After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

Qi Wenshen cursed himself three hundred times in his heart.

He lowered his eyes, suppressing all those dangerous thoughts.

"Cousin, you don't look well. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

After Shen Ruo finished eating, she noticed that Qi Wenshen was in a daze, and out of consideration for their family relationship, she offered her concern.

"It's okay. Go change your clothes after you finish eating. I'll wait for you in the garage. If you're late, just take a taxi."

Shen Ruo said "Oh," and got up to run upstairs.

"I'll be quick, five minutes."

hospital.

Zhou Lan carried two breakfasts into the hall.

She happened to run into her older brother, Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke, wearing a white lab coat, walked over with a smile. "Oh, buying breakfast? I haven't had any yet..."

"snort!"

Zhou Lan rolled her eyes at her and turned to leave.

Zhou Ke was so angry that his teeth ached.

It was just a temporary pause in her card transaction.

Last night, I got a severe scolding from my parents, and my younger sister added fuel to the fire, listing ten of his crimes: stingy, miserly, lacking manners, bullying his sister...

His parents asked him to renew his family card.

Zhou Ke was speechless. "Zhou Lan is just my younger sister, not my daughter. Why should I give her a family card? If anyone should be given one, it should be you."

Then his parents dug up a video of him crying and begging for a younger sister when he was little.

In the video, five-year-old Zhou Ke is hugging a doll, crying with snot running down his face, "I want a sister, I want a sister."

Zhou Ke went silent.

Resigned to my fate, I reactivated the family card that had been suspended.

Zhou Lan felt embarrassed by him last night, so she gave her brother a cold shoulder today.

Zhou Ke chased after her, calling out, "Zhou Lan, are you still angry?"

Zhou Lan turned around and said irritably, "Try inviting your friend to dinner and then saying you don't have enough money when it's time to pay the bill."

"How embarrassing!"

"I, Zhou Lan, have never been so embarrassed in my life."

After saying that, she ignored him and walked away, her high heels clicking on the floor.

She was in a hurry to invite Shen Ruo to breakfast as an apology.

Zhou Ke was left standing there taking a deep breath.

"My younger sister..."

"She's definitely my biological sister."

Even those who were picked up off the street aren't this infuriating.

Zhou Lan pulled Shen Ruo into the nurses' break room and put breakfast on the table.

"Shen Ruo, have breakfast."

Shen Ruo waved her hand, "I've already eaten."

Zhou Lan's eyes widened. "We've already eaten. What time is it?"

Shen Ruo licked her lips. "We hired a part-time cook at home. The shrimp wontons were delicious."

Zhou Lan: "..."

She pouted, still unwilling to give up, and said, "Then I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Again?

I'd rather starve than go.

Shen Ruo shook her head repeatedly, her head bobbing like a rattle drum.

"Let's do it again, my pockets are emptier than my face."

Zhou Lan raised her hand and swore, "This time I promise, I really promise."

"My brother renewed the card."

"There's enough money."

Shen Ruo remained unmoved, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Until I receive my salary, I will not eat out. We have a helper at home who cooks better than any restaurant, so I won't go."

Zhou Lan had no choice but to give up, looking dejected.

"Shen Ruo, please, go! You really don't need to spend any money."

Shen Ruobai glanced at her and said, "You were having a blast like a tycoon last night too."

Zhou Lan choked, and her credibility collapsed beyond repair.

I have a lot of anger inside, but nowhere to vent it.

Just then, the culprit passed by the door.

Zhou Lan suddenly stood up and rushed out.

"Zhou Ke".

"You have the nerve to walk right past me and stop your sister's card? You think it's something to be proud of?"

Zhou Ke: "??"

When will this ever end?

"Everyone at the Japanese restaurant knew I didn't have money to pay the bill last night, I was so embarrassed."

Zhou Ke: "..."

He twitched his lips as he watched his younger sister breathe fire at him.

His ears haven't had a moment's peace since last night.

