But Shen Nanxing never expected that on that day she would see another woman sitting next to Chi Zhao.
They were so intimate, so loving. At that moment, Shen Nanxing felt like a fool. Her blood seemed to run cold. She couldn't comprehend it.
What does this mean? What does her long-term affection mean?
After leaving that night, she went to a bar alone and drank all night. It was while she was drunk that Chi Zhao appeared again.
He came alone this time, without anyone by his side.
That was the first time Shen Nanxing questioned Chi Zhao.
She asked him if he didn't like her at all? If he had no feelings for her whatsoever? Chi Zhao didn't answer her directly at the time, but pulled her up from her seat and said something.
—I'll take you home.
Her first reaction was to shake off Chi Zhao. She was in a terrible mood. Never before had she felt so angry. She pointed at Chen Lin, her mind so foggy that her words were incoherent, but she still managed to ask that question.
"Do you think I'm stupid, Chi Zhao? If not, why are you lying to me like this?"
After she shouted that question that day, Chi Zhao remained silent for a long time before speaking again. His voice was as cold as ever, making Shen Nanxing feel no warmth at all.
That day, she finally calmed down, and the alcohol made her lose consciousness.
I woke up again the next day.
That night, Chi Zhao took her home, but no matter whether he took her home or did anything else heartwarming, she felt nothing.
All she could think about was Chi Zhao's cold, hard words.
—I don't like you, and I don't love you. How long are you going to keep making a scene?
Listen to that, what a ridiculous question! He asked her how long she was going to keep making a scene. It turns out that all her passion, her persistence, her humility, and her subservience over the years were just nonsense in his eyes.
After that day, she was sick for a very long time. When her friends came to visit her, they all asked her what was wrong, how could a doctor make herself so sick.
At that moment, there was only one sentence that Shen Nanxing could think of.
The saying goes, "A doctor cannot heal himself."
She lost to Chi Zhao.
They lost miserably, utterly and completely.
If Chi Zhao was the pain of her youth, then Zhou Jiamu, who appeared later, was real, warming and touching her with his love, his tolerance, and his perseverance.
She first met Zhou Jiamu when she was on a business trip.
She hadn't fully recovered from what happened with Chi Zhao when the hospital offered her a business trip to another city. She felt that staying in Nancheng would be unbearable, so she applied to the hospital to go to another city.
She met Zhou Jiamu when she had finished her work and was taking a walk by the river out of boredom. Coincidentally, an old man fell down while she was walking by the river that day, and she happened to see him. She immediately gave the old man first aid, and Zhou Jiamu took a picture of that scene.
Unlike the negative news stories in society, the old man she saved did not extort money from her.
Instead, they found her through the photos Zhou Jiamu took, treated her to a meal, and thanked her.
Zhou Jiamu was also at that dinner party, which ended later.
Ye Xinning returned to the hotel, but just before leaving, Zhou Jiamu stood in front of her and said something.
—Hello, could you please give me your contact information?
If this had happened under any other circumstances, Shen Nanxing would have definitely thought that the person was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation.
But on that day, something inexplicable happened.
Looking at Zhou Jiamu's aloof temperament, outstanding appearance, and clean face, she still gave him her contact information.
After giving out her contact information, she did not receive any text messages or phone calls from Zhou Jiamu.
After returning to Nancheng, she forgot about the incident.
The next time I saw Zhou Jiamu was in the corridor of the hospital where she worked.
Zhou Jiamu was holding a child who had a fever and was crying loudly. He was comforting the child, saying repeatedly that it was okay, that it didn't hurt.
That day, she went over, greeted Zhou Jiamu, and helped him get his child admitted to the hospital smoothly.
After that, they had more and more contact. Zhou Jiamu would bring him food to the hospital and would also say thank you after she helped that child.
It was only later that she learned that the child had no blood relation to Zhou Jiamu; he was just an orphan she had met on the roadside.
But he was able to help that child, from hospitalization to discharge, and even help the child find an orphanage.
He did everything patiently and tirelessly.
Zhou Jiamu is very kind and loving; it's a gentleness that comes from the depths of his heart.
She succumbed to such tenderness.
So later, when Zhou Jiamu asked her out for dinner, he nervously told her...
I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?
She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Later, whenever Shen Nanxing thought about that moment, he would always think about it.
Is it love? Is it just liking?
It's probably neither; at most, it's just a feeling of goodwill, and that so-called goodwill supported her in agreeing to Zhou Jiamu's request.
Her impulsive decision led her to regret it the very next day after agreeing to Zhou Jiamu's proposal. She still had feelings for Chi Zhao; how could she be with Zhou Jiamu?
Realizing this, she kept looking for opportunities to talk to Zhou Jiamu, but Zhou Jiamu's thoughtfulness, gentleness, and attentiveness to her in big and small matters made her hesitate to speak each time.
