Chapter 72. Not giving in to each other

Under the warm yellow light, Xi Yun Sheng and Ruo Ning sat side by side. Ruo Ning stroked the bangs on her forehead, and Xi Yun Sheng leaned closer. They were so close that they could clearly see each other's clear eyelashes.

This situation could have been somewhat ambiguous and charming, but since there was someone next to them who kept staring at them, it was obvious that there was no atmosphere at all.

"It seems to be healing very well." Xi Yunsheng gently applied medicine to the wound.

"Then thank you for helping me change my dressing." Ruoning smiled lightly.

"I said I like to be troubled by you." Xi Yunsheng applied the gauze carefully and curved the corners of his mouth.

Ruoning was a little embarrassed, but he even came over to help her change her dressing and thanked her again in a low voice.

Ren Shaochen looked at the conversation between the two of them as if no one was watching, and his frown became more and more obvious. Xi Yunsheng said this as if he didn't exist, and was even provocative. No matter what, Ruoning was his wife.

"Do doctors come to your home now?" Ren Shaochen spoke out to show his presence.

Xi Yunsheng helped Ruoning change the medicine, looked back at him, and said, "Of course not, I'm just making an exception for Ruoning."

Ren Shaochen narrowed his eyes, Xi Yunsheng now clearly declared war.

"I heard you coughed a few times just now. I brought you orange black tea. If you drink it at night, you should feel better tomorrow." Xi Yunsheng took out a thermos cup and handed it to Ruoning.

Ruoning took it and asked more questions. After all, you can't take medicine randomly. Ren Shaochen just took her to drink ginger and apricot soup in the evening. If she drinks this again now, I wonder if there will be any problems.

"Ginger apricot soup?" Xi Yunsheng frowned when he heard this, glanced at Ren Shaochen, and said: "Ginger apricot soup is for treating exogenous cough. Ah Ning has a cough due to internal injury. How can you give it to her randomly?"

It may be an occupational disease of doctors. When they hear about cases of indiscriminate prescribing of medicines that do not address the symptoms, they can't help but express some blame.

It was hard for Ren Shaochen to refute when he was blamed. It was Xi Yunsheng who was the doctor and knew the real disease.

Seeing Ren Shaochen's face darken, Ruoning defended him: "Actually, it's nothing, I just drank a few sips."

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing twice more. Seeing that Ruoning's cough didn't seem to be relieved, but rather getting worse, Ren Shaochen apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken you to drink ginger and apricot soup."

Ren Shaochen has always been proud. Such a low-profile apology can be said to be unprecedented. After all, there is a third person present.

"It's not serious. Just be more careful next time." Xi Yunsheng softened his tone knowing that Ren Shaochen was doing it for Ruoning's own good.

Ren Shaochen turned to look at Xi Yunsheng and said seriously: "I will definitely pay more attention to it in the future." Since you had no chance to be attentive, he could only add the second half of the sentence silently in his heart.

"Ah Ning, this is the orange and black tea I mixed well. You can brew it directly and drink it. Just brew it once a day. You should drink more water." Xi Yunsheng took out another bag from the medicine box and handed it to Ruoning.

Ruoning was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse. Xi Yunsheng had good intentions after all.

"Thank you, it's really too much trouble for you." Ruoning put away the things, lowered her head and took a sip of the brewed orange tea, and accidentally burned the tip of her tongue.

Ren Shaochen handed her room-temperature boiled water and let her drink it. Ruoning took a sip and then remembered that this was what Ren Shaochen had just drank.

Xi Yunsheng's eyes darkened. There was only a glass of water on the coffee table and he drank half of it. Naturally, he had already guessed it.

Ruoning put down the water glass and smiled, seeing that neither of them seemed to have any intention of getting up and leaving.

"I still have some work to do, you guys..." Ruoning's words were already an eviction order. Her eyes wandered between Ren Shaochen and Xi Yunsheng, but neither of them answered her and walked down the steps.

Ren Shaochen looked at Xi Yunsheng, who was sitting calmly.

Ruoning narrowed her eyes and stared at Ren Shaochen. Of course Ren Shaochen understood what she meant and had no choice but to stand up and leave first.

After Ren Shaochen stood up, Xi Yun Sheng stood up and said softly to Ruoning: "Don't work too late, go to bed early."

"Yeah." Ruoning nodded.

Ren Shaochen raised his hand and patted Ruoning's head, and whispered: "I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay, I understand." Ruoning couldn't help but laugh again. Was he unwilling to show weakness?

Ren Shaochen and Xi Yunsheng looked at each other, put on their shoes and stepped out of the house. Xi Yunsheng then also stepped out of the house.

After sending the two of them away, Ruoning closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. She shook her head, picked up the books and notes and walked into the room. She opened her laptop again and began to carefully review relevant information and prepare design drawings.

Time passed unknowingly, and her neck became stiff while she was flipping through the book. She got up and was about to go to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. At this time, a text message rang on her cell phone. Ruoning took it over and took a look. It was from Xi Yunsheng. There were only five words: Don't drink.

coffee.

He seemed to have figured out what she was thinking. Ruoning smiled lightly, poured a glass of boiling water, and returned to the desk. The bell rang again, and it was Xi Yunsheng's. This time, there were three words: Go to bed early.

Ruoning looked at the time and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock. She replied: You should also go to bed early. Good night.

Xi Yunsheng immediately replied: Good night, sweet dreams.

Ruoning sat down, leaned against the back of the chair, raised her head, and closed her eyes, intending to collect herself for a while before continuing to work.

At this time, the phone rang. Ruoning took it directly without opening her eyes and said lazily with a smile: "The text message is not enough, you still have to call me to confirm whether I am asleep?"

Ren Shaochen was stunned on the other end of the phone. Text message? He has never sent it. Who sent it?

"Xi Yunsheng is really caring about his patients." Ren Shaochen said with a slightly sour tone.

When Ruoning heard this voice, she woke up, opened her eyes, and said, "It's you."

Hearing her tone, Ren Shaochen seemed to have no expectations for his call. He frowned and said, "It's me. Are you disappointed?"

"Is there something wrong at this late hour?" Ruoning ignored his slightly sour words.

"Are you still awake?" The purpose of Ren Shaochen's call was exactly the same as the purpose of Xi Yunsheng's text message.

"Look at it for a while and then go to bed." Ruoning flipped through the drawings and was not very satisfied.

"Staying up late makes you age quickly."

"Ren Shaochen, are you calling to argue?" Ruoning put down the drawing and frowned.

Ren Shaochen smiled slightly. She was on the verge of breaking out, so he comforted her: "I will grow old with you."

Ruo Ning was stunned for a moment, knowing that he meant to stay with her through it all, but no matter how you heard these words, people could misunderstand them as a promise of love.

"I have something else to do, so I won't tell you any more." After Ruoning was stunned for a moment, she immediately said in a panic.

"Don't hang up. Just leave it next to me and I won't disturb you." Ren Shaochen said.
