After hanging up the phone with the emotional counselor, Chen Rui paid the fee as promised.

If you want to get a wife, you have to spend money, right?

Chen Rui gritted his teeth.

Isn’t it just chasing a girlfriend?

Have you ever seen a pig run even though you haven’t eaten pork?

He's not bragging, he deserves half the credit for Mr. Sun being able to win over the boss's wife!

Having made up his mind, Chen Rui picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed the number Zhou Li left.

"Hello, Ward 5, please speak."

Ward Five?

The corner of Chen Rui's mouth twitched.

He thought he should leave his home phone number, but after all the fuss he got it was still his work phone number.

Just a small incident, it doesn’t matter!

Chen Rui took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, "I'm looking for Zhou Li, Nurse Zhou."

"Nurse Zhou is in surgery. She'll be in about five hours. I'll have her reply later."

Chen Rui hurriedly said no, feeling embarrassed to disturb others at work, and hung up the phone.

Five hours.

He looked at his watch, and the short hand on it was pointing to the number "8".

By this calculation, wouldn’t the surgery have to last until the early morning?

Chen Rui was shocked. It was hard to imagine how such a little girl could stand for so long.

But we have met today, so if it doesn't work out, we can wait until tomorrow.

Chen Rui fell on the bed in the hotel and fell asleep.

…

Zhou Li pressed her hands on the back of her neck and squeezed it hard to relieve some of the pain.

"If the hospital sends me to perform emergency treatment again, I'll quit," the old nurse on the other side complained bitterly, "I'm already old, how can I endure this?"

"No, Sister Zhang, you're going to retire in a few years. It would be a shame to quit now."

"Loss? I'm afraid I'll earn money but not live to spend it."

Other nurses in the lounge were either rubbing waists or massaging legs.

Everyone had a look of fatigue on their face.

But they joked with each other in a nonchalant manner, as if this could relieve some of their fatigue.

Zhou Li has never been able to participate.

She is the most honest one in the eyes of all the nurses in the station.

We never ask for scheduling. No matter which department needs support, we are always available with just one phone call.

If you are too honest, you will be bullied.

But Zhou Li is very straightforward. If she is scheduled to work, she will arrive on time no matter what.

But if someone else wanted to take a break and ask her to switch places, she would just shake her head and refuse.

Not even a polite word.

There seemed to be no such thing as a polite refusal in her dictionary.

The nurses in the nurses' station were indifferent to her. They couldn't be said to be annoying, but they weren't warm to her either.

"Sister Zhang, I'm going back first."

Zhou Li filled out the log for which she was responsible and nodded to the oldest person in the group.

She wasn't supposed to be on night shift today, but she just happened to be working a long operation.

Zhou Li changed into casual clothes and took her bag to leave work.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I saw a figure pacing back and forth at the door.

Zhou Li had good eyesight and recognized the man as Chen Rui from a distance.

She walked up to greet him in surprise.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here again?"

"Aren't you responsible for the demolition? Where did you get hurt today?"

Chen Rui hesitated to speak, and did not take out the tea egg hidden in his pocket.

Does that mean he has to be injured to come to the hospital?

Zhou Li seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing and smiled shyly.

Chen Rui sniffed, "This operation took quite a long time."

We agreed on five hours.

He came at twelve o'clock and sat on the bench outside for more than two hours, but no one came out.

Zhou Li smiled. "Surgery isn't an exam. How can it end on time? If there's something wrong, it will be later. If the situation is good, it will be earlier."

That makes sense.

Chen Rui felt like his brain was frozen by the night wind and he couldn't say anything else.

Zhou Li finally reacted.

"How did you know I was in surgery?"

"I called you to see if you were free to have coffee tomorrow. The nurses at the nurses' station told me."

This time it was Zhou Li's turn to be embarrassed.

She used Chen Rui to avoid a blind date, but was afraid that Chen Rui would call home and make her parents think impure things.

Finally got a work call.

I didn't expect that he really called.

However, Zhou Li still grasped the key point and said politely, "I have to work tomorrow and will be free the day after tomorrow. I'll treat you to coffee the day after tomorrow."

Just consider it as a thank you.

But Chen Rui didn't think so.

Accepting the invitation is the first step.

He was excited in his heart but did not show it on his face. He took out the tea egg in his hand coolly.

"Eat, I don't know if you guys have any midnight snacks after work. It's all hard work, so just fill your stomach."

I don't know where he found the eggs.

It was still warm when Zhou Li touched it.

"Let's go, it's too late, I'll take you home."

Chen Rui acted as if he didn't care, but in fact he had thought of everything in advance.

Who wouldn’t be moved by this?

But Zhou Li said slowly: "My home is in the dormitory area next door, not far away."

Chen Rui looked up.

It’s only two or three hundred meters away.

"Your parents..."

“My whole family works in the hospital.”

He was too abrupt!

Chen Rui suddenly felt that what Yu You said was wrong.

What routine wins people's hearts.

It's totally useless!

Perhaps it was because Chen Rui's frustrated look was too funny that Zhou Li couldn't stop smiling.

Although her home was nearby, she still did not refuse Chen Rui's kindness and let him accompany her all the way downstairs.

Many households in the family dormitories had lights on, mostly waiting for their family members to return from their night shifts.

Chen Rui waved his hand.
