Following behind Chen Yu like a little lackey, Kohinata Kaori walked out of Professor Kube's office with him, heading towards the General Surgery office.
"I can't believe that in just a few years of furthering my studies in the United Kingdom, you've already beco a professor, Brother Yu! That's really amazing! By the way, where's our second senior brother?" When Kohinata Kaori heard that Chen Yu was already a professor, she was filled with admiration for him.
Hearing Kohinata Kaori ask about "second senior brother," Chen Yu couldn't help but smile and explained, "Naoki went back to his hotown and took over his family's farm; he's now in Kumamoto! He did co to Tokyo last month for my wedding, but it's a pity that you weren't there at that ti."
Kohinata Kaori was Chen Yu's junior at the University of Tokyo, but back then, both Chen Yu and Inomata Naoki were doctoral students, while Kohinata Kaori was just an ordinary undergraduate student at the University of Tokyo dical School.
At that ti, Professor Kube would lecture in Kohinata Kaori's class, and Chen Yu often acted as Professor Kube's assistant, so through various interactions, Kohinata Kaori beca well-acquainted with Chen Yu.
As for why Kohinata Kaori called Inomata Naoki "second senior brother," it was because Chen Yu had once told her the story of "Journey to the West," and so Inomata Naoki naturally beca the second senior brother.
"Ah! Brother Yu, you're married now! It's such a sha I couldn't attend your wedding feast! I wish I had co back a month earlier!" Kohinata Kaori didn't harbor any romantic feelings toward Chen Yu but simply admired him as a respected senior brother. She felt very regretful about missing Chen Yu's wedding and her mood visibly dropped a notch.
However, Kohinata Kaori soon cheered up and asked Chen Yu eagerly, "So who is your bride, Brother Yu? Don't tell she's one of the senior sisters from school? I rember back then there were several senior sisters who really liked you! So even asked to pass on love letters to you."
"Love letters? How co I never received any? Did you, the ssenger, lose them?" Chen Yu made a little joke, but also explained to her, "She's a colleague I t later. She's also a doctor at this hospital and was just promoted to associate professor recently, so she should be considered your senior."
"Eh?! She's a senior? It turns out you like mature won, Brother Yu! I used to think I had a chance!" Kohinata Kaori showed a curious expression on her face, clearly very interested in Chen Yu's wife.
Hearing Kohinata Kaori's words, Chen Yu just shook his head with a smile, "Don't even think about it; if I had not t her, I might never have gotten married."
"Eh? Is this senior that amazing? She actually made you, Brother Yu—who planned to never get married—willingly marry her? It can't be because you got her pregnant and had to marry her, can it?" Kohinata Kaori had a teasing expression, but since she had been close enough with Chen Yu and Inomata Naoki to speak without reservations, this kind of remark wasn't too far over the line.
However, hearing Kohinata Kaori's words, Chen Yu thought of how Jounouchi Hiromi was fixated on the matter of children lately and imdiately pressed the bridge of his nose, showing a hint of headache as he cautioned Kohinata Kaori, "Listen, Kaori, never ntion the word 'children' in front of my wife, your sister-in-law, okay? She has been almost obsessed with wanting kids lately."
"Ah?!" Although she usually spoke without much filter, Kohinata Kaori's laughter ceased and she beca serious upon hearing Chen Yu's words, "Brother Yu, you've been married for less than a month, right? And sister-in-law is already... thinking about kids?"
"That's why, don't bring up children around her; if she gets anxious, your Brother Yu will suffer! Understand?" Chen Yu cautioned Kohinata Kaori, though his tone was still mostly jesting, as Jounouchi Hiromi was not the type to be unreasonable.
The reason Chen Yu spoke like this to Kohinata Kaori was rely to avoid upsetting Jounouchi Hiromi and to share a light-hearted joke with Kohinata Kaori, whom he hadn't seen for a long ti.
However, Kohinata Kaori took Chen Yu's words seriously, and with equal seriousness, she nodded and committed to mory what her senior had said.
The two did not say much more, and just like that, they arrived at the General Surgery's office.
"Professor!" "Professor, good morning!" The doctors in the office all hurried to greet Chen Yu as he walked in.
However, amid the greetings, the male doctors in the office couldn't help but stealthily glance at Kohinata Kaori, standing behind Chen Yu. The pretty and cute female doctor undoubtedly caught their attention.
"Ahem, it seems everyone has noticed, so I won't keep you in suspense. This here is Doctor Kaori, and from today, she will beco a mber of our General Surgery. Please give her a warm round of applause," Chen Yu introduced her to everyone, leading the applause himself.
Driven by hormones, everyone clapped very enthusiastically upon hearing Chen Yu's words.
Seeing a few guys already struggling to contain their excitent, Chen Yu felt compelled to add, "Kaori was my junior at the University of Tokyo, and until recently, she was in England at..."
Chen Yu faltered here, and Kohinata Kaori quickly whispered to him, "Queen Mary University of London."
"Ahem... she was furthering her studies at Queen Mary University of London, and only returned to Japan this year. She's an exceptional talent, and I hope you all will look after her well. If I co to know that soone has bullied my junior... I'll deal with you accordingly," Chen Yu threatened sowhat, ensuring that no one dared to bully his junior.
At this mont, Kohinata Kaori quickly stepped forward to avoid leaving a bad impression and greeted everyone very courteously, "Hello everyone, I'm Kohinata Kaori, please take good care of from now on!"
"Not at all, since you're the Professor's junior, we wouldn't dare to bully you!" Doctor Higashiyama quickly echoed Chen Yu's words while also welcoming Kohinata Kaori.
And Kaji Hideki quickly ca over, playing the gentleman offering his attentions to Kohinata Kaori, "May I ask which specialty are you interested in, Miss Kaori? Are you interested in laparoscopy? If you are, I have a surgery coming up, and I could invite you to be my assistant, perhaps?"
"Miss Kaori, please co sit over here. This desk used to belong to Professor Jounouchi, but she has now moved to her own office. You can use this desk," Kaji Hideki's friend, Glasses Doctor, seed unable to tolerate Kaji Hideki offering attentions, and showed Kohinata Kaori to the desk.
Seeing this, Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and called out to Kohinata Kaori, "Kaori, put your stuff on the desk, we'll tidy up later. I'll introduce you to the other professors of General Surgery."
Upon seeing this, Kohinata Kaori quickly apologized to the others and swiftly followed Chen Yu, leaving the office.
