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

Zhu Xi: "I don't need to depend on anything. I have my roots, my bones, and my way of life."

She's not stupid.

Before his business trip, Zhou Yinghuai said he would be gone for several months and would be very busy.

He also told her that if she couldn't contact him, she could go to Sheng Xiali.

She also said that she would receive a gift prepared in advance by him every week when she had time off.

Zhu Xi laughed at him, saying he was treating him like a child.

Zhou Yinghuai explained that this was how he had coaxed Lingyi before.

She can guess why he returned to China in just half a month.

"Zhou Yinghuai." She smiled coolly, her body stiffening as she looked directly into her husband's deep eyes. "I think we should both abide by what we said before we got married. Understanding is fine, but don't cross the line."

Zhou Yinghuai dried his hands and gave a faint "hmm".

Yu Qinghuan once said that Zhu Xi was a heartless person.

She is ungrateful for everything others do for her.

will never.

Having received the answer, Zhu Xi tossed her hair, turned around briskly, and said, "Let's eat, it's late."

The desk in the new dormitory is twice as long as the old one.

The computer was on the right, and many of her books were placed on a simple bookshelf to the side.

A tablecloth was laid out on the left side, and a vase was placed there. The vase contained lisianthus and champagne roses that Zhou Yinghuai had brought that evening.

The window was slightly ajar, and from this angle, Zhu Xi could see the flashing car lights on the road.

The two of them were separated by a corner of the table, and they opened their lunch boxes one by one.

Zhou Yinghuai: "We've changed a few dishes, you can try them."

He remained as calm as ever.

Zhu Xi, holding her chopsticks, asked, "How many days have you been back?"

"Three days." Zhou Yinghuai looked at her and then explained, "It's not because you came back specifically, so you don't need to feel guilty."

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow again, "Hmm."

"It was Lingyi who caused the trouble."

Zhu Xi likes Kung Pao shrimp balls and has already eaten her second one. "What's wrong with her?"

Zhou Yinghuai wasn't hungry; he was just there to keep her company. He took a sip of coffee, his expression unreadable. "I had a fight with Lan Qi."

Zhu Xi put down her chopsticks and went to the refrigerator, quickly taking out a glass of ice and placing it next to Zhou Yinghuai.

Once she sat back down, Zhou Yinghuai pursed his lips and poured the now lukewarm coffee into an ice glass.

Drinking it this way tastes good and is more refreshing.

Their eyes met again, and Zhu Xi smiled. "Staying up all night is really uncomfortable, so you must get plenty of rest."

"I have no choice but to stay up late. Working in a hospital is different from working outside. Being a chief resident is a path I have to take." Zhu Xi ate another shrimp ball, and the night breeze carried the fragrance of flowers brought by Zhou Yinghuai. "I'm strong. If you stay up like this, even the strongest body can't take it."

Zhou Yinghuai sipped his cool coffee and listened to the doctor's words, "It won't happen again."

Zhu Xi ate for a while longer, and the two remained silent, exchanging no further words.

After she had eaten about half her fill, she asked, "Aren't Lingyi and Lanqi on good terms?"

"A good relationship doesn't prevent arguments and physical fights. If you have the chance to consult an orthopedic doctor, you can ask if there's a man with a bruised and swollen face surnamed Lan."

"Oh, the emergency room should also be an option."

Zhou Yinghuai is tireless and will do his best in the matter of the Yin-Yang Blue Flag.

Zhu Xi dropped her chopsticks, realizing something was serious. "A fight broke out?"

She's seen a lot of outrageous things at the hospital; couples arguing is nothing new to her.

It's rare for a relationship to escalate to the orthopedics department, and even rarer for a relationship with such a good bond to end up in an orthopedics department.

Zhou Yinghuai gave her a new pair of chopsticks, gesturing for her to continue eating.

"It was from a golf club; she has a minor fracture in her shoulder." He took another sip of coffee and added, "Lingyi is very good at golf."

