Chapter 138: One hundred thirty-eight Feed him water_1 Chapter 138: One hundred thirty-eight Feed him water_1 Sister Wang Lili was also filled with emotion.

“This child is really too sensible, just too sensible!”

Nobody knew that Xiao Tangtang wasn’t actually highly intelligent or particularly understanding.

How much could such a small child really understand?

She simply didn’t want to make her dad feel bad.

She was just trying to make her dad happy in her own way.

Sister Wang Lili was afraid Xiao Zhou would make another mistake and cause the child pain once more.

She glanced at the door and made a bold decision.

“Never mind, I’ll do it!”

After all, no one was around, no one to see her.

Honestly, the child looked so lovely and clever.

Her pair of shiny black eyes seemed as if they could speak, and just one look made you find her adorable.

And on top of that, she was so understanding, Sister Wang Lili really couldn’t bear to see Xiao Tangtang suffer.

“Give me a pair of gloves!” she said to Xiao Zhou.

Having slipped up himself, Xiao Zhou also feared making another mistake.

Hearing that Sister Wang Lili across from him was asking for gloves,

He quickly grabbed a new pair from beneath the workbench and handed them over.

“Sister Wang, you can trust me, I definitely won’t tell anyone in our team that you did the injection!”

There were divisions among the nurses, and whichever team made a mistake bore the responsibility.

Generally, members of one team weren’t allowed to interfere with another team’s duties.

That would mean taking on responsibility.

Sister Wang Lili didn’t say a word, but put on the gloves.

She skillfully picked up a new syringe needle, looked at Xiao Tangtang, and said patiently, “Good child, close your eyes, Auntie will be done in a moment.”

No sooner had Sister Wang Lili spoken than Gu Chen covered Xiao Tangtang’s eyes with his hand.

He really did feel sorry for his little girl!

It was only upon covering her eyes that he discovered even the temples were damp with sweat.

It showed just how painful the previous injection had been!

And even though she was in such pain, the little one still clenched her teeth and told him it didn’t hurt!

Knowing the truth now, Gu Chen’s heart felt shattered.

His little Xiao Tangtang, she was really too sensible.

Taking advantage of Sister Wang Lili’s busy hands, Xiao Zhou quickly went into the office behind and took out a bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy from the drawer.

After all, she had made a mistake; she owed an apology.

Sister Wang Lili was experienced—one needle in and blood was seen, flowing along the tube into the collection vial.

In a few seconds, enough blood was taken.

Sister Wang Lili quickly covered the needle site with cotton and then carefully removed the needle.

Seeing that it was finally successful, Gu Chen’s heart instantly returned to its place.

He let out a breath subconsciously and then released his hold from Xiao Tangtang’s face.

The little girl’s eyes were already wet.

Her thick eyelashes were damp and slightly drooped.

They looked moist.

Her pale little face looked extremely pitiful.

Bright tears swirled in her eyes, yet she held them back from falling.

She pursed her little mouth.

“Daddy, is it all right now?”

Gu Chen nodded emphatically.

“Yes, all done, no more needles now.”

Xiao Tangtang sniffled and said stubbornly, “Xiao Tangtang doesn’t hurt, it really doesn’t hurt!”

Seeing the pain written all over the child’s face,

Seeing her trying not to worry him by insisting it didn’t hurt, Gu Chen felt like his heart was being pricked with needles.

It was too agonizing, truly agonizing.

Thankfully, the blood draw was finally over.

Now, Nurse Xiao Zhou came out; she looked down at Xiao Tangtang, her voice tinged with guilt.

“Sweetheart, Auntie didn’t mean to hurt you. Can you forgive Auntie, please?”

Xiao Tangtang blinked, looking somewhat listless.

“Auntie, I’m not hurting.”

She didn’t know what to say, so she just remembered that she wasn’t in pain.

No matter what she said, it wasn’t painful.

It just wasn’t painful! It just wasn’t painful!

She was just very strong!

Seeing the pitiful look on the little girl’s face, Xiao Zhou also began to feel distressed. She handed a White Rabbit Creamy Candy to Xiao Tangtang.

“You are the bravest child I’ve ever seen. How about I give this to you?”

Upon seeing the candy, Xiao Tangtang instantly stretched her small mouth into a smile.

She liked eating candy.

The little one reached out with her chubby hand and accepted the White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

She spoke with a muffled, childish voice.

“Thank you, Auntie!”

Wang Lili beside her sighed in admiration.

“Such a good child. A child this sensible is truly rare!”

If she could have such an understanding child in the future, she’d probably wake up laughing from her dreams!

After leaving the blood collection room,

Ji Pianran indeed hadn’t come out yet.

Guai Guai peeled a piece of White Rabbit Creamy Candy and put it in her mouth.

The little one didn’t complain about being hungry anymore.

She was only tired, her rounded eyes slowly closing. She hadn’t finished the candy in her mouth when she fell asleep on Guai Guai’s shoulder.

Guai Guai, not wanting Xiao Tangtang to be woken by noise, found a quieter place to sit down, holding Xiao Tangtang all the while.

Until half an hour later, Ji Pianran walked out of examination room 203.

Not finding Xiao Tangtang and herself, Ji Pianran immediately started looking around.

She hadn’t walked far when she saw Guai Guai sitting in the corner of the hall, holding the sleeping Xiao Tangtang.

Seeing him holding their daughter so carefully, Ji Pianran inexplicably felt a twinge of heartache.

She walked over, bent down, and gently touched Guai Guai’s shoulder. She whispered, “I’m done with the examination. Give the child to me, and you can rest a bit before your examination.”

Guai Guai smiled at her.

“No rush, Xiao Tangtang just said she’s hungry. You must be hungry too, right? Let’s eat first, and then I’ll go.”

Guai Guai’s voice sounded somewhat worn out.

After all, he had been anxious for a good while, plus he had been holding Xiao Tangtang motionless for half an hour.

He was genuinely tired.

Ji Pianran took out a canned bottle from her little cloth bag, filled with water.

This bottle was left over from a can that her mother-in-law had bought for them when they just got married.

Normally, Ji Pianran would drink water from it.

Guai Guai didn’t feel thirsty originally, but upon seeing the water, he felt his throat suddenly dry up.

He then remembered that he hadn’t drunk any water all morning.

Guai Guai swallowed.

Seeing Guai Guai standing still, Ji Pianran assumed he was avoiding her.

She blinked rapidly and hurriedly explained.

“This, this cup is clean. I washed it this morning and haven’t had a chance to drink from it…”

Guai Guai, seeing her anxious manner, felt both heartache and amusement.

How could he ever avoid her?

She was his wife!

She was the mother of his child!

He would never avoid her!

Guai Guai looked at his two occupied arms, smiling helplessly.

“Wife, I don’t have any hands free.”

Hearing that this was the reason, Ji Pianran suddenly pursed her lips and then laughed embarrassedly.

“Oh!”

She smiled with her eyes forming crescents.

So, Guai Guai wasn’t avoiding her after all.

She just knew!

When Guai Guai saw her laugh, he shook his head helplessly.

His wife always seemed so calm and collected with others.

How come she was a little clumsy around him?