"I've continued..."

"Is it okay to just continue?"

"The damage has already been done."

"My young heart was deeply wounded."

Zhou Lan stood with her hands on her hips, looking determined not to back down.

The nurses who were passing by all turned their heads and pointed at each other.

Zhou Ke's face darkened.

"Zhou Lan, could you please keep your voice down..."

"cannot."

"I want the whole hospital to know that you're a stingy older brother."

"The stingy older brother who stopped using his sister's credit card."

Zhou Ke: "..."

"So what do you want?"

"Buy me a car, that's compensation."

Zhou Ke ground his back teeth and nodded resignedly.

"OK."

Zhou Lan was finally satisfied.

Hospital cafeteria.

Noon, at the cafeteria of the First Municipal Hospital.

Shen Ruo was eating when suddenly everything went dark.

Shen Ruo raised her head

It is Vice Dean Wei Jing.

Shen Ruo had seen this name in the original novel; it didn't have many scenes, and the character was very simple.

He's the hospital's number one playboy; he flirts with any pretty girl he sees, then runs away without taking any responsibility.

Now this guy is standing right in front of her, smiling like a flower.

Wei Jing smiled and spoke in a friendly voice, "Shen Ruo, may I sit here?"

There were clearly plenty of empty seats in the cafeteria, but instead of sitting down, he came to ask her for them.

A high-EQ approach to starting a conversation, a classic opening line in the world of flirting.

Shen Ruo swallowed the food in her mouth and mentally gave this flower butterfly a score of seven out of ten for her professionalism. She deducted three points because it was too obvious; someone as experienced as her, who had read eight hundred novels, could see through it at a glance.

You can't hit a smiling face; if someone comes to ask for a seat with a smile, she can't give them a cold shoulder.

Shen Ruo smiled and said, "Of course."

Wei Jing sat down opposite her and put down his plate.

Shen Ruo glanced at it; it was a simple meal of clear broccoli, a small portion of blanched broccoli, and a small bowl of white porridge—it looked quite healthy.

She remembered that Wei Jing was a surgical fanatic in orthopedics, had a bad stomach, and couldn't eat greasy food.

Tsk, yet another one risking their life for money.

Wei Jing picked up his chopsticks, not in a hurry to eat, but looking at her with just the right amount of curiosity in his eyes, "Are you living at Qi Wenshen's house now?"

Shen Ruo, "??"

Isn't that too gossipy?

But I still said, "Yes."

"Wouldn't that mean being constantly chilled by Qi Wenshen's cold face? How about we consider moving to the staff dormitory? The atmosphere here is great, the colleagues are friendly, the food is good, and besides, I'm here too."

He pointed to himself at the end.

Shen Ruo almost choked on the seaweed soup.

She coughed twice, smiled and waved her hand, "No, no, I'm doing quite well at my cousin's house."

Wei Jing looked incredulous. "Really? Qi Wenshen is known throughout the entire hospital as a cold-faced devil. You're living under the same roof as him and you say it's great?"

Shen Ruo couldn't stand others belittling her cousin. "My cousin may look cold, but he's actually a very nice person."

Wei Jing raised an eyebrow, sensing the protective tone in the girl's words.

He didn't continue the topic, but instead started talking non-stop.

Once Wei Jing starts talking, he can't stop.

While eating, he tried to find topics to chat with Shen Ruo.

"How did you get to work? By bus? By subway? Or did you ride a shared bike?"

Before Shen Ruo could answer, he continued, "Let me tell you, once I rode a shared bike to work, and the chain fell off halfway there. I pushed the bike for twenty minutes and almost arrived late. Guess what happened next? I started walking from then on and arrived on time every day."

If Shen Ruo hadn't read the original novel, she might have actually believed him. If that Cullinan in the hospital garage were smashed, I wonder how anxious he would be.

But this person is really interesting. He has a good rhythm in his speech and a lot of facial expressions. It's a waste of his talents to be a doctor.
