Hanging up the phone, Fu Yisi tossed his cell phone aside and picked up a patient's file to review. Holding a black glossy pen made his hands appear even paler and more slender. His handwriting on the white sheet, elegant yet sharp, seed just like him.
Suddenly, the tip of the pen paused slightly, his fingers curled up, faintly revealing bluish veins. A hint of emotion flashed through the deep pools of his dark eyes.
He picked up the cellphone he had thrown aside and called back the recent caller.
Ling Yuxuan, as if he had been waiting on the other end, imdiately picked up the phone.
"Brother! Have you agreed to hang out?"
The noisy voice made Fu Yisi frown; he didn't respond but instead tapped the tabletop with his pen gently but firmly.
Ling Yuxuan: ...
He chickened out.
The spoiled and pampered only son of the Ling Family, fearless of everyone, even his parents couldn't control him. But before Fu Yisi, he acted as ta as a little pony, which both angered and relieved his parents.
They were angry that they couldn't control their long-awaited son even fractionally; relieved that there was still soone he feared, preventing him from going astray.
With a tone of appeasent, Ling Yuxuan chuckled twice, then lowered his voice and asked softly,
"Brother?"
Fu Yisi then stopped tapping, letting Ling Yuxuan breathe a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. The calls were as incessant as the "Band-Tightening Spell" from the Monk Tang.
Of course, Brother was nothing like the kind Monk Tang.
"I'll set the ti; you pick a quiet place. I'll bring soone."
"Soone?"
Ling Yuxuan exaggeratedly raised his voice,
"A woman? Brother, since when do you have a girlfriend?! How co I didn't know; do our eldest brother and second brother know? Brother! You actually have a woman now! Which blinded... no, no, insightful woman fell for my brother!"
Fu Yisi: ...
"Shut up."
The man, sowhat headache from Ling Yuxuan's dramatic nature, felt that half a year away had not diminished it.
"It's your sister-in-law."
He spoke these words perhaps without realizing his tone was no longer so stiff.
"Sister-in-law! When did I..."
Did I get a sister-in-law?
Ling Yuxuan didn't finish the last three words as he rembered that Brother indeed had gotten married. It was a family union, exactly when he had just gone abroad, unable to even object!
Ha, he wouldn't acknowledge any so-called sister-in-law from a family union!
Ling Yuxuan subconsciously branded Ji Sang as a wicked woman who coerced his brother.
But now, Brother was actually planning to bring her to et them!
Was he brain-kicked, or enchanted by that woman?
No, he mustn't let that woman succeed!
"Fine, Brother, bring her along."
He was surely not going to let that woman off easily.
"Brother, let's make it today. I've already called our eldest and second brothers; they're both free. It's my first day back in the country, Brother, you've to make so ti!"
Fu Yisi neither refused nor agreed, only said to wait for his ssage.
After hanging up, he sat quietly for a few minutes. Thinking about what had happened this morning, he was suddenly unsure whether Ji Sang was willing to et his brothers.
However, Fu Yisi was not one to indulge in doubts or delays, he picked up his phone and dialed Ji Sang's number.
Beep, beep, beep...
It went unanswered for a full minute.
His brow furrowed tightly, and before the call could drop naturally, the office door was suddenly opened.
It was Xiao Zhang, the assistant, looking sowhat panicked,
"Dr. Fu, there's been a sudden complication in surgery in the Oncology departnt. Director Zhao needs you there."
Fu Yisi pursed his lips, hung up the phone, and quickly followed.
...
On the other end, just as Ji Sang had arrived at the TV station building, she was worrying about when to find ti to buy a new phone.
"Goddess!"
A voice, not unfamiliar but overly lively, ca through with the breeze from behind, chilling Ji Sang despite the early sumr weather.
Again, this.
Back in school, she had been persistently badgered by Zhang Quan, seeing his approaching figure every mont of every day. Just hearing his voice triggered an inexplicable fear reflex.
With a headache, she turned her gaze, expecting to see Zhang Quan approaching with a 150-degree smile.
"Zhang Quan, can you..."
Ji Sang's words were interrupted as Zhang Quan looked at her with surprise.
"Goddess! You rembered !?"
