Gong Yanli said "Oh," and after a moment of silence, asked, "Where is she?"

Mao Xiaofeng chuckled and joked, "Dean Gong, you just said that we can't do personal business during working hours, so... does this count as personal business?"

"So much nonsense? Once you're in my position, you can do whatever you want."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. She was just sitting in the emergency room lobby. I don't know if she's still there. Do you need me to keep an eye on her for you?"

"No need, I'm hanging up."

Gong Yanli didn't say a word more.

Mao Xiaofeng was actually in the outpatient hall at that moment.

As an expensive, membership-based private hospital, St. He's Hospital doesn't have many patients to begin with, and even fewer come in the evening.

The total number of emergency room patients did not exceed twenty.

There are even fewer medical staff.

Mao Xiaofeng picked up a medical record at random, found a corner to stand in, and pretended to peek at the medical record, but actually he was peeking at Ji Tong.

Just now in the restaurant, when that male college student spoke rudely, he saw it clearly. Gong Yanli, sitting opposite him, gripped his fork tightly several times, almost as if he were about to dissect someone on an operating table.

Mao Xiaofeng has known Gong Yanli since childhood; this older brother has always seemed indifferent to everything.

I've had girlfriends before, but I've never felt this awkward.

Mao Xiaofeng stood at the corner for less than ten minutes when he saw Gong Yanli, wearing a white coat, walk into the emergency room from outside.

As soon as he entered, the woman in purple immediately stood up from the bench.

"Dr. Gong," Ji Tong called out.

Gong Yanli looked over at the sound, a look of surprise on his face. He frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

Mao Xiaofeng watched from the side, imitating Gong Yanli in a low voice.

I could barely hold back my laughter.

This was the first time in his life that he had ever seen Gong Yanli go to such lengths to act for someone!

Ji Tong pursed her lips and waved the examination report in her hand. "I don't know if it's because I was upset by that man last night, but when I got home I felt anxious and my heart was racing, so I came to register for a check-up. The doctor said I'm fine, and I was already planning to leave."

"Oh." Gong Yanli glanced at the time. "It's getting late. Drive carefully."

One sentence killed the chat.

Ji Tong came here this time to thank Gong Yanli.

I originally intended to chat a bit longer, casually steer the conversation towards what would happen that evening, and then offer a simple thank you.

Unexpectedly, this person killed the chat with just one sentence.

"……oh."

Ji Tong turned to leave.

Just as she was about to reach the emergency room entrance, she steeled herself, stamped her foot, turned around, and saw Gong Yanli still standing there. She said, "Dr. Gong, no matter what, thank you for what happened tonight."

"fine."

Gong Yanli's reply killed the chat once again.

Ji Tong stood there awkwardly for two seconds, unable to continue the conversation at all.

She simply took her car keys out of her pocket and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Mao Xiaofeng, standing at a distance, was anxious, wishing he could rush out and become a human translator for Gong Yanli.

But he didn't dare.

He was afraid he would be fired tomorrow because his left foot would be the first to enter the hospital.

Ji Tong casually stuffed the medical report into her bag and walked out the door.

While Mao Xiaofeng was still standing there anxiously, he saw Gong Yanli, who had been standing like a meditating monk, finally take a step and chase after him.

-

By the time Ji Tong walked out of the emergency room, she had calmed down.

Her purpose in coming to St. Union Hospital today was to thank Gong Yanli.

Regardless, he helped me today, and it would be too hasty to just thank him over the phone; thanking him in person would be the best approach.

Gong Yanli's attitude probably means he doesn't want to talk to her anymore.

Then she wouldn't make a fool of herself.

As Ji Tong approached the hospital parking lot...

Gong Yanli's voice came from behind, "Miss Ji."

Ji Tong stopped, put her car keys in her pocket, and asked with a polite smile, "Dr. Gong, is there anything else?"

"I was sitting right next to you when you were having dinner with that person today. You went to see him because your family is pressuring you to go on blind dates, and you just wanted to find someone to appease them, right?"

Gong Yanli walked to Ji Tong's side, looked down at the woman in front of him, his expression was indifferent, and he could not tell what emotions he was having.

If it were anyone else, Ji Tong would definitely ask, "Are you planning to make me look for you?"

But the person in front of her was Gong Yanli, so to avoid being retorted, she changed her question: "What? Do you have someone suitable around you that you're planning to introduce to me?"
