Qiyun Jing had a late rest last night, and he got up early in the morning to rush to the hospital to sign in after his shift. His work for the day consisted of doing rounds, writing medical records, and performing two surgeries.

After just finishing the surgery in the morning, Qi Yunjing stood for a full five hours. His legs felt a bit numb after leaving the operating room. He has a serious obsession with cleanliness and would prefer to disinfect his entire body after each surgery.

When Qi Yunjing went to fetch water with a water cup, a few nearby nurses started chattering excitedly upon seeing him.

"Dr. Qi, there's a little boy waiting for you. He's been waiting for almost the entire morning."

"Is that your younger brother, Dr. Qi? He looks so adorable, and he even has blue eyes."

"Wow, it looks really small. It seems like they're only about sixteen or seventeen years old."

After hearing this, Qi Yunjing knew who it was. He didn't expect that Lu Li had actually found this place. He smiled lightly and said, "No, he's more like a friend. Where is he?"

The nurse said, "I know you have mysophobia, Dr. Qi. I have someone waiting outside the office for you."

"Thank you, then I'll go take a look first." Qi Yunjing smiled and nodded, then he lifted his foot and walked away.

"Goodbye, Dr. Qi!"

When Qi Yunjing came to the corridor of the office, he stopped in his tracks. The young man was sitting in a chair, his head lowered, revealing a section of pristine white neck, with his forehead covered by hair, concealing his eyebrows and eyes.

Those delicate and tender hands were holding a mobile phone, seemingly playing a game. The person was dressed in ordinary clothes with no apparent brand. There was a logo at the hem of the clothing, while on their feet, they wore a limited edition pair of Nike shoes.

"What's the matter? Why are you looking for me?" Qi Yunjing asked as he spoke up.

As soon as he heard Qi Yunjing's voice, Lu Li immediately put down his phone and looked up, smiling at Qi Yunjing, saying, "Dr. Qi."

"Come in." Qi Yunjing opened the office door. He picked up the disinfectant on the desk and sprayed it twice in his hands, then proceeded to wash his hands methodically using the seven-step handwashing technique.

Lu Li stood at the door, watching the man sanitize his hands with disinfectant. Every joint was distinct, and his fingers were slim and long. Although it was just a simple act of hand rubbing, Lu Li sensed a different meaning. These were hands that wielded surgical knives, yet they were so aesthetically pleasing.

Qi Yunjing turned his head to look at him, feeling puzzled. He could only ask, "What do you need?"

Lu Li suddenly came back to his senses, his ears gradually filled with crimson, as he forcefully shook off the yellow debris in his mind.

"I heard them saying that Dr. Qi has a cleanliness obsession, so they didn't go in. They mentioned yesterday that they wanted to invite you to dinner. I wonder if Dr. Qi is free?" Lu Li straightforwardly stated the purpose of today's meeting.

In the afternoon, there is another surgery. Qi Yunjing still has many things to do, and he estimates that there won't be enough time to have a meal with Lu Li. After pondering for a moment, he apologetically smiles and says, "I'm sorry, I don't have time today. There is another surgery in the afternoon."

I thought Lu Li would show a regretful expression, but to my surprise, he smiled cheerfully and said, "It's okay, let's wait for Dr. Qi to have free time and go then."

It just so happened to give Lu Li the opportunity to invite him next time.

He didn't need to find any more excuses.

Qiyun Jing paused for a moment and suggested, "Let me treat you to a meal. The food in our hospital cafeteria is not bad."

The hospital canteen is also divided into two types: one is for the staff, and the other is for the patients.

The dishes provided by the staff canteen and the patient canteen may not have the same significance, because patients are a special group of people, and some diseases require a special diet. On the other hand, the staff, being healthy, are provided with dishes that are meant for the general population.

It is also to reduce the risk of cross-infection. The patients may have infectious diseases or communicable diseases. Of course, it is not possible for patients with highly contagious diseases to come to the patient canteen to eat. They need to be isolated, such as patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, especially those with open tuberculosis.

