After the call connected, Zhao Lei asked with delight, "Hey, Zhang Yi, I heard you're back?"
A pleasant voice came through the phone, "Oh, Zhao Lei, I heard you've started working at the First Affiliated Hospital too? I'm on duty in your neurosurgery department right now. Where are you and Xi Yan? Let's have lunch together!"
"Haha, great! It's Saturday today, only a half-day! Wait for me, I'll come find you!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lei ran to the duty room.
Soon, Zhao Lei met Zhang Yi.
It's been two or three years since the two of them last saw each other.
Zhao Lei was stunned when he first saw Zhang Yi.
At this moment, a girl was sitting in the duty room.
From the doorway, her S-shaped back view was exceptionally graceful and elegant. Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, much like a Pantene shampoo advertisement. A beige knit sweater, resembling striped chocolate, made her already fair neck appear even whiter and more delicate. The tight fit accentuated her slender waist perfectly.
In that instant, Zhao Lei was mesmerized.
Speaking of which, his father and Zhang Yi's father were close friends, even closer than the Yu family.
groove!
Pursuing Yu Xiyan is so difficult, I might as well just pursue Zhang Yi instead. That woman is really something else!
Over the years, Zhao Lei often saw Zhang Yi's photos on WeChat Moments. He remembered Zhang Yi as having an average appearance, but she has become more and more charming in recent years!
Moreover, he remembered that Zhang Yi had been interested in him before and had even secretly sent him autumn spinach. If he confessed his feelings, he thought he could win her over in no time!
Thinking about this, Zhao Lei was extremely excited.
She couldn't help but swallow hard, and called out expectantly, "Zhang Yi!"
Zhang Yi paused for a moment, then immediately turned around.
However, the next second, Zhao Lei's expression immediately froze.
Holy crap!
This isn't quite what I imagined, damn it!
That round face, those double eyelids—even a proctologist with hemorrhoids would cry.
This is a classic case of botched plastic surgery!
What a waste of such a great figure, she's a total head-turner!
In that instant, Zhao Lei was greatly disappointed. The chicken immediately stopped moving, and his previous thoughts vanished.
"Zhao Lei, haha, I've missed you so much!"
However, Zhang Yi was oblivious to all of this, and instead excitedly pounced on Zhao Lei, clinging to him.
"Hey, hey, hey! Get down, get down! This is a hospital, what are you doing! If you keep doing this, how am I supposed to find a girlfriend in the future!" Zhao Lei pulled her down with a look of disgust.
Zhang Yi pouted, jumped down, and said irritably, "You're still the same as before, looking down on me! I know, you just like Xi Yan!"
Zhao Lei immediately looked embarrassed. "Zhang Yi, look at you. We're childhood friends, grew up in the same compound, and played in the mud together since we were little. How could I look down on you? We're not at work, I'm afraid people will gossip!"
Hearing him say that, Zhang Yi's expression softened a bit. "I know! I was just teasing you! Besides, I have a boyfriend now, so don't worry, I won't cling to you like before! Do you really think you're so special?"
Zhang Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Oh, by the way, where's Xiyan? I saw she left her phone here, that's why I called you. Where did she go?" Zhang Yi asked.
Upon hearing her question, Zhao Lei's face immediately darkened, and he angrily sat down to the side.
Zhang Yi paused for a moment, then sat down next to him. "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight? Hehe, you two are together now, right? She was so happy you went back to Xidu for her, wasn't she? Tell me, when are you getting married? I've already prepared the red envelope!"
Zhao Lei said irritably, "Marriage?! She's out of her mind, bewitched by some quack doctor! It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, what kind of marriage is she going to have with me!"
"What? A quack doctor?" Zhang Yi's expression showed slight surprise.
Zhao Lei quickly recounted Lin Yu's story.
However, they didn't say Lin Yu was a miracle doctor; instead, they said he was a charlatan who didn't even have a medical license. They even embellished the story, fabricated it out of thin air, and made up all sorts of rumors about Lin Yu.
Finally, Zhao Lei sighed and said, "I never imagined that my childhood friend, a PhD graduate, would be less important than a quack doctor in Xi Yan's eyes. What's the use of all those years of studying? Sigh..."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi had already put herself in Lin Yu's shoes, imagining him as a manipulative, scheming man. She clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth in anger, "That Lin Yu is a complete scoundrel! Xi Yan is so foolish, she's gone crazy from studying, how could she like such trashy men!"
"Sigh!" Zhao Lei sighed. "You can't say that. Maybe it's fate... Actually, whether Xiyan is with me or not has nothing to do with me. As her childhood friend, I want the best for her. Even if she doesn't choose me, I don't want her to be with a man like that! Otherwise, her life will be ruined!"
Zhang Yi nodded emphatically, saying with righteous indignation, "That's right! We absolutely cannot let this bastard surnamed Lin succeed! As his best friend, I can't just stand by and watch Xiyan be ruined!"
At the same time, she comforted Zhao Lei, saying, "Don't be discouraged! People need to get along. You and Xiyan have only been apart for a long time, which is why this bastard took advantage of the situation. As long as Xiyan discovers your strengths, she will understand who is the right person for her!"
Zhao Lei immediately touched Zhang Yi's fair thigh and said pitifully, "Zhang Yi, we've been friends since childhood, you have to help me! As long as you can help me get Xi Yan back, I'll agree to anything!"
Zhang Yi trembled and immediately pulled his hand away. "Okay! We're childhood friends, of course I'll help you. Don't touch me!"
