Chapter 395 He clearly loves being a doctor

Such sweet words, in theory, are something that Pei Yan would find very difficult to express.

But Shen Zhaoyi simply nodded after hearing this.

"Since you don't mind, then come and contact Cheng Yubai to see if he's willing to do you this favor."

"Huh? Me?" Pei Yan suddenly regretted not listening to Shen Zhaoyi at the airport and going straight back to the convoy; perhaps this situation could have been avoided.

Yesterday's group messages showed that just knowing he was also in Langdu, the other party never stopped attacking him.

If they knew they needed his help, wouldn't they have put on airs?

But as it turns out, this is not the case.

Faced with a hard-won opportunity, how could Cheng Yubai act impulsively and cause trouble for Pei Yan?

Since she hadn't replied to the WeChat message, Shen Zhaoyi decided to call instead, thinking that as long as she didn't face the person directly, it wouldn't be awkward.

However, the waiting tone rang for a very long time...

Cheng Yubai looked at the caller ID, silently calculating the time, and only answered the call in the last two seconds. When he spoke, his tone was devoid of emotion.

"Hey?"

Shen Zhaoyi ignored his feigned aloofness and naturally started talking: "Are you off work?"

"Hmm." Cheng Yubai couldn't figure out the purpose of the call, so he could only continue to answer.

Just when Pei Yan thought the two sides would remain polite for a while, he heard the person next to him bring up his own affairs without warning.

I first briefly explained the current situation, then introduced the thorny problem we've encountered, revealing all the inside scoops.

"So what?" Cheng Yubai's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Why are you telling me all this?"

I thought Shen Zhaoyi would take the opportunity to ask for some connections, but the next second, the call was switched to speakerphone mode.

Pei Yan stared in surprise at the phone held up in front of him.

"What are you standing there for? Speak up!" Shen Zhaoyi gestured with her eyes.

Urged on by her, Pei Yan gritted his teeth and reluctantly greeted her first: "Ahem, Dr. Cheng, um... have you eaten?"

This is a good question.

Shen Zhaoyi's vision went black upon hearing this.

Cheng Yubai, contrary to his usual behavior, burst out laughing.

"I haven't eaten," he replied politely. "What, are you going to treat me?"

Just as Pei Yan was considering how to reply, the person on the other end rejected him first.

"I'd rather not talk to you."

“However…” Cheng Yubai pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: “You could do me the honor of meeting the person next to you.”

Pei Yan looked at Shen Zhaoyi and knew that this guy was full of bad ideas. No matter what he said, the topic would eventually come back to the same point.

Do I absolutely have to eat this meal?

You really have to eat it.

Not only did she want to eat, but Shen Zhaoyi also listened to Cheng Yubai's suggestion, tidied herself up briefly, and went out to keep the appointment.

Pei Yan, left at home, ignored Xu Meng's sympathetic gaze and went to the garage to borrow a car to leave, without suspecting the extra few cars.

Just as I returned to the team and told Xiaoyuan about the reason for my sudden departure that day, I was blocked by Qiu Ze as I stepped out of the office.

"Brother, are you back?"

"Hmm." Pei Yan noticed that there was no one else around him, and then looked behind him before asking, "Did you come to see me?"

I thought Qiu Ze would say yes, but the child just shook his head and gave two words—

"Passing by."

Pei Yan was skeptical.

The two walked towards the cafeteria. On the way, Qiu Ze showed great curiosity about the few days he had been gone. "Brother, what exactly did you go off to do? You only came back after a week."

"The ones that weren't resolved before."

"So, is it all sorted out now?"

"nailed it."

Seeing that Qiu Ze was determined to get to the bottom of things, Pei Yan became quite annoyed and poured a large spoonful of braised pork into his bowl, trying to shut him up with food.

The atmosphere at this dinner party wasn't very good, but things were inexplicably harmonious at Shen Zhaoyi's place.

Cheng Yubai didn't book a restaurant; he just gave the location of the entrance to the residential area and asked Lao Wang to bring the person over.

When we arrived at our destination, before we even got out of the car, we saw him standing under a tree waiting for us.

"Why aren't you wearing your usual formal suits today?" Shen Zhaoyi stepped forward, her gaze lingering on his attire.

A simple T-shirt and trousers, so casual I almost didn't recognize her.

"I thought you would like this." Cheng Yubai hadn't forgotten that this person always said he was just pretending to be serious. After taking that hand, he walked in another direction and added, "This outfit will be more convenient later."

Just as Shen Zhaoyi was wondering where she could relieve herself, she was led into a vegetable market.

I haven't been to this vibrant place in so long that even hearing the hawkers' cries makes me feel a little disoriented.

"You mean you're going to cook dinner yourself?"

"if not?"

Cheng Yubai walked in with practiced ease, and after a quick stroll, he came out with all the ingredients he needed for the evening.

After dining with Shen Zhaoyi twice, he had a pretty good grasp of her tastes.

Although it doesn't look as good as what you get in a restaurant, it's definitely not bad to eat.

Back home, the rented two-bedroom apartment was decorated in a cool color scheme, which was very similar to the feeling Cheng Yubai gave off.

The only bright spot was on Shen Zhaoyi's feet.

She heard busy sounds coming from the kitchen, and leaned against the door frame, staring blankly at the figure's back.

Unlike Su Ye's steadfastness, Cheng Yubai's cooking lacked that warm feeling; the sound of the knife cutting on the cutting board was inexplicably unsettling.

Shrinking her neck, Shen Zhaoyi left the kitchen and turned to visit other places.

The living room was too simply furnished; apart from the tissue box, nothing was displayed in the open.

As for the study, it was exactly the same as what I saw in the live broadcast room. In the area not captured on camera, there was a small photo wall.

Shen Zhaoyi walked over and looked closely at the portraits. Most of them were group photos of Cheng Yubai at the medical school. In the center, he was wearing a white coat and his smile looked very sincere. From the small print below, it could be seen that the photos were taken when he first started his internship.

He clearly loves being a doctor so much...

Thinking about why he left the hospital, Shen Zhaoyi sighed.

There were only two people for dinner, and since it was at home, Cheng Yubai didn't make anything too complicated.

Sit down facing each other and let a bottle of red wine decanted.

"Speak, what brings you to me today?" Cheng Yubai took the initiative to start the conversation.

Shen Zhaoyi took a swig of her drink and suggested that he take the lead in organizing a dinner party so that she could meet Qin Huai.

"Director Qin?"

"You really are something, willing to use even this connection for Pei Yan."

Cheng Yubai looked at Shen Zhaoyi with an ambiguous expression, unable to understand what she was thinking. On the surface, she seemed cold and indifferent, but everything she did was for the sake of others.

And, most importantly—

“You didn’t even reply to a message while you were abroad, but now that you remember I’m useful, you’ve come to me on your own initiative.”

"Shen Zhaoyi, do you think this is reasonable?"
