Falling behind at the start, the first surgery shocked the world.

Han Meiji bowed deeply to Zhang Ming at a 90-degree angle and shouted a greeting.

"Director, thank you for your recognition."

What the hell!

What are you doing?

Zhang Ming was completely dumbfounded. This young man's way of doing things was incomprehensible.

"What...what are you doing?"

"What have I agreed to?"

Ten minutes later, Han Meiji, holding a large cup of caramel macchiato, looked at Zhang Ming with a smile and said something with her big, cartoonish eyes.

"You arranged for Ge Xuan to meet me by chance, wasn't it to test me?"

"Are you testing my feelings for summer?"

"Was I right?"

Zhang Ming only told Ge Xuan that he was seducing Han Meiji, but did not tell Ge Xuan the specific reasons.

Zhang Ming felt ashamed.

Holding a cup of coffee, an awkward smile appeared on his old face.

"Since you've guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"It's definitely for summer."

"I just wanted to give him a heads-up. If I offended you in any way, I apologize."

"Xia Tian is a very serious person when it comes to relationships, so..."

"I'm sorry."

Without realizing it, Zhang Ming had already started to see himself as Xia Tian's parent.

Han Meiji smiled and shook her head.

"You don't need to apologize, I understand."

"Is it alright if I call you uncle in private?"

Zhang Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, calling me uncle is more affectionate."

Seeing that Han Meiji wasn't angry, Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Han Meiji.

Zhang Ming asked quietly.

"Do you... really like summer?"

Han Meiji blushed, hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded.

"Yes."

"But I didn't tell him."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zhang Ming didn't understand.

Han Meiji tilted her head and looked at the ceiling. After thinking for a few seconds, she smiled and said.

"I don't want him to be too narcissistic."

"After all... he can be quite narcissistic at times, and it's fun to tease him. His expression is always adorable when I tease him."

Under the streetlights, when Han Meiji told Xia Tian, ​​"Don't worry, you won't get pregnant," Xia Tian was speechless, his eyes wide open. At that moment, Han Meiji felt that this man was incredibly cute.

Because I like teasing Xia Tian, ​​I won't confess my feelings?

Is this what you call romance?

Hey!

Zhang Ming didn't understand the world of young people.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Ming asked a very crucial question.

"Are you planning to marry Xia Tian?"

Any relationship that doesn't aim for marriage is just playing around.

Dad won't allow it!

Upon hearing the word "marriage," Han Mi-hee's expression changed instantly, and she lowered her head, remaining silent for a long time.

Zhang Ming: ? ? ?

Hey?

Is this question really that difficult to answer?

Or are all the people who returned from abroad non-marriage advocates who only date and don't want to get married?

"Uncle Zhang, I have a secret."

"Few people know this secret of mine, and I consider you someone I can trust. Could you please keep it a secret for me?"

The cartoon version's big eyes were filled with pleading as she looked at Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming nodded.

"Okay, go ahead and say it."

15 minute later.

Han Meiji said calmly, "That's the situation. Do you think Xia Tian and I can get married?"

This time.

Zhang Ming then fell silent.

"this……"

Zhang Ming stared at Han Meiji in utter shock, his eyes filled with not only astonishment but also sadness.

He hesitated for a full two minutes.

Finally, it turned into a long sigh.

He said quietly.

"I can't make that decision."

"I'll ask Xia Tian. If he can accept it, I'll wish you all the best."

"If he can't..."

The two fell silent once again.

It was Han Mi-hee who broke the silence first.

"It's alright, Uncle Zhang."

"I can understand. Xia Tian is a very outstanding person with a kind heart. Even without me, he will find someone better, so... it's okay if he can't accept it."

"Please ask him. If he can't accept it, I'll leave the provincial hospital immediately."

"I will never appear in his world again from now on."

"But please keep this a secret, Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Ming nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll definitely keep it a secret."

He wanted to say something to comfort her, but seeing Han Meiji open her mouth, he thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable word, so he could only let out a long sigh.

Han Meiji smiled and said, the girl's face showing no sadness, or perhaps... she had already accepted her fate.

"It's alright, Uncle."

"Don't be sad. I've known about this for a long time, and I've already accepted it. I'm not afraid."

"Why don't you ask Xia Tian?"

"If he can't accept it, I won't bother him."

At this moment.

A passage echoed in Zhang Ming's mind.

God opens a door for you, but He is destined to close another.

Han Mi-hee...

Pity.

"That's all for now, I have to go home."

Zhang Ming nodded, and the two got up to leave.

As Zhang Ming reached the door, something suddenly occurred to him.

"By the way, Director Liu sent you a message a few days ago. He said you didn't reply. Didn't you receive it?"

Han Meiji nodded: "I received it, but I didn't reply."

Zhang Ming: ? ? ? ?

Why didn't you reply?

Liu Yu is the director of the proctology department, which is Han Meiji's superior in the hospital. Why doesn't he reply to WeChat messages from his superior?

Han Meiji replied inexplicably.

"I don't know this Director Liu. If it's about a patient, he could call me, but he doesn't. He doesn't explain why, and he just asks me 'good evening' in the middle of the night. What good thing could it be? Since there's nothing good, why should I reply?"

Zhang Ming: ...

"But...he's a leader after all. Aren't you afraid of offending him and jeopardizing your future?"

Han Meiji smiled.

"What can Director Liu do? Use any means to force me to leave the provincial hospital?"

"If I leave the provincial hospital, I can go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital or 301 Hospital in Beijing. I'm not worried about not finding a job."

"As for money..."

"Being a doctor is just a hobby of mine; I don't lack money."

Han Mi-hee: I don't even lack money, why would I be afraid of offending anyone?
