Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

”Just a guess.” Qin Jian lazily spat out a sentence.

”Commander, your guess is so accurate!” Tan Xiaomei seized the chance to flatter.

”Your dodgy eyes and anxious face made it clear. Only Yan Huan couldn’t see it.” Qin Jian said.

”Since even you can’t see it, won’t you help Dr. Ji and Sister Yan? Surely, you can’t just watch them being awkward, right?”

”Not my problem!” Qin Jian refused decisively.

”Huh?” Tan Xiaomei thought Qin Jian wouldn’t just stand by, and she was surprised he refused, leaving her genuinely puzzled.

”Ji Chuan needs to learn some lessons...” Qin Jian left this remark, turned around, and walked away, leaving Tan Xiaomei behind.

.....................

The surgery was over, and Commander Qiu was wheeled out.

Qiu Xinyi rushed over, seeing her father’s pale face, and her eyes reddened, almost shedding tears.

”Dad... Dad... Open your eyes and look at me.”

Ji Chuan removed his mask and said to Qiu Xinyi, ”The commander is still under anesthesia, so he hasn’t woken up yet. He won’t be able to speak for six hours post-surgery. Let my assistant Dr. Lei explain the rest to you.”

”Hey... Ji Chuan! Ji Chuan!” Qiu Xinyi hurriedly called out, only to be met with a cold shoulder.

Ji Chuan returned to his office and immediately saw a breakfast on the table, with a variety that clearly showed some thoughtfulness.

However, seeing this breakfast didn’t excite Ji Chuan at all, which meant someone had entered his office again.

He pushed the door open and walked straight to the nurse’s station to inquire, ”Who came into my office this morning?”

”Who?” The question stumped the nurse, ”Many people came looking for you this morning...”

”Who walked in carrying breakfast?” Ji Chuan asked with a stern face.

”Oh. The commander’s daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chuan turned and walked back, placing the breakfast and clothes prominently on the table, waiting for Qiu Xinyi to return again.

Since she’s interested in him, isn’t all this fuss just about getting close? Previously, he considered her relationship with Yan Huan, and being the commander’s daughter, as long as she wasn’t too inappropriate, he wouldn’t say anything too harsh.

It seems his silence only fueled Qiu Xinyi’s audacity.

As expected, after settling her father, Qiu Xinyi came back to see Ji Chuan, the issue with the clothes still unresolved, she needed to test the waters.

”Come in!” Ji Chuan heard the knock and called her in.

Qiu Xinyi smiled as she pushed the door open, continually thanking Ji Chuan as she walked, ”Thank you! My father’s surgery succeeded thanks to you.”

”No need to thank me. It’s my duty as a doctor!” Ji Chuan’s expression was cool as he pushed the items on the table towards Qiu Xinyi, seriously saying, ”Please take these things back, and don’t send anything again.”

”Wh... Why?” Qiu Xinyi’s heart trembled, her eyes showing anger, her pride severely wounded, ”Ji Chuan, why are you so indifferent to me? I simply wanted to thank you, what’s wrong with sending clothes and breakfast?”

”My fiancée is unhappy! Plus, I don’t want any entanglements with any woman other than my fiancée! Did you understand me?” Ji Chuan articulated each word clearly.
