Lu Zhan, who was pretending to be asleep a second ago, suddenly opened his eyes. His dark eyes were filled with anger, and he stared at Lu Qiuya seriously.

"As a student, you don't want to study hard. What's going on in your head?! Who did you learn these words about likes and dislikes from?! Did some bad boy in your school teach you that?!"

In his eyes, Lu Qiuya was just a student studying in school. It made no difference whether she was six or sixteen years old. She was still a child.

Since he is a child and still studying in school, why would he suddenly ask these questions about love between men and women?

Lu Qiuya was startled by her brother's sudden questioning. After she came to her senses, her face flushed with anger and she puffed her cheeks and said:

"Brother! What are you talking about! I study hard every day at school. When did I start hanging out with bad boys?!"

Lu Qiuya was angry but also felt guilty. This semester, there was indeed a male classmate who had expressed affection for her intentionally or unintentionally. Several female classmates who were on good terms with her knew about this and often teased the two of them.

Now, being questioned unexpectedly by Lu Zhan and being scrutinized by his hawk-like sharp eyes, she felt that all the little secrets in her heart were exposed.

Seeing Lu Zhan's cold face and about to speak again, she quickly spoke first:

"You're wronging me! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

After Lu Qiuya finished speaking, she stamped her feet, turned around and strode out of the ward, but she seemed to see the door of the ward shake.

She took a few steps out and found that the corridor was empty. She looked around, thinking that she was seeing things, and then walked towards the doctor's office angrily.

She wanted to talk to Fan Shengnan and complain about her brother's bad temper, but when she got to the office, she found Fan Shengnan was not there, so she asked another doctor:

"Doctor Zhang, hasn't Doctor Fan arrived yet?"

Doctor Zhang looked up and saw that it was Lu Qiuya. He knew that she was very familiar with Fan Shengnan and had often come to the office to see her in the past few days, so he answered:

"Here I am. I just went on ward rounds. He should be in another ward now!"

“Thank you, Dr. Zhang!”

Lu Qiuya thanked him politely and walked out of the office.

Her brother had just scolded her, and she didn't want to go back to the ward at the moment, so she walked along the corridor and looked inside through the glass window on the ward door out of boredom. She looked on both sides of the corridor, but didn't see Fan Shengnan.

She pouted, feeling so angry that she had no place to vent. Fan Shengnan, who was the best at comforting her, was not there either. She could only walk downstairs aimlessly, but she didn't see the white corner of a piece of clothing sticking out from behind the door leading to the rooftop.

Lu Qiuya was not very courageous and did not dare to walk out of the hospital rashly. She walked along the hospital wall and unknowingly came to a small garden, which surprised her.

After being here for a few days, she didn't even notice that there was a small garden behind the hospital. Although it was late autumn and there were no beautiful flowers blooming in the garden, staying in the natural environment with fresh air was better than returning to the dull ward and looking at her brother's cold face.

The garden path in late autumn was covered with golden fallen leaves, and many dry vines hung from the branches on both sides. The light became dimmer as they walked in. After taking two more steps, Lu Qiuya stopped and planned to go back.

At this moment, a sharp female voice came from behind a bush, and the tone seemed a little annoyed:

"Didn't we agree not to show up at the hospital to see me again? Why are you here again without saying hello?!"

Lu Qiuya, who had nothing to do, heard the voice sound familiar, so she stopped unconsciously and pricked up her ears to listen.

I only heard a rough male voice coming from behind the bushes, saying humbly:

"It's not that I don't want to say hello. Didn't you tell me not to call you? Even if I wanted to say hello, there's nothing I can do!"

The female voice sounded a little impatient:

"There's no other way you can not come! Didn't I tell you to notify me after the transfer is completed? Coming here now will affect my normal work!"

The rough male voice had a good temper. He was not angry at being confronted like this, but said in a gentle voice:

"But I haven't seen you for so many days. I miss you! I've been running around every day for your job transfer. Look, I've lost weight these days. If you don't believe me, just touch it. My waist has become thinner."

"Ouch! Let me go! This is a hospital, stop pulling!"

Lu Qiuya was shocked when she heard this, thinking that the man was being rude to the woman. She raised her foot and prepared to walk into the bushes to stop this uncivilized behavior.

Who knew that the next second, the woman shouted in surprise:

"Oh! Are these gold earrings for me? They are so beautiful!"

"Hey, as long as you like it, I'll buy you a big gold necklace and a big gold ring when we get married!"

"Jin Cai, you are so nice to me!"

With the woman's sweet laughter, the voices of the two people became blurred, and then an indescribable strange sound came from the bushes, like someone smacking their lips or humming.

Lu Qiuya stood there in a daze, her face flushed red.

It's over. She thought she was being brave and righteous, but she didn't know that she had been eavesdropping on the flirting between a young couple.

The sounds in her ears became more and more unbearable. Lu Qiuya was a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and she could guess what had happened in the bushes. In panic, she wanted to run away.

But he turned too quickly and bumped into a protruding branch.

"Snap—"

"who?!"
