Chapter 308: Chapter 308: The Hospital is Not a Place to Recognize Relatives
The girl with Zhou Lei is Huang ngxue, dressed like a typical college student, wearing a pair of glasses for shortsightedness. She has average looks but seems rather gentle and tranquil. She speaks politely and is a stark contrast to Deng Wenwen’s vivacious and bold personality.
She might not be as beautiful as Deng Wenwen, but she possesses a certain aura that Deng Wenwen lacks.
Zhou Lei ntioned that Huang ngxue is his senior by one year at the university. Judging by their ambiguous relationship and Zhou Lei’s thoughtful care towards her, it seed he was in the pursuit stage of the relationship. It wasn’t long before they would beco an official couple.
It appears Deng Wenwen is bound to be heartbroken for so ti.
Zhou Lei had previously spoken of his desire to beco a civil servant. If that were the case, Huang ngxue would indeed be more suitable for him, or rather, he believes Huang ngxue is more fitting.
Tong Yao, although she understood, chose not to reveal the truth. Instead, she strived to maintain a lively atmosphere. Zhou Lei also noticed Deng Wenwen’s mood was off. He had a faint suspicion about why this might be the case, but did not confront it. After dinner, he left with his senior.
"Sister Yaoyao, is Zhou Lei going to get a girlfriend?" Deng Wenwen, despite her naivety, understood that Zhou Lei treated Huang ngxue and her differently. He treated her like a younger sister but was tender towards Huang ngxue, looking after her in every possible way.
When Huang ngxue sat down, Zhou Lei would wipe down the table for her and would constantly co up with topics to keep her entertained, avoiding boredom. However, when he was with Deng Wenwen, he’d always act like an elder brother, giving her lectures and ntoring her.
The contrast was too obvious, making it easy to tell who he liked.
Tong Yao stated straightforwardly: "Possibly, he believes Huang ngxue is more suitable for him. Zhou Lei is a very thoughtful person. When choosing a companion, he probably also considers soone who can provide him with beneficial assistance."
From her brief interaction with Huang ngxue, Tong Yao thought her manner was refined. Despite her ordinary attire, her delicate fingers made it evident she ca from a decent family and hadn’t done much hard labor growing up. Zhou Lei’s family isn’t as privileged. If he hopes to enter politics, naturally, he would choose a partner who could benefit his career.
Initially, Tong Yao did not want to give voice to these thoughts. However, seeing Deng Wenwen’s sadness, she decided to share them anyway.
Feelings can’t be forced. Deng Wenwen is still young; she will et the right person eventually. Realizing this early on may not be the worst thing for her.
Deng Wenwen, being only 18 or 19 years old, had difficulty fully understanding Tong Yao’s remarks. Deng Wenwen, depressed, mistakenly assud that Zhou Lei sought a partner with matching capabilities. "If I had studied properly and made it into university, would Lei have considered
as well?" she asked.
Tong Yao shook her head gently in comfort and replied, "I don’t know. But you should not overthink this. There is still a long road ahead and many people to et. Who knows, a few months later, you may feel Zhou Lei is not suitable for you."
"But I feel so sad right now." Deng Wenwen, her eyes watering, replied gloomily, "Sister Yaoyao, thank you for treating
to a al. I’m going back now."
She had arrived with joy, only to leave dejected. The saying "excited to co, disappointed to leave" fit her perfectly. She needed ti to reflect on these matters.
"Go ahead!"
Tong Yao didn’t stop her. Others shouldn’t interfere in matters of the heart. Deng Wenwen and Zhou Lei had never dated; they were rely showing mutual interest. However, as long as Deng Wenwen matures, it won’t take long for her to move on.
After all, it wasn’t a bad thing for Deng Wenwen to have known Zhou Lei. At the very least, Zhou Lei managed to transform Deng Wenwen and helped her get through her teenage rebellion.
But at this mont, Tong Yao, who was still handling others’ emotional issues, was oblivious to the fact that soone was invading her ho...
