Chapter 32 — The Male Nurse is Online!

The hospital where President Yan had his eyes checked was the same hospital that Zhou Ziyi had visited before.

The couple took turns coming, which was quite enough.

However, this hospital is, after all, a hospital on the island. They are used to all kinds of illnesses caused by seawater. Drowning incidents happen frequently, and eye infections are even more common. As soon as Yan Xiuzhi took off his sunglasses at the hospital, the doctor immediately knew what was going on.

“An infection? Did you open your eyes in the sea?”

The doctor already had an idea in mind, but still calmly arranged for an examination. The final scientific examination results showed that Yan Xiuzhi’s eyes had slight signs of infection, conjunctivitis.

The doctor prescribed eye-washing solution, eye drops, and an ointment for external use, and that was it.

Zhou Ziyi was more serious than Yan Xiuzhi, and even asked the doctor for things to be aware of. The doctor didn’t think it was a big deal, but since the patient’s family was asking attentively, the doctor had to add a few more words: “Get more rest, use your phone and tablet less, wear goggles when swimming… If your eyes are sensitive to light, wear sunglasses.”
Only then was Zhou Ziyi satisfied, and he even wrote down the doctor’s advice on her phone one by one, leaving Yan Xiuzhi speechless for a while.

And the medicines prescribed by the doctor were also picked up by Zhou Ziyi.

Zhou Ziyi had originally wanted the doctor to demonstrate how to wash the eyes, but it didn’t work out, so he had to take the things back to the villa to study them again.

On the return journey, he even tapped away on his phone during the trip.

“Brother, it seems like you still need to be on a drip,” Zhou Ziyi turned to look at the man beside him. “If your condition doesn’t improve in a couple of days, we’ll go back to the country and see a doctor there, okay?”

President Yan, wearing sunglasses, didn’t even move his head: “Don’t waste time searching on those useless websites.”

“Why, are you afraid I’ll find a Puxin-style doctor to trick you?” Zhou Ziyi chuckled. “I wasn’t blindly searching, I was asking about your family doctor, okay?”

“Hmm?” Yan Xiuzhi didn’t understand at all. “What family doctor?” He didn’t even know he had a family doctor.

Hearing his confusion, Zhou Ziyi laughed, “Come on, President Yan, are you really that perplexed? The Yan’s and Chu’s, such prominent families, don’t have a personal doctor?”

“We do have a familiar private hospital, and if it’s not convenient to go out, we’ll ask the doctor to make a house call,” Yan Xiuzhi said. “But we don’t have the kind of personal doctor who’s on call like in movies or TV shows. My dad wanted to hire one before, but excellent general practitioners have high fees, and my mom didn’t agree. So, who are you asking about?”

“Wow, that sounds exactly like what I imagined your parents to be, hahaha!” Zhou Ziyi shook his phone. “I was asking about your community doctor.”

President Yan was even more confused, “…Who?”

“Ge, boss, CEO! Don’t you know that every community has a community hospital and corresponding community doctors?”
Zhou Ziyi chuckled, “Your community is for wealthy people, so there are relatively fewer doctors in charge. When I went out to investigate, I added the convenience information of the community hospital. If there’s any discomfort, you can consult them.”

Yan Xiuzhi hadn’t noticed this point: “So, this is what the community doctor told you?”

“Yes,” Zhou Ziyi said, “For minor illnesses like headaches, fever, and stomachaches, you can also go to the community hospital. Some vaccines can also be administered there…”

The CEO said, “Are you saying that when you fell last time, I called 120 unnecessarily?”

“No, I didn’t say that. Ge, you were just concerned about me. How could I say you were overreacting?” Zhou Ziyi blinked, “Besides, the community hospital is not open at night, so we still need to go to the hospital’s emergency department. President Yan’s decision is the most correct and wise!”

Yan Xiuzhi didn’t want to engage in that topic.

Back at the villa, Zhou Ziyi found a towel and sat on the sofa, placing the towel on her legs. He patted the spot next to him and said, “Ge, come here quickly!”

As soon as Yan Xiuzhi entered the door, he saw Zhou Ziyi bustling around: “What are you doing again?”

“Washing your eyes!” Zhou Ziyi waved the eye drops in his hand, “I’ve read the instructions thoroughly! Let me do it for you!”

Yan Xiuzhi said, “There’s no need. I can do it myself.”

“But won’t it be troublesome for you to do it yourself?” Zhou Ziyi said, “Give me a chance to show my ability, boss, please.”

Yan Xiuzhi still didn’t move.

Zhou Ziyi looked at him, “Ge, are you asking me to kneel and beg to you personally?”

Yan Xiuzhi still didn’t answer. Just as Zhou Ziyi was about to lift the bath towel and get up, Yan Xiuzhi finally walked towards him.

Still showing disdain, he said, “You really have too many things on your plate.”

“Ge, you saved my life, and I can’t find any way to repay you. I can only help you with what I can.” Zhou Ziyi smiled and re-laid the bath towel. “It’s just washing your eyes, you can think of me as a male nurse from the hospital, or your household servant, isn’t that okay?”

“I don’t like to bother people with trivial matters.” Yan Xiuzhi sat down beside the young man and said lightly, “How should I do it?”

Zhou Ziyi raised his hand and this time he directly took off the person’s sunglasses, then patted his own thigh, speaking in a very natural tone, “Of course, you should lie down!”

Yan Xiuzhi: “…”

To be honest, in Yan Xiuzhi’s memory, he had never even rested his head on his own mother’s knees.

Now Zhou Ziyi wanted him to lie on his lap, of course, Yan Xiuzhi felt a little uncomfortable. But the conversation had reached this point, and if Yan Xiuzhi didn’t lie down, he would feel a subtle sense of defeat.

