Shui Anluo gritted her teeth and cursed at him in her heart. So what if she had really not seen it all before? Had they not turned the lights out and crawled under the covers that one time?

However, she was the cause of his injured leg.

Therefore, Shui Anluo threw caution to the wind and turned around.

‘Ah?’

‘When did he put on his bathrobe?’

Chu Ningyi leaned against the wall with one arm as he stared at a dazed Shui Anluo. It seems that it had not been a bad idea to have her by his side. After all, a life that was too serious always requires some surprises.

“Why, is this unfortunate?” Chu Ningyi laughed calmly.

Shui Anluo smacked her face, she was feeling regretful!

However, she could not say it. If she had conceded to that, it would destroy her dignity.

“Hehe, how can that be?” Shui Anluo said and quickly helped him to his feet. “Didn’t the doctor say that you aren’t allowed to shower?” Shui Anluo frowned as she helped him out.

“I can’t sleep!” Chu Ningyi replied indifferently.

Shui Anluo internally viewed his germaphobia with disdain.

After Shui Anluo helped Chu Ningyi to bed, she bent down to examine his wet bandage. She then sighed and took a fresh splint and bandage before helping him to lie down properly on the bed.

“You should be glad. I had failed everything in school but I got full marks in bandaging.” Shui Anluo clicked her tongue as she spoke.

“Failed?” Chu Ningyi had only caught the front part but did not hear the second part of her sentence.

“Uh…” Shui Anluo’s mouth twitched. ‘Big brother, that wasn’t the point, alright?’

“Show me your report card for this semester later.” Chu Ningyi had never bothered about her studies. When they had been married, he seemed to recall that she was especially obedient close to the end of semester exams. She was probably afraid that he might check her grades. Unfortunately, he had never thought about that at all.

“You want to check my grades? It’s too late, you don’t have that right anymore.” Shui Anluo grinned. He only had one chance and he had refused it!

Chu Ningyi frowned. He grabbed the laptop on his bedside table and turned it on. His fingers tapped furiously on the keyboard as Shui Anluo re-splinted his leg. A short while later, his expression turned very dark.

“Shui Anluo, you’ve failed four out of five exams. Tell me, how could you have accomplished that?” Chu Ningyi’s chilly words carried a disdainfully icy dagger.

Shui Anluo immediately raised her head. “How did you know that?”

Chu Ningyi smacked the laptop shut. “Starting tomorrow, you’re not allowed to go to the hospital. If you fail one more subject in your fourth year, you won’t need to go anymore.”

“I was only behind on the subjects because I was pregnant, that’s not my fault.” Shui Anluo poked her neck out in retaliation. She refused to tell him that she had actually disliked those subjects.

Having a child was his issue so he could not hoist all the responsibility onto her either.

“Then study properly at home. If you can’t do it, I’ll hire someone to teach you.” Chu Ningyi frowned. This was for her own good and also for the good of her patients.

“I don’t want to!” Shui Anluo whined. Studying would take away her life. “Let me learn in the hospital. Must I master everything? Besides, you should bring Qiao Yaruan over. She’s the queen of studying. She good in her studies and I can learn from her.”

Once Shui Anluo said this, she suddenly felt very clever. Was this not her objective in coming to see him?

“Alright? Alright? If you don’t believe me, you can look at Qiao Yaruan’s grades. They’re all full marks.” Shui Anluo hurriedly added but accidentally touched his thigh.

‘Oh no…’

Shui Anluo dearly wished to strangle herself at the sight of the frown on Chu Ningyi’s face. She was too stupid!
