My Youth Began With Him - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: The Night Shift

"Eh… Mr . Liu, that… I'm terribly sorry, I can't accept your offer . " Huo Mian had only wanted to teach a lesson to Lin Mingyu, this pretentious guy who looked down on those with lesser education .
  
She never thought that he would end up falling for her and ask her to be his girlfriend .

"Why not? We're very compatible, are we not? With your knowledge in forensics, we would have a lot to talk about, and after we get married, I can even send you to study in the United States . Once you become a doctor, with your talent, you'd have no problem in becoming an ophthalmologist or neurosurgeon . It's totally possible! You're still so young so you should have dreams like these, no?"

"You're mistaken, my dream is just to be a nurse . Ha, right now I am very happy with where I'm at . I don't want to study abroad, nor do I want to become a doctor . "

"Why not?" Lin Mingyu asked for the second time .

"Everyone walks a different path, and no one has the right to decide someone else's path . I'm very thankful that you think so highly of me, but those things are not what I want . As for being your girlfriend, I must apologize, but I've come today to explain that I'm already taken; I have a boyfriend . The head nurse didn't give me the chance to explain my situation to her and ended up with the misunderstanding . I am sorry for all the inconvenience that I caused, but I don't want to lie to anyone, so I am telling you everything . "

"You have a boyfriend already?" Lin Mingyu was slightly disappointed .

"Yes, the head nurse thought that I was still upset over my previous breakup, so she introduced us to each other out of the goodness of her heart, but I already have a boyfriend . He's my high school classmate, someone I've known for many years, and we have an excellent relationship . "

"Nothing is set in stone before marriage, so don't make any conclusions so quickly . " Lin Mingyu was unwilling to give up yet .

Huo Mian smiled with her lips pressed into a line…

"I was a bit too forward with my words just now, even showing off in front of you, a forensics expert, of what little knowledge I know . I want to apologize, and please don't take my words too seriously . "

"No, I'm the one that must apologize . Your words today shocked me and altered the way I see things . I'll never use a person's educational background to judge them in the future . " Lin Mingyu felt great respect towards Huo Mian .

"If that's true, then that's great . I hope that things will go well for your job and life in the future . " Huo Mian got up to leave .


 
"Huo Mian, can we be friends?" Lin Mingyu suddenly asked from behind .

Huo Mian didn't say anything or even turn around . She only raised her right index and middle fingers to make a peace sign .

Lin Mingyu smiled… This was the most special blind date he had been on in all these years .

After returning to the hospital, the head nurse immediately dragged Huo Mian into her office and quietly asked, "What do you think? How was my cousin?"

"Great . "

"So are you guys together now?" the head nurse asked anxiously .


 
"Um… No, sorry, Head Nurse, we're not suitable for each other . "

The head nurse was mildly disappointed, "No worries, if there are any other good ones in the future, I'll introduce you . "

"No, it's fine . I already have a boyfriend, Head Nurse . "

"Already? Who is it?"

"Um… my high school classmate . "

"You kids, really . Why do you all like to look back and date your high school and middle school classmates, is there a point?" the head nurse lamented .



Huo Mian just smiled…

That night, while eating dinner at the hospital cafeteria, Huo Mian and Huang Yue were in the middle of a conversation when a female doctor talking nearby caught Huo Mian's attention .

She said, "GK's new President is crazy . He announced today that for the following week, everyone will take the days off and work at night! What a weirdo! Now my boyfriend has to work night shifts all week . I finally didn't have to work night shifts this week, but I can't believe our schedules switched . "

"Huh? What a weirdo . This is the first time I've heard of a company that works at night . Does the president think his employees are plants, why do they have to work only at night? That sounds like torture . "

Hearing all this, Huo Mian felt unsettled . Qin Chu's orders . . . they didn't have anything to do with her, right?

With that thought, she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Qin Chu .
