Ji Qingying approached him and said, “You really look handsome in a white coat.”
Fu Yanzhi chuckled softly.
“Really?”
“Yup!”
Ji Qingying interjected, “I just realized that I am a bit of a clothing freak after all.”
Fu Yanzhi paused, his eyes flashing as he looked at her clothes.
She was wearing a custom cheongsam today. It wasn’t too tight, but it’s still hard to hide the figure within.
Fu Yanzhi froze, the memory of her bloomed under him that night flashed across his mind.
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed heavily, and replied in a low voice, “I haven’t thought you were.”
Ji Qinying was confused at his reply before realization dawned on her. “Oh? ‘Haven’t thought’, eh?”The she followed Fu Yanzhi’s gaze that looked at the clothes on her body and flirtily said, “…Do you like my clothes?”
Fu Yanzhi shook his head first, but started nodding in the end.
Facing Ji Qingying’s coquettishness, Fu Yanzhi bent over her, his warm breath brushing the tips of her ears, and said is a husky voice, “It isn’t the clothes I like…”#[email protected]
Ji Qingying’s face went red hot as she instantly understood.
Her cheeks flushed red, she tried acting reserved, and said, “Dr. Fu! Please mind your manners.”
“You’re still at work,” she added.
Fu Yanzhi grinned, “Well, I’m about to get off work.”
Ji Qingying was taken aback and looked around them. He was right! Many people could be seen leaving the building, with their work bags in hand.
Ji Qingying looked at him, “I wonder if Dr. Fu is also off duty now?”
“Can he perhaps grace me with some of his time?” she asked.
Fu Yanzhi smiled softly: "Yes. ”
“I need to leave a few instructions to the ward before I go. Would you like to come with me?”
"Yes."
Fu Yanzhi still had tasks he needed to complete before leaving, like giving instructions to the nurses to take certain precautions.
Ji Qingying didn’t follow. She just waited in the rest area for him to finish what he needed to.
Bored, Ji Qingying took out her mobile phone to play, but as she looked at the screen, it showed Chen Xinyu had sent her a message.
Several angry memes, many of which featuring large knives.
Ji Qingying got curious, so she replied,【Did someone from work get you angry?】
【Not from work!!!】
【Indeed…???】
【Don't know how to say it! It's so stupid anyways!】
Ji Qingying: 【…】
She could feel Chen Xinyu’s fury even across the screen.
It surprised her. Has she ever seen Chen Xinyu this angry before?
She couldn’t recall.
It must have been a pretty long time ago if she couldn’t remember.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from next to her. “Ji Qingying, why are you here?”
Ji Qingying got startled, so she quickly looked to her side. Sun Yijia stood not far from her.
She quickly calmed herself and asked, “Why do you ask?”
Sun Yijia stared at her for a while and furtively asked, “Didn’t you come to see He Yuan too?
Ji Qingying looked confused, and asked, “What are you talking about?”
Sun Yijia didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “He Yuan got in a car accident and was hospitalized here. You really didn’t know?”
Ji Qingying got stumped. She tried to regulate her breathing as she processed this news Sun Yijia had just given her.
Her expression hardened as she coldly said, “No.”
Sun Yijia first said, “Oh.” But quickly added, “That makes sense.”
She sat next to her, ruffling her hair and snarked, “I shouldn’t have asked. The relationship between you, He Yuan, and Lin Xiaoshuang has ended. You coming here to visit is impossible.”
Ji Qingying said nothing.
Sun Yijia knew how she felt. She averted her gaze, but couldn’t help but ask, “So, how are you?”
Ji Qingying lowered her gaze to the chat interface with Chen Xinyu on her phone before finally remembering.
The last time Chen Xinyu lost her temper so violently was when they were in college. Because of the two people Sun Yijia just mentioned.#[email protected]
He Yuan and Lin Xiaoshuang.
After a moment of silence, Ji Qingying replied, “What is it to you?”
“Are you that bored?” she asked coldly.
“……”
She put on face, and said, “taking a kind heart for a donkey’s liver or lung*.”
*TLN: Mistaking good intentions for bad ones
Ji Qingying looked at her with calm eyes, “Kindness? Or to watch the drama?”
Having been called out, Sun Yijia sneered, “So what if I like to watch?”
Ji Qingying decided to ignore her.
“I heard you were participating in the national competition?”
Ji Qingying still ignored her.
Sun Yijia paused for a moment and said, “Good luck~ I look forward to your performance.”
A bit surprised at the other person, she looked at her and asked, “Is there something wrong with your head?”
Sun Yijia's expression changed.
“In the previous San Qing competitions, not only did you want me to lose, you wanted me to be eliminated in the first round! Now, you’re cheering me on?!”
Sun Yijia didn’t bother to sugar coat things and replied, “I couldn’t help it. I got news that the winner is eligible to participate in the international design competition…”
She continued, “And I wanted to compete with you again.” She paused to look Ji Qingying straight in the eye and dropped a bombshell, “Also, Lin Xiaoshuang is also participating.”
“……”
The hospital’s hallways were always cold, even when it was overcrowded, the feeling of coldness was always present.
At that moment, even with the last rays of dusk shining through the window panes, and the shadows mingled with the light…
Ji Qingying felt so very cold.
She suddenly thought of that day two years ago.
It was the night when the results she was so excited for was to be announced.
But her world shattered instead.
It was like being taken from a warm and cozy room, then being thrown into a raging blizzard. Her excited blood ran cold immediately.
She felt like a balloon that just went pop.
“Excuse me! I’m trying to talk to you?!”
Sun Yijia’s nagging woke her up from her stupor, “Ji Qingying, are you listening to me?!”
Finally awake, Ji Qingying finally gave her a furtive glance, asking, “Sun Yijia, you owe me an apology.