Lin Man, being scolded by Shi Yan, had been behaving for a few days. She knew it was unethical to break up a family unit, and she was aware that Si Chen was her cousin’s husband. However, she was unable to stop herself from constantly thinking about Si Chen. After wrestling with her thoughts for a few days, she decided to visit Si Chen.
To make it look like a casual encounter, she deliberately chose to visit his clinic, pretending to be a patient.
Upon reaching the door of the ward, Lin Man took a deep breath and entered. Si Chen was in the middle of instructing a patient about how to use certain dications. Lin Man greedily watched Si Chen. In her eyes, Si Chen seed like an angel sent from the heavens, his entire being radiating a dazzling aura. Every move he made tugged at her heartstrings.
If she had considered him a prince in distress while they were in Qing City, right now, he seed like a high and mighty King. Lin Man felt a sense of excitent stirring within her. She thought that if she missed out on Si Chen, she may never et a man like him in her lifeti.
"It’s your turn now. Don’t just stand there - we’re all waiting in line."
Soone behind her suddenly gave Lin Man a nudge, jolting her back to reality. She hastily approached Si Chen, montarily forgetting to act surprised. As she placed her dical records on the table, Si Chen coldly questioned her.
"What’s troubling you?"
"My...my back hurts." The situation was not proceeding as Lin Man had imagined, causing her to feel sowhat flustered.
Still maintaining his focused stare on the dical records, Si Chen continued to inquire, "Where does it hurt?"
A bit out of her elent, Lin Man randomly responded, "My lumbar vertebrae."
Before Si Chen could reply, she, trying to conceal her excitent, stated, "Doctor Si, do you rember ? I am Lin Man. You saved
in Qing City. I...I left a note for you. I don’t know if they gave it to you. I didn’t expect we would et again here. It’s such a coincidence."
Si Chen replied in an indifferent tone, "If it’s your vertebra that’s troubling you, please go to the Orthopedic Departnt. Take a left when you step out, it’s the third departnt."
Lin Man felt awkward and rejected when he ignored her and shifted the conversation. "Doctor Si, do you really not rember ? I am Lin Man, the one you saved from beneath the rubble. You even shielded
from a slab of stone. Have you forgotten about that?"
If it weren’t for the fact that Si Chen’s face was deeply etched into her mind, she would have started doubting her own rembrance of him.
Encountering a person that you once saved is a rare connection. Shouldn’t a regular person be excited by such an encounter?
At the very least, they wouldn’t be this apathetic, right?
Maintaining his indifference, Si Chen closed the dical record, pushing it back towards Lin Man. He frowned, stating, "This is a hospital, not a venue for identifying family. Please do not hinder other patients from seeking dical assistance."
"I am here for a dical examination as well." Lin Man turned beet red, the humiliation shattering her heart into pieces.
Si Chen repeated himself, colder this ti, "Please visit the Orthopedics Departnt if you have issues with your spine."
"Young lady, the doctor already made it clear. If you have pain in your spine, you should go to the Orthopedics Departnt. Don’t delay our dical check-ups here." An older woman waiting in line behind Lin Man was growing impatient and urged Lin Man to leave.
The younger ladies nowadays really have no sha. They see a handso doctor and have the audacity to blatantly make advances. Despite her old age, she was not blind. This young lass was doing perfectly fine and didn’t have any illness. She was just here to deliberately charm the doctor.
Luckily, the dear Doctor was not that kind of person.
"..."
Feeling utterly humiliated, Lin Man wished a hole would open up on the ground and swallow her up; her eyes turned red. Grabbing her dical record, she made her exit from the clinic in a daze.
"She should have left a while ago." The older woman behind Lin Man grumbled, hurrying to sit before the doctor. "Doctor, can you take a look at this? A piece of tal accidentally scraped my leg. It’s been a few days now, and it hasn’t healed. Instead, it started festering."
