After understanding the language of animals, I quit the entertainment circle and started working for

Chapter 259 How long has it been since you rested?
"Why is it so serious?"

"doctor!"

……

All sorts of noisy shouts, arguments, and friction sounds flooded my mind.

In an instant, my head throbbed as if it were about to explode.

"very noisy!"

Lin Xiao frowned, her pale face looking extremely uneasy.

The soft murmur mingled with the surrounding noise and immediately drew everyone's attention.

Lu Chengshen was originally standing at the foot of the bed communicating with the doctor.

Caught off guard by the faint sound, Lu Chengshen stopped speaking abruptly and quickly turned to walk to the bedside.

He stared intently at the person on the hospital bed, his voice filled with urgency.

"Lin Xiao? Lin Xiao? Are you awake?"

With a soft gasp, the person lying on the bed finally slowly opened their eyes.

Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, Lin Xiao frowned in confusion.

"Lu Bu? What are you doing here..."

The voice that came out was dry and hoarse, which startled Lin Xiao.

Only at this moment did his confused mind finally regain its clarity.

She turned her head and glanced around at the pristine white hospital rooms, only to realize that she wasn't in her hotel room at all.

"Lu Bu, where is this..."

"Don't you remember? We had arranged to visit the baby dolphin that was taken to the research institute at a certain time, but you never showed up."

"No one answered the phone. We were worried that something had happened to you, so we rushed to the hotel."

"Fortunately, we arrived in time. The doctor said that if your fever had continued, something serious might have happened."

As Lu Chengshen gave his detailed account, the doctor standing at the foot of the bed smiled gently.

"Good that you're awake! You finally got a good night's sleep, right?"

"You young people are working too hard. You should pay attention to your health. You can't work day and night."

"You'll have to be more careful next time!"

After speaking about the person on the hospital bed, the doctor immediately turned his gun on the man sitting beside the bed.

"You too, she works day and night, don't you know how to offer her some advice?"

"I really don't know how you young people date these days?"

fall in love?
Lin Xiao's dark eyes widened, and she suddenly raised her little head.

This……

Before Lin Xiao could ask any questions, Lu Chengshen had already stood up with a forced smile.

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time. Thank you so much for your help today."

Watching the man see the doctor off, Lin Xiao lowered her eyes, and her right hand on the hospital bed involuntarily clenched into a fist.

Until a glass half-filled with water was handed to me.

The clear water sloshed gently, its surface rising and falling along the rim of the glass, occasionally leaving tiny specks on the glass's surface before gathering back up and being swallowed by the water inside.

Outside the glass, the man's hand, with its distinct knuckles, appeared exceptionally long and handsome.

Seeing that the person on the hospital bed had not responded for a long time, Lu Chengshen couldn't help but move the cup forward again.

"You just recovered from an illness, and the doctor told you to drink plenty of water."

Lin Xiao reluctantly said "Oh," before accepting the water cup offered by her supervisor.

The cool, soothing water flowed gently over her dry throat. Holding the water glass with both hands, Lin Xiao suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

"Minister Lu, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been delayed for so long."

His attitude was extremely sincere.

Looking at the patient before him, whose entire body was filled with guilt, Lu Chengshen remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

However, this time when he spoke, he didn't mention work at all. Instead, he asked, "Lin Xiao, how long has it been since you've had a proper rest?"

Lin Xiao's eyes widened slightly, and she froze completely. "But, we're not..."

Lu Chengshen interrupted her directly, his expression indescribable.

“Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about the time recently since you came out of the Xihai Zoo.”

"I……"

Lin Xiao kept her head down. I felt a little awkward as I kept pinching the blanket covering me. I opened my mouth, but in the end, I didn't say a word.

Lu Chengshen's expression was extremely serious.

“I know you’re anxious, and you know those lives are very important, but you should also know that you are now the focus of all of our attention and protection.”

"Your fever is so high this time because you haven't had much rest recently."

"But back then, if those people hadn't come..."

Lin Xiao pursed her lips and couldn't help but retort.

Lu Chengshen's eyes showed even more helplessness.

"I know these things are very urgent, but before all that, can you make sure you get some rest?"

"And only when you can guarantee your own safety can you better help them."

"I know!" Lin Xiao replied softly with her head down, but her lowered eyes concealed all her emotions.

Seeing her head bowed and silent, Lu Chengshen could only sigh and make a decision immediately.

"Now that things in Yunnan Province are settled, I'm giving you five days of sick leave. You should get some rest."

Even after Lu Chengshen hurriedly left the hospital ward, Lin Xiao was still thinking about what Lu Chengshen had just said.

rest?

She turned to look at the azure sky outside the window and slowly exhaled.

In the past, her life consisted of nothing but work; even in her previous life, she was the most diligent staff member in their research institute.

But now that someone has suddenly mentioned the word "rest," she feels a little lost for a moment.

It just just wouldn't stop...

Fortunately, Lin Xiao's inner turmoil didn't last long.

With a loud bang, Lin Xiao looked up sharply at the entrance of Wanxiang and saw Feng Cheng carrying a full load in both hands, pushing the ward door open with her buttocks.

Then he turned around and walked in, carrying his things.

As they walked inside, they couldn't help but wail loudly.

"I'm exhausted! I'm so tired!"

Lin Xiao sat up straight, staring dumbfounded at what Feng Cheng was holding.

Why did you buy so much stuff?

"Not much, not much! I've come all this way, so I should buy some local specialties, right?"

As he spoke, he pulled two cut stones from his pocket with a complaining expression.

"It's a pity we didn't get anything!"

Lin Xiao looked at her mournful expression, his lips twitching, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Is this thing considered a local specialty now?

However, Feng Cheng still seemed unwilling to give up. She turned around, pounced on the bedside, and hugged Lin Xiao's arm and shook it in a coquettish manner.

"Sister Xiao, I heard from Director Lu that you're going to have a few days off soon, right? So, can we...?"

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, and she raised her right hand to pat Feng Cheng's forehead, firmly refusing.

"No! Gambling, prostitution, and drugs are prohibited, do you understand?"

"I just bought a few stones casually."

"That's not OK!"

Lin Xiao looked speechless and steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Has the research center released the test results for the baby dolphin?"

"How is the little one's health? Has he been affected by those medications?"
