Chapter 165: The President
“Have you asked her about it?”
“Not yet.” Zhou Xu looked honest. “She has a very bad temper. If I ask her about a non-professional, she’ll definitely be angry.”
Yan Xi thought to herself, “When did she get angry? She’s just a little impatient sometimes.”
However, now that Professor Qin Liang had left, it was impossible to find anyone who could replace him.
Yan Xi sighed. She initially only wanted to participate in the final spinal nerve surgery, but now she had to participate in the ancillary treatment at the beginning.
“Are you sure you want to invite her?”
“I’ll give it a try first. Actually, I’m not completely confident that I can get her to help.”
Yan Xi nodded. “Okay, good luck.”
“Don’t worry.”
…
Yan Xi returned to the ward. She was not in a good mood, but when she saw Gu Shen, she still smiled.
“I asked Gu Qi to buy some fruits. They look very fresh and I can peel an apple for you to eat.”
“Just wash it.” Gu Shen was reading the financial news. He said casually, “There’s no need to go to the trouble.”
“Then look at my hand.” Yan Xi leaned over to show him her hand and said coquettishly, “The bag is so heavy that it left red marks on my hand.”

“Why didn’t Gu Qi hold it for you?” Gu Shen looked unhappy. He placed Yan Xi’s hand on his and gently rubbed the red marks with his fingers.
“Are you feeling better? Next time, let Gu Qi do this kind of rough work.”
“It’s fine. Continue watching the television. I’ll go peel the apple.”
The financial channel was broadcasting the evening news. While peeling the apple, Yan Xi would occasionally look up at the television.
The scene showed the president of the country attending the summit.
The president was in his fifties this year. Though there were dark circles under his eyes, his aura was still quite intimidating.
When the president was shaking hands with someone, the camera zoomed in and gave him a close-up. Yan Xi could clearly see a callus between his thumb and index finger, which should be the marks left by holding a gun when he was young.
His right shoulder had probably been injured before, and he was still suffering from the aftereffects of it, because when people touched his shoulder, he frowned in pain.
Yan Xi was so focused that she did not even notice Gu Shen looking at her.
Gu Shen suddenly asked, “Is the President very dignified?”
“Indeed, but not as good as you.” Yan Xi peeled the apple and handed it to Gu Shen. “Have some. It’s good for your health.”
The apple Yan Xi chose was very big. Gu Shen couldn’t quite hold it in his hand. He looked at the big apple and was at a loss for words.
“What’s wrong?” Yan Xi reacted and asked tentatively, “Shall I cut it into pieces for you?”
Gu Shen nodded. “It’s too big.”
“Look at how pampered you are.” Yan Xi stuck out her tongue. “Do you need me to feed you too?”
“Ask Gu Qi to come in and cut it.”
“You don’t have to trouble him with such a small matter. I can serve you.”
Yan Xi cut the apple and placed it on the plate. Gu Shen took it, picked up an apple, and brought it to Yan Xi’s mouth.
Now, the television screen turned into the president playing games with primary school students. The scene was harmonious.
“The president seems to like children a lot.”
“An unmarried, middle-aged politician naturally has to use this method to win the public’s favor.” Gu Shen picked up another apple and handed it to her. “It’s very sweet.”
…
Uncle Hai was shocked by the fact that Gu Shen was hospitalized. He cleaned up and changed his clothes before coming over to help Gu Shen wash up.
When Yan Xi saw him, she was very surprised. “Why are you here?”
“I’m worried about Master.” Uncle Hai sighed.
Gu Shen’s tone was calm, as if he was not the one lying on the bed. “Uncle Hai, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“I know.” Uncle Hai sighed again. “I’m old now, and I’m getting quite neurotic sometimes.”
Yan Xi could not help Gu Shen wash up, so she let Uncle Hai do it.
“I’m staying in the next ward tonight. Just call me if you want my help.”
Yan Xi nodded. “Thank you.”
