Jiang Beiyuan’s expression was icy as he answered coldly, “I’ve said before that I do not deal with formalities.”

“But you can’t go too overboard with this either! Everyone has written at least 20,000 to 30,000 words, but you wrote only 200 words and you are done with it! Don’t you want to be deputy head?”

“I don’t.”

“Oh dear. Fine, stop throwing a tantrum like a child. Write at least 10,000 words for me by next Monday. If everyone can do it, why can’t you? So that’s settled, I’ll be off now!”

Without giving Jiang Beiyuan a chance to respond, Wang Shuang rushed off.

Jiang Beiyuan sneered.

Throwing a tantrum like a child?

If he truly wanted to throw a tantrum, he wouldn’t even have written 200 words for him.

…

“Dr. Jiang has been asked to re-write his academic thesis by the department head!” read the post on the hospital forum.

Everything regarding Jiang Beiyuan constantly spread across the hospital like a wildfire.

Or perhaps one could say that there were always people who crushed on him and wanted to know everything about him.

Therefore, Yu Lili came in in the afternoon with her golden hair, red lips, and fair skin.

She had just dyed her hair gold a few days ago. Now, her hair shone brightly under the reflection of the sunlight.

However, Jiang Beiyuan did not care and was not bothered by the change in her hair.

Yu Lili brewed a cup of rich black coffee and placed it gently on Jiang Beiyuan’s office desk. The aroma of the drink filled the room.

“Is something the matter?”

Jiang Beiyuan did not raise his gaze as he continued to fill out a medical report.

His handwriting danced across the paper as he held his pen stably. The arcs in his handwriting showcased Jiang Beiyuan’s own personal spirit.

Yu Lili glanced at the words he wrote and couldn’t help but bite her lips. She loved Jiang Beiyuan’s stylish handwriting. “I heard that the department head has punished you to re-write your thesis. Ten thousand words isn’t easy for you, right? Do you want me to write it for you instead?”

“There’s no need.”

A cold and detached voice had left his lips. Even his posture was icy as he kept his head down. His behavior gave off the words: “Strangers are not allowed.”

Oh, yeah.

This was Jiang Beiyuan’s fickle way of treating outsiders.

Yu Lili nibbled her lips but was not left feeling awkward. She continued to mind her own business as she said, “Isn’t writing a thesis what you consider a formality? I can help you do things you are unwilling to. It wouldn’t be a loss to you.”

Bam—

Jiang Beiyuan snapped the report shut and placed his pen down after writing. “If there’s nothing else, please leave. I am very busy.”

His deep-set eyes were brimming with coldness. They seemed to be glazed over by a blurry haze.

These were signs that he was feeling unhappy.

In all honesty, Jiang Beiyuan extremely detested irrelevant people poking their noses into his business.

Yu Lili bit her lips as she said, “I brewed coffee for you. Please have a drink. I heard that you have a surgery coming up later, so don’t tire yourself out.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Jiang Beiyuan’s tone was languid, yet it was laced with a tinge of coldness. “I am cutting down on black coffee. But Zhang Fan likes it, you can let him have it instead.”

Zhang Fan, who had been checking the wards, unexpectedly let out a sneeze.

Who was thinking about him?

Awkwardness finally graced Yu Lili’s face. However, she still remained stubborn and refused to leave. She asked in a gentle voice, “Haven’t you always loved to drink black coffee from university ’til now? Why are you not drinking it anymore?”

“Mrs. Jiang loves cappuccino, so I love that now too.”

Was he falling in love with things just because his lover liked them?

Yu Lili secretly pinched her finger until her fingertip was white.

“I do not approve of a romance where one changes themselves for others.”

“This is my romance. I do not need you to worry about it”

Jiang Beiyuan’s patience ran thin as he grabbed his white coat that was hanging by the rack and turned around, ready to leave.

As he walked past Yu Lili, she couldn’t miss the chill in his eyes and the unhidden sharpness they held.

Her heart was filled with anger, born from an accumulated mixture of her endurance, jealousy, and melancholy all these years. At the exact moment Jiang Beiyuan had opened the door, Yu Lili boldly hugged him from the back.

“Your romance is also my romance! Since year two in university until now, I’ve liked you for a whole seven years! Why can’t you just spare me a glance?!”
