Chapter 3

Xiao Wan's eyes were wide open

She widened her eyes in astonishment and then exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

Is this Miss Huang

Taking the liberty to scold others on behalf of General Chen is somewhat overstepping one's bounds

This is not the case; even discussing gossip requires avoiding her displeasure

In Xiao Wan's view, the girl in bed number 19 is truly not worth it for a man who does not love her. Life is a gift from one's parents; why should one belittle oneself for the sake of others? To live is to cherish oneself, to cherish the people around us, and to cherish every moment and every inch of time we have.

The person opposite seemed momentarily stunned, unsure of the origin of this sudden male voice.

Perhaps Xiaowan's prayers have finally been heard by the heavens

However, as soon as I think of the pressure my aunt has put on me, all the peace instantly disappears.

I can't believe it

What time is it, and there are still people eating apples

Director Liu. With the terrifying words "Tyrannosaurus Rex" displayed on the caller ID, Xiaowan was not so naive as to be unable to recognize them.

It is one thing for the drainage pipe of the restroom upstairs to leak, but how is it that there is also a leak at the entrance?

If others do not care, why should one pursue it further

In ordinary circumstances, only newcomers are intimidated by her

The old lady happily took out her keys and opened the door However, at that moment, she could never have imagined that as the door opened, a glass cup came crashing towards her.

The old doctor pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge and asked seriously, "What are the early symptoms of appendicitis?"

The guest room is not locked, what is the point of having a master bedroom? Xiaowan is confused

Well, none of those are serious injuries

Immediately after, he succinctly explained some minor details of the renovation work, concluding his brainwashing speech to Xiaowan, and left the room in a relaxed mood

She wanted to explain that she had undergone an appendectomy and, following the doctor's advice, a week of hospitalization was unavoidable. However, just as she was halfway through her explanation, the voice on the other side immediately became sharp.

You are welcome, it is alright, let her rest well

Foolish! You were there at the time, did you not see the patient’s pale complexion, the right leg bent while lying on the side, the muscle tension, and the stooped posture while walking? These are all symptoms! Symptoms...

In the ward, several unfortunate nurses, who had been "drafted" to listen to the glorious tales of the old physician, sat in a circle, each wearing an expression as if they had just eaten a fly

Xiao Wan sprayed all the water in her mouth onto the craftsman who came to the tea table to get nails.

Xiao Wan completely crushed her silver teeth with a bite

I casually concocted a story, initially intending to lure Dr. Ye out, but I did not expect that the patient in bed 19 had such a tumultuous background. This evoked many sentiments among the nurses who were changing the dressings.

Like a tiny seed.

Xiao Wan was startled and looked up, and a delicate, snow-white face was right in front of her

Xiao Wan felt as if there were a halo behind him, which was almost dazzling in an instant

Ahem.

Gauze is wrapped around in a circle, wrapped tightly and securely.

Tao Sumei raised her eyebrows, smiled softly and cutely, and spoke with a decisive tone.

After experiencing 108 failed blind dates, her life was already miserable enough. But it seemed that fate had more misfortune in store for her, as she unexpectedly met Luo An'an.

Do you know? Do you know what happened?

However, what's even more hateful is that they are also the landlords.

What does the uncle who took you away look like? He tilted his head and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, yet he could list all the places that the uncle took him to as if they were his prized possessions.

But this ringing sound has never stopped.

As previously mentioned, recently the criminals have been rampant, but unfortunately their plans are well-executed, yet their escape is flawed.

As for me, Xiaowan, you already have appendicitis. If you don't feel well, why don't you say anything? You know your body best. How could you act like nothing's wrong when you're in so much pain? What's wrong with your nerves? At that time... Did your stomach not feel anything?

Dr. Ye, patient from bed 19 committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. Blood pressure is now at 60 and heart rate at 70... Suddenly, a cold and somewhat indifferent voice entered everyone's ears.

A major incident has occurred in the Liu family! Although Liu Shaosheng is inherently reclusive and does not enjoy socializing with others, it does not mean that all members of the Liu family are similarly distant and unapproachable. Liu Shao's sister is a warm and generous person, well-connected and quite enthusiastic. It is said that when Liu Shao's sister visits a sick old friend in the hospital, she should not bring along her mischievous son.

This and that, there are fewer ink marks, I am extremely busy here, I will call you back later. Wang Lan impatiently hung up the phone

Heh

However, such tranquility is always an illusion before the storm arrives

After the last thought quickly flashed by, Xiao Wan suddenly became excited

In the end, inexplicably uttering the final sentence, they hung up the phone in a dejected manner

They believe their little tricks are flawless, yet they cannot hide them from Xiao Wan's keen eyes

Suddenly, a warm current surged from the heart

After thinking for a moment, she stopped, turned around, and quietly looked at Wen Qingzhi, saying: "Young Master Wen specifically came to find me; it is probably not as simple as just inquiring about my health."

Little Wan's crisis awareness is bubbling up.

I ... ...

The young woman clenched her fists tightly, hesitating between "running away to call for help" and "fighting the thief barehanded," when she heard a rough voice coming from inside the house: "Hey, cover your forehead, hurry and cover it!"

Sure enough, this guy is not someone who can speak eloquently.

Suddenly, Wen Qing let out a light laugh, the corners of her mouth slightly curling up, and she said with a faint smile: "Did you not find that the voice calling out for Bed 19 to report a problem just now sounded very familiar?"

So pitiful!

At this moment, Xiaowan couldn't help but draw three black lines on her forehead, feeling deeply helpless.

This person, from birth, has always been a troublemaker.

Wen Qing saw her pursing her lips, with such a serious expression, and felt that this girl was really cute when she was serious.

He murmured for a while

Puff!

