Chapter 671 — What Are You Doing?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, you're awake!" Shen Yushu was grinning at Gu Mengyao. "Brother Chewing Gum and I are going to treat you now. Don't move around—we're about to begin!"
"You—!" Gu Mengyao was both embarrassed and furious, yet utterly helpless. She had already been stripped completely bare; whether it should be seen or not, Wei Zhao had probably seen it all by now, which left her thoroughly miserable. Although the excuse Shen Yushu had given barely served the purpose of self-deception, she ought at least to have been given some time to think and to come to terms with it! To just strip her clothes off like that was simply not decent!
"Yaoyao, when I give you the acupuncture in a moment, you may feel pain and fatigue, but you must endure it and not move around," Wei Zhao said, cutting off the argument between Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu and going straight to the precautions for the acupuncture.
"Oh... all right." Gu Mengyao had no choice but to accept reality for the moment. Seeing that Wei Zhao was not leering at her, but was genuinely instructing her like a doctor, she felt somewhat better in her heart.
"Later on, you will feel the urge to urinate. That is because I have driven all the toxins in your body into your excretory system," Wei Zhao continued. "But you must hold it in. Do not simply let it out. You must hold on until you truly cannot bear it any longer, and only then tell me..."
"Ah... oh..." Gu Mengyao's face flushed instantly. Discussing such matters with Wei Zhao—how could she not be shy? But she also knew that Wei Zhao was treating her illness, so she merely nodded to show that she understood.
"Xiaoshu, when Yaoyao can no longer hold it, use the disposable cup over there to collect the urine," Wei Zhao said, pointing to where the surgical supplies were kept.
"Oh, can't we just let it go on the floor? Seems like it wouldn't matter, would it?" Shen Yushu glanced at the disposable cup and felt that this task was rather daunting—could she really manage it?
"I need to formulate the antidote according to the composition of the poison in Yaoyao's urine. There are also twenty-seven students still unconscious; I cannot possibly leave them be," Wei Zhao said. "Whether for the sake of Grandpa Guan's entrustment or the reputation of Uncle Chu's company, I must cure those twenty-seven students."
"Oh, I got it!" Shen Yushu nodded. "Sister Yaoyao, then when you need to pee later, be sure to tell me, okay? I'll go get the cup!"
Though Gu Mengyao was deeply embarrassed, wishing she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into—especially when she heard that Wei Zhao would even study her urine, her face burning hotter still—when Wei Zhao spoke of protecting her father's company's reputation, all that remained in her heart was gratitude.
Not only was Wei Zhao laboring to heal her, but he was also going to treat those remaining twenty-seven students so that her father's company's reputation would not suffer! Wei Zhao was merely a shield she had hired; there was no need at all for him to go to such lengths. For a salary of thirty thousand a month, he was doing a great many things far beyond what that salary warranted!
Whether it was herself or Xiaoshu, whenever trouble arose, the first to appear was always Wei Zhao. He seemed to know how to do everything and could do anything, like an all-purpose nursemaid. So long as Wei Zhao appeared, she and Xiaoshu would feel at ease, would feel reassured!
This was no longer merely the duty of a follower. Gu Mengyao did not know how to thank Wei Zhao. In this moment, she would rather that there were no such employment relationship between them, but rather that of friends! Yet if it were merely friendship, would Wei Zhao still bother with her?
Did he truly regard her as his friend?
Naturally, Wei Zhao had no idea that the young lady was fretting over gains and losses. He took out the silver needles, sterilized them with alcohol, and then said to Gu Mengyao, "We're about to begin."
