Following that, Han Qiuyun washed away the impurities.
Afterward, the two of them started chatting.
Turns out, those two interns only worked until five in the afternoon and then they went home.
Since no one would come for consultation anyway, and even if someone did, Han Qiuyun could handle it alone, she simply let them leave early.
Staying here would just be a waste of time.
Moreover, she could tell that their hearts were no longer in traditional Chinese medicine.
Faced with such a situation, all she could do was sigh.
Thankfully, today she met Su Chen, which gave her a glimmer of hope for change.
The interns finished at five, and it was already eight in the evening.
They must have gone home by now.
And because the department of traditional Chinese medicine didn't get along well with other departments, Han Qiuyun didn't make many friends in the hospital.
Gradually, Han Qiuyun started to find this young man quite handsome.
At this moment, Su Chen was washing a towel.
His expression was so serious.
With his sharp facial features and a distinctive yet not too long haircut, Han Qiuyun also noticed that this man surprisingly had double eyelids, and even longer eyelashes than her.
He was really good-looking.
Better looking than any man in the hospital.
Of course, to say Su Chen was the best-looking of all the men in the hospital might be an exaggeration.
Perhaps it's just the lover's gaze.
Han Qiuyun had been single for so many years, and no man had ever stirred such thoughts in her.
But when she saw the side profile of this young man, her heart unexpectedly fluttered.
However, this young man seemed too young.
He must be at most twenty-five years old, right?
If he is twenty-five, then at twenty-eight, she would only be three years older, so the age difference shouldn't be too big.
Han Qiuyun harboring such thoughts might be due to her admiration for Su Chen, her gratitude towards him for changing her future, or perhaps, because she's been single for too long and really needs a boyfriend.
"Su Chen, do you have a girlfriend?" Han Qiuyun asked somewhat nervously.
"No, I don't." Su Chen answered casually.
Getting Su Chen's response made Han Qiuyun feel a little thrill.
He didn't have a girlfriend, could that mean...
However, another issue troubled Han Qiuyun.
That was, she was already twenty-eight years old.
And Su Chen was at most twenty-five.
Would a three-year age difference be acceptable to Su Chen?
"So, how old are you?" she asked.
Su Chen, a bit puzzled why Han Qiuyun was asking all these, still honestly replied, "I'll be twenty-three in a few months."
Han Qiuyun's face subtly changed, and her body trembled slightly.
"Qiuyun, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Han Qiuyun hastily said, but the disappointment was uncontrollable in her eyes.
She had thought Su Chen was twenty-five.
A three-year age difference was somewhat acceptable.
After all, relationships with younger men were quite trendy these days.
But she had not expected Su Chen to be just twenty-two.
The saying goes, "A woman three years older may still hold a gold brick," but six years older...
Women naturally age faster than men.
A six-year gap may not seem much now.
But in five or six years, standing together, they might look like mother and son...
Six years, even if Su Chen could accept it, Han Qiuyun couldn't.
"I'm twenty-eight..." Han Qiuyun said feeling a bit dejected.
"Ah? Qiuyun, you're twenty-eight? Then I shouldn't call you Qiuyun, I should call you Sister Qiuyun," Su Chen said with a smile.
Seeing Su Chen's bright smile, Han Qiuyun's somewhat low spirits were surprisingly uplifted.
His smile seemed to have a powerful infectiousness.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.
If she couldn't be lovers with Su Chen.
Perhaps being siblings was still possible?
Sometimes, women are purer than men.
But for a woman, any intimate relationship would suffice.
Even if it's just as siblings...
With this thought, Han Qiuyun asked, "Little guy, would you like to be my little brother?"
Su Chen was stunned by her words; although since returning to the country, he had typically called women older than him "sister."
Still, this was the first time someone suggested being his elder sister.