As soon as I turned my head, I saw Xiao Wan in the corner of the hospital bed, her big, dark eyes wide open, nibbling on an apple like a little mouse. Upon noticing the gaze of the nurses, Xiao Wan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly forced a shy smile.

The ward, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became half empty.

She has not figured it out yet, how did Wen Qingzhi come to understand it?

Solitary and self-reliant, not forming friendships with anyone

What? Upon hearing this, the old doctor immediately got up, not even having time to say a word of greeting, and hurriedly left with a group of young nurses in a flurry.

A loud bang.

"Yes, yes, Master Tao, you speak of loyalty." Regardless of what he says, one should first flatter him. If she had a tail behind her, Xiaowan would have no doubt that the tail was wagging vigorously.

However, Dr. Ye is an incredibly kind person, but unfortunately, he is particularly fond of gossip.

I ... ... I ... ...

The undercurrents of turmoil lie beneath the sharp and crystalline ice, appearing faint and harmonious. However, should you dare to disturb the ground, regardless of whether your disturbance is three parts or two, the Liu family is not prepared to let you leave in a state of tranquility.

Xiao Wan was suddenly seized by someone, her face turned pale, tears welling up in her eyes, and she instinctively shouted, "Hero, spare my life!"

The other party cleared their throat lightly, seemingly a bit embarrassed, and eventually changed the subject, asking: "Was the appendectomy successful?"

Making a gesture of "V", Young Master Tao felt an immense sense of relief. He casually searched for a chair, sat down on it, and continued to shout out, "Don't just stand there, keep working."

The young nurses sighed, and the magnanimous person averted his gaze as if moving away from a blade.

The female voice from the mobile phone, aside from its sound, conveys a sense of "the twilight of age," yet its momentum remains unwavering and does not lose an ounce of strength.

Outside the door, the faint sound of the aunt's wailing and cursing could be heard, and Young Master Tao was also filled with indignation

Got it

Young Master Xiao Tao did not feel that there was anything wrong with this measure, and nodded seriously: "Yes, you will stay in the guest room, and the master bedroom belongs to me. Feel free to decorate it; you will return just in time, and it will be almost finished. This afternoon, the home appliances and furniture will be delivered one after another... Hey, in such cold weather, my sister didn't install the air conditioning, and you, sister, didn't either... Won't it be cold?"... Hey, in such cold weather, my sister didn't install the air conditioning, and you, sister, didn't either... Won't it be cold?"

In her anger, the old maid almost rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to argue about it

The call was quickly connected, and Xiaowan explained the situation to Wang Lan. Immediately, an incredulous exclamation came from the other end of the phone: "Huang Xiaowan, what on earth is wrong with you? I was the one who was scheming against Luo An'an, wasn't I? How many years have we known each other? If others don't know, you should know what kind of person I am! Do you really think so highly of me that I would waste my time gossiping?"

Even though there are storms of anger and grief in her heart, after several interactions, Xiao Wan has come to understand a truth: one cannot contend with the old doctor. The more you argue, the more spirited he becomes

At this point, it is unclear what the young nurse was thinking, as she suddenly fell silent

Young Master Tao suddenly awakened, as if reminded of something of great importance. The young boy's eyes brightened instantly, and he exclaimed: "Craftsman, add three more locks to the master bedroom!"

Xiao Wan stared at him blankly, lost in thought

As expected, just as the answer button was pressed, a somewhat gloomy female voice came through the phone.

Yet in the dream of the sleeper, time is stretched infinitely, perhaps a mere moment, or it may feel as distant as a century

First of all, I would like to inquire whether your company’s types of leave include sick leave

Yet, the old doctor was still looking at him attentively and earnestly

It is not surprising that she feels depressed. In the past two days, Doctor Ye has been coming around whenever he has the time, talking incessantly and spitting as he speaks. If this continues, she fears that even her ancestors from eighteen generations ago will be dragged out by this charming yet talkative old doctor for gossip.

You, Mr. Tao, pay such a high property management fee every month, and yet this door is not soundproof, and you still have the audacity to criticize Mr. Tao. Mr. Tao has been back for less than three days, and your unfortunate son has already scratched the Lamborghini that was just purchased. When I speak a few words to you, you shamelessly complain that Mr. Tao should not stoop to the level of a child. A child, you say! He is already eleven years old, not much younger than Mr. Tao! When I try to reason with you further, your language becomes filthy. I have encountered shrews before, but this is the first time I have seen such a shrew...

After a barrage of scolding, Xiaowan felt completely deflated

At that moment, the stirring tune of the "March of the Volunteers" began to play. Most people's mobile ringtones were set to some lyrical and beautiful light music, so the use of the "March of the Volunteers" as a ringtone was quite surprising, drawing the attention of many.

Isn't Miss Su, the landlord, already abroad preparing for her wedding? Aside from me, no one else should have a key

Upon hearing the name Wang Lan, Xiao Wan's ears perked up, her round, dark eyes wide open, looking at him with a mix of confusion and vigilance

It was quite cold and stern, instantly dispelling all of Xiaowan's drowsiness completely.

Even if there are, only two words "fool" can replace it

Look at this

Xiao Wan has always been someone who is captivated by appearances, and in an instant, she felt as if she had been struck down.

The man's body shook, as if he was stunned.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Xiaowan could clearly hear the reaction from the opposite side. She was shocked and speechless, for the first time realizing that Wen Qing had such eloquence.

Oh my God, does she really have no relationship with Wen Qingzhi...? Why do these people turn a deaf ear to it?

She said slowly, "There are some things I want to talk to Miss Huang about."

Originally thought to eat dumplings, sign contracts, play part-time jobs, earn extra money, how enjoyable life is...

Yes.

Wen Qing is happy again.

