Chapter 190  : Legs Are Recovering

After Gu An was ready, she sent a message to Yan Xi.

[Xixi, I just got two new tickets to the hot spring in South Mountain. Do you want to go with me to enjoy a nice hot spring bath? We can relax for a few days.]

Yan Xi clicked her tongue. Gu An did not have a boyfriend, so she could only ask her out.

She poked Gu Shen. “Hasn’t Gu An joined the drama crew yet? Why is she so free?”

Seeing that Yan Xi did not reply, Gu Yin sent a video.

[Please come with me. I’ll cover all the expenses and all you need to do is relax yourself.]

The mountain villa looked good, and she did not need to spend any money. Yan Xi was already tempted, but she was still worried about Gu Shen.

“Do you want to go?” Gu Shen asked. “If you want, just go. Anyway, she’s the one spending money.”

Yan Xi sighed. “Next time. I’ve been too busy recently.”

“Next time, Gu An might not have time. It’s her first time asking you out. If you reject her like this, she will be sad.”

That was true. This was the first time Gu An had asked her out for fun. Moreover, Gu An had gone through a lot recently and needed someone to keep her company.

Seeing that Yan Xi still didn’t reply, Gu An kept bombarding her with messages.

[Xixi, I’m begging you. That hot spring is really good. Just come with me.]

Yan Xi agreed reluctantly. “Then I’ll go out with her for a few days?”

“Yeah, enjoy yourself.” Gu Shen touched her cheek. “You’ve been losing a lot of weight lately.”

Yan Xi pouted. “I’m still chubby.”

“How?” Gu Shen chuckled and poked her face. “I can even feel your cheek bone.”

“I’ll try to eat more,” Yan Xi muttered. Then, she complained, “The food at the rehabilitation center is really bad.”

Gu Shen clicked his tongue and pinched Yan Xi’s earlobe. “I’ll get our chef to go with us next time.”

…

Yan Xi and Gu An agreed to spend Saturday and Sunday together. On Friday, Yan Xi accompanied Gu Shen to the rehabilitation center.

Gu Shen still had to do acupuncture this time. Yan Xi covered his eyes and did the acupuncture.

After this period of treatment, Gu Shen started to have obvious feeling in his legs. The instrument also showed that his nerve muscles were recovering.

Yan Xi suppressed her excitement and helped him with the acupuncture.

Halfway through, Gu Shen’s phone suddenly rang. Yan Xi gestured for Zhou Xu to get it, but Gu Shen asked her to bring it over.

Yan Xi looked at Zhou Xu and he immediately said, “Mr. Gu, you can answer the phone first. We’ll resume the acupuncture later.”

Afraid that the other party would hang up, Yan Xi picked up the call.

“He’s already on the move. Are you going to—”

It was an unfamiliar male voice. Considering that Zhou Xu was still there, Yan Xi replied, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gu can’t answer the phone now. You can call back later.”

The other party quickly hung up. Yan Xi took a look and realized that it was an unknown number. There was not even a caller ID.

She handed the phone to Gu Shen. “I don’t know who it is, but it should be something urgent. You can call back later.”

Gu Shen took the phone and said calmly, “Okay.”

After the acupuncture session ended, Zhou Xu helped Gu Shen inject the nerve growth drug. At this point, Yan Xi looked away, because she couldn’t bear to watch Gu Shen suffering from the enormous pain caused by the drug.

After that, Gu Shen rested in the ward while Zhou Xu called Yan Xi out.

“Mr. Gu’s condition has stabilized. If there are no accidents, the surgery can be brought forward to next month.”

Yan Xi nodded and took out a thick stack of documents from her bag. “These are all documents I collected.”

“Alright, Senior, you have to rest well. I’ve noticed that you’ve lost a lot of weight recently.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Zhou Xu said again, “After the surgery, we still need to treat Mr. Gu with drugs, so it’s about time to plan the drug treatment.”

There were still many drugs in this world that had yet to be released or developed. She nodded and agreed. “I’ll take care of it.”
