Mrs. Wen immediately filled a thermos with soup and said goodbye to Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan held the thermos of soup, lowered the brim of her hat, and walked into the hospital.
The hospital was packed with people, so no one noticed Gu Huanhuan. She took the elevator and went to the staff lounge near Wen Chiâs office.
She didnât tell him that she was bringing him soup.
Gu Huanhuan wondered what kind of expression Wen Chi would have when he saw her⦠She was looking forward to it.
As the lounge wasnât locked, she walked in.
Not long after, Gu Huanhuan heard footsteps from the corridor outside. She suddenly felt a little nervous, but also a little excited.
No one came in after a long time. Gu Huanhuan was puzzled. Wasnât that Wen Chi?
So, she got up from the sofa and went to the door to check.
She heard voices as she neared the door.
âWen Chi, this is a very rare opportunity. How can you just give it up? Do you know how high the expectations the medical director and the other senior staff at the hospital have on you?â
It was a woman who spoke. As she was quite excited, her tone was shrill.
âYu Li, stop dwelling on this. Iâve already gone on many study trips and I want to give this spot to someone else.â Wen Chi said gently.
âDo you know what youâre saying? Itâs different this time, Wen Chi.â The woman who spoke was still very excited.
âYu Li, thatâs enough. You should seize this opportunity.â Wen Chi obviously did not want to continue the conversation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Huanhuan could more or less make out their conversation. The hospital gave out spots for an overseas study trip to Wen Chi and this doctor named Yu Li. But Wen Chi didnât want to go and wanted to give his spot to someone else.
Yu Li was exasperated by Wen Chiâs stubbornness. She thought that going on the same study trip would bring her closer to Wen Chi, but who knew Wen Chi had such thoughts?
âWhy? Itâs such a good opportunity.â Yu Li muttered to herself. âIs it because you have a girlfriend and you canât bear to part with her?â
Yu Li suddenly thought of this possibility because he had mentioned a girlfriend before.
Wen Chi finally lost his patience and said in a harsh tone, âThis is my business. Itâs getting late. Why donât you go to lunch. Excuse me.â
With that, Wen Chi turned around and opened the door to the lounge.
Before Gu Huanhuan could fully digest their conversation, Wen Chi had already pushed the door open and walked in.
âYouâ¦â Obviously, Wen Chi was shocked to see Gu Huanhuan, but he quickly came around.
He closed the door behind him and said, âWhy are you here?â
âAuntie invited me home to have lunch with her today, so I brought you some soup.â Gu Huanhuan opened her eyes wide and said gently.
Wen Chi only noticed her appearance now. She didnât have any makeup on, but her face was soft and bouncy like a newborn babyâs butt. Her facial features were bright and beautiful. She was wearing a T-shirt and ripped jeans, but she looked very fashionable in them.
Wen Chi walked up to her, held her hand and led her to the sofa.
âYou sit down first. Iâll get you some soup.â Gu Huanhuan hadnât forgotten her mission.
âThereâs no hurry. Come and sit down first. I have something to discuss with you.â Wen Chi pulled her back.
âWhat is it?â Gu Huanhuan could guess what he was about to say.
âThe hospital has secured a spot for me to go on an overseas study tripâ¦â Wen Chi let his sentence hang and glanced at Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan was stunned. It was an overseas trip. âThatâs a good thing. It proves that they value you. How long will you be gone?â
âAbout half a year. I plan to decline.â Wen Chi said.
âWhy decline such a good opportunity? Itâs something many people want but couldnât get.â Gu Huanhuan replied truthfully.