Qi Yunjing took Lu Li with him and left the staff canteen. Along the way, many people greeted Qi Yunjing.

"Dr. Qi, hello!"

"Good afternoon, Dr. Qi!"

Qi Yunjing politely smiled and nodded, and Lu Li followed alongside him, somewhat captivated by the man's smile. He was well-mannered and considerate, gentle and thoughtful, humble and attentive.

This is what Lu Li observed along the way. A man like him is truly difficult not to like, to be honest. No wonder those young girls in the hospital were fond of him in the morning.

Of course, Lu Li also noticed that there were people sizing him up along the way. After all, this was the staff canteen, where everyone wore white coats. Lu Li, who was dressed like a young person, stood out and looked completely out of place here.

The two of them sat in a quieter spot, with Lu Li, who usually chattered incessantly, surprisingly feeling a little out of place in such an environment. He ate his meal quietly.

Qiyun Jing was not accustomed to talking while eating. The two of them just sat there quietly eating.

After a while, a man sat beside Qi Yunjing. He looked at Lu Li, who had a bright smile and said to Qi Yunjing, "Why don't you introduce your brother? I haven't heard of you having a younger brother."

Qi Yunjing said, "It's not from anyone's family, but a friend of mine, Lu Li."

Xu Zhi cast a meaningful glance at Qi Yunjing, then turned to Lu Li and smiled, saying, "Hello, I'm Xu Zhi, Qi Yunjing's classmate and friend, as well as his colleague now."

The man in front of her didn't look like a typical doctor at all. Instead of being serious and rigid, he was cheerful and interesting.

As soon as he heard that they were friends of Qi Yunjing, Lu Li's eyes lit up with an opportunity. He smiled and said to Xu Zhi, "Hello, Dr. Xu."

Xu Zhibu calmly examined Lu Li and casually asked, "How old are you? The academic pressure must be quite high for someone of your age."

Lu Li: "I'm already twenty years old, and I'm in my final year of college."

Not blaming Xu Zhi for admitting his mistake, Lu Li's appearance is too young-looking, coupled with those blue eyes, he exudes a youthful aura as a high school student.

Qi Yunjing was shocked. Obviously, he had also guessed Lu Li's age wrong. When he saw him last night, he looked like a high school student sneaking into a bar and getting cornered by hooligans demanding money.

I didn't expect there to be a bit of a difference in age and appearance.

Xu Zhi also widened his eyes in disbelief and said, "Your face looks so young. Have you been in China for a few years, yet you speak fluent Mandarin?"

Lu Li has already become numb to these kind of comments. He still smiles and says, "My father is Chinese, and my eyes inherited my mother's color, so I may look mixed race, but I still consider myself Chinese."

Xu Zhi nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is."

He thought for a moment and then asked, "If you're in your fourth year of college, then you should be close to graduating, right?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "Yes, there is still a little over a month left."

The two of them had a delightful and engrossing conversation, while Qi Yunjing listened silently by the side.

After finishing their meal, Lu Li and Xu Zhi added each other on WeChat.

Before leaving, Xu Zhi said, "You know doctors are always busy. Let's go out and have some fun when we have time in the future."

Having eaten a meal unexpectedly, Lu Li couldn't be too hasty. He could retreat now, or else the prey would become troublesome.

"I am very grateful to Dr. Qi for taking me to the hospital cafeteria for a meal today, so I won't disturb Dr. Qi's work anymore. I will treat Dr. Qi to a meal another day."

Qi Yunjing did not ask him to stay, after all, there were a lot of things to do today. He smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll see you off."

"No need, no need. Dr. Qi is busy, I'll take my leave," Lu Li waved his hand, declining.

Qi Yunjing didn't insist on sending him off either. After saying "Take care on the way," Lu Li left.
