This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

The first peak of morning visits had just passed, but the hospital corridors were still bustling with people. The smell of disinfectant mixed with the whispers of family members and the call bells at the nurses' station, creating a busy scene.

Yu Chenzhou walked into the inpatient building and glanced at the doctors' schedule. As expected, he did not see Su Qinghuan's name.

Even if she were standing right in front of him, he was determined to take a detour.

Even if the other person is his girlfriend in name only, and even if she is very beautiful, he must keep his distance.

As someone deeply influenced by the internet, Yu Chenzhou had already figured out the "survival rules" of the original work:

As we all know, never try to save a "brainless" person who is bound to the plot, and never have any unrealistic expectations of them. The best way to protect yourself is to stay away from them.

This kind of "brain-dead" constitution is like a stubborn virus. It will first "infect" you with seemingly harmless closeness, and then use a series of fallacies to brainwash you and lower your cognitive bottom line.

Finally, their extensive experience in causing trouble will completely ruin you, turning you into a "brainless" person just like them.

After taking a deep breath to suppress his distracting thoughts, Yu Chenzhou went straight to the operating room on the third floor.

While changing into his surgical gown, he was still thinking that since he had just taken over this body, he probably wouldn't even be able to hold the syringe steady. But he didn't expect that the moment he stepped onto the operating table, his fingertips would automatically find a familiar touch.

The angle at which the scalpel cut through the skin was astonishingly precise, and the stitches during suturing were fine and even. The entire procedure was so smooth that it felt like it had been fast-forwarded, giving him a strange sense of dissection.

While his brain was still thinking about the next move, his hands had already completed the operation. He was like an observer, witnessing a textbook-level surgery come to an end in his hands.

When he took off his mask, the thin layer of sweat on his forehead carried a sense of accomplishment, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion:

As expected of the "surgical master" created with painstaking effort by the female-oriented author, this 100% success rate is no exaggeration.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the surgery. The nurses wheeled the unconscious Tang Weiwei to a VIP ward. Yu Chenzhou rubbed his sore neck and shoulders, and as soon as he changed out of his surgical gown, he headed towards the pediatric operating room.

According to the original plot, the little boy's surgery should be coming to an end at this point.

Before they even reached the door, a heart-wrenching cry shattered the tranquility of the corridor. The woman's wails mingled with the man's roars, and it was clear without asking that the surgery had failed; the plot had indeed followed the expected trajectory.

However, subtle deviations have already appeared:

Because in the original storyline, he was the one pushed out to take the blame, but this time it was Dean Zhang He who was in charge of the surgery.

Yu Chenzhou leaned against the window at the end of the corridor and saw Zhang He and Gu Mo surrounded by their families. Two buttons on their white coats had been torn off. He curled his lips and turned to leave.

This time, he completely distanced himself from the matter and wanted to see if Su Qinghuan and the people at the hospital could still pin the blame on him, just like in the original story.

"Have you heard? Dr. Gu from the pediatrics department has made a huge mistake!"

The five-year-old boy couldn't be saved, and his family is causing a scene at the nurses' station; even Director Zhang is being bothered!

At the corner of the corridor, two nurses were whispering to each other, one of them adding in a low voice.

"I just passed by and saw that Dr. Gu's family had pulled out a lot of hair from his head. It was already thinning, and now he's probably going to be completely bald!"

"It's not just about going bald!"

Another nurse glanced around and lowered her voice even further.

"The family is making a scene, claiming the hospital accepted bribes and deliberately reassigned an experienced senior doctor to another surgery, instead sending a recent graduate to perform the operation on their child. They are now demanding compensation from the hospital!"

Yu Chenzhou was walking along the corridor toward the cafeteria when the whispers drifted to his ears like tiny pieces of paper. He didn't stop walking, but his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the pocket of his white coat.

"Who can say for sure about these things... cough cough cough!"

The nurse, who was speaking, caught a glimpse of the approaching figure out of the corner of her eye, and was suddenly choked by her own saliva. The violent coughing instantly interrupted the conversation.

The nurse next to her followed her gaze and, upon seeing Yu Chenzhou, immediately shut her mouth and even quietly took a half-step back.

Yu Chenzhou was used to this scene. The original owner of the body was set to be a single-minded person who never talked much with other women in the hospital. In addition, her medical skills were so superb that they were beyond the reach of others, which inevitably made people feel that she was distant.

He walked past the nurse without looking to either side, his steady footsteps particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

Only after his figure turned the corner of the corridor did the young nurse breathe a sigh of relief, clicking her tongue regretfully as she watched his tall, straight back.

"What a waste! How could such a rich and handsome eligible bachelor like Dr. Yu have been snatched up by that scheming Su Qinghuan?"

