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

Zhou Lan thought about it seriously, "She's a different type from you. You're the fiery type, the kind that makes people unable to look away when you're standing there. She's the gentle type, speaking softly and having a gentle and beautiful smile. Several single male doctors in the department are eyeing her."

Shen Ruo gently stroked the edge of the schedule twice.

The female protagonist in the original novel is indeed named Wen Zhiyue.

At this moment, that name finally fell into place with a click, like the last piece of a puzzle.

Zhou Lan suddenly blurted out, "It's a good thing you took Qi Wenshen in, otherwise, with your cousin's conditions and Wen Zhiyue's looks, if you two hadn't gotten together, Qi Wenshen would definitely have fallen for her."

Shen Ruo felt as if a hand grenade had been thrown into her heart, causing her to explode on the spot.

She struggled to keep her composure and managed a forced, natural smile. "Why would you think that?"

Zhou Lan shrugged. "It's just a gut feeling. I'm usually pretty good at judging people. To be honest, Wen Zhiyue's type is quite attractive to men. She's pretty and speaks gently. She's the kind of person who makes men want to protect her. Wouldn't your cousin, a strong-willed type, be just the type to fall for that?"

Looking at Zhou Lan's serious face, something in Shen Ruo's heart was sinking.

Even Zhou Lan, an outsider, could see how well-matched they were.

That kind of compatibility in temperament, that kind of seamless meshing like gears, seems like some kind of natural law.

The male and female leads are destined for each other.

She recalled her decision from the previous night.

Before the female lead appears, he ties himself to Qi Wenshen.

But now, sitting at the nurses' station, she heard Zhou Lan say in such a matter-of-fact tone, "Qi Wenshen will definitely fall for her."

She suddenly felt that her decision was as fragile as a piece of paper, easily torn.

Shen Ruo smiled again. "Alright, alright, stop spreading rumors about the future. Things that won't happen, you make them sound like they really will."

She stood up, picked up the patient's medical record from the table, and said, "I'm going to make my rounds."

As Zhou Lan watched her leave, she called out from behind, "So, are you going to tell me the details of yesterday?"

"I won't tell."

Shen Ruo left without looking back.

She stopped at the end of the corridor, leaned against the wall, and closed her eyes.

Wen Zhiyue.

That name kept swirling in her mind, making her feel a tightness in her chest.

The female lead arrived, attracting more attention than she had imagined.

Zhou Lan's words were like a thorn stuck in her heart.

She opened the door to the ward and went inside.

do not care.

Regardless of who the female lead is or how the plot is written.

Now that Shen Ruo has come, she won't easily squander the good hand she has.

She's already slept with Qi Wenshen, so she might as well go all the way.

He already belongs to her, at least for now, while she is still standing beside him.

We'll talk about the future later.

If the plot is truly illogical and insists on separating them, then she'll accept it.

Shen Ruo came out of the ward, closed her medical record folder, and looked up to see a group of people walking towards her from the other end of the corridor.

The leader was Ms. Liu Min, followed by several female intern nurses.

Shen Ruo's gaze slid past Liu Min and landed on the crowd behind her.

A girl stood in the middle to the back, wearing a brand-new white lab coat, her hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, gentle and soft, like a white magnolia that had not yet fully bloomed.

Shen Ruo met her gaze.

In that instant, Shen Ruo recognized him by instinct.

Wen Zhiyue, the female protagonist of the original novel.

She is delicate and beautiful; just one look at her evokes a protective instinct in one's heart.

Shen Ruo's gaze lingered on her face for half a second before shifting away. She lowered her head to flip through a page of the medical record and walked past the crowd without pausing.

Keep in mind the principle of survival.

Don't provoke the female lead, don't provoke the female lead, don't provoke the female lead.

Wen Zhiyue turned her head and watched Shen Ruo brush past her, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped the medical record folder.

She had a strange feeling in her heart.

Shen Ruo, I know her.

She could feel that gaze linger on her face for a moment, as if confirming something.

Could it be that Shen Ruo was also reborn?

Thinking of this, Wen Zhiyue felt a little flustered.

This morning, she made a point of passing by Qi Wenshen's office. The door was open, and he was sitting at his desk looking at the surgical plan.

She walked very slowly, almost shuffling, her heart pounding. She pretended to be focused on walking, but her peripheral vision kept falling on the man. He looked up at the doorway, his gaze swept over her, and then he looked down again.

Wen Zhiyue stood there, her heart sinking.

She has held him in her heart for two lifetimes, so why is he so indifferent to her?

Were all those tender feelings of love from my past life just a lie?

What did she do wrong?

It was clearly Shen Ruo who made the mistake.

Wen Zhiyue's eyes felt a little hot.

She pursed her lips, turned around, and wanted to rush in to ask him.

Just then, someone walked out of the door—Xiao Lin—and bumped right into her.

Wen Zhiyue staggered backward from the impact. Xiao Lin reached out and steadied her by the arm, then released her. Looking at her slightly red eyes, he paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you alright?"

Wen Zhiyue lowered her head and blinked hard twice to suppress the moisture in her eyes.

"fine."

Then go.

"Why……"

Xiao Lin stood there, watching her hurried departure, completely bewildered.

These days, nurses are too delicate. He didn't bump into her; she bumped into him when he came out. He helped her up, but she glared at him and started crying at the drop of a hat.

Xiao Lin sighed, shook his head, and turned back to his office.

He silently compared the two in his mind and came to a conclusion.

In comparison, Dr. Qi's cold face was much better.

At least Dr. Qi's cold face wouldn't make him cry in front of him, and wouldn't make him feel inexplicably like he had done something wrong.

……

Shen Ruo leaned against the counter at the nurses' station, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Wen Zhiyue was always in front of Qi Wenshen. Her face was soft and beautiful, and she spoke in a soft voice. If she were a man, she would probably be seduced after taking a few more glances.

Moreover, the male and female leads have a strong storyline. Who knows, one day Qi Wenshen might wake up and suddenly realize that his true love is Wen Zhiyue. Then Shen Ruo, this random passerby, will have to pack her bags and obediently give way, and before leaving, she'll have to say, "I wish you happiness."

Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed.

She let out a long sigh.

Zhou Lan was folding gauze next to her and couldn't help but poke her arm with the gauze roll. "Are you a toad spirit reincarnated? Why are you sighing? Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice."

Shen Ruo: "..."

What could she say?

They say she transmigrated into a book?

Qi Wenshen is the female lead's official love interest; she, a mere extra, simply stole him away beforehand.

If she revealed the truth, Zhou Lan would definitely call the mental hospital and have her taken away.
