Chapter Seven, this life is unbearable

Zhong Zhen, your cousin looks really cool

Yes, I had my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday afternoon, and I will return for a follow-up appointment next week

A group of children over there was discussing animatedly, while Wen Shaoqing's face showed no signs of abnormality. He naturally took out his phone and said, "Let's add each other on WeChat."

Heavens! This life is unbearable

Has a patient named Cong Rong come recently

Zhong Zhen nodded, "Yes, do you know each other?"

Cong Rong was awakened by the enticing aroma of the food. Upon coming out of the bedroom, she saw someone in the kitchen and, thinking it was Zhong Zheng, opened the door without a second thought and asked: "What are we having for lunch?"

He Ge looked at Wen Shaoqing's back and muttered with a puzzled expression: "Isn't Cong Rong the cousin of the student you introduced? Why does it seem like she doesn't know that I am her patient?"

Cong Rong, after coming to her senses, covered her face, unwilling to face reality, and asked helplessly, "How did you get here?"

Wen Shaoqing had not seen Cong Rong for several consecutive days. After work, he specifically went to buy a block of tofu and knocked on the door next door, but there was no response for a long time

Has Teacher Wen gone to the dental department again

Yes, is there any problem

As Zhong Zhen listened, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her. Could it be that the person Teacher Wen likes is that Doctor He? Last time, Teacher Wen mentioned that Doctor He is his junior apprentice. Isn't it common for senior and junior apprentices to have a romantic involvement?

Are you considering transferring to the dental department

So cool

Wen Shaoqing allowed her to look, and after tidying up, he finally raised his head to look at her, seemingly in a good mood as he curled his lips and asked: "Are you sleeping at the law firm because work is too busy?"

Why has he been frequently visiting the dental department recently

Wen Shaoqing suddenly looked at him and asked: "Is she your cousin? The cousin you have been saying you would introduce to me?"

Yes, yes

Wen Shaoqing's expression was somewhat strange, and he absentmindedly replied, "Hmm, it's nothing..."

Cong Rong took a deep breath; last time, she had managed to snatch back that business card amidst the chaos, but this time, it seemed there was no way to escape.

Although she was still a bit dazed, her movements were extremely quick. Before Wen Shaoqing could react, she had already shoved the cup back into his hand and burrowed back under the covers to continue sleeping

Cong Rong struggled to get up again, too lazy to open her eyes. When she raised her hand to reach for the cup, she accidentally touched Wen Shaoqing's hand, but she was completely unaware of it. After finishing a glass of water, she closed her eyes and grabbed his hand, pulling him to sit down at the edge of the bed. She rubbed his head and lazily said, "Cousin, I've been too busy lately to take care of you. Once this busy period is over, I'll take you out for some delicious food."

When Zhong Zhen heard the sound, he had already arrived. A group of people stood at the door, feeling anxious and fearful. When Wen Shaoqing appeared to be calm while holding a cup of water and walked out, Zhong Zhen cautiously approached and said, "Teacher Wen, I am sorry, my cousin did not mean to..."

Time must be true love for this man; not only has the calmness and gentleness settled between his brows become increasingly evident, but the face before me is almost identical to the one I first saw a few years ago. The lines are clear and beautiful, the features are deep and three-dimensional, showing no trace of time. He remains strikingly handsome, truly a paragon of virtue, warm and gentle as jade.

Wen Shaoqing handed over the cup of water, "Water."

Zhong Zhen smiled happily, "Teacher Wen, please sit for a moment, I will go get some water." After saying this, she turned and entered the kitchen, but in her heart, she was thinking: Today, I can finally let my cousin meet the boss! After the boss meets my cousin, he will definitely no longer like Doctor He!

