Although we had that incident the other night, when I sent her WeChat messages over the past two days to try and establish a relationship, she didn't express her opinion—even seemed a little aloof.

During the day, when I went to the nurse's station to find her, she was just like before, joking around, and sometimes told me dirty jokes, seemingly unintentionally.

I began to feel maybe it was because I hadn't made my feelings clear, so I confessed to her.

She neither agreed nor refused.

This attitude made my heart feel a bit uncomfortable. Clearly, we'd already done that sort of thing, and she said she liked me, so why was she acting like this now?

Maybe she was just playing with me and didn't really like me at all.

That day, I had another night shift. After handling a patient's sudden drop in blood sugar at half past one, I planned to go back to the on-call room to sleep. Just as I reached the elevator, I heard someone calling me.

"Brother Lei."

I turned around and saw Zhao Xiaoyu. She was standing at the stairwell nearby.

"What's wrong?" I said with a bit of annoyance in my voice. Honestly, even though I had gained an advantage, I always felt like my feelings were being toyed with by her.

"Come over here, Brother Lei."

After I walked over, Zhao Xiaoyu grabbed my arm.

"Brother Lei, I know you're mad at me, but you know too, Vice Director Sun has always liked me, and if he finds out about us, your internship won't get a stamp."

After Vice Director Sun's divorce, he liked to harass young doctors and nurses in the hospital, especially Zhao Xiaoyu, which I was also aware of.

I hadn't expected she was ignoring me for my own good.

At this moment, I was extremely moved and pulled her into my arms, kissing her.

"Brother Lei, no matter what, it's still my fault, tonight I'll make it up to you."

Make it up?

Instantly, her graceful figure from last time flashed through my mind.
