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

Su Daiqing tightened his grip on her arm, ignoring her surprised and disbelieving gaze.

"Zhu Er, I'm back."

Zhu Xi quickly snapped out of her surprise at her ex-boyfriend Su Daiqing's sudden outburst and stomped hard on Su Daiqing's foot.

Her heels were twisted so hard she wanted to stomp Su Daiqing's leather shoes into the floor.

"Damn it." Su Daiqing winced and released her, holding onto the nurses' station counter with his right foot against his left knee. "Why do you always step on my right foot?"

Zhu Xi held her chin high, looking down at her ex-boyfriend's smug face, and arrogantly tossed the ends of her hair behind her.

Lezhi stood to the side, the chocolate bar in his hand turned into chocolate crumbs.

"Zhu Xi, is this the handsome guy who gave you the bracelet?" She tiptoed closer, looked at Zhu Xi, then sized up Su Daiqing. "They're such a good match."

As Zhu Xi pushed away Le Zhi who was getting close, she said with disgust, "Get lost!"

Lezhi acted as if she hadn't heard, but the gossip flames in her eyes were already raging. "You fell down, and a handsome guy descended from the sky to save the damsel in distress. What a wonderful coincidence..."

Zhu Xi covered her ears, annoyed to no end. She turned her head and her attention was drawn to Su Daiqing's name tag.

[Deputy Director of the Medical Affairs Department.]

[Su Daiqing]

Zhu Xi: "Su Daiqing, you motherfucker!"

She cursed, feeling like vomiting just looking at Su Daiqing's face.

Su Daiqing stopped, straightened his employee badge, and said smugly, "Hmm."

Lezhishi clearly knew more gossip than Zhuxi. "Rumor has it that a handsome guy returning from America is coming to the hospital. Is that you?"

Zhu Xi frowned, suppressing her nausea, and snapped her fingers, saying to Le Zhishi and the nurses at the nurses' station, "Hurry up and curry favor with the new director."

"Gao Yanei, especially you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, congratulations and welcomes blared at the overhead incandescent lights, as if attacking the newly arrived Su Daiqing from all sides.

Zhu Xi then made a hasty escape and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Surprised by Su Daiqing's sudden arrival, he felt more resentment towards his own brother and a constant stream of complaints.

She was so focused on settling scores with Zhu He after the fact that she didn't see Zhou Lingyi's mixed feelings as she returned, nor did she see the words Su Daiqing said in response to Le Zhishi's question.

"Zhu Er and I are childhood sweethearts."

"She dumped me!"

Zhu Xi and Su Daiqing were junior high school classmates and went to Libei University together, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

During the most crucial years of adolescence, Su Daiqing spent almost every day with the Zhu siblings.

Going to school, leaving school, studying, taking exams.

Later, at the Medical Department of Libei University, the three of them still didn't separate.

In the second semester of my freshman year, the cherry blossoms bloomed.

Su Daiqing stopped her from asking other senior students for semen samples for her lab class, thus revealing the beginning of their first love.

That day, Su Daiqing, who was usually shameless, reddened for the first time. She grabbed the hair behind her ear and stammered.

Zhu Xi stared blankly at the unidentified liquid between the two of them, and heard the boy opposite her confess his love.

"I have plenty of these; it's too much trouble to ask others."

Zhu Xi reached out and took it. "You... do you have one?"

Su Daiqing's face, already flushed, turned a deep red, like it was smeared with chili powder. "Yes! Plenty."

Zhu Xi said "Oh," and added, "Then you should use it sparingly, as kidney deficiency is difficult to treat."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The long main road of the campus is lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom.

Pale pink and light white, drifting down like fluff.

She walked slowly under the cherry blossom tree, her lips curved in a smile, and her eyebrows radiating joy.

Before long, Su Daiqing caught up, and the two walked side by side.

"Don't run around after class." He nudged her shoulder.

Su Daiqing glanced at him sideways, knowing the answer already, and asked, "What?"

