The Murderous Diary of a Female Doctor

Chapter 8

I felt my eyes getting hot. At such a happy and exciting moment for Hu Li, as her good friend, it was understandable that I lost my composure a bit.

I knew my loss of composure wasn't because of her. No one could make me cry anymore these days.

Someone came over to me and handed me a tissue. Her fingers were delicate, with nails painted an alluring purple that set off her fair hands, also somewhat attractively. It was Qing Qing.

She loved decorating her nails, after all, as a doctor in the radiology department, she could have long nails, not like me with all ten fingers bare.

"Can't get married anymore? Feeling provoked?" Qing Qing said.

As usual, I didn't know how to respond to her words, so I just took the tissue from her hand and wiped my mouth.

"If you don't have ability, you can't blame others!" Qing Qing was very happy.

I was about to ask her what she meant, when Hu Li stuffed a huge bouquet she was holding into my arms. It was quite a big bouquet, and she used quite a bit of force, so I was a bit flustered trying to properly hold the flowers. Qing Qing had already confronted Hu Li.

"What do you mean? Shouldn't this bouquet be given to me? She doesn't even have a boyfriend, what's the point of her catching the bouquet? Isn't it my turn next?" Qing Qing said indignantly.

Hu Li humphed, took the flowers back from my arms and stuffed them into Qing Qing's arms, "Take them, take them, I wish you success!"

Qing Qing was furious now: "What do you mean? Giving it to her first then to me? I'm not some rag picker..."

She wanted to say more, but Hu Li had already pushed her towards the cake, "Look at you, impatient again. This fairy drifting around in confusion all day, don't fall flat on your face when the time comes..."

I listened to their back and forth bickering, just like when we were in school. Qing Qing could never beat Hu Li, yet loved to provoke her. Hu Li effortlessly parried Qing Qing's attacks, always striking her speechless.

At this time, Song Qi walked over and handed me a cup.

"I saw you liked this drink last time," he looked at me, "I added two ice cubes like you said, see if it's the taste you wanted?"

He seemed a bit off, awkward and embarrassed, hmm, like being shy about asking to borrow money.

But I didn't think my salary would be enough for him to borrow and use for a few days.

"It's all my fault, don't blame Qing Qing, it was me..." He seemed to have trouble getting the words out.

When talking about him and Qing Qing, Hu Li also acted a bit strange, so I was confused. Therefore, I took the cup, therefore I asked directly: "Mr. Song, is there some misunderstanding?"

Song Qi was tongue-tied, stuttering: "I failed to live up to your kindness..."

I did want to hear him finish, but he kept stammering. I wasn't a worm in his stomach, I really couldn't guess what he was trying to say.

I wanted to go over to Hu Li.

Luckily, Li Zhiyuan came over then to break the awkwardness.

"Baozhu, Song Qi seems to have some misunderstanding with you." Li Zhiyuan looked at me and said, "Last time at Wangji Bar, when you two had a blind date..."

Finally I understood, so I explained carefully: "Are you talking about when Chief Physician Liu stood me up? Chief Physician Liu wanted to keep up with the trends and took me to Wangji Bar to watch the NBA Finals streaming, but she had an emergency and didn't go. I happened to meet Mr. Song there and we watched a game together."

Song Qi's expression was quite interesting, but it had nothing to do with me.

So Chief Physician Liu didn't stand me up, she was trying to play matchmaker.

I didn't need a matchmaker. All marriages in this world were exploitation and plunder of women, without exception.

Moreover, I had a purpose for going there that time.

Across from Wangji Bar was a person who was my target, my one unwavering target.