Then, this... Little Wan hesitated and glanced at Wen Qingzhi. The latter's eyebrows, as sharp as ink and knives, lightly furrowed, as if lost in thought.

The lonely silhouette of an old spinster walks with infinite sadness and indignation...

Close your eyes and take a break.

The little guy's stubbornness emerged. He twisted his little head and played with the airplane model in his hand with blinking big eyes, ignoring you.

Therefore, today, she received this unknown phone call and heard a seemingly familiar but incredibly unfamiliar voice. She thought about what the owner of the voice was called, but still felt a numbness that was somewhat shocking.

When the old doctor's gaze swept over, this group of girls immediately cooperated with the old doctor's "wonderful" speech, showing appropriate rich facial expressions such as "Wow! So admirable", "So that's how it is", "So impressive", and so on.

Unmarried and pregnant. I heard that her heart condition was not good, which made her unsuitable for childbirth. It's bad enough to have a difficult delivery, but to make matters worse, her boyfriend dumped her right after the baby was born...

What's the matter?

This kind of behavior is now prevalent in many places.

Many years later, the chief physician named Ye Peng still blushes and looks radiant when he recalls the "wise" decision he made outside a certain ward on a certain day.

Tao! Su! Xiaowan was going crazy.

Card wipe.

The cup fell on the forehead, rolled and dropped to the ground, instantly shattering into shards of glass.

Was it you who just shouted about the problem with bed No. 19?

I am her friend, may I have two minutes of your time

To ask a question is to get straight to the point

The young lady felt something was amiss. As she looked up, following the other person's impeccably tailored suit, she happened to catch sight of a face as beautiful as a landscape painting, cold and exquisitely refined as if carved by a knife, devoid of any trace of worldly warmth

Liu Shao said calmly: "I assume you already know who I am, and furthermore, both of us are quite busy. Therefore, I will not engage in idle chatter. I would like to ask, last Saturday, where exactly did you find the black wallet at Yuanzhen Hospital? Do you remember what the owner looked like?"

In this world, the most unpredictable aspect is often life and death

How did the topic suddenly change

Composure, indifference

Bang

At the moment of departure, it seemed that I could still faintly hear the vague discussions of the nurses in the ward, which were faintly audible.

It must be an illusion.

Miss Huang, have you not fully disclosed any work-related matters, leaving behind troublesome tasks that only she cannot resolve, causing trouble for colleagues?

The aunt outside the door was taken aback, still unable to react, when she saw Young Master Tao reveal an exceptionally soft and charming smile, "Auntie, I know it's too much to ask you to talk about civility. So over the years, I have grown to like dogs more and more. A dog is always a dog, but sometimes a person is truly not a person"

The nurses were dumbfounded: "Uh..."

For the two of them, their brief encounter in campus life cannot be described as having any old stories to reminisce about.

It is said that with age comes kindness

Two days

No one has the key, so... that means... that's...

Young Master Liu is clearly not such a fool

Only two nurses changing the dressings exchanged a glance, gently sighed, "The patient in bed 19 has just emerged from the critical period and is showing signs of improvement, how could they be so despondent..."

If gazes could be daggers, Tao Su would undoubtedly be adorned with countless gleaming knives.

No matter when it occurs, this sudden sound will cause a spike in blood pressure, an increase in heart rate, a rush of blood, and heightened emotions.

Under the series of questions posed by Wen Qing, the other party clearly felt at a disadvantage. Although they wanted to refute, they were unable to articulate any differing viewpoints in the face of Wen Qing's methodical inquiries

When Wen Qingzhi once again requested Xiao Wan and Wang Lan to convey that they should not arrange anything against Luo An'an in front of their aunt, although Xiao Wan felt embarrassed and annoyed, she still sensed that there was something off about the situation. However, she did not feel comfortable refusing and could only dial Wang Lan's number.

Not long ago, she went to Australia for a conference, and the lingering atmosphere of low morale in the company finally lifted somewhat. Without her nitpicking oversight, everyone managed to get through a few days peacefully.

It took her about half a minute to vaguely clarify Liu Shao's question

He said softly: "I didn't notice that you were ill, and it caused you to be hospitalized. It is my fault. Here, I want to say I'm sorry to you."

Xiao Wan was completely at a loss for words with him

Wen Qing smiled and continued, "Miss Huang, even if you like me and feel unwilling, please put an end to your obsession. I have said before that it was impossible for me and Miss Huang in the past, it is impossible now, and it will be impossible in the future. Therefore, no matter how you frame An An in front of Mr. Wang Lan and relay it to my aunt through Mr. Wang Lan, it cannot change this fact..."

The old maid felt that meeting Wen Qingzhi was akin to a comet crashing violently into the Earth, marking the beginning of her tragic life story

Given Liu Shao's character, it is even less likely that he would explain too much to a minor character like Huang Xiaowan

It must be said that the young prince of the Liu family, who is not yet five years old, is indeed a remarkable person

Under the influence of Tao Ye's incessant self-affirmation, self-praise, and his obliviousness to the absurdity of it all, which is marked by an overwhelming sense of shamelessness, Xiao Wan felt an overwhelming urge to hang herself with a noodle to put an end to this unbearable noise pollution.

Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the great and all-powerful, yet somewhat nagging, Master Tao received a phone call

Snap

A faint voice came through the phone

I once thought that the turmoil of coming and going in the hospital was the abyss of suffering, the prologue to tragedy

Although Xiao Wan was naive and ignorant about power, she could easily discern from the attitudes of those around her how esteemed Liu Shao's status was. She never believed that such a lofty figure would one day lower himself to speak a word or two with her. However, under the influence of the broader environment, it would be too far-fetched to say that she knew nothing about Liu Shao.

