CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 370: ANNUAL PARTY PERFORMANCE 1

Lu Chi spoke with his usual humor. Nianyang was already certain he was Yu Nan. Since he was an old acquaintance, her attitude towards him became more relaxed,

"To avoid being noticed, let’s call each other by our current names. By the way, Doctor Lu, how did you recognize me?"

A single "Doctor Lu" instantly distanced their relationship. But given the current situation, it was the only way to address him. Lu Chi hid the bitterness in his eyes, smiled slightly, and said,

"You’ve forgotten that we’ve worked together for so many years, treating many patients. I’ve long remembered your treatment methods by heart.

From the first time I saw you, I felt you were familiar, but I never dared to be certain.

After your surgery yesterday, the way you bandaged patients made me immediately recognize you."

Nianyang pressed her lips together, "Well, you really are my good partner. It’s fate that we can meet again.

But you know how strict the atmosphere is in this era. I’m a married woman, so we need to be more formal in our conversations to avoid misunderstandings by others."

"Nian... Saozi, you’ve only been here for half a year and you’ve already found someone? Isn’t it an arranged marriage?" Lu Chi felt some pain inside.

He had already learned from the nurses last night that Nianyang hadn’t actually married Li Tingyan, but they were merely an engaged couple with a dating report.

When he heard this news, he was relieved that Nianyang wasn’t really married, giving him another chance.

Lu Chi sincerely believed that perhaps Nianyang had been assigned to Li Tingyan due to local customs and arranged by her family.

Otherwise, given Nianyang’s previous life’s personality, which was as steadfast as an iron wall, how could she find someone in just half a year?

He knew that in her past life, a man pursued Nianyang for three years without success.

Lu Chi had delayed expressing his feelings because he knew Nianyang’s heart was as hard as stone, and feared that revealing his intentions would end their friendship. Little did he know things would spiral out of control later.

The moment Lu Chi was reborn, he was filled with regret for not telling Nianyang his feelings. Luckily, fate allowed them to meet again.

This time, he vowed to seize the opportunity!

But the next moment, Nianyang’s words completely shattered Lu Chi’s heart,

"Ayan and I are not in an arranged marriage. I genuinely like him; that’s why I’m with him. I used to be alone and didn’t realize how wonderful it is to have someone. Doctor Lu, you should also find someone soon."

"Haha, seems like you’ve been assimilated by this era and even started playing matchmaker." Lu Chi forced a stiff smile,

"Saozi, you say you truly like Li Tingyan. You’ve only known him for half a year. Why do you like him, just because he’s handsome?"

Clearly, he wasn’t lacking himself. Why couldn’t Nianyang see him?

It was the same before rebirth, and it remained the same after!

"Am I such a shallow person?" Nianyang rolled her eyes, "Liking someone is just that—liking. There’s no reason; it’s just a feeling."

From Nianyang’s expression, Lu Chi could see she was speaking from the heart, and his heart sank to the bottom.

He was too late. Nianyang genuinely liked another man. What should he do? When he recognized Nianyang, he thought that fate allowed them both to reincarnate in the same era so they could fulfill the relationship they missed in their past lives.

But now that Nianyang had someone she liked, he had even less of a chance than in his previous life.

At least in his past life, Nianyang was alone, and he could stay by her side. Now, he had no chance at all.

He truly wasn’t willing to accept this!
