Chapter 22

Yeqiu came to the hospital early in the morning, reported to the nursing station, and then went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast for Lin Jingzhi.

A nursing assistant, in essence, is like a nanny, having to do everything.

When he finished buying breakfast and came out of the cafeteria, he ran into Zhang Lili at the entrance.

Yeqiu chose to ignore her and walked past her.

"Stop!"

Zhang Lili shouted.

Yeqiu pretended not to hear and continued walking.

"Yeqiu, stop right there!" Zhang Lili shouted again.

Yeqiu finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhang Lili, asking, "Are you talking to me?"

Zhang Lili was quite angry: "If I'm not talking to you, am I talking to a dog?"

"Spit it out!" Yeqiu said rudely.

Zhang Lili's face turned ashen with anger, and she said in a low voice, "Yeqiu, I advise you to go and apologize to Shaocong right away, or you'll die without knowing how."

"Are you worried about me?" Yeqiu's voice softened a bit, thinking Zhang Lili was worried about him being retaliated against by Guo Shaocong.

But Zhang Lili's next words made him realize he was wrong.

"Worried about you? Hmph, you're just a bastard, what's there for me to worry about? I just want Shaocong to get better quickly. He hates you so much that if you go and kneel down to apologize to him, maybe his anger will subside, and he'll recover faster."

"Is that all?"

"Do you think I have anything else to say to you? I wouldn't even look at you if it weren't for Shaocong."

"Zhang Lili, I have something to tell you too. Don't think too highly of yourself, and don't treat others too lowly. When you were my girlfriend, I could tolerate your capriciousness and pamper you like a treasure. But now, you are just... nothing to me!"

Yeqiu finished speaking and walked away confidently.

Zhang Lili stomped her feet in anger and shouted at Yeqiu's back, "I must have been blind to fall for a wimp like you."

...

In the VIP ward.

Yeqiu said, "Sister Lin, I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought you some crystal buns."

"Crystal buns, I love them." Lin Jingzhi looked surprised and grateful, saying, "Yeqiu, thank you."

"Don't mention it, it's my duty."

"Yeqiu, I have a small request, can you grant it?"

"Go ahead, Sister Lin."

"Can you feed me?" Lin Jingzhi pouted, looking at Yeqiu pitifully, looking very cute.

Yeqiu felt a bit of a headache and said, "Sister Lin, can I refuse?"

"No." Lin Jingzhi squinted her eyes, her beautiful face showing a charming smile.

Yeqiu felt a bit helpless and had to sit by the bed, using chopsticks to pick up a bun and bring it to Lin Jingzhi's mouth.

Lin Jingzhi ate very slowly, taking small bites, occasionally giving Yeqiu a flirtatious look, her demeanor very similar to a certain movie's female lead.

She's really a vixen!

Yeqiu didn't dare to look at her.

After eating half a crystal bun, Lin Jingzhi said, "Yeqiu, can you do me one more favor? Can you eat the remaining half of the crystal bun for me?"

Yeqiu looked down at the crystal bun, which still had Lin Jingzhi's lipstick on it.

If he ate it, wouldn't that be...

Indirect kissing?

Yeqiu hesitated.

"Eat it quickly." Lin Jingzhi urged.

"Sister Lin, I've already had breakfast, I'm not hungry now."

Yeqiu thought it wasn't right. He and Lin Jingzhi were just a patient and a nursing assistant, not a couple. If someone saw them, it would be very inappropriate.

"Yeqiu, is it because I ate half of it and you think it's dirty, so you don't want to eat it?" Lin Jingzhi asked.

"Sister Lin, you misunderstood, I..."

"You're just being picky!" Lin Jingzhi was angry, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, as if she was about to cry.

Yeqiu hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, I really don't think you're dirty..."

"Then eat it." Lin Jingzhi said, "If you eat this half of the crystal bun, I'll believe you."

Yeqiu was still hesitant.

"I'll feed you!" Lin Jingzhi took the chopsticks and picked up the half bun, bringing it to Yeqiu's mouth.

Yeqiu was in a dilemma.

Eat or not eat? That was the question.

"Open your mouth." Lin Jingzhi's voice was gentle, like a devoted wife feeding her husband.

Yeqiu had no choice but to open his mouth.

After eating the bun, Lin Jingzhi used a tissue to gently wipe the corners of Yeqiu's mouth and asked, "Is it good?"

"Mm-hm."

"Do you want more? I'll eat half of the remaining crystal buns, and you eat the other half, okay?"

"Sister Lin..."

"Cough, cough!"

Suddenly, a heavy cough came from the doorway.

Yeqiu turned his head and saw Bai Bing standing at the ward door, her tall figure wrapped in a professional outfit, her hair tied back, and her face cold.

"Director Bai." Yeqiu quickly stood up and asked, "When did you come?"

Bai Bing glanced coldly at Yeqiu and then asked Lin Jingzhi, "How are your injuries?"

"I won't die." Lin Jingzhi was smiling, but her tone was cold.

Yeqiu looked at Bai Bing and then at Lin Jingzhi, asking, "Do you two know each other?"

"None of your business!"

Both women said in unison.

Yeqiu felt embarrassed and decided not to speak.

"Bai Bing, did you come to see me?" Lin Jingzhi asked with a smile.

"Don't call my name, we're not that close. I came to find Yeqiu." Bai Bing said coldly, "Yeqiu, come with me."

"Okay." Yeqiu responded and followed Bai Bing out of the door.

"Wait!" Lin Jingzhi said, "Director Bai, Yeqiu is my nursing assistant now. Shouldn't you at least let me know if you're taking him away?"

"I'm the head of the surgery department, Yeqiu is a probationary doctor in my department. I don't need to inform anyone when I call him." Bai Bing's attitude was very firm.

"But he's not a probationary doctor anymore, he's my nursing assistant now."

"So what? I can assign any nursing assistant in this hospital." Bai Bing continued, "Lin Jingzhi, I have to remind you that Yeqiu is unreliable and doesn't take his work seriously. You should consider changing your nursing assistant."

Yeqiu looked at Bai Bing in surprise.

What does she mean?

Doesn't she know that if I lose this job, I'll be kicked out of the hospital?

Yeqiu was a bit dissatisfied with Bai Bing.

Lin Jingzhi smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Director Bai, but I like Yeqiu. He's not only handsome, but he also takes care of me very well."

Bai Bing said, "Maybe everything you see is just an act. Don't be deceived by appearances."

Yeqiu looked at Bai Bing again.

What's wrong with Director Bai today? Why is she bad-mouthing me repeatedly?

Fortunately, Lin Jingzhi didn't believe Bai Bing's words. She said, "I trust my eyes. There are very few men as good as Yeqiu these days. If he were my boyfriend, that would be great. Yeqiu, do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Yeqiu was stunned. Although he knew Lin Jingzhi was joking, his heart couldn't help but flutter.

If she were serious, that would be great?

Seeing Yeqiu dazed, Bai Bing was furious and shouted angrily, "Yeqiu, come out here!"
