Chapter 563

Curling his lips in speechlessness, Shen Xing muttered under his breath: "I'm your own brother, and not only do you not comfort me, you even poke at my heart."

"I think you're adjusting quite well yourself," Shen Ci said, watching her brother with a calm expression while drinking her soup: "Didn't you sign up for the e-sports club?"

"Yeah, if I can't figure out romance, I might as well do something I'm good at."

Hearing him say this, Shen Ci knew that her brother was still more or less hurting inside. Even if he didn't say it, first loves are usually the most unforgettable. The first person one likes in this life is always the most special.

Especially since he was still in his pure-hearted phase. When she was his age, she had lost even more miserably, being deceived by Li Xiao to the point where she didn't know what the world was, which directly affected her entire life.

Everyone's growth doesn't happen for no reason; one must experience things to grow.

Therefore, Shen Ci didn't lecture her brother with long-winded principles, but firmly supported the decision he had made: "That's great. If playing games can bring you emotional value, your sister won't object. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

"Really? Then what if I go to compete in tournaments?" Shen Xing asked tentatively upon hearing this.

Shen Ci accepted it completely: "If you want to, then go. Your sister won't say anything more this time. Do what you want to do."

Because she now had the full ability to provide a safety net for her brother, she supported him in doing whatever he wanted to do, as he pleased.

Hearing his sister say this, Shen Xing finally smiled, and he was also very moved in his heart: "Thank you, sister."

In the afternoon, Shen Ci was accompanied by her brother back to the hospital.

Because there was an emergency medical record, the doctor prescribed her medicine directly. This time, she didn't need to sit in the emergency hall but went to the infusion hall on the second floor.

Shen Xing stayed by his sister's side to take care of her until the nurse had finished setting up the IV drip: "Your fever has come down from when I took your temperature earlier. Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Shen Ci leaned back in her chair and shook her head with a smile: "Sister is much better, don't worry. If you have things to do this afternoon, you can go straight back to school."

"That won't do. Mom would definitely scold me if she found out," Shen Xing refused immediately: "Besides, I definitely wouldn't be at ease. How could I leave such a beautiful sister alone in the hospital?"

"You're such a smooth talker. Then go buy your sister a bottle of water."

"Okay!"

Shen Xing nodded, rose, and ran quickly to the first floor, where there was a convenience store inside the hospital.

Shen Ci looked up at the infusion bottle above her head, thinking about how it would take over two hours to drip drop by drop, and couldn't help but sigh. Last night, she could have fallen asleep from the dizziness of the fever, but today she could only sit there and wait.

At this moment, two young nurses nearby began to chat while working.

"Hey, did you hear about the pregnant woman who came to the emergency room last night with a massive hemorrhage?"

"I heard about it. Dr. Gao handled it. Everyone in the hospital has been talking about it since this morning."

"I heard the pregnant woman almost lost her life from the hemorrhage, and her husband and that old-fashioned father-in-law refused to sign the papers, saying that since she gave birth to a girl, the family line would end if her uterus was removed."

"That's terrifying. It's already 2025, and we can still run into this kind of thing."

"Dr. Gao ignored them and performed the surgery on the pregnant woman first. It was only halfway through the surgery that the man finally signed. If they had waited for the signature, the pregnant woman probably would have died on the delivery table."

"But then again, Dr. Gao took a huge risk. If he had done a bad thing with good intentions, what would happen if the other party refused to sign and ended up blaming Dr. Gao for the responsibility?"

"The situation was so urgent at the time, Dr. Gao probably didn't even think about those things."

Shen Ci happened to hear it clearly from the side. She had only seen that scene from afar yesterday and had a rough understanding of what had happened, but she didn't know there were so many details.

And just at this moment, the two young nurses suddenly said in excited, low voices: "Dr. Gao is here."

Shen Ci subconsciously looked up.

She saw Gao Zhan wearing a white coat walking quickly into the infusion hall, holding a plastic basket in his hand containing some unopened, unused medicine.

He walked straight to the workstation and handed the small basket to the nurse on duty, saying in a low, expressionless voice: "Replace this set of medicine with 'UR'."

The young nurse's eyes lit up when she saw Gao Zhan, but even so, she didn't forget to remind him: "Dr. Gao, you have to go to the pharmacy to change medicine. The medicine here is all recorded. If you want to adjust it, you need to bring the signed document."

Gao Zhan tapped lightly on a piece of paper inside: "Here."

When the nurse heard this, she picked it up and looked; sure enough, it was the signed form for adjusting the medicine. She nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go find it for you now. Please wait a moment."

Gao Zhan nodded, his tall, straight figure leaning slightly against the workstation, and he took out his phone to look down at it.

His profile was almost perfect; from his forehead to his nose bridge, then to his lips and jaw, everything flowed as smoothly as a work of art.

Not only did Shen Ci think he looked good, but the two young nurses nearby couldn't help but whisper: "So handsome. It's a pity such a handsome male doctor is in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department."

"When I get pregnant in the future, I'll definitely book Dr. Gao's appointment!"

"Me too. If nothing else, he's truly responsible. Looking at such a handsome face every day, maybe the child born will be better looking too."

Shen Ci laughed. No matter how obsessed they were, as nurses, they should understand that whether a child is good-looking has absolutely nothing to do with anyone outside of blood relations.

At this moment, Gao Zhan suddenly raised his head and glanced unintentionally toward Shen Ci's side.

Shen Ci wasn't wearing makeup today, and because she was recovering from a serious illness, her aura was different from usual—very soft and gentle, but still beautiful.

Their eyes met unexpectedly. Shen Ci curled her lips and gave a faint, shallow smile. Gao Zhan also recognized her at a glance and nodded lightly.

She thought that would be the end of it with just a greeting from afar, but Gao Zhan paused for a moment and actually walked toward her.

Shen Ci's gaze remained on him, following his figure step by step until he was right in front of her.

She was sitting, and Gao Zhan was standing.

He glanced at the glass liquid bottle and asked: "Are you sick?"

Several nurses were clearly looking over. Shen Ci nodded as if no one else was there: "I had a fever last night and went to the emergency room. I'm almost better now."

"Last night?" Gao Zhan looked at Shen Ci.

"Yes, I saw you. A pregnant woman seemed to be in bad condition. Is she okay?"

Gao Zhan understood: "She's fine. Both mother and daughter are safe, just a small twist in the middle."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked left and right, his handsome brow furrowed slightly, and he asked with curiosity: "Did you come by yourself?"

Shen Ci was about to respond when she saw her brother walking back quickly, carrying a plastic bag. She lifted her chin toward Gao Zhan's back: "Someone is accompanying me."

Before Gao Zhan could turn around to look, Shen Xing had already arrived: "I bought you something sweet, I was afraid you'd have low blood sugar."

Gao Zhan stared at the back of Shen Xing's head for a moment, then looked at Shen Ci: "Boyfriend?"
