After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 256 - 181: Good Morning, Baby

Time really doesn’t make sense sometimes.

Once you were just a child—

And now?!

"Where’s your face?!" Ms. Ning was frustrated enough to want to hit him with a pointer.

Unfortunately, the conditions here and now didn’t allow for it.

"Right here!" Mr. Shi cooperatively brought his strikingly handsome face close to her.

In the night, his ink-painting-like eyebrows and eyes flowed with infinite gentleness.

...

USTC, faculty dormitory.

"It’s already eleven o’clock." Ning Youguang sat on the sofa, urging the person rocking back and forth on the recliner opposite her.

Shi Wangyue lay there with arms crossed like an old man, showing no intention of moving, and he nonsensically said, "Listen to the sound of the raindrops hitting the window."

"?" Ning Youguang had a face full of questions.

Shi Wangyue on the recliner turned his head, looking at her with a deep gaze, "Sister, do you know? Ever since dad died, I’ve hated rainy days."

In the deep night, his slow, low voice overflowed with melancholy and sadness.

Ning Youguang fell silent.

Shi Wangyue continued to look at her sorrowfully and said, "But, tonight by your side, I seem to once again enjoy the serenity of a rainy day you talked about."

"The sky is still this rainy sky, the world is still this dark world, but with you by my side, everything feels different."

"I really don’t want to go back to where I live alone on a rainy night like this..." His sorrowful tone lingered.

Ning Youguang faintly suspected that the person lying in front of her might be a schemer at this moment.

But still... she softened.

...

The sound of water came from the bathroom, and Shi Wangyue’s heartbeat overshadowed the sound of the water.

When Ning Youguang came out of the bathroom, clad in a very conservative silk pajama set resembling a shirt and long pants, with her hair wet and wrapped, carrying an aura of moisture.

He suppressed his inner agitation, and lying on the recliner, he gently asked, "Sister, may I help you dry your hair?"

Ning Youguang thought for a second and nodded.

Shi Wangyue quickly got up, took the hairdryer from the bathroom, and returned to the room.

This wasn’t the first time Ning Youguang had someone else dry her hair.

After all, the barbers at the salon may vary in their haircutting and styling skills, but their shampoo skills are generally somewhere reliable.

However, when Shi Wangyue dried her hair, the sensation he brought was an enjoyment no high-end hairdresser could offer.

Of course, his skills in drying hair weren’t particularly remarkable, but his movements were gentle enough to make her feel as if her hair was being cradled in his hands.

It took quite a long time.

After putting down the hairdryer,

Shi Wangyue gently picked up a comb to smooth out Ning Youguang’s hair.

At the same time, he tentatively asked, "Sister, do you mind if I use your bathroom?"

Ning Youguang thought to herself, "You sly fox, you’ve already managed to stay over for the night, how can I not let you bathe in this hot weather?"

She calmly replied, "I don’t mind."

Then, being considerate, she added, "Shall I order some clothes for you online? There’s one-hour courier delivery service."

Shi Wangyue chuckled softly, "Okay."

That night, the city’s courier delivery was still quite efficient.

By the stroke of midnight,

The pajamas Ms. Ning bought for Mr. Shi were promptly delivered to her dormitory.

But... in the end, Shi Wangyue still slept on Ms. Ning’s sofa wearing the bathrobe for the entire night.

Because—

Both Ms. Ning and Mr. Shi were a bit of neat freaks.

The new clothes, having not been washed, really couldn’t (let him) put them on.

...

The next morning.

Ning Youguang woke, opened her eyes, and turned to look at the sofa not far away.

The bright light of dawn shone through the window, falling on Shi Wangyue.

He was so exceptionally handsome that the scene appeared warm and healing, just with his legs hanging off the sofa, looking somewhat pitiful.

As she watched him absentmindedly, the person being stared at slowly awoke.

In such an unexpected moment, their eyes met.

In the morning sunlight, his gaze was too bright, carrying a captivating allure, "Good morning, sweetheart."

His voice was low, words imbued with intimacy.

Ning Youguang once again experienced a tingling sensation on her scalp.

She quickly pulled the blanket over her head, speaking in a muffled voice, "Morning."

Shi Wangyue chuckled softly as he got up, uncovering the thin blanket draped over him.

A good night’s sleep—he rose with the bathrobe loosely draped, revealing a broad chest, utterly alluring.

Yet, Ms. Ning had unwittingly and foresightedly hidden under the blanket, not seeing this great scene of male allure.

Shi Wangyue knew she was feeling shy, so he didn’t try to pull off her blanket but lazily asked while sitting on the sofa, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Ning Youguang lay under the blanket, calming herself for three minutes, then uncovered herself, "Let’s go to the cafeteria."

She prepared to get up.

At that moment, Shi Wangyue stood, took a few steps to her bedside, and lightly pressed her down on the bed.

Correction—

He gently tucked her in with the blanket again, "It’s still early, it’s the weekend today, why don’t you sleep a bit more, and I’ll make breakfast for you."

...

Ning Youguang was actually less diligent than Shi Wangyue.

As a kid, she knew children needed lots of sleep, so she was good, going to bed and rising early unwaveringly each day.

Growing up, her self-discipline wasn’t as strong as when she was a child.

On weekdays, she’d manage to maintain a good routine of early bedtimes and early risings.

On weekends, she wouldn’t stay up late, but she’d usually sleep until she naturally woke.

It was just past six now, clearly not a time she’d normally wake on a weekend.

Shi Wangyue was very familiar with her daily routine, which is why his current actions were as they were.

Ning Youguang, wrapped snugly under her blanket, felt very comfortable, and decided to lie back and relax. She said, "Why do you want to cook breakfast? You can take my meal card to our cafeteria."

Shi Wangyue chuckled softly, "Are you sure you want the entire school to know I spent the night here?"

It’s September now, and USTC had already started classes.

Even on a weekend morning, the school cafeteria sees a lot of diners.

It’s true Shi Wangyue was a new face at USTC, but since his appearance once outside Ms. Ning’s classroom when he returned to the country, followed by a few sightings at the USTC faculty dormitory, linked with Ms. Ning’s admirable reputation at the school, many at USTC had a vivid memory of him.

If he appeared at the USTC cafeteria this morning, he was bound to be recognized, which could stir quite a ruckus concerning Ms. Ning within the school.

Of course, he was quite happy at the prospect, but Ms. Ning—

Ms. Ning swiftly buried her head back under the blanket, "You do it, you do it. Take care of the ingredients in the fridge."

Shi Wangyue chuckled for quite a while.

...

The room was bright and clean,

The air was filled with the aroma of food from the small kitchen, and Ning Youguang never really managed to fall back asleep. 1314
