CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: FOOLISH JUNIOR BROTHER

At this moment, both Xiao Li and Dai Zihan’s phones rang. They took out their phones and saw that Xiao Wenjing had replied to the group chat.

Wenjing the Missing: [Even though I’m always forced to witness PDA, Little Li Li’s recent state has been great. Her happy look is even more blissful than when she got married.

Considering her happiness, we, as her sisters, should be a bit more forgiving towards her!

At worst, we can return the PDA later on. Who hasn’t experienced any PDA?]

Below Xiao Wenjing’s message was one from Feng Qing, who had only copied Xiao Wenjing’s last sentence.

Feng Ye Piaopiao: [Who hasn’t had any PDA?]

Dai Zihan read it and replied with a sentence of her own.

Zhihan For You: [Who hasn’t had any PDA?]

Xiao Li saw the message and sent a text: [Come on! Let’s hurt each other! Don’t let me be undefeated!]

A single stone stirred a thousand waves...

Xiao Li’s message directly annoyed the three in the group, and Dai Zihan got so angry that she physically grabbed Xiao Li’s neck...

Despite being choked, Xiao Li was happy because she felt that Xiao Wenjing was right. She was different now.

In the lab, Zhang Yang sneakily glanced at Qin Xiao, and after a while, glanced again...

Qin Xiao had noticed long ago but ignored him. Eventually, Zhang Yang couldn’t hold back and asked, "Senior, didn’t you go for a pre-pregnancy checkup with your wife yesterday?

Is your health not too good?

Did you get into a fight with your wife because of this?"

On hearing this, Qin Xiao’s face turned dark...

What’s wrong with my health?

And when did I have a fight with Nini?

If Nini wanted to hit me, I’d just lie there and let her hit. How could I fight with her?

Qin Xiao turned to Zhang Yang and said coldly, "Where did you get the idea that I’m in bad health? Or that I’m fighting with your sister-in-law?"

Zhang Yang, feeling Qin Xiao’s cold gaze, nervously swallowed. Unlike other newly entered junior colleagues, Zhang Yang knew his senior very well, who was pretty much a smiling tiger.

Though nervous, Zhang Yang voiced his doubts, "This morning, in the changing room, I saw you putting on your lab coat. I noticed scratches on your arm and neck. Who but your wife could leave marks on you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao finally understood Zhang Yang’s misunderstanding and coolly replied, "Zhang Yang, you really need to start dating.

Otherwise, always asking such stupid questions won’t bother me as your senior. I’m just worried it might lower the overall IQ of our lab."

After speaking, Qin Xiao took a report to see the professor, leaving Zhang Yang red-faced, pointing at Qin Xiao’s retreating figure, then at himself...

Was his question that stupid?

At Professor Zhou’s office, Qin Xiao knocked on the door and only entered after hearing Professor Zhou’s response...

Professor Zhou sat at the desk, looking unwell.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao quickly poured him a cup of water, "Professor, is your stomach acting up again?"

Professor Zhou waved his hand, "Old issue. Yesterday, my wife took me for a checkup too. The gastroscopy results weren’t immediate, sent for biopsy. Not sure what the outcome is?"

Qin Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly at this, "Teacher..."

Professor Zhou shook his head, unwilling to discuss further, "You’re here to show me the report, right!"

Qin Xiao nodded and handed the report to Professor Zhou.

Professor Zhou took it and looked it over. Seeing the final numbers, he nodded with satisfaction. If anything happened to his health, the lab wouldn’t be afraid of being left unmanaged.

"Ah Xiao, leave the report here. I’ll take a closer look later. Go ahead and get busy!"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Alright."

At the hospital, Xiao Li, Dai Zihan, and the night shift doctor finished their handover, checked the wards, and made detailed records for the patients she was responsible for, before taking a break...

As soon as Dai Zihan took a break, she started thinking about what to eat for lunch. She recalled the restaurant choices Xiao Li usually made, which always had good flavor and quantity, so she asked Xiao Li, "Little Li Li, which restaurant are you planning to order from for lunch? Help me order one too!"

Xiao Li nodded, "Sure!"

Ever since the first time ordering together with others from the department left her hungry, Qin Xiao gave Xiao Li a list, and she started ordering herself.

She never specifically asked anyone from the department if they wanted to order together.

Everyone in the department had their regular ordering group, mainly ordering from a few fixed places. Apparently, one of them was owned by a nurse’s family.

If she was to ask others if they wanted to order together, she might offend someone.

So she never asked, not even Dai Zihan, to avoid accusations of favoritism.

This time, Dai Zihan offered to order, and they happened to be standing by the nurses’ station when others overheard, so ordering along with Zhihan was perfectly fine.

While speaking, Xiao Li took out her phone, opened the menu list in her album, looked at a restaurant name, and searched it on the ordering platform, setting the delivery time to two hours later.

It was still early before lunchtime. If the food arrived too early, they wouldn’t have time to eat.

If they didn’t order now, they might get busy later and forget to order. Ordering on the spot means waiting quite a while...

Just as Xiao Li was placing the order, a nurse who had just fetched medical instruments returned and told Xiao Li that someone was looking for her outside the respiratory department...

After the last time being kidnapped, Xiao Li had stopped foolishly going outside the respiratory department to meet people. If someone really had urgent business, they’d come inside the department to find her...

If they didn’t come in, that indicated a problem, so she definitely wouldn’t leave the department after work.

She would call uncle to come to the department to pick her up.

Ah...

Learning martial arts really should be scheduled, not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the inevitable!

Xiao Li didn’t move, and Dai Zihan asked puzzledly, "Didn’t someone say they’re looking for you? Why aren’t you going?"

Xiao Li replied indifferently, "It’s just a few steps from the department to outside. If they really have something urgent, they can come inside to find me. I’m too lazy to go out. I’ll just wait here at the nurses’ station, making sure to be seen as soon as they come in."

Dai Zihan shook her head, "You didn’t used to be this lazy! I’ll go call them in for you! It’s one thing for you to wait foolishly, but you can’t let others wait foolishly too!"

As Dai Zihan spoke and was about to go, she was stopped by Xiao Li, "Don’t go... listen to me..."

Seeing Xiao Li’s serious expression, although puzzled, Dai Zihan complied and didn’t go...

After about ten minutes, when Dai Zihan was tired of waiting, a figure appeared at the department door.

Wen Zeyu walked into the department with an anxious expression and, upon seeing Xiao Li, approached her in a few steps, "Little Li, grandpa is not doing well. He wants to see you. Can you go see him?"

Xiao Li responded coldly, "No!"
