Transmigrating Into A Female Side Character As A Prodigal Doctor

Chapter 208-210

Chapter 208: We'll Grow Old Together, Right?

The doctor entered again to check on Yan Xi.

After changing the IV drip for Yan Xi, he reminded her, "From now on, you have to eat on time and stay up less. You have to maintain a calm state of mind. You mustn't work too hard and worry too much. This illness isn't serious, but you still have to take care of your body."

Gu Shen nodded and took a mental note of what the doctor said.

After the doctor left, Gu Shen looked at the IV drip with a serious expression.

"You've been too tired recently." Gu Shen caressed her face. Because of her illness, Yan Xi's face and lips were pale. He sighed. "Rest well. Don't make me worry."

"Okay." Yan Xi rubbed his palm and tried her best to smile. "It's just caused by low blood sugar, not something serious. I'll get better once I eat more."

"What do you want to eat later?"

"What time is it now?"

"Five in the morning. You were unconscious for a long time." Gu Shen's heart sank when he thought of how fragile Yan Xi was in his arms.

He subconsciously hugged Yan Xi, using the warmth of his arms to make her feel better.

Yan Xi curled up in his arms like a baby. She desperately needed Gu Shen's embrace now. The two of them were like two little animals using each other to keep warm in the coldest days of winter

After a long time, Yan Xi asked, "Did I scare you?"

"Yes, so next time, don't scare me."

It was still early. Yan Xi looked at the dark circles under Gu Shen's eyes and asked him to rest for a while.

At nine o'clock, Gu Er brought in a plate of breakfast.

Yan Xi had just finished the IV drip and was still unable to move her numb hands. Gu Shen took the porridge, blew it cold, and slowly fed it to Yan Xi.

"Wait a minute." Yan Xi quickly said, "Gu Shen, my hair is hanging in front of me. Help me tie it up."

Gu Shen put down the breakfast in his hand. "How?"

"Just like last time when I tied it up for you." Yan Xi guided him step by step. "First, brush my hair, then grab it and tie it up with a rubber band."

Gu Shen followed her instructions and tidied her hair clumsily.

He let Yan Xi lean on him, grabbed her hair with both hands, and slowly tied it with the rubber band.

"Did I hurt you?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

"Gu Shen." She asked suddenly, "We'll grow old together, right?"

Gu Shen nodded and said firmly, "Yes."

After breakfast, Gu Shen took out a tissue and wiped the corner of Yan Xi's mouth. This was something he had never done before. His movements were clumsy but very gentle.

"You still need to stay in the hospital for observation today. I'll go to the rehabilitation center for acupuncture later. I'll come to pick you up in the afternoon."

"It's Friday?" Yan Xi quickly asked, "When are you going?"

"Around one in the afternoon. I'll go after lunch."

Yan Xi thought about it. It would take about half an hour to get from the hospital to the rehabilitation center. She could not drive yet, so she could only take a taxi.
