People were always willing to be more tolerant of beautiful things. Therefore, even though Yang Xi’s professional level was slightly inferior to the doctors of the same batch, it did not affect her ability to survive in the neurosurgery department.

Whenever there were any improvements worth mentioning, Yang Xi would always lower her head and hide her smile. She would softly say, “It’s all thanks to Director Cheng’s good teaching.”

As time passed, more and more people in the department wanted to match them together.

However, Cheng Zheng never talked about personal matters during work hours. If he had a lunch break, he would stay in Jiang Lan’s ward.

Jiang Lan’s wardmate had recently left the hospital, so the place was temporarily spacious.

Yang Xi held the disinfectant tray and stood at the door of Jiang Lan’s ward for a long time.

When would she be able to listen to Cheng Zheng speak softly like he did to Fang Yan? When would she be able to lose her temper without any worry and complain?

She was clearly the one who grew up with Cheng Zheng!

Doctor Xiao Song walked over. “Yang Xi? Why are you in a daze here?”

Yang Xi came back to her senses and revealed her trademark sweet smile. “Hello, Senior Brother Little Song. I saw that there were not enough people at the nurses’ station, so I helped to change the dressing of a few anxious patients.”

Doctor Xiao Song: “You’re such a nice person. No wonder everyone likes you.”

“But Sister Fang Yan…” Yang Xi looked aggrieved and unwilling to say more. “She relied on her good relationship with Brother Cheng Zheng and won’t let me look for him. I went overseas to study and haven’t seen Brother Cheng Zheng for a few years. I’ve been back for so long this time, but I haven’t had a meal with him.”

“How can that be? Yang Xi, you’re thinking too much.”

Yang Xi: “Yes, maybe, but my brother and Brother Cheng Zheng grew up together. He has never seen Brother Cheng Zheng bring girls out to play. It can be seen that Sister Fang Yan and Brother Cheng Zheng’s relationship is not that close. What do you think?”

Seeing that her words were effective, Yang Xi waved her hand. “Aiya, I’m just a little angry and spouting nonsense. Senior, I’ve prepared lunch for Brother Cheng Zheng. It’s all his favorite food. I’m afraid that he won’t have time to pay attention to his diet. Can you help me send it in?”

“This… isn’t good, right?” Xiao Song hesitated.

“Just say that you gave it to her. Don’t mention me. Otherwise, Sister Fang Yan will be angry with me again.”

Xiao Song had a good impression of Yang Xi to begin with. When he thought of this goddess swallowing her anger without Cheng Zheng knowing, Xiao Song’s heart softened.

Yang Xi handed the work in her hands to the nurse and turned back to eavesdrop outside Jiang Lan’s ward.

In the ward, Fang Yan looked at the same type of food box that had appeared in Cheng Zheng’s office and asked, “What is this?”

Outside the door, Yang Xi smiled proudly. The more she refused to let people mention her name, the more their hearts ached. In the end, everyone would know that she was the one who cared about Cheng Zheng the most.

However, Yang Xi did not expect Senior Brother Little Song’s brain to be so straightforward.

Doctor Xiao Song opened it and said, “Ah, I brought lunch for Master. I went out for Japanese food at noon and bought it on the way.”

“Mm, it looks good.” Fang Yan said.

Cheng Zheng looked up at the Japanese food delivery and then at Fang Yan. “You like it? Then eat that.”

After saying that, he moved Fang Yan’s unfinished boiled fish and rice to his side and gestured for Xiao Song to give the Japanese food to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan looked at the sumptuous food box in front of him and sighed. It was really rare to eat Japanese food without fish.

Fang Yan picked up a fried prawn and bit into it. “It tastes authentic too. Cheng Zheng, you’re quite popular.”

Cheng Zheng smiled.

“Of course. My master has many friends.” Xiao Song recalled what Yang Xi said and probed, “Sister Fang Yan, do you know Yang Chen? He lived in Japan for two years and is especially good at Japanese food.”

Fang Yan became interested and looked at Cheng Zheng. “Yang Chen? Your friend?”

Cheng Zheng replied calmly, “No.”

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Song. “Have you eaten?”

Cheng Zheng’s two sentences did not have any change in tone, but Xiao Song inexplicably became nervous. However, he thought that Fang Yan really did not know Yang Chen. Did this mean that what Yang Xi said was true?

Doctor Xiao Song: “Not really. Yang Xi told me when I was talking with her.”

Yang Xi turned around and left angrily.

What a lousy teammate! He didn’t say anything he should and couldn’t shut up about the things he shouldn’t!

Cheng Zheng helped Jiang Lan adjust her blanket. It was the old woman’s lunch break, and she was sleeping soundly.

Then, Cheng Zheng looked straight at Xiao Song and asked lightly, “What else did she say?”
