Doctor Gu's eyes moved to Guiying with the same unhurried ease. He looked at him for a moment, the particular assessing look of a doctor taking in a patient without making it feel clinical, and then he smiled, easy and genuine.
"Sit down," he said, gesturing at the chair across the desk. "Both of you, if you want. Or just him." He glanced at Liuxian. "You can stand in the corner looking intimidating if you prefer. You are good at that."
"I will sit," Liuxian said flatly.
Doctor Gu looked entirely unbothered and turned his attention to Guiying. "So. Little Xian dragged you here without much warning I assume?"
Guiying glanced at Liuxian.
"Something like that," he said.
Doctor Gu picked up his pen. "Pheromone charts, heat recovery checkup. Anything else I should know about before we start?"
Guiying looked at him.