Cong Rong felt that she and Wen Shaoqing were at most just neighbors; she was currently living at Zhong Zheng's place, and they could hardly be considered neighbors anymore. However, she did not expect that her connection with Wen Shaoqing was "profoundly fateful," so deep that it caught her off guard

A group of people looked at Wen Shaoqing's fluctuating expression with sympathy for Zhong Zheng. When the boss generally says that everything is fine, it usually means that something serious has happened

She is thinking of more than just this now, there is also ... . ... She just crawled out of bed, her hair uncombed, her face unwashed, her makeup not done, and even her clothes are wrinkled. What did Zhongzheng say while she was sleeping just now? Whose head did she rub? And whose hand did she hold?

Cong Rong's brows furrowed into a knot, "What do you want to add me on WeChat for?"

In the same house, in the same kitchen, even the length of the arms exposed by Wen Shaoqing as she rolled up her sleeves is the same. Has she truly been possessed by a spirit?

After Cong Rong was shaken awake, he irritably pushed him away to continue sleeping, and in a dazed manner, he perfunctorily replied, "Who is your boss?"

With this interlude, the boss wore a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and no one dared to stay in the room. When Zhong Zhen suggested going out to buy some groceries, a group of people immediately agreed to go, leaving only Wen Shaoqing, who was cooking in the kitchen.

It turns out she was not sensitive; that car truly belonged to him. The "boss" that Zhong Zheng mentioned so many times was actually him. No wonder Zhong Zheng was so fortunate to rent this house. ... It turns out everything has its clues, and she had overlooked it so carelessly ...

Wen Shaoqing shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I will take my leave now"

After renting the house, Zhong Zhen planned to invite friends over for a lively gathering. However, due to being too busy, this plan was repeatedly postponed. Finally, after much effort, he found a day with fewer classes and when Wen Shaoqing did not have surgery, and thus arranged for them to come over for dinner.

Zhong Zhen stood before Wen Shaoqing, wanting to explain something, yet found herself at a loss for words, on the verge of tears.

A group of students chattered as they entered the door

Oh. Zhong Zhen felt somewhat perplexed, "My cousin is named Cong Rong."

Even though there were towering waves in her heart, there was not a trace of it on Cong Rong's face. Experience told her that no matter what was lost, one must never lose their momentum. She quickly forced a smile and greeted Wen Shaoqing, saying, "Hello, Professor Wen." Then she turned and waved to a group of children, saying, "Hello, Zhong Zhen's friends."

This house was rented by Wen Shaoqing to Zhong Zheng, so he naturally did not need to tour it. He simply sat down on the sofa, and as soon as he sat down, he heard a low voice calling from the bedroom: "Zhong Zheng, bring me a glass of water"

Cong Rong watched the beautiful hands swaying in the flowing water, her gaze shifting from the hands to the profile.

Cong Rong expressed disdain and contempt for this poor excuse, saying, "Is Zhong Zhen still in elementary school? At his age, he should be able to take responsibility for himself"

Why do you come here to hang around if your tooth doesn't hurt

Wen Shaoqing cast a deep glance at him before turning and entering the kitchen

Wen Shaoqing stood in the kitchen, staring blankly as he poured a glass of water using the cup that Cong Rong had just used. After taking a few sips, he came to his senses and then lowered his head, laughing silently.

Have you finished pulling them out?

Wen Shaoqing gestured for Cong Rong to take a look at the bouncing emoji in the living room, "Are you sure?"

Wen Shaoqing did not respond and turned to walk towards the kitchen

Upon seeing that person clearly, she was stunned. How could it be that after just taking a nap, she had traveled back to the day she first met Wen Shaoqing?

I just saw him talking to He Shuai

Wen Shaoqing was already familiar with the term "cousin" that Zhong Zheng mentioned, and he responded with a smile, "Alright"

Cong Rong responded with difficulty, glanced at Wen Shaoqing, then at Zhong Zhen, looked back at Wen Shaoqing again, and began to lose herself in thought once more

As soon as the words left her mouth, the door swung open from the outside, and Zhong Zhen along with a group of students appeared at the entrance. Seeing her in conversation with Wen Shaoqing, they excitedly introduced, "Cousin, this is my teacher, Wen Shaoqing. It was his car that I borrowed when I came to pick you up, do you remember?"

