Leaning against the head of the hospital bed, He Junming yawned out of boredom, tossed the tablet aside, looked at his plastered right leg, and showed a hint of frustration.
"Sigh... We both skateboard, so why is the gap so big? Others look so cool, but I just end up so unlucky. I can't help but accept it."
With a somewhat annoyed sigh, he scratched his head, hopped down and supported himself with crutches as he walked out of the ward. Standing in the corridor, he glanced towards the elevator and muttered again.
Looking left and right, He Junming still didn't see the figure he was hoping for, and it made him feel even more frustrated.
"Can that pretty nurse come back? It's rare to have a little fun here, what's she up to?"
Meanwhile, after chatting for a long time, Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao had relaxed the atmosphere between them. Chu Ge then suddenly remembered she was on duty and should let Chu Shiyao attend to her work.
Chu Ge coughed and said, "Yaoyao, are you busy right now?"
Chu Shiyao was giggling when she heard Chu Ge say this and then slapped her forehead, "Oh dear, chatting with you, I forgot I'm still on duty!"
Chu Ge chuckled, how could Chu Shiyao be so adorably silly to forget something like that?
"Yeah, you're working, hurry and get back to it."
"Uh-huh!" Chu Shiyao nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, brother Chu, earlier... you didn't wipe, did you?"
Chu Ge was stunned, "Wipe? Wipe what?"
"Uh... nothing."
Under Chu Ge's bewildered gaze, Chu Shiyao walked into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and started washing her hands in the white porcelain sink.
She washed for over a minute, using hand soap three times before turning off the tap. Her already fair hands appeared even whiter.
"Well, brother Chu, I have something to do, so I'll head out first, okay?"
"Yeah, sorry to trouble you earlier, get back to work."
Chu Shiyao playfully stuck out her tongue, turned around, and darted out of the ward in a few quick steps.
Watching Chu Shiyao's departing figure, Chu Ge was somewhat surprised. If it had been another girl, she'd surely be too shy to even look at him right now, but Chu Shiyao still managed a smile. This girl's heart sure is big.
Well, no wonder she's so broad-minded.
After Chu Shiyao left the room, Chu Ge suddenly recalled what she had said earlier that baffled him. He seemed to understand what it meant now.
Girls use tissue after using the restroom, so maybe her comment about not wiping meant the same thing?
Thinking of this, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Chu Shiyao, she's just too funny. What age are we living in, and there's still a girl as amusing as her? Besides, she's a nurse, how could she not know such basic things?
In the corridor, He Junming waited and waited, but Chu Shiyao never came back, making him even more bored and restless. However, just as he was about to hobble back to the room, the quiet corridor was suddenly interrupted by the sound of a door lock clicking open.
"Hmm?"
Instinctively looking towards the source of the sound, he saw Chu Shiyao walk out of a ward.
He Junming was momentarily stunned, then furrowed his brows.
What's going on? During his hospital stay, isn't that pretty nurse supposed to be dedicated to taking care of him? How come she's coming out of someone else's ward? And before coming out, she even locked the door of that ward?
What made He Junming feel both uncomfortable and surprised was that Chu Shiyao appeared to be sneaky, like she had just done something shady, and as she stepped out, she raised her hands, lightly patted her face, and lifted her right hand to smell it?
"Nurse Chu?"
With a belly full of doubts and dissatisfaction, He Junming frowned and leaned against the door to call out.
"Ah!"
Though He Junming's voice wasn't loud, it still startled Chu Shiyao, making her shiver and instinctively hide her right hand behind her back.
Something's fishy, definitely fishy!
Witnessing this scene, He Junming couldn't help but furrow his brows even tighter.
"Ugh, why did you come out, little troublemaker? Are you trying to kill me? What if our boss sees you? Get back in right now."
Following the voice, seeing it was He Junming calling her, Chu Shiyao breathed a sigh of relief, then said something in exasperation.
"Who was in that room? Why did you come out of it?" He Junming didn't return to the room as Chu Shiyao suggested but asked instead with a very displeased tone.
"No one, hurry back to your ward." Chu Shiyao walked quickly a few steps to He Junming's side and continued to urge.
"Why should I reply? If you don't tell me, I won't reply. You look so sneaky, were you secretly meeting your lover in that room?"
Looking at He Junming's disgruntled face, Chu Shiyao felt utterly speechless, shrugging her shoulders and saying, "What I do is my own business, okay? Aren't you being too nosy?"
