Chapter 31

J City.

A certain military district compound.

Tang Siyun listened to the excited voice of her good friend on the other end of the phone, her eyebrows furrowed lightly as she sighed: “What’s the use of our opinion? You know that brat, if he’s willing to get married, could he have dragged it out until he’s 28 years old?”

Dean He, however, didn’t agree. “That’s because Xie Zhen hasn’t met the right one. I guarantee you, this girl I’m talking about, he’ll like her. Let me tell you, if it weren’t for my son getting married, I wouldn’t be this willing to introduce her to your brat.”

“Is she really that good?”

“She’s absolutely amazing. This girl just turned 20, and she already graduated from graduate school! She skipped several grades and graduated as first in the entire grade. Not only that, she’s also stunningly beautiful. I’ve been living in this world for quite some time, but I’ve never seen a girl as beautiful as her, even more beautiful than you when you were younger. And her family background is also excellent, both her parents are martyrs. Her father was even promoted to the rank of deputy division commander when he passed away. Maybe Old Xie still knows him. Moreover, she has two older brothers, the eldest is also a doctor at our hospital, remember the one I mentioned earlier, seems like Pan An. What’s even more remarkable is that this girl’s second brother is the company commander under Xie Zhen, they have a good relationship. Isn’t it a coincidence?” As Dean He rattled on, she became even more convinced as she spoke.

On the other end of the phone, Siyun also felt moved by what she heard. It wasn’t that there hadn’t been good prospects for the past few years.

In their Xie and Tang families’ current situation, there were plenty of young girls who wanted to marry their sons.

But those girls, let alone their son—even she herself wasn’t very satisfied with them.

It’s not that she’s unreasonable or can’t stand having a daughter-in-law do it. She just feels that if she, herself doesn’t even like those women for her son, then, what’s the point of forcing her son to marry one of his blind dates?

Tang Siyun boasted that she and Old Xie were both open-minded. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed their son to delay to this age and let it go on.

She and Xie Zhen’s father have had a loving relationship all their lives, so naturally, she hopes her son can have a happy marriage too.

But marriage is sometimes something that requires initiative. Now that such a good girl is already in the same place as her son and her friend has praised her so highly, it would be a pity to give up.

If you ask her why she doesn’t doubt whether Dean He is exaggerating, she’d scoff at you. That woman has even higher standards for judging people than she does.

This girl must be one of the best girls around. Otherwise… Should she take a trip to see her when she’s free?

In between the fingers, the gap is wide; time, however, is slender. In the blink of an eye, we’ve entered August.

Su Xi didn’t know what happened in the Dean’s office. Thanks to her identity as Su Dong’s sister, she received friendly treatment from all the women in the hospital, skipping the awkward stage of being a newcomer, and now it can be said that she had a great start to her career.

On this day, Su Xi had just come out of the operating room with Su Dong, and she saw Xi Yannan waiting not far away.

A smile spread across Su Xi’s face. Although she knew Brother Nannan mainly came to find her Big Brother, it didn’t stop her joy at seeing her relatives after half a year.

Su Dong, on the other hand, calmly glanced at Xi Yannan, then refocused his attention on his patient.

After instructing the patient’s family and nurses on matters needing attention, the siblings turned and walked towards Xi Yannan.

“Brother, when did you come back?” Su Xi asked as she took off the disposable medical gloves from her hands, looking at Xi Yannan, who had become even darker.

Xi Yannan patted Su Xi’s head with his hand and smiled, “Not bad, our Xixi has become a doctor, I came back at noon and thought I’d come to pick you up after work.”

Su Xi smirked inwardly. Who didn’t know who you wanted to pick up? But she couldn’t say that outside, and she didn’t want to be a third wheel, so she said, “You go back with Big Brother first, I need to finish writing up the surgery report, and I’ll need to observe the patient’s postoperative condition later.”

On Hong Jun Island, where there were mostly soldiers, in such a large army, there couldn’t be any danger. So Su Dong and Xi Yannan didn’t insist on staying to wait for Su Xixi.

Moreover, with her sister’s skills, if something really happened, it would be unlucky for whoever had malicious intentions.

So a few minutes later, Su Dong and Xi Yannan bid farewell to Su Xi, who was still finishing up and went home together.