A light laugh suddenly echoed

That is not called a blind date; that was merely having a cup of coffee casually

The speakerphone button on the phone was pressed

Unfortunately, Liu Shao has never given them a chance

As her small doubts arose one after another in her heart, Wen Qingzhi turned away indifferently and left gracefully

Why are you walking so fast? I remember that after any surgery, vigorous exercise is not advisable

Xiao Wan pondered for a long time and finally couldn't help but blurt out, "A single man and a single woman living together, what if, what if..." After hesitating for a while, she quickly added, "What if something happens..."

Xiao Wan replied cautiously, "It is I."

She timidly seized the opportunity while Director Liu was taking a breath and quickly interjected, explaining: "It is like this, I took a leave of absence, and my leave was approved by General Manager Chen..."

Through the bright glass window, outside the light blue curtains, the cold wind howls

Appendicitis surgery? Is this really such a major operation? You actually need to take three days off! People who have gallbladder stone surgeries only rest for one day and then return to work as usual. Even those who undergo a total hysterectomy only take three days off before getting back to work... You are just having your appendix removed, is it really necessary to rest for seven days?

She couldn't be bothered to explain a single word and turned to leave

The contest between the "hooligan" and the "shrew" ended in a resounding victory for the "hooligan" with the support of the door

Clearly overwhelmed by the legend, even though the other party had nothing to do with her, it made Xiaowan's blood surge with excitement, leaving her stammering for a long time with a flushed face

Xiao Wan was dumbfounded when she first encountered "hooligans fighting" and "shrews arguing"

A sudden thunderbolt struck Xiaowan's forehead without any warning

How did Teacher Ye discover it

Why didn't you remind that uncle when someone lost their wallet?

Her eyes remain clear and bright, resembling eyebrows drawn with charcoal and the blush of cherry blossoms, adorning the exquisite white porcelain like delicate snow, an indescribable beauty that captivates the heart

The young lad from the Liu family certainly knows how to cause a stir, leaving Liu's elder sister with no choice but to bring him to the hospital. When old friends meet, one is well while the other is ill, leading to several reflections and sorrows. They reminisce about their past affections, share a few sentiments, and sigh over the changes brought by time, where things remain the same but people have changed.

Xiao Wan was once again taken aback

Who knows that this journey will last for forty-eight hours

Why is the jargon of thieves so complicated

Unintentionally, it has been buried in my heart

After years of struggling in the workplace, Xiao Wan understands the current situation well; aside from grinding her teeth and swallowing blood, there seems to be no other way to cope.

Without further ado, Young Master Tao raised his eyebrows and pulled Xiao Wan into the hall, slamming the main door shut with a flick of his hand

Wang Lan? Chewing the tongue?

What about Wenqing?

There are not so many foolish and boring instances of love at first sight in this world, and the self-abasing male protagonists found in romance novels do not exist in real society

The young woman hurriedly took a few steps to avoid the crowd, found a quiet spot, took a few deep breaths, and finally, with a furrowed brow, pressed the answer button

Given his identity and status, he completely disregarded the approach and flattery of the surrounding small figures

This girl is quite stubborn

The mental torment can be considered negligible beneath Xiaowan's thick reflex arc and nerves

It was precisely young Master Tao who was scolded

Buzz!

Huang Xiaowan was awakened by the sound of her mobile phone ringing

In fact, he is currently sitting in the intensive care unit, feeling quite pleased with himself

Oh, when I came here, I had already heard about Dr. Ye's firm beliefs, and I wouldn't listen to anyone else. Since he is convinced that I am unfaithful, why should I come out to seek scolding

Just when she was being timid and hesitant, at an unknown moment, Wen Qingzhi unexpectedly walked over, took the phone from her hand without saying a word, and directly said: "Hello"

I... I just pressed the wrong button. Sometimes, a kind lie is a life-saving strategy. If she cannot articulate the reason, Xiaowan can almost be certain that a furious roar will come from the other side.

As soon as she returned, the nature of her grievances manifested itself as a retaliatory backlash, escalating further!

It is indeed inappropriate for a grown man to live at home

With a swift motion, three black lines were drawn on the corner of her forehead. Xiaowan's flattering smile suddenly froze on her face, "How could you not know?" How could you not know, with my impeccable reputation!

However, it was not until now that Xiaowan realized that compared to the hospital, this figure at home was the truly terrifying one that devours people without leaving a trace. As the saying goes, having escaped from the dragon's den, she has now entered the tiger's lair; her ears have endured inhumane torment and abuse

When Wenqing returned the phone to Xiaowan, Xiaowan still felt a bit lost.

The other party was cursing vigorously, and upon suddenly hearing these words, seemed to be momentarily taken aback

Young Master Tao's eyes sparkled with brilliance, full of vitality. "That makes sense! With my beauty like a flower and jade, if my sister develops any lustful thoughts towards me, three locks won't be enough..." After pondering for a moment, he continued, "Yes, let's add five more!"

To speak frankly, she naturally trusts Wang Lan's character

The old girl stood outside the door, holding the key, in a daze, as countless thoughts flashed through her mind in the blink of an eye

It has long been said that the nerves of an old maid are quite different from those of ordinary people

The sound of chewing the apple is particularly clear.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan became anxious, "Is the house not going to be rented to me?" She suddenly realized that the management rights of the house were no longer with Miss Su; this "ruffian" had full authority and could make decisions unilaterally. Even a "shrew" had no chance against this "ruffian," so what chance did she have?

Yes

Shi Wei's group of friends, eager to make connections, also sought to create opportunities to establish a relationship with Liu Shao

The voice from across remained cold and gloomy, saying: "You know who I am, right?"

