"noob?"
Suddenly, Yu Sheng's voice penetrated and rang out in the space.
Yu Bai's heart tightened, thinking that something had happened to his elder brother Yu Sheng.
“Swish——”
She quickly retreated from the space, opened the bathroom door with a swift movement, and walked quickly to the bedside.
"Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
She leaned over and carefully observed Yu Sheng's expression, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in her tone.
However, Yu Sheng shook his head slightly, his eyes drifting towards the door of the ward, with obvious worry on his face.
"Fan Qi. She went to see her aunt, all this..."
He paused, as if calculating the time.
Yu Bai subconsciously raised his wrist, and the pointer showed that more than forty minutes had passed since Fan Qi left.
So long?
Yu Bai's heart skipped a beat.
After being there for so long, it seems that the content of the discussion will not be very relaxed and pleasant.
"Brother, don't worry, just lie down and rest."
Yu Bai patted Yu Sheng's arm and soothed him softly.
"I'll go see what's going on. Sister Fan Qi is not a child, she knows her limits."
After saying that, she didn't delay any longer, turned around, gently closed the ward door, and walked quickly to the nurses' station.
After a little inquiry, he found out the location of Zhou Ying's office.
Not far away, at the end of the same floor.
Yu Bai took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and walked towards the office with a sign that read "Chief Physician Zhou Ying."
She braced herself for a potential storm.
Maybe it was a suppressed quarrel, maybe it was Fan Qi's tears of grievance, or maybe it was the condescending preaching of Dr. Zhou.
However, when she walked to the half-open door and stopped her finger in mid-knock, she found that the atmosphere inside was... unusually calm.
There was no verbal sparring or tense confrontation as imagined.
This actually surprised Yu Bai a little.
…
In fact, just over forty minutes ago, when Fan Qi knocked on Zhou Ying's office door, she was greeted by her aunt's face filled with suppressed anger.
"Qi Qi, come in with me!" Zhou Ying's voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable severity.
After Fan Qi closed the door, Zhou Ying didn't even let her sit down. She got straight to the point, her tone filled with a sense of disappointment:
"What's going on with that guy surnamed Yu?"
"I'm telling you, Fan Qi, you must break up with him right now! No one in our Zhou family or Fan family would agree to you two being together!"
"A country boy who didn't even graduate from high school and has a limp! How can he be worthy of you?"
"What are our family's circumstances? Three generations of doctors! Although we're not considered wealthy, we're still well-known in the provincial capital. How can ordinary families compare?"
"Why choose someone like this when you can find someone else..."
"Back then, you refused to stay in the hospital and insisted on starting your own media career and becoming a medical attendant. No matter how much your family tried to persuade you, you wouldn't listen!"
"Okay, we'll let you do what you want. We think you're young and like to play around. If you can't play anymore, your family can still cover it and find a good hospital to put you in."
Zhou Ying grew increasingly angry as she spoke. "How could you treat yourself like this? Talking about marriage with a man like this? You're being rebellious! You're deliberately going against your family!"
Faced with his aunt's barrage of questions and undisguised class discrimination, Fan Qi remained unusually calm.
She didn't argue or cry, but just stood there quietly, facing her aunt's gaze calmly.
"Are you asking me and Yu Sheng?"
Her voice was soft, but it carried a firmness that could not be ignored.
"In fact, I know what kind of person he is better than anyone else."
Zhou Ying frowned and was about to speak when Fan Qi raised his hand to stop her.
"He does come from an ordinary family, has a low level of education, and is disabled."
Fan Qi's words seemed to be stating facts, without any self-deception.
"But over the years, he has always worked hard and never complained. He would fight for his family and is willing to change himself for me."
Having said that, she paused, a bitter yet gentle smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
"I like him, it's true."
"I know there's a huge gap between us, but if I don't even have the courage to give it a try, I'll definitely regret it later when I look back."
The room fell silent, with only the ticking of the clock as the sound.
The dappled sunlight from outside the window made the two people's shadows very long.
"This is not rebellion, nor is it self-destruction."
Fan Qi looked directly at Zhou Ying.
"This is the first time I've loved someone so much. I just want to give each other a chance and don't want to have any regrets."
Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly turned red.
The grievance, stubbornness and desire intertwined into a delicate emotion that made it impossible for her to maintain her composure on the surface.
She turned her face away and wiped the corners of her eyes fiercely with the back of her hand——
At this moment, a streak of emerald green slipped out from the cuff and swayed in the light.
The jade bracelet is translucent and has a warm color, flowing like spring water.
Fan Qi was stunned, and subconsciously looked down at his wrist——
"What... is going on?"
She muttered to herself, stroking the bracelet instinctively, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or reality.
But there is only one answer: Yu Sheng put this on her hand while she was sleeping.
However, Fan Qi had seen good things before, so he could naturally tell that this bracelet was extraordinary.
But it is too extraordinary. This is a top-grade product, worth at least one million. How could Yu Sheng have it?
Zhou Ying, who was originally immersed in anger, was now attracted by the green color.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Fan Qi's arm, examining the jade bracelet for a moment. The expression on her face changed from shock to suspicion, and then to disbelief:
"Where did you get this?"
