When Fang Yan woke up, Cheng Zheng had already gone to the hospital.

It had been like this for the past few days. Just as Cheng Zheng had said, he was very busy. He was so busy that other than the time he spent with Fang Yan, he wished he could stay in the on-call room.

Fang Yan casually tied her long hair into a bun and went to the kitchen for breakfast.

That was what Cheng Zheng had prepared before he left.

Today it was pancakes, tofu pudding, and a few side dishes.

Fang Yan thought that it seemed like Cheng Zheng woke up late today and went straight to work after his morning run.

If he had enough time, he preferred to make some simple food himself, such as sandwiches and sunny-side up eggs.

Fang Yan put on some light makeup and went to the hospital.

She had asked Dr. Xiao Song before. Jiang Lan would be discharged successfully in a few days.

When Fang Yan arrived at the ward, it was lunchtime. A few intern doctors surrounded Jiang Lan and chatted non-stop.

“Why are you so happy? Dr. Little Song, the corners of your mouth are curled up to the sky.”

Xiao Song’s senior said, “It’s all because of his newfound seniority. A new batch of interns came to our hospital on Monday. He’s finally not the youngest anymore.”

“That’s right.” Xiao Song said, “Sister Fang Yan, you don’t know, but they’re all PhD students. I wonder how it feels to hear a PhD student call you senior.”

At the same time, his senior sister laughed at him. “Don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to our Yang Xi. She’s a beautiful and talented student, don’t even think about it. Countless people have gone over to fawn over her today, but she’s cold and aloof. I heard that she likes our Director Cheng, and the only department she’s interested in is our neurosurgery department.”

“My master?” Doctor Little Song glanced at the expressionless Fang Yan and immediately changed his words. “What’s so good about being a PhD student? Sister Fang Yan also graduated with a PhD. How is she lacking?”

Fang Yan said innocently, “I have a master’s degree.”

Xiao Song glared at her stupid teammates and pulled her two senior sisters to go on duty.

Jiang Lan nagged worriedly, “Director Cheng has a little fan?”

“Grandma,” Fang Yan reminded Jiang Lan, “Director Cheng is my fan. Have you forgotten?”

As she spoke, Fang Yan arranged Jiang Lan’s food box. After watching her finish eating, she went to deliver lunch to Cheng Zheng.

Fang Yan was not very good at cooking, so she went to the restaurant recommended by Qi You to order food.

Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. Fang Yan bumped into Yang Xi.

Yang Xi had just come out of Cheng Zheng’s office when she saw Fang Yan from afar. She raised her hand and greeted her. Those who didn’t know better would think that the two of them were good friends who had been separated for many years.

A nurse who passed by introduced her. “She’s an intern who just transferred to our department. She’s a really good person. Every one of us received imported snacks.”

Yang Xi walked over gracefully. “You must be Sister Fang Yan. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters said that Brother Cheng Zheng is wooing you. Is that true? Are you his girlfriend?”

“I’m Fang Yan, but Cheng Zheng didn’t mention you to me. If you’re curious about his private matters, you can ask him yourself.”

Fang Yan was about to leave when Yang Xi stopped her.

“Since you’re Brother Cheng Zheng’s friend, you’re my friend. Brother Cheng Zheng hasn’t started his surgery work yet. My doctorate specializes in neurology.” Yang Xi specially emphasized on the word neurology. “You don’t understand such medical terms, right? It’s okay. If you have any problems in the future, you can look for me.”

“Alright.” Fang Yan handed the lunch box to Yang Xi. “I’m here to deliver food. Do you want to eat it for him?”

“You!” Yang Xi looked down at the food box with the transparent lid. “Don’t you know that Brother Cheng Zheng doesn’t like to eat fish? He likes Japanese food!”

Fang Yan said calmly, “Eating fish is healthy. It’s also suitable for you and nourishes your brain.”

Looking at Fang Yan’s back, Yang Xi felt that this person was really annoying. How could her Brother Cheng Zheng like such a woman!

Yang Xi frowned slightly. She had chased after Cheng Zheng for so long and had repelled countless potential love rivals. How could she be intimidated by Fang Yan?

She didn’t believe it!

However, when Yang Xi asked Cheng Zheng out for dinner that night, she was rejected again.

Yang Xi had exquisite makeup on, but tears welled up in her eyes.

“Brother Cheng Zheng, I haven’t seen you for three years. Do you have to treat me like this? Then why did I study medicine so hard?”

Cheng Zheng said indifferently, “I’ve never bullied you, Yang Xi, but your brother Yang Chen is the only brother you have. You can only be willful to him. If you only study medicine for me, you won’t be able to stay in the neurosurgery department for the assessment in the second half of the year.”

Yang Xi was stunned. She did not expect Cheng Zheng to be so ruthless.

Yang Xi blushed and retorted, “Can’t I have my own ideals?”

“That’s good.” Cheng Zheng’s voice was still calm. “Then don’t waste your energy on me. In the future, call me Director Cheng when in the hospital.”
