180 Zheng Huai Requests for Help
Shen Xi shook her head and said, “I don’t think so. Why would the police dress like someone’s bodyguard?”
Guan Lei broke out in a cold sweat as he wracked his brain for a plausible explanation. “Maybe they were people your brother sent? Didn’t the police say your brother called the police?”
Lu Lin’s people? Shen Xi doubted it. There was something afoot; she was sure of it. Someone had called the police and directed them to her.
With a pair of binoculars in hand, Zheng Huai peered into the observation room across, looking rather puzzled. A slew of people barged into the room, yet only two remained a short while after. Did the police take Guan Lei into custody?
Zheng Huai had been the one to call the police. His initial plan was to enter with them, but he decided against it. He did not want to upset Shen Xi.
His mother had stressed the importance of making a good impression on his younger cousin, so he would not do anything that would jeopardise his position.
Just then, he received a call. Answering his phone, Zheng Huai got a lecture from the police for filing a false report and warned him against any future misuse. The officer even said the two people within were patients and not some illicit couple.
Zheng Huai frowned. Had he misread the situation between Guan Lei and Shen Xi that badly?
Zheng Huai needed to know the truth, so he stood guard in the archives overlooking the observation room, determined to uncover what was going on between the two.

The next day, as Shen Xi was on her way to the observation room, someone suddenly grabbed her. Shen Xi was caught by surprise as whoever it was covered her mouth, dragging her into a deserted corridor leading up to her destination.
“Shush! I’m not going to hurt you. My name is Zheng Huai. I am Guan Lei’s attending physician. I believe we met through the video call the other day. If you promise not to scream, I’ll let go. Do we have a deal?” He asked.
Shen Xi slowly nodded after hearing Zheng Huai’s introduction. As soon as Zheng Huai released her, she distanced herself, still wary of him despite all he had said.
As she sized Zheng Huai up, calm eventually returned to her. She had seen him through Guan Lei’s video call with his father the other day.
“Doctor Zheng? Why are you here, and why did you accost me like that?” Shen Xi may have relaxed a little, but it was obvious she was still suspicious of Zheng Huai. Recognising Zheng Huai did not mean she was familiar with him; they were practically strangers.
“I’m the school’s new doctor,” Zheng Huai said, “I came to the school to help Guan Lei. However, Guan Lei hasn’t been cooperating. I’m afraid he’s delayed his treatment for too long, and I was hoping you would help me convince Guan Lei it is for the best.”
Shen Xi wondered why Guan Lei refused treatment from Dr Zheng. Guan Lei’s insomnia was so bad he had to hold her hand to sleep. How could he refuse help when help was being freely given?
“Why won’t Guan Lei cooperate with you?” Shen Xi asked.
Zheng Huai placed his hands on his hips and sighed, “Guan Lei doesn’t have faith in my equipment. He’s the stubborn sort. Once he has decided on something, it’s hard to change his mind. Mr Guan, your friend’s father, has been begging me to help his son, but I can’t because he won’t listen to me. I have no choice but to seek your help, Miss Shen.”
“How may I help you?” Shen Xi asked sincerely.
“Bring me in with you,” Zheng Huai whispered, “I’ll lie under your bed tonight. It’ll allow me to observe Guan Lei’s symptoms and address any strange behaviour he might exhibit.”
Guan Lei had held her hand the whole night as he slept. He did not experience any nightmares. Already, he looked better than he did the previous day with a good night’s worth of sleep.
However, sleeping next to him every night was not a feasible solution. Wouldn’t he build a dependence on her after a while?
They had their own lives to live, their partners to take. She could not always be by his side.
Perhaps with Zheng Huai’s help, Guan Lei would get better sooner rather than later. That way, she could return to sleeping in her dorm as usual.
