Chapter 746: A Truly Good Man
As he watched Xiao Yi leave, Doctor Niu did not immediately turn to walk back to the elevator. Instead, his eyes filled with reluctance and admiration as he kept watching Xiao Yi, wanting to see him off until he left the lobby and disappeared from sight before turning back to report.
This was truly an extraordinary person. So young yet so accomplished. Not just skilled in medicine, but his demeanor as a person was even more admirable, not at all like someone of his age!
I wonder what kind of family can nurture such a talent!
This is truly a demeanor of a great family!
Like that Mr. Zhao earlier, he’s just a mere clown in comparison!
Gazing at Xiao Yi’s tall figure and his leisurely pace, Doctor Niu couldn’t help but praise him inwardly.
Just as Xiao Yi’s figure was about to reach the entrance of the lobby and leave the hospital completely, Doctor Niu sighed softly and was finally ready to turn back. But just as he was about to turn, his expression suddenly froze.
Just a moment ago, Xiao Yi, who had been calm and composed, had suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, turned his head abruptly, looked down, and hurried back inside.
Soon, he had returned to where Doctor Niu was standing.
"Doctor Xiao, what happened?"
After a moment of surprise, Doctor Niu hastily looked at Xiao Yi, who had suddenly come back, and asked with concern.
"I...I remembered, it seems I forgot something. I need to go up and get it..."
Xiao Yi said awkwardly, as if he just remembered something, and then immediately hurried back.
Forgot something?
No, didn’t Doctor Xiao come without carrying anything?
And he didn’t put anything down in the hallway just now. How could this be?
Doctor Niu was perplexed again, scratching his head in confusion and looking at Xiao Yi who was already turning toward the elevator, not bothering to think further and quickly shouted, "Doctor Xiao, wait for me!"
As Xiao Yi, walking ahead, heard Doctor Niu’s shout, he internally cursed, feeling miserable. He quickly quickened his steps, hoping to get into the elevator as soon as possible.
However, his hopeful plan ultimately failed, as an unchangeable reality was that the elevators were not always waiting on the ground floor. All three elevators were currently in the process of going up.
Darn it, those cursed elevators, why couldn’t they be a bit slower.
Watching an elevator that had just ascended to the third floor, Xiao Yi gloomily slapped the elevator door. Fortunately, he stealthily glanced towards the lobby, and that person seemed not to have noticed anything unusual yet. He finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But this breath of relief didn’t last long, as he saw that figure step by step walking toward him, his anxiety soared once again.
No, waiting like this won’t do!
He glanced at the numbers displayed above the elevators.
Xiao Yi finally clenched his teeth and decided he could not just sit back and wait, turned around, and hurriedly called out to Doctor Niu, "Doctor Niu, wait here for the elevator, I’m taking the emergency exit."
After speaking, without waiting for a response from Doctor Niu, he quickly walked towards the direction of the emergency exit.
Doctor Niu was about to say something but hadn’t fully reacted when he felt a blur in front of his eyes as a figure brushed past him. Watching Xiao Yi hurry away, seemingly in great turmoil and no longer possessing his previous composure, Doctor Niu was left with his mouth agape, completely confused about what had just happened.
It’s crazy, why do I keep running into her lately, even last time at the hospital?
What’s she doing at the hospital?
As he lowered his head and walked rapidly towards the emergency exit, Xiao Yi felt extremely vexed.
Just as he burst out of the lobby earlier, he had seen Zeng Xiaomei and almost collided with her directly! The moment he raised his head and confirmed that it was indeed Zeng Xiaomei, his heart almost leaped out of his chest. Fortunately, he reacted fast enough. In an instant, he decisively ducked behind someone, turned his head down, and walked back, avoiding her.
This time, he finally dodged a bullet.
At last, Xiao Yi reached the doorway to the emergency exit. Seeing he could step in and hide inside, he could escape the ordeal. Even if he and Zeng Xiaomei were fated to meet again, surely she couldn’t chase him down here!
Xiao Yi’s mood finally began to relax slightly.
