After finally finishing his meal, Ouyang Zhenyu put away his lunchbox.

"Where's the water room? I'm going to wash my lunchbox."

Chen Ruixue couldn't hold back anymore. How could she ask Ouyang Zhenyu to wash her lunchbox after she had finished eating?

"You stay here and wait patiently. I'll go wash the lunchbox and be right back."

Ouyang Zhenyu patted her on the shoulder, picked up three lunchboxes, and walked out.

He ran right into Li Huimin.

Seeing the lunchbox in his hand, Li Huimin knew that the two of them had just finished eating, and judging from the amount of food in the lunchbox, it was not enough for one person.

Seeing Ouyang Zhenyu actually washing the lunchbox, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

She couldn't make out what the girl looked like.

Ouyang Zhenyu wouldn't let her do anything.

"Comrade Li Huimin, what are you doing here?"

Ouyang Zhenyu noticed that Li Huimin wasn't giving him a hard time this time, but her tone wasn't as amiable as usual.

"Dr. Ouyang, you're already exhausted from performing so many surgeries every day, why do you still wash your own lunchbox?"

These are things your students usually do; I'll help you wash them.

Li Huimin stepped forward, but Ouyang Zhenyu dodged her with a quick movement.

"Comrade Li Huimin, you have crossed the line!"

I wash my own lunchbox, of course.

And you know perfectly well that my girlfriend and I had some disagreements today.

This misunderstanding started because of you, and it's inappropriate for you to be here right now.

Li Huimin felt a pang of sadness; she hadn't expected Ouyang Zhenyu to be so protective of someone.

She always thought Ouyang Zhenyu had that aloof and indifferent demeanor, always peaceful, gentle, and tolerant towards everyone.

But no one expected that he also had his moments of favoritism, his favoritism towards this girl.

Completely different from myself.

"Dr. Ouyang, I'm sorry, I've caused a misunderstanding between you and your girlfriend."

I've never heard of you having a girlfriend. Where is she from?

"Or I could go in and apologize to him, explain the situation, and avoid any misunderstandings."

"No need for that. We'll handle our own affairs. I hope you won't come to see me alone so often, Comrade Li Huimin."

This can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Our relationship is purely professional.

Ouyang Zhenyu adopted an attitude of keeping people at arm's length, which was very hurtful.

Li Huimin gritted her teeth; she hadn't expected Ouyang Zhenyu to refuse so decisively.

At the same time, they were even more curious about who the girl that Ouyang Zhenyu had hidden away was.

Li Huimin turned and left.

She wasn't one to give up easily, and she wanted to see who this girl was, since she hadn't appeared by Ou Yu and Ouyang Zhenyu's side all this time.

That proves that the girl is not from the health center.

It wasn't from the county either; if it were, I should have met this girl a week ago.

Judging from the clothes this girl is wearing, she's dressed very simply and looks more like someone from the village.

However, she needed to find out exactly who the other person was before she could decide what to do.

She was determined to have Ouyang Zhenyu.

Ouyang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief; Li Huimin was at least sensible.

But if you frown at the same time, there will definitely be hidden dangers.

He kept Chen Ruixue well hidden, not because Chen Ruixue was someone he couldn't be seen in public.

However, it would not be beneficial for his relationship with Chen Ruixue to be exposed at this time.

It will only bring trouble to myself and make it harder for me to protect Chen Ruixue.

This is why he has never rashly returned to the Red Flag Brigade.

The brigade leader and his men knew perfectly well what was going on, but they couldn't go too far, because the educated youth were watching them with wide eyes.

These days, there are plenty of people who will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.

If Ouyang Zhenyu falls, he won't be able to protect Chen Ruixue and the others.

Ouyang Zhenyu washed his lunchbox and went inside, where he saw Chen Ruixue standing by the window.

From this vantage point, you can see exactly where he and Li Huimin were talking in the corridor.

He put the lunchbox away, wiping his hands with a towel as he spoke.

"You saw it too, didn't you?"

The woman's name is Li Huimin. She came from the city and became the director of the local materials bureau.

He was in charge of hospital equipment and drug procurement.

So we had contact through work.

"But what I want to tell you is that there's nothing between her and me."

Ouyang Zhenyu walked to Chen Ruixue's side.

Chen Ruixue turned her head and looked calmly at Ouyang Zhenyu.

"Brother Jiang, I don't want to call you Ouyang Zhenyu."

I will still call you Brother Jiang, but this is the last time. I'm here to say goodbye, regardless of whether Li Huimin is here or not.

We should never see each other again.

Given the current situation of the Chen family and our relationship with you, it will only put you in a difficult position.

And it will also drag you down.

We're not like that. From now on, we're cutting ties completely.

Ouyang Zhenyu grabbed her wrist.

"You were the one who provoked me in the first place."

You can be my girlfriend if you want, or break up with me if you want?

No way, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Let me tell you, since you've provoked me, you have to take full responsibility.

"Breaking up is impossible in this lifetime."

Such unreasonable and domineering words actually warmed Chen Ruixue's heart.

Ouyang Zhenyu pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of Chen Ruixue's head.
