His predecessor failed

Chapter 128 Keep your distance

Su Zhuzhu had never thought that performing surgery on Dr. Zhu would attract a romantic partner. She had carefully considered how to deal with this situation without hurting the relationship, but after thinking about it, she found that Dr. Zhu had never expressed his feelings to her. He always came under the pretext of thanking Dr. Su, so she had no way to refuse.

Ever since she knew Zhu Ye's thoughts, she was not very willing to have more contact with Zhu Ye. However, having dinner together today was a good opportunity, so she did not reject Zhu Ye's proposal to have dinner together in time.

Now Su Zhuzhu is waiting for her friends to ask her about her visit to the army to visit her relatives, so that they can naturally bring up He Qiaojin and show that she already has a partner. Zhu Ye is obviously a black-bellied type, and his attack power is very strong. If she waits for him to confess and then refuses, it may be more difficult to deal with him. It is better to let him know inadvertently that she already has a partner to avoid embarrassment when they see each other in the future, and also to save face for Captain Zhu. Men should value face.

After all, Su Zhuzhu is still in charge of Mr. Zhu's health, and they will definitely meet every day in the next few days. She doesn't intend to break this window paper, so now she is secretly waiting for someone to bring up this topic first. It would be bad for her to bring it up for no reason, as it would be too deliberate.

Everyone was eating and drinking, and the meal was almost over, but Su Zhuzhu still didn't get to hear the topic she was expecting. What was wrong with these three people? Didn't they care at all about how she was doing in the army?

Seeing that the plate was almost empty, Su Zhuzhu could only desperately wink at Liu Yuanyuan, hoping that the tacit understanding between them for so long could understand her.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at Su Zhuzhu with a confused look on her face as her eyes twitched, and they were twitching towards her. Even a fool could know that Zhuzhu was hinting at her, but what was she hinting at? There was nothing special about it. Everyone was chatting happily and eating well. When she looked down, she saw two pieces of ribs on the plate. She couldn't help but picked up one with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Wow! Liu Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed because of the delicious taste. The salt and pepper spareribs are so delicious that they make people dizzy. The ribs are tender and juicy, and the crispy bones can be chewed. I wonder if Zhuzhu can make it. If she can, we can eat it often in the future.

Liu Yuanyuan was busy tasting her salt and pepper spareribs, which made Su Zhuzhu very angry. What a foodie! It was a waste of time that they had been sisters for so long, but she couldn't understand her hints.

Liu Yuanyuan, who was chewing pork ribs, suddenly felt her arm pinched. She looked down and saw that it was Zhuzhu, who was sitting next to her, who was pinching her.

This time Liu Yuanyuan took it seriously. It turned out that Zhuzhu was really in trouble. But what could it be? She looked fine. After brainstorming for a minute, Liu Yuanyuan realized that it must be her period, and she didn't bring anything!

She said that Su Zhuzhu had been hinting at her, and if this was the reason, it made sense. It would be really difficult to talk about this matter in front of everyone, with three grown men sitting here, it would be too embarrassing. People at that time were still very taboo about this aspect.

Liu Yuanyuan, who thought she understood Su Zhuzhu, quietly moved her chair, moved closer and asked Su Zhuzhu directly if she had forgotten to bring anything, with an expression that said, "Sister, I understand you very well."

Su Zhuzhu was speechless. This idiot, isn't he usually quite smart?

Zhu Ye watched the eye contact between the two and wondered if he was too old. The more he looked at Su Zhuzhu, the cuter she found her. His eyes twitched just by her winking.

He is 28 years old this year and looks several years older than the girl. Thinking of this, he felt uneasy. He shouldn't mind the age issue. Although he is already 28, he has never had a boyfriend before and the number of female comrades he has even talked to can be counted on one hand.

Why did he only think about this issue today? Zhu Ye was full of confidence in other aspects. What should he do if the girl insisted on minding the age gap? According to what he had inquired in the past few days, Su Zhuzhu was not yet 20 years old, and the eight-year age gap was enough to create a generation gap.

This was the first time in all the years Zhu Ye had lived that he felt unconfident about himself.

However, Su Zhuzhu in front of her had completely given up hope on these guys. If she knew that these three teammates had specially agreed not to mention her visiting relatives in the army before they came, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Everyone has different thoughts while eating a meal, and Liu Yuanyuan was the happiest one. Although the living standards in the Red Star Brigade have improved a lot now, there are not many opportunities to go out to a restaurant and eat so many delicious foods. Now everyone in the brigade is busy and passionate, and no one has the time to think about going out every day.

