You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Upon seeing the older man, Jiang Che thought for a moment, then strode over to him.

Since we've run into each other here, it must be fate, so we should definitely say hello.

Besides, he was hoping to continue receiving guidance from the older man, so this was a perfect opportunity to build goodwill with him.

The middle-aged man was standing with his back to Jiang Che at the door of a hospital room.

His face was full of sorrow as he paced slowly down the corridor by the door, his hands behind his back. Every now and then he would peek inside from outside the door, his back view exuding an indescribable loneliness.

"Uncle?"

Jiang Che approached and tentatively called out.

The man paused, then turned around.

Upon seeing Jiang Che, the uncle was taken aback at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It's you, young man."

The middle-aged man recognized Jiang Che and forced a smile.

"What a coincidence, uncle. I didn't expect to run into you here." Jiang Che smiled and nodded.

"It's quite a coincidence."

The middle-aged man sighed, and couldn't help but glance back into the ward.

"Are you here...to see a doctor?"

Jiang Che followed his gaze and saw that there were three beds in the ward. The two beds closest to the door were empty, while the bed at the innermost part was covered by a curtain, making it impossible to see the situation.

"It wasn't me."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and was about to take one out to smoke, but he quickly remembered that this was a hospital, so he could only put the cigarette pack back in his pocket.

"It's my husband. He has an old ailment, so he came to the hospital for a few days to recuperate."

The middle-aged man's tone betrayed his undeniable weariness.

Judging from the symptoms, the illness must be quite serious, or rather, quite distressing.

Jiang Che didn't press for details, and could only offer a comforting remark: "Good people are always blessed, so don't worry."

"Thank you for your kind words."

The middle-aged man gave a wry smile, then looked Jiang Che up and down. "And you? What are you doing here?"

He pointed to the several lunchboxes in Jiang Che's hand.

"Judging from your appearance, you're here to keep someone company while they're in bed?"

I guess so.

Jiang Che picked up the insulated bag in his hand and shook it. "A family member is sick and hospitalized. My sister happens to be a doctor here, so I went to the cafeteria to get some food and was just about to bring it to her."

Regarding Su Qinghe, he simply explained that it was for his family, and didn't bother to go into details.

Upon hearing this, the uncle nodded approvingly, "Good job, young man, you're quite filial."

Upon hearing Jiang Che mention his family, the uncle naturally assumed that the person hospitalized was Jiang Che's elder.

These days, young people who have the patience to take care of others in hospitals are extremely rare.

The older man couldn't help but feel even more admiration for the young man in front of him.

"Of course." Jiang Che smiled and didn't say anything more.

The two stood in the corridor and chatted for a few minutes.

Although the uncle wasn't in a good mood at first, he gradually relaxed after chatting with Jiang Che for a while, and his smile became more pronounced.

"Alright, uncle, you're busy."

Jiang Che glanced at the time; they had been chatting for almost ten minutes, and the food would get cold if it wasn't brought over soon.

"I still have to deliver food to my sister. See you later."

"Okay, go quickly, don't let the food get cold."

The older man waved his hand, not trying to stop him.

Jiang Che nodded and turned to continue walking towards the doctor's office.

I had only taken a few steps when I heard the rapid sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor.

Jiang Che didn't notice the voice at first, but just as he was about to turn the corner, a tall figure in a white coat walked quickly towards him.

The woman held a medical record folder in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, and she walked with a brisk pace.

It was Bai Yuning.

Jiang Che thought to himself that there were quite a few coincidences today, so he slowed down and went to meet them.

Just as he was about to call out to someone, Bai Yuning walked right past him without even glancing at him.

"Well……"

Is it that they really didn't see it, or are they pretending not to see it?

Jiang Che's lips twitched slightly as he felt ignored, and his hand, which had been raised halfway up, froze awkwardly in mid-air.

"Dr. Bai, you've arrived."

At the same time, the uncle's voice sounded from behind.

Jiang Che turned around and saw that the uncle who had been chatting and laughing with him just now immediately changed his expression to one of politeness and respect when he saw Bai Yuning.

"Mr. Liu."

Bai Yuning stopped and opened the medical record folder in her hand. "I've looked at the test results that just came out. Your husband's blood sugar is well controlled. You can add some whole grains to dinner tonight, but the amount should still be controlled."

His tone was professional and capable, exuding an unquestionable sense of authority.

He was completely different from his cousin who usually liked to tease him.

"Okay, okay, I've got it all written down. Thank you, Dr. Bai."

The uncle nodded repeatedly. In front of Bai Yuning, even the usually calm and composed uncle seemed like a primary school student.

"Also, the insulin dosage needs to be adjusted. The nurse will come and do it in a bit."

As Bai Yuning spoke, she wrote something on the medical record, "If you feel unwell at night, please ring the bell to call the nurse to check on you."

"I understand, thank you so much." The man clasped his hands together, looking very grateful.

After explaining the patient's condition, Bai Yuning closed the medical record folder and breathed a sigh of relief as if she had completed her task.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to her office, she turned her head and met a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Jiang Che held a bag in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket, leaning against the wall, standing two meters away and looking at her.

"..."

Bai Yuning was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" she asked instinctively.

She was so focused on the patient that she didn't even notice the person standing in the corridor.

"Wasn't it all to bring food to my dear sister?"

Jiang Che rolled his eyes at her, annoyed, and took two steps forward. "I've been standing here for ages, can't you really see me?"

"Why am I looking at you? You can't cure my illness."

Bai Yuning rolled her eyes, her previous elite demeanor vanishing instantly, replaced by a smiling face.

"Alright, alright, Dr. Bai, you're such a busy person. It's just that I came at the wrong time. Is that alright?"

Jiang Che was too lazy to argue with her, so he simply handed her the insulated bag in his hand, "Here, your dinner."

"I practically ran myself ragged trying to bring you this hot meal."

Bai Yuning didn't stand on ceremony, took it, and snorted, "You've got a conscience, kid."

She weighed it in her hand; it was quite heavy.

"What delicious food did you buy?"

"See for yourself, it has meat and vegetables, ensuring a balanced diet."

The siblings were chatting away in the corridor, and this seemingly ordinary scene left Uncle Liu, who hadn't left yet, completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Jiang Che, then at Bai Yuning, and was somewhat incredulous that the usually serious and earnest Dr. Bai was actually joking and laughing with this young man.

What's the relationship between these two?

"that……"

Uncle Liu couldn't help but interject, asking, "Dr. Bai, who is this?"

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Yuning remembered that there were patients' family members nearby.

She immediately suppressed her smile and became more serious. "Oh, Mr. Liu, this is my younger brother."

"younger brother?"

Uncle Liu's eyes widened. What a coincidence!

The young man he met today turned out to be the younger brother of his wife's attending physician.
