Chapter 79: Kick the brother bitch away and invite that gentle teacher to have tea (10)
The orchid juice in Li Ziyan's mouth suddenly seemed to be full of temperature, and it felt very hot. If he hadn't had some control, Cheng Han's face would probably be a mess by now.
Li Ziyan lowered his head and didn't let the other person see the emotions in his eyes.
"Ah, Aze is the same. I told you not to worry about me, but you always treat me like a child," Cheng Han smiled, her fingertips tangled with pink hair, "Doctor Li, Aze is actually quite difficult to get along with. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"We are colleagues, and it is natural for us to help each other. Teacher Gu is lucky to have a friend like Miss Cheng." Li Ziyan's words were actually quite calm, without any personal emotions.
But maybe it was because the word "friend" hit Cheng Han's sore spot, Cheng Han's expression froze for a moment, and the look he gave Li Ziyan became much sharper.
"Doctor Li, you're truly excellent, but you two aren't a good match. Otherwise, I'd also like to bring you together." Cheng Han sighed, his tone tinged with regret. "But it's fine if you're just colleagues. After all, I don't want you to have any arguments over your relationship in the future; that would be bad. But whether you're lovers, friends, or colleagues, it's better to keep your distance, right?"
Li Ziyan smiled, nodded, and said nothing.
The meeting was calm on the surface, but hostile inside. The two men really had nothing to communicate, so they sat for a while and then returned to the military academy together.
Gu Chengze was not feeling at peace at school. He didn't know where the uneasiness and nervousness came from. He was always afraid that something might happen. He was absent-minded throughout the whole meeting. As soon as the meeting ended, he picked up the communicator and went straight to the infirmary.
"Aze! Over here!"
Gu Chengze paused, turned around, and saw Cheng Han jumping towards him. Not far behind Cheng Han was standing Li Ziyan. However, after seeing him, the corners of Li Ziyan's mouth raised, then quickly froze, and the arc gradually narrowed. In the end, he just nodded to him.
"Did you enjoy your conversation?"
"Happy! Of course I'm happy! Doctor Li is so gentle, you're so lucky!" Cheng Han hugged Gu Chengze's arm, his face full of sunshine and liveliness, and a little bit of mischief, and said in a coquettish tone, "Aze, let's go eat, I'm hungry!"
Gu Chengze frowned slightly, moved his arm, and pulled out his hand while taking the document. He took a few steps towards Li Ziyan and put some distance between himself and Cheng Han.
"Zi Yan, let's go and eat together."
"...I guess I can't." Li Ziyan lowered his eyes, shook his head, and took a step back. "There are still some things to take care of in the infirmary, so I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Miss Cheng, and Teacher Gu."
"Zi Yan!"
Li Ziyan turned and left without stopping or even looking back. Gu Chengze's frown deepened and he wanted to chase after him, but Cheng Han hugged his arm.
"Okay, Aze, let's go eat. Doctor Li looks so anxious, maybe something really happened. I have already reserved a table, let's go!" Cheng Han did not pull Gu Chengze's arm again, but put his arm around Gu Chengze's shoulders like brothers.
The person could no longer be caught up. Gu Chengze was led away by Cheng Han, but his eyes were looking at the place where Li Ziyan left, with a deep look.
After dinner, Cheng Han and Gu Chengze wanted to go out and play nearby, but Gu Chengze refused on the grounds that he was busy with work. Perhaps Cheng Han realized that he had been too impatient recently and was afraid of causing Gu Chengze's dissatisfaction and disgust, so he could only obey and nodded in agreement.
After Cheng Han got on the aircraft, Gu Chengze turned around and went straight to the infirmary.
"Zi Yan," Gu Chengze knocked on the door. The person in the room looked up and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw him.
"Teacher Gu? Why are you here?"
"...Come to see you, have you had lunch?"
"I have eaten. I'm really sorry to trouble you, Teacher Gu." Li Ziyan nodded a little embarrassedly. He wanted to get a glass of water for Gu Chengze, but saw that the other party put the exquisite packaging box in his hand on the table.
"Just now, I was afraid that you wouldn't eat, so I bought some snacks to nourish your stomach. You can eat them in the evening."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu. How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Li Ziyan's attitude was a little too polite. He treated Gu Chengze more like a stranger he just met than a friend.
For some reason, such thoughts and feelings made Gu Chengze feel a little sour in his heart, even a faint pain. He reached out and pushed his glasses to hide the trace of puzzled hurt in his eyes.
"I thought we were friends, Zi Yan, no need to be so polite."
"..." Li Ziyan paused for a moment, opened his mouth, but did not answer, "Teacher Gu, you are such a kind person. Miss Cheng is so lucky to be your friend."
"We are friends too."
"Teacher Gu, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
Li Ziyan lowered his eyebrows. Gu Chengze didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that there was a hint of red at the corners of Li Ziyan's eyes.
"How long have you known Miss Cheng?"
"About five or six years ago. We've known each other since junior high school."
"Is that so? I'm really lucky..." Li Ziyan murmured softly, as if the words fell on Gu Chengze's heart, making his heart tremble a little.
The originally harmonious and intimate atmosphere disappeared for some reason. Because Li Ziyan still had work to do in the infirmary, Gu Chengze had to leave.
It was also from this day that Gu Chengze discovered that Li Ziyan's contact with him seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, as if he had been avoiding him and didn't want to have anything to do with him.
It turned out that this was not just his guess, it was a fact.
"Why isn't Dr. Li here?"
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li and I switched shifts. I was originally on the night shift, but Xiao Li said he was young and energetic, so he insisted on switching with me." Doctor Wang shook his head, his eyes full of admiration. "This kid, you said there's no one at home who cares about him. He's alone all day long. Sigh."
Doctor Wang sighed, but he didn't know that the person listening to him was frowning and feeling a tightness in his heart.
Yes, he knew the first time they met that this little guide was alone, coming here alone, with no one to take care of him and no friends.
But why should I avoid him? I even changed my working hours just to avoid meeting him. Why?
Gu Chengze stood in the infirmary, recalling the day Li Ziyan began to avoid him. Nothing unexpected happened, except for Cheng Han meeting Li Ziyan...
A guess slowly formed in his mind. Gu Chengze frowned, and his usually gentle eyes were a little cold at this moment.
