Bai Xi hung up the phone and went to the hotel lobby to book another room.
Just as she reached the hotel entrance, she saw Chen Yi.
Chen Yi was entering with another man, holding two plastic bags. Seeing Bai Xi, a surprised smile lit up his face: "Eldest Miss!"
This was the eldest miss of the Bai family.
But now... she was actually recommended by Miss Bai to go to the Haidao City Defense Force today to see patients.
That was a golden job, and the salary and rewards would be several times higher.
Bai Xi said lightly, "It's not necessary at the moment."
The Haidao City Defense Force was managed by Shangguan Wen. She had no way of knowing what kind of people he needed or didn't need.
However, if she were to speak up, Shangguan Wen would certainly not refuse. There was no reason for her to force someone upon him.
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Yi's eyes: "Is that so?"
But the disappointment disappeared quickly, and he put on a smiling face again: "It's okay, if you don't need it, then forget it. Eldest Miss, this is for you. This jackfruit was my choice. Seeing how they were all breaking them open, I didn't say anything, but none of the jackfruits in that cart were as good as the one I picked."
Tsk tsk tsk, He Mu's looks were enough to latch onto the Bai family's eldest miss. He was envious, but... alas, he wasn't as good-looking as He Mu. Forget it, forget it, some things couldn't be envied, so it was better to be more optimistic.
After speaking, he handed over one of the bags he was holding.
Bai Xi looked at the bag in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and took it: "Thank you."
Seeing that Bai Xi had accepted the fruit he gave her, Chen Yi's smile became even more pronounced: "Then Eldest Miss, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back now."
Bai Xi hesitated, then asked, "Has Doctor He always been at the Central Hospital?"
Chen Yi didn't know why Bai Xi asked, but he still answered honestly: "Yes, in fact, he and I were in the same batch of intern doctors. Ever since we started our internships, he has been at the Central Hospital, just in different departments."
Bai Xi, upon hearing the affirmative answer, said again, "But I heard him say he went to a drug laboratory before..."
Chen Yi suddenly realized: "Oh, right, I almost forgot about it when you didn't mention it. He did go to a drug laboratory, but that laboratory also had a cooperative relationship with our Central Hospital. He only went for about a month, so I understood it as him never leaving the Central Hospital. Miss Bai, you really know him well."
There was a hint of teasing in his words.
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows, ignoring the joking smile.
However, what he said suddenly made the man standing next to Chen Yi realize something. With a simple and honest face, he said with a hint of teasing: "Speaking of which, when He Mu was chosen to go to the laboratory, he complained to us and cried, saying he was unlucky. But after he returned, he said it was very much worth the trip."
Chen Yi laughed along with the person next to him: "Yes, yes, and from then on, he seemed like a different person sometimes. He became more generous, stopped joking as much, and most importantly... his medical skills seemed to have improved a lot. We even said that the laboratory was really amazing, and when could we also go for further studies?"
Bai Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and she directly reached out and grabbed Chen Yi's shoulder: "When did this happen?"
Chen Yi winced in pain: "D-Eldest Miss..."
Seeing how slender and delicate the Bai family's eldest miss was, how could her grip be so strong... He felt like his shoulder was going to be crushed.
Bai Xi came back to her senses and let go: "Sorry."
The pain disappeared, and Chen Yi recovered, sweat still on his forehead: "I-I'm fine..."
He really suspected his bones were crushed, but there was no evidence... wuwuwu.
Bai Xi looked at him, reached out, and pressed her forehead: "I was just overly excited. Are you alright? If you're worried, I can send you to the hospital for a check-up. I'll cover the medical fees and nutrition fees."
Chen Yi finally recovered and gently moved his shoulder, confirming he was fine: "You're too kind, Eldest Miss. I'm really fine. After all, I'm a grown man, how could I be injured by you, haha."
Although he was still in pain, his masculine pride absolutely forbade him from admitting it.
"Doctor He is so lucky that Eldest Miss cares about him so much. Actually, it wasn't that long ago, maybe only about a month ago."
After speaking, he looked at the other doctor beside him.
That doctor also nodded: "Counting the time, it's about right."
Bai Xi's brows furrowed.
A month ago was the day of her wedding with Han Mo.
"You said he changed a lot? What specific changes?"
Chen Yi thought for a moment and then looked at his companion: "He became more generous, and less afraid of pain..."
The person next to him said: "I think he became better at pretending!"
Chen Yi laughed heartily upon hearing this: "You described it so vividly! Although he used to laugh a lot, I always felt that his smile now seems unfathomable, making me uncomfortable all over! And his hair. As a doctor, he used to be very careless about it, often going over a week without washing it, his hair looking greasy, and he was even complained about, hahaha."
The person next to him quickly nodded: "Yes, and that pair of glasses! He used to wear black frames, but after he returned, he switched to metal-rimmed glasses. Do you remember what I said to him at the time?"
Chen Yi and the doctor exchanged a knowing smile, their faces full of good-natured teasing, and they pointed at each other in unison: "Scum in disguise!"
