Chapter 181 - 181 Guan Lei, the Flirt

181 Guan Lei, the Flirt
Shen Xi mulled over Zheng Huai’s request, eventually agreeing. She sent a text message to Guan Lei, asking where he was and soon learned he was not in the observation room yet. “Let’s head in for now,” Shen Xi said to Zheng Huai.
Zheng Huai’s eyes lit up. He held his head high and puffed out his chest, following Shen Xi as they made their way to the observation room.
The guards watching from the shadows looked at each other and decided to report the situation to their superiors. They were told to allow the duo entry and could only watch as Zheng Huai entered Observation Room 201 with Shen Xi.
“Let’s go!” The head guard barked.
Although he did not understand why they did not need to be on duty that night, he did as he was told. Since it was an order from his superior, he would obey.
Zheng Huai saw two large beds the moment he entered the room. His worries drained away. It seemed he had been overthinking the situation; at least the two were mindful and slept in separate beds. All was well.
Shen Xi lay on the ground. It was not because the bed was dirty, but she found it uncomfortable to know Zheng Huai was underneath.
A young master from a well-to-do family did not seem like the type to hide beneath the bed and eat dust. It did not fit in Shen Xi’s mind.
“Are you really going to hide under the bed the whole night? It doesn’t seem too appropriate…” Shen Xi tried seeking some form of confirmation from Zheng Huai.
“Of course. For the sake of our patients, there’s nothing a doctor would not do, even if one might view their actions as inappropriate or wrong. Saving lives and helping the injured is the mission of us doctors,” Zheng Huai answered, his words carrying his strong conviction.
Shen Xi nodded; her expression was one of deep admiration. Zheng Huai spoke well, and she appreciated his sentiments. She praised him, giving him a thumbs up, “Doctor Zheng, I admire your character. You truly are a dedicated doctor.”
Shen Xi’s approval humbled the young doctor. Bashfully, he waved his hands, saying, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. It’s what I should do. Hehe.”
He had wanted to leave a good impression on his younger cousin, and from the sound of it, he had done more than that. Still, praise was praise, and he lapped it up happily.
Shen Xi did not expect Zheng Huai, a rich young master, to possess such an honest and unpretentious disposition. She decided she quite liked his personality.
“Alright. It would be best if you hid now. Otherwise, you won’t have the opportunity to when Guan Lei arrives,” Shen Xi advised.
Zheng Huai obediently rolled under the bed as quietly as he could.
Just as he was getting himself comfortable, Guan Lei entered.
Shen Xi heaved a sigh of relief. It was almost too close for comfort. Any later and Guan Lei would have discovered Zheng Huai.
Guan Lei’s gaze swept across the room like a pair of searchlights. Finding no one, he smirked and allowed his eyes to rest on Shen Xi, handing her a bag of candy.
Shen XI looked at the small bag of candy and frowned. She pushed the candy back into Guan Lei’s hand in disgust. “I don’t want anymore. I’ll have cavities if I eat anymore!”
“Don’t worry. Uncle Wang specially made these for you. It isn’t real candy; it won’t give you cavities,” Guan Lei said gently. He teased her hand open and placed the bag therein once more.
With great reluctance, Shen Xi accepted the bag of candy, placing it on the bedside table.
Zheng Huai’s mind raced a mile a minute. Who would have thought the cold and callous Young Master Guan would speak to Shen Xi with such warmth and tenderness? He did not need to be a love doctor to hear the clear indulgence in his voice.
It was a shocking discovery. Could Young Master Guan have fallen in love with his sweet cousin?
If so, what should he do?
His grandfather was still fighting the Lu family for Shen Xi. If the Guan family joined in on the debacle, the three largest financial groups of Beijing would clash and what a spectacle it would be!
Zheng Huai’s wild thoughts were interrupted by Guan Lei, who began screaming.
“Ah! It hurts, it hurts! Slow down! Xixi, be gentle. It hurts!” Guan Lei cried out. He sounded more flirtatious than Zheng Huai had ever heard him. Occasionally, his yowls would turn into incomprehensible gasps.
Shen Xi frowned as she tried correcting Guan Lei’s posture. Not once did she let up. Though, she did waver every time she heard him call her “Xixi”.
Shen Xi could not understand what was wrong with Guan Lei. Previously, when she corrected Guan Lei’s movements, Guan Lei always had this helpless look on his face, cooperating with her only begrudgingly.
Today, Guan Lei’s strange antics were so distracting she could note even look at him with a straight face.
