It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Chapter 117 [Sister Xi, the rain has stopped.]

Zhu Xi held her phone in one hand to reply to messages.

Although the daytime in Libei is not bright.

Thick, endless black clouds covered the sky, turning what should have been a sunny summer day into a gloomy pre-dawn scene.

Even so, Zhu Xi stood in the dim shadows.

Her eyes and brows still exuded a sense of tranquility and gentleness.

Behind me was an obscure, dark shadow, and before me was the glowing light of a screen.

Zhu Xi lowered her head and replied to the message: 【I won】

She stopped typing halfway through the message.

Look up and gaze into the distance.

After careful consideration, she realized that there didn't seem to be anything she particularly wanted right now.

Married? She already has a husband.

My husband is a handsome, kind, and wealthy man.

Promotion? She's already a resident physician.

Studying under the renowned neurosurgeon, Director Hao, has already put me a significant step ahead of my classmates.

Seeking wealth? It seems she has amassed a considerable fortune.

In Huanxi Sha's bridal chamber, there was a room full of jewelry and bags that Zhou Yinghuai had given her, which could be quickly converted into cash.

Now, she has her brother by her side, her husband by her side, a successful career, and wealth in her hands.

A true winner in life.

However, people's joys and sorrows are not shared.

The road was congested, and Zhou Yinghuai couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the message "The other party is typing" at the top of the screen.

He leaned over the steering wheel, looking up at the gloomy, rainy sky.

I called Chen Bei.

Chen Bei has arrived at his post and is in the assistant's office arranging Zhou Yinghuai's schedule for the day.

He was somewhat pleased to receive a call from his boss, who had been on strike for several days.

"Boss."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Have you arrived at the company yet?"

Chen Bei was delighted. "We've arrived. Should I arrange a car to pick you up, boss?"

"Need not."

"The weather is bad, it's not safe for you to drive alone."

Zhou Yinghuai sat up straight and leaned back. "It's alright, I'll be back at Huanxisha soon."

Chen Bei's smile froze on his face, his lips twitching. "You...you're not coming to the company?"

"I remember you have a classmate who works at the provincial meteorological bureau?"

Chen Bei's vision went black again and again, and he finally realized that this was the boss's real purpose.

"Yes, he was my high school classmate."

Zhou Yinghuai smiled and said, "Call him and catch up."

"what?"

"By the way, when will this rain stop?"

Chen Bei: "..."

After the call with Chen Bei ended, a red dot appeared on Zhou Yinghuai's WeChat.

This comes from someone who said last night that they liked him a little bit.

Zhu Xi: [Fine, I'll play one game with you, but I don't want to bet.]

The congested traffic finally started moving.

Zhou Yinghuai released the brakes and slowly moved forward, following the car in front.

Typing is inconvenient now.

He sent a voice message.

It was only a short 5 seconds.

After being compressed by the electric current, the sound transmitted to Zhu Xi's ears was even more captivating than the Cantonese song he had heard in the car on his way there.

Zhu Xi listened to it again and again.

Zhou Yinghuai said, "You win. I'll tell you the biggest secret about me."

There are 27 seconds left until 8 o'clock.

A nurse from the outpatient department pushed open the door and walked in, standing in the shadows cast by the entrance. "Dr. Zhu, may we begin?"

Zhu Xi was forced to stop listening to the voice message halfway through. She exited the WeChat interface and then swiped up to clear the background.

"Let's begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuhe stood at the door with a cup of coffee in his hand.

The brother and sister smiled at each other.

Zhuhe put down his coffee, rubbed the top of her head, and said, "You're busy, I'm leaving."

"Brother," Zhu Xi pouted, "where are you going later?"

Congratulations with a light laugh, "Go back to your dorm and help the old man write his report."

"Anything else?"

Zhu Xi knew that there was only a little bit left of the report.

The old man said that the previous data and analysis were all fine, and all that was left was to combine it with foreign data and make some minor adjustments.

She has a morning clinic and can't slip away halfway through.

"Bro, aren't you bored? I'll urgently sign you up for a blind date!"

Congratulations shook his head, "Thank you, but it's not necessary! Zhou Ying has already assigned me the tasks."

"What does he want with you?" Zhu Xi asked, displeased.

"I'll help you tidy up your dorm." Zhu He really left, just half a minute past eight o'clock.

