Chapter 60 Li Nian's Independent Side Story - When He Remembered It (Part 9)
After a brief examination, the doctor who remained concluded that Yu Qingzhou was not seriously injured.
Li Nian was clearly somewhat skeptical of this conclusion.
"Did you look closely... and there's nothing wrong? You saw what he was like just now."
He paused, then seemed to remember something and let out an "Ah!" before frowning and muttering, "You wouldn't be thinking about—"
He was interrupted coldly by the other party when he was only halfway through his sentence.
“My opinion is consistent with the existing test results. If you have any doubts about my expertise or the professionalism of the equipment here, you can always seek help from someone else, or simply go to another hospital.”
The doctor casually put his hands in the pockets of his white coat.
Then, without giving Li Nian a chance to speak, she turned directly to Yu Qingzhou, who was sitting on the hospital bed.
"During this time, please get plenty of rest, keep your diet light, and also—"
The doctor paused for a moment at this point.
Whether it was Yu Qingzhou's imagination or not, a mischievous smile seemed to flash deep within the dark eyes above the mask, which were looking at her.
Fleeting, yet... deeply meaningful.
Yu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
This further solidified my earlier feeling that I must have seen the face behind the mask...
No.
It shouldn't just be someone I've seen before; it should be someone I'm extremely familiar with.
But after searching through all the memories in my mind, I was completely clueless.
Yu Qingzhou could clearly recall her infancy, childhood, student days, and even the beginning of her career...
Among those who are somewhat acquainted or have had nodding acquaintances in the past, there is indeed no such pair of black eyes.
It felt both familiar and completely foreign...
While my thoughts were in turmoil, the person on the other end slowly uttered the rest of their words.
"...Remember to minimize unnecessary strenuous exercise."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the other person emphasized the word "unnecessary," as if deliberately stressing something that didn't need to be emphasized.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou's chest skipped a beat. At the same time, a strange mix of embarrassment and shame welled up inside her.
Talking about sex among adults is not a taboo topic.
What's more, the person standing in front of her was a doctor with professional skills... Yet, Yu Qingzhou still felt a certain degree of unease.
perhaps--
It would be better if the other party didn't use that subtle way of speaking?
At least it won't be like it is now... giving people a strange feeling of trying to cover something up.
While waiting for a reply, the doctor's gaze never left Yu Qingzhou, but the former's gaze was calm and composed, seemingly without any ulterior motives or pretense.
Such a frank gaze caused Yu Qingzhou, who had been so confident in her judgment, to waver slightly...
Could it be that... the other person didn't mean it that way at all?
It was entirely due to my own overthinking that the doctor's perfectly harmless words and actions took on a suggestive and ambiguous meaning...
Thinking of this, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself.
He began to seriously reflect on why he had misunderstood the other person and quickly concluded that it was probably because he had been getting too close to Li Nian recently.
And Li Nian—
They were perhaps a little too enthusiastic about that kind of thing.
It's not that Yu Qingzhou had no needs at all.
But compared to a certain young man who always wants to be all lovey-dovey and clingy, trying to pin someone down on the bed, sofa, desk, kitchen counter, or any other suitable or... not-so-suitable place, Yu Qingzhou is practically a vegetarian.
Inappropriate images for children flashed through my mind at an inopportune time.
Realizing that those black eyes were still silently watching her, it was like a handful of cool water being poured on Yu Qingzhou's slightly flushed cheeks.
The inexplicable and inexplicable heat in my heart was instantly extinguished.
After regaining her composure, Yu Qingzhou immediately smiled and thanked him, her tone no different from usual.
"Okay, I'll be careful, thank you... Dr. Shen."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise seemed to flash across the doctor's dark eyes, which then narrowed slightly, forming a subtle yet attractive curve at the corners of his eyes.
"You're welcome," the doctor said.
It was still the same cold and aloof tone, but there seemed to be a bit more warmth in her voice.
"Since there are no problems, we will not take up Dr. Shen's valuable time any longer."
Li Nian, who had been watching coldly with her arms crossed, suddenly spoke up and stepped forward to stand between the two.
While blocking the gaze that was fixed on Yu Qingzhou, he made a gesture as if to see the guest out.
Although he was smiling, his every move revealed obvious impatience.
Yu Qingzhou was surprised by Li Nian's actions, and he subconsciously looked at the doctor.
Fortunately, the latter did not seem offended; on the contrary, he nodded politely.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now."
The doctor paused slightly at this point, glancing past Li Nian and towards Yu Qingzhou behind him.
"Of course, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."
Yu Qingzhou was slightly taken aback, because this time, he clearly saw the look in the other person's eyes, and that was—
A pure smile without any hidden meaning.
"...They've already walked two miles, and they're still looking."
As Li Nian's sour voice rang in her ears, Yu Qingzhou turned her head and was met with the young man's extremely unhappy face.
The resentment is so deep that you could raise a ghost child with it.
Yu Qingzhou didn't immediately understand what the other person was saying, and even after she did, she was still somewhat confused.
"The doctor didn't travel by car, so he couldn't have gone that fast."
"..."
Li Nian was clearly taken aback by this unexpected answer, and her arrogant and accusatory attitude immediately subsided.
It's clear that they're trying very hard to stay focused... but unfortunately, the results are minimal.
Ultimately, torn between laughing and not laughing, Li Nian chose to let out a cold laugh. This both expressed her stance and relieved her twitching lips.
"Hmph, they've even started calling him Dr. Chen."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou looked completely bewildered.
Hmm. What else? Is addressing someone that a violation of divine law?
Is there any regulation that explicitly prohibits using the format of surname plus occupation to refer to practitioners of that occupation...? I don't think so.
Yu Qingzhou truthfully expressed her confusion.
To everyone's surprise, Li Nian got even more excited after hearing this.
"Ha, still pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhou frowned.
"Where did I..."
He was about to retort when he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
"If you have it, then you have it."
Yu Qingzhou almost laughed at Li Nian's unreasonable behavior.
He only knew that Li Nian had a bit of a childish temper, but he never expected her to be so immature.
Yu Qingzhou was already having a headache, and this only made things worse.
"Oh, then tell me, how did you figure that out?"
Perhaps it was because Yu Qingzhou's tone was somewhat cold, but Li Nian paused for a moment, and in the end, the frustration in her heart prevailed.
However, when he spoke again, he clearly lacked confidence.
"I didn't even introduce him, how do you know his last name?"
"..."
"And...and you two were just exchanging glances right in front of me, completely oblivious to everyone else. Did you really think I was dead?!"
Li Nian became more and more aggrieved as she spoke. Her tone and expression made it seem as if she were a wife accusing her unfaithful husband.
Yu Qingzhou pressed her throbbing temples.
He took a deep breath before slowly opening his mouth.
"Is it possible that... they were wearing employee badges, and I just happen to recognize Chinese characters?"
