A man could not be considered as handsome, but in terms of appearance, he could not compare to Xiu Hao.

Of course, it was even worse than him.

However, he had an excellent overall, dressed in gray jute slacks and brown loafers, with a checkered collar shirt and an English suit jacket.

With his short hair and rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, he gave off a refined feeling. He had an appropriate smile on his face and spoke with a plentiful expression. He liked to be accompanied by some gestures, giving off the impression that he was a very cultured man.

As if Li Tongxi was very busy, she lied down on the table writing something, and never raised her head.

It was normal that she did not raise her head, but she did not reject this man, or chase him away. This made Shi Lei a little surprised.

Li Tongxi raised her head, glanced at the man, and continued to busy himself with his work, and had no intention to speak at all.

The man did not show the slightest bit of anger, his face still had that kind of understanding smile, and he smiled lovingly: "Tongxi, don't work so hard, if you don't eat dinner on time, you will starve to death. I know you like drinking winter melon soup, so I'll help you pack a serving."

"No need." Li Tongxi finally spoke, but this time, she did not even raise her head.

The man nodded. "Alright then. I won't disturb your work anymore. Remember to eat on time."

Then, he turned around and walked out.

To be honest, seeing how gentle and considerate this man looked, even Shi Lei would be moved if she was a girl.

Li Tongxi actually didn't take anyone seriously, and from start to finish, she had never even looked at anyone directly.

When the man walked to the door, he passed by Shi Lei and looked at him thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.

Just as Shi Lei was about to enter, that man's voice suddenly came from behind: "You're Shi Lei?"

"It's me." Shi Lei turned to look, but the man had returned.

"I'm Zhang Rui." The man scrutinized Shi Lei from head to toe, his gaze full of goodwill.

"Oh." Shi Lei nodded: "I've never heard of it."

"You …" Anger flashed across Zhang Rui's face. He graduated with excellent grades from a prestigious school in the United States, came back as a teacher at the Academy of Biology, and was highly valued by the department's leaders. He was also one of the top teachers in the department. As his teaching skills were very high, he was very popular in the Biology Engineering Academy.

In other words, his place in the eyes of the students of the Biology Department was similar to Shi Lei's position in the eyes of the students of Chinese Medical College.

However, he had an advantage over Shi Lei. He was able to obtain the strong support of the department head, but Shi Lei did not have such a good life. As long as others did not cause him trouble, he would already be thankful.

Zhang Rui never thought that Shi Lei would be so arrogant, even more so than himself.

He sneered, "I heard that you have some ability in teaching Chinese medicine?"

"Not really. He's pretty good." Shi Lei corrected. Of course, there was no need to act humble when discussing his strengths.

Right now, he was certain that since his father-in-law, Hundred Herbs Chen, had come back to life, he could only look up to him in terms of medical skills.

"Is that so? "You're not being modest."

"Why should I be modest?"

Zhang Rui nodded his head and said, "Not bad, it seems that you really do have some ability. In a few days, the Medical School of the University of California will come to my school to study. I heard that the Chinese Medical College will arrange for you to teach in the experimental class?"

"Right." Shi Lei nodded.

"It's my honor. I will also represent the Dean. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to exchange pointers when the time comes."

"Do as you please. I'm not really looking forward to it." Shi Lei said indifferently. He was busy, how could he be in the mood to compete with these brats all day.

There were many people who were jealous of him. If they were to compete with each other, wouldn't they die from exhaustion?

"You should look forward to it. Perhaps, I will make things difficult for you?"

"Do as you wish. If there is nothing else, can I go in now?" Shi Lei pointed to the office door and asked.

If the enemy makes you angry, that means you have no confidence in defeating him. Shi Lei was really not worried about the other person's challenge.

Zhang Rui withdrew the corner of his eyes and finally turned around and left.

Shi Lei knocked on the office door. Li Tongxi raised his head, looked at Shi Lei, and then lowered his head.

Shi Lei was startled, he never thought that Li Tongxi would also treat him like this.

No matter what, the two of them have been together for a long time, and I have even helped her 'close up' before …

How could she be so irresponsible?

Without receiving Li Tongxi's invitation, Shi Lei walked straight in front of Li Tongxi, smiled and said: "It's already time to end class, why are you still working? Shall we go eat? "

"I'm not hungry. Go and eat." Li Tongxi said.

Shi Lei smacked his lips. He felt that she treated him differently from he treated others well.

"I'm not hungry now, but I'll be hungry later. I always have to eat." Shi Lei advised.

"No need."

"What if I starve to death? How about, I'll bring some back for you. How about some winter melon soup? " Shi Lei had even learned this from Zhang Rui, he didn't understand why those men were so adept at camping. They didn't even have the chance to eat with Li Tongxi, how could they know what she liked to eat?

He had often had the chance to eat with her, but he had ignored that question.

Humans, ah, always do not know how to treasure things that are easily obtainable.

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Then shall we go out and have a drink? I have something I want to talk to you about. "

"I'm busy."

"Haha, just now, Elder Li came to find me, he was still worried about your health. You … Too much? " Shi Lei asked tentatively. Since he didn't want to touch Li Tongxi's wound, he wanted to know her current mental state. It really was a difficult problem.

"Yes." Li Tongxi said.

"Why do you drink so much? Aren't you happy yesterday? "

"Yes, I am."

"You …"

"You see, I'm very busy." Li Tongxi suddenly raised her head, and said while looking at Shi Lei with no expression.

Seeing the look in Li Tongxi's eyes, Shi Lei's heart sank.

He finally understood why Li Huazhen would be so worried that he couldn't work when he saw her gaze and came to find him at work.

Shi Lei also realized that there was something wrong with Li Tongxi.

Her eyes were terrible.

How to describe it?

Just like what Li Huazhen said, it was like a person that had just woken up. It was impossible to differentiate the people and objects in front of him, and every single one of them felt unfamiliar.

However, this description was still far from enough. Her eyes were like a thousand-year cold pond. When looking at someone, it did not carry any emotion. Even if you threw a few stones inside, it would not cause any ripples.

Those who weren't familiar with her would think that she was originally cold, but now it was even more severe.

But Shi Lei knew that she was sick.
