When Lin Zhixing followed Huo Yikang to meet Dean Gao of the Third Hospital, he learned that the two were fellow students and had known each other since their school days.
When the two met, they didn't talk about work or academic matters at all.
When President Gao saw Huo Yikang, he immediately said, "Oh, Lao Liu just asked me to find two more people to play cards with you tonight. You're here, so I'll find someone else and play for a while after the banquet."
"Lao Gao, you really haven't changed in all these years. You still think about playing cards every day."
Although Huo Yikang complained about the dean, he didn't actually refuse.
Dean Gao pointed at Lin Zhixing and said, "Why don't you bring your favorite assistant along to make up the numbers?"
Lin Zhixing was stunned.
I didn't expect that two old friends would bring me along when they made plans to play cards.
Deep down, she didn't want to join in this reunion with her old friends, and was just thinking of some excuse to refuse...
"What are you guys chatting about? Is it convenient for me to join in?"
A familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Lin Zhixing looked back and saw He Yanchen standing beside her without her knowing when, holding a wine glass in his hand. He didn't look at her, but his eyes were on Dean Gao.
"Mr. He!" Dean Gao noticed He Yanchen and looked surprised. "I'm trying to invite my junior brothers to play cards. We're short one. Do you want to join us?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in playing cards."
He Yanchen answered quickly and directly.
The attitude of rejection is also very clear.
The status of men in Beicheng is self-evident, and Dean Gao did not dare to persuade him like he did to Huo Yikang.
Dean Gao's eyes fell on Lin Zhixing, "Yikang, does your assistant know how to play cards? If so, come along. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to call anyone outside."
"Zhixing, can you play cards?"
Huo Yikang's eyes fell on Lin Zhixing's face, and his tone was casual.
Asking this also gives her a way out.
"I……"
Before Lin Zhixing answered, he couldn't help but look at He Yanchen.
Dean Gao noticed her gaze and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, I know Director He is good-looking and you young people like him, but you can't catch up with his status. Come play cards with us, and I will introduce you to the youngest director of our hospital next time!"
Lin Zhixing's face flushed instantly, and without thinking, he said, "That's not what I meant. I, I know how to play cards, but I'm not very good at it."
Dean Gao stopped teasing her and said, "It's fine as long as you know it. It's fine as long as you know it. We are just having fun. Just have fun."
Lin Zhixing didn't lie either.
She does know how to play several kinds of cards, and she learned them from Yin Ruyun.
During the holidays, she would gather people at home to play cards, sometimes mahjong, sometimes poker.
I will definitely call her when I am short of people.
In order to please Yin Ruyun and to be a useful person in this family, Lin Zhixing learned many kinds of chess and cards little by little.
"Mr. He!"
Someone next to him called He Yanchen.
He Yanchen raised his wine glass and said "Excuse me" politely before turning and leaving.
Throughout the whole process, he treated Lin Zhixing like an outsider.
Lin Zhixing knew in her heart that this was what she wanted. They cooperated in acting to deceive others in Beicheng, and they naturally didn't need to do that once they left Beicheng.
This was his normal attitude towards her.
Given their friendship, shouldn't this be how their relationship should be?
Dean Gao and Huo Yikang were still talking about playing cards later.
After about a few minutes, she couldn't help but turn back to look for He Yanchen.
The entire banquet hall is very large and there are many guests.
Even so, she could find the man at a glance...
He Yanchen is so superior in both appearance and temperament that no matter how many people he stands among, he will always be the focus.
At this moment, the man seemed to be chatting with a father and daughter.
The daughter looked to be in her early twenties, and when she looked at He Yanchen, her expression was full of obvious admiration and love.
The man didn't know if he felt her gaze, but he tilted his head towards her intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Zhixing quickly looked away.
Dean Gao was right just now. The gap between them was too big. If it weren't for her face being similar to Liu Nian's, it would be almost impossible for the two of them to have more interactions.
Soon, President Gao's assistant found a place to play cards.
Lin Zhixing left with Huo Yikang.
The entire game lasted more than four hours.
Lin Zhixing is a good student and good at counting cards, and his actual level is not bad.
only……
Playing cards is all about social etiquette.
During these four hours, she had been secretly controlling her wins and losses. She didn't lose all the time, and if she did win, it would only be a little bit.
When she left, the chips representing the prizes on the table were almost the same as when she arrived.
It was almost midnight when Lin Zhixing returned to the hotel.
She was just about to go to the bathroom to remove her makeup...
The phone in my pocket rang.
It was a call from He Yanchen.
"Why aren't you asleep yet at this hour?" Lin Zhixing muttered softly, but still picked up the phone.
"Doctor Lin, my wound needs to be cleaned. I'll send you the room number on my phone."
The man's voice sounded as if it was natural.
The tone had changed significantly from before, becoming tougher and more like an order.
Lin Zhixing straightened up slightly, turned off the faucet, and said politely, "Well, I'll be upstairs right away. Please wait a moment."
She wouldn't be surprised if anyone from the He family spoke to her in this tone.
He Yanchen probably knew something and stopped pretending.
Okay.
Lin Zhixing felt fortunate.
At least……
It can wake her up.
