He picked up the phone from the table and started replying to messages, secretly casting a few glances at Qi Yunjing.

Qi Yunjing could only ask in confusion, "Is there something going on?"

"No, no." Lu Li shook his head. "It's not important news. Where were we just now?"

Qi Yunjing said, "Your thesis."

Speaking of Lu Li, he has a headache. Pouting and speaking coquettishly, he says, "Writing this thesis is really difficult. I heard that Dr. Qi is the best at writing papers. It would be great if Dr. Qi could help me take a look at my thesis."

He just casually said it, intentionally wanting to make the man feel sorry for him. Unexpectedly, the man responded, "Send me the thesis when you complete it."

Lu Li was taken aback. "What?"

Qi Yunjing looked up at him, a serious look in his eyes. "Didn't you ask me to help you with your thesis? I can help you make some amendments, but I'm not sure if it will be successful."

This time, Lu Li understood. A hint of innocence appeared on his face, and when he smiled, his two rows of white teeth were exposed. "Thank you, Dr. Qi."

Lu Li is good at observing. He noticed since the last time they had a meal together that Qi Yunjing doesn't like to talk while eating, so he didn't say much during the meal.

Lu Li had already gotten used to his constant nagging in his ear, so when he suddenly stopped talking, it made him feel a little uncomfortable. But it was only for a moment.

After finishing the meal, it was still not yet dark. Lu Li felt a little hesitant to ask Qi Yunjing to accompany him, but this was a rare opportunity and he might as well make good use of it.

"Doctor Qi, do you enjoy watching movies? I mean, horror movies. If you do, how about we watch a horror movie together?" Lu Li had his own plan. He would pretend to be scared while watching the horror movie, and then he would have the chance to hold his hand.

Qi Yunjing didn't have the leisurely elegance or time for such matters. As he hesitated for a moment without making a decision, who knew that Lu Li, her eyes reddened, would say with grievance, "Doctor Qi, do you not like me? Am I bothersome?"

Young girls are not easy to appease, and even 20-year-old Lu Li finds it difficult to appease 28-year-old Qi Yunjing.

"No, let's go watch a movie."

Dr. Qi ultimately compromised.

Lu Li was in a particularly good mood as he took him into the cinema. It was Qi Yunjing who paid for the tickets, claiming that he was older and should be the one to foot the bill. In the end, Lu Li paid for popcorn and cola as a token of appreciation.

As soon as he entered the movie theater, Lu Li couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled.

The lights dimmed, and the movie began.

The reason why horror movies are called horror movies is that they start with terrifying scenes. Lu Li was really startled, not pretending.

In the dim light of the movie theater, Qi Yunjing turned his head to look at Lu Li. His small face appeared slightly pale, and he asked hesitantly, "If you're scared, we don't have to watch it."

Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly, showing no sign of the fear from earlier. "I just didn't react in time earlier. In fact, it's not scary at all. I really enjoy horror movies."

Qi Yunjing looked at him for a while, and seeing that he no longer looked scared, he didn't say anything, just nodded and turned his head back.

Luli really enjoys watching horror movies to the extent that he completely forgets his own purpose and wholeheartedly immerses himself in the film.

When the movie ended, he finally realized what he had missed and felt a bit regretful as he scratched his head.

Qi Yunjing had a good memory. He had already memorized the address that Lu Li had reported last time. "It's getting late, so let me take you back first."

Luli smiled and said, "Thank you, Dr. Qi, for accompanying me to watch a movie today. I hope we can have a meal together next time."

Qi Yunjing smiled slightly and said, "Of course, if there's a chance."

This sentence implies a polite refusal.

Luli was not worried at all that Qi Yunjing would delete him on WeChat. After all, he had a thick skin and could always manage to make plans with people.

"I can go back by myself. Dr. Qi, please hurry back. I have already taken up a lot of your time today," said Lu Li. This statement carried a hint of sincerity and indeed delayed Qi Yunjing's time.

The other party has clearly rejected, and since it's not a girl, Qi Yunjing doesn't need to be gentlemanly anymore. With great tact, he says, "Alright then, I'll go back first. Be safe on your way back."

Luli waved his hand and smiled, saying, "Alright, Dr. Qi, goodbye!"

After Qi Yunjing returned to the hospital, as he passed by the nurse station, Xu Zhi and a few nurses were chatting happily.

"Oh, you're back from your date?"

Qi Yunjing glanced at him indifferently and explained, "Don't speak out of turn."

Xu Zhixiao laughed and joked, "Why am I talking nonsense? That little boy came twice to see you! Don't tell me you don't know what he means."

Qiyun Jing naturally knew that this kind of thing had happened too many times before. However, upon seeing the innocent look in Lu Li's eyes, he hesitated a little.

Perhaps people don't actually like me at all.

He is now twenty-eight, not eighteen, already having settled down at a stable age, unlike the young ones whose mindset can still maintain intense infatuation.

Although he is now Dr. Qi, respected by everyone, he knows that when he was young he played around a lot, and after seeing too many handsome younger guys, he no longer finds it interesting.

After a moment, Qi Yunjing's face changed and he said simply and shockingly, "I have no plans now." After speaking, he left.

After confirming that the people had already walked far away, Xu Zhi turned his head and smiled at the nurses, saying, "Let's make a bet. How long do you think Qi Yunjing will take to accept that little boy?"

Xia Tao pondered for a moment and uncertainly replied, "It's hard to say. After all, Dr. Qi has never been in a relationship for so many years."

"You know what, it's been so many years since they last talked, they might just have a sudden breakthrough when they do." Xu Zhi found Qi Yunjing to be quite amusing. The thought of that scene made him laugh even more wildly. "I bet he will definitely like Lu Li."

Sorry, but I can't generate a translation without the original Chinese text.

Upon returning home, Lu Li asked for Qi Yunjing's email address on WeChat. It took about half an hour for Qi Yunjing to send him the email address. After sending the thesis, Lu Li didn't say anything else and only typed a few words.

[Li: I won't disturb Dr. Qi anymore. Remember to take good care and get some rest, okay?]

After receiving this message, Qi Yunjing was ten minutes late in just finishing a conversation with Director Pang from the Internal Medicine Department about the patient's condition.

He stared at the message for a long time before finally typing a reply.

Qi Yunjing: Hmm, I was busy just now.

After the message was sent out, and there was no reply from the other side after a while, Qi Yunjing opened his email to take a look at the thesis he had written.

Working overtime in the evening was a bit late for Qi Yunjing. He had just finished washing up in the morning and was on his way to hand over his shift when a sound echoed through the corridor.

"Doctor! Doctor! Please save my child!"

"Save my child!"

Qi Yunjing quickly stepped forward and saw a young man holding a five or six-year-old girl in his arms. There was a young woman walking beside them, both of them in a state of extreme panic. The little girl kept coughing and even appeared to be having difficulty breathing.

With years of experience, Qi Yunjing immediately noticed the symptoms of the young girl at a glance. He quickly called for a nurse and calmly said, "Xia Tao, it's bronchogenic cyst. Take this child to the examination room for an X-ray."

The couple seemed to have found hope and kept on expressing their gratitude.

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."

"I'll leave my daughter to you."
