In the days that followed, Shen Qingmiao could always see his second brother chatting and laughing with the nurse. If there was nothing fishy going on between the two, Shen Qingmiao could only say that he was blind.
Every time Shen Qingmiao wanted to ask something, Shen Jianjun would deliberately find an excuse to change the subject.
It has taken so long and nothing has been confirmed. Could it be that my second brother is afraid to speak up?
The more Shen Qingmiao thought about it, the more likely his guess seemed to be true. Shen Qingmiao was so anxious that she wanted to step forward and confess on behalf of her second brother.
If you don't grab such a good girl, do you want others to get there first?
Shen Qingmiao had noticed that the girl his second brother had taken a fancy to was not only good-looking but also gentle, and there were quite a few people who wanted to pursue her. She treated his second brother with such gentleness and care that anyone with a discerning eye could see her affection for him.
Sometimes Shen Qingmiao would see this girl being asked about emotional problems by patients' families, but her second brother never took the initiative. It seemed that she needed to have a good talk with her second brother.
We can't let such a good sister-in-law run away.
It has been half a month since Shen Qingmiao came to the hospital. During this period, Gu Jingyuan and Shen Jianjun's health has recovered greatly, and they can at least move around a little on their own.
I have to say, being young means recovery is easy.
That day, Shen Qingmiao pushed Shen Jianjun out for a walk and met the girl on the way.
As soon as the girl saw the second brother, her eyes were glued to him, making Shen Qingmiao suspect that he was an invisible man.
"Comrade Shen, taking a walk is good for your recovery." The girl looked at Shen Jianjun with sparkling eyes.
Shen Jianjun was naturally the same. Although he remained calm on the surface, his words still revealed his happiness. "Yes. Nurse Zhou, where are you going?"
Nurse Zhou raised the things in her hand and said, "I'm going to change the medicine for the patient."
"Nurse Zhou has worked so hard. We are all very grateful to her."
"No way." Hearing Shen Jianjun's praise, Nurse Zhou blushed slightly and looked shy.
"Comrade Shen is a hero, he shed blood and sweat for our country. I've heard them say that you, Comrade Shen, have made great contributions." As she spoke, her eyes were filled with admiration. In Shen Qingmiao's opinion, it was the behavior of a little fangirl.
Shen Qingmiao probably guessed why Nurse Zhou fell in love with her second brother.
Shen Qingmiao perfectly played the role of a background board. She stayed quietly behind Shen Jianjun without saying a word, watching the two of them flatter each other.
After chatting for a while, Shen Jianjun suddenly realized that he seemed to have delayed Nurse Zhou for too long, and apologized: "Sorry, Nurse Zhou, have I disturbed you for too long?"
"No, no."
"Then I won't bother Nurse Zhou for now. We can talk again when we have time."
After saying goodbye to Nurse Zhou, Shen Jianjun was still looking in the direction where Nurse Zhou had left. At this time, Shen Qingmiao was finally able to speak.
She pushed Shen Jianjun outside to a tree, then squatted in front of him and asked, "Brother, do you like Nurse Zhou?"
At this time, Shen Jianjun was silent.
Shen Qingmiao ignored him and continued, "If you want me to say that, if you like Nurse Zhou, just tell her directly. I think Nurse Zhou likes you too."
"Qingmiao, you don't understand." Shen Jianjun's words were full of disappointment.
She doesn't understand, she doesn't understand anything.
"I'm not good enough for her."
Shen Qingmiao had never expected that this was what Shen Jianjun was worried about. "So, what are you going to do, second brother?"
Since my second brother would say that, I guess Dr. Zhou’s family must be very well off.
"Brother, please don't be so discouraged. Although Nurse Zhou comes from a wealthy family, that's no reason to back down. If you truly like Nurse Zhou, you should tell her. If Nurse Zhou likes you back, then you should work even harder and create a bright future for her. Instead of giving up before you even start, that's not the brother I know."
Shen Qingmiao's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Jianjun's heart hard.
"Second brother, think about it carefully. Do you want to regret it for the rest of your life just because you were afraid to be unworthy for a moment?"
After that, Shen Qingmiao stopped talking and let Shen Jianjun think alone.
She had already said that, as for what her second brother would choose in the end, that was his business, Shen Qingmiao would not care.
Everyone has the right to make their own choices, and naturally they have to bear the consequences themselves.
But seeing his second brother's timid look, Shen Qingmiao really looked down on him.
Shouldn't he show his manliness at this time?
Until they returned to the ward, Shen Jianjun still looked deep in thought, and Shen Qingmiao did not disturb him.
When Nurse Zhou came over, she saw Shen Jianjun looked troubled, so she pulled Shen Qingmiao aside and asked, "Comrade Qingmiao, what happened to Comrade Jianjun?"
Seeing Nurse Zhou's worry, Shen Qingmiao comforted her, "Don't worry, Nurse Zhou. My second brother is thinking about the important things in his life."
"What's the big life event?" Nurse Zhou asked anxiously, obviously very concerned about it.
"My mother plans to arrange a blind date for my brother as soon as he gets better." Shen Qingmiao told me a white lie here.
"Really?"
"Yes, my second brother is not young anymore, and everyone in the family is worried about him. I just told him about this, and he looked like he was hiding something from me. He also told me that he doesn't like blind dates. And he has been like that ever since." When Shen Qingmiao said this, he also deliberately stared at the changes in Nurse Zhou's expression.
"Didn't he tell you why he didn't want to go on a blind date?" asked Nurse Zhou.
"He didn't say anything, but judging from his appearance, he probably has a girl he likes." Shen Qingmiao pretended to guess casually, "By the way, Nurse Zhou, have you seen any other girls come to visit my second brother?"
Nurse Zhou, who was immersed in joy, suddenly heard Shen Qingmiao's question. She didn't react for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, she slowly said, "No...no."
"That's strange. Why doesn't my second brother want to go on a blind date?" Shen Qingmiao pretended not to understand. "My mother has already made up her mind. If my second brother hasn't found a partner yet, he probably won't be able to escape the fate of blind dates. He might get married next year."
"What!" Nurse Zhou looked incredulous.
"Nurse Zhou?" Shen Qingmiao looked at Nurse Zhou with a puzzled look, as if she didn't know why Nurse Zhou was shocked.
"I want to ask, isn't this a bad idea?" Being stared at by Shen Qingmiao, Nurse Zhou quickly regained her composure.
Shen Qingmiao waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? This is very common in our place."
Looking at Nurse Zhou's thoughtful expression, Shen Qingmiao felt that his goal was almost achieved.
"I'm sorry, Nurse Zhou, I've delayed your work by talking to you about so much nonsense."
"No, no."
Looking at Nurse Zhou's back as she left, Shen Qingmiao looked at Shen Jianjun who was still in dilemma and said silently in his heart: Second brother, this is all I can help you with.