With one breath, closing his eyes and steeling his heart, he went under.

The feeling of lying on his lap was… not much of a feeling.

There wasn’t much sensation through the bath towel and pants. He just felt less hard, less flat. However, after lying for a few seconds, Yan Xiuzhi still felt a kind of warmth – the warmth of human embrace.

“Ge, you have to open your eyes.”

Zhou Ziyi’s voice sounded above Yan Xiuzhi, and when Yan Xiuzhi opened his eyes, he met the young man’s smiling eyes.

“Hey, do I look super ugly from this angle?” Zhou Ziyi twisted the cap of the eye wash bottle, laughing, “They say this is the angle that girlfriends least want their boyfriends to see, hahaha!”

“…” President Yan didn’t know how to respond, so he changed the subject, “Can’t you open it again?”

“Huh?” Zhou Ziyi glanced at the eye wash in his hand, “You mean this?”

Yan Xiuzhi simply grabbed the bottle, unscrewed it, and handed it to him.

Zhou Ziyi: “Ge, I just didn’t unscrew it properly! I can unscrew it!”

Yan Xiuzhi: “It’s already opened.”

“How weak I am in your impression!” Zhou Ziyi said helplessly, “Well, it’s already opened anyway. Keep your eyes open, I will wash them for you now.”

As he spoke, Zhou Ziyi poured eye wash into a small cup, then aimed it at Yan Xiuzhi’s eyes and poured it in, over and over again. Not only did he wash them, but he also wiped them over and over again. Bit by bit, like dabbing at a water droplet, it seemed as if he was treating the man on his lap as if he were fragile porcelain.

Despite Zhou Ziyi’s gentle movements, Yan Xiuzhi felt increasingly restless, his whole body stiffened. He pinched his fingers, suppressing the urge to leap up, and urged, “Could you be a bit quicker?”

“You keep blinking, I’m afraid it’s not getting in,” Zhou Ziyi had to press against his eyes, getting even closer, “Ge, hold on for a few more seconds! One more round to go!”

The young man’s eyes, against the light, became a little deeper, and Yan Xiuzhi could clearly see his own reflection in the other’s pupils. He even felt the other person’s breath lingering on his face, gently and itching.

President Yan uncomfortably turned his eyes away, and Zhou Ziyi joked, “Sir, don’t roll your eyes, and pay attention to your expression!”

Yan Xiuzhi couldn’t take it anymore: “Shut up!”

After much persuasion, they finally made it through the last round. But Yan Xiuzhi still couldn’t move, because Zhou Ziyi was pressing him down: “Now, I’ll put in the eye drops!”

Yan Xiuzhi said, “I can do this myself.”

Zhou Ziyi said, “Well, since I’m here, you might as well just stay put.”

Yan Xiuzhi: “……”

So after putting in the eye drops, he had to lie down for a while to prevent the medicine from coming out too quickly. After that, he had to apply ointment. Before applying it, Zhou Ziyi sniffed a little and tried to dab a little on the corner of Yan Xiuzhi’s eye: “…… Does it sting?”

Yan Xiuzhi felt that every step was so meticulous: “…… It’s okay, no problem, you can continue.”

Zhou Ziyi carefully applied the ointment for him, and finally put his hands away.
“Alright! Mission accomplished!”

Yan Xiuzhi got up all at once.

This strange feeling, it’s really something.

Seeing him get up and walk away so quickly, as if avoiding something dirty, Zhou Ziyi couldn’t help but laugh: “Mr. Yan, do I have thorns on me or something? Is it necessary to run so fast?”

Yan Xiuzhi glanced at him: “You have too many quirks.”

“I call it being meticulous, okay?”
Zhou Ziyi spun his sunglasses, “At home… um, I mean, indoors, is it too bright? If it’s not too bright, then there’s no need to wear sunglasses, right?”

Yan Xiuzhi: “…… Okay.”

Originally, he wore sunglasses in the morning to cover his red eyes and avoid being seen by Zhou Ziyi. However, he didn’t expect that this guy would notice something was wrong as soon as they met. When he tried to avoid him, he set a trap to take off his glasses, forcefully took him to the hospital, and applied medication by force… In short, to describe it in one word, it was quite a “hassle.”

Of course, it’s not a bad thing.

Zhou Ziyi’s “hassle” didn’t end there: “Ge, three times a day! It’s uncomfortable with eye drops, but you have to use them!”

“!” Yan Xiuzhi really didn’t want to go through it again, so he immediately turned back, “Give it to me, I’ll do it myself.”

“No, I won’t!” Zhou Ziyi quickly packed up the stuff and hugged it to himself, “I’ll take care of this! Boss, don’t steal my job, I don’t want to be unemployed!”

Yan Xiuzhi: “…”

“I’m helping you, Ge.”
Zhou Ziyi blinked and acted cute, “I don’t have anything else to do anyway, so I’ll help you with the medication schedule. Otherwise, when you get immersed in work… Oh no, you can’t use your phone and computer too much now. Will it affect your work?”

“It won’t.” Yan Xiuzhi hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to resist, “I can schedule it myself, and don’t you like to go out and have fun? There’s no need to keep following me.”

Zhou Ziyi lied with his eyes wide open: “I’m afraid of water! I’m scared! I want to stay with my savior!”

Yan Xiuzhi: “…”

Zhou Ziyi saw that he was still standing there and thought he hadn’t given up yet, so he held the medicine and said, “Ge, do you really have to wait for me to write an 800-word essay to fully explain my desire to help you with the medication before you’re willing to give me this job?”

President Yan was speechless.

“… Whatever.”

After the CEO finished speaking, he turned and walked away.

Zhou Ziyi still shouted from behind, “Ge, what are we having for lunch? Can I eat fish now?”

“… Whatever!”
