Chapter 798: Chapter 786

Le Zhengsheng was indeed still waiting for her, but clearly his patience had run out. As soon as he saw her, he scolded, "Why so slow? Didn’t you finish work ten minutes ago? Nurse Gu, is it really okay to make a seriously ill patient wait like this?"

"I..."

Gu Xiaoning stuck out her tongue, "Sorry! I forgot, I guess my brain isn’t working."

"What?" Le Zhengsheng was astonished, "You actually..."

"Sorry, sorry!" Gu Xiaoning clasped her hands together, "Adults shouldn’t hold grudges against little people, why should men fuss with women?"

Le Zhengsheng looked at her, suddenly a bit confused. This person... is Gu Xiaoning? This... looks so different from when she was in her work clothes. How did he determine just now that she was Gu Xiaoning?

He had to admit, this girl looks pretty... in casual clothes! "Ahem."

Le Zhengsheng covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, "Who are you?"

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoning froze, pointing to herself, "Me? Who am I? Who am I?"

The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter together.

"Haha..." Gu Xiaoning held her belly, laughing without any care for her image. She sat casually on a bench and patted Le Zhengsheng’s shoulder, "You’re really funny!"

Le Zhengsheng pursed his lips in a slight smile, handing her the box of sweets in his hand, "Here."

"What?" Gu Xiaoning took it, sniffing, "Smells so good! What is this?"

The way she sniffed, her features scrunched up like a little cat.

She opened it to see, "Wow! Such exquisite pastries, they look delicious!"

Le Zhengsheng suddenly felt playful, "They’re mine; I’m just letting you see."

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, looking up at him with an aggrieved expression, "Are you serious? But you can’t eat sweets!"

"Yes," Le Zhengsheng nodded, "So what if I can’t eat them? Can’t I smell or look at them? I’ll keep watching them until they rot and mold, then throw them away."

Gu Xiaoning blinked, and after a moment, she understood.

She jumped up and grabbed Le Zhengsheng by the neck, "Are you messing with me? You clearly said you were giving them to me!"

"Haha," Le Zhengsheng chuckled, "Who told you to be silly? Being so silly is really funny."

"Humph!"

Gu Xiaoning released him, pinched a piece with her hand and popped it into her mouth, "Mmm! It’s so delicious!"

Le Zhengsheng looked at her, his mouth smiling, "That day... sorry."

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning was perplexed, "Oh! You mean the rain?"

"Yes," Le Zhengsheng nodded, "If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had this shift, working nights, isn’t it tiring?"

"Hehe," Gu Xiaoning laughed, "No worries, I’m young, right? Besides, someone has to work all kinds of shifts. By the way..."

She suddenly leaned closer, raising her hand to touch Le Zhengsheng’s forehead, he wanted to dodge but couldn’t.

"Feels okay... under 38°C, right?" Gu Xiaoning blinked.

Le Zhengsheng smiled, "Amazing, yes."

"Hmm..." Gu Xiaoning quickly set the box down, "It’s late, you need to rest, what time is it? You’re still running a low fever!"

Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Alright, you can walk me back."

"Let’s go!"

Gu Xiaoning walked Le Zhengsheng back, "Get right into bed?"

"Uh..." Le Zhengsheng hesitated, "I haven’t washed up yet."

"What?" Gu Xiaoning was surprised, then started ranting, "You! Didn’t listen to the nurse again, did you? It’s so late, and you haven’t washed up yet? With that stubborn temper of yours, how can anyone stand it?"

Even though she sounded full of complaints, she still pushed Le Zhengsheng to the bathroom.

Gu Xiaoning wrapped a towel around Le Zhengsheng’s neck, speaking sharply, "Brush your teeth, wash your face! You’re really annoying!"

Le Zhengsheng chuckled softly; she’s really a hard-talking soft-hearted girl.

...

Gu Xiaoning’s ’punishment’ finally concluded.

Early in the morning, when she walked into the ward, Le Zhengsheng was still unsure, "Who are you?"

"Tsk!" Gu Xiaoning pulled his blanket off, "That line is outdated, isn’t it? Are you going to keep using it endlessly? Get up, brush your teeth, wash your face!"

She tidied up the blanket, pointed at the wheelchair, "Get on yourself, don’t say you have no strength, you could wheel yourself around late at night... hurry up!"

Le Zhengsheng frowned, "Oh."

Gu Xiaoning’s shifts are 12-hour ones. She was on day shift today, meaning she would take care of Le Zhengsheng from 9 AM to 9 PM. During his infusions and treatments, she wasn’t too busy.

This room was well-equipped, while Le Zhengsheng was lying for infusions, she could lie over the table to read.

"..." Le Zhengsheng felt bored, turned his head to look at her, "What are you reading?"

"Shh!" Gu Xiaoning quickly gestured at him, "Don’t say! I’m on duty! If Head Nurse finds out I’m reading, I’ll get penalized again?"

"Tch," Le Zhengsheng sneered, "Aren’t all shifts the same?"

He glanced at the book cover, "English?"

"Uhm..." Gu Xiaoning nodded.

"Still Level 4 proficiency?" Le Zhengsheng was astonished, "You don’t even have that level?"

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning got annoyed, "So what if I don’t have that level? Did I eat your family’s rice?"

"Haha."

She was cute when she was angry, Le Zhengsheng couldn’t help but laugh, "I didn’t mean it that way, sorry! I wasn’t trying to make fun of you."

"Laugh if you want!" Gu Xiaoning rubbed her hair, "I’m dumb... anyhow, I’ve taken it a few times and haven’t passed."

"Cough cough!" Le Zhengsheng choked on his own saliva.

A family like his, education conditions were naturally good, it was like they were born as overachievers, smooth sailing all the way. Even Yu Sangwan would be very smart too... and yet, are there really girls like Gu Xiaoning in this world?

"Let me take a look."

Gu Xiaoning pouted and handed him the book, "Take a look!"

Le Zhengsheng casually flipped through it, growing increasingly shocked as he read, "This... You took the test several times? Are you missing something in your brain?"

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning furrowed her brows, "I said you can laugh, and you’re really being unreserved? Are you done? Give it back!"

"I won’t laugh anymore," Le Zhengsheng hurriedly controlled himself, and solemnly said, "Sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose."

"Humph!" Gu Xiaoning got angry, ignoring him.

"Xiao Gu?"

[No response.]

"Nurse?"

"[Ignores him.]"

"Ningning?"

Goosebumps rose on Gu Xiaoning, but she still ignored him.

Le Zhengsheng rolled his eyes a bit, "Not responding, huh? Well then, I thought I could help you..."

But, Le Zhengsheng turned away from her, "Some people just ignore others, oh well."

"I’m responding now!" Gu Xiaoning smiled, "I heard you speak English like your native language, right? This is just like eating and picking dishes for you, right? Teach me!"

Le Zhengsheng suppressed his laughter, ignoring her.

"Mr. Le Zheng?" [No response.]

"Young Master Le Zheng, no, Sir?" [No response.]

"Hmm hmm." Gu Xiaoning was anxious, "Brother Le Zheng!"

In a flash, Le Zhengsheng sat up, "Stop! That’s way too greasy!"

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning heard and got interested, "Really?"
