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

She then gave a sly laugh, "Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped."

……

Lin Peipei couldn't sit still and tugged at Huo Xufan's sleeve, "Huo Xufan, I haven't seen a doctor yet because of my cold."

Huo Xufan didn't even turn his head. "Then go see a doctor. I'm not a doctor."

"It's no use looking here; she's ignoring you."

"Can't you see I'm at work? No way you're going to talk to me."

"you……"

Lin Peipei was so angry that her liver hurt.

Seeing that Huo Xufan really had no intention of going with her, she had no choice but to leave in a huff.

It was time for rounds, and Qi Wenshen led Xiao Lin out of the doctor's office.

As he approached the nurses' station, he overheard several nurses whispering among themselves.

"Is that guy here again? The one who confessed to Shen Ruo last time?"

Upon hearing Shen Ruo's name, Qi Wenshen stopped in his tracks.

"Here you are, sitting over there. You've been here for almost an hour, and your eyes haven't left Shen Ruo."

"Didn't Shen Ruo refuse? Why is she still coming?"

"He may refuse, but he's shameless. Didn't you see the way he looked at Shen Ruo? Tsk tsk tsk, like he was looking at a fairy."

"Shen Ruo is really something. Being good-looking is such a hassle. She gets stared at wherever she goes. She said she's here for a follow-up appointment, but I don't know if it's a real appointment or just a pretense."

"Shh, keep your voice down, Dr. Qi is coming."

Some sharp-eyed people spotted Qi Wenshen standing not far away.

The nurses immediately fell silent, lowered their heads and pretended to organize medical records, keeping their eyes down and their minds at ease.

Qi Wenshen walked past them without stopping, without changing his expression, and without even raising his eyelids.

After he walked over, the nurses dared to raise their heads, looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and made a relieved expression.

If Dr. Qi criticizes you by name, your job grade will be lowered.

Xiao Lin followed behind Qi Wenshen and secretly glanced at his face. Sure enough, Dr. Qi's face tightened.

Xiao Lin sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "That Huo guy is like a persistent ghost."

Shen Ruo's words that day were so hurtful, a clear rejection. Anyone else would have slunk away long ago. Why is this person still clinging to her? And she's so happy about being rejected. Is her pride made of iron?

Qi Wenshen walked to the corner, stopped, and looked back.

From that angle, you could see Shen Ruo busy giving injections to patients in the infusion room.

On the bench outside, Huo Xufan sat there, his gaze fixed on Shen Ruo without even blinking.

Qi Wenshen withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

"Xiao Lin".

"exist."

Xiao Lin immediately responded.

Qi Wenshen's voice was calm, but Xiao Lin could sense the undercurrents beneath the surface. "There's a surgery coming up later. Go and call Shen Ruo over to observe."

Xiao Lin understood immediately and almost burst out laughing.

Observing surgeries is one of the learning opportunities for intern nurses. They can watch doctors perform surgeries in the operating room and learn aseptic techniques and surgical procedures.

This reason is reasonable, aboveboard, and no one would find it problematic.

But Xiao Lin knew that this meant hiding the person.

That guy, Huo, just sat there watching, so Dr. Qi called Shen Ruo away, took her to the operating room, closed the door, and said, "Let's see what else you can see."

He suddenly realized that Dr. Qi, who appeared cold and unassuming on the surface, was actually incredibly petty and narrow-minded. But his pettiness was so extreme that it made people want to applaud him.

"OK."

Xiao Lin nodded and turned to walk towards the nurses' station.

Shen Ruogang had just finished giving an acupuncture treatment to a patient.

Xiao Lin walked over. "Shen Ruo, Dr. Qi wants you to observe the operation in the operating room."

"Now?"

"Yes, emergency surgery, comminuted fracture of the leg bone."

Shen Ruo didn't think much of it, nodded, handed over her work to Zhou Lan beside her, and followed Xiao Lin away.

Being able to learn from a master is something I couldn't ask for.

Therefore, it's better to have someone you know looking after you than to figure it out on your own.

When Huo Xufan saw her leave, he got up and followed her.

Xiao Lin sensed someone following him, and his brow twitched, but he pretended not to notice, neither turning around nor stopping.

Huo Xufan followed them to the operating room door.

The operating room door closed. Huo Xufan stood at the door, stared at the words "operation in progress" for a few seconds, then turned and left, his back looking somewhat lonely.

……

In the operating room, Qi Wenshen was washing his hands.

Shen Ruo changed into sterile clothing, put on gloves, and pushed open the door to go in.

"come over."

Shen Ruo approached.

He glanced at her.

"Why is that guy outside still looking for you?"

"Let him come if he wants, I'm not going to pay him any attention."

He looked down and said, "You're too charming, it's giving me a headache."

Shen Ru blushed. "We're having surgery, be serious."

Qi Wenshen smiled, stepped back, and reached out to adjust the brim of her hat.

"Watch carefully later and remember it well."

"Um."

Qi Wenshen is a top surgeon at the hospital.

He was the lead surgeon, and no one dared to object to adding another person.

Because everyone in the hospital knew that he and Shen Ruo were cousins.

Since they are relatives, we should definitely take good care of them.

This is also why no one dared to ostracize Shen Ruojin when she entered the First Affiliated Hospital for her internship.

Xiao Lin had already completed the pre-operative preparations. The patient was lying on the operating table, and the anesthesiologist was sitting at his head.

Qi Wenshen walked to the surgeon's position, extended his hand, and Xiao Lin handed him the scalpel.

Shen Ruo stood diagonally behind him, and from this angle, she could see exactly what his hands were doing.

His fingers were long and steady as he cut the skin, separated the tissue, stopped the bleeding, and exposed the fracture ends. Every step was taken without hesitation or delay.

The leg bone was badly shattered; it wasn't visible on the X-ray, but its extent was revealed after it was opened.

The bone was broken into several pieces with jagged edges.

Qi Wenshen began to reposition himself.

Piece by piece, the broken bones were put back into their proper places.

……

Lin Peipei came out of the clinic carrying a bag of medicine.

She didn't actually have any major health problems, just a slightly dry throat, so the doctor prescribed two boxes of throat lozenges.

She stood in the corridor and looked down at the bag of medicine in her hand.

Should we go straight back?

That's a huge loss.

Huo Xufan hasn't left yet.

She rolled her eyes and walked towards the nurses' station.

A nurse in her thirties was sitting at the nurses' station, organizing medical records. She had a round face, a smiling face, and seemed very approachable.

Lin Peipei took out the medicine. "Nurse, could you tell me if I should take one or two tablets at a time? I saw here that it says three times a day, one tablet each time, but the doctor told me to take two tablets last time. I'm a little confused."

The round-faced nurse took the medicine box, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "This medicine is one tablet at a time, three times a day, after meals."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Lin Peipei put the medicine back in the bag, showing no intention of leaving. Instead, she leaned against the nurses' station counter and casually said, "By the way, sister, I'd like to ask you about someone."

Who is it?