I haven't heard about that; I saw him eating a boxed meal in the operating room yesterday, and he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit

Recently, Wen Shaoqing has been frequently visiting the dental department for various reasons, prompting a few of his students to gather and whisper among themselves

Exactly the type of mature woman I like

It turns out that Zhong Zhen is her cousin.

A group of boys and girls obediently said in unison: "Hello, cousin!"

Zhong Zhen thought seriously for a moment, "My cousin specializes in criminal defense, dealing with cases such as murder, robbery, kidnapping, theft, drug trafficking, and corruption. If you were to cause the patient to die or become disabled, it would certainly come in handy!"

Ultimately, they added each other on WeChat, marking the restoration of diplomatic relations between Cong Rong and Wen Shaoqing, which holds profound significance

No way? I haven't graduated yet

Cong Rong was still wearing the white robe and black pants from the court appearance, a simple and elegant style that accentuated her tall figure. Even in slippers, her smiling eyes exuded an imposing presence.

By the way, Wen Shaoqing turned around after taking two steps and added, "Remember to mention the name first when making introductions in the future"

Zhong Zhen rushed into the bedroom the next second, shaking Cong Rong vigorously, anxious and jumping around, "Cousin! What are you doing rubbing my boss's head?"

Someone looked at the high heels at the door and smiled, teasing Zhong Zhen, "Oh, is your girlfriend here?"

Since Cong Rong removed the root of her troubles and drank porridge for several days, every time she had porridge, she would think of the steamed egg custard made by Wen Shaoqing. Looking at the plain porridge in front of her, she always found it tasteless. Fortunately, the swelling on one side of her face finally subsided, but she still lingered at Zhong Zheng's home without leaving

Wen Shaoqing looked at her dazed and foolish appearance and found it amusing, lightly clearing his throat to call her: "Cong Rong?"

Wen Shaoqing glanced into the bedroom, hesitated for a moment, and then went to the kitchen to pour some water. When he pushed the door open, he saw the person on the bed struggling to sit up, looking bewildered as they tugged at their hair, and ultimately fell back down to continue sleeping.

After the meal, a group of energetic students gathered in the living room, lively playing a murder game. Two "elderly individuals"—one washing dishes in the kitchen and the other standing at the kitchen door watching the other wash dishes—this scene felt so familiar, giving Cong Rong a sense of being in a different world.

Is he a lawyer? If I am attacked by a patient's family in the future, can I receive a compensation of several million?

This group of students are all graduate students led by Wen Shaoqing. They usually spend time together and are very familiar with each other, urging Zhong Zheng to take them on a tour

Wen Shaoqing took a round in the treatment room, and after He Ge sent off the last patient, he removed his mask and asked: "Dear Senior Brother, do you have a toothache?"

Of course, I will also take a little of the others," Zhong Zhen said proudly, raising her chin, "In short, with my cousin by my side, I have the world at my feet!

Wen Shaoqing spoke nonsense with his eyes wide open: "Maintain communication with students' parents and exchange information about students' psychological dynamics at any time, so that he can learn better"

After speaking, she turned to a group of people behind her and introduced, "Cousin, these are my classmates. She is my cousin, Congrong"

The sympathy on everyone's faces was immediately replaced by disdain: Zhong Zhen, you are truly shameless! How could you bribe the professor in such a manner!

It does not hurt

Cong Rong looked at this face, beneath the humble and polite exterior lay an aggressive aura. She was at a loss for words, just as he had been years ago when he stood in the same position and said to her, "Cong Rong, we have met before"

"No, no! I don't have a girlfriend," Zhong Zhen pointed to the slightly ajar bedroom door, "My cousin has been preparing the court documents for several days. She just came back from court today and is now sleeping. Keep it down, if you wake her up, it will be like a volcanic eruption!"

Around noon, Wen Shaoqing and a group of students arrived, and Zhong Zhen smiled as she opened the door to let them in

Toothache
