Chapter 1366: Chapter 1519: Well, Men Should Take the Initiative
The doctor in the clinic saw Tao Zhixiang’s swollen hand and the rather unnerving blisters on her fingers and couldn’t help but frown.
"How could you be so careless? This burn is really severe! If the blisters were smaller, they wouldn’t need to be opened, they would just absorb slowly on their own, but yours must be treated!"
As the doctor spoke, they carefully made a slight incision at the lower edge of the blister.
It was indeed very painful, causing Tao Zhixiang’s body to tremble.
He Muyang, watching from the side, frowned and said, "Doctor, could you be a bit gentler? She is afraid of pain!"
The doctor glanced at He Muyang and laughed softly.
"Oh, quite worried about your girlfriend, huh? Isn’t it Valentine’s Day today? Why aren’t you taking your girlfriend out for dinner, still cooking at home? See, this is her way of protesting against you!"
After the doctor’s words, He Muyang’s expression slightly changed, but his heart fluttered. As for Tao Zhixiang, upon hearing this, she quickly explained, "Doctor, you’ve misunderstood, he’s not my boyfriend, just a colleague!"
Upon hearing Tao Zhixiang clarify their relationship so swiftly, He Muyang’s brows furrowed.
Just colleagues?
The doctor felt a bit awkward too but soon smiled again.
"In my opinion, it’s never just that simple with a senior. Many lovers slowly develop from being colleagues! Spending time together, working together, it’s easy for love to grow. Young man, I believe in you! Keep it up!"
Tao Zhixiang: "..."
Honestly, this doctor is just too much. Isn’t this matchmaking nonsense?
But the next moment, He Muyang laughed, turned to look at Tao Zhixiang, his gaze gleaming with a playful smile.
"Did you hear that? The doctor told me to keep it up!"
Tao Zhixiang: "..."
These two are really something else, even joking around should have its limits!
After breaking the blister, the doctor applied medication to it. While applying the medicine, it was really... painful!
He Muyang looked down at Tao Zhixiang and noticed her delicate face twisted in pain, and her eyes had already welled up with tears, dampening her lashes.
She was enduring it all, biting her lip with her white teeth, making no sound, but her tension and forbearance made He Muyang’s heart ache a little.
"Hang in there, it’ll be over soon!"
He Muyang gently patted Tao Zhixiang’s shoulder, as if comforting her.
Tao Zhixiang could only nod, though the place on her shoulder touched by He Muyang felt somewhat... well, uncomfortable.
The doctor, while applying the ointment, said, "Just bear with it for a little while longer, this ointment is a bit cool and has pain-relieving effects. It will feel better in a bit."
"Okay!" Tao Zhixiang replied.
Finally, the medication was applied, and the doctor prescribed more medication for external use.
When Tao Zhixiang tried to pay, He Muyang had already handed over the money, turning to Tao Zhixiang and saying, "Your hand just got treated, don’t touch your wallet to avoid hurting your hand."
The doctor smilingly accepted the money He Muyang handed over.
"Well, a man should take the initiative! Young man, great job!"
Tao Zhixiang was genuinely speechless.
Once the two left the small clinic, Tao Zhixiang said to He Muyang, "Senior, thank you."
"Don’t be so formal, I happened to be here today!"
"I’ll pay you back another day."
"Why be so polite? If you feel indebted, why don’t you... treat me to dinner another day?" He Muyang’s eyes contained a smile, and his tone was so gentle.
Tao Zhixiang: "..."
