Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Smitten at First Sight (Part 5)

Yuk Jian scrolled through his phone and dialed a string of numbers.

The phone rang from the left, and Yuk Jian immediately grabbed a bottle of water, opened the car door, and walked in that direction.

On a somewhat worn-out bench, a girl sat quietly. Perhaps it was an unfamiliar number, she looked at it without answering, but just as she was about to pick up, Yuk Jian had already walked up to her.

The girl sensed someone approaching and looked up, her expression calm and her eyes peaceful, as if she wasn’t at all worried about whether the person was bad.

The man had taken off his white coat and was wearing loose, comfortable casual clothes. He stood tall and straight, with an air of authority.

He had also removed his mask, and the phone’s light faintly illuminated his features.

The man’s appearance was clear and handsome, with eyebrows and eyes distinctly outlined, and his deep pupils shone like embedded jewels with a cold gleam.

Those deep eyes looked at her with an air that wasn’t cold or indifferent, rather a feeling of... not caring.

A feeling of emptiness of everything.

Yuk Jian glanced at her, opened the water, and poured out some medicine: ”Take the medicine first.”

Chuzheng took the water and the medicine from his palm.

Her fingertips accidentally brushed against Yuk Jian’s palm, and as soon as she took it, he immediately pulled out a wet wipe to clean his hand.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng looked at him.

What’s the meaning of this?

Do you think I’m a virus?!

Perhaps Chuzheng’s gaze was too obvious, Yook explained briefly: ”It’s a habit, nothing to do with you.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Germaphobe, huh.

Chuzheng looked away and took the medicine.

After cleaning his hands, seeing that Chuzheng was alright and not making a fuss, Yuk Jian calmly asked her, ”What are you doing here alone? Didn’t I tell you not to leave the hospital?”

Chuzheng fell silent, then mumbled: ”I had something to do.” Catching someone cheating, exciting, isn’t it?!

[Exciting enough to almost make you relapse.] King’s Account chimed in.

”...”

”I’ve said before, I hope you take responsibility for your life.” Yuk Jian put his hands in his pockets, his tone indifferent and unhurried, without any hint of emotion: ”If you don’t cherish yourself, even the Great Luo Immortal can’t save you.”

Chuzheng: ”Today was an accident.”

This heart seems to have a mind of its own, what can I do?!

Chuzheng figured maybe it was this body’s instinctive reaction to seeing that scene.

Yuk Jian clearly wasn’t interested in hearing about any accidents. He opened his phone: ”I’ll call a car to take you back to the hospital.”

”Weren’t you driving?”

Yuk Jian paused and glanced at the girl sitting on the bench under the phone’s light.

The girl’s features were delicately drawn, as if sketched by an artist, not overly flamboyant but simply beautiful, with a feeling akin to a nation’s first love.

But at this moment, her face looked slightly pale, shrouded in a faint illness. Sitting in the night color, she seemed even more delicate.

Yuk Jian looked away and tapped his finger on the screen: ”I’m not accustomed to others riding in my car.”

”Oh.” Chuzheng stopped talking.

[Sister, aren’t you going to insist?] King’s Account found it hard to watch.

Why insist?

Isn’t it clear he doesn’t want to?

[...] King’s Account was at a loss for words for a moment: [Sister, you should read more books.]

Haven’t I read enough?

[Read more silly, sweet romance novels.] King’s Account sighed: [Do you need me to recommend a reading list?]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Am I sick or something!

The car Yuk Jian called arrived quickly, and he watched Chuzheng get in. He then called the nurse and instructed her to give Chuzheng an examination when she returned to ensure everything was okay and to call him back.

Standing on the sidewalk, Yuk Jian glanced around.

What’s she doing here so late at night?

The thought flashed by and disappeared.

What does it have to do with him?

If she wasn’t his patient, he wouldn’t even be here now.

Yuk Jian got in his car and left. After returning, he waited until the nurse called to confirm before turning off the lights and resting.

-

Back at the hospital, Chuzheng first saved the video she had taken, then asked the bastard to send her Yuk Jian’s information.

Since his student days, Yuk Jian belonged to the scholar god category, where others studying twenty-four hours a day still couldn’t match Yuk Jian’s eight hours of study.

Yuk Jian’s life seemed smooth and untroubled until an accident occurred—

Yuk Jian’s family had arranged a marriage for him, but he didn’t like the girl. She persistently pestered him, frequently visiting the hospital.

Unexpectedly, there was a patient at the hospital who also liked Yuk Jian and frequently ran into the girl harassing him, somehow developing a grudge, and one day took the opportunity to tie her up on the rooftop.

It was then everyone learned the patient also had a mental illness.

To save her, Yuk Jian’s hand was crippled.

He was a cardiac surgeon, and losing a hand meant he could no longer hold a scalpel.

For a time, Yuk Jian was despondent, and perhaps due to his state then, the girl who had been chasing him turned to someone else.

It’s hard to rekindle a hopeless person’s dreams, but destroying a genius is all too easy.

After that incident, Yuk Jian never returned to the hospital. He disappeared from the public eye, and the next time people heard of him was as a suspect in the news.

Alas.

Chuzheng sighed inside, feeling that Yuk Jian’s current state was somewhat off. His state... was as if he saw no one, caring for no one, with no other implication, just the literal meaning, as if he couldn’t see anyone.

But something still restrained him.

The doctor’s duty to save lives trapped him, making him perform his role as a doctor.

In theory, Yuk Jian’s family environment wasn’t particularly bad, but it was nowhere near enough to instill any evil in him.

Perhaps some evil is truly innate...

Chuzheng raised her hand to cover her eyes, and the dark instantly engulfed her.

Good Person Card...

The next day, Chuzheng was awakened by the nurse, who told her not to eat breakfast as there was an examination to be done.

Chuzheng recalled there were no scheduled exams for the next couple of days; it might have been arranged due to the previous night’s incident.

After all, this body was fragile, teetering between life and death at any inconvenience.

After completing the examination, when passing by Yuk Jian’s Office, Chuzheng noticed it was empty. The nurse saw her looking around and assumed she was looking for Yuk Jian, so she said voluntarily, ”Doctor Yuk has a surgery, he’s in the operating room.”

Chuzheng looked away: ”So early.”

Nurse: ”Yes, a patient was brought in before dawn. Originally, it was supposed to be Doctor Hou’s patient, but he’s on a business trip, so they called Doctor Yuk.”

”When will it be over?”

The nurse shook her head: ”It’s hard to say.”

No one can guarantee anything on the operating table.

”Let’s head back for now.” The nurse changed the topic: ”Do you want breakfast? I can get something for you from the cafeteria.”

Chuzheng stayed in a VIP ward, naturally receiving different services.
