"Alright, I'll reach out to her privately, you don't need to worry about the rest."

"But seeing how much you care about this friend, I guess it's a woman, and a very beautiful one at that?"

Liu Jia nodded, then asked, filled with jealousy.

"Officer Liu, you really have sharp eyes to figure that out."

"My friend is indeed a woman, but she..."

Zhao Tienan licked his lips and said awkwardly.

"Alright, you don't need to explain, it's not against the law. Look at you acting like a guilty thief, why bother?"

Liu Jia tossed out a sentence and turned away unhappily.

"This..."

Zhao Tienan scratched the back of his head, utterly confused. What was up with Liu Jia? Why did she feel entitled to comment on his personal life?

What Zhao Tienan found even more perplexing was his own reaction. Liu Jia wasn't his woman, so why was he bothering to explain?

Even though they were jokingly called a couple in primary school, that was just a childhood game...

"Childish!"

Zhao Tienan shook his head with a bitter smile and continued with his work.

After all, the influenza in Fengshan Village was still rampant, and the infected population kept spreading.

As the village's only doctor, Zhao Tienan had to take responsibility.

Prescriptions needed to be written, and house calls for IVs had to be timely.

Zhao Tienan was busy until three in the afternoon, barely catching his breath.

"The cowboy on the steppes, majestic and strong..."

But before Zhao Tienan could finish his cup of hot tea, his phone rang again suddenly.

He casually glanced at it, only to find out it was the principal of the village elementary school calling.

"Principal, what urgent matter has brought you to call me out of the blue?"

Zhao Tienan grinned and asked.

He didn't have a good impression of the old principal, but luckily, the old man knew his place. Ever since Zhao Tienan found his weakness, he had been particularly obedient, always showing great respect whenever they met in the village.

Because of this, Zhao Tienan had never made things difficult for him.

"Doctor Zhao, cough cough, there's an influenza outbreak lately, and cough cough, our school hasn't been spared. The staff dormitory has been completely taken down, and the new interns have all caught severe colds, so much they can't even get out of bed. I was hoping you could come by and take a look at them."

The old principal's voice sounded very pained, with severe coughing fits interrupting him, indicating he hadn't escaped the outbreak either.

"Is it that serious?"

"Alright, I understand. I just finished up here, so I'll head over right away."

"By the way, where's Li Wanqing? I haven't seen her recently, what's she been up to?"

Zhao Tienan agreed readily but suddenly remembered Li Wanqing's beautiful eyes and asked.

"Ah, you mean Mrs. Li. The school recently sent her to attend some advanced training. She should be back in about a week."

"Is there anything Doctor Zhao needs? If so, I can help you get in touch with her."

The old principal responded with a chuckle, as a man, he immediately understood Zhao Tienan's thoughts, even adding a hint of teasing in his words...
