After the three of them finished eating, they went back to the hospital together. After a short rest, they would get ready for the afternoon’s work. During the break, Xiao Li found a spot to video call Qin Xiao. It’s different now, not like when we were in school, where we often couldn’t eat together. On the video call, Qin Xiao was eating. Xiao Li asked curiously, "Uncle, why are you eating so late?" Qin Xiao smiled and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "I was just waiting for some data, so it got delayed. Nini, was it tiring at the clinic this morning?" Xiao Li shook her head, "There were many patients, but it wasn’t that tiring. Uncle, when I’m not around, you don’t eat on time. That’s not good!" Qin Xiao nodded, "It won’t happen again!" Xiao Li snorted lightly, not believing it. When Qin Xiao gets busy with lab work, he often skips meals. It was only when she was in school and they ate together that he was regular with his meals. Now that she’s not in school, his meal time has shifted to this late. Xiao Li thought it was more practical to give him a call tomorrow at meal time as a reminder, rather than trusting his promise. Shao Yu came out of the break room and saw Xiao Li hiding in the corner chatting. Judging by her expression, she knew she was talking with Professor Qin. Xiao Li noticed Shao Yu coming out and knew it was time to work, so she said a word to Qin Xiao and hung up the video call. Shao Yu chuckled, "Really envy you! Being loved every day must feel great!" Xiao Li smiled, "Haven’t you managed to win Chen Wei over yet?" Shao Yu shook her head, "I can’t get him, and I don’t plan to anymore!" Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, "You’re planning to give up?" Shao Yu nodded, "Yeah, what else can I do if I don’t give up? After all these years, he’s always rejected me. I know we’re not suitable!" Xiao Li, "And you just figured out that you two aren’t suitable?" Li Wei’s personality is somewhat traditional, while Shao Yu is forward and bold. They really don’t match! Shao Yu smiled bitterly, "I’ve known for a while, but I just hadn’t given up yet. This time he went home to get engaged. Even if I’m not willing to give up, I have to. I won’t be the third party ruining someone else’s relationship!" Xiao Li was surprised, "Chen Wei is getting engaged? Since when did he have a girlfriend? How did you know?" Shao Yu gave a helpless laugh, "Wasn’t I paying special attention to him before! Last month he went home and his mom set him up on a blind date. He liked the girl, so this time he went back to get engaged! Before he left, he came to tell me specifically because he didn’t want me clinging to him anymore and making his fiancée uncomfortable! Pfft... After all this time, he still doesn’t understand me at all. Am I really that clingy? I pursued him persistently before because we were both single. Now that he’s got someone, how could I possibly cling to him? I won’t do anything so undignified!" After saying this, Shao Yu noticed Xiao Li looking at her as if she didn’t recognize her, "Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Li chuckled, "You don’t look like someone who pursued Chen Wei for many years. I thought you’d be really upset knowing he’s engaged, but I’m surprised you’re so okay with it!" Shao Yu sighed, "A few years ago when I first fell for Chen Wei, if I’d known he had someone, I probably would’ve gone crazy. But over the years, that passion has been worn away bit by bit, and now it’s just gone! Continuing to pursue him this last couple of years was probably just a habit. Now that I know he’s with someone, I actually feel a sense of relief. Of course, there’s sadness, but after being hurt by him so many times, this time’s sadness isn’t as bad as before when he rejected me." Xiao Li nodded, "It’s good you’re relieved. Without Chen Wei, you can look for other quality men!" Shao Yu nodded vigorously, "Exactly! Grandma here used to have a whole bunch of admirers!" Xiao Li smiled, "Yes, let’s go find the teacher, Grandma!" As they turned around, they saw Professor Chen standing behind them, listening with great interest. The two were startled. Xiao Li accused, "Teacher, were you eavesdropping?" Professor Chen looked around, "Isn’t this a public place? You’re chatting in a public space, so if I hear it, it’s not eavesdropping, is it? Besides, as a teacher, it’s my duty to care about my students’ personal lives! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥 Shao Yu, there are a few single seniors, do you want me to introduce you?" This student, aside from being a bit of a romantic, is pretty good in other aspects! Now that she’s finally moved on from Chen Wei, Professor Chen really wanted to introduce her to someone! Shao Yu quickly waved her hand, "No need to bother, Teacher!" As for seniors, she couldn’t handle them! Xiao Li, off to the side, couldn’t hold back and giggled softly! Professor Chen turned to Xiao Li, "What’s so funny?" Xiao Li waved her hand, "Nothing, Teacher!" Professor Chen squinted, "You think I’ll believe that? Out with it!" Xiao Li helplessly, "Teacher, I was laughing about what you said about the seniors!" Professor Chen looked puzzled, "What’s with your seniors?" Xiao Li cleared her throat, "Teacher, those seniors of mine have a nickname outside, ’eternal bachelors’! There’s a rumor out there that women, in the eyes of the seniors, are no different from specimens in the dissection room!" Shao Yu, standing beside, couldn’t stop laughing! Professor Chen looked at Xiao Li in confusion, "Why do they say that?" Xiao Li, holding back her laughter, said, "There was a girl who confessed to Senior Gu. After staring at her for a while, Senior Gu pointed out all sorts of potential health issues and suggested checkups! Another time, a girl confessed to Senior Fang, and he, right in front of her, discussed her bone structure and where her organs might be having troubles with Senior Gu! Over time, the rumor spread that the seniors, when they look at people, see them as specimens for study!" By the end, Xiao Li couldn’t hold back any longer! She knew that Senior Gu and Senior Fang were deliberately scaring off girls, just didn’t want women around, but honestly, discussing which organ isn’t right in front of the girl? That tactic is truly ruthless! Professor Chen’s face darkened hearing all this! What have these kids been up to? No wonder these guys are all good-looking and competent, yet they have no women chasing them. Turns out this was the reason! As their teacher, even with the smallest hint, Professor Chen understood what they were up to! They just find women troublesome and are deliberately scaring them away! But they’re not youngsters anymore; do they really plan to stay bachelors their whole lives? Professor Chen, steamed, turned and said, "Ward rounds!" Xiao Li and Shao Yu quickly followed! Shao Yu whispered to Xiao Li, "Do you think the teacher will give the seniors a good scolding?" Xiao Li nodded, "100% he will!"
