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

"A big fire." Her male colleague showed her a few photos. "My friend sent them to me. He doesn't have your brother's contact information, so he asked me to check if there were any losses."

In an instant, Zhu Xi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Male colleague: "You didn't know?"

Zhu Xi couldn't hear anything anymore.

Fire, data.

laboratory.

After her mind went blank, she was overcome with deep self-blame.

He pushed aside his colleague and ran wildly.

My male colleague said from behind, "Hey, slow down."

Zhu Xi hurriedly returned to her dormitory and pushed open the door.

The sheets have been changed, and the computer is on.

Congratulations are not available.

"My brother isn't here."

Zhu Xi ran too fast and too hastily, and because of the busy morning, her face was now pale, her breathing was unsteady, and she couldn't catch her breath.

Xiaoyue happened to come to her dormitory to use the microwave and saw her standing at the dormitory door with her body hunched over and her knees propped up.

He quickened his pace to her side, asking worriedly, "My goodness, weren't you seeing patients this morning? What happened?"

Zhu Xi looked up, her eyes stinging. She swallowed hard and quickly grabbed Xiao Yue's elbow as if she were clinging to a piece of driftwood.

"Where's my brother?"

Xiaoyue frowned, wanting to help her into the dormitory first.

Zhu Xi shook her head frantically, all the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat, and she could only repeat the same sentence over and over again, "Where's my brother? Where's my brother!"

Xiaoyue could only help her catch her breath and then whisper comforting words, "She went to the old man's office half an hour ago."

"An old man?"

"What's wrong?" Xiaoyue felt something was amiss the more she looked at her. "Zhuxi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Xi braced herself against the wall with one hand and held onto Xiao Yue's arm with the other.

With the help of two external forces, he regained his balance, and the shock from his rapid run finally subsided somewhat.

My throat still feels burning, like when I ran ten kilometers on a cold winter morning back in high school.

"Did you really go to see the old man?" she pressed.

Xiaoyue still tried to support her, saying, "Don't you often ask your brother to write your reports? The old man has already tacitly agreed, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Xi glanced at her. "No, you don't know." As she spoke, she lifted her aching legs and took a step.

They didn't say anything.

They quickly disappeared from Xiaoyue's puzzled gaze.

Zhu Xi's dormitory and the old man's office were located at opposite ends of the neurosurgery ward.

It takes an adult 3 minutes to walk from her dormitory at a steady pace.

Normally, there's nothing particularly urgent, so Zhu Xi would dawdle and take 5 minutes to arrive.

Today, she only took one and a half minutes.

The old man's office door was half open.

Zhu Xi had just raised her hand when the sound of sobbing inside interrupted her movements.

"Dr. Yue, please don't cry."

Lezhi cried and said, "How could there be a fire? You've only been back for a few days, and such a big thing has happened."

"What are the firefighters doing abroad? They only come to put out the fire after everything has already burned down."

Congratulations, both amused and exasperated, her voice filled with helplessness, "Please stop crying, okay?"

Lezhi stomped her foot again, "I can't help it! Tell me the truth, was any data lost?"

Zhu He handed over two tissues. "If you keep crying like this, Director Hao will think I've done something to you."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't cry."

Lezhi sniffed, her voice thick with nasal congestion, trying to suppress it, "You're flying there on a flight tonight, are you really not going to tell Zhu Xi?"

"If I suddenly leave, she'll get angry and throw a tantrum."

Congratulations: "Yes, I know, that's why I needed your help."

Lezhi's voice was still choked with sobs, "She has always hated me."

"No." Zhu He smiled. "Xi Xi really hates someone; she won't say a single word to her."

Lezhi replied in a weak voice, "Oh. How can I help you?"

"Could you cover her night shift?" Zhu He said, "Dr. Yue, please."

With her back against the wall, Zhu Xi's emotions collapsed in an instant.

The answer she was so eager to find was confirmed through this eavesdropping.

The lab really caught fire.

The fire was also spreading between her brother and Lezhishi.

She wasn't listening to what came after that.

Amidst her anxiety and uncertainty, she turned and left.

I ran into the old man at the nurses' station.

It must have been another relative who referred the patient; the old man is personally arranging the ward.

Upon seeing her approach, they immediately conscripted men.

Seeing that she looked like she had lost her soul, the old man immediately became serious.

"Zhu Xi, if you can't do it, then get out!"

"Don't ruin my signboard!"

Zhu Xi looked up, straightened up, and took her hand out of the pocket of her white coat. "Teacher."

The old man closed his medical record book without trying to hide it from the nurses present.

A stern criticism: "How many times have I told you, this is a hospital, a place to treat and save lives."

Zhu Xi lowered her head and said, "I was wrong."

"You know nothing!" The old man was really anxious. He had seen her walking over from afar and felt that something was wrong with her.

It was as if they had lost their soul; their spirit was clearly gone.

"Zhu Xi, what did I say to you on your first day in neurosurgery?"

Zhu Xi's back was taut.

In my ears were rousing slogans and admonitions.

Zhu Xi clearly remembered the old man's words.

He said, "Humans aren't plants or trees, but please remember this: when you're on duty wearing this white coat, even if the sky falls, you must become like those unyielding but professional plants and trees. Because your profession involves human lives!"

"If you can't do that, get the hell out of here!"

Zhu Xi apologized again, "Teacher, I was wrong."

The old man's expression relaxed slightly. "This patient will be placed in bed 15. You keep an eye on him. Arrange the preoperative examinations and monitor the patient's surgical indicators."

Zhu Xi accepted the order, "Okay."

The elevator doors opened, and Zhou Yinghuai, tall and attentive, stepped out carrying a lunchbox.

He stood out from the crowd in the elevator.

Standing out from the crowd, it is very conspicuous.

Director Hao couldn't avoid seeing it.

"Alright, stop standing there. Don't go to the repair surgery this afternoon. Take over with Lezhishi."

Zhu Xi clenched her fists. "I can do it!"

Director Hao: "You have more important things to do!"

Zhu Xi was unwilling to give up, "Teacher, I haven't affected my work."

Director Hao: "You'll be in charge of tomorrow's diffuse meningeal melanocytosis case."

Zhu Xi: "Oh."

After the old man finished cursing, he left, giving Zhou Yinghuai a disdainful look as he passed by.

Zhou Yinghuai was completely bewildered.

Zhu Xi watched Director Hao leave, and when she saw Zhou Yinghuai, her nose tingled with emotion.

Zhou Yinghuai walked over and stood beside her. "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xi pursed her lips. "It's nothing."

"Did you get yelled at?"

She lowered her eyes, rubbed her nose, and said, "No."

Zhou Yinghuai took her wrist and said, "Let's go back to the dorm first. I made you some stir-fried shrimp."

Zhu Xi pulled her hand away from his, "I can walk by myself."

With his hand empty, Zhou Yinghuai lightly twirled his fingers and quickly followed in her footsteps.

The two returned to their dormitory one after the other.

Zhu Xi took off her white coat and washed her hands.

She stared at him intently, "Zhou Yinghuai, you liar."
