"Sister Chu Ci, why are you here?"
Yan Xiao and Chu Ci both work in the entertainment industry, and they all know each other, plus the two of them had collaborated on a movie before, so naturally, their relationship is pretty good.
"Han Xi is my friend, I came over to talk to her about something. What’s up with you?"
It’s well known that Han Xi’s department isn’t one you can just walk into for minor ailments; usually, patients here need major surgeries. Follow current novels on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"I came here for an IV because of a fever."
Yan Xiao spoke as if it was the most natural thing, without feeling anything amiss.
Li Manman, on the other hand, couldn’t help but speak up: "I say, stop trying to get our Xiao Xi’s attention. She’s getting married to Lu Jinghan at the beginning of next month. She doesn’t like your puppy type." At Old Master Lu’s birthday party, Li Manman had met Yan Xiao, and he was even warned by Lu Jinghan at the time.
Yan Xiao shrugged indifferently: "I’m a real man, not a puppy. Anyway, let her get married! I never said she couldn’t."
This comment... almost sounded like there was something between Han Xi and him.
"Since you’re not after our Xiao Xi, why don’t you just go to the regular clinic instead of coming here for an IV?"
"I just feel like it."
"Heh, I think you’re just scheming for Xiao Xi. Better curb your little thoughts before Lu Jinghan beats you up so bad you can’t even find your grave to cry at."
Li Manman spoke slowly and warningly, her expression showing arrogant joy.
Han Xi hung the IV bottle the nurse had just placed on the table onto the infusion stand, completely ignoring the endless banter between the two. She leaned down to insert the needle for Yan Xiao: "Alright, just sit here quietly. A nurse will come to remove the needle later."
"Are you staying here?"
"I have to go into surgery soon, and don’t come back here tomorrow, go to the clinic like you should."
Li Manman raised her eyebrows with malicious delight, picked up her bag from the sofa, and was ready to leave: "Puppy, big sis is leaving first."
"You’re crazy, who’s a puppy? I think you’re more like a big cow."
Yan Xiao blurted out without thinking, as they started another round of playful bickering.
Li Manman was almost infuriated to death, if it weren’t for Chu Ci and Han Xi holding her back, she surely would have turned Yan Xiao into a walking disaster.
Watching Li Manman and Chu Ci get into the elevator together, Han Xi quickly headed to the operating room.
By the time the surgery ended, it was already noon, and Han Xi changed clothes and went straight to the hospital cafeteria.
After getting her food, Han Xi lifted the tray and saw Song Yan inside, waving at her. She quickly ran over and sat down opposite Song Yan.
"Brother, aren’t you supposed to be off today?"
"I swapped shifts with a colleague. Just finished surgery, must be quite tired, right?"
Song Yan looked at the dishes on Han Xi’s tray and picked up his chopsticks to give her all his braised ribs: "Eat more. Isn’t Lu Jinghan against you dieting?"
When Han Xi was getting her food earlier, she didn’t ask for any meat, only selected some vegetables.
"Brother, how do you know?" Han Xi looked at Song Yan with surprise.
"He called me this morning, asked me to make sure you eat well."
Han Xi frowned at Song Yan: "Why listen to him just because you’re my brother? Seriously, always siding with outsiders."
"He’s doing it for your own good, hurry up and eat the meat."
