Chapter 423 The Beginning of Everything 14
Seeing Qin Yu about to insert such a thick needle into the vein on the back of the boy's hand, Xie Gui looked nervous and slapped Qin Yu on the shoulder.
"Hey, be gentle."
His reaction was so strong that it was as if he had been stabbed.
This sudden turn of events almost caused a major setback in Qin Yu's professional career.
I almost missed.
If he manages to misplace an IV drip, he'll definitely be expelled from his teacher's school.
Xie Gui was still gripping Qin Yu's shoulder, with such force that it seemed he wanted to crush it.
Qin Yu was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.
He finally understood what people in the hospital meant when they talked about doctor-patient relationships.
It mainly concerns the relationship between doctors and patients' families.
Family members question the doctor's abilities and always want to interfere; Xie Gui is now that troublesome "family member".
Qin Yu took a deep breath and told himself that this was the major shareholder of his hospital, his sugar daddy.
He also wanted Xie Gui to invest another sum to purchase the latest medical equipment; he couldn't afford to lose his temper with his financial backer.
Qin Yu mentally prepared himself, and it took him a long time to calm his breathing.
He looked at Xie Gui with a hint of helplessness and shrugged. "Are you going to just crush my shoulder? Or do it yourself?"
Xie Gui realized he had overreacted, so he quickly let go, touched the tip of his nose, and turned his head away uncomfortably.
Seeing Xie Gui's unnatural appearance, Gu Yao said "thoughtfully," "Brother Xie, I'm fine. I've tried acupuncture before, it doesn't hurt..."
As the boy spoke, he lowered his eyes slightly.
Xie Gui seemed to suddenly realize something, his body stiffened, his face darkened, and his eyes were filled with sadness as he looked at Gu Yao. "A Yao, I will not let that family have another chance to come out."
At this point, Xie Gui clenched his fists at his sides; it was the thing he regretted most.
Gu Yao didn't react much, just shook his head and forced a smile, "It doesn't hurt..."
But that smile looked somewhat heartbreaking.
Qin Yu's gossipy gaze darted back and forth between the two of them. Gu Yao felt uneasy and gently placed her hand on his own, her body tense as if in self-defense, curling up slightly.
A glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes; this subconscious self-protective reaction didn't seem feigned.
Wasn't this child well protected by Xie Gui?
They hold it in their hands for fear of dropping it, and keep it in their mouths for fear of melting it.
Why would someone react like this?
Xie Gui frowned and interrupted Qin Yu's thoughts, asking, "Are you capable?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu gave a strange smile and said sarcastically, "I can't do it? Or should Young Master Xie come in person?"
He's such a spoiled brat!
Xie Gui smiled faintly, like an old fox, "I heard that you're short of money for the new medical equipment you recently purchased from Germany?"
Qin Yu's face stiffened, but a smile appeared on his face. "I'll do it right away, and I promise your partner won't feel the slightest pain!"
The acupuncture went surprisingly smoothly. Xie Gui frowned slightly as he watched the needle being inserted into the slightly protruding vein, but said nothing more.
Gu Yao curled his fingers, feeling a slight pain, as the needle had already pierced his vein.
He looked at Qin Yu, his eyes filled with gratitude.
After all, who likes to be in pain?
Qin Yu set up the IV stand for the man, shrugged, and said, "Don't look at me, look at your brother Xie, he's the real benefactor."
The young man in the white shirt spoke with a strange, sarcastic tone.
Gu Yao smiled faintly, turned to look at Xie Gui, her eyes bright, and tilted her head, "Brother Xie?"
Xie Gui touched the tip of his nose and changed the subject, asking, "Is A-Yao hungry?"
Qin Yu looked up at the wall clock.
ten o'clock.
An awkward time, neither here nor there.
Breakfast is too late, lunch is too early.
Xie Gui was clearly aware that his topic had been too abrupt and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Gu Yao, however, was exceptionally considerate. "Brother Xie, won't you go see your uncle and aunt? It's rare for them to come back."
Hearing Gu Yao mention his parents, Xie Gui frowned, raised his hand and patted the boy's head, "It's nothing, A-Yao is sick and needs someone to take care of him."
Gu Yao lowered his head as Xie Gui pressed his palm down, behaving as obediently as a rag doll whose fur had been stroked.
They're incredibly well-behaved.
The boy's hair was fine and soft, and it felt like fluffy cat fur.
Gu Yao smiled, but didn't say anything more.
The joy on his face was obvious, and even his sickly complexion became rosy and full of life.
Qin Yu clicked his tongue lightly, slightly averting his eyes, thinking that the two were truly a perfect match.
Two lunatics!
However, Xie Gui's parents weren't exactly normal either.
Qin Yu sighed softly as he recalled the first time he met Xie Gui.
Having such irresponsible parents.
It doesn't seem to make much difference whether it's there or not.
But this child...
Qin Yu's gaze fell on Gu Yao, his expression clearly scrutinizing her.
How did this child develop such a personality?
Before he was ten years old, his family was happy and harmonious.
After she turned ten, Xie Gui protected her so well.
How did he develop such a personality?
Was it because of a car accident?
Qin Yu was somewhat interested, but he also knew that Gu Yao was not his patient, so he could not easily pry into her life.
Seeing the lovey-dovey atmosphere between the two, Qin Yu couldn't bear to watch, so he packed his things, waved, and walked out.
"I won't bother you two any longer."
Even though it was still daytime, he felt ridiculously bright.
