Chapter 564: 273 Autumn Thoughts (First Watch)
The three-day exam period passed quickly.
Ming Jing carried her backpack and walked out of the school gate.
A car stopped at the entrance of the school, and a young girl got out, “Ye Zhen.”
Bo Lianye smiled and walked over: “Ningning, you’re back.”
“Today is Aunt Bo and Uncle Bo’s birthday, of course I have to co back.”
The two hugged each other, and soon separated, looking like a pair of close sisters with great affection.
Bai Weining’s gaze shifted to Ming Jing.
Her eyes sparkled, and she greeted with a smile: “Hi, Ming Jing, do you still rember ?”
Ming Jing nodded faintly, without any intention of chatting with her. She walked past the two, her figure gradually becoming more and more distant.
Bai Weining stared at Ming Jing’s back until her figure faded into the mist.
Bo Lianye asked: “Ningning, do you know her?”
Bai Weining touched the loose hair on her temple, her sweet smile like a sumr breeze, “We t once at my grandmother’s birthday banquet.”
Bai Weining’s mother ca from the Gao family of Jiangzhou, and Ming Jing was a socialite from Jiangzhou, so it wasn’t strange that they had t before.
The two got into the car, and Bai Weining asked: “Ye Zhen, will Brother Qu co tonight?”
Bo Lianye shook her head with a smile: “I knew that your purpose for coming back wasn’t so simple, who are you trying to fool?”
Bai Weining playfully wrapped her arm around Bo Lianye’s, leaning her entire body onto her, her sweet voice like a coquettish protest: “My dear Ye Zhen, please tell .”
“Anyway, I have invited him, whether he cos or not is up to him.”
Looking at Bai Weining’s expectant face, Bo Lianye swallowed the rest of what she was going to say.
Forget it, let’s not discourage her.
Given Qu Feitai’s personality, he probably wouldn’t co, for one.
Secondly, it was related to Qu Feitai’s elder brother, Qu Lanting. Although Bo Lianye’s knowledge was limited, she was perceptive and could usually make judgnts based on her father’s conversations.
“By the way, what’s the story behind Ming Jing and Lanzhou’s scandal?” Bo Lianye asked.
Bai Weining’s smile grew even sweeter, nonchalantly saying: “What story? It’s just those dia outlets causing trouble.”
Bo Lianye said, “You joined the entertainnt industry to follow his footsteps, but so far, there hasn’t been any progress between you two. Don’t end up losing him to soone else.”
“What’s mine will always be mine, what’s not won’t be no matter how hard I try.”
Bai Weining showed off her newly done nails, asking with a smile: “Do they look nice?”
Bo Lianye frowned, “Ningning, you’re too careless.”
Bai Weining curled her lips, “When I was eleven, I visited my cousin’s house in Chunxi Court for the first ti and got bored listening to the adults talking. I sneaked out and heard a wonderful, heavenly voice. I thought that a person with such a touching voice must be an angel.”
It was an autumn afternoon, the maple forest ablaze with color. A young man sat beneath a tree, holding a guitar, singing a tender song.
That scene remained in her mory forever.
Later, when he made his debut, he rewrote that song and published it. It wasn’t as popular as his other songs, but it was her favorite. On nights filled with longing, she would play it on loop.
Until his later release in white clothes took the world by storm, everyone knew that he had a girl he secretly loved.
But her secret love stayed forever in that song, “Autumn Thoughts.”
“Ye Zhen, do you know? That day, I so wanted to muster the courage to walk up to him.”
Having hesitated then, she never found the courage to take that step again.
Bo Lianye gently put her arm around her shoulders, soothing softly: “It’s okay, you’re both still young, there’s plenty of ti.”
Bai Weining’s eyes were like water, as if a pebble had been thrown in, causing gentle ripples.
She turned to look at the scenery passing by outside the car window, the naked branches on the roadside, and the desolation of the flowerbeds.
“I won’t allow anyone to take him away from .”
She said softly.
—
“Ming Jing, wait for .” Liu Muxue panted as she caught up.
“Wasn’t the girl with Bo Lianye just now Bai Weining? I knew she looked familiar, it was her.”Bai Weining’s ST girl group is considered the pinnacle of idol groups in the country, and anyone familiar with the entertainnt industry would certainly know her, the popular leader.
Sweet and sassy, ST group’s darling and entertainnt industry’s little princess Bai Weining.
