Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"But Dr. Lu still gives me a very familiar feeling."

Lu Yaoyao's forehead was covered with sweat. "Maybe you rely on me, and my medical skills make you feel safe."

"Maybe. If you were her, how could you not recognize me?"

Lu Yaoyao didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him. The more she talked, the easier it would be to expose herself.

"Mr. Gu, go to bed early today!"

"it is good."

The night was dark, but Lu Yaoyao couldn't sleep, so she just walked out.

She found that He Zan was also not asleep. She was hugging Liang Zhu and looking towards Gu Huai's room.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Lu Yaoyao walked closer.

"Doctor Lu, when I first rescued Mr. Gu and brought him home, he didn't speak to me for over a month. He was very cold and distant to me. There was none of the romantic plot in the play where someone saves his life and then falls in love at first sight and pledges his love to you. Even now, he's been lukewarm towards me. I used to think he was just a block of ice that I couldn't warm up to. But he actually enjoys being close to you and has even spoken to you quite a bit."

"Can you imagine? He's been living in my house for nearly half a year, and he hasn't spoken more than ten sentences to me."

"You're overthinking it. He and I only have a doctor-patient relationship. I'm the doctor, so he's willing to talk to me. After all, only with more contact can I better understand his condition and develop a better treatment plan for him."

"Is that so?" He Zan was skeptical, but then he smiled and said, "No matter what, as long as Master Gu can get better soon, I'll be happy."

Lu Yaoyao looked at He Zan's innocent smile, feeling mixed emotions.

In the following days, Lu Yaoyao treated Gu Huai even more attentively. With her superb medical skills and Gu Huai's cooperation, his physical condition gradually improved.

Although his legs have not yet fully recovered sensation, he can already feel subtle touch; the condition of his eyes is also slowly improving, and he can occasionally vaguely capture some light and shadows under strong light stimulation.

"Mr. Gu, staying in your room all the time is not conducive to your recovery. You should have some sensitivity to light now, right? How about I let He Zan push you out for a walk and feel the scenery outside."

"Ok."

Although she tried her best to treat him, Gu Huai could feel that she was deliberately distancing herself from him in other aspects.

This made He Zan happy.

After all, when she wanted to push Mr. Gu to go out for a walk before, he was reluctant.

Never agreed once.

Lu Yaoyao made a simple pushchair, helped Gu Huaifang sit on it, and He Zan pushed him to walk.

But in fact, Lu Yaoyao was not too reassured, so she followed from a distance.

The fishermen and fisherwomen passing by cast all kinds of looks at me: curiosity, contempt, ridicule...

He Zan didn't care. She felt that even if Master Gu was blind or lame, he was still better than the fishermen who fished and dried their nets all day long.

She raised her chin slightly, feeling quite proud.

It would be fine for other people, but this black guy was so furious when he saw He Zan pushing Gu Huai out with a happy look on his face. He dropped the work at hand and walked over quickly, looking like he was ready to fight.

He Zan immediately stood in front of Gu Huai, arms outstretched, like an eagle protecting its chicks. "Heizi, what do you want to do? You are not allowed to hurt Brother Gu?"

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, you're calling him so affectionately. Does he feel the same affection towards you as you do towards him? Or are you the one who's giving in?"

He Zan's face flushed red with embarrassment, and he angrily said, "Heizi, shut up. Last time you spoke rudely, I didn't hold it against you because you were kind to my father, but that doesn't mean I will allow you to insult and slander me and Brother Gu again and again."

"What?" He snorted and challenged, "You want to beat me for him?"

He Zan was so provoked that he actually slapped him.

Heizi covered his cheek, which was hurt by the slap, with a look of disbelief on his face, "He Zan, you hit me for a cripple."

"What's wrong with being disabled? Disabled people are also human beings and deserve respect! Besides, Brother Gu wasn't born disabled. With proper treatment, he will get better one day." He Zan spoke righteously, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. "Heizi, if you keep saying such bad things, I will only hate you even more. Next time, I will not only slap you once!"

Lu Yaoyao didn't expect He Zan to have such courage to defend Gu Huai. From this point alone, she deserves Gu Huai more than herself.

Heizi was shocked by He Zan's harsh words and was speechless for a moment. He just widened his eyes, with anger and unwillingness intertwined on his face.

The surrounding fishermen also began to whisper, some accused Heizi of going too far, while others looked at He Zan and Gu Huai with sympathy.

Gu Huai couldn't see the person clearly, but from the voices he knew that He Zan had a conflict with others because of him.

He suddenly lost interest in taking a walk.

He said coldly, "Miss He, let's go back."

"You are not allowed to leave." Heizi suddenly reacted and grabbed Gu Huai's arm. "You dead cripple, you are already crippled, yet you still seduce people. Isn't it just relying on this handsome face? I will destroy it more thoroughly now, let's see if He Zan will still like you."

As he spoke, Heizi picked up a sharp piece of shell from the side and pretended to scratch Gu Huai's face with it.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao was shocked. Although she had been deliberately keeping a distance from Gu Huai, when she saw him in danger, she instinctively rushed forward, pushed Heizi away, and protected Gu Huai and He Zan behind her.

"Heizi, are you crazy? You want to hurt someone in public? Do you still have any respect for the law?"

Heizi stumbled a few steps after being pushed by Lu Yaoyao, and the shell fragments in his hand fell to the ground. He stared at Lu Yaoyao with wide eyes in disbelief, "Doctor Lu, you are actually helping this cripple?"

"I'm not only helping him, but also maintaining the peace and dignity of the fishing village. If you bully a patient like this and it gets out, how will the fishing village put its face?" Lu Yaoyao's tone was firm and her eyes were sharp, which made Heizi take a step back.

The surrounding fishermen also began to echo, accusing Heizi of excessive behavior, and some even suggested driving him out of the fishing village.

Heizi realized that he had angered everyone, his face turned pale, and he could only leave in disappointment.

After the crisis was resolved, Lu Yaoyao turned to look at Gu Huai and He Zan and said softly, "Let's go back. It's not advisable to go out today."

He Zan nodded palely, looking frightened.

She was almost scared to death just now. Fortunately, Miss Lu reacted quickly and scolded the black guy in time, otherwise who knows what the consequences would be.

Gu Huai was pushed back to his residence by He Zan.

He looked cold and no one knew what he was thinking.

After returning to the room, Lu Yaoyao and He Zan were about to leave when Gu Huai, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "Miss Lu, do you also think that I am a waste now and good for nothing?"

Lu Yaoyao shook her head and forced a smile, "How could that be? Your condition is only temporary. When you get better, you will be no less capable than any other man in this world."

"is it?"

Lu Yaoyao pursed her lips and said nothing more.

She couldn't say too much, and she couldn't let Gu Huai realize that she had special feelings for him, otherwise, with Gu Huai's intelligence, he would definitely guess her identity.
