She came to the Jiang family at the age of eight and became Jiang Wenzhou's younger sister. Later, she became his first love, too. Sadly, their cliffside romance was dazzling and brief, like fireworks. When she was with Jiang Wenzhou, Qi Mei was polished and driven. She was the best-dressed girl in medical school, and the best student among the girls who knew how to dress. Jiang Wenzhou believed that good love made you a better version of yourself, and thought Qi Mei's growth proved that they were striving toward each other. But he didn't know how exhausted she was from trying to keep up with him. The only thing that broke his heart was her decision to leave academia and clinical work after they broke up. Until one day, he happened to overhear her talking with a friend. "You were so different back then. So polished and alluring." "I couldn't help it. I was hopelessly love-brained back then, trying to appeal to men." "And now?" "I've learned to please myself. I like who I am now." Jiang Wenzhou suddenly remembered that Qi Mei had never once appeared before him with messy hair. Cardiac surgery x airport emergency care Theme: People destined to meet will always find each other.
