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

The next morning, Shen Ruo was eating a fried dough stick when her phone rang. She swiped to check and saw that the things she had ordered online had arrived.

"Cousin, the package arrived. Let's go pick it up together after get off work tonight."

Qi Wenshen sat next to her, peeling a boiled egg for her, and hummed in response.

Shen Ruo looked up at him. "What do you mean by 'hmm'? Are you going to go get it together, or not?"

"Is there a difference?"

Shen Ruo put down the fried dough stick. "There's a big difference. I'm a weak woman, and picking up packages is very tiring for me. If we go together, you can carry them, and I'll just follow you."

Qi Wenshen: "..."

He whispered in her ear, his voice magnetic, and fed her an egg, saying, "You're not weak at all."

Shen Ruo's face suddenly turned bright red for no reason.

I watched as slender fingers held an egg, its surface glossy and smooth.

She recalled the warmth of those hands under the light last night, and her ears turned bright red.

"So, are you going or not?"

"Go, but there's a fee."

"Talking about money can really hurt feelings."

"You can use something else to offset this; let's collect some interest first."

Before Shen Ruo could react, her lips were sealed.

……

Orthopedics Department, Municipal People's Hospital.

Qi Wenshen pushed open the door to the doctor's office, his steps pausing slightly.

On his desk was a cup of black coffee.

The paper cup is from an imported brand, with a low-key yet luxurious logo. Steam is still rising from the rim, indicating that it was recently placed there.

In the office, Xiao Lin sat upright, but his eyes secretly glanced over, the fire of gossip burning brightly in his pupils.

He wanted to see how Dr. Qi would react to this cup of coffee made with love.

Is it a cold rejection?

Or should I accept it with a blank expression?

After all, everyone in the hospital knows that Qi Wenshen is a block of ice that has stood for a thousand years, and so far no peach blossom has been able to survive three days by his side.

Oh no, one of them has already survived.

Qi Wenshen frowned. "Who put this there?"

Xiao Lin cleared his throat. "It was brought over by a nurse named Wen Zhiyue. She said it was to thank you for your guidance yesterday."

Qi Wenshen frowned even more deeply.

yesterday?

guide?

He thought for a few seconds and finally remembered.

Yesterday, Qi Wenshen casually mentioned something to Wen Zhiyue in the emergency room, and today her coffee was delivered to her door. Regardless of the reason, Qi Wenshen had already categorized her as someone he didn't like.

Qi Wenshen looked at the cup of coffee.

He does drink this brand, but only freshly ground; he never touches instant or drip coffee.

Qi Wenshen's eyes behind his glasses turned cold.

He recalled the little woman who had nestled in his arms last night, whispering against his chest, "There must be a lot of nurses in the hospital who like you, right? If you dare to cheat on me, I'll post you online and let netizens dox you."

At the time, she looked fierce and menacing, but she posed no threat whatsoever.

"Xiao Lin".

Qi Wenshen spoke.

"Dr. Qi, is something the matter?"

Qi Wenshen pushed the coffee in front of him, "Since you're still not fully awake, you can drink this one."

Xiao Lin: "..."

He's so energetic now he could kill a bull.

That morning's espresso is still coursing through my veins, want another one?

He was afraid his heart would jump out of his chest, so he decided to just go to the emergency room and lie down.

"Dr. Qi, I..."

"Refreshing".

Qi Wenshen's tone left no room for argument.

Xiao Lin swallowed hard.

You can't ignore what the boss says.

His hands trembled as he picked up the coffee, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Thank you, Dr. Qi..."

"From now on, there can be no items on my desk that are not for work."

Xiao Lin nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand, I absolutely understand."

Dr. Qi, that troublemaker, has decisively ended another romantic entanglement.

Nurse Wen Zhiyue's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. If she saw him bring out coffee later, she would surely burst into tears.

Xiao Lin guessed correctly.

As soon as he pushed open the office door, he saw Wen Zhiyue leaning against the outer wall of the corridor, her back to him, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Hearing the noise, she turned around abruptly. Her eyes were indeed red as if she had applied rouge, and there were still wet tears on her eyelashes. She had obviously heard the conversation inside.

Xiao Lin: "..."

Why does she always look like this whenever I see her?

He looked down at the coffee in his hand, then at Qi Wenshen's indifferent back in the office.

He took two steps forward and whispered, "Um, how about... you take it home and drink it?"

Wen Zhiyue glared at him, her tearful eyes flashing with shame and indignation, as well as a hint of trampled pride.

The black coffee was imported from abroad, and she gritted her teeth and spent the money she had saved from her part-time job to buy just a few packets.

She knew Qi Wenshen liked freshly ground coffee, and she wanted to buy coffee beans directly, but her wallet wouldn't allow it.

She spent a long time planning and chose the style that best suited his taste. She also timed it so that she would deliver it ten minutes before he arrived at the office.

To everyone's surprise, Qi Wenshen didn't drink it and even gave it to someone else.

Wen Zhiyue felt that her sincerity had been trampled into pieces.

She looked at the cup of coffee in Xiao Lin's hand and suddenly found it ridiculous.

Her sincerity was worthless in the eyes of others.

"I do not want."

Her voice was trembling with tears as she turned and ran.

Xiao Lin: "..."

He didn't do anything.

He looked down at the coffee, then at the direction where Wen Zhiyue had disappeared, and suddenly felt that life was so difficult.

He and that nurse must be incompatible, otherwise he would always have tears in his eyes whenever he sees her.

Xiao Lin gulped down a mouthful of coffee in grief and indignation, his face contorted with bitterness.

Ugh, what a piece of junk coffee, it's more bitter than his life.

Wen Zhiyue hid in the stairwell, finally unable to hold back her tears.

When Ou Qi came looking for her, she was startled by her appearance.

"Zhiyue, what's wrong? He didn't take the coffee?"

"Take it."

"Why are you crying now that you've accepted it? Are you so happy you're going crazy?"

Wen Zhiyue's voice trembled, "He gave it to someone else to drink."

"What?"

She looked up, tears welling in her eyes.

"Qiqi, is there no hope for me?"

Ouqi: "..."

She patted Wen Zhiyue on the back, "That guy surnamed Qi is blind. We're not chasing him anymore, okay? We're not chasing him anymore."

"No, I must win Qi Wenshen's heart."

She was reborn for him, how could she not pursue him?

Ouqi: "..."

That stubborn girl, why is she so inflexible?

Qi Wenshen is a tall and straight tree, without a single crooked branch. How could her vine possibly climb up to him?

"So what are you going to do next...?"

Wen Zhiyue wiped away her tears. "Just wait and see, he'll definitely fall into my hands."

"..."

My best friend is pursuing love with such incredible confidence, and all I can do is encourage her.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Wen Zhiyue went to the bathroom to wash her face. The water from the faucet was running. She looked up at herself in the mirror and saw that her eyes were still a little red.

"Zhiyue, let's go, the emergency room is calling for help."

"They're here."

Wen Zhiyue turned off the tap and wiped the water droplets from her face.

It's alright, there's plenty of time.

She turned and walked out of the restroom, then went back to the emergency room with Ou Qi, who was waiting outside.

Just as Shen Ruo had finished giving an injection to a child with a fever and was packing up to go to the pharmacy, Zhou Lan grabbed her arm and mysteriously pulled her to the corner of the corridor.
