Chapter 1547: Another New Discovery

~7 min read 1,352 words

Before Wang Sinian could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao made her decision: "Fine, let's schedule the surgery as soon as possible."

Wang Sinian hadn't expected this woman to make a decision so lightly, and his eyes immediately widened: "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"I am a doctor, I..."

"Don't you dare say you're a doctor again; with your level of skill, it's enough to make people laugh their heads off!"

Wang Sinian was mocking Xu Xiaoxiao.

But this time, his face lacked arrogance and provocation.

There was only worry.

Jiang Chenghao did not argue with Wang Sinian either; he frowned subconsciously and asked, "Should we have other specialists take a look?"

"The few people here are already very famous specialists."

Wang Sinian still felt that Xu Xiaoxiao's decision was too hasty.

He knitted his brows and said, "No, we still need to find someone else for a second opinion."

As for who to find...

Wang Sinian thought of someone and turned to leave immediately!

With the noisy person gone, Xu Xiaoxiao began discussing the upcoming surgery with the doctors.

Jiang Chenghao did not interrupt; he simply noted down the obscure technical terms silently, checking them on his phone from time to time.

Just as the group confirmed the general surgical plan, someone suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

One of them was Wang Sinian, who had returned after leaving.

And there was another...

"Xin'ai?!"

The person currently being dragged in by Wang Sinian was none other than Liu Xin'ai.

Because she had come in such a hurry, Liu Xin'ai's breathing was rapid.

As soon as she saw Xu Xiaoxiao, she said worriedly, "Your colleague said you were in critical condition; what exactly is going on?"

What, critical condition?

Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Wang Sinian speechlessly, then questioned him: "You're just afraid the world won't be in chaos, aren't you!"

"Isn't heart surgery a matter of life and death?" Wang Sinian looked at Liu Xin'ai again, "You, talk some sense into this crazy woman!"

Liu Xin'ai did not favor either side.

After understanding the cause and effect and reviewing all the examination reports...

She actually supported Xu Xiaoxiao's choice.

Wang Sinian was dumbfounded!

After a moment to recover, he blurted out an accusation: "Are you doctors all crazy? Don't you know how dangerous this is!?"

"It's only dangerous if we don't treat it, and you can't avoid reality just because you're worried!"

Liu Xin'ai's tone was gentle and soft.

Yet it made Wang Sinian's expression change.

He even stuttered a little: "W-who's worried about her!"

"If you aren't worried about her, why would you be in such a rush to drag me over here?"

"I... I just thought she was being too reckless! My grandfather appreciates her; if she really goes and kills herself, my grandfather..."

That's right, his own grandfather was also a specialist, why look far afield when the answer is close by!?

Wang Sinian ran out of the hospital room again.

The impression he gave was inexplicable.

Xu Xiaoxiao remarked, "This guy is really acting strange today."

As her voice trailed off, she noticed that both Liu Xin'ai and Jiang Chenghao were looking at her.

Hmm... did she say something wrong?

Why did it feel like the gazes of these two were hiding something?

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

Seeing that neither of them intended to say anything, she spoke up herself: "Are you worried about me? My heart has some issues, but it's not a terminal illness, and it was caught early; it can be cured."

Yes, Xu Xiaoxiao was lucky to have encountered a responsible doctor and discovered the problem early.

But surgery always carries risks.

Especially when it's on the heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao had always been impulsive and fiery, as warm as the sun.

Who would have thought...

Liu Xin'ai felt a pang of heartache.

But she didn't want to add to Xu Xiaoxiao's burden, so she didn't voice her inner worries and only encouraged her: "That's right, we've found the problem, so we'll just solve it. Once you're recovered, you'll be as good as new!"

"That's right, that's right!"

The two best friends encouraged each other.

Jiang Chenghao, standing nearby, also hid his worry: "I am not a doctor, but I have experience taking care of patients; I can look after Xiao Xiao."

"Ah? This..."

"I think that works; with Cheng Hao around, you might actually behave yourself."

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse, but Liu Xin'ai felt it was a good idea.

And the reason she approved wasn't on a whim, but because she had noticed that whenever Jiang Chenghao was around, Xu Xiaoxiao became much more well-behaved...

Wait a minute, had she discovered something else?

Liu Xin'ai felt that her sense of smell was becoming more and more sensitive.

It was just that she didn't know... whether it was reliable or not.

Liu Xin'ai gently pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao felt her gaze, so he turned his head and smiled.

In that smile, there was openness.

The moment the two of them made eye contact, Xu Xiaoxiao also saw it.

She didn't say anything, just lowered her eyes gently.

Then, she heard Liu Xin'ai say: "Then it's settled; the task of taking care of Xiao Xiao is handed over to you."

"Okay."

Xu Xiaoxiao continued to lower her eyes and sighed: "You two have happily divided the work just like that? Not going to ask for the opinion of the person involved?"

Liu Xin'ai looked over and said with a smile: "Then tell us your opinion; if it's reasonable, we will listen to it."

"The suggestion I propose is definitely reasonable; um... I want a professional caregiver to take care of me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenghao felt a bit hurt: "Do you not trust me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, but after the surgery, I will be lying in bed unable to move, and eating, drinking, and relieving myself will all require someone to take care of me..."

Xu Xiaoxiao did not finish her sentence.

But Jiang Chenghao understood what she meant.

Instantly, a look of discomfort flashed across his face.

Liu Xin'ai also patted her forehead and said with annoyance: "How could I have forgotten about that!"

"Maybe in your heart, I am genderless."

Liu Xin'ai thought about it and felt that this was not the answer.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao got along very harmoniously, so harmoniously that they would ignore the difference between men and women...

Oh my, Liu Xin'ai was about to start letting her imagination run wild again!

Xu Xiaoxiao noticed that Liu Xin'ai did not deny her words, so she asked resentfully: "So I really don't have a gender?"

Reaching out to poke Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead, Liu Xin'ai casually found an excuse: "Don't talk nonsense, I am mentally screening candidates."

"Candidates?"

"Candidates for the caregiver to look after you, or were you planning to let Jiang Chenghao do it himself?"

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head: "No rush, take your time screening!"

Liu Xin'ai looked at her cowardly expression and smiled lightly.

Although Jiang Chenghao could not personally take care of Xu Xiaoxiao, he did not want to be an outsider either.

After thinking for a moment, he suggested: "Xiao Xiao, I will come to supervise you from time to time to see if you are cooperating with the treatment."

This request was nothing, and Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "You are welcome, you are welcome."

The difference between her relaxed, smiling face and her previous depressed, conflicted state was really not too obvious!

And this difference made Jiang Chenghao feel... that Xu Xiaoxiao was a bit disgusted by him.

Sigh!

Jiang Chenghao sighed.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Xin'ai did not notice Jiang Chenghao's change; they had already started chatting about professional topics related to the surgery.

Jiang Chenghao could not understand.

But as the person who was going to supervise Xu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Chenghao could help Xu Xiaoxiao prepare the most comfortable recovery environment.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chenghao turned around and went to make arrangements.