Su Xi watched her two brothers walk side by side from afar. It was now 5:30 in the afternoon.

The setting sun was just right, casting a rich crimson color through the window onto their figures, adding a touch of warmth to them for no reason.

Suddenly, for some reason, Xi Yannan said something, and Su Dong turned to look at him, then smiled gently.

Only after they disappeared from view did Su Xi lower her head and smile faintly.

How nice!

There was a lot of rain on the island. It had rained heavily before work in the morning, so Su Xi thought there wouldn’t be any more rain today and naturally didn’t bring an umbrella.

After finishing her report, she looked up at the sky outside. It was covered with dark clouds, so there would definitely be heavy rain.

Su Xi didn’t dare to delay, so after checking on the patient’s condition in the ward, she prepared to leave work.

“Dr. Su Xi, are you off work now?” A passing nurse greeted Su Xi, who was walking hurriedly.

Su Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, “Yeah! See you tomorrow!”

“Dr. Su Xi, see you tomorrow!”

When Su Xi first arrived, in order to distinguish between the two siblings who are called Doctor Su, the Dean suggested calling Su Dong “Doctor Su” and Su Xi “Little Doctor Su.”

It was only after Su Xi strongly rejected it that they started calling her by her name.

Just as she hurried all the way to the hospital gate, her footsteps involuntarily stopped, and an unexpected person appeared in front of her.

Not far from the hospital gate, a man in a 1965-style military uniform stood upright. When he saw Su Xi, he strode toward her.

“Long time, no see!” Su Xi shouted as she looked at the man steadily, guessing that he had come to find her. So, Su Xixi greeted him with a smile.

Xie Zhen’s black eyes were as deep as ink ponds, hiding thoughts that only he knew. He looked down at the young girl’s beautiful face and spoke in a low, deep voice, “Long time, no see.”

The man was too tall, and Su Xi looked up uncertainly and asked, “Are you injured? Is that the reason why you are here at the hospital…?”

‘Or are you here to find me?’ Su Xi was too embarrassed to ask this question, feeling a bit thick-skinned.

Xie Zhen’s large hand hanging on his side tightened tightly. It’s not appropriate to say that he came to see Su Xi after hearing from Xi Yannan that she had come to the military hospital, so he found an excuse, “Dean He is my mom’s friend, I came to see her.”

Su Xi felt embarrassed; I thought he was here to find me.

She cleared her throat and pointed to the sky, wanting to leave quickly, otherwise, the blush rising on her face would be hard to hide. “Then, since you’re busy, I’ll go back first, it looks like it’s going to rain soon.”

Xie Zhen hurriedly handed her the umbrella in his hand.

Su Xi waved her hand. “No need, no need, I’ll be back soon. You keep it for yourself.”

Xie Zhen, not being very articulate, directly handed the umbrella to Su Xi and then uncomfortably pushed down the brim of his hat, afraid that the girl would still refuse. He said anxiously, “I’ll leave first.”

But just as he took a few steps, when he brushed past Su Xi, he finally asked the question he had been pondering for a long time: “Tomorrow, are you free tomorrow?”

Upon hearing these words, Su Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She turned her head to look at the man, and as their eyes met, she caught a glimpse of the urgency and uncertainty swirling in his dark eyes.

Suddenly, Su Xi realized that her intuition was right. This man had feelings for her.

So what about her?

Thinking back over the past year, this man occasionally appeared in her mind.

Thinking about the joy of just seeing him, Su Xi had to admit that she also had feelings for this man.

This was the first time in two lifetimes that she liked someone. It would be a pity to refuse him.

With this in mind, in the expectant eyes of the man, Su Xi nodded shyly. “I’m free!”

Tomorrow happens to be her day off!

In Xie Zhen’s black eyes, there seemed to be something ignited, shining brightly. The surprise came too quickly, and he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with joy. The corners of his thin lips curled into a faint arc. “Then tomorrow morning at 7, I’ll come pick you up.”

Su Xi didn’t ask what they were going to do. At this moment, she just did what felt right to her. “Okay!”

The young girl smiled sweetly, her porcelain-white and smooth face looking delicate and charming.

At this moment, Xie Zhen felt his heart boiling, eagerly looking forward to tomorrow!
