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

Zhu Xi pursed her lips and quickened her pace, asking, "Why are you here?"

"I came to talk to the dean, but stopped by to see you. How did the surgery go today?" He greeted the displeased Director Hao with a smile, his eyes gentle, and he even nodded slightly.

Even though there were no outsiders around, those words sounded both heartbreaking and jarring to him.

Director Hao snorted and left.

The two stood in the light and shadow, one tall and one short.

Zhou Yinghuai looked at her, his gaze settling on her clear, shallow eyes.

"The surgery went smoothly," Zhu Xi said. "Thank you for coming to see me."

The water plants swayed wildly; she was saying one thing but meaning another.

He was clearly overjoyed.

"You're welcome." Zhou Yinghuai's voice was also low, as if on purpose.

The two looked at each other like children.

One person politely thanked them, and the other responded politely.

An unspoken emotion quietly flowed between them in silence and as they gazed at each other.

"Are you busy tonight?" Zhou Yinghuai asked knowingly. "I'd like to invite you to dinner with Zhu He."

Zhu Xi was folding a mask in her hand, and knowing that he hadn't heard what she had just said, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have something to do."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Hmm?"

Zhu Xi looked up and said bluntly, "Sorry, I only want to have dinner with my brother."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Zhou Yinghuai, it's not easy for my brother to come back, so I only want to be with him."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Yinghuai smiled and ruffled her hair. "Is there anything I can do for you? Save you a car?"

Zhu Xi shook her head, "We'll just take a taxi. We'll be drinking, so driving isn't convenient."

"We have a lot of wine in Huanxi Sha. I'll have someone send you whatever you like."

She smiled and shook her head. "Thank you, but my brother doesn't like red wine."

"We also have baijiu (Chinese liquor), at home..."

As she was talking, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

It was a call from the operating room.

The phone buzzed in her palm. Zhu Xi pointed her thumb behind her, "I have to..."

"Go ahead and do your work, I just happened to be passing by." Zhou Yinghuai reached out and took the mask from her hand.

He unfolded the mask, his long, slender fingers hooking the pockets on both sides, and put it on her. "Remember to eat. If you're not hungry, have some fruit."

Zhu Xi's ears turned red from such intimate contact.

She took a half step back and hurriedly left.

Zhou Yinghuai took two steps after her and reminded her from behind, "Remember to call me if anything happens."

Footsteps pattered, and the dark green shadow quickly disappeared.

Zhu Xi ran into the operating room through the automatic door, clutching her chest and panting.

Unable to resist, I caught a glimpse of Zhou Yinghuai's tall and imposing back through the crack in the door that was about to close.

I took long strides to create distance between myself and her.

When her colleagues at the operating room saw her like this, they assumed that her family was causing trouble at the door.

He stood up and asked, "Dr. Zhu, has the family's disturbance gotten this far?"

Zhu Xi stood up straight, put on her hat, and said, "No, I was just a little tired and flustered. I thought a ghost was chasing me!"

After saying that, he ignored the surprised look on the staff member's face and went straight in.

The call just now was made by the anesthesiologist; the patient can be transferred to the ICU.

She adjusted her breathing, a smile playing on her lips, and hurried to the operating room with small, quick steps.

"Zhou Yinghuai," she chuckled, "is a really good person."

-

The busy day passed quickly.

Congratulations on successfully obtaining your vacation.

I rushed to the dormitory, pushed open the door, and saw Zhu He sitting at the desk helping her organize the report.

A printer, seemingly out of nowhere, was running, placed on the chair where Zhou Yinghuai usually sat.

"Brother." She skipped over with a smile, clinging to Zhu He's back, her sweet voice full of joy and delight, "Brother."

He patted the back of his hand in congratulations, his expression a mix of affection and elder brotherly authority: "Go wash your hands! You haven't even taken off your white coat!"

"I won't take it off!" Zhu Xi tightened her arms, lifted her feet off the ground, and hung from Zhu He's neck. "I won't!"

Congratulations, who was struggling to breathe from her grip, simply got up and easily carried her on his back.

Carry her to the sink, put her down, and let her wash her hands.

Zhu Xi was unwilling and snorted at the doctor, pouting her lips high.

