Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 590 - 591: She came to see her elder brother
Min Xin’s heart pounded with anticipation as he stared at the door. Indeed, it was Zhou Yu. He recognized that light green dress; he had given it to her. Now she was wearing it... coming to see him. This meant he was still in her heart.
Min Xin swallowed hard. In that moment, he even forgot that she and King Jingyao had a child. All he desired was to see her, even if they had only met yesterday or the day before. He eagerly watched the door, but that wisp of mint green floated past, heading towards the hospital room opposite his. Min Xin was stunned. Then, it hit him: Zhou Yu and King Jingyao were together now. They even... even had a child. Of course, she was here to see King Jingyao.
Gu Anxi tilted her head towards Min Xin, a smile playing on her lips as she said, "Ex-brother-in-law, seeing that stings a bit, doesn’t it? When Zhou was your wife, you didn’t cherish her. It was bad enough that you were out carousing and womanizing, but you also prevented her from having children. A woman only has so many years of youth. She’s 40 now, not a young girl anymore. If a good man loves her and is willing to take good care of her, naturally she’d want to bear his children. Besides, my old brother is handsome, respectable, high-status, and has plenty of money. Your ’little fairy’ certainly isn’t losing out by being with him!"
With that, she lightly patted Min Xin’s arm. "You should be happy about this," she said, as if comforting him.
Min Xin, who had been feeling somewhat melancholic, now shot her a sideways glance. "Happy? What do you think I have to be happy about? Even though we’re divorced, I could have supported her for the rest of her life. She wouldn’t have had a bad life."
Gu Anxi blinked. "But she would also get lonely. She’d need companionship. She’d want a husband and children! For all these years, you deprived her of what she should have had. And now you think that even after a divorce, she should remain chaste for you? You’re dreaming!"
Min Xin hadn’t thought *exactly* that, but he had secretly entertained the idea. He’d also assumed someone like Zhou Yu wouldn’t easily accept another man; after all, not many were worthy of her. But he just hadn’t expected King Jingyao to *actually* take ’letting bygones be bygones’ so seriously!
At this moment, Min Xin was truly furious and frustrated, utterly at a loss. It felt as if the sky were falling.
Gu Anxi sighed. "Alas, alright, alright. Time for the surgery now."
She kindly asked again, "So, are we going with general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or should we just see if you can tough it out with a minimal dose?"
Min Xin gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the activity in the room opposite. "Use as little anesthesia as possible. I can take it."
"As long as you can take it. But please, don’t push yourself too hard, alright?" Dr. Gu said with a beaming smile.
Min Xin gave her a cold look. "I won’t."
The consequence of ’not pushing himself’ was a sweat-drenched bedsheet. It really, really hurt... Min Xin glared daggers at Gu Anxi.
Gu Anxi performed the surgery with cool detachment, her voice faint. "You can glare at me all day; I can’t feel the pain for you."
"Impulsiveness is the devil!" She paused, then added, "You’re not young anymore. You should learn to behave."
Min Xin still looked as if he wanted to devour her. Gu Anxi remained as impassive as a robot. Just then, Fengxi emitted a series of beeps. "Dr. Gu, the patient’s anger level has reached its maximum. The patient is at risk of dying during surgery at any moment... BEEP, BEEP, BEEP..."
Min Xin, of course, heard it too. He closed his eyes. "What in the blazes is this infernal contraption?"
He didn’t want to die. Stay calm, stay calm.