"Let's invite Brother He to meet our relatives, and I'll treat you to sauerkraut fish!" Su Daiqing raised an eyebrow, afraid that she wouldn't understand, "You know, I'm half a year older than you."

"Then you should save your money."

Why save money?

"Buy more toilet paper," Zhu Xi paused, "to wipe your hands, otherwise they'll get dirty!"

Su Daiqing's abs tightened. "That's rude. I'm half a year older than you."

Zhu Xi looked away, "What's it to me?"

Su Daiqing: "What do you mean it's none of your business? If it weren't for you, you'd be calling me 'brother' during the celebration!"

Zhu Xi stopped, as cherry blossoms, like raindrops, fluttered down from above.

"So what? You're trying to scam me out of money so I can buy you toilet paper?"

Su Daiqing habitually slung her backpack over his shoulder, a smooth and natural motion, and sighed, "From now on, I'll have to go easy on your brother when we play ball."

"Oh, did I beg you?" Zhu Xi was like a wet cotton ball that couldn't be penetrated.

Su Daiqing was short of breath. "No."

Zhu Xi continued sarcastically, "So, did you beg me?"

Su Daiqing instantly understood: "Please be my girlfriend!"

Zhu Xi lifted her foot again, her steps swift, sending cherry blossom petals brushing against her long skirt as she twirled and danced, "I beg again."

"Please!"

"All right."

The two talked freely and unrestrainedly, and the beauty of the beginning of their relationship did not affect the awkwardness and embarrassment of their breakup.

After graduating from university, the two broke up.

The reasons are that each of them has its own problems.

Over here, Zhou Lingyi listened to everything, and when Su Daiqing was at his most smug, she pretended to accidentally step on his foot.

He didn't even apologize, and just left.

She went downstairs and got into her car.

"Brother, can you please stop focusing solely on making money?"

Zhou Yinghuai was completely bewildered. He lay on his side in the dimly lit room, pinching his brow with his fingertips. "Lan Qi provoked you, so beat him to death. I'll earn money to pay for his medical expenses."

Zhou Lingyi was so anxious that she kept honking the horn, "My sister-in-law is about to be snatched away!"

"Um."

"Your wife, Zhu Xi."

In case Zhou Yinghuai didn't hear, "Your wife, my sister-in-law, is a neurosurgeon at the People's Hospital, Zhu Xi!"

Zhou Yinghuai paused in his pinching of his brow, and asked in a deep voice, "You went to the hospital?"

Zhou Lingyi was so speechless that she wanted to pull her brother's calm and collected face out of the screen. "Brother, you deserve to die alone."

The scene from before has been perfectly recreated with embellishments and exaggerations.

Zhou Yinghuai listened to the gist of it, "Zhu Xi mentioned that she had an ex-boyfriend, I know that."

Zhou Lingyi: "I..."

Congratulations from across the ocean are also being questioned.

"I really didn't know Su Daiqing was back in China." Zhu He had just fallen asleep and was a little annoyed at being woken up. Looking at her sullen sister on the screen, she turned on the bedside lamp and laughed, "Three months ago, he sent me an email, a long 600 words, but he didn't mention you at all."

Zhu Xi sat in the chair, leisurely spinning around, "I don't believe it."

Congratulations: "When have I ever lied to you, bro?"

"What did he say to you?" Zhu Xi guessed that her ex-boyfriend's mouth was full of nonsense. "What else can he say besides spouting nonsense?"

Congratulations: "Let's discuss some literary studies."

Zhu Xi: "Huh?"

"The Memorial on Dispatching the Troops!" Zhu He shook his head helplessly. "He recited the Memorial on Dispatching the Troops once."

Zhu Xi's inner monologue: She really is... to hell with Su Daiqing.

-

The video calls on both sides ended almost simultaneously.

Zhou Yinghuai turned on the light.

A warm yellow halo instantly illuminated the room. He covered his eyes with the back of his hand, his breathing steady.

Zhu Xiyou's chair, which had been slowly turning, gradually calmed down, and she picked up her phone, which had just been plugged in to charge.
