"How is it, Zhao? Does my cooking taste good?"

Cao Lei batted her big, watery eyes and asked eagerly, like a child waiting for their parents' praise.

"Hmm, not bad, quite good actually, just the right amount of saltiness, suits my taste perfectly."

Zhao Tienan's mouth twitched several times as he tried hard to appear sincerely honest, but even he couldn't believe his own words.

He truly couldn't compliment Cao Lei's cooking skills at all.

Especially the stir-fried kidney dishes, which still had red streaks of blood, tasting both raw and fishy, hitting him straight to the top of his head.

The remaining dishes weren't much better; either too salty or too bland, and almost all were undercooked.

If Zhao Tienan weren't worried about hurting Cao Lei's fragile self-esteem, he might have vomited on the spot.

In fact, Zhao Tienan was very impressed with himself.

That he could actually swallow such awful food was a testament to the remarkable adaptability of humans.

"So, Zhao, are you feeling any reactions now?"

Cao Lei twirled a strand of hair by her ear, asking shyly, her mix of silly and sultry demeanor was really hard to resist.

"Hmm, I feel full of strength, just like Popeye after eating spinach."

"How about we try it out now?"

Zhao Tienan quickly put down his chopsticks, making a gesture like an eagle catching chicks.

He really didn't want to eat any more of those visually pleasing but terribly tasting dishes, so he decided to use the excuse of exercising to escape from the table quickly.

However, just as Zhao's large hand was about to touch Cao Lei's overly tempting craziness, an untimely phone ring suddenly broke the atmosphere.

"Hello, Mr. Li, what's up?"

"Your child's vomiting again? Didn't I just prescribe him some medication today? Alright, I'll go over and give him an IV then, maybe that will help him recover faster..."

Cao Lei responded smoothly, displaying a mature doctor's demeanor, clearly her internship results were quite effective during this period.

"Zhao, sorry, my patient is looking for me, I probably won't be back for a while."

"If you're in a hurry, just call Xin, she shouldn't be busy tonight, and should be able to digest what you ate tonight..."

Cao Lei said to Zhao Tienan with some schadenfreude, then picked up her small medicine kit, ready to leave the health center.

"Lei, wait, I have something important to tell you, you must be alert..."

Zhao urgently called Cao Lei back, repeating the news Song Nan told him.

"What?"

"How could Xing Zhaolin be so vile?"

"Don't worry, Zhao, I'll definitely be careful these days and absolutely won't fall for his tricks."

After hearing this, Cao Lei's face showed a clear expression of disgust.

She already didn't have a good impression of Xing Zhaolin, and now she held him in even greater contempt.

"Alright, just keep an appropriate demeanor while practicing medicine, if you can't handle it, just call me directly."

"If I'm not at Fengshan Village, then just suggest they go to the town for treatment, don't try to be heroic by yourself."

Zhao Tienan instructed once more, then finally felt at ease letting Cao Lei leave.
