Lu Weixi seemed to notice something too, turning to look at him, Zhao Zihuan immediately retracted his hand, pointing at a spot on his own cheek, “Here.”
Lu Weixi was somewhat confused, “What?” She touched her other cheek, “Here?”
Zhao Zihuan shook his head, hesitated for a moment, pulled out a tissue from his pocket, lightly placed it on her cheek, slightly pressed with his fingertips, gently removing the smudge on her face, “Here.”
“Ah, I’m sorry. Excuse me for a moment.” Lu Weixi probably felt it was a bit inappropriate and headed for the washroom. She was so preoccupied with treating her injury and watching over her mother that she didn’t notice her own messiness, her body and face stained with dirt.
Although Lu Weixi’s temper has mellowed considerably, women always love to look beautiful. She meticulously cleaned the dirt off her face and body, though her hairstyle was in disarray. Without a comb handy, she could only pull out the hairpins and bands. A cascade of long hair fell down, adding a touch of feminine allure in its disarray.
Zhao Zihuan waited outside. When he saw her coming out, her slim fingers running through her jet-black long hair, picking up a few disobedient strands. Her face seemed freshly washed, water droplets still clinging to her cheeks, highlighting her fair skin and peachy complexion. For some reason, he thought of a sweet, juicy peach, just the kind that leaves a lingering taste in your mouth.
Seeing that he was still outside, Lu Weixi was a little surprised, then smiled generously, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I hope I didn’t interfere with your work.”
“It’s alright, I’m off today.” The nature of a doctor’s work is slightly different, with shifts day and night, “I happened to be visiting a friend nearby today. I didn’t expect to see you there. And you, do you have to go back to work?”
Lu Weixi nodded, so that’s why he was there. “Let’s see when their side is ready, after such an incident, they must inspect, there’s no need to rush.”
As they were talking, the department head happened to pass by, patting Zhao Zihuan’s shoulder: “There’s a preoperative meeting for a patient later, since you’re here, go join.”
Lu Weixi immediately stepped back: “In that case, Dr. Zhao, I won’t bother you. When I come to the hospital in a couple of days, you can send me the bill and I’ll get it reimbursed.”
“It’s just a small sum of money.” Zhao Zihuan said with a beaming smile, not further insisting, “How about this: if you want to show your gratitude, how about treating me to dinner next time?”
Lu Weixi nodded, left the hospital, and returned to the construction site. With the site still being checked, she waited around. Xiaochen came over first to ask about her injury, then couldn’t resist gossiping, “Lu, is this doctor another one of your admirers?”
Lu Weixi turned her head, “Firstly, get rid of the ‘also’, there is absolutely no flirtation between Mr. Wang and me this morning. And, the relationship between Dr. Zhao and me is strictly doctor-patient.” Lu Weixi was not foolish; she could tell Zhao Zihuan had feelings for her. But in college, she had plenty of suitors; if she had to reciprocate everyone who liked her, wouldn’t she be booked till next month?
A beauty should always have the confidence of a beauty.
At the same moment, at the golf course in the western suburbs of Yan City.
Qin Zhiyou was aiming for the hole, about to make a gentle putt when a message came through. He opened it to find word of Lu Weixi’s injury..
