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

I connected with a congratulatory video call.

"Xi Xi".

Zhu Xi snapped out of her daze, quickly concealing a hint of panic, and said, "Brother."

"Why are you calling at this hour? Aren't you about to have surgery?"

"There's a problem with the anesthesia; it'll probably take a while longer." She leaned against the wall. "Brother."

Before she could even ask, Zhuhe was the first to admit it.

"Xixi, Lezhi is coming in a few days. I plan to take her to the local church to propose. The photo I asked you to find is also for the proposal."

"what?"

"Yes, it's useful."

Zhu Xi was surprised by the incredibly fast progress between Congratulations and Le Zhi, and didn't forget to send her own blessings.

This was my brother's first relationship, and he acted swiftly and decisively.

Although she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Lezhi.

Zhu Xi clicked her tongue, a sour look on her face. "Should I congratulate him or lament his career?"

"It's not that serious," she congratulated, trying to reassure her. "It doesn't escalate to your career level."

"Xixi, although Lezhishi isn't as smart as you, she loves neurosurgery just as much."

Zhu Xi pouted, "Tch, you're just blind to beauty."

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Brother, do you also dislike Zhou Yinghuai?"

Congratulations! Gritting your teeth, you said, "I didn't even break his legs, how can you call me annoying? Not only did I not break his legs, I also talked to him all night, telling him about your likes and dislikes."

It was thanks to this heartfelt brotherly congratulation that Zhou Yinghuai was able to easily and quickly enjoy his current happy situation.

Zhu Xi felt that she understood Zhou Yinghuai and became Zhou Yinghuai.

She is still 0.01 points away from accepting the idea of ​​Lezhi becoming her sister-in-law.

"How are things with Zhou Yinghuai? Is that kid like a peacock, desperately trying to show off his charm to you?"

Like Zhou Lingyi, Zhu Xi did not allow herself to be entangled in familial or romantic relationships.

She snorted again, then changed the subject, "Brother, you're all grown up now, I can't control who you like."

"So what did you want to see me about so early in the morning?"

Zhu Xi frowned, turned around, and pressed her forehead against the wall. "Brother, I'm sorry."

"Why apologize properly?" Congratulations thought she was apologizing for what happened with Lezhi. "I liked Lezhi first, and I was the one who confessed to her first."

Zhu Xi sighed. How come she never noticed before that Zhu He was also a hopeless romantic?

She looked at the screen again. "I apologize because of Zhou Yinghuai. I've neglected you for a long time."

I just checked the chat history, bro, there's so little left.

She blamed herself, wondering how she had become so distant from Zhu He after Zhou Yinghuai came into her life, when they had relied on each other for survival.

Congratulations on your smile.

"Xi Xi is indeed someone who is deeply in love."

Zhu Xi was teased, "Brother!"

"When did you ever get so worked up over something so trivial?" Zhu He asserted his authority as an older brother, instantly dispelling her self-blame. "Xi Xi, we'll all grow up eventually, and growing up means facing separation."

"In the future, I will also drift apart from you because of Lezhishi, and at certain important moments, I will care more about Lezhishi than about you."

"We are blood relatives, and no one can change that. In the future, I will have my children, and you and Zhou Yinghuai will also have children who carry on your bloodline. Xixi, we are destined to separate, it's just a matter of time."

Zhu Xi hadn't thought that far ahead about her future with Zhou Yinghuai, let alone about having children.

If possible, she would like to have two babies.

Thinking of all this, Zhu Xi felt the clamor passing by in her ears. Influenced by the words of congratulations, she unconsciously recalled her intimate moments with Zhou Yinghuai.

"You have already made your choice between me and Zhou Yinghuai."

Zhu Xi listened quietly.

"Xixi, we are not enemies. With Zhou Yinghuai taking care of you, I will feel much more at ease abroad."

"Even if Lezhi doesn't have the lofty ambition of becoming a dean, she will still come abroad to bring me warmth."

Congratulations, he said affectionately, "Xi Xi, we've gained another member of the family, haven't we?"

"Hmm." Zhu Xi listened and smiled sweetly at Zhu He. "Brother, I think I'm liking Zhou Yinghuai more and more."

-

The surgery ended at 2:28 PM.

It took longer than expected.

A blood vessel ruptured during the operation, which took longer than expected.

Director Hao was in control throughout the entire process, and in the next second when Zhu Xi panicked, he stabilized the situation for her.

The operating room suddenly fell silent; apart from the sounds of the instruments, even the breathing of Zhu Xi and the others could not be heard.

For a long time.

Director Hao spoke up, "Continue."

Zhu Xi took over the second half of the process, and the nurse wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Teacher, I'll take over."

Director Hao nodded and stepped off the stage first.

The nurse helped him take off his surgical gown. "Director Hao, please sign this."

"it is good."

Director Hao took the pen from the nurse, signed his name, and then sat down to watch Zhu Xi's surgery.

"President Zhu."

The moment the old man opened his mouth, his familiar sarcastic tone immediately made everyone else in the operating room perk up their ears.

Zhu Xi didn't look this way, and gave a listless "hmm," waiting for the well-intentioned teasing from her mentor.

"Have you finished taking care of things at home?"

Zhu Xi pressed the button, not knowing what the old man was asking.

"Will you be able to go to work normally after this?"

Zhu Xi: "It was Le Zhi who switched shifts with me."

Director Hao said, "Then you've been wronged. I'll treat everyone to lunch. The neurosurgery department has had several surgeries in a row these past few days, and everyone has worked very hard."

Zhu Xi inwardly protested and rolled her eyes. She had only been assigned one of the several surgeries in a row, and the rest had all gone to others.

Director Hao, legs crossed, admired the sacred aura of his beloved student standing on the operating table. "It's on me, you pay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the operating room erupted in a chorus of thanks and laughter.

Anesthesia is the best option, and I'm not afraid of offending Zhu Xi. "Director Hao, I heard that President Zhu is practically strangling himself to pay off his mortgage. It's not good to make President Zhu spend money."

The scrub nurse handed Zhu Xi a piece of gauze and chimed in, "Look at you, you're behind on the news again."

anaesthetization:"?"

"That's from last month's almanac. Our current CEO, Mr. Zhu, is a wealthy tycoon!"

Zhu Xi listened to their jokes about her, letting them go in one ear and out the other, not taking them to heart at all.

If you're going to treat them to a meal, then so be it. The money the old man gave her, which was originally meant for blind dates, is enough to treat these old friends to a meal.

"Okay, it's on me. I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat, no limit!"

She was generous, and the others joined in.

"A new French restaurant just opened behind the hospital, wanna go?"

The anesthesiologist disagreed, saying, "Hey, even with two months' salary, CEO Zhu isn't making enough to eat. What a rip-off!"

He whistled. "Mr. Zhu, upstairs at the Imperial View Tower?"

Director Hao said leisurely, "You lot are really greedy. Even if my wicked daughter marries into a wealthy family, I can't let you cheat me like this."

"One bowl of beef noodles per person, with two braised eggs, that'll do."

While wiping her sweat, Zhu Xi glanced gratefully at the old man, who was as steady as Mount Tai.

She smiled, but didn't say anything.

The operating room door was opened from the outside.

It was a nurse working in the operating room, holding her cell phone.

"Dr. Zhu, someone is looking for you."

The surgery was still in progress. Zhu Xi didn't turn around, but asked calmly, "Who?"

"The name I've noted is," the nurse paused, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "My husband's brother."
