“Is there any food?
I’m hungry.
Also, could you find me a place to sleep?
I want to take a nap.”
She didn’t want to go home, considering those two were still there, nor did she want to stay at the hospital, as it wasn’t comfortable; she was hoping to find a place without the smell of disinfectant, a place simply to sleep.
Once awakened, she would have work to keep her busy, and by the time she would be done, it would probably be quite late.
These few hours were essential for Yuxin to sustain herself through the afternoon’s hustle.
That’s why these few hours of rest were so crucial to her—she couldn’t afford a single mistake during that time.
...
Only after Gu Ning agreed did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
How wonderful, this is what life should be—there’s food when you’re hungry, a good place to sleep when you’re tired, and someone concerned about your daily meals.
It wasn’t like her previous life, where she was worked to the bone and still had to find her own place to sleep and eat.
She persevered, day in and day out, year after year.
Until her hair prematurely whitened, until she aged before her time.
By the time she came out, Gu Ning was already standing at the door waiting for her.
“Did you not sleep at all last night?”
Gu Ning smoothed her frizzy hair; her hair was flat, her eyes lifeless, even her complexion was poor, and there were many bloodshot lines in her eyes.
Clearly, she looked like someone who hadn’t slept for a long time.
“It’s okay,” Tang Yuxin sighed faintly.
Being a doctor is just like this; I have long been aware of it.
Doctors always race against illness for every second, as one second might just mean the difference between life and death.
And life and death can hinge on that critically urgent second.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to have a meal,” Gu Ning extended his hand to hold Tang Yuxin’s, her fingers were a bit cold, but his were extremely warm.
Tang Yuxin didn’t feel any awkwardness; after all they’d been through, any interaction between them was nothing less than normal.
Besides, Tang Yuxin felt that she indeed needed someone to hold her at the moment, otherwise, in her dazed state, she was afraid she would walk into a wall.
And Gu Ning’s approach was truly right.
Even as he led Tang Yuxin, she nearly walked into a utility pole, a door, and a wall.
For this place, it was considered a luxurious setup.
Of course, who else but the boss here?
For now, Gu Ning was single, so the house was too big for just him.
But it would be too small once he got married.
It didn’t matter, though, since he had other properties.
He could live anywhere he wanted.
Seeing the bed made so cleanly and the blankets folded so neatly, Tang Yuxin knew it was Gu Ning’s bed.
Only someone with such a touch of OCD would make his bed like this.
The former Tang Yuxin, to be honest, would never dare to lie down on it—it was just too clean, and she’d feel pressured.
But having spent more time with Gu Ning, she knew he always liked his blankets folded in such a way, even the ones at her place.
Sometimes, when she was too busy, it was Gu Ning, the domestic man, who would tidy her room.
So now, she didn’t care.
She was so tired that she collapsed onto the bed and didn’t move, no matter how much Gu Ning called her.
She didn’t hear a thing.
But she was somewhat conscious, thinking of something else.
Like in her previous life, after Zhang Xiaomei married Gu Ning, with her temperament, she probably wouldn’t follow him to the military base.
If she didn’t, wouldn’t they end up just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, only able to meet a few times a year?
As she pondered, her mind gradually emptied until she knew nothing more.
Gu Ning pulled the blanket over Tang Yuxin and drew the curtains with care.
The sun was nice today, the rays already streaming into the room.
It wouldn’t be long before it became glaring.
Of course, it was a comfortable temperature for sleeping, especially with the warm breeze that would come in, bringing waves of sleepiness, coupled with the unique clean scent of grass from this place.
“Yuxin, wake up.”
Gu Ning gently patted Tang Yuxin’s face.
It was time to get up for work.