After dinner, the group went straight back to the hospital. Liu Yuanyuan and the others checked on Su Zhuzhu and found no problem with her, so they planned to go back.

"Zhuzhu, no matter how long you are going to stay in the county, remember to call the brigade in advance. I will adjust the delivery time and pick you up."

Peng Aiguo, who is not a talkative person, still remembered to pick up Su Zhuzhu and take her back. This had to be arranged in advance to avoid missing her. Although there were buses from the county to the commune, it would take a lot of time to go around with the luggage, so it would be better for him to come and pick her up directly.

"Thank you, Brother Aiguo. I plan to go back in four days. I can basically finish everything here in another four days. There are still a lot of things to do in the team. I miss everyone and want to go back early."

Zhu Ye, who had been standing next to Su Zhuzhu, heard several people discussing returning to the Red Star Commune. If Su Zhuzhu wanted to go back, then there was no need for him to stay here, and he had to seize this opportunity.

Mr. Zhu: The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren cannot withstand any test, and he is still gasping for breath and has not been discharged from the hospital yet!

"I can take Doctor Su back on the way. I drove here, and I have to go back to the army in a few days. We are going in the same direction. You don't have to bother me. I will take Doctor Su back safely."

After getting to know each other over lunch, Zhu Ye's proposal instantly gained the support of the three people. The only one left who had no time to object was Su Zhuzhu. There was no need to ask her opinion at all. The few of them had already decided on the matter and then left. Anyway, they would see each other in a few days and there was no reason to be reluctant.

No one looked back!

Su Zhuzhu was really angry! Because Zhu Ye was beside her, she couldn't hurt these people. However, she also knew that she should make it clear to Zhu Ye as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings.

"Captain Zhu, you don't have to see me off. It's very convenient for me to take a car or have Brother Aiguo pick me up. Our brigade's medicinal materials processing factory often delivers goods to the hospital. You must be very busy, so don't worry about me."

Zhu Ye thought, the first time I took the initiative to take a vacation was all for you, how could I give up such a good opportunity?

"Zhuzhu, can I call you that? We are pretty familiar with each other. You can just call me Zhu Ye, or Brother Zhu."

Zhu Ye looked at the girl, who was a head shorter than him and looked petite in front of him, with an encouraging look and spoke softly.

Su Zhuzhu was about to be overwhelmed by such a look. After thinking about it, she decided to say it in a veiled way, which would be better than causing any misunderstanding.

"Brother Zhu, I'll call you that! I'm very grateful for the past few days. Brother Zhu has helped me a lot. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. Treating Mr. Zhu is my duty as a doctor. Just like you and my partner, you defend your country from the bottom of your heart. This is the glorious mission given to us by our profession."

Originally Zhu Ye was smiling and listening to Su Zhuzhu seriously and attentively, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Partner, Su Zhuzhu has a partner?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ye's heart sank suddenly. Su Zhuzhu's boyfriend was in the army like him, and his sinking heart seemed to be frozen in an instant. He almost didn't hear what Su Zhuzhu said next.

Su Zhuzhu looked at Zhu Ye whose expression changed and she was a little afraid to continue talking. She knew that what she said was a bit hurtful, but matters of the heart cannot be dragged out. The longer it is dragged on, the greater the harm will be.

"Zhuzhu, don't feel any psychological burden. I promised Zheng Qiwen and the others to send you back home. I will definitely do what I said. As for the rest, don't worry about it. I'll go see the old man first. You can go back to the office!"

Zhu Ye just wanted to sort out his thoughts quietly at the moment, so he said goodbye and left quickly.

Su Zhuzhu let out a long breath and finally said it out. It was really torturous. Captain Zhu must have understood what she meant. It was quite embarrassing to think that this was the first time she had explicitly rejected someone.

Su Zhuzhu was in a good mood after letting go of her mental burden. She went straight back to the dean's office to continue her own business. In the next few days, she only needed to write some materials, then go for a checkup with Mr. Zhu, and on the last day, she would see Mrs. Yuan again and prescribe some Chinese medicine to regulate her body.

As for the future, Mr. Zhu will definitely leave Qingfeng County after his health recovers. Mrs. Yuan can only ask her to go to the Red Star Brigade for follow-up examinations. However, there is no problem with a check-up once a month, and the prescription does not need to be changed frequently.

