Chapter 707: Familiar People

Mu Xiaoyu shook her head and looked away. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I feel like I've seen that nurse somewhere before."

After saying that, she grabbed Li Chenxu's hand and asked him, "Did you see what that nurse looked like?"

"No."

Li Chenxu immediately denied it. He wasn't interested in other women, and if someone didn't notice anything amiss, he generally wouldn't even glance at them. Besides, the nurse and Mu Xiaoyu were standing close together, so it was impossible for Li Chenxu, a man, to interfere.

He didn't get a good look at the head nurse.

Mu Xiaoyu fell silent upon hearing this. Although her memory wasn't exactly excellent, it wasn't bad either.

The nurse's features were so familiar; she was certain she had seen her before.

However, if they had really met, the other person shouldn't forget her. Moreover, the other person's attitude clearly showed that they were avoiding her as if they were afraid of her.

Could it be that they do know each other, but don't get along?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Mu Xiaoyu immediately dismissed it.

Among the people she knew, there were only a few she didn't get along with. She knew those people very well; they were definitely not the nurse from earlier.

For a moment, Mu Xiaoyu fell into deep thought.

"Don't think about it. It's probably someone you bumped into by chance before, but you didn't actually have any interaction with them."

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's absent-mindedness, Li Chenxu tried to comfort her. He had noticed a problem: ever since Mu Xiaoyu had experienced more, she had become more prone to overthinking.

Just like that nurse from earlier, in Li Chenxu's opinion, there was absolutely no need to overthink it.

Mu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Li Chenxu and muttered, "I just think he looks familiar, but I'm not allowed to think about it."

"That's not what I meant, I just think it's unnecessary. But if you think there's a problem, I'll have someone investigate it later."

"No need, I just thought they looked familiar. As for anything else, I didn't think much of it. Anyway, like you said, maybe it's just someone I've run into by chance, someone I don't really have any connection with."

Li Chenxu agreed, so he nodded and didn't think about it any further.

The two went directly to the small garden area, as it was a specialized maternity and children's hospital, and the facilities there were primarily for pregnant women. The activity center also had instructors teaching them exercises like yoga, which were very practical for people like Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu hasn't moved much these past few days, so in order to let her gradually adapt, Li Chenxu didn't let her exercise for too long today.

Even so, she was so exhausted that she could barely speak a complete sentence.

"I can't go on anymore. Let's rest here for a while before we go back."

Li Chenxu was somewhat worried. In his opinion, Mu Xiaoyu's amount of exercise today was very little. However, even with such a small amount of exercise, Mu Xiaoyu was so tired, which clearly indicated that her physical condition was not good.

"Just do this little bit of exercise for the next few days, but you need to increase the intensity later, your physical condition is too poor."

"More?"

Mu Xiaoyu was on the verge of tears; she hadn't felt this tired in a long time. Even giving birth didn't feel this exhausting.

Li Chenxu sighed helplessly, but still kindly advised her, "Exercising more will be good for your health. When you have more time to exercise in the future, you won't feel as tired as you do now."

"Of course I know, but I just feel tired right now."

Mu Xiaoyu muttered to herself, and as she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned to Li Chenxu, a sly glint in them.

She chuckled twice at Li Chenxu, then reached out her hand to him: "I'm really tired today, my body is so sore and tired, can you carry me upstairs?"

Her tone was somewhat coquettish, sounding almost like she was being affectionate.

Li Chenxu stared at Mu Xiaoyu, who was pouting slightly, in front of him, somewhat dazed.

He felt that it had been a long time since he had seen Mu Xiaoyu like this, a long time since he had seen Mu Xiaoyu act coquettishly towards him.

"What? You don't want to carry me?"

Mu Xiaoyu stretched out her hand for a long time, but Li Chenxu didn't make any move. She thought he wasn't going to bite, and she became a little dissatisfied.

Just as she was about to lower her hand, she saw Li Chenxu squat down in front of her with his back to her. At the same time, he said with a tone full of doting affection, "How could I not want to carry you? I just didn't realize it at the time. Because... it's been a long time since you've spoken to me like this."

The nostalgic tone almost made Mu Xiaoyu chicken out and pull her hand back. If Li Chenxu hadn't said it now, she wouldn't have even realized it herself.

Li Chenxu was right; she hadn't acted coquettishly towards him in a long time.

That's true. No matter which woman it is, once she feels a distance from the person she likes, she's unlikely to be able to act coquettishly.

Especially for someone like Mu Xiaoyu, who isn't particularly good at acting cute.

Once a woman truly acts coquettishly towards a man, that man must hold a special place in her heart.

Thinking about this, Mu Xiaoyu's mood suddenly became complicated.

Looking at Li Chenxu's broad back in front of her, Mu Xiaoyu was slightly lost in thought.

She wasn't even aware of her own coquettishness just now. Now that she thinks about it, those words really did slip out unconsciously.

Could it be that she has already forgiven Li Chenxu in her heart?

Did she subconsciously still hope to be with Li Chenxu?

Various thoughts kept popping into her mind at this moment, so much so that Mu Xiaoyu began to lose focus and completely forgot that Li Chenxu was still half-squatting in front of her.

Li Chenxu waited for a while but didn't feel Mu Xiaoyu lying on his back. He thought she was angry, so he quickly turned around and saw Mu Xiaoyu staring at his back in a daze.

He paused, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with some surprise, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Or are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I was just thinking about some things."

Mu Xiaoyu quickly came to her senses. She clearly didn't want to say anything more, and immediately leaned on Li Chenxu's back: "Let's go, I'm tired. I want to go see An'an and then go back to sleep."

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk more, Li Chenxu did not press her. He gently hummed in agreement, picked her up, and walked towards An'an.

When they arrived, the nurses were changing shifts. Upon seeing the two of them, they immediately greeted them warmly.

“An’an was very lively during the day, but she just fell asleep. It would have been better if Mrs. Li and you had come earlier.”
