Lu Chi felt incredibly frustrated at the moment, like fate was toying with him. He had liked Nianyang for so many years; does he really have to give up?
No…
His gentle eyes flickered, and just as Lu Chi wanted to say something, Nianyang waved her hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it. I have to go find A-Yan, you take care and work hard."
Lu Chi, having finally summoned the courage to speak, was thwarted again. He looked at Nianyang walk away with a face full of gloom.
Unbeknownst to him, this scene was witnessed by Yang Mei, who had come to get medicine. She was hiding behind a pillar eavesdropping as Nianyang spoke with Lu Chi.
The distance was too far, and she couldn't hear clearly, only barely making out that Nianyang and Dr. Lu had quite a good relationship; they were actually longtime friends!
Oh, this is interesting. Seeing Dr. Lu's expression, it's obvious he likes Nianyang. Yet, to everyone else, they pretend they just met!
