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

"The food isn't to your liking?"

She blurted out, "I like them all, they suit my taste."

No need to wash or chop vegetables, no need to get your face covered in oily fumes, and you can come home to hot meals and desserts. Who wouldn't like that?

She took out her phone and tapped on her WeChat Moments.

Click, click, take photos.

Four dishes, one soup, and two desserts.

Caption: [Thank you for feeding me, my kind cousin!]

Add a heart emoji at the end.

Qi Wenshen's phone beeped.

He looked down, saw the screen clearly, and his eyes slightly lifted.

Looking up again, the little girl was holding a bowl of mango pomelo sago, her eyes curved into crescents, but the corners of her mouth just started to turn up before inexplicably drooping down, finally turning into an almost inaudible sigh.

Surprise, melancholy, regret.

Three different expressions change in turn within three seconds.

Qi Wenshen: "??"

Is eating dessert really such a complicated experience?

"What's there to regret?"

"what?"

Shen Ruo, with a spoon still in her mouth, looked up blankly.

He tapped the table with his fingertip. "None of these taste good?"

However, the bowl of mango pomelo sago was already empty.

"It's delicious."

"Then what's there to regret?"

He lowered his voice, as if coaxing, yet also scrutinizing.

Shen Ruo gripped the spoon tightly, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

What's there to regret?

It's a pity that such tenderness was bestowed upon my cousin.

Unfortunately, she was greedy and wanted more.

Unfortunately, the man she wanted to seduce ended up benefiting the female lead.

"It's nothing, I just feel so happy to eat two desserts at once."

Qi Wenshen's eyes darkened.

lie.

He didn't ask any more questions, casually tugged at his collar, revealing his long, slender neck and that sexy Adam's apple...

Oh my god, who can resist this?

I really want to rush up and kiss her, why am I not the female lead?

Qi Wenshen glanced at the girl opposite him, seemingly unintentionally. She had been staring at his collar for a while, and the intensity in her eyes was almost burning his neck.

He tapped the table with satisfaction. "What are you daydreaming about? Let's eat."

Shen Ruo quickly pulled the yellow paint out of her mind, her face flushing red.

What is she doing?

Staring intently at someone's Adam's apple?

Oh no, oh no, will Qi Wenshen make a note of this in his little notebook?

Shen Ruo glanced at the person opposite her and saw that his brows were not furrowed and there was a smile in his eyes.

Shen Ruo: "??"

So, should I be angry or not?

The next day, before Shen Ruo even reached the nurses' station, a hand reached out from around the corner and pulled her into the stairwell.

Shen Ruo was pulled so hard she stumbled, but managed to steady herself by holding onto the wall. When she saw it was Zhou Lan, she angrily slapped her, "Zhou Lan, what are you doing? You scared me to death! I thought the patient's family was going to hit me."

Zhou Lan chuckled, clasped her hands together, and said, "Shen Ruo, I'm in urgent need of help. Please lend me a hand."

Tell me about it.

"Help me make an appointment with Qi Wenshen."

"It's just a meal. Just tell him you're eating with him and you'll bring me along."

Shen Ruo looked at her and blinked.

Zhou Lan felt uneasy under her gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Ruo tilted her head and asked in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "Zhou Lan, does this situation feel familiar?"

Seems familiar?

Zhou Lan paused for a moment, her memories gradually returning.

Holy crap!

"My brother made me do this."

She was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.

Shen Ruo nodded, "You Zhou siblings are really from the same assembly line. Your brother asked you to invite me to dinner, and now you're asking me to invite my cousin to dinner. Do you two share the same brain?"

Zhou Lan cried out and covered her face, her ears turning as red as boiled shrimp.

She chuckled dryly, her eyes darting around, and she changed her strategy.

She remembered the post Shen Ruo made on WeChat Moments last night, and read it over and over again, becoming more and more craving it each time.

It's not that I'm craving the food, it's that I'm craving the person who feeds me.

Zhou Lan smiled and took Shen Ruo's arm. "Then let's not make plans. How about I come to your house as a guest? Just for a meal, to see your aunt, and..."

"I'll also check out my cousin."

Shen Ruo finished speaking for her.

"Oh, Shen Ruo, you really know my mind."

"Disgusting, you're the one who's a tapeworm."

Zhou Lan smiled even more brightly, "Yes, yes, it would be best if it were your cousin's baby."

Love makes me blinded.

Shen Ruo glanced at her speechlessly.

This guy even abandoned his humanity in pursuit of Qi Wenshen.

If one plan fails, another will be devised. I wonder if she will give up after she has used up all thirty-six stratagems.

If that kind of dedication were applied elsewhere, they would probably have become an expert by now.

"Will this work?"

Shen Ruo politely declined, "No, that's Qi Wenshen's house. I can't make that decision. If you want to go, ask him."

Zhou Lan's smile faded.

If she could ask Qi Wenshen, would she still need to ask Shen Ruoshuo?

She rarely even had a normal conversation with Qi Wenshen, that cold-faced devil.

If she dared to say it, Qi Wenshen would probably look at her like she was looking at bacteria for a few seconds before turning around and walking away.

"If Qi Wenshen could agree, why would I be asking you?"

Zhou Lan muttered.

"Then I'm afraid I can't help you."

Shen Ru patted her shoulder, walked past her, and exited the stairwell.

Zhou Lan rolled her eyes at her retreating figure, but the corners of her mouth were still curved.

Shen Ruo seems gentle and easy to talk to, but when it comes to matters of principle, her mouth is tighter than a clam shell.

That's why she likes being friends with Shen Ruo.

The morning was very busy.

Shen Ruo tested the blood sugar of the old man in bed number three, changed the dressing for the aunt in bed number five, and also accompanied Teacher Wang on a round of minor surgery.

By the time we were finally able to sit down, it was already past noon.

Wash your hands and get ready to grab something quick at the cafeteria.

"Shen Ruo, I brought an extra portion of the braised pork my mom made."

A male nurse wearing black-rimmed glasses placed the lunchbox in front of her, his ears turning bright red, and then ran away after saying what he had said.

Before Shen Ruo could even say thank you, another cup of milk tea appeared on her right.

"I saw you had the taro boba with 30% sugar last time."

The tall, thin male nurse put down the milk tea, smiled at her, and then turned and left.

Next came a box of fruit.

The strawberries and blueberries were washed clean, and a sticky note on the lid read, "Eat more fruit."

There was no signature, but Shen Ruo recognized the handwriting: Xiao Lin from the emergency department.

A few minutes later, the empty space in front of Shen Ruo was transformed into a dazzling array of items.

The single female nurses around them were so envious they felt like their teeth were going to fall out.

A nurse with a ponytail sighed, her tone nonchalant, "It's the same again. As soon as Shen Ruo arrives, those single men's eyes automatically lock onto us like they have GPS devices, and they don't even glance at us."

"Don't even mention looking him in the eye. Last time I walked past Xiao Lin, he was staring at his phone screen and didn't even look up. But as soon as Shen Ruo appeared, he immediately looked up and asked if she wanted some fruit. Is the preferential treatment really that obvious?"

"I suspect that these male nurses have selective vision. They look at Shen Ruo with super high definition, but when they look at us, they have astigmatism."

Shen Ruo's ears slowly turned red as these people teased her back and forth.

She didn't want to accept these things, but those people dropped them off and ran away.

What can she do?

Should we chase after them and return it?

Shen Ruo pushed the pile of food to the middle, "Let's all eat together."
