Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Love at First Sight in Medicine (Part 36)

Shortly after Han Jing went inside, Chuzheng met Mu Keke again.

Mu Keke didn’t know what she was doing, she had lost a lot of weight, and looked like she wasn’t having a good time.

She was standing by the street, bowing her head and speaking to someone, but the person opposite was angrily arguing. In the end, they didn’t come to an agreement and parted ways unhappily.

Chuzheng said: As long as you’re having a hard time, I’m at ease.

Chuzheng wandered to Yuk Jian’s office, just about to enter when she heard voices coming from inside.

”Doctor Yuk, you should consider this seriously. It will help you in the future; don’t make a decision you’ll regret. There’s still half a month left to apply, so think it over again.”

Chuzheng remembered this voice, it was the hospital director’s...

Just as Chuzheng pictured the director’s face, the director appeared in front of her. Seeing her standing outside, he was momentarily stunned, then smiled: ”Miss Mi.”

”What did you ask him to consider?” Chuzheng asked the director.

”Oh, it’s about studying abroad,” the director, aware that Chuzheng and Yuk Jian were dating, replied: ”You’re his girlfriend, so help me persuade him. Such opportunities are rare; it would be a shame to miss it.”

Yuk Jian didn’t want to go abroad because of Chuzheng.

He couldn’t leave her alone in the country.

For this matter, Yuk Jian was constantly getting brainwashed by both the director and Doctor Hou.

Yuk Jian was troubled and couldn’t express it even at home.

”Baby?”

Yuk Jian scanned the house feeling particularly empty, and a sense of unease crept inside him.

”Baby?”

He checked all the rooms, didn’t see her, furrowed his brows, and was about to use his phone to find her when he noticed something under his gaze on the table.

There was a filled-out application form and a plane ticket, along with a printed paper slip.

[See you in Country M]

Yuk Jian: ”!!!”

He turned around, opened the wardrobe, and found some clothes were missing, along with the luggage.

With trembling fingers, Yuk Jian dialed Chuzheng’s phone number.

– Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off.

The cold prompt came from the phone.

Crazy... Has she gone mad?

How is she going!!

How can she go alone!

Yuk Jian rushed out the door straight to the airport.

Chuzheng hadn’t taken a plane at all; she wouldn’t risk her life like that. She was on a cruise, and her phone was off because its battery ran out.

Once it was charged, Chuzheng’s phone was flooded with message notifications.

There were missed call alerts, and messages from Yuk Jian.

Buzz buzz—

Yuk Jian’s name suddenly popped up.

Chuzheng answered and the man’s voice from the other end was hoarse with suppressed emotion: ”Baby? Where are you?”

”On the cruise.” Chuzheng paused: ”Why are you crying?”

The sound from Yuk Jian’s side was chaotic, airport announcements could be heard distantly.

There was no response from the other side for a while, just his breathing as the noise faded away.

”Why didn’t you tell me?”

”I left you a note.”

”Why didn’t you discuss it with me?”

”You wouldn’t agree.” Chuzheng leaned against the cruise railing, and the sound of waves passed through the phone, reaching the other side.

”Why wouldn’t I agree? Do you... do you even care about your own life?!”

Yuk Jian’s tone was slightly severe.

”Yuk Jian, this opportunity shouldn’t be wasted,” Chuzheng’s voice was gentle: ”You have to be responsible for my future life.”

Beep beep beep—

Yuk Jian abruptly hung up the phone.

Chuzheng: ”???” Hung up, hung up my call!

A minute later, Yuk Jian sent a text message.

[I will be responsible for your future life.]

-

The cruise took a long time; Chuzheng arrived at her destination more than two months later.

As she followed the crowd off, one glimpse caught sight of the man standing among people. Even with a mask on, he stood out.

Chuzheng dragged her suitcase out, and the man walked forward silently, taking her luggage.

Chuzheng tilted her head slightly to look at him: ”Still angry?”

Yuk Jian pulled off his mask, his palm supporting the back of Chuzheng’s head, kissed her lips with restraint and composure, then withdrew.

Yuk Jian whispered: ”No next time.”

Chuzheng: ”Aren’t I perfectly fine now?”

”Miss Mi, I hope you understand that accidents won’t avoid happening due to your confidence.”

Yuk Jian seemed a bit like the formal and business-like Doctor Yuk she first met, calm yet objective.

Yuk Jian’s voice suddenly shifted, deep and suppressed: ”Do you know how I’ve been spending my nights lately?”

He was constantly anxious about her getting into an accident.

Chuzheng shook her head: ”I don’t know.”

Yuk Jian took a deep breath, raised his hand to gently touch her head: ”Let’s head home first.”

-

Initially, Yuk Jian had an assigned apartment, but it required sharing which was inconvenient, so he found another one himself.

Everything in the apartment was prepared, just waiting for Chuzheng to arrive.

One night, Chuzheng carried her pillow and knocked on Yuk Jian’s door.

Yuk Jian wasn’t asleep yet, he came out with his clothes thrown on, naturally concerned: ”What’s wrong? Not used to it?”

Chuzheng with her pillow walked right in.

”Baby?”

”Xiao Chu!”

Chuzheng tossed her pillow on the bed and lay straight down.

Yuk Jian stood by the bed, one hand on his waist, wanting to be angry but unable to express it.

”Baby, I’m still angry!”

”Oh.” Chuzheng lay sideways, feeling aggrieved yet showing no expression on her face: ”I’ll just sleep halfway, won’t interrupt your anger.”

”...” What does it mean not to interrupt him being angry?

Yuk Jian rubbed his temples, stared at Chuzheng’s back for a long time, finally shut the door and lay back in bed.

”Baby, come over.”

”Aren’t you angry?” To get beaten up? But I’m sick!

Yuk Jian held back, sighed: ”Alright, I’m not angry anymore.”

Chuzheng turned around, Yuk Jian pulled her into his arms, kissed her forehead: ”Baby, I know you’re doing this for me, but to me, none of these things are more important than you.”

Chuzheng paused, asking quite seriously: ”If you don’t study, how will you cure me?”

Yuk Jian: ”...”

Couldn’t continue the conversation.

Sooner or later, talking to her would give him a heart attack.

To avoid a heart attack, Yuk Jian decided to keep quiet.

The study period for Yuk Jian was two years, sometimes it was busy but mostly leisurely.

In these two years, Chuzheng’s illness worsened once, but timely medical attention and the help of an internationally renowned professor soon stabilized her condition.

After this incident, Yuk Jian took much stricter care of her, almost wanting to carry her in his pocket always.

Those who were studying with Yuk Jian all knew he had a little girlfriend.

When this little girlfriend came over, she could chat quite well with them without any language barriers. She didn’t speak much but always listened earnestly regardless if she understood or not...

Every time, Yuk Jian would leave with a dark look carrying Chuzheng away.

Yet, apart from building up resentment, he couldn’t do anything to her, not even able to raise his voice once.
