Zhou Li helped Shen Mingxiu out of the washroom.
Shen Anyu told him about An Rui’s call.
After Zhou Li helped Shen Mingxiu to the bed, he picked up his phone from the cabinet.
He strode out.
Seeing Zhou Li, who was usually calm, rush out, she frowned. “It’s just a call from your girlfriend. Do you have to be so agitated?”
Shen Mingxiu glanced at Shen Anyu with a dark expression. “You’re not talking nonsense on the phone, are you?”
“What nonsense am I talking about? I love Dr Zhou and he has no feelings for me.” Thinking of the defeat she had suffered from Zhou Li, Shen Anyu felt depressed.
Zhou Li took his phone and walked to the secluded garden.
He called An Rui back.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
He frowned. Did Shen Anyu say something that made her misunderstand?
Zhou Li made another call.
The call went through after two rings.
“Ruirui, don’t misunderstand. The person who answered the call is…”
“Dr Zhou?”
Xiaohe’s voice trailed from the other end of the call.
Zhou Li’s unfinished words stopped.
“Xiaohe?”
“Yes, it’s me. Ruirui went in to rehearse and handed her phone to me.”
Zhou Li suppressed the faint disappointment in his heart and said gently, “If you see Ruirui, help me explain. I just helped a patient to the washroom and it was his sister who answered the call. I have nothing to do with her.”
“Okay.”
When Zhou Li returned to the ward, Shen Anyu was sitting on the sofa watching TV and did not notice Zhou Li’s dark expression.
“Brother, I’m calling this young lady, An Rui. Look, isn’t she beautiful?”
“The people in my dormitory said that I look a little like her!”
Zhou Li stopped.
He turned his head and looked at the TV screen.
She saw several young and beautiful girls wearing fitting red dresses dancing on the stage.
An Rui stood in the middle and Zhou Li was stunned for a few seconds when he saw her.
An Rui had dyed her hair and the ends of her hair were wavy. Her eye makeup was sparkling, her lips were red and her smile was bright, shining on the stage.
Zhou Li’s gaze on her darkened.
“Brother, send a message to your company’s staff and ask them to help me invest in this young lady!”
Shen Mingxiu glanced at Shen Anyu, who was on the sofa. If she knew that the person who called her a few minutes ago was this person on TV, what would she think?
Shen Mingxiu looked at An Rui, who was becoming more and more like a celebrity, with mixed feelings.
It was strange. When he saw her kissing Zhou Li that day, he was so jealous that he wanted to rush forward, pull them apart and beat Zhou Li up!
But now, he could face the fact that she was Zhou Li’s girlfriend!
Of course, it could not be denied that Zhou Li had helped him during this period.
He had never seen such a selfless person who could tolerate his bad temper without arguing with him.
If he was a woman, he would also choose such a man, right?
After An Rui’s performance, Zhou Li realized that Shen Mingxiu was looking at him.
Shen Anyu received a call and she went to the balcony to answer it.
Zhou Li walked to the bed and met Shen Mingxiu’s eyes.
“That’s another thing. I won’t take a step back when it comes to An Rui.” Zhou Li looked at Shen Mingxiu with a gentle but firm expression.
Shen Mingxiu looked up at the ceiling. After a while, he said, “You’re like a frog boiling in warm water. You’ve already killed my desire to be your love rival. If I still snatch it from you, am I still human?”
When Zhou Li heard Shen Mingxiu’s words, a warm smile appeared on his lips. “Old Shen, you will meet someone better in the future.”
Shen Mingxiu rolled his eyes. “Of course!”
If Shen Mingxiu looked down on Zhou Li in the past, thinking that Zhou Li could not compare to him in all aspects apart from studying, then after this incident, he really felt that he was a fool and a frog at the bottom of a well.
Why did he say that?
He realized that Zhou Li knew four languages. When the specialists in the hospital talked to him, he could handle them easily. When he talked about his field of expertise, his eyes shone with confidence that was not inferior to An Rui’s on stage.
This was a man who exuded a unique charm from the inside out.
After interacting with him, it was normal for women to like him.
After Shen Anyu finished the call, she ran into the ward and shouted, “Brother, I sent you a link. Hurry up and vote for my Pick girl.”
Shen Mingxiu connected to the company chat and then looked at Zhou Li by the bed, sending him a link.
“You won’t be jealous about this, right?”
Zhou Li replied, “No.”
Shen Mingxiu snorted. “How should I put it? If I hadn’t been a fool back then, you really wouldn’t have this chance.”
“I know.”
Shen Mingxiu did not want to recall the past and waved his hand. “I used to think that there was no man more suitable for her than me. But after what happened this time, I found that you are indeed better and more suitable for her than me.”
Zhou Li was a little surprised to hear Shen Mingxiu’s words.
A faint smile appeared in his dark eyes under the lenses. “When I got married to her, I was able to get your blessings. I think this is the best gift.”
“Scram. I don’t want to go to your wedding.” Shen Mingxiu turned his head, his expression extremely awkward. “I was like a fool before Xia Fan’s wedding. I’m really sorry for that day.”
Zhou Li looked at Shen Mingxiu and sighed slightly. “Actually, you should say this to An Rui.”
“She feels disgusted when she sees me now. She probably doesn’t want to hear me say this.”
“No, she did.” Zhou Li pulled a chair and sat by the bed, saying gently, “I saw the past between you and her. I know that you really liked each other in the past. After what happened, you didn’t apologize to her sincerely and didn’t think that you were wrong. You did hurt her heart.”
Hearing Zhou Li’s words, Shen Mingxiu lowered his head in shame.
“I’ve never seen someone like you. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll apologize to her and restore our relationship?”
Zhou Li smirked and smiled slightly. “We’re high school classmates. Do we have to be enemies after three years of friendship? Besides, I believe her. Even if it’s not me, it won’t be you.”
It hurt!
Shen Mingxiu picked up the pillow and threw it at Zhou Li!
….
Ever since her first stage performance, An Rui’s popularity had been high.
Usually, apart from recording the program and rehearsing, she had to film advertisements and be interviewed.
On this day, the top few contestants were interviewed by the Capital Television Station.
Unexpectedly, the host was a beauty that could be remembered at a glance.
An Rui had a deep impression of this beauty. She had seen her when she went to the Capital University to look for Tiantian.
