Dr. Bai's Heart-Fluttering Clinic

A note up front: This is the workplace novel you've all been waiting for, with a few school-life scenes mixed in.

Back in school, Zhou Yanlin was Bai Ye's guiding light.

He spoke beneath the national flag while she listened attentively below.

Later, she enrolled in B University's medical school, becoming his junior as she'd always hoped.

Throughout eight years of medical training, she never once regretted choosing this path.

The only thing she regretted was not staying in Beijing after graduation.

When she heard that he was getting engaged, Bai Ye decided to sign a contract with a top-tier hospital back in the south.

This year, Bai Ye was promoted to associate professor. Her relationship with her boyfriend was stable, and they were preparing to get engaged.

The night before the engagement, their families were meeting.

Bai Ye rushed over after working overtime and heard her boyfriend talking to someone in the stairwell.

"Cousin, isn't Bai Ye your junior? What do you think of her?"

"She's pretty dull. I've known her for almost twenty years, and I don't think she's ever said hello to me."

Bai Ye stopped in her tracks and thought: I've spent almost twenty years chasing after him, but to him, I'm just a junior who can't even be bothered to say hello.

A while later, the man's family disapproved of Bai Ye, and the engagement was called off.

Bai Ye agreed.

At one in the morning, Bai Ye finished an operation and made her unsteady way toward the parking lot.

Zhou Yanlin was leaning against her car. Who knew how long he had been waiting?

"Did you really never have feelings for me?"

Bai Ye smiled wearily. "Sorry, senior. I'm not only dull, I'm slow on the uptake too. I don't understand what you're saying."

Zhou Yanlin had given countless medical orders, performed countless surgeries, and saved countless people.

There was only one person he had ever spoken ill of.

That person decided to remember it for the rest of his life.

Author: The "rest of his life" here means a lifetime of getting frisky together, not a lifetime of fighting until they're both bloody. [Important point]
