When Zhuo Yilin returned to the hospital, his colleagues were very enthusiastic when they saw him.
After reading several difficult and complicated cases, he originally wanted to leave as soon as he was done and go to the mall to pick up his girlfriend and his mother-in-law-to-be, but his colleagues insisted on calling him to have dinner with them.
Firstly, I came to cleanse him from the wind and dust, and secondly, I talked about the reunion dinner. ""
It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Zhuo Yilin had no choice but to agree.
When he went to the restaurant, while his colleagues were ordering food, he stared down at his phone and sent a message to Fisher.
"We've finished our work, and my colleagues insist on having dinner together. Have you finished your shopping?"
Fisher was on his way to his grandma's house. He replied immediately after receiving the message: "I'm done shopping, now I'm going to my grandma's house. At noon, my uncle and aunt will come over, and there will probably be a big table."
"Sounds lively."
"Yes, you will soon join this lively family. How is it? Are you looking forward to it?"
Zhuo Yilin couldn't help but curl his lips, "I'm looking forward to it very much."
Fisher: "By the way, my mother said we can decide the time of engagement ourselves. Do you want it before or after the year?"
"What about you? When do you want to do it?"
"I was thinking that my family has a big reunion every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and all relatives come over. Or should we book it on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"
Zhuo Yilin said without hesitation: "Okay."
"Then I'll invite you by the way at noon today?"
"Um."
Both of them were holding their mobile phones, and they were going back and forth. Fisher was chatting so much that she was snickering sweetly in the car, and Zhuo Yilin was smiling in the box.
Colleagues nearby joked: "Director Zhuo, what are you doing? I don't even care what you say."
"Ah, no... I just replied to the message, what happened? What did you say?" Zhuo Yilin came back to his senses and quickly looked serious.
But before the colleague could say anything, the box door was knocked again, and the person who pushed the door in made Zhuo Yilin's gaze that had just been moved over paused for an instant.
Theresa.
The person who came through the door was Teresa.
The lively box suddenly fell silent, and several colleagues looked at each other in confusion, not knowing who had tipped off Lisa.
The scene continued to be awkward until a female doctor moved her steps, walked up to Theresa, tugged on her sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Lisa... why are you here?"
Teresa stared intensely at Zhuo Yilin, who was sitting in the main seat, with a nonchalant attitude as if all her former colleagues were gone.
Yes, former colleague.
Because after the online public opinion was fermented, although she and Fisher finally took a step back and issued statements and apologized to each other, the impact was so bad that she still left the hospital and even almost left the medical system.
Later, she simply took the postgraduate entrance examination again, and now she has returned to school to continue studying, but gave up clinical medicine and turned to pharmaceutical research.
When she learned that Zhuo Yilin had returned to China and had come to the hospital today, she couldn't suppress her longing and ran over without caring about her face and dignity.
When several male colleagues saw this, their faces immediately darkened: "Chen Yun, aren't you causing trouble? We were all having a dinner together to have fun, why are you talking about it everywhere!"
"I...I didn't say where to eat..." The female colleague looked embarrassed and defended weakly.
Lisa Du said: "I don't care about Xiaoyun. She only said that Dr. Zhuo is back and we are having lunch. I asked where it was, but she didn't tell me. But I guess you are all busy and you won't go far for dinner. It must be
This is the restaurant.”
This restaurant is not far from the hospital and is almost the second canteen for medical staff.
When she came to the front desk and asked, she knew which box it was.
Zhuo Yilin never spoke, but his face was clear and distant, completely different from the soft and gentle look on his lips that was slightly curled up when he was holding the phone.
"Lisa, if you just want to have a meal, we don't care about multiple pairs of chopsticks, but if you have other purposes, we don't welcome you." Seeing Zhuo Yilin's face so cold, the male colleagues immediately stopped.
A warning.
Teresa didn't say anything, but walked straight to Zhuo Yilin.
Xiao Xu was sitting next to Zhuo Yilin. After Lisa Du came closer, she said directly: "Doctor Xu, get up."
Xiao Xu looked embarrassed, glanced at Zhuo Yilin, and knew that he couldn't get up, so he whispered: "Sister Lisa, why are you doing this? It's embarrassing for you to make a fuss..."
The female colleague immediately came forward and took Lisa Teresa's arm, "Lisa, let's sit over here!"
Du Sha struggled twice, but was pulled away by her female colleague.
Zhuo Yilin still didn't speak, let alone expressed any opinion on Theresa Du's presence.
He just stood up suddenly after everyone had ordered, "You guys can eat, I have something to do and I have to go. I'll pay for this meal. I'll go out and pay the bill now."
Everyone tried to persuade him to stay, but he left without looking back, and the atmosphere in the box suddenly became extremely awkward.
When Lisa saw him leaving, she immediately stood up to chase him, but the male doctor closest to the door suddenly stood up and blocked the door.
"Lisa, it's really ugly when you keep stalking me like this."
"You care about me, get out of my way!"
"I won't let you, push me away if you can!"
Teresa was so angry that she really reached out to push it, but the male doctor held the door handle and refused to let go.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, until the male doctor estimated that Zhuo Yilin had left the restaurant and could not catch up, so he raised his eyebrows and stepped aside slowly.
Dolisa ran out in a hurry, but looking left and right, she could see Zhuo Yilin nowhere to be seen.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the spot, tears of humiliation welling up in her eyes.
————
After Zhuo Yilin left the restaurant, he simply went to Yuyuan Villa to visit his sister and a large group of nephews.
Qianqian knew that her brother was back, but she didn't expect that he would come suddenly and it would be a very embarrassing time.
"Brother Yi Lin, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, have you eaten?"
"It's already one o'clock in the afternoon, of course I'm going to eat!"
Zhuo Yilin parked the car, opened the trunk and moved out the gifts for the children. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You can let me cook whatever I want in the kitchen."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyu, Xiaozhou and Xixi ran out first, "Uncle! You are finally back!"
"uncle!"
After not seeing each other for a few months, the three children had grown a lot taller. Zhuo Yilin was holding the gifts in his hands and could not squat down. He could only stand and let the triplets pounce on them.
Qianqian was accompanied by a pair of twins.
The fourth and fifth children were too young and had little impression of their uncle, but seeing their brothers and sisters happy, they innocently clapped and jumped along with them.
A large group of people entered the house.
The children went to open gifts, and Zhuo Yilin sat down to drink some water.
Seeing him coming alone at this time, Qian Qian asked curiously: "Where's Fei Fei? Why don't you come together?"
"She went to visit grandma today. I went up to the hospital for some business. After I finished my work, I didn't know where to go, so I came over to see the children."
"Oh..." Qianqian nodded. Seeing the five children noisy on the sofa, she couldn't help but have a headache. "Xiaoyu, take your brothers and sisters to the room to play. It's too noisy."
The children turned around and asked, "Uncle, can you play with us?"
Zhuo Yilin stood up immediately, "Of course, let's go, uncle will accompany you."
Qian Qian originally wanted to ask about their engagement arrangements, but when her brother got up and left, she had to wait until dinner to ask.
She got up and followed the team. Seeing that her brother was very patient with the child and was gentler and more loving than the child's father, she took out her mobile phone to take a few photos and sent them to her best friend.
"Look, my brother will definitely be a good father in the future."
Fisher was still eating. When a big family gathers for dinner, the meal always takes longer.
Seeing the photos sent by Qianqian, she was puzzled: "Why did he go to your house? He said he was having lunch with his colleagues at noon."
