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

Qi Wenshen stared at her lips for a few seconds, then suddenly stepped forward and pulled Shen Ruo into his arms tightly.

His chin rested on the top of her head, his chest heaving several times, and he said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to go to work either."

Shen Ruo was almost suffocating from his tightness, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

She buried her face in his chest, wrapped her arms around his waist, and inhaled his clean minty scent as she whispered, "Let's both take the day off."

"Wei Jing will go crazy."

Qi Wenshen lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. "Let's go."

"etc."

Shen Ruo used concealer to cover the hickeys on her neck and collarbone.

"When will you go public with our relationship?"

Qi Wenshen asked.

Shen Ru blinked. "Almost there, almost there."

The female lead only arrived today, who knows if you'll follow the original plot?

If she announces it and then cheats on him, she will become the laughingstock of the entire hospital.

Shen Ruo was led out of the room by him.

She went to work as usual. Anyway, she had already slept with this person, so whether the female lead came or not was up to her. Shen Ruo was now fearless. Although her legs were still shaking, she was already confident.

At the hospital entrance, Ou Qi was complaining to Wen Zhiyue about how busy the emergency department was.

"Do you know what I did yesterday? I spent the whole day changing IV drips and cleaning wounds, and a family member even yelled at me because I got his bed number wrong. My legs are sore from running around, and I still got scolded by the head nurse for not being diligent enough..."

Wen Zhiyue listened and nodded, her gaze drifting aimlessly across the distance.

The next moment, she stopped in her tracks.

Two people walked out of the parking lot entrance.

A man and a woman; the man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and the light reflected from his watch dazzled her.

The woman was wearing a round-neck apricot-colored dress with the hem just past her knees. Her waist was cinched, and her exposed calves were white and straight. Her hair was loosely tied back, with a few strands blowing against her cheeks in the wind.

It was Qi Wenshen and Shen Ruo.

The two were separated by an arm's length, appearing to be very proper, but Wen Zhiyue still noticed.

When Qi Wenshen turned his head to look at Shen Ruo, his eyes couldn't hide the longing in them.

His face softened considerably, making him look completely different from the cold, hard face he had on the operating table in his previous life.

Shen Ruo said something, and Qi Wenshen tilted his head slightly. Shen Ruo then tiptoed closer to his ear, her lips almost touching his earlobe.

After they finished speaking, the two walked side by side towards the hospital. Shen Ruo's soft voice drifted over, "Cousin, could you get me lunch? I want braised pork ribs, with lots of sauce."

Wen Zhiyue's heart tightened suddenly, and she even paused in breathing for a moment.

Her lips moved, the name almost slipping out, "Qi..."

The words caught in her throat as the man walked past her, his gaze fixed on the woman beside him the entire time, not even sparing her a glance.

He just passed away like that.

Wen Zhiyue stood frozen in place, the string of anticipation in her heart snapping.

In her past life, Qi Wenshen was gentle and considerate towards her, and deeply in love with her…

Those images swirled in her mind, frame by frame.

But this man didn't even glance at her.

His eyes were only on Shen Ruo, who was wearing an apricot-colored round-neck dress and pouting as if she wanted braised pork ribs.

Ou Qi tugged at her arm, "Zhiyue, do you know them?"

She followed Wen Zhiyue's gaze and said, "That guy is so handsome, and the girl is so pretty. Are they a couple?"

Wen Zhiyue's lips moved slightly, "I know...I don't know."

Ouqi, "Do we know each other or not?"

Before Wen Zhiyue could answer, Ou Qi suddenly slapped her forehead. "Oh, I remember now! That man is Qi Wenshen. In his work photos, he has a stern face like the King of Hell. He seems like a completely different person today..."

She covered her mouth. "This is so different from the rumors! Wasn't he supposed to be a cold-faced devil? His eyes were so gentle just now."

Wen Zhiyue didn't respond.

She stepped up the stairs, her pace quickening considerably. "Let's go in."

Ouqi jogged to catch up, saying, "Slow down..."

Wen Zhiyue practically rushed into the surgical room.

As I turned the corner in the corridor, I saw Shen Ruo standing at the door of the orthopedics office. She said something to me through the crack in the door, then smiled, waved, and turned to walk away.

Through the crack in the door, one could vaguely see Qi Wenshen sitting behind his desk, his gaze following Shen Ruo's back until the door closed.

Wen Zhiyue stopped at the corner of the corridor, her fingernails digging into her palms.

One is someone she likes, and the other is someone she hates. Neither of them remembers anything from their past lives.

Moreover, Shen Ruo's style of dress has changed.

In her previous life, she remembered that Shen Ruo loved to wear sexy outfits: short tops, hot pants, crop tops, and high heels. She was as flamboyant as a ball of fire.

But today, this round-neck dress made her look both innocent and alluring, making Wen Zhiyue involuntarily take a second look.

In their past life, Shen Ruo and Qi Wenshen's interactions were all characterized by Shen Ruo's frequent and obsessive pursuit, which Qi Wenshen found repulsive and avoided.

How come you're like a completely different person in this life?

Not only has she improved her fashion sense, but she also dares to act cute with Qi Wenshen and ask him to get her food, and Qi Wenshen doesn't refuse.

She stood at the corner of the corridor, took a few deep breaths, and then adjusted her facial expression back to normal.

Ou Qi caught up from behind, panting, "Why are you running? Hurry up, Teacher Liu Min is going to take attendance, you'll get scolded if you're late."

Wen Zhiyue nodded and followed Ou Qi toward the ward.

Shen Ruo, it seems I can't underestimate you in this life either.

Shen Ruogang had just sat down at the nurses' station and hadn't even had time to put her bag down properly when Zhou Lan came over.

Those eyes scanned her several times before finally settling on her face, which was noticeably more radiant than usual.

Zhou Lan squinted for two seconds, then suddenly clicked her tongue, a knowing look appearing on her face.

She lowered her voice and whispered in Shen Ruo's ear, "No wonder you two rested together yesterday, so that's why..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ruo swiftly covered her mouth.

Zhou Lan grunted twice, then pulled her hand away in dissatisfaction. "What's wrong with sharing? I'm not going to tell everyone."

Shen Ruo glared at her. "Do you think this is kindergarten, distributing candy? Sharing?"

Anyway, she doesn't have that hobby.

Zhou Lan pouted, then moved closer to her again, unwilling to give up. "Then you have to tell me, did you two actually leave?"

Shen Ru blushed slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

She sighed, knowing that if she didn't give Zhou Lan an answer today, this person would pester her with questions all day long.

"All I can tell you is that we've left. That's all I can say."

Zhou Lan snorted in dissatisfaction, "Tch, stingy."

Shen Ruo ignored her and lowered her head to organize today's schedule.

But Zhou Lan clearly wasn't going to let her off so easily. Her eyes darted around, and her mouth started chattering again, "By the way, do you know there's a new intern nurse in the surgery department?"

Shen Ruo paused slightly as she flipped through the work schedule. "I know, what's wrong?"

Zhou Lan rested her chin on her hand, as if appraising some work of art, "Her name is Wen Zhiyue, she's exceptionally beautiful, just as pretty as you."

Shen Ruo's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged. She simply said "Oh," keeping her tone as casual as possible, "How beautiful?"
