Chapter 89: At First Glance, His Eyes Were Glued and Couldn't Look Away

As long as it could help them improve their medical skills, they didn't care if the person they were learning from was Gu Jianing, a young woman—or even a little child. As long as someone had real ability, they were willing to learn with humility.

So, in the training class, Gu Jianing's uniqueness was obvious.

And whenever there was an assessment, she always came in first.

The others in the same training class were certainly envious, but as for jealousy...

Heh. If Gu Jianing was only a little better than them, maybe they'd just be envious. But she was so much better—so much so that even the teachers sometimes consulted her and discussed problems with her. What was there left to be jealous of?

She was on a whole different level. The gap was so wide that jealousy was pointless.

It was like the difference between ordinary people and geniuses. No matter how hard ordinary people tried, they could never catch up to a true genius. So, what's the use of being jealous? There's no point.

Peng Wenjing was also in this training class.

When Gu Jianing first saw Peng Wenjing, knowing about her feelings for her husband, she thought Peng Wenjing might make things difficult for her or try to cause trouble.

But to her surprise, whenever Peng Wenjing saw her, she would go out of her way to avoid her. She wouldn't even speak to her, let alone provoke her.

Gu Jianing thought: Well, it seems this messy romantic rival doesn't need me to do anything about her after all.

Since Peng Wenjing didn't seek her out, Gu Jianing didn't bother with her either.

After all, she was here to attend the training and get her certificate.

What Gu Jianing didn't know was that ever since Peng Wenjing had witnessed the hospital director and doctors' respect for Gu Jianing, and then heard from Dr. Hao about Gu Jianing's generosity with the two prescriptions, she could no longer hold any hostility toward her.

At first, she thought Gu Jianing was a scheming country woman who had trapped Sheng Zexi and was otherwise useless.

That's why she felt so unwilling to accept it.

But after seeing Gu Jianing's abilities, and how well Sheng Zexi treated her—especially since she was so beautiful, perfect in every way—Peng Wenjing thought, if she were a man, she'd probably fall for her too, let alone Sheng Zexi.

And lately, Peng Wenjing felt that this woman was getting more beautiful by the day.

She was even curious how Gu Jianing managed to keep her skin so fair, smooth, and flawless. Her face was so pale it almost glowed, and she didn't even wear makeup—just natural beauty that was so captivating.

Not only that, her figure was amazing too.

One day, when the weather was a bit warmer, Peng Wenjing saw Gu Jianing take off her coat, revealing her figure underneath.

It was truly—full and curvy in front, a slender waist, and round, shapely hips.

Peng Wenjing was almost moved to tears with envy at the sight. And it wasn't just her—the other women in the class were all envious too.

And if you got close enough, Peng Wenjing could faintly catch a whiff of fragrance from Gu Jianing.

It wasn't strong, just a light, pleasant scent—intoxicating.

Even her voice was sweet and delicate, like an oriole, melodious and pleasant to hear.

Honestly, who wouldn't love such a perfect woman?

A woman with such ability, looks, and figure—ten Peng Wenjings couldn't compare.

So, Peng Wenjing completely gave up on Sheng Zexi. In fact, she even felt a bit envious of him for having such a perfect woman as Gu Jianing.

She admitted defeat.

No longer harboring feelings for Sheng Zexi, she finally agreed to start going on blind dates. After all, she wasn't getting any younger.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Peng Wenjing walked out of the classroom and saw that tall, handsome man coming through the heavy snow with an umbrella.

""Captain Sheng is here to pick up Comrade Gu again. He comes every day, never misses a single time.""

""So envious. My husband would never come pick me up.""

""They say Captain Sheng used to be a tough guy, but now even he has been tamed by Sister Jianing.""

""Honestly, the two of them together really are a perfect couple.""

Gu Jianing didn't hear the whispered comments of the others. She had already walked over to Sheng Zexi's side, sheltered under his umbrella, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

""Want to go to the hot springs?"" Sheng Zexi suggested.

Gu Jianing's eyes lit up instantly. ""Yes, I want to go!""

If there was one thing Gu Jianing looked forward to most in the winter, it was soaking in the hot springs.

It was just too cold—she couldn't bathe often, only manage a quick wipe-down.

But if she went to the hot springs, not only could she soak in the warmth, she could also bathe and wash her hair.

Every time she finished, she felt incredibly comfortable.

""Xige, let's hurry and go!""

""Alright.""

Although the mountains were usually blocked by snow, there were always a few days when the weather was better. Today was one of those days, so Sheng Zexi suggested taking Gu Jianing to the hot springs. He wouldn't have dared to otherwise, for fear she'd catch cold.

They pushed aside the rocks and entered the cave. Looking at the steaming hot spring ahead, Gu Jianing's delicate face was full of smiles.

Because of the steam, the temperature inside the cave wasn't too low.

As soon as they arrived, Gu Jianing couldn't wait to undress.

The first time they came here, they hadn't consummated their marriage yet, so things were a bit awkward and they even soaked in separate pools.

Sheng Zexi had kept his back to her the whole time.

But now...

They'd long since become a real married couple, and their nights were filled with marital harmony. The awkwardness and hesitation of before were gone.

So, the two of them entered the hot spring together.

As Gu Jianing slipped into the water, enveloped by the warmth, she felt completely relaxed and comfortable.

She even closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation.

Beside her, Sheng Zexi was also soaking, but most of his attention was on Gu Jianing.

He couldn't take his eyes off her, as if his gaze was glued to her.

Even though they were truly husband and wife now, their intimacy only happened at night.

And at night, even if there was light, it was just a kerosene lamp—sometimes not even that, just a sliver of moonlight through the window.

So Sheng Zexi had never really seen what his wife looked like under her clothes. He could feel it, sure, but that's not the same as seeing it with his own eyes.

Now, though, it was afternoon—the daylight streamed in through the opening above, lighting up the cave.

Sheng Zexi could clearly see his wife soaking in the hot spring.

Even through the swirling steam, with his excellent eyesight, he could see everything.

He couldn't help but think: If they have children in the future, not just one but even two at once, there would be no shortage of milk for them.

As Gu Jianing relaxed with her eyes closed, suddenly, she heard the sound of rapid breathing beside her."