She rubbed her hands together, looking at the congratulations in the mirror.

Light blue linen shirt, khaki trousers.

It looks like someone else's temperament.

Despite his handsome appearance, he still exudes a subtle sense of aloofness.

Zhu Xi squeezed out two pumps of foam, clasped her hands together, and rubbed them very finely.

"Brother, when did you wake up?"

She rushed to the dormitory to check on the patient right after sending him to the ICU; Zhu He was still asleep at that time.

Even the soup that Director Hao brought her, she drank half of it, ate half of it, and shared the rest with others.

"She wasn't sleeping very soundly either," Zhu He said, opening a bottle of water for her and handing her two tissues. "I heard your footsteps."

Zhu Xi wiped her hands, looking very unhappy. "You should have said so earlier! The old man specially made soup for me. What a pity."

Zhu He didn't tell Zhu Xi that he hadn't rested much all day.

Having somehow gotten wind of the news, Zhu Tanzhi knocked on the dormitory door.

Zhu Xi was exhausted from dealing with this not-so-affectionate father, and even more unwilling to let Zhu Tanzhi dirty Zhu Xi's dormitory.

The father and son chatted for ten minutes in the hospital's coffee shop.

After exchanging only a few words, the atmosphere became awkward and stagnant.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had Zhu Tanzhi left than he ran into Yu Qingge and Yu Qinghuan on the third floor.

Congratulations on being stopped and unable to leave.

The three of them returned to the second-floor cafe.

Congratulations did not mention these details at all.

Zhu Xi applied some hand cream and took out one of her hair clips from a box in the wardrobe.

A red bow with two diamonds set in it.

Helpless, Zhu walked up to her and let her pin the bow to her shirt.

Satisfied, Zhu Xi looked around and took many photos with Zhu He, selecting a few to post on WeChat Moments.

The two left the hospital as the heavy rain was about to stop, leaving a misty atmosphere.

The brother and sister made plans to go drinking at a place that Huo Xi had recommended to her a long time ago.

It's a small tavern.

antique.

"Brother, I specially asked someone to save two jars of your favorite chilled peach wine, and some sesame sauce." Zhu Xi listed them off as if they were his own treasures. "You've been eating too much white rice, you must eat and drink more."

"No one will bother us tonight, let's drink until we drop!" Zhu Xi declared fiercely. "Anyone who disturbs us, I'll open their skulls with a scalpel!"

Congratulations: "Great! Great!"

"After we finish eating, we're not in a rush to go back to Yilongju. Let's go to Dijing instead..."

Master Bai appeared out of nowhere.

"Madam," he said politely.

Zhu Xi was surprised. "Master Bai, what are you doing here?"

Master Bai took out a car key; it was for a very unassuming car.

"The gentleman said the weather was bad, it rained often, and having a car would make it more convenient to go out."

"The gentleman also said that it's okay if you drank with Mr. Zhu, as long as you leave the car behind."

Zhou Yinghuai's consideration was so detailed that Zhu Xi had no choice but to accept his kindness.

Congratulations! You reached out and took it, nodded your thanks, and said, "Please thank Mr. Zhou for me."

Master Bai chuckled, "Mr. Zhu, you're too kind. I'll be going now."

Zhu Xi sighed as she watched Master Bai's departing figure. "Brother, I told Zhou Yinghuai this afternoon that I didn't need a car, but he still offered to drive me."

"Did Zhou Yinghuai come to see you this afternoon?"

"Yes, but it's on the way. Zhou Yinghuai's company is called Fanzhou Technology, which collaborates with AI healthcare companies. He often comes to the hospital." Zhu Xi became more talkative when Zhou Yinghuai was mentioned.

She herself was unaware of this.

"He had the idea of ​​collaborating with hospitals a long time ago. Dude, he's amazing."

Zhu He glanced at the car keys. "As far as I know, the dean went on a business trip yesterday to Beicheng for a seminar."

Zhu Xi: "?"

Zhuhe shrugged, ruffled her hair, and said, "Let's go."

Zhu Xi, still standing there, was completely blank. No wonder Director Hao had that look in his eyes back then.

She stood there, stunned.

Why wasn't she angry after being deceived? The water plants actually grew taller.