"Too much? How's that too much? Officially, you are my personal nurse right now, and you have to serve only me, otherwise it's a dereliction of duty. Personally, I've taken a liking to you, so you have to be my girlfriend. If you meet other guys behind my back, of course I'll have to step in."
This time, Chu Shiyao was directly amused by her anger. What kind of logic is that?
Oh, just because you like me, I have to be with you? No matter how influential you are, you can't be this domineering, can you?
"Fine, if you want to make a scene, go ahead and make a bigger one. Best if our boss sees it and fires me, then whoever wants to take care of you can do it. Do you think I want to manage you if it wasn't my job?"
Frustrated by He Junming's unreasonable trouble-making, Chu Shiyao lost her temper. Although she knew he had a significant background, she no longer showed him any favors, raising her right hand and poking a finger at He Junming's forehead.
Hearing Chu Shiyao say this, He Junming was a bit dumbfounded, blinking his eyes dazedly.
She doesn't want to manage me? She actually said she doesn't want to manage me?
Even though Chu Shiyao's words entered He Junming's ears clearly, he still doubted if he heard wrong.
Because of his family, from childhood to adulthood, apart from his family, who didn't treat him with utmost respect? Why are people suddenly treating him disrespectfully twice in a row?
Damn, what is going on here?
The first time, He Junming accepted it, since the other person was incredibly powerful, to the point that even he had to look up to them, even feeling instinctive awe.
But this second time, he truly couldn't accept it; after all, the other party was just a small nurse. Moreover, over the past two days, she surely could tell his identity wasn't simple, so why did she dare poke at his head and speak such words?
Surprised, He Junming became more interested in Chu Shiyao.
In today's society, people who don't seek favor are incredibly rare, and Chu Shiyao in front of him is a prime example!
Unconsciously, He Junming thought of a saying.
A lotus emerging unstained from the mud, cleansing itself in the clear waters without being coquettish!
"Hehe, you don't want to manage me? Unfortunately, I just want you to manage me. Rest assured, with me here, even if your boss sees it, they wouldn't dare say a word, and if they want to fire you, they'd have to see if I agree first."
Coming back to his senses, He Junming grinned and said calmly.
Chu Shiyao felt even more speechless, thinking, is this brat even more obstinately unyielding like a knife-resistant meatball?
"However, isn't working here a bit of an injustice for you? You don't earn much in a month, do you? How about you come to my house and become my exclusive nurse? When I reach the legal age, we can get married, how's this for a good idea?"
Seeing Chu Shiyao not speaking, He Junming laughed more brightly, smirking as he spoke.
Chu Shiyao snorted, rolling her eyes at He Junming, saying, "You actually came up with this, but I'm not interested in a younger man; you're not my type either, stop dreaming."
"It's okay, as long as I'm interested. I'm twenty this year, the year after next, I'll be of age. It's just right for us to take these two years to develop feelings, and you'll surely discover numerous stellar qualities in me like the stars in the sky."
He Junming quipped again, then laughed heartily, propping himself up with his crutch as he started walking down the corridor.
"He Junming! I said, where are you trying to go now? Can't you behave and go back to your room!"
Seeing He Junming hopping around the corridor on his crutches, Chu Shiyao felt even more annoyed. Although she didn't want to care about him, she was afraid he might really take a bad fall, so she could only chase after him and tug on his arm.
"I can't, I need to see who you just met. If it's a girl, I'll go back to the ward without a word. If it's a guy, hehe, no matter who he is, I need to tell him to stay away from you, because from now on, you're my girl!"
Turning his head to meet the frustrating look on Chu Shiyao's face, He Junming laughed and said, continuing to stride ahead.
Chu Shiyao sighed, pinched her brow, feeling utterly defeated by He Junming.
"Sigh... I admit defeat, I surrender. I'll tell you who's in that room, would you stop going there?"
"Okay, tell me, who exactly is in that ward?" He Junming nodded, stopping in his tracks.
Chu Shiyao hesitated for a moment, looking at He Junming's grinning face, she explained seriously, "The person in that room is actually my brother. I just went to see him and talked for a while, can you now follow me back to your room?"
Hearing Chu Shiyao say this, He Junming looked visibly relieved, "Oh... so that's how it is?"
"Yes, exactly, so let's go, come back with me quickly."
"Okay."
Hearing that this stubborn brat had finally agreed to stop making trouble, Chu Shiyao couldn't help but feel relieved.
However, just as she exhaled halfway in relief, He Junming suddenly grinned at her, and with a powerful push from his uninjured leg, he leapt towards the direction of Chu Ge's ward.