Liu Muxue touched her chin: “She seems to have a good relationship with Bo Lianye.”
Ming Jing quietly crossed the road and entered the hotel.
Ye Zhen and Lan Huixin joined the group, followed by Zheng Qing who was concerned for the two of them. The room suddenly beca quiet.
Liu Muxue changed her clothes, grabbed so chips and sneaked into Ming Jing’s room. Seeing Ming Jing holding a book again, she couldn’t help but say, “We finally finished our exams. How about we go out and relax tonight?”
“I heard there’s a nice bar nearby, and there’s a band playing tonight. It’ll be lively. Let’s check it out,” she suggested.
Ming Jing, not a fan of crowded places, shook her head.
Liu Muxue snatched the book from Ming Jing’s hand and tossed it aside: “You’re coming with .”
Eventually, Ming Jing was dragged out by Liu Muxue.

Bo Yuxun walked down from the operating table, changed out of his surgical gown, and left the room.
“Doctor, how’s my mother?” A middle-aged man eagerly rushed over and blocked Bo Yuxun’s way.
Bo Yuxun said gently, “The operation was successful. She will be transferred to the ICU for 24 hours of observation. If there are no problems, she can be transferred to a regular ward. Don’t worry.”
Despite his imposing figure, the man’s voice was gentle as a spring breeze, easily calming the other party’s anxious heart.
The man was wearing a mask, only revealing his forehead, eyebrows, and eyes.
The other party quickly expressed his gratitude: “Thank you, doctor. Thank you.”
“It’s my duty,” Bo Yuxun replied and walked away.
The man looked at Bo Yuxun’s tall figure and exclaid, “Not only is this doctor highly skilled, but he’s also a very good person.”
Qi Ka, who ca out after him, said, “Of course, he’s our youngest director in the Departnt of Cardiac Surgery, internationally renowned for his dical skills. With Director Bo performing the surgery on your mother personally, she’ll definitely be fine.”
The other party was astonished: “He looks so young, yet he’s already a director?”
All the departnt directors he had seen were old n in their 50s. This young man, who seed to have just graduated from college, actually made him doubt his credibility at first. But it seed he was just overthinking things.
“Our Director Bo is a genius. He beca an associate chief physician at the age of 24. So many people are fighting to have Director Bo perform their surgeries,” Qi Ka said and quickly left.
The man was left standing there, looking amazed.
Han Dongdong said, “Qi Ka, do you have any idea how many people ca to our departnt during the hours you were in surgery?”
Han Dongdong exaggeratedly held up ten fingers: “We could form a choir! Our departnt has never been this popular. Ever since Director Bo ca back, our once-cold Departnt of Cardiac Surgery has beco a bustling market. The charm of Director Bo is limitless. It’s driven all the won in the hospital crazy. Even the mother cat from the kitchen is trying to sneak into our departnt. It’s terrifying.”
Qi Ka said, “Doctor Bo deserves it.”
Han Dongdong shook his head: “But Doctor Bo is too cold.”
“You don’t understand. Doctor Bo is very gentle with patients. That’s where his charm lies. If he was nice to everyone, he’d be central air conditioning. I’m sure that if Doctor Bo has soone he likes, that woman will be the happiest woman in the whole world,” said Qi Ka.
“Ahem,” a cough suddenly ca from behind.
Qi Ka and Han Dongdong felt a chill down their spines and turned around stiffly. “Dr… Dr. Xu.”
Qi Ka drooped his head, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself.
Xu Shuhua said kindly, “Luckily, Sister Cai isn’t here. Otherwise, you two would be lectured again today. You even dare to gossip about the director. You guys really are… ”
Xu Shuhua shook his head.
“Dr. Xu, we won’t do it again. Please don’t tell Sister Cai,” they pleaded.
Nurse manager Cai Rong was nicknad Cai Yama by her colleagues.
“Fine, just be more careful in the future,” Xu Shuhua said as he walked away.
He knocked on the office door, and the man inside, busy writing his surgical notes, said without looking up, “Co in.”
Xu Shuhua walked in with a thermos and placed it on the desk in front of him. “I knew you didn’t have lunch. Eat while it’s hot, or you’ll have stomach problems again.”
Bo Yuxun finished writing the last word, put the notes away, and opened the thermos.
Abalone rice from Dechang Building.
“Thank you for your generosity.”