Under the incessant chatter of Dr. Ye, these young nurses all became aware that their "husband" Wen Qingzhi had left them alone at the corridor entrance and had walked away.

It is also not ... ...

Such silence makes it difficult to discern whether it is a measure of disdain for Huang Xiaowan's inexplicable stammer or a sense of indifference and detachment that has become accustomed to this situation

Xiao Wan, terrified, clasped her hands over her head, tears streaming down her face: "I have elderly parents above me and young children below me, and there are hardly any valuable items in my home. If a brave man like you finds anything to your liking, just take it all. I will cooperate fully and will not utter a single word of complaint..."

Thus, the first door slammed in his life left him somewhat speechless

During my time in university, everyone at T University knew about the outstanding law student Liu Shao. He was neither a prominent figure in the student council nor involved with the youth league, and it seemed that he was completely absent from any activities that would allow him to stand out and showcase his talents on campus

The drowsy thoughts can no longer be sustained

The young master of the Liu family has gone missing at the Yuanzhen Hospital, what a significant matter!

Since you choked on an apple, it has arrived

Gudong

Xiao Wan felt as if a bucket of dog blood had been poured down from above, marked by a series of black lines drawn across her forehead

This "cover up" is not perhaps a code word? Does it refer to accomplices?

Xiao Wan, while crying and complaining, wiped her hand across her pant leg and was ready to continue with a few more "heartfelt" pleas for mercy. Unbeknownst to her, someone approached slowly and, without saying a word, turned her head around.

Xiao Wan solemnly interrupted his words, refusing to admit to the erroneous events between the two, the mistaken location, and the occurrence of a misguided reunion.

As a physician, one must rely on the four diagnostic methods: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. With just a distant glance, one can keenly and accurately discern both the underlying motives and the condition of the patient. What a remarkable level of skill this is

The telephone booth was suddenly enveloped in a terrifying silence

Immediately thereafter, a cacophony of clamorous voices erupted simultaneously

You, Liu Shao, are indeed surrounded by a halo of brilliance, more dazzling than the explosive small universe of Saint Seiya, but I, Huang Xiaowan, am not swayed by your charm

Just after taking a few steps, a tall figure suddenly blocked my way.

I do not know what he was thinking, but he opened the door again

Otherwise, the sages would not have reached the conclusion that "Fortune lies where misfortune lurks, and misfortune leans on fortune"

This ... ...

He can recite every detail word for word, yet he cannot remember the appearance of that person

Well, the rules for survival in the workplace are as follows: for minor illnesses, one continues to work; for major illnesses, one takes three days off but returns to work as usual. The boss has always had a habit of treating employees like cattle and horses—providing them with mere fodder while extracting every last bit of surplus value from them

This feeling is no less than being struck on the head by five million.

In the company, she has a very poor reputation, and is referred to as "Tyrannosaurus".

It has been two days! Do you think the company is a place where you can come and go as you please, like a miner? The company pays you to create value for it, and what about you? You actually took two days off...

She turned her head and suddenly asked the nurse beside her

That person has a pleasant scent of hyacinth

Miss Huang is quite a good person, how did she end up with such a gentleman? His own wife underwent several surgeries for appendicitis and he has never visited her in the hospital...

Then I took her to thank the leaders for their care, especially for sending such warm wishes during the holiday.

Xiao Wan, feeling annoyed, couldn't even be bothered to look at her phone and simply pressed the reject button

Ke Liu Shao Xun's skills are quite good, but his social abilities are indeed limited

However, this does not prevent the students of T University from knowing and revering the existence of Liu Shao

Dr. Ye Peng held the sun in his hand, radiating brilliance and exuding a passionate fervor

In fact, Liu Shao is a person whose vocal characteristics, family background, personality, appearance, and demeanor have always been extraordinary

The soundproofing effect of the door is so good that everything is heard faintly, and the impact of a "shrew" cursing in the street is nearly zero

To be honest, Xiao Wan does not want to have anything to do with him at all. Wen Shao said that encountering her brings no good, but how is she any different

However, when the old doctor turned his face, their lips quickly drooped down... The speed was simply comparable to the American art of "face-changing".

Listening to the "March of the Volunteers" repeatedly was like having epilepsy, with the incessant "Onward" echoing back and forth. Xiaowan felt helpless; she picked up the phone, ready to see who was calling with such urgency. However, her attitude, which was on the verge of exploding, suddenly changed upon seeing a name on the caller ID, her expression shifting in shock, and her scalp tingling.

Tao Su stared blankly at the frantic young woman, feeling puzzled for quite some time. Finally, as if recalling something, he hesitantly said: "Sister, could it be that you think I have some ulterior motive towards you?" At this point, he could no longer contain his laughter, laughing while pounding the wall, his laughter causing the young woman's delicate face to flush a deep red all the way to her ears

Xiao Wan let out a sigh of relief

Since she has already taken sick leave and has not caused the company any irreparable trouble, may I ask if she can rest assured to complete these three days of sick leave before returning to work

Oh my goodness! Renovating every day, yet still a pile of junk! This auntie is clearly not someone to be trifled with, clutching a bag of pickles, her voice rising even higher than the sound of the electric drill. The variety of curses in her statements is unmatched, her imposing presence even more formidable than that of the landlord among the 72 tenants.

The old maid, with a face full of bitterness and resentment, climbed the stairs with a huff and puff, thinking fiercely to herself: "That Wen Qingzhi is definitely cursed by fate! I could have made some money, but instead, I encountered Luo An'an, and ended up suffering from appendicitis and needing surgery. I haven't even seen a glimpse of the money, and I've already risked half my life!"

This is akin to a dazzling ice diamond, radiating a brilliant light with its icy and shimmering exterior, standing proudly with a cold and unyielding demeanor, rejecting any approach, whether it be well-intentioned, malicious, or even unintentional.

