Seeing Yi Lele pointing to the room opposite, Su Ruyi was momentarily speechless.
Looking at Su Qiushi, the latter quickly said, "I'm fine with anything, Ruyi, you can arrange it however you like!"
"Promise me! I'll pay the rent, okay? I can clean, I can do it!" Yilele continued to plead.
Su Ruyi was unable to resist her persistence and naturally liked this straightforward girl very much, so she nodded: "Okay, you don't need to pay rent, but you must not cause any trouble."
"Mmm-hmm!" Yi Lele repeatedly assured, "I promise I won't leave the house, not even stepping outside."
Su Qiushi was amused by the two, and the oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard was swept away.
The next morning, Su Ruyi packed her bicycle and prepared to go out.
While brushing her teeth, Yi Lele asked in surprise with her mouth full of white foam, "Sister Ruyi, where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi remembered to ask, "Lele, how old are you?"
Yi Lele grinned: "Seventeen."
Su Ruyi said helplessly, "I'm fifteen."
Yi Lele quickly stuck out her tongue: "So it's Ruyi, little sister. But you look so composed, it makes me unconsciously think of you as an older sister to rely on... How about I call you Ruyi from now on? I'll call you Ruyi, and you can call me Lele. Let's not be so formal with each other, okay?"
Su Ruyi deliberately put on a stern face: "You have to call me teacher."
"Okay, okay! Teacher Ruyi! Little Teacher Ruyi! Little Sister Ruyi Teacher!" Yi Lele shouted indiscriminately, laughing and joking for a while, then asked seriously, "Teacher Ruyi, where are you going?"
Su Ruyi said frankly, "I need to go see Shen Heping. I have something to discuss with Shen Dongliang, but he refuses to see me now—no, it's that I can't see him."
"What's going on?" Yi Lele's gossip-loving fire immediately ignited.
Su Ruyi had no choice but to tell Yi Lele the whole story of her last confrontation with Zhang Xiaozhen.
"Ha, my Uncle Shen, that's just the kind of person he is! When he's in love, he loses his mind! When he was seeing my Aunt Jiang... never mind, I'm just talking badly about him! -- How about this, I'll go with you, I also have something to say to Brother Heping." Yi Lele stuck out her tongue.
So Su Ruyi rode her bicycle with Yi Lele, and the two of them arrived at Tieshi People's Hospital.
When Shen Heping saw Yi Lele and Su Ruyi appear in front of him at the same time, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets: "What are you two doing...?"
Su Ruyi and Yi Lele exchanged a glance and laughed. Yi Lele deliberately said, "Brother Heping, now that we're both standing in front of you, you have to choose one."
Shen Heping's face turned pale instantly: "This... I choose Ruyi."
Yi Lele's face turned ashen for a moment: "Brother Heping, will you never learn to be tactful in your entire life?"
Shen Heping only looked at Su Ruyi: "I'm sorry, Lele, I choose Ruyi, I only choose Ruyi."
Su Ruyi scoffed, "You wish! Who's standing here choosing for you? We were just joking, and you actually took it seriously?"
Yi Lele clapped her hands and laughed, "That's right! Look how nervous you are, sweating all over. Brother Heping, Brother Heping! It's no wonder I don't like you. You might fool those naive young girls in the compound, but you have no chance with me! Let alone my teacher Ruyi!"
"Teacher Ruyi?" Ji Xuchang frowned.
“Yes, I’ve already become Ruyi’s student. I’ll be her student from now on.” Yi Lele said excitedly. “You don’t know, Ruyi is now a teacher in a training class of 50 people! But I’m different. I became Ruyi’s student directly. She is my master and I am her apprentice.”
"What? Lele? Are you going to stay here and not leave?" Shen Heping asked anxiously. "Do you think your parents will agree to this? I even received a call from your dad yesterday, asking if I had seen you!"
"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry?" Yi Lele said unhappily. "How could he possibly care about my affairs? But I must make it clear beforehand, my staying here has nothing to do with you. It's simply because I like my Sister Ruyi, oh no, Teacher Ruyi."
Upon hearing this, Shen Heping breathed a sigh of relief. His heart, which had been still for a while, started beating again, and color returned to his face: "You two really scared me to death!"
Su Ruyi then asked, "Brother Heping, I'd like to contact General Shen. Do you have a way to do that?"
Shen Heping asked curiously, "Why don't you just contact my second uncle directly? Or you can call him!"
“I can’t get through on the phone. Zhang Xiaozhen said that calls from Dingjiatun are not allowed to be transferred.” Su Ruyi had no choice but to tell Shen Heping about her confrontation with Zhang Xiaozhen again.
Shen Heping frowned deeply: "Zhang Xiaozhen? Is that the female doctor who kept delaying my treatment?"
Su Ruyi nodded repeatedly.
Shen Heping was furious: "Why is Second Uncle acting like this again? The last time he went to see Jiang Chunlai, it was the same thing. Everyone tried to persuade him, but no one could stop him."
Su Ruyi naturally understood—people like General Shen would be called love-struck in later generations, but that term hadn't been invented yet, and she couldn't say it. She simply pursed her lips and said, "You should be able to contact him, right?"
Shen Heping nodded quickly: "I'll call him right now."
As he spoke, he picked up his slippers and ran towards the nurses' station.
Three minutes later, he returned with a big smile and said, "Ruyi, my second uncle said he'll send someone to pick you up right now. Just wait for him here."
"Thank you, Brother Heping." Shen Heping smiled gently. "Why are you being so polite with me, Ruyi!"
Watching the two of them from the side, Yi Lele couldn't help but rub her face with her hand: "Shen Heping! What goes around comes around! Finally, someone can keep you in check! It's really not easy!"
Although the two were betrothed as children, they disliked each other and always argued whenever they got together. The adults from both families said that fighting was a sign of affection and scolding was a sign of love, but in reality, the two were extremely disgusted with each other.
Now that things are out in the open, everyone feels much more relaxed, and Ye Lele can even joke around with Shen Heping in a very natural way.
More than half an hour later, Xiao Fang arrived at the ward, panting heavily: "Dr. Su, I'm so sorry! The general asked me to apologize to you first, please don't mind."
"Not at all." Su Ruyi stood up and left with Xiao Fang.
Upon reaching the door, Xiao Fang asked in surprise, "Dr. Su, why did you come on a bicycle? Didn't the general return the motorcycle to you?"
"You gave it back to me? When?" Su Ruyi was even more surprised than him.
