She returned to the bedroom, washed up, tidied her hair, and changed before opening the door again.
“Good morning, Dr Zhou.”
Zhou Li looked at An Rui, who was smiling brightly, a gentle smile on his lips. “Good morning, girlfriend.”
Tsk tsk.
Who said that this person was a block of wood?
He was quite eloquent sometimes!
“I made breakfast. Shall we eat together?”
“Okay.”
After having breakfast with Zhou Li, he wanted to send An Rui to work.
“Will I make you late for work?”
“No.”
“Alright, wait a while. I’ll go put on some simple makeup.”
An Rui was dressed more youthful today. Her hair was tied into a bun and she was wearing a short cream shirt and blue jeans. Her legs looked long and slender, giving people a sense of high-class beauty.
Zhou Li waited outside and looked at the girl who was running toward him after putting on makeup. He felt dazed.
She was still the same as when she was in high school. She was still fair and beautiful, exuding vitality and youth.
They entered the elevator.
An Rui told Zhou Li about her work schedule today. “I’m going to the beach to take a few sets of photos in the morning, practice my songs in the afternoon, and have dinner with a producer from a variety show. I might not have time to date you today!”
Zhou Li smiled warmly. “It’s alright. Call me when you’re done and I’ll pick you up.”
An Rui approached Zhou Li, wanting to hug his arm and wheedle when the elevator suddenly stopped.
A woman dressed sexily walked in.
An Rui had some impression of the woman. She seemed to be that neighbor, Miss Yu.
She had given dumplings to Zhou Li before.
Miss Yu walked into the elevator and her eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Li.
“Dr Zhou, are you going to work?” Miss Yu was not affected by the rejection last time. She looked at Zhou Li with a smile and sized him up from head to toe.
Zhou Li usually only wore a white shirt and pants to work. The fitting fabric wrapped around his tall body and the buttons were buttoned neatly, making him look clean and abstinent.
Zhou Li nodded at Miss Yu as a response to her question.
Miss Yu automatically ignored An Rui’s existence and walked between the two of them. She raised her beautiful chin and looked at Zhou Li without blinking. “Doctor Zhou, I sprained my foot that day and it has been aching for the past two days. I don’t know what happened. Can I trouble you to take a look at it?”
That coquettish voice made An Rui, who was beside her, have goosebumps.
She crossed her arms and looked at Miss Yu with interest.
Zhou Li’s eyes were clear and he looked straight ahead, not glancing at Miss Yu. He said calmly, “Miss Yu can go to the hospital to register if you’re feeling unwell, but the number for my consultation room has been full the past few days.”
Miss Yu’s expression immediately darkened.
Wasn’t this Doctor Zhou being too disrespectful?
She was one of the top beauties in the district, right? She had never suffered such a defeat before!
“Dr Zhou, can’t I take some of your private space? Can I treat you to dinner tonight?”
Impatience appeared in Zhou Li’s eyes. He ignored Miss Yu and glanced at An Rui.
Seeing her act like a bystander, his eyebrows twitched.
He walked around Miss Yu to An Rui’s side and grabbed her slender fingers. “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at how good my boyfriend is!”
Zhou Li tightened his grip on An Rui’s fingers and An Rui glared at him. “What are you doing? It hurts.”
Miss Yu, who was standing by the side, was staring fixedly.
When Zhou Li was facing her, he looked distant and cold, but in front of that woman, he looked like he was being eaten alive.
Was this really the Doctor Zhou she knew?
“No… the two of you…” Miss Yu looked at their intertwined fingers and she frowned, saying in confusion, “Dr Zhou, isn’t she your high school classmate? The two of you are just acting, right? Even if you want to reject me, there’s no need to act with your classmate, right?”
An Rui looked at the suspicious Miss Yu and leaned her slender body against Zhou Li. “Miss Yu, when did you see us acting?”
Miss Yu waved her hand. “Alright, alright. Do you think I don’t know Dr Zhou? Yesterday, the management staff told me that Dr Zhou is single…”
Before Miss Yu could finish, she saw the girl leaning in Zhou Li’s arms raise her head and kiss his lips.
Not only was Miss Yu stunned, even Zhou Li froze.
“Y-You really…”
“Yes, we really got together last night.” An Rui smiled and blinked.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Miss Yu walked out with a dark expression.
An Rui took a few steps forward. Seeing that Zhou Li was still standing in the elevator, she walked over and pulled him out.
“Why? Are you feeling uncomfortable helping you chase away a woman you love?”
Zhou Li looked at An Rui with dark eyes. “It has nothing to do with her. I thought you wouldn’t be outside with me…”
She worked in the entertainment industry and had to keep most of her private life a secret.
Besides, they were high school classmates and had just gotten together. He thought she would ask for an underground relationship.
“I’m invisible now. Who cares about my relationship?” An Rui narrowed her eyes. “Or, you don’t dare to reveal it to me?”
She could understand if he had his concerns.
An Rui bit her lip, wanting to say something when Zhou Li patted her head lightly. “As long as it doesn’t affect you, I’m lucky to be with you!”
An Rui laughed at his serious expression.
After getting into the car, he sent her to the beach where the photos were taken.
An Rui looked at the man who was driving seriously. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and his side profile was well-defined, looking fresh and gentle.
The watch on her left wrist was neat, clean and abstinent.
He was really good-looking and had a strong aura. Why didn’t anyone notice him in school before?
Fortunately, she had found out. Why did she have such good taste?
An Rui stared at Zhou Li for a while before her phone rang.
In the high school WeChat group, the monitor had tagged everyone. He was holding a wedding in his hometown next month and invited everyone to his hometown.
“Xia Fan is getting married. On the eighth of next month, he tagged everyone in the group.”
Zhou Li nodded. “I heard that Monitor Xia and his wife were childhood sweethearts.”
“Yes, I’ve seen him once. He’s quite pretty and soft.” An Rui looked at Zhou Li’s well-defined side profile and bit her lip lightly. “Do you want to go with me then?”
Zhou Li’s breathing tightened.
He looked at An Rui and touched her bright almond-shaped eyes. He swallowed. “Are you willing to announce our relationship in front of our high school classmates?”
An Rui replied, “As long as you don’t mind me talking to Shen Mingxiu, I’m fine with anything!”
