Ning Xi noticed the girl's unfriendly gaze and subconsciously moved closer to Ye Wuyou. Ye Wuyou calmly placed his hand on Ning Xi's shoulder.

Seeing this, the girl's jealousy intensified. She forced a smile, looked at Ning Xi and asked, "Who is this?"

Ye Wuyou answered first: "This is Ning Xi, my...friend."

After saying this, he glanced at Ning Xi slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes that was not easily noticed by others.

The girl snorted.

"My friend, Doctor Ye, you are so busy with work and it's rare for you to come out and relax, but you didn't even invite me. I thought we were very close, after all, you took good care of me when I was seeing you before."

Her tone was full of grievance and anger.

Ye Wuyou frowned slightly, his tone still polite but distant: "As long as you recover, I'm out here mainly to relax, and I don't think too much about it."

Ning Xi listened to the girl's sarcastic words. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still remained polite and said with a smile: "Hello, since you are the dean's patient, I believe you are in good health. I wish you good health."

The girl rolled her eyes at Ning Xi and ignored her blessing. She turned to Ye Wuyou and said, "Doctor Ye, I always feel that I have some minor health problems recently. How about you take a closer look at me?" As she spoke, she coughed twice pretending to be weak.

Ye Wuyou sighed helplessly, "If you really feel unwell, you should go to the hospital to make an appointment and get a comprehensive examination. I'm off work now, so it's not convenient for me to diagnose you."

Seeing Ye Wuyou’s firm attitude, the girl decided not to pester him any further, but she was unwilling to leave just like that.

Her eyes suddenly fell on the couple bracelets they were wearing, and her face instantly turned pale. "Oh, this bracelet is pretty, it's a couple bracelet, right? Doctor Ye, when did you start liking to wear these little gadgets?"

Ye Wuyou was slightly startled, and subconsciously held Ning Xi's hand tightly, and said frankly: "This is the prize we just won after passing the escape room. Wear it as a souvenir."

The girl smiled sarcastically, "In memory of someone? Doctor Ye, don't be fooled by someone like that. Who knows if she has some other purpose in approaching you."

Ning Xi couldn't help herself after hearing this. She looked at the girl firmly, "What do you mean by that?"

The girl crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and her eyes were full of provocation.

"Humph, you don't understand what I mean? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you like Doctor Ye and try to get close to him to climb the social ladder? Look at you, you look so seductive, and you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

Ning Xi's face flushed with anger. She clenched her fists tightly and her body trembled slightly. "Watch your mouth! I respect his kindness as a doctor and will not tolerate your malicious speculation and slander!"

Seeing this, Ye Wuyou's face instantly darkened. He strode in front of Ning Xi and protected her tightly behind him, his eyes filled with cold anger, "Shut up! My tolerance for you ends here."

The girl was frightened by Ye Wuyou's powerful aura and shrank her neck unconsciously, but still held her neck stubbornly.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to organize her words, but her throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and she could not break through the barrier.

She wanted to tell him that she liked him!

But why can’t I say it?

Her eyes became redder and tears rolled stubbornly inside them.

Ning Xi looked at her struggling in pain and felt a little bit of pity in her heart. She was about to say something to persuade her, but Ye Wuyou gently pulled her behind him to protect her.

His eyes were still cold, but his tone was a little more impatient than before: "Stop making trouble, today's matter ends here, don't bother us again in the future."

The girl seemed to be hit hard by these straightforward and cruel words. Her body shook violently and tears finally burst out of her eyes, falling to the ground in big drops.

She opened her mouth and uttered a broken and choked voice from her throat: "I... I just..."

However, the following words were eventually swallowed up by the surging emotions and dissipated into the air.

Ye Wuyou frowned slightly and did not respond to her. He just took Ning Xi's hand and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the girl suddenly shouted hysterically:

"Ye Wuyou, I have liked you for a long time! From the first time you spoke to me gently and asked about my condition patiently, I fell in love with you. I worked hard to recover, hoping to have the opportunity to stand by your side, but why did everything change when she came!"

Ye Wuyou paused, but did not turn back, and just said lightly:

"I am just a doctor to a patient to you, I have no other feelings for you. Besides, my heart already belongs to someone else. You should have known that long ago. It will not benefit anyone if we continue to entangle with each other."

The girl closed her eyes in despair, tears flowing freely.

When she opened her eyes again, Ye Wuyou and Ning Xi had already walked several steps away.

She squatted down weakly, holding her head with both hands, her shoulders shaking violently, and the noise around her seemed to have nothing to do with her.

After a long time, she slowly stood up and wiped her face fiercely with her sleeve. There was still pain in her eyes, but also a hint of determination.

She gritted her teeth, turned and walked deeper into the bustling street.

Ning Xi looked at the girl's lonely and resolute back, her heart suddenly tightened, and worry instantly filled her eyes.

She subconsciously broke free from Kai Ye Wuyou's hand and raised her leg to chase after him.

Ye Wuyou hurriedly pulled her back, frowned slightly, and said in confusion, "What are you doing? She was being unreasonable just now, why bother with her?"

Ning Xi was extremely anxious and spoke quickly:

"I'm afraid she'll be upset. She was so emotional just now, what if she does something stupid? We can't just watch and do nothing."

Ye Wuyou sighed helplessly, his eyes followed the direction where the girl disappeared, and after a moment of silence he said: "Forget it, since you are worried, let's go and take a look together."

Ning Xi heard this, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she nodded vigorously. The two of them quickened their pace and blended into the crowd, following the girl's whereabouts.

The streets were crowded with people and noisy. It was not easy to find the lost figure in the crowd. Ning Xi's eyes scanned the crowd like a searchlight.

Ye Wuyou was much calmer. While comforting Ning Xi, he took Ning Xi through the streets and alleys based on the general route the girl took when she left in his memory.

Finally, at the entrance of a slightly deserted park, they saw the girl's lonely figure.

She was sitting on a park bench in a daze, her hands on her knees with her head buried in them. Her shoulders were shaking slightly from time to time, and suppressed sobs could be heard intermittently.