He left the clinic and thanked the nurse standing at the door.

The nurse chuckled and said, "Dr. Zhu, your brother is so handsome!"

Zhu Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "That's right!"

Does he have a girlfriend?

"You still have a chance!" Zhu Xi snapped her fingers, cleared her throat, and said, "Call out the numbers."

The nurse shook her head. "I don't have a chance."

"Um?"

"Dr. Le from your department was looking for your brother at the elevator."

Zhu Xi: "?!"

-

A busy and fulfilling morning.

Bad movies, medical consultations, prescriptions, and answering questions.

The process is repetitive, and there are many patients.

In my busy schedule, I barely drank any coffee or glanced out the window.

I wonder how much time has passed in the human world, as the clock strikes its zenith.

Patients came and went in waves, and Zhu Xi had entered a state of complete absorption.

Until, a nurse stood by with a smile and threw the coffee she had finished into the trash can.

"No more numbers available."

Zhu Xi released the mouse, rubbing her sore neck.

His sore eyes blinked repeatedly, and he raised an eyebrow with a wry smile. "It's been tough."

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor!" The nurse, deeply sympathizing with her exhaustion, glanced out the window.

At that moment, Zhu Xi also took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her white coat.

After successfully unlocking.

Among the flood of messages, Zhu Xi immediately noticed the red dot next to Zhou Yinghuai's profile picture.

The nurse's voice and words were synchronized once again.

"Dr., the rain has stopped."

[Sister Xi, the rain has stopped.]

Zhu Xi paused in her grip on her neck, then looked up and gazed out the window.

The branches are silent, and the leaves are clean and fresh.

Everywhere you look, there is tranquility and warmth after the storm.

The puddles on the ground were still, but an occasional breeze stirred up a clear summer day.

The nurse pushed open the window, and a rustic smell rushed out.

She sighed, "I thought this rain would last a long time."

Wishing you a blessed view of lush greenery as the dark clouds disperse.

She replied, "Yes, I also thought this rain would last a long time."

Zhou Yinghuai won.

Following the success of "The Dawn's Glow," they won the bet again.

Zhu Xi left the outpatient clinic and walked along the corridor leading back to the neurosurgery inpatient ward.

The dark clouds that had enveloped the entire sky above Libei in the morning have thinned out, and there is a strong trend towards clearing up.

She leaned on the railing with her elbows, gazing quietly into the distance.

This is the phone call Zhou Yinghuai made.

A video call connecting two people.

The first thing Zhou Yinghuai said was, "Sister Xi, you have to be happy."

Zhu Xi gave a perfunctory smile, feigning politeness, and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Zhou Yinghuai's deep eyes lit up with boundless laughter. "I'll go down and bring you and Zhu He food later."

"I'm not hungry." Zhu Xi looked away from the screen and then back at the newly cleared sky. "Zhou Yinghuai."

She called out to him.

"Um?"

Zhu Xi: "You won the bet, so why are you making me happy?"

That's not fair to you.

Zhou Yinghuai: "Because you didn't divorce me."

That was such a beautiful and unexpected statement.

Zhu Xi was so distracted that she didn't notice the classmate walking towards her.

"Oh!"

With a loud shout, Zhu Xi successfully released the phone from her hand, which fell to the ground.

Still reeling from the shock, a disaster struck.

The call was interrupted.

Then, a rumble of thunder sounded, startling her so much that she clutched her chest and took a long time to recover.

My classmate is a single young man in the radiology department who loves to joke around.

They both joined the hospital at the same time and had a lot of interaction during their department rotations.

"What are you thinking about?" The male colleague chuckled, picked up her phone, and examined it carefully. "It's not broken!"

Zhu Xi sighed, glancing at the screen with a crack. "As expected of the unattainable beauty of the radiology department, such a huge crack, and you're telling me it didn't break?"

"Eh!" the male colleague deliberately drawled, "My eyes are my ruler!"

Zhu Xi frowned and sneered, "Thank you."

"By the way, President Zhu," the male colleague looked around, tugged at her sleeve and pulled her aside, "You're back, Zhu He?"

Zhu Xi raised her eyebrows, unconsciously becoming proud, "Yes, my brother is back."

"His lab caught fire yesterday, but he didn't lose any data, right?"

Zhu Xi: "What did you say?"
