Qiao Ran knew that he only had friendship for him, not romantic feelings, and he had always been aware of this.
So before confessing, he had prepared himself for Qiao Ran's rejection, and with this thought, his heart didn't ache as much.
Gu Sinian quickly adjusted his mindset, looking at her tenderly, "The competition is important for you, just let me know if you need any help. For years, those doctors internationally have looked down upon Beihong Country's medical skills. It's up to you to restore Beihong Country's reputation and slap the faces of those who look down on our medical skills."
"Gu, don't hold such high hopes for me. The world's elite doctors are all gathering, it's a brilliant assembly of talent. I can only say I will do my best. It's getting late; you should head home now, Gu."
With each call of 'Gu', Gu Sinian knew it was Qiao Ran's way of rejecting him.
"Just do your best, call me if you need anything!"
