Chapter 62

People have a tendency to think in a habitual way.

When counting to nine, one naturally thinks of ten; when counting to nineteen, one thinks of twenty; when counting to ninety-nine, one thinks of one hundred.

And when a person has had some intimate contact with someone they deeply desire to communicate with, they subconsciously look forward to further interaction.

But Chu Nan showed no such inclination...

Because he understood the meaning in Xia Yuechan’s note.

She was a proud woman, and her pride differed from Li Mengru’s capriciousness. She was more rational, more mature and steady. She could distinguish what was right and what was wrong, what was destined and what was mere coincidence.

Chu Nan was very clear that what Xia Yuechan did to him last night would probably never happen again in his life.

Hmm... let it be a dream.

As the saying goes: Spring dreams leave no trace, and the lovelorn man is almost soulless.

Chu Nan couldn’t let his soul be taken away. He calmed down and thought about his own affairs.

The hospital had already given him a heads-up. It was time for him to go. Being a doctor was Chu Nan’s main profession, and he couldn’t neglect it. Chu Nan knew very well that the Second Municipal People’s Hospital wasn’t a place just anyone could enter. Moreover, Chu Nan had to attend the medical academic conference in Kyoto in a week. This week of internship, even if it was just assisting, would help him familiarize himself with the current medical field, so he wouldn’t be a clueless fool at the conference.

After getting up, Chu Nan washed up and came to the living room. Seeing the pile of expensive supplements on the table, he felt a warm feeling from the bottom of his heart, but... he didn’t need them. Although supplements could speed up his recovery, moderate intake was enough. In other words, only a third of the supplements in front of him would be useful, and the rest would be wasted.

But...

Chu Nan couldn’t just throw them away. He thought of someone who needed them more than he did.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao."

"How many times do I have to tell you, just call me Zihong!"

"Alright... Zihong, I’ve bought a lot of high-quality supplements for you to help strengthen your body. How should I send them to you?"

"Well... you’re being so nice to me, I’ll feel embarrassed..." Zhao Zihong said in a coquettish tone.

"… Forget it, I’ll donate them to the Hope Project."

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of joke is this? Who needs the Hope Project? I was just joking. Are you at home now? I’ll send my driver to pick them up. Sorry, Chu Nan, I can’t come over right now."

Building a good relationship with Zhao Zihong was something Chu Nan genuinely wanted, without any ulterior motives. He simply admired Zhao Zihong’s character. Perhaps such a character wouldn’t stand out among ordinary people, but in the upper echelons of society, such a personality and character were truly rare. Maintaining contact with such a friend was actually a stroke of luck for Chu Nan.

After waiting at the door for about ten minutes, Zhao Zihong’s driver arrived in front of Chu Nan.

Although these supplements were all very expensive, Zhao Zihong could easily buy them if he wanted to, just with a word. But he specifically sent his driver to pick them up, which showed that he accepted Chu Nan’s gesture.

"Mr. Chu, this... is what the young master asked me to give you."

Since he was a friend of Zhao Zihong, the driver was very considerate and took Chu Nan directly to the Second Municipal People’s Hospital. As Chu Nan was about to get out of the car, the driver handed him a red envelope.

"Hmm?" Chu Nan subconsciously accepted it, "Oh, thank you."

"Mr. Chu, you’re too polite."

"Snap."

After getting out of the car, Chu Nan opened the red envelope with some anticipation, but... when he saw the single thin red bill inside, he was speechless: "Damn, he says we’re good brothers, but he’s even more frugal than I am. He really just gave me one hundred yuan?? He didn’t even reimburse me for the supplements, what a miser."

...

Since it was arranged by Ye Shengge, Chu Nan just had to say hello and he was on duty. Because he was not very familiar with many aspects of the hospital, he naturally assisted, which meant handling the guidance of patients.

It was a sunny day.

A good day to clear up misunderstandings.

After much inquiry, Chu Nan finally found Ye Yao’s rest room.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Please come in."

"Click." Pushing the door open, Chu Nan walked in with a smile and greeted Ye Yao, who looked surprised: "Mrs. Ye... oh, no, Doctor Ye, it’s been a while. How have you been recently?"

Seeing Chu Nan walk in with a smile, Ye Yao’s mind buzzed. The next second, her eyebrows furrowed: "You... why are you here again?"

Thinking for a moment, she seemed to remember something: "Are you here to get another fake injury certificate?"

Chu Nan closed the door and walked in with a smile: "Doctor Ye, it seems our misunderstanding is quite deep..."

When Chu Nan fully entered the room, Ye Yao was thoroughly surprised.

"You... why are you wearing a white coat?? You..." The surprise in Ye Yao’s eyes quickly turned to a change in her expression, "What do you want?! Don’t come any closer!"

"Uh..."

Seeing Ye Yao look at him like he was a thief, Chu Nan stopped and took a deep breath: "Actually... I’m interning at this hospital now. I forgot to tell you before. I’m a medical student at Jinghua University."

"Do you think I’ll believe you?"

As she spoke, Ye Yao picked up her phone, seemingly ready to call other colleagues at the hospital.

Chu Nan smiled helplessly, took Ye Yao’s phone, and then took out his internship ID.

"Here, take a look. — I have no reason to lie to you, and I’ve never lied to you. I didn’t in the past, and I don’t now."

Coincidentally, Ye Yao rarely paid attention to the hospital’s trivial matters, so she didn’t know that a certain person had arranged for an intern to assist. Even more coincidentally, the person who arranged for Chu Nan to come didn’t mention it to Ye Yao.

But no matter how many coincidences, Chu Nan was indeed an intern at the hospital.

After seeing Chu Nan’s internship ID, Ye Yao quickly called the personnel department. Chu Nan didn’t stop her this time. After the confirmation, a mixed expression appeared on Ye Yao’s delicate face.

"I really don’t know what the hospital is thinking, letting in all sorts of scumbags!" Ye Yao huffed angrily.

Chu Nan smiled bitterly: "Doctor Ye, why do you hate me so much? Don’t casually label someone you don’t really know as a scumbag."

Ye Yao shot a glare at Chu Nan and said irritably: "The scumbags they’ve let in aren’t just you."

"Oh? So, besides me, there are other scumbags in the hospital? Ah, no, I spit, you got me into this." Chu Nan couldn’t understand why he ended up calling himself a scumbag.

Ye Yao’s face turned a bit sour: "Scumbag? You’re just a fraudster at best. Compared to some people, you’re far from being a scumbag."

"Hmm?" Chu Nan was taken aback, not knowing who Ye Yao was talking about.

Just then, a somewhat annoying voice came from the doorway.

"Yao Yao, there you are in the rest room. I’ve been looking for you all morning, making me distracted all day. No wonder people say that love makes a man confused."