However, he celebrated too soon. Just as he was stepping into the stairwell, a crisp voice tinged with a hint of surprise rang out.
"Xiao Yi?"
Zeng Xiaomei looked astonished at the figure in front of her.
After she called out, she blinked again, making sure it was really Xiao Yi in front of her. It felt impossible to encounter him here. Wasn’t he supposed to be in the classroom, battling it out for the upcoming final exams?
Hearing that crisp voice behind him, Xiao Yi’s figure suddenly stiffened, muscles in his face tensing, and his expression turning uglier than if he were crying.
Oh God, this can’t be happening! I even hid here, how could she still catch me?
No matter how much he inwardly cried or lamented, protesting to God, his steps nevertheless obediently halted. Although he could have pretended not to hear and rushed inside to escape—and perhaps Zeng Xiaomei might have thought she was mistaken—he really did not have the courage to take that risk. From several encounters with Zeng Xiaomei, he knew all too well that this beautiful police officer sister had a stubborn streak, or to put it more bluntly, was somewhat inflexible.
If she insisted on trusting her judgment and decided to inquire and investigate, discovering his escape could lead to unimaginable consequences. He had no confidence she wouldn’t find out, especially since so many people knew of his arrival here; just a little distance away stood Doctor Niu who could easily confirm his presence.
"Officer Zeng, it’s you, hello."
Turning around obediently, he squeezed out a strained smile and looked at Zeng Xiaomei.
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing here?"
Zeng Xiaomei, seeing Xiao Yi turn around, felt no joy at her correct guess or encountering a familiar face, instead her brows immediately furrowed. Although when she had inquired about him at school earlier his reputation seemed passable, not as poor as she imagined, overall, she didn’t see him as very outstanding—in fact, quite the opposite.
She had thought he had come to his senses that morning in school, ready to properly face the finals, but unexpectedly, he had run off to the hospital in the afternoon, leading her to feel a tinge of frustrated disappointment.
"I... came... to see a friend," Xiao Yi said, feeling a bit embarrassed and recalling Zeng Xiaomei’s previous tone, which seemed to dislike this answer he quickly added earnestly, "Officer Zeng, it’s true, I’m really here to see a friend."
"If you came to see a friend, why be so nervous?"
Zeng Xiaomei had indeed frowned at Xiao Yi’s words, showing a look of disgust, but seeing Xiao Yi grow increasingly anxious, her face finally softened somewhat. She felt that this time, he was telling the truth. Her heart relaxed slightly, thinking she had been overly sensitive. It was quite normal and proper for him to visit a classmate who was hospitalized.
Seeing Xiao Yi standing in front of her, nervous and seemingly very afraid of her, recalling her past scoldings, her face slightly reddened and she eased her look with a slight glare.
Would I be this nervous if it weren’t for seeing you?
Xiao Yi thought to himself, but of course, he wouldn’t say it out loud, just giving a sheepish smile.
Not far away, standing at the elevator entrance and preparing to come over, Doctor Niu watched this sudden scene, his mouth gaping wide enough to fit two eggs, his eyes bulging like a bull’s.
He had never imagined that Xiao Yi, who had been so imposing and dare to slap people in front of figures like Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao, looking so domineering, could act like an obedient child from kindergarten in front of a stunningly beautiful woman.
It took a while for his mouth to close, inwardly he praised repeatedly, this is what a real man looks like, a good man! Outdoors, unyielding and dignified, but in front of girls, he wouldn’t act tough or display toxic masculinity, even willing to bow his head—any girl with him would be the luckiest.
However, from what had just happened, why did it seem like Xiao Yi was somewhat afraid of this girl and wanted to run away? To say he didn’t like the girl would be wrong; if not, he wouldn’t have been so humble in front of her, so...
Hmm, does the girl seem a bit domineering?
Sigh... this girl doesn’t know the blessing she’s in, if I get a chance, I really should enlighten her; otherwise, if she keeps treating Doctor Xiao this way, one day when he can’t take it anymore and leaves, she’ll regret it too late.
Doctor Niu couldn’t help but gossip internally. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
