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

Zhu Xi did not know why her father, Zhu Tanzhi, had come.

After Zhu Tanzhi remarried, she couldn't feel close to him anymore.

"Your dad's downstairs." Director Hao sighed, looking at her straight back. "If you don't want to see him, go to the operating room."

Zhu Xi turned around with a smile, "Dean Zhu has come to visit in person."

She waved her hand, "Please praise me less, lest he become unhappy."

Zhu Xi walked down the corridor back to her office, sipping an ice-cold Americano.

My tongue feels bitter and numb.

The pain was so intense that she thought of drinking glucose in the operating room.

She turned the corner of the corridor and saw her stepsister, Zhu Hao, standing at the office door with a bag in her hand.

Seeing her, I smiled and said, "Sister."

Zhu Xi stood there, stunned.

She neither loved nor hated her stepmother's younger sister; she neither liked nor disliked her.

She didn't move, and neither did she wish him well nor get angry.

"Dad's busy, so I came up to try my luck." Zhu Hao smiled, her eyes crinkling. "I brought you some snacks from Wang Shier's shop."

Zhu Xi pursed her lips, did not step forward, but instead took a half step back.

Zhu Hao still smiled and said, "My mom wouldn't let me come, so I secretly got into my dad's car."

"Sister, I miss you."

Zhu Xi grunted in agreement and stepped forward, steeling herself.

"Sister." Zhu Hao switched to a different handbag.

Zhu Xi really liked the snacks from Wang Shier's family.

After it became popular with online celebrities, I have to queue for half an hour almost every time I go there, and there are also purchase limits.

This bag is so big, Zhu Hao must have queued up several times.

Zhu Hao pouted, "Sis, you haven't replied to my messages. Brother said you've been really busy lately, you..."

As they were talking, Zhu Hao suddenly hugged Zhu Xi.

"Sis, you've lost weight."

Zhu Xi pushed her away, her first thought being of the trend chart that Zhou Yinghuai had praised.

A lover's eyes may see only the skinny girl, but a lover can also lie through their teeth.

You look so pitiful, like a little puppy that failed to get attention.

"Sis~"

The two stood in the corridor chatting, but that wasn't a solution.

Zhu Xi led the person to her dormitory.

"Please sit down."

After putting down the bag, Zhu Hao exclaimed, "Wow, sis, your dorm room as a chief resident is so luxurious!"

"At Dad's hospital, the resident's dormitory can only fit one bed."

Zhu Xi took off her white coat and washed her hands. "How did you know?"

I wished to stand next to her, wanting to get close to her, and squeeze in with her to grab the water tap.

The water flowed towards Zhu Xi's fingertips.

Wishing you happiness by kneading foam, and wishing you well by learning.

"I want to study medicine, and my dad made me visit a hospital. He repeatedly emphasized that this path is difficult and tried to dissuade me."

"And then?" Zhu Xi asked, looking up.

Zhu Tanzhi simply wanted to tell Zhu Hao that studying medicine is tough, and one must be able to endure it and calm down.

Reaching the chief resident stage was extremely difficult.

"I want to study medicine even more!" Zhu Hao, still retaining a bit of her student naiveté, kept a small portion of her attention to herself. "I want to be a neurosurgeon too, and you can mentor me then, sister!"

She acted coquettishly, dried herself off, and naturally took Zhu Xi's arm to get close to her.

"Sister, you can't abandon me."

Fearing that Zhu Xi might actually refuse, Zhu Hao pulled out her trump card again, "Brother said you have to take me with you."

Zhu Xi wasn't buying it. "My brother would never force me to do anything."

"Oh." Zhu Hao lowered her head dejectedly, releasing her arm from Zhu Xi's. "I understand."

"Sis, you're busy, I'm leaving."

The expression on her face, wishing him well, was almost tearful.

She kept turning back to look at him as she walked, and even when she was almost at the door, her gaze lingered on Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi's gaze fell on Wang Shier's logo, her eyes closed. "Wait a minute."

Zhu Hao immediately changed his expression, switching back to a cheerful demeanor. "Sis, it's your birthday today, treat me to French food at Imperial View."

She jumped over and hugged Zhu Xi's arm, "The school gave me a scholarship. We used half of it to buy gifts for you and your brother, and we'll use the other half to eat French food."

"Aren't you asking me to treat you?"

Best wishes: "Yes, you're treating, I'll pay!"

Zhu Xi was moved, but her expression remained indifferent. "We have to eat French food at the Imperial View Hotel tonight."

"Then tonight it is. Anyway, I'm on vacation and don't have much to do." Zhu Hao looked at her messy dorm room. "Sis, you go ahead and do your work, I'll help you clean up."

Zhu Xi didn't stop her. Before leaving the dormitory, she told her, "There's a shopping mall near the hospital. If you're bored, go for a stroll. Just come back before dinner."

"No." Zhu Hao had already started to act. "I'll be waiting for you in the dorm."

Her eyes crinkled with a smile, her expression sincere and open: "Sister, come visit me when you have some free time."

"I'm very busy, I don't have time." Zhu Xi left with a cold face.

-

I'm here to celebrate her birthday.

Today is Zhu Xi's birthday.

The first person to wish her a happy birthday was Zhou Yinghuai.

He offered his congratulations first, praising the winner.

Just after midnight, Zhou Yinghuai's red envelope of blessings arrived.

It was transferred directly to her card, an amount that put no burden on her.

Before making his rounds, he sent her another message.

Tell her that her birthday gift is in the bridal chamber.

Zhu Xi politely thanked him.

Their relationship has returned to the stage of getting their marriage certificate.

Married, but not well acquainted.

The second was congratulations, and although there was a time difference, I was only two seconds later than Zhou Yinghuai.

The third is to wish you well.

The two men only had eight simple words.

Happy birthday, and may everything go well for you.

Happy birthday, and may you always be happy.

I sang her a happy birthday song.

I sang it twenty-seven times and sent twenty-seven voice messages.

In the end, her voice became hoarse.

Zhu Xi had just finished resuscitating a patient in the emergency room on the first floor.

I patiently listened to all twenty-seven voice messages, one by one.

-

Before we knew it, it was noon.

Xiaoyue came to her office. "Happy birthday, what are you having for lunch?"

Zhu Xi was still busy, saying, "I won't eat, I'll go hungry."

Xiaoyue didn't believe it. "Hey, where's your handsome husband?"

Zhu Xi paused in her typing, then made up a random excuse, "I'm at work."

"Where are you planning to celebrate tonight? I heard Lezhi offered to cover your shift."

Zhu Xi: "Di Jing, let's have French food."

"Wow, the bank waived your mortgage?"

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow. "My sister's here. Let's take her out to eat."

When asked to say "best wishes," she slapped her forehead in annoyance.

"broken."

Xiaoyue tensed up, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot about her."

Zhu Xi locked her computer and went straight to her dorm.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zhu Hao lying there looking pitiful.

Seeing her is like seeing divine light.

"Sis, you haven't spoken to me for 4 hours and 28 minutes! I'm starving!"

Zhu Xi: "There's food in the refrigerator."

"That was given to you by my brother-in-law, how could I eat it?"

Brother-in-law?

Zhu Xi's alarm bells immediately went off: "Zhou Yinghuai is here?"

"Yes, I brought you lunch." Zhu Hao opened the refrigerator, and on the top shelf was a cake.
