The hospital exercise room welcomed a new girl today.
"Brother Minghan, go ahead and get busy, I'll just walk around here by myself," urged Gu Xiaoer, not daring to take up too much time of the renowned Doctor Shen. It was only after her admission to the hospital that she realized the stature of Shen Minghan in the Central Hospital, previously having naively thought that Shen Minghan, like Han Luoli, was merely a pretty face.
"Then be careful and don't overdo the exercises."
"And have some water after exercising for a while, your vocal cords still haven't fully recovered."
"And..." Shen Minghan continued to instruct, concerned.
But Gu Xiaoer pushed him from behind with a teasing smile, "Alright, alright, Brother Minghan, I got it. Why are you fussing over me like you're my real brother!"
As they grew familiar with each other, Gu Xiaoer spoke more casually.
The man with splendid future prospects gently rubbed her head, smiling warmly, "I'd actually love to have a little sister like you!"
As soon as Shen Minghan left, several young men quickly gathered around the now-alone Gu Xiaoer.
Having been cooped up in the hospital for so many days, this was the first time they had seen such a pretty girl, and they became very interested, asking various warm-hearted questions.
"Hi, my name is Gu Xiaoer," she greeted shyly, unintentionally touching her forehead; these people were a bit too enthusiastic.
"Xiao Er, come play this, it's really fun," the young men, most of whom were almost recovered, saw Gu Xiaoer looking so delicate and tender, naturally they were all very attentive.
"Xiao Er, if you're tired of this, you can switch to that!" another young man pointed to another occupied machine, not waiting for Gu Xiaoer's refusal before he shooed the person away.
Gu Xiaoer's face turned crimson as she quickly waved her hands, declining, thinking she would never come here again; the people here were too enthusiastic, it felt strange.
A young man sidled up to her, "Xiao Er, the exercise room at the Central Hospital is too crowded. Why don't you come play at my house after you're discharged? My family owns a gym, and I can take you there directly!"
Gu Xiaoer gasped, but noticed a few young men nearby smiling mischievously, while the gym guy blushed, full of anticipation.
The belatedly aware Gu Xiaoer finally understood their intentions, amused. No wonder they were so excited and eager; they were hoping for a hospital romance? But it's not possible to agree to visit a boy's home the first time you meet.
She repeatedly shook her hands, "No need, no need, I'm not usually into exercise, even my boyfriend can't drag me into it." A clear refusal.
The gym guy was taken aback, bewildered, "Xiao Er, you have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah!" she nodded.
"You only look like you're seventeen or eighteen..." Such a fresh, young girl, why so early in a relationship? "Could it be that Doctor Shen is your boyfriend?"
Gu Xiaoer touched her face, feeling her youthful appearance could be deceiving. "Eh? No way, how could it be? He's not here; he's away on a trip."
The few young men around her also looked just as surprised.
Seeing they were eager to probe further, Gu Xiaoer quickly made the excuse of needing to take her temperature and returned to her room. She prayed that this wouldn't happen again; if Da Luoluo found out someone had been hitting on her, he would definitely be upset.
But the truth was...
In the elevator to the VIP ward, Gu Xiaoer ran into the gym guy and his friends once again.
"Xiao Er, you're staying in a VIP ward too?" They were even more astonished than before.
