"We? Apologize?"
Mu Qi was momentarily stunned.
The nurse, who had been looking down, reacted and repeatedly declined, "No, please don't, Miss. I'm fine."
How could such an important figure apologize to a mere nurse like her?
However, to the nurse's surprise, the tall, slender figure actually walked towards her and bowed slightly to apologize.
"I'm sorry."
Mu Qi's apology was sincere, and he immediately looked at Yun Shuxian.
Mu Qi's action made the nurse's heart pound, but as she looked at the way Mu Qi was looking at Yun Shuxian.
It was like a big dog trying to please its owner.
The nurse was shocked by her own thought.
Seeing that the nurse did not react for a long time, Yun Shuxian thought she was still not satisfied.
She stepped forward, intending to discuss compensation further with the nurse: "Of course, if you feel that an apology is not enough, we can also discuss mental damages."
As soon as Yun Shuxian finished speaking, the nurse finally reacted.
She waved her hands repeatedly and bowed deeply to both Mu Qi and Yun Shuxian: "No, no. I am very satisfied... I mean, I wish you a speedy recovery."
With that, the nurse quickly left the room.
Yun Shuxian then turned her head and met Mu Qi's gaze.
This...
Why was he looking at her like that?
It made her feel as if she would be embarrassed if she didn't give Mu Qi something.
Was he hungry?
"Let's eat, Mu Qi." Yun Shuxian placed the lunchbox on the table and then went back to help Mu Qi.
Although Mu Qi's left shoulder was injured, Yun Shuxian was still worried that he might accidentally use his left arm during the meal, so she felt more at ease feeding him herself.
After Mu Qi and she had both finished eating, Yun Shuxian put away the lunchbox.
Then she said to Mu Qi, "Don't move around. I'm going to check on Shan Gong. I'll be back soon."
Mu Qi frowned, "Why are you looking at him?"
"He collapsed outside the door just now. I'm going to see if he's alright," Yun Shuxian fiddled with the clasps of the lunchbox, making a clicking sound.
Mu Qi said nothing, but his expression was not good.
However, Yun Shuxian's attention was on the lunchbox in her hand, especially since Mu Qi had implicitly agreed.
Seeing this, Yun Shuxian put down the lunchbox and went to the door of the ward.
At this time, Shan Gong had clearly woken up.
Seeing Yun Shuxian suddenly appear, Shan Gong thought she was here to reprimand him.
Shan Gong had regained consciousness after Yun Shuxian entered the ward, so he knew that he had not completed the task Yun Shuxian had assigned him.
But Shan Gong still held his head high, clearly showing no intention of admitting his mistake, as he had never acknowledged Yun Shuxian as the young madam in his heart.
However, to Shan Gong's surprise, Yun Shuxian suddenly walked up to him and stared directly at him.
Shan Gong, looking at Yun Shuxian up close, was so startled that he quickly retreated. However, there was a wall behind him, and he had nowhere else to go.
"You... What do you want to do?"
Shan Gong was extremely flustered in his heart. He couldn't betray their young master, who had shown him immense kindness.
No, how could he betray his young master when he hated Yun Shuxian so much? Su Dan Novel Network
It's impossible, absolutely impossible!
Shan Gong wanted to push Yun Shuxian away, but looking at her, he didn't know where to place his hands.
Just as Shan Gong was in despair, Yun Shuxian was pulled away by someone. Shan Gong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to look to see who had saved him.
But his eyes met Mu Qi's deep phoenix eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Although Mu Qi's voice was the same as usual, Shan Gong, who had been with him for many years, deeply felt the danger in his words.
"Mu Qi, why are you out here? Did you strain your wound?" Yun Shuxian, now in Mu Qi's arms, was frowning as she checked his injury.
She was completely unaware of how dangerous and tense the atmosphere was.
"Young Master, we weren't doing anything." Shan Gong's voice was filled with a righteous and upright spirit.
Mu Qi lowered his gaze to Yun Shuxian in his arms, wanting to question her why she was so close to Shan Gong, but in the end, he asked nothing.
Mu Qi was quite timid when facing Yun Shuxian, and any slight disturbance would leave him unable to calm down for a long time.
"Shan Gong, if you need to rest, find someone else to stand guard here," Yun Shuxian said to Shan Gong after checking Mu Qi's wound and finding no serious issues.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is the saying of "wang, wen, wen, qie" (observation, listening, questioning, palpation). Yun Shuxian's approach to Shan Gong earlier was observation. Ordinary traditional Chinese medicine practitioners could only see the general condition, but not subtle changes. Yun Shuxian was different; she could see deeper things from small changes, thus understanding the patient's condition more clearly.
"Young Madam, not everyone can be by the Young Master's side," Shan Gong replied.
Mu Qi: "From today onwards, you don't need to come anymore." After speaking, Mu Qi pulled Yun Shuxian back into the ward.
Shan Gong was left standing there, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He had followed the Young Master through countless battles before Yun Shuxian was by his side, but now?
He had lost favor just like that!!!
...
"Mu Qi, slow down." Yun Shuxian was very worried as she watched Mu Qi stride towards the hospital bed without any regard for his own body.
Only when they finally returned to the hospital bed did Mu Qi finally let go of Yun Shuxian.
"Mu Qi, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly pull me over?" Yun Shuxian truly didn't understand. In her eyes, everything she had done just now was an instinctive medical response, with no impropriety.
Mu Qi: "You really don't know?"
Yun Shuxian shook her head.
Yun Shuxian pressed for an answer again, but Mu Qi ultimately said no more.
In the afternoon, they continued with the intravenous drip, followed by ward rounds, until nightfall.
The moon doesn't sleep, but people do.
Yun Shuxian wanted to stay in the infirmary for the night, but Mu Qi grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong?" Yun Shuxian turned her head. The ward was already dark, and in the cold night, only Mu Qi's hand was warm.
"You sleep here, I'll go out." Mu Qi used some force to pull Yun Shuxian to the hospital bed, and then he got up to leave.
Mu Qi wanted to guard her.
