Chapter 1651: Chapter 1076: Heroine of the Republic 50 (4000+)_2

An Yi shrugged indifferently: "I’m not doing this for free. When you have the means in the future, you’d better clear the medical costs and these days’ meal expenses for me. After all, you’re not the same as those I’ve raised. Your various suspicions and defenses make me a bit uncomfortable. Although it’s your conditioned response, it’s still uncomfortable. So what should I do?"

The man hadn’t expected to hear about settling accounts later, but he had no way to refute what she said, so he nodded dryly: "Okay."

"I haven’t asked you yet, what’s your name? I can’t just call you ’hey’, right?"

"Gu Cheng. ’Gu’ is from ’past and present’, ’Cheng’ as ’shèng’ means bright and blazing, just like..."

"Oh, I know, it’s ’sun’ on top and ’to become’ below, right? It’s a good name, Gu Cheng, your surname isn’t very common."

Gu Cheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, said nothing, and quietly took spoonfuls of soup, sipping it gently. Seeing this, An Yi did not disturb him.

"Eat slowly, just put it on the table when you’re done. It’s best to lie flat. If you need to go, uh, there’s a crutch and a bucket over there, so you can manage yourself. We’re all women, it’s inconvenient."

Before she finished speaking, An Yi felt her scalp tingle under Gu Cheng’s gaze, "When you operated on me..."

An Yi felt a tightening in her heart and hastened to explain: "Doctors have the heart of parents. To me, there’s only patients on the operating table, no gender."

Gu Cheng stared at her emotionlessly, seeming to suggest, how is there a gender difference now?

"I’m beside you, can you pee?"

Right after saying this, she regretted it as the man’s gaze was like daggers towards her, frightening An Yi into a panicked retreat.

Gu Cheng’s face turned a bit unpleasant due to this episode. Would anyone feel happy being stripped naked without reason?

Especially by such... an ugly woman.

He considered himself to be decent-looking. Even now that he’s down on his luck, he maintains basic aesthetics. As for An Yi’s appearance...

At that moment, even Gu Cheng himself didn’t realize that the spontaneous disgust and disdain from the depths of his heart made him appear gloomy.

An Yi didn’t know that the person she painstakingly retrieved from the brink of death had changed his entire aura upon realizing he was seen naked by her.

Suddenly having a man at home, even laughter became subdued, staying inside the house and definitely not going outside, for fear of disturbing the patient.

But An Yi thought it unnecessary: "He’s the one clinging onto our home and not leaving. Why be so polite to him? Just do what needs to be done."

Every day she cleaned after him but couldn’t get a single friendly face. Sensitive An Yi noticed the man’s deep-seated disgust and disdain towards her.

She wasn’t stupid, how could she not tell this person genuinely despised her face?

Ha, it was laughable. Anna and her sister, her daughters, including An Hu her eldest son, never criticized her looks, yet this outsider didn’t even bother to look at her while speaking. The disdain in his eyes and impatient tone was truly surprising because the emotions he showed weren’t what an underground worker should have.

So she automatically rationalized that he was twisted inside from years of unjust treatment and abuse, and decided not to stoop to his level, waiting for him to heal and leave with money.

But given his shabby attire, she had grounds to doubt whether he even had money?

Living in this awkward manner was acceptable, treating it as finding herself a nursing job.

As they say, healing bones takes a hundred days. Judging by his situation, it would at least be until spring next year since Gu Cheng said—

"I have no home or kin, no money at the moment, figure it out."

What does that mean? Figure what out? How should she figure it out?

When she stared trying to express dissatisfaction, he casually replied.

"If I had just died, it would be that, but now you’ve saved me, and I have no money. Why don’t you throw me out again?"

Great, this person is shamelessly planning to freeload a meal here!

He’s banking on her having a doctor’s compassion, knowing she couldn’t possibly throw him out, and is taking advantage of it?

Though occasionally showing a rogue demeanor, it quite reminded of his past charisma.

She had no choice now, he was saved, she had to nurse him back to health, or else whom would she ask for interest?
