When Chen Yao placed the cute lazy cat figurine in her palm and looked at it carefully, Pei Shuo seemed to feel his heart skip a beat.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but the anticipation and satisfaction that surged out of his heart, which he couldn't control at all, soaked him from head to toe.
Chen Yao's slender and beautiful fingertips gently touched the smooth outer body of the cat ornament back and forth, and her eyes were full of obvious affection. "Dr. Pei, thank you, I like it very much."
Pei Shuo's eyes rested on Shen Yao's gently moving fingertips, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "As long as you like it."
Chen Yao glanced at him and suddenly remembered that he had refused her invitation to dinner before. Her face changed slightly and she was about to bring up the old matter again.
"Doctor Pei, I have accepted the gift you gave me. Now, if I want to treat you to a meal later, will you refuse?"
Pei Shuo was stunned, recalling the scene at that time. At that time, all he thought about was the sense of propriety and distance between doctors and patients, so he rejected Chen Yao's personal thanks without a second thought.
But now, if he and Shen Yao are already friends...
Having a meal together among friends is a very normal thing.
"I..." Pei Shuo's lips moved, "I won't refuse."
Chen Yao couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll choose the time and place."
"Okay." Pei Shuo pursed his lips, and suddenly an impulse surged in his heart. He asked the smiling person in front of him: "Chen Yao, are we friends now?"
Chen Yao raised her eyes, looked at him straight, and asked, "Doctor Pei, what do you think?"
Pei Shuo's heart tightened, and his hands unconsciously clenched slightly, thinking: It should count.
Chen Yao didn't wait for his answer, but said in an ambiguous tone: "Who would want to miss such a good person like Dr. Pei?"
Pei Shuo's ears turned red almost instantly, and an indescribable heat surged up from the bottom, spreading from his ears to his cheeks. He became nervous and tried to calm himself down, not to analyze every word or let his mind wander.
Chen Yao stopped when she saw that things were going well, and added with a smile: "So, of course we are friends now."
After Pei Shuo regained his breathing rhythm, he made an extremely uncomfortably sounded "hmm" in response.
Chen Yao walked to the bedside and placed the cat figurine she had been holding on the table closest to the bed. She also carefully adjusted its position and angle to ensure that she could see its cutest side while lying in bed.
However, when she saw it lying lazily, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her mind, and she paused as if she suddenly realized something.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the cat's lazy lying posture was a bit like her real state some time ago when she was lying in bed with a dizzy head and didn't want to move at all.
Um?
So did Pei Shuo do it intentionally or unintentionally?
She turned around and looked at him meaningfully, but finally held back and didn't ask anything.
"What's wrong?" Pei Shuo asked.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you how you felt about your business trip during this period." Chen Yao said casually.
"Not bad." Pei Shuo thought of some information he had learned about scar removal from his old dermatology classmate Yu Wei, and said, "During this business trip, I also met a classmate who works in dermatology. I talked to him about the timing, medication, and precautions for scar removal. I'll talk to the dermatologists here and ask them to prescribe medicine for you. Some medicines may not be available at the hospital yet, so I'll wait and see after I talk to them."
Chen Yao was really touched. She didn't expect that Pei Shuo was still concerned about her even when he was on a business trip.
She raised her eyes to look at him and said sincerely, "Pei Shuo, thank you so much."
Pei Shuo smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite."
......
After Pei Shuo left, Xiao Yin tiptoed back to the ward and saw Chen Yao staring at an extra ornament on the table near the bed. She curiously moved over and asked, "Sister, where did this come from? It looks quite cute."
Chen Yao was thinking about something and was startled by her sudden appearance. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Baby, how come you came in without making any noise?"
Xiaoyin said innocently, "Sister, you're just too focused. What's wrong? Who gave you this kitten?"
Chen Yao: "Guess."
Xiaoyin took a look at the packaging bag on the ground and immediately knew the answer: "So it was sent by Doctor Pei."
Chen Yao nodded.
Xiaoyin smiled, then suddenly remembered the nature of Chen Yao's work, and reminded her: "Oh, sister, Sister Xu told me before that if you ever want to have a relationship, you need to report it to her first, so as not to be caught off guard by any unexpected revelations."
Chen Yao's eyes moved slightly, and she whispered, "It hasn't even started yet, who knows when it will happen..."
Xiaoyin couldn't hear clearly and widened her eyes in confusion, "Sister, what did you say?"
Chen Yao: "I said, I know."
Xiaoyin: "That's good."
In the following time, they discussed some unfinished work in the ward before Xiaoyin packed up and left.
Not long after she left, Zhou Xiuran came over to see Chen Yao with dinner.
"Your parents are a bit busy and don't have time to come over in the evening, so your uncle will have dinner with you today." Zhou Xiuran placed the food boxes neatly and waved to Chen Yao, who was lazily lying on the bed and relaxing.
Chen Yao slowly got up from the bed, put on her shoes and walked over. "Uncle, it's okay. I'll be discharged in a few days. If you're busy, you don't have to come and accompany me. By the way, thank you uncle for helping me greet those partners. Otherwise, I would have a headache here."
Zhou Xiuran helped her a lot with her work. This time, the partners were willing to wait for her because of her uncle's face. If her uncle had not greeted them one by one, it would not be Xiaoyin who came to talk about the work progress today, but Sister Xu, and she was in a worried state.
Zhou Xiuran waved his hand and said with a smile, "Haven't I helped you with enough things? They're all trivial matters, so you don't have to think too much. Come, sit down and eat. These dishes are what you usually like. I specifically told them to use less oil and less salt."
Chen Yao smiled and said, "Okay."
