The dim light of early morning filtered through the curtains as Cheng Xiaoxiao woke up in He Yao's apartment, her body still immersed in the aftermath of last night's dream about Zhong Xiaochuan, full of the wildness and power characteristic of a werewolf. She shook her head, trying to get rid of those heart pounding memories, determined to plunge into a new day.
He Yao had already left the house, leaving Cheng Xiaoxiao alone in the empty room. She quickly washed up and prepared to head to the Lin Family Hospital to start her day as an intern doctor. Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that as a doctor, she had to remain professional and calm, especially when faced with life and death decisions.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Cheng Xiaoxiao was assigned to the emergency department, which was her first opportunity to observe and learn about surgery up close. Her mentor was Chief Hu of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, a veteran doctor with a strong reputation in the hospital. Cheng Xiaoxiao felt both nervous and excited, knowing that this was a rare opportunity to learn.
However, Cheng Xiaoxia was troubled by the rumors in the hospital. Colleagues talk about her background, some say she's a member of the Red Generation, some speculate that she's a young grandmother of a wealthy family, and some think she's the dean's goddaughter. Cheng Xiao Xiao didn't care about this nonsense, she was more concerned about how to improve her medical skills.
After lunch, Cheng Xiaoxiao took a breath of fresh air in the courtyard of the hospitalization department. Under the apricot tree, a beauty sitting in a wheelchair attracted her attention. The woman was beautiful and sad, as if she was telling an ancient and sad story. Cheng Xiaoxiao heard her reciting a poem that described a young girl's upbringing and heartache, making her feel empathetic.
Suddenly, Zhong Xiaochuan appears under the apricot tree, and his appearance breaks Cheng Xiaoxiao's contemplation. The beauty hugs him while he looks concerned and nervous. Cheng Xiao Xiao feels a tinge of loss, she is not sure about the relationship between Zhong Xiao Chuan and the woman, but she knows she has no right to ask.
Director Hu's summons interrupted Cheng Xiao Xiao's thoughts, she hurriedly gathered her emotions and prepared to follow the director into the operating room. This was her first time on the operating table, and Cheng Xiaoxia felt both nervous and expectant. During the operation, she was fully concentrated and tried to keep up with the director's pace, but the blood and pressure of the operation made her feel uncomfortable.
After the surgery, Cheng Xiaoxiao vomited in the bathroom, realizing she still had a long way to go. She rinses her face with water and tries to calm herself down. At that moment, Zhong Xiaochuan appeared in front of her, a hint of concern in his eyes.
"The popsicle will melt if you don't come out." Zhong Xiaochuan's voice interrupted Cheng Xiaoxiao's self-reflection.
Cheng Xiao Xiao felt embarrassed, she didn't want to show her vulnerability in front of Zhong Xiao Chuan. She tried to go around him and leave, but Zhong Xiaochuan stopped her. The atmosphere between them became tense and complicated, and Zhong Xiaochuan's proximity made Cheng Xiaoxia's heart beat faster.
"I've been waiting for you for an hour and I'm just leaving like this?" Zhong Xiaochuan's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Cheng Xiao Xiao tried to stay calm, "Your girlfriend doesn't look like she's in very good health, you should be by her side right now."
Zhong Xiaochuan, however, looked at her with an expression that seemed like a smile, "Sounds like jealousy."
Cheng Xiaoxiao's emotions went out of control in a split second, she pushed Zhong Xiaochuan and looked straight into his eyes, "Yes, I'm jealous. You already have a girlfriend why do you still come to provoke me to be jealous?"
Zhong Xiaochuan's eyes became deep, he suddenly gripped the back of Cheng Xiaoxiao's neck and pulled her towards him. Their lips touched, and Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a wildness and passion unique to werewolves. Zhong Xiaochuan's kiss was both rough and full of skill, making Cheng Xiaoxiao almost unable to resist.
Just then, a voice interrupted their intimacy. A small, gentlemanly man wearing glasses appeared at the doorway of the men's restroom, and he awkwardly pleaded with them to let him out. Cheng Xiaoxia felt ashamed as she realized that she and Zhong Xiaochuan were actually kissing in front of the men's room.
Zhong Xiaochuan lets go of Cheng Xiao Xiao, but he doesn't leave immediately. He reminded Cheng Xiao Xiao that she had posted a question on the internet about how to deal with men who run away after flirting, and he was now demonstrating how to deal with it himself.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was confused and embarrassed, and she denied that she had posted anything like that. However, Zhong Xiaochuan revealed that he knew the poster had the same IP address as him, which made Cheng Xiaoxia unable to refute.
Eventually, Zhong Xiaochuan receives a phone call, and he immediately lets go of Cheng Xiaoxia and leaves in a hurry. Cheng Xiaoxia looked at his distant back, her heart filled with complex emotions. She realized that the relationship between her and Zhong Xiaochuan was far more complicated than she had imagined.
