Chapter 209: You’re Amazing

Gu Shen stayed with Yan Xi until lunch before heading to the rehabilitation center.

Before he left, he rubbed her head and said gently, “Rest well. I’ll pick you up tonight.”

Yan Xi nodded obediently, but she was thinking about how to run out of the hospital later. After Gu Shen left, she sent a message to Zhou Xu and asked him to stall Gu Shen until she arrived.

Ten minutes later, she removed the IV and ran out.

She was quite lucky. She did not run into any nurses along the way. When she left the hospital, she hailed a car and left.

At about 1:40, Gu Shen appeared in the hall of the rehabilitation center.

Zhou Xu had been reading documents and didn’t check his phone. When Gu Shen arrived, it was too late to reply. He immediately went out to see Gu Shen.

Zhou Xu first did a checkup on Gu Shen and found the wound on his thigh, so he quickly asked, “Is your thigh injured?”

No wonder the follow-up appointment last week was postponed. Zhou Xu looked at the wound that had already been sutured and couldn’t help but praise, “This wound is sutured very well. Not only will it not leave a scar, but the wound will also heal faster.”

It was obvious that it was done by Yan Xi. He wondered if she could teach him next time.

Just as he was lost in thought, Gu Shen suddenly asked, “Would a non-professional have such a high suturing skill?”

Zhou Xu paused and said cautiously, “Anyone who trained for some years will reach this level of suturing skill..” Afraid that Gu Shen would ask further, he coughed and changed the topic. “Is the pain from the wound intense?”

“It wasn’t intense at the time. The pain was worse during the recovery.”

Zhou Xu pressed the skin around the wound. “The speed of healing will increase the pain of the wound.”

After the checkup, Gu Shen said, “Let’s begin.”

Zhou Xu looked at his watch. It was ten minutes past two, but Yan Xi hadn’t arrived yet.

He was not sure how long it would take for Yan Xi to arrive, so he got his assistant to push Gu SHen to the treatment room first.

…

At half past two, Yan Xi ran into the hall of the rehabilitation center.

As soon as the taxi set out, they hit a traffic jam. The driver took a detour to avoid the traffic jam, but she still came later than she expected.

On the way, she sent Zhou Xu many messages, but he didn’t reply.

Yan Xi’s heart rate increased a lot as she ran. After entering the elevator, she immediately adjusted her breathing and walked calmly towards the treatment room.

She took a deep breath and was about to push the door open when the door opened.

Zhou Xu walked out. He quickly closed the door and brought Yan Xi to his office.

“What took you so long?”

“There was a traffic jam on the way.” Yan Xi was still panting. “Wait for me for a few minutes. I’ll go in after I adjust my breathing. Did Gu Shen suspect anything?”

“No.” Zhou Xu handed her a bottle of water. “I’ve already given him acupuncture.”

“You?!” Yan Xi raised her eyebrows and said incredulously, “Did you do acupuncture on him? Has anything gone wrong?”

“No,” Zhou Xu quickly explained. “I’ve seen you do it many times, and I’ve practiced it for a while. I don’t think anything will go wrong.”

“You didn’t show up, so I had no choice but to do it myself. From Gu Shen’s attitude, he didn’t seem to be suspicious.”

“That’s good. You are amazing.” Yan Xi gave him a thumbs up. She was not unhappy that someone had stolen her skills. Instead, she was really happy for Zhou Xu.

“Not only are you talented, but you’re also hard working. I believe at this rate, you are not far from becoming one of the top doctors in the field of neurology.”

Zhou Xu was embarrassed by the praise. He touched his nose. “There are still a lot of things I need to learn, especially from you.”
