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

Having been reborn into this life, she wants to be with him as soon as possible.

Do all the things you didn't have time to do in your previous life in this one.

But now, Wen Zhiyue closed her eyes, pressed her palm against her chest, and felt her still-beating heart.

The tacit understanding and unspoken agreement between them in their previous life have all vanished in this one. The way he looks at her has no familiar warmth at all.

Wen Zhiyue suppressed the stinging sensation under her eyelids.

The next moment, she suddenly thought of something.

She is not without advantages.

In her past life, she spent so much time with him, and she remembered everything about him clearly: his habits, his preferences, his tastes, what he liked and disliked.

What if she revealed these coincidences to him little by little?

It made him feel that there was someone in this world who understood him so well.

Would that make him look at her more often, and then his gaze would linger on her longer and longer, until he couldn't take his eyes off her?

Wen Zhiyue raised her head, and most of the moisture in her eyes had faded.

Seeing that she finally seemed to have some energy, Ouqi breathed a sigh of relief, tossed the towel back onto the chair, and said, "Okay, it seems you've thought it through. So, what are you planning to do?"

Wen Zhiyue lowered her eyelashes, a very faint smile appearing at the corners of her mouth. "I'll do some homework first."

She knew he definitely didn't have a girlfriend right now.

But what if?

So, she needs to confirm it.

As for Shen Ruo, Qi Wenshen didn't like her in his previous life.

I definitely won't in this lifetime.

At 1 p.m., Wen Zhiyue and Ou Qi walked into the surgical department carrying a large bag of milk tea.

They placed the bag on the table at the nurses' station.

Wen Zhiyue's voice carried just the right amount of gentleness and friendliness, "Everyone has worked hard. I'll treat you all to milk tea. There's pearl milk tea, coconut milk, and a few cups of fruit tea. Please choose one of yourselves."

Who doesn't like free things?

Several nurses who were engrossed in writing notes looked up, their faces beaming with smiles.

A girl put down her pen and walked over. "Oh my, Wen Zhiyue, you're so kind! You just arrived and you're already treating everyone to drinks. We'll feel bad asking you for anything in the future."

Wen Zhiyue smiled shyly, "It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure. I'm new here and don't know much. I'll have to trouble you older sisters to guide me in the future."

"Please give me some pointers, I'll definitely give you some pointers."

Another nurse came over and got a cup, took a sip, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. "Mmm, this milk tea is so delicious, thank you, Zhiyue."

The atmosphere gradually became lively.

A group of people sat around the table, drinking milk tea and chatting.

The conversation started with today's shift schedule, then moved on to the new director, and then to gossip about a certain department.

Wen Zhiyue listened to their conversation from the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words, behaving both as a sociable person and not trying to steal the spotlight.

She waited patiently, and when a break in the conversation occurred, she casually asked, "By the way, Dr. Qi is so handsome, his girlfriend must be very beautiful, right?"

The nurses looked at each other.

An older nurse shook her head. "Dr. Qi's girlfriend? To be honest, I've never seen her. I've been here for almost two years, and I've never seen Dr. Qi bring any girlfriend to the hospital."

Another chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, forget about a girlfriend, I've never even seen him bring a female friend. His personality is as cold as an iceberg; how could an ordinary person dare to approach him?"

"I also think he didn't. If he did, could he have kept it from us?"

Wen Zhiyue smiled as she listened to these words, but her heart slowly regained its vitality.

Before she could even catch her breath, a nurse inadvertently steered the conversation off course.

"But you guys think that if Dr. Qi really has a girlfriend, she'd definitely be someone like Shen Ruo, right? She's pretty, knows how to get things done, and seems to have a good relationship with Dr. Qi. Oh, right, isn't Shen Ruo Dr. Qi's cousin? Of course a cousin would know."

Another nurse also realized, "Yes, yes, Shen Ruo definitely knows. I studied her boyfriend's hand for days and still couldn't figure out who it was in that post on her WeChat Moments that she made an official announcement."

Ouqi asked, "So who's her boyfriend? Have you met him?"

"Never seen her before, she's very good at hiding it."

Wen Zhiyue tightened her grip on the milk tea cup slightly.

Does Shen Ruo have a boyfriend?

She quickly recalled the scenes she had witnessed over the past few days.

Shen Ruo did get very close to Qi Wenshen, but that was normal interaction between cousins.

If Shen Ruo already has a boyfriend, then she probably doesn't have any other feelings for Qi Wenshen.

What did she post on her WeChat Moments?

Wen Zhiyue tried her best to make her voice sound like she was just chatting casually, rather than probing with ulterior motives.

A nurse took out her phone, found Shen Ruo's WeChat Moments, and showed it to her.

Wen Zhiyue glanced down at the post on her WeChat Moments.

In the photo, a big hand envelops a small hand, the sweetness radiating from it.

Wen Zhiyue's lips curled up into a smile.

She can rest assured now.

Shen Ruo will not be an obstacle for her.

If she takes the initiative in the future and appears in front of Qi Wenshen more often, letting him see her goodness, her gentleness, and her thoughtfulness, he can gradually get to know her and get used to her.

Qi Wenshen will definitely fall in love with her, just like in his previous life.

Most definitely.

Ou Qi had slipped over unnoticed, pulled her to a corner of the corridor, and winked at her with bright eyes. "How about it? Are you relieved now? You can pursue her without worry, right?"

Wen Zhiyue couldn't hide the smile on her lips and nodded gently, "Mm."

"Alright, good luck, I wish you success soon. Teacher Liu is going to take attendance, let's go."

Wen Zhiyue carried the dressing tray into the first ward. An elderly man with limited mobility was lying on the bed, and the caregiver was frowning as she packed a bag of wet sheets.

The used diapers hadn't been disposed of yet, and the odor permeated the entire ward.

Wen Zhiyue's steps did not stop.

She went to the bedside, helped the caregiver remove the sheets, and then knelt down to clean the stains.

The caregiver behind her kept saying, "No need, no need, I can do it."

Wen Zhiyue smiled and said, "It's alright, I happen to have some free time."

She wore a gentle smile, without a trace of disdain.

Several nurses passing by glanced at her and felt a bit more favorably disposed towards her.

Girls who don't mind getting dirty or tired are the most popular in the department.

As Wen Zhiyue squatted on the ground tidying up the wet sheets, the corners of her mouth were still curved in a smile.

The smell seemed to have no effect on her.

She was completely immersed in the anticipation of a new life that was about to begin.

What she didn't know was that every single piece of information she had gathered was far from the truth.

……

That evening, Shen Ruo and Qi Wenshen returned to Xinghewan to stay.

We asked Sister Chen to cook the meal, and she left after she finished.
