Chapter 34 - Refraining From Cursing Is An Act of Courtesy

It would be easy to dodge a spear in the open, but it was hard to avoid a stab in the dark.

Gu Xiang'an was a viper hiding in the dark; he might dart out and bite you at any moment.

Whatever tactics he had up his sleeves, I have dodged them all.

However, he has turned his attention to Xize, who is my only weakness.

Gu Nanyu had an idea in her head, but she was still very hesitant about it even after contemplating endlessly about it.

She only drifted off to sleep when the sky slowly turned bright.

The next morning, she had to get up and go to school. However, when she woke up, she found that Gu Xize was having a fever.

His forehead was burning hot like a brick right out of the oven, and his body temperature was way above normal.

Gu Nanyu's heart dropped, she knew that the burn from the night before had caused it.

She swiftly decided that she must bring him to the hospital. Hence, with Gu Xize in her arms, she bolted right out of the room.

The driver was cleaning the car in the courtyard. When she noticed that, Gu Nanyu placed Xize into the car immediately. Then, she sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

"Young master Nanyu, Third Master will be using this car later..."

Gu Nanyu paid no heed to the driver's words as she drove the car straight out of the courtyard.

The morning traffic was completely congested. Gu Nanyu could only wish that she had a pair of wings at her disposal, so that she could just take off to the hospital.

When Gu Nanyu listened to the radio reporting about Beijing's traffic that day, she realized that the roads around the hospital in town were jam-packed.

Helplessly, she stared at the traffic light ahead. In the end, she changed her mind and headed for Beijing First District Military Hospital as the roads there had less traffic.

When Gu Nanyu arrived at the hospital, she hurried in with Gu Xize in her arms, unaware that Fu Beichen was trailing right behind her.

When Fu Beichen saw Gu Nanyu rushing into the hospital, he pointed it out to Jiang Yishan over his shoulder.

"Go and see what's going on."

"Yes, sir."

Gu Xize suffered a bacterial infection from the burn, which triggered his fever. Thus, the doctor gave him an injection, which would help lower his temperature.

Then, Gu Xize was admitted into the hospital for further observation.

After Gu Xize's condition stabilized and he had fallen asleep in his ward, Gu Nanyu went to handle the hospitalization procedures.

There were quite a few people going through their admissions in the morning, so Gu Nanyu had to wait in line.

It was crowded from the front to the back of the room. Behind her, a lady was holding a child. He was an active little child, as he kept squirming in her arms.

His mother almost lost her grip on the child, but Gu Nanyu was there to help her.

A woman in her thirties was standing in front of Gu Nanyu. When she was helping the child, Gu Nanyu accidentally brushed against her skirt.

Surprised, the woman turned around. When she saw that a young man was the culprit, she dusted her skirt unhappily and started cursing at Gu Nanyu rudely.

"Why the f*ck did you push me for!"

Originally, Gu Nanyu wanted to apologize. However, before she could do so, the other person had already started spewing profanity.

The remorse on her face dissipated and was replaced by her usual cold expression.

"I have one. Do you need it?" Gu Nanyu replied with an icy tone.

Before the woman could react, a youngster standing in another line burst into laughter.

Only then, the woman realized that Gu Nanyu was insulting her!

Why the f*ck did you push me for… How many v*ginas… 1

Immediately, her cheeks stained red with indignation as scathing words tumbled out in torrents. "Where are your manners? You are but a boy, yet your mouth is filled with filth. Do you not have respect for others?"

Gu Nanyu merely stared at the lady, pondering about how hypocritical she was being since she was the one who used obscene language first.

"Refraining from cursing is an act of courtesy. Auntie, you asked me how many Ido I have. Out of politeness, I could only answer you honestly."

Rebutted by Gu Nanyu, the woman was rendered speechless.

It was then her cue to pay the fee. Crossed, she whipped around to make her payment and stopped paying attention to Gu Nanyu.

At the same time, Fu Beichen witnessed this incident as he was stepping out of the VIP ward.

However, not a hint of emotion could be read from his face, as he exited the hospital and got in a car to head toward the Military District.
