitated for a moment then finally lifted his foot and gently touched Bai Lu’s calf.

"Bai Lu, it’s time to get up for dinner!"

Although Bai Lu was a deep sleeper, she woke easily. She sat up with a start, rubbed her eyes, and then looked at Yan Xu confusedly, "How did I fall asleep?"

Yan Xu said seriously, "Your eyelids closed, and you were asleep! That’s how!"

Bai Lu glared at him and then remembered, "I recall Aunt Lan brought me some tea and snacks, told me to use it to tide over until dinner, I thought of resting for a while, but then I fell asleep."

Yan Xu glanced at her, closed his book, and placed it on the armrest, and then stood up, leaning on his knees.

"Go wash your face and then come out to eat."

Bai Lu acknowledged, stood up, and asked, "Hey, who covered me with this blanket?"

Aunt Lan, just about to bring out the soup, smiled, "The Young Master did. He took it from his room. Leave it here, and I’ll fold and put it back later."

Bai Lu thanked Yan Xu’s departing back, folded the blanket neatly, quickly slipped back to her room to wash her face, and then ran out again.

As the two sat down to eat, Bai Lu had just picked up her soup when she heard Yan Xu say, "Doctor Bai, your mental state doesn’t really suit working overtime, does it?"

It had been a long time since Yan Xu had spoken to Bai Lu with such a serious expression. Bai Lu paused, and then surreptitiously stuck out her tongue.

"Report to my officer, I haven’t been working overtime. I just used my rest time to cover for a colleague..."

Yan Xu glanced at her coldly, "What’s the excuse? Doctor Bai, don’t you often preach to me about the importance of balancing work and rest? How come it becomes a double standard when it’s about you?"

Bai Lu, feeling guilty without reason, hastily raised her hand and swore.

"Oh, my double standard was wrong. I won’t do it again. If anyone else asks me to cover their shift, I won’t show off anymore. I’ll only swap, not cover, and definitely no overtime."

Yan Xu nodded slightly, and Bai Lu thought she had managed to smooth things over. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as it turned out, she celebrated too early. From dinner time until later, when they each held a book in the living room, Yan Xu hardly initiated any conversation with Bai Lu.

Bai Lu found it both amusing and a bit helpless. On one hand, she thought Yan Xu was being childish, showing her a stern face over such a small matter.

He never thought about it, always taking the liberty to increase the intensity of his rehabilitation. As a professional, she hadn’t even given him a stern look, yet just because she covered someone else’s shift, he treated her as if she were a stern deity.

On the other hand, she felt somewhat guilty but didn’t know how to coax Yan Xu.

Initially, when Yan Xu misunderstood her, she could shamelessly cling to him, but now that they were familiar with each other, she felt embarrassed to use that tactic.

However, she didn’t have the cooking skills like Yan Xu to prepare something delicious to placate him.

Bai Lu sat at one end of the sofa, absentmindedly flipping through a thick pile of data.

At this moment, Bai Lu didn’t even realize her own abnormality.

In the past, no matter what was on her mind, as long as she picked up some professional data or literature, she could immerse herself in it within seconds, casting aside all other distractions.

But now, to be so unsettled over such a trivial matter, this really wasn’t like her!

After several glances at Yan Xu without ever receiving a look back, Bai Lu couldn’t help but blurt out, "Hey!"

Yan Xu didn’t even flutter an eyelid, just grunted through his nose as a response.

"There’s a new movie premiering tomorrow night, want to go see it?"

As soon as she asked, Bai Lu herself felt it was unattractive.

And it was then that she realized how boring and monotonous her past twenty-three years had been.

For her, these past years were basically spent between the hospital and her apartment, and her leisure activities, aside from shopping, eating out, and watching movies, seemed nonexistent.

"Not going, boring!" Yan Xu didn’t give her any face.

Indeed, her suggestion had no appeal at all.

Bai Lu tugged at her hair, anxiously trying to think of something she hadn’t tried but that might interest Yan Xu.

Singing karaoke?

NO, she didn’t like it!

Drinking?

No, with her poor alcohol tolerance, she’d probably pass out before finishing one drink.

Go to an amusement park?

Tsk, with Yan Xu’s tough-guy persona, if she dared suggest it, he would probably slap her dead on the spot.

Having scratched out a bunch of hair yet still unable to find a satisfactory answer, Bai Lu eventually decided to leave the decision to Yan Xu.

"So where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you!"

Yan Xu didn’t give her any face, "Not interested! I’m busy!"

Bai Lu secretly rolled her eyes; dealing with Yan Xu’s attitude was truly difficult.

"Oh...okay then, I’ll just sleep in at home tomorrow, then head back to the Public Hospital after that..."

Because she had a night shift followed by a day shift, tomorrow she had a whole day off before another night shift, essentially giving her almost two days of free time.

Usually, she would have spent her time off working on her research projects, but this time, due to Yan Xu being upset, she reluctantly decided to reserve a bit of her time to appease him.

Little did she know, he wouldn’t appreciate it.