How painful it must be to be hit by a golf club.

Zhu Xi seemed to empathize, frowning and sighing, "You should still treat Lan Qi better."

Zhou Yinghuai refused, saying, "He doesn't have much time left either."

"Did Lingyi hit so hard?" Zhu Xi was surprised. She had been in the hospital recently and hadn't heard any gossip about couples fighting.

Those big mouths in the ER, with such big news, can spread it throughout the entire hospital in less than an hour.

In orthopedics, the news spreads even before the patient leaves the hospital.

Zhou Yinghuai said calmly, "The external injury isn't fatal; it's another illness. The doctor gave me the advice that I only have a few days left to live."

Zhu Xi paused in her chewing of the shrimp ball, pursed her lips, swallowed it, and hurriedly asked, "Was it diagnosed at our hospital? Which department? I'll go ask."

Zhou Yinghuai looked at her and said, "Neurosurgery, glioma."

"What?"

Zhu Xi thought she had misheard, but looking at her mother-in-law and the man in front of her calmly during the day, they didn't seem to know that their loved one was critically ill and beyond saving.

Even though Lan Qi was on Zhou Yinghuai's blacklist, and even though Zhou Yinghuai was very unhappy that Lan Qi had married his sister.

Even a kind and gentle person like Zhou Yinghuai shouldn't have such an attitude when faced with a life-threatening illness.

She thought of the acquaintance from that day, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Could it be?"

Zhou Yinghuai gestured for her to continue eating, "Eat quickly, don't let irrelevant people affect your appetite."

"Especially people like Lan Qi, who are morally despicable."

Now Zhu Xi had her answer.

"Why is your sister named Guan Shanyue?"

Zhou Yinghuai packed her a serving of black chicken soup, reheated it in the microwave, and the aroma was wonderful; the soup was delicious and flavorful.

"Lingyi is her childhood name, and Guanshanyue is her formal name. She takes my mother's surname, Guan." He placed the soup bowl in front of her. "Be careful, it'll be hot."

Zhu Xi took a sip of soup, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "That day she only said she was an acquaintance, and I didn't think much of it."

Zhou Yinghuai: "So even though she was swearing, you didn't link it to me?"

Zhu Xi grinned mischievously and denied it, saying, "I didn't insult you."

Doctor of duty dictates that she put down her spoon and said seriously, "Judging from the scans, the patient does indeed have a glioma, in addition to the symptoms described by Lingyi."

She paused for a moment, then said, "If it's a family relative, it's best to come to the hospital for a checkup. Although they are a bit older, maybe..."

Zhou Yinghuai gently shook his head. "Drink the soup."

Zhu Xi thought she had been meddling, so she shrugged and said, "Oh."

Zhou Yinghuai still couldn't bear to lie to her, "I bought that film online in the middle of summer."

Zhu Xi spat out every last drop of the soup she had just put in her mouth.

Zhou Yinghuai was not spared; his slightly long hair was speckled with soup stains.

The night was completely enveloped in the stillness of the deep night.

Zhou Yinghuai washed his hair in the dormitory and left wearing a half-dry shirt.

Zhu Xi saw the person into the elevator, then turned around and saw Lezhi drinking Red Bull.

Lezhi exclaimed in surprise, "Even with a spacious dorm room, you still have to be careful. She arrived at nine and didn't leave until one. Her appetite is incredible. You little brat, you ate really well."

Zhu Xi rolled her eyes. "Get lost!"

Lezhi walked alongside her, saying, "Is it inconvenient to take a shower with that tap in your dorm?"

Zhu Xi grabbed her by the collar and pinned her against the wall. Le Zhishi timidly offered her Red Bull, saying, "Tell the truth so I won't slap you in the face."

"Lezhi, you seem quite interested in me."

Lezhi retorted, "Zhuxi, I'm just reminding you to watch out for the eyes watching you from behind."