You make me uncomfortable, I will not take action against you, but I have remembered you

A large piece of apple, held in the mouth, cannot be spat out or swallowed, causing Xiaowan's face to turn bright red in an instant.

Everyone has one nose and two eyes; I did not cry or beg you to call me

He speaks softly and gently, smiling with composure

Listen here, Xiao Wan is a bit confused, momentarily lost in a haze.

The last time we met for a blind date

A muffled sound

Moreover, it seems that she has explained many times that Wen Qingzhi is not her husband. How could the old doctor selectively ignore the prominent "single" label on her medical record?

Xiao Wan: "Why is there a construction team here"

You are tall, rich, and handsome, with the right timing, location, and people; all the girls in the world like you

Alas, Dr. Ye, you may converse with the nurses, but do not think of me!

Wen Qing's mind wandered to something unknown, her dark and clear eyes holding a gentle smile as light filtered through the window, creating an astonishingly beautiful scene.

Thus, the emotional elder sister of the Liu family was in tears, while the mischievous young lad of the Liu family was causing a ruckus at the Yuan Zhen festival, running around wildly, uncontrollable even by the three aunts.

What status does the Liu family hold that allows you to disturb the ground under the Tai Sui? This is already infuriating.

This ... ... this ... ...

Xiao Wan rubbed her ears, always feeling that this laughter sounded so much like Wen Qingzhi's voice

Fortunately, the other party seems to have believed this explanation

What delicious apples they are

Do not misunderstand

But do you ever feel too good about yourself

Go to the pharmacy and get bandaged

This voice, she has heard it once, and it will definitely not be forgotten

Thus, in the absence of any suspects, the Liu family turned their attention towards Xiao Wan

How many people have tried their utmost but never had the chance to exchange a few words with Liu Shao, and now... the legendary master is actually calling himself

Originally, a hospitalization for appendicitis surgery required at least a three-day stay, but in less than two days, Xiao Wan quickly packed her belongings and hurriedly slipped away.

She had not delved deeply into it originally, but now upon careful reflection, when she looked up again, her face was already filled with helplessness

Finding someone to ask questions is not important; what matters is the attitude

A bright and melodious young voice sarcastically remarked: "Where did you steal your skin from? Doesn't it hurt to have blood drawn from being hit by a cup? And yet you're still here chattering away. I really don't know how you've lived this long! Where did the thief come from? What kind of thief has such great ability to make such a big commotion without any property management coming to handle it?"

Therefore, now looking at Wen Qingzhi, one wishes to run far away from here.

Get it

The voice on the other end of the phone was distinctly unfamiliar, yet it carried a faint sense of familiarity, cool and light, reminiscent of pure water flowing from a snowdrift in the midst of extreme cold, crystallizing into bright, glistening ice beads

How many days has it been since Huang Xiaowan last came to work

Why are you not answering the phone

Miss Huang's husband seems to have never visited her even once

Although it was learned that the holiday was approved by General Manager Chen, Director Liu was only stunned for a mere 0.01 percent of a second before immediately reprimanding sharply: "As the year comes to a close, everyone in the company is overwhelmed with work, and you still have the leisure to take leave? Why choose to take leave now, of all times? Just because General Manager Chen is easy to talk to does not mean you can neglect your duties. Are you thinking that just because I am going to Australia for a meeting, no one will manage your office and you can do as you please? Why choose to take leave now, of all times? Just because General Manager Chen is easy to talk to does not mean you can neglect your duties. Are you thinking that just because I am going to Australia for a meeting, no one will manage your office and you can do as you please?"

Tao Su revealed a soft and pleasant smile on her face, and said in a grand manner: "Sister, do not worry. Although you do not owe me any moral obligation for the 3 months' rent, I, Tao Ye, am a person who values integrity."

You see that I am fine, you may leave now

Although her mind was muddled for less than two seconds, she quickly reacted: "You have been here for a long time, why didn't you speak up and explain to Dr. Ye, allowing him to misunderstand our relationship?"

It seems that an arrow shot over with precision, striking Xiaowan's knee innocently

As he ran, this precious and snow-white lad from the Liu family suddenly disappeared from sight

Tao Sudun paused for a moment, then calmly said: "Although Master Tao is trustworthy, how about your trustworthiness, sister... I do not know, Master Tao."

After the call was connected, there was a brief silence on the other end

Not long after he had stopped talking, the old doctor’s gossiping spirit was once again in full swing. He took a few steps towards Xiao Wan and indignantly said: "You had fainted at the foot of the stairs, where was your husband? How could he just leave? Weren't you supposed to leave together? Why is it that you fainted, yet not a trace of him was seen? Could it be... really like what those people said? ... that he has been with someone else outside..."

Hmm. Quite good, when did you arrive

Therefore, you might as well not do anything and not take a break, continuing to avoid provoking the nurses' cold glances.

Her action of biting into the apple paused

Wasn't the focus of our earlier discussion on "expressing gratitude"?

De'er is also a pitiful person who has been tormented by the old physician

Although the elderly gentleman has aged and speaks more, he is truly a warm-hearted and good doctor

Xiao Wan's face was filled with horror as she suddenly realized that two fists were no match for four hands. If the opponent was an organized and disciplined group of burglars, then if she did not escape now, when would she? Just as she had taken two steps to flee, her arm was suddenly grabbed from behind.

The old maid fell heavily onto the bed, suddenly experiencing a happiness as if she were reborn into the world.

This is the lifestyle of Liu Shao at T University

After a long time, a clear and melodious voice calmly said: "You have quite the nerve, even daring to hang up on Young Master Liu's call."

