Even the toughest of men can be easily destroyed.
He was completely destroyed by her.
Your body tells you more than anyone else. No matter how much you try to appear calm, it's all in vain.
He slowly turned around, leaving his back to her.
This time, the shirt sleeves were easily put on, and it seemed that a silent understanding had been established between the two.
"Turn around, let me help you button it up."
He obediently turned around as she instructed.
The girl carefully buttoned his shirt, and he couldn't take his eyes off her earnest face.
“You need to go lower, I’ll put the straps under your collar.”
Qiao Muting spread his legs and lowered his body, leaving space in front of him so that Qian Lai could stand closer.
As the girl flipped up his collar and straightened the straps, her cheek almost touched his ear.
His heart seemed to stop abruptly, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Too close!
He could almost feel the fine hairs on her ears constantly rubbing against his ear tips. The sensation was so subtle that it only made him more restless and aroused.
The girl carefully straightened his collar, her breath sweet and fragrant, spraying all over the back of his neck.
After 26 years of living as an ordinary person, today it feels like a flower in full bloom.
How could he possibly withstand all that!
The familiar scent of gardenias in the girl's hair stirred his imagination.
Her slender fingers accidentally touched a sensitive spot on his neck, and that one touch was all it took to ruin him!
A simple tap can brighten up your beautiful life!
He can't control it, he has absolutely no control over it!
He was truly impressed!
In my lifetime, I have seen another side of myself, a side completely opposite to my aloof and self-possessed self.
Fortunately, the girl in front of me was innocent enough to be completely unaware of all the sleazy undercurrents.
Looking into her innocent and wide eyes as she blinked at him, he even felt that thinking about her any further would be a desecration of her.
But this is just a normal reaction that any man would have!
No, he wouldn't allow it, especially not to her.
"Alright, can you handle the rest yourself?"
Even if you can't, you have to be able to.
Qian Lai pushed open the locker door, already drenched in sweat.
"How long have you been married? Your relationship is so good." The female doctor smiled, giving off an "I understand you two" look.
"We, we... are not..."
"What? Not husband and wife? That won't do. Then what are you two doing..."
This is a crime that is considered immoral and constitutes "corruption of social morality".
She was familiar with this charge; her aunt, Qin Hongxiang, had taught her about it.
She almost forgot that she lived in the 1970s.
"I was just saying, we only recently got married, so our relationship is still pretty good, hehe~" Qian Lai, afraid of making things worse, called out towards the locker, "Honey, are you done yet?"
The word "boss" made Qiao Muting's heart flutter with joy, sweeter than honey, and he couldn't help but smile.
Emerging from the infirmary, Qian Lai couldn't help but laugh. Recalling his awkward moment in the locker room, he felt just like a naive high school student.
Looking up, I saw the clock on the Party newspaper building; it was already pointing to two o'clock.
Seeing that lunchtime had passed, the two decided to sit down at the International Club Café near the newspaper office.
On the second floor of the coffee shop, only a few tables of customers were chatting quietly.
Qiao Muting chose a quiet corner, and Qian Lai sighed inwardly, wondering if they were telepathically connected.
This is exactly the spot Fang Wenxue chose last time.
The two of them each ordered a coffee, a mille-feuille, and two small cakes.
The coffee was served quickly. Qiao Muting skillfully opened the small sugar jar and asked Qian Lai, "Xiaoran, how many sugar cubes would you like?"
Xiao Ran!
Haha, he probably thought that was his real name.
Qian Lai didn't correct him. Perhaps after talking about the children this time, they would never see each other again.
"I like it with just milk and no sugar. I'll do it myself."
She no longer seemed as distant and aloof as she had been in the dressing room.
Qiao Muting's mood was like a rollercoaster ride; this girl's thoughts were truly unpredictable.
"We've known each other for so long, and we still don't know if you're from Nancheng or Xinshi?"
"I'm from Nancheng. Dr. Qiao is from Beijing, right?"
"Yes, that's right. I'm from Beijing. I haven't formally introduced myself to you yet. My name is Qiao Muting, and I'm a neurosurgeon at the General Hospital of the Military Region."
Is he a neurosurgeon?
Qian Lai is now particularly sensitive to the words "neurosurgery".
Even if the experiment succeeds in the future, it will still require the cooperation of a highly skilled doctor who fully trusts her to carry out the surgery.
Because the technology came entirely from a later laboratory, she had no way of explaining its origin to people of this era. Unless they truly believed her, who would risk going to the operating table?
It's still a crucial major operation performed on someone like Gu Hanchuan.
Therefore, in this surgery, the partner is more important than the "artificial neuron" itself.
"Xiaoran, we've known each other for so long, there's no need to be so polite. You always call me Dr. Qiao. Just call me by my name."
Why does he blush even just imagining her calling him "Mu Ting"?
"Neurosurgery places extremely high demands on doctors. The surgery targets either the brain or nerves, and often lasts for several hours or even more than ten hours. It requires extraordinary care and patience, as well as good physical strength, good eyesight, and strong psychological qualities."
