Chapter 230: Chapter 176: Compensation_2

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuxia encountered Zhou Mikang, which presented her with the opportunity to enlist.

But all of this wasn’t what she sincerely desired, so at the beginning, she thought since her parents hadn’t treated her poorly, she should treat serving them as a form of reciprocation and take a more active role.

Facing the Zhou family, her parents’ unconditional support inspired her determination to thrive in this era. She wanted not only to improve their lives but to ensure they could hold their heads high while doing so!

In essence, she was once lost, tirelessly searching for a way forward. Now, she had finally found a goal to strive towards, and having a goal furnished her with motivation! This motivation stemmed from her parents.

Her confidence in becoming a good doctor wasn’t without basis; her past piano practice had endowed her with extremely dexterous hands, coupled with a solid educational foundation, she held an absolute advantage over others!

Her choices confirmed the saying, "wealth nurtures girls, while poverty grooms boys." She, once a girl nurtured by wealth, remained unspoiled by fame and fortune in this era of poverty, instead, she looked forward to self-actualization.

Indeed, the less you care about something, the easier it is to obtain it. Caring too much might cause you to lose it instead. This philosophy applies universally.

Watching the dazzling brilliance on her face, Zhou Mikang was momentarily dazed. It seemed, his decision was correct! Well then, going forward, he would shield her from all adversities; he enjoyed watching her spirited demeanor.

He hoped that one day, their relationship would bring out such dazzling brilliance in her!

At that moment, he was very certain of his feelings: he liked her. From the first time he saw her, he was drawn to her genuineness, her playful tricks on him, her authenticity...

Feeling good, Lin Chuxia completely ignored Yuan Mengmeng’s cold mockery when she returned to the dorm. Seeing Mengmeng mutter to herself and then close her mouth, feeling bored, was somewhat satisfying.

Another who was displeased with Chuxia was Lin Mengran.

Meeting Mengran’s icy gaze, Chuxia responded with a smile, which made Mengran huff in disgust and look away.

During their interactions over this period, Chuxia noticed that Mengran was someone who addressed issues rather than targeting people personally. Her displeasure was likely due to Chuxia’s frequent leaves of absence; thus, her response was well-intentioned.

"Chuxia, you’re back?" Liu Meijun, who had just returned from washing up, approached her with a concerned expression, "Was your uncle’s surgery successful?"

Chuxia smiled at her, "It went very well! Thank you!"

"Why be so formal with me?" Liu Meijun sighed in relief, "That’s good, I was worried all day. By the way, you met Xiaoqiong, right? How is she doing? Is she adapting well there?"

Everyone perked up their ears. Given Luo Xiaoqiong’s fortunate situation, few couldn’t envy her, prompting curiosity at the mention of her.

Chuxia simply nodded, satisfying everyone’s curiosity, "I saw her. She took a day off to accompany my parents today, and Director Xu is very good to her."

Lin Mengran suddenly said, "Lin Chuxia, I’m sorry!"

Chuxia was taken aback and laughed, "What is there to be sorry for? My dad getting sick isn’t your fault."

Mengran embarrassedly scratched her head, "You know, I was apologizing for my attitude earlier. I didn’t know about your dad being sick."

Chuxia was actually surprised that Zeng Meili hadn’t spread the news. The leaves had been arranged by Liu Meijun and Zhang Erniu; she hadn’t even met Zeng Meili yet.

From her perspective, to clear things up for the team, Zeng Meili should have informed everyone. Thinking this way, Chuxia looked doubtfully at Liu Meijun. As for Zhang Erniu standing behind Liu Meijun, she chose to ignore her, thinking it better not to ask at all.

Liu Meijun spread her hands, "The team leader told me not to spread the word, I don’t know why."

Seeing there was still time, Chuxia decided to look for Zeng Meili. She truly felt she had troubled her a lot, regardless of the reason, and she owed her thanks.

Zeng Meili was studying a medical book in the dormitory. Hearing the knocking, she called without looking up, "Come in!"

"Team leader, I’m back." Chuxia sat on a stool opposite Zeng Meili, her face apologetic, "I’m sorry for troubling you again."

"What trouble?" Zeng Meili put down her book, smiling at her, "Are you wondering why I didn’t tell the team about your father being hospitalized?"

Chuxia nodded honestly, "I was curious."

"I guess you’ll be taking leave frequently in the future, and we can’t always give noble reasons. So, it’s better to start setting a precedent now. It benefits you, me, and the team."

Chuxia’s face flushed—this was indirectly calling her a troublemaker.

"Don’t be embarrassed. You and my brother’s engagement isn’t publicly known, but you are already betrothed. If anything happens in their family, you won’t be able to stay away. Ah, if I were you, I would have just joined the arts troupe; isn’t it tiring to stay here?"

"I don’t like the arts troupe." Chuxia sighed quietly. Her choices, she believed, wouldn’t be understood by many, but those who hadn’t experienced it had no right to judge.

Zeng Meili hesitated, then added, "Your aunt likes the idea."

"You told her?"

Zeng Meili shook her head, "No, it’s my aunt who is busy trying to transfer you to the arts troupe. I wanted to tell her that the troupe wants you, but hesitated and didn’t say anything. When she finds out, god knows how she’ll scold me."

"That puts you in a difficult position." Chuxia expressed genuine regret for causing trouble for Zeng Meili. "What can I do to make it up to you?"

"You can treat my elder brother well, reduce your interactions with Doctor Jing, that would be the best way to make it up to me."(To be continued.