"you do not say!"

Another nurse echoed with a sigh.

"The key is that Dr. Yu is also very devoted. In all the time we've been dating, he has never spoken much to other female doctors, which means that those of us who want to secretly steal him away don't even have a chance."

"Cough cough."

The older nurses next to them suddenly coughed loudly twice and gave them a coded signal with their eyes.

The two fell silent instantly, their gossipy expressions vanishing instantly.

In a hospital, talking about colleagues behind their backs is a big no-no, especially when it comes to Su Qinghuan.

Before they could even adjust their expressions, a tall woman in a white coat with a cool and aloof demeanor walked past them. It was Su Qinghuan.

"Dr. Su, are you done?"

The group immediately put on enthusiastic smiles, their previous regret and gossip vanishing without a trace. One of the nurses greeted them familiarly and even thoughtfully pointed in the direction of the cafeteria.

"We just saw Dr. Yu heading towards the cafeteria. If you go now, you'll run into him!"

"Yes, I just finished rounds."

Su Qinghuan's smile was just right, both approachable and dignified as a doctor.

"Are you going to eat too? We're going the same way, let's go together."

The group chatted animatedly along the way, from department gossip to the latest hit TV series. They seemed very close, but every word they said was actually full of hidden meanings.

The nurses wanted to find out about her and Yu Chenzhou's progress, but Su Qinghuan cleverly avoided private topics and only gave some irrelevant responses.

This is the "bestie social circle" in the workplace: not many people, but many cunning minds.

As Su Qinghuan approached the cafeteria entrance, her gaze instantly locked onto a corner where Yu Chenzhou was drinking soup, sunlight streaming through the window and falling on the top of his head, outlining a soft silhouette.

Her eyes lit up, and she told the nurses, "You go get your food first," before quickly walking in that direction.

Watching her slightly anxious figure, the nurses' smiles faded, and they all showed expressions of indifference.

One of them curled his lip and said in a voice that only a few people could hear:

"He's really putting on an act. Anyone who didn't know better would think he's genuinely concerned about Dr. Yu."

"The ship sank!"

Su Qinghuan sat down opposite him, the chair legs scraping against the floor with a soft sound. She reached up and tidied a stray hair behind her ear, her tone full of just the right amount of concern.

"I heard from my colleagues in the emergency department this morning that you were in a traffic accident. Are you alright?"

I called you but no one answered; I was worried all morning.

Yu Chenzhou put down his soup spoon and looked up at the woman opposite him.

It must be admitted that the female protagonists in female-oriented novels are indeed good-looking. Their fair skin shines with a delicate glow under the cafeteria lights, and the eye bags under their eyes are particularly endearing when they smile.

Even though he had seen countless photos of her in the original owner's phone album, his heart still skipped a beat when they were looking at each other up close.

But the next second, the image of the original owner being constantly exploited and leeched by Su Qinghuan and her family in the original story flooded his mind, and he immediately sobered up.

To protect his future and assets, he must keep his distance from this woman.

"It was just a minor scratch; no one was injured."

He explained in a calm tone, tapping his fingertips on the table.

"I was too tired from working overtime last night and left my phone in the study before going to bed. I only saw your missed call when I got to the hospital this morning."

I figured you must be busy, so I didn't call back. I was planning to ask you again when we bumped into each other at noon.

What's wrong? Is it urgent?

"It's not urgent."

Su Qinghuan raised her hand to smooth her hair, her smile as sweet as honey, which made Yu Chenzhou pause in surprise again.

This face, paired with a gentle expression, can indeed make most men willingly give their all.

"My younger brother, Su Mingzhe, took the high-speed train to Shanghai this morning. I originally wanted you to drive me to the train station to pick him up, but I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I called a ride-hailing service for him instead. Now I don't need to bother you at all!"

The moment the name "Su Mingzhe" was uttered, an alarm bell rang in Yu Chenzhou's heart.

The "vampire" from the original story is finally about to make its appearance.

As the plot unfolds, the idle younger brother will first borrow money from him under the pretext of finding a job or paying rent.

Then, under the pretext of having a girlfriend, he intensified his demands for designer watches and luxury handbags, and finally went so far as to ask for a car and a house.

As a female protagonist in a female-oriented novel, she is naturally a complete brother-supporting demon, so Su Qinghuan doesn't think there's anything wrong with what her brother did. On the contrary, she thinks it's only natural for her brother-in-law, Yu Chenzhou, to help.

However, Su Mingzhe's appearance also signifies that a new storyline is about to begin.

This means he will get more chances to win prizes in the upcoming storyline.

This is also the real reason why he has never confronted Su Qinghuan directly and has chosen to play along.

Compared to the temporary troubles, the rewards from the system are the key to his survival in this world.