The bright red apple reveals a snow-white cross-section, delicate as sand

Isn't it just the unfortunate younger brother of the landlord—Tao Su

This anger is concealed anger

An ominous premonition suddenly surged forth

If it were an ordinary nurse, it would be impossible for her to remain so calm and composed... Only Dr. Ye, who is always concerned about his patients, did not sense the slightest feeling of incongruity and immediately rushed over in a flurry.

Xiao Wan trembled all over, her face as pale as death. Before she could say anything, the aunt who had just returned from grocery shopping upstairs happened to pass by.

Rich yet not cloying, the atmosphere is like a song and a painting

In the eyes of the little nurse, Xiaowan's experience, no matter how unfortunate, is merely an alternative portrayal of the patients in Room 19

One person pays rent and one person lives here; this should be the legendary single apartment

The other party was silent for a moment

Even after nearly five years since graduation, upon hearing that voice, she can accurately call out the name of its owner—Liu Shao. Among both acquaintances and strangers, Liu Shao's voice has always been particularly distinctive. So much so that no one has ever mistaken his voice; as the saying goes, it is unforgettable once heard, and that is precisely the case.

You! You... a single sentence caused that aunt's blood pressure to soar, nearly making her faint

She was taken aback for a moment, took a few steps back, but the other party seemed to be yielding as well, and unexpectedly stood right in front of her.

May I move around a bit

Listening to the sound of "beep beep beep" from the other end of the phone, Xiao Wan felt quite sorry for Wen Qingzhi

Xiao Wan smiled at her, then put on her clothes, turned around, closed the door, and left

What?" Xiao Wan was taken aback, and then her temples twitched slightly: "You? You moved here?"

Speaking of which, Director Liu is a remarkable person

What the heck! Have thieves become this audacious in this day and age? They have already broken into homes and even dare to assault the homeowners!

In summary, under the frantic search by the Liu family, the prince, born with a golden key, was safely retrieved. Unfortunately, the mastermind behind the abduction managed to escape from him

whoosh

It was precisely because the old doctor happened to find me unconscious in the hallway and took timely emergency measures that I was able to turn a crisis into safety

Xiao Wan lowered her head, always feeling that the voice just now carried a sense of coldness amidst its indifference

What on earth is wrong with this child's mind? Is he moving over? It's not like there aren't places to live! Moving over just to keep an eye on a few thousand yuan in rent, how idle can he possibly be?

Wen Shao smiled gently, his bright eyes revealing a hint of cunning

Amidst Master Tao's incessant chatter, Xiao Wan's face was pitch black.

She was merely contemplating: birth, aging, illness, and death—these matters, which seem distant, are occurring in a real and tangible way in hospitals, happening around every physician, and even in her own vicinity

She is a veteran figure in the company, yet she is extremely harsh and critical towards others. Even though she herself has made egregious mistakes, she can easily brush them off, but she cannot tolerate even the slightest error from others, often relishing in wielding trivial matters as if they were authoritative commands

In the sorrowful and indignant gaze of Xiao Wan, Young Master Xiao Tao cautiously took out a silver chain, and with a "pop," opened a delicate heart-shaped platinum pendant. Inside was a finely crafted photograph of a violin girl with long hair reaching her waist, her features exquisite and her demeanor cool, a true beauty of the highest order

Why compete for the "Oscar Academy Award"

Xiao Wan did not respond, and for a moment, she could not figure out what exactly he was planning.

Hearing Xiao Wan's words of gratitude, the old doctor smiled kindly

Is the leave approved by General Manager Chen

I told you, under such sufficient heating conditions in the hospital, when the patient was lying on the floor, do you know how I discovered that she was unwell?

The apple core was finally swallowed, and someone hurriedly patted their chest to relieve the choking sensation, their small hands carefully cradling the half-eaten apple, feeling as if they had been reborn after a disaster, with the sky clear and the earth bright, and life had once again become beautiful and radiant

However, when Wen Qing smiles, shouldn't it carry more of a sense of disdain and contempt? How could it possibly be so calm and composed, even carrying a hint of subtle malice?

The matter dates back to last week at Yuanzhen Hospital

I have moved here

Hello, Huang Xiaowan

A mouthful of old blood surged to her throat, but she forcefully suppressed it. This unfortunate young lady had a mournful expression, her breath faint as she said, "So, Master Tao, what do you think about this matter..."

After transferring, changing cars, and taking taxis, amidst various tribulations, at 3 PM, the young lady Huang Xiaowan stood downstairs at her own building with tears in her eyes, gazing at the house she lived in, suddenly feeling a complex emotion of "after hardship comes happiness"

Xiao Wan thought she had dialed the wrong number, and after saying "Hello" a few times without receiving a response, she was just about to hang up and continue sleeping

However, although she should have been furious, at this moment, Xiao Wan did not exhibit the slightest trace of such emotion

Click, click ... ...

But later, didn't Dr. Ye go out

For Xiaowan, such a focus is somewhat perplexing, akin to a monk who cannot grasp the essence of a matter.

Immediately, a rather subtle feeling surfaced in my heart

Immediately after, the little girl quickly glanced over and saw that Xiao Wan had no reaction, which made her quietly breathe a sigh of relief and awkwardly shift the topic to another subject

The other party paused for a moment, seemingly satisfied with this response

Can Wenqing believe it

At that moment, Xiao Wan was both angry and amused

Boom

The door slammed shut with a "bang" again

However, the upcoming appendectomy will not be pleasant

It was unclear who shouted urgently: "Quick, use this to cover your forehead."

Thus, in what appeared to be a smooth and courteous "interrogation" by Liu Shao, our stubborn protagonist, without a second thought, abruptly hung up the phone with a snap.