Mr. Zhu has recovered quite well, but Zhu Ye has been quite annoying these past two days.

"I say, why have you been sitting here in a daze these past two days? Why don't you go look for that girl Zhuzhu? Do you think I'm pretty and I think you're pretty?"

Mr. Zhu was not polite at all, but this was how the two of them had always communicated.

Zhu Ye looked up at the old man. He didn't want to cause trouble to the old man with these things, but he was really confused and had no one to talk to. If he was in the army, he could use up his energy, but here, forget it.

"If you have something to say, just say it. You are almost thirty years old, and you have become nagging after not seeing each other for a year. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will ask your teacher Yan if he is the one who made you like this."

"I'm not a child. How can I be led astray?" Zhu Ye replied unhappily. He already minded the fact that he was much older than Su Zhuzhu, and now he was stabbed by the old man again.

"Tell me, tell me. After all, I have eaten for decades longer than you. Maybe I can give you some advice."

Zhu Ye thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

"Old man, don't think I don't know why you called me here. You just wanted to match me up with Dr. Su. To tell you the truth, I really fell in love with Dr. Su at first sight. I saw Dr. Su at the door of the operating room just after you entered the operating room. I fell in love with him at first sight."

"Hehe, good fellow, you have good taste. What do you think? Your grandfather has good taste, right? If we can't bring such a good girl to our family, we will lose a lot."

Zhu Ye didn't say anything after hearing this, which made Mr. Zhu a little surprised.

"Why do you look like that? This isn't like you. Aren't you always careful about planning before taking action? Why haven't you made any progress in a few days?"

Zhu Ye looked up at the old man and said in a deep voice, "Old man, Dr. Su already has a partner. Didn't you find out clearly before doing anything?"

This made Mr. Zhu choke.

"She has a partner? That's impossible. How old is this girl? Didn't Jiang Jun ask around, and she didn't say she has a partner!"

"Jiang Jun, go check it out carefully and see what's going on."

Before Dr. Zhu underwent surgery, Jiang Jun investigated Su Zhuzhu's situation. The information sent over showed that she was unmarried. All the information was very clear and understandable. Dr. Su was the educated youth who came from Su City.

But since Zhu Ye said so, there must have been something wrong, or the last investigation was not thorough enough.

After receiving the order, Jiang Jun immediately assigned the task of investigating Su Zhuzhu. This time the requirements were particularly detailed, especially regarding Dr. Su's personal emotional issues.

Zhu Ye believed what Su Zhuzhu said and wanted to speak up to stop it. No matter how you look at it, it was an invasion of Dr. Su's privacy, so he thought it was better to mind his own business.

But he didn't say anything. There was always a voice in his heart urging him to check it out. Maybe it was all fake.

Just like that, before Zhu Ye, who was half a second late, had the chance to open the door, Jiang Jun had already gone out to arrange the work.

"Okay, stop standing there. Zhuzhu is a good girl. I've never heard her mention her before. Don't think too much about it. I'll ask her in detail when Zhuzhu comes to check on me."

Mr. Zhu had seen Zhu Ye in high spirits before, but he had rarely seen him like this before. Moreover, the older Zhu Ye got, the more he resisted lesbianism and marriage and childbirth. It was a rare opportunity for the iron tree to bloom, so he had to make things clear.

Su Zhuzhu usually makes rounds at five o'clock in the afternoon, so she can also remind Mr. Zhu of his dietary standards. The old man has a very picky taste and a strong appetite, and his health is not good, so he needs to be coaxed a little. Once his health recovers, he can do whatever he wants and eat whatever he wants.

"Zhuzhu, that boy Zhu Ye said you have a girlfriend?"

Su Zhuzhu didn't expect that there would be any follow-up to this matter. Even Mr. Zhu came to ask her about it, but she answered honestly that she did have a partner.

Then Zhu and his group all knew that Su Zhuzhu had a boyfriend. Su Zhuzhu's boyfriend was also in the army and lived thousands of miles away.

When Mr. Zhu and his colleagues first came to the county hospital, they couldn't contact Su Zhuzhu at all because Su Zhuzhu had gone to visit her relatives in the army.

At this time, Jiang Jun came in, looked at the people in the room, then walked to the head of the old man's bed, leaned over and whispered to Mr. Zhu's ear the result of his search. It turned out that Su Zhuzhu's information did say that she was unmarried.
