Chapter 318 Huge Misunderstanding
Chu Xiao originally intended to take Hua Lan back to school to rest, but he ended up bringing Hua Lan back with him, along with all her personal belongings.
Chu Xiao helped put Hua Lan's things back in their place.
By the time everything was finished, it was already past 10 p.m.
"I have to go to my internship tomorrow, so I should take a shower and go to bed early."
"It's OK now."
Hua Lan was overjoyed to no longer have to face the quiet, lonely dormitory alone, and her tone of voice was light and cheerful.
"Also, after 9 p.m., we will not disturb each other. If there is anything, we will contact each other via WeChat. Most importantly, you must be properly dressed at home. You cannot wear tank tops or bottoms that do not go above the knee outside the room."
Chu Xiao laid down three rules to prevent any major conflict from arising.
Of course, he is also strict with himself.
After all, Hua Lan is still a student; we'll talk about it after she graduates.
Having been intimidated by Chu Xiao in the entryway, Hua Lan was very obedient, nodding vigorously, "I will remember it and put it into action."
Chu Xiao was amused by her and said with a smile, "Dismissed."
"Yes." Hua Lan turned and went back to her room.
The cozy room has everything you need, and the conditions are dozens of times better than the school dormitory.
Most importantly, her room has its own bathroom.
It's very convenient that you can wash up, shower, and use the toilet without leaving the room.
"Hmph! It was clearly a room prepared for me, but it's supposed to be my daughter's room. You're lying to me."
Hua Lan was taking a comfortable hot bath.
With such great conditions, it would be a real shame not to read a book before bed tonight.
But I'm just too tired today, and Shu fell asleep in bed with Hualan.
Chu Xiao was busy in his study until after 1 a.m. before he went to sleep. Thinking of Hua Lan sleeping in the next room, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up again.
The next morning, Hua Lan was awakened by the aroma of fried eggs.
Hua Lan groggily opened her eyes, looked at the book beside her, and scratched her long hair in frustration.
I'm amazed at myself; I can even fall asleep while reading.
Isn't this what the book says: you only look like you're working hard?
"Sigh..." Hua Lan sighed, "Don't make promises you can't keep next time."
It's already 6:43, I need to hurry.
After quickly washing up, Hua Lan dressed herself neatly and came out.
"Good morning."
Chu Xiao glanced at her; she had come out, but her eyes were still closed, clearly indicating she hadn't had enough sleep.
Chu Xiao had no choice but to give her some tasks to do in order to bring her back to her senses.
Take the milk out of the refrigerator, pour it into a cup, and microwave it for 1 minute.
After he finished speaking, he never took his eyes off Hua Lan, afraid that she might make a mistake and hurt herself.
Although he wasn't fully awake, he was still quite diligent in his work.
It must be really hard on her to get up so early every day to catch the subway to the hospital.
Hua Lan obediently did as she was told, but no one could tell how much concern Chu Xiao had for her beneath his indifferent expression.
Chu Xiao put the fried eggs on a plate, and breakfast was almost ready.
There were fruits, nuts, corn, and fried eggs on the table.
Hua Lan was stunned. "You've prepared way too much."
"Breakfast is important; you need protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and healthy fats."
Hua Lan didn't dare to argue. Having something to eat was a blessing, so she shut up and ate.
That's what the dietary guidelines say, but she's unwilling to sacrifice sleep just to have a good breakfast.
but……
Hua Lan smiled happily, her gaze fixed on Chu Xiao opposite her.
With Chu Xiao around, she's sure she can have a good breakfast with him.
Upon closer inspection, Hua Lan noticed that Chu Xiao was sitting upright and eating quietly.
He remained taciturn, but his expression was composed, and he had become much gentler.
Chu Xiao knew that Hua Lan was watching him. Hua Lan's mind was full of little dramas every day, so he just let her watch.
"When you come to work today, remember to check your teachers' schedule and find a suitable time."
"I know." Hua Lan, cheerful and smiling, replied, and Chu Xiao was also in a good mood.
After quickly getting ready, the two went out together.
One person went to the underground parking lot to drive to work, while the other took the subway from the side gate of the residential area to the hospital.
A simple, ordinary morning led to decades of mutual support and companionship.
Hua Lan lives at Chu Xiao's house, and her daily commute time has been reduced by a total of forty minutes.
Seeing that there's not much time left has a huge impact on a person's mood.
Hua Lan arrived earlier than usual, and after changing into her work clothes, she could only stand in the office in a daze.
Dr. Yang, who was on duty, was still writing her handover log at her desk, but her intern, Zhu Rui, was nowhere to be found.
"Zhu Rui, give me the medical records of the new patients we received last night."
Hua Lan looked around the office; there was no one else there.
She glanced at the bed assignments on the whiteboard, then took them from the medical record shelf and placed them on Dr. Yang's desk.
"Oh? Hua Lan, it's you."
Dr. Yang knew there was someone standing behind her and assumed it was Zhu Rui returning from breakfast.
"Hello Dr. Yang, is there anything I can do for you?"
Hua Lan thought, since I'm standing anyway, I might as well do something.
"The blood test form is tucked into your medical record. Write 'urgent' on it and give it to the nurse."
"Okay." Hua Lan had done this simple thing many times before and never made a mistake.
When she returned after submitting her form, she ran into An Xiaoyue, who was on her way to work.
"Why are you here so early today?"
"Hehe~" Hua Lan chuckled. She couldn't hide anything from An Xiaoyue. "I moved to Chu Xiao's house, which saved me most of my commute time, so I naturally arrived earlier."
Hua Lan patted her waist and teased, "You're pretty good!"
"I live alone in the dorm, it's empty and uncomfortable."
"Wait, why would Brother Chu agree to let you stay at his house? You two..."
An Xiaoyue's gossipy gaze swept over Hua Lan.
Hua Lan blushed, embarrassed by An Xiaoyue's gaze, and whispered in her ear:
"Chu Xiao also likes me, but I have a lot of pride and didn't immediately agree to be his girlfriend."
An Xiaoyue's eyes widened, and she gave Hua Lan a thumbs up, "You've really made something of yourself, you even know how to fight back."
"Of course, you taught me all of that."
"When did I teach you?" An Xiaoyue asked, puzzled.
"Last time, you didn't reply to your husband's messages in time while you were in surgery, so he came to the hospital to look for you."
"Huh?" An Xiaoyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Should we praise Hua Lan for being clever, or explain that this wasn't her intention?
"So, I understand now. Men, the more indifferent you are to them, the more they cling to you." Hua Lan said excitedly, as if she had discovered a truth.
"Hahaha~" An Xiaoyue covered her mouth to avoid her laughter disturbing others.
Brother Chu, this is a huge misunderstanding.
Your unsuccessful confession has nothing to do with me.
An Xiaoyue silently explained to herself.
The two girls chatted and laughed as the other interns arrived one after another.
Everyone was changing clothes there, so the two stopped laughing and joking and went to the doctor's office together to prepare for the shift handover.
"Hualan!" An angry voice came from behind.
