Tao Yu agreed and removed everything from her waist, leaning against the wall while waiting for him to prepare the medicine. Soon, seeing him approach with the syringe, Tao Yu’s face scrunched up. “Why is there so much?” The injection needed to be pushed in slowly, and with this much, it might take until tomorrow.
“A real man shouldn’t be afraid of a shot. Lie down,” Zhou Ying said, laughing at her expression. Ever since he met Officer Tao yesterday, he found her very approachable. Now, seeing her childlike side, he felt like she was a little brother.
Tao Yu sighed. “I’m just saying, I’m not refusing.” With that, she obediently lay down and lifted her shirt to expose her lower back.
“Officer Tao, you’re so thin! You’re like a girl!” Zhou Ying exclaimed. “Thinner than my girlfriend.”
Tao Yu scoffed. “If your girlfriend hears that, she might kill you.”
“My girlfriend wouldn’t. She’s so well-behaved,” Zhou Ying boasted about his girlfriend. “We’ve never fought. No matter what I say, she never gets angry, and neither do I.”
Tao Yu laughed. “So you two are quite loving?”
“Yes, even though we met through a blind date, we’ve always gotten along well… Just talking about her makes me miss her. I’ll call her later.” Zhou Ying said dreamily.
Tao Yu’s mouth twitched. “Please focus on giving me the shot and not think about other things.”
“Sorry, I couldn’t help it,” Zhou Ying laughed, walking over with an alcohol swab to clean her skin. He couldn’t help but admire, “Officer Tao, your skin is so good. I almost feel embarrassed, like I’m looking at a girl.”
……”Promise me, keep your mouth shut,” Tao Yu’s voice had just fallen when he jabbed the needle into her, without any hint of embarrassment. Tao Yu’s body tensed momentarily, and she said helplessly, “Can’t you give me a heads up?”
Zhou Ying smiled, “Sorry, Officer Tao. Please relax a bit.”
“…” Tao Yu rolled her eyes and finally tried to relax, and casually said to divert attention, “Although I know muscle relaxation makes injection easier and helps patients suffer less, don’t you think it’s a bit perverse to ask someone to endure pain while simultaneously telling them to relax?”