However, if you fall into my hands, regardless of whether you are right or wrong, today, Liu Shao will ensure that you thoroughly savor and swallow a flavor that is tenfold or even a hundredfold more exquisite than this one

Xiaowan had no choice but to follow his words, responding ambiguously: "Uh, this... I..."

He also saw the wallet that the uncle dropped, which was picked up by that aunt

She suddenly felt how detestable this unfortunate child was

The black wallet that Xiaowan found at Yuanzhen Hospital belongs to the perpetrator

Deliberately arranging for Luo An'an to be at fault, and sending Wang Lan to convey a message to Wen Qingzhi's aunt

The nurses glared angrily.

I like Wenqing

This sleep was profound and tumultuous, shrouded in darkness, and I lost track of how long I had been asleep

If any person from T University answers the phone here, I fear that under the dazzling halo of Liu Shao, they would speak without reservation, express everything in detail, and recount the entire sequence of events to him in full.

Xiao Wan put down the apple in her hand, instantly retracting her earlier nonchalance. The young woman, with her bright and quiet black eyes, looked earnestly at the old doctor, sincerely expressing her gratitude: "I truly want to thank Dr. Ye this time!"

The young girl was momentarily taken aback, then nodded, "You are now in the adjustment period and can engage in moderate exercise."

Thank you

The young nurses blinked their pure black eyes, inquiring with their mouths while their hearts roared: We are nurses, if even the newly interned nurses can master the art of "observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation" to perfection, then what use is there for doctors at all

As soon as you answered the call, you spoke to me with such a condescending and aloof attitude, which has left me feeling quite uncomfortable.

Attempting to deliver a fatal blow to the one who dares to trouble the Liu family through Xiao Wan

When holding my forehead, my palms are damp

Ke Xiaowan has completely lost her appetite now

It is like this ... ...

Well, it must be an illusion

Covering up? It has only been mentioned online that marking the entrance is a signal used by thieves to scout the area

As he left, a refreshing and clear natural breeze swept into the room

Young Master Xiao Tao glanced away and said naturally: "It's the renovation."

Xiao Wan hurriedly quickened her pace as if fleeing for her life, while Wen Shao leisurely strolled behind, surprisingly commenting with an air of nonchalance.

Main bedroom? I am staying in the guest room

Someone forced a smile on their face that looked better than crying, with a big chunk of apple in their mouth, their small face flushed red, and they mumbled: "I don't know... um, I thought I ate too many dumplings at noon, maybe I have an upset stomach, just bear with it, it will pass... I didn't know it was that serious..."

You said ... ...

I am not comfortable, and naturally, I will not let you be comfortable knowing the answer

Wipe it off

The young man before me stands tall and elegant, with a gentle smile

At that moment, the deafening sound of the electric drill rang out once more

The corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up at an angle, her sparkling dark eyes resembling obsidian immersed in mercury, bright as snow, yet tinged with self-mockery

Burglary!

Upon hearing the curses from outside the door, Young Master Tao's beautiful face immediately broke into a charming smile, revealing two wicked little white fangs.

Xiao Wan felt a tumult of emotions, unable to remain calm.

The young lady's expression suddenly turned awkward

However, the Tyrannosaurus rex is indeed a Tyrannosaurus rex. It quickly reacted and said with an air of arrogance, "Who are you? Let Miss Huang answer the phone, I have something to discuss with her."

"This is the girl I am pursuing, she is from the 2009 class of the music department at T University, named Shang Qingxiao." After a pause, this mischievous child earnestly said: "Sister, at your age, you should stop watching idol dramas. Listening to what those youth idol dramas say, that men who are used to delicacies will only choose plain dishes... nonsense! Tao Ye has good taste, he is not interested in plain dishes, and has no interest in young grass or old cows whatsoever..."

Speaking of this incident, Wen Shao shrugged his shoulders, clearly feeling a bit of a headache as well

The aunt upstairs was unprepared, and suddenly startled me greatly, making me tremble with anger, my words increasingly filled with curses and insults, wishing that my life would be as long as that of pigs and dogs

Moreover, he is able to describe what the aunt he bumped into was like

Xiaowan was holding a half-eaten apple, still hesitating about where to take a bite when she heard the old doctor speak earnestly: "The pain from an upset stomach cannot be confused with the pain from appendicitis. My dear girl, are you treating yourself like Ultraman? No matter how strong your body is, it cannot withstand such torment from you"

The old maid held the phone, her thoughts bubbling up gradually, feeling particularly hesitant in the moment. However, she heard Wen Qingzhi quietly say, "Alright, I understand what is going on. Thank you."

Alas! Avoid!

He chuckled lightly, and then, as if recalling something, quickly restrained his smile and said淡淡道: "The introducer Wang Lan is your friend, isn't she?"

Step aside!

Puff

I have returned home, it is still better to be home

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone grew increasingly sharp, causing Xiao Wan's scalp to feel as if it were exploding in waves.

As for the second person, they are likely to retreat in a cowardly manner, avoiding any confrontation.

Immediately after, Wen Qingzhi said淡淡: "Since it is unintentional, I kindly ask Miss Huang to show mercy and not let Mr. Wang Lan gossip in front of my aunt anymore"

How is it?

Looking at this group of young nurses, Xiao Wan felt for the first time how "fortunate" it was to be ill. At least as a patient, one does not have to compete for the "Oscar" like these intern nurses do, who not only have to care for the patients but also have to compete for the "Oscar"!

She was taken aback; Young Master Tao is certainly not foolish

Thus, the conversation cut through the fog of confusion like a sharp blade, directly addressing the main point in such an abrupt manner

There is a difference known as a world of difference, and there is a distance that can be described as a chasm between heaven and earth

A sound of a fist knocking startled Xiaowan

However, this is Huang Xiaowan
