Ten o'clock in the evening.

After work, Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni arranged a dinner with Gao Jun and Liu Ziang to celebrate Zhao Heng's paper being published.

After dinner, Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni went back to Xu Man Ni's place.

As soon as they entered the room, Zhao Heng hugged Xu Man Ni tightly, feeling happy today.

Speaking of which, they had just gotten together, so this kind of thing wouldn't happen often.

It's just that both of them worked at the hospital, and were already busy enough with work that when they got home, all they wanted to do was rest.

"It's still early."

Xu Man Ni kissed Zhao Heng gently and said softly.

"Yeah."

Zhao Heng nodded, his mind already flashing back to the many essentials he had learned in college.

Xu Man Ni took off her high heels and switched to ladies' slippers. This scene was observed by Zhao Heng, and it made his heart flutter.

To be honest, Zhao Heng felt that this was the most beautiful curve of a woman.

Noticing Zhao Heng staring at her, Xu Man Ni smiled, confident in her own charm.

For so many years, she had not been with any man, and now, she had given everything to the man in front of her.

Zhao Heng also changed into slippers, and the two of them holding hands came to the living room, sitting on the sofa.

Well, newly together lovers are this sweet, wanting to stick together every day.

Even though Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni were together, they hardly enjoyed the world of a couple, as most of their time was busy at the hospital.

Not to mention traveling, even going shopping was rare.

However, this feeling of stealing leisure from the busy schedules was more intoxicating.

Xu Man Ni leaned on Zhao Heng's shoulder, holding his hand, enjoying this peaceful and warm moment.

Even Zhao Heng was calm at this moment. For the past two months, he seemed to have been busy all the time, and only now could he calm down for a moment and enjoy the world with Xu Man Ni.

"With your paper published, you've entered the academic world. When Mr. Huang returns, you can apply for his joint master's and doctoral program, which will be a proper academic path."

Xu Man Ni said softly. Doctors are different from other professions; the career path is clear. It's all about improving academic qualifications, publishing papers, and then advancing in titles, step by step improving from resident doctor to attending physician, and then to associate chief physician, chief physician.

It usually takes at least twenty years for an ordinary doctor to become a chief physician.

However, there are exceptions, like Liu Ziang, who became an associate chief physician in his early thirties.

Now, Xu Man Ni felt that Zhao Heng might become an associate chief physician before the age of thirty.

As for Xu Man Ni herself, she already had a graduate degree, which is sufficient for a nurse.

In a while, Xu Man Ni was confident she could become the head nurse of the operating room. At thirty-one, she could hold this head nurse position for a long time.

For hospital nurses, becoming the head nurse is essentially the peak.

But head nurse, especially the head nurse at Eastern Hospital, is still very desirable.

"One step at a time, there's no rush."

Zhao Heng said.

If he was anxious before, after his paper was published and he entered the academic field, Zhao Heng was not in a hurry anymore.

Research requires time to hone, and it's not something that can be achieved overnight.

Moreover, he had integrated so many skills and experiences from doctors and medical-related personnel, needing time to slowly digest and absorb them.

Once he truly mastered and integrated the vast skills and experiences in his mind, he believed he would see a different perspective and landscape.

"Sis, about what you said this afternoon..."

Zhao Heng couldn't help but feel a bit moved. Thinking of what Xu Man Ni whispered to him this afternoon made him feel a flame burning in his chest.

"I knew you were thinking about that, wait a minute."

Xu Man Ni smiled alluringly, kissed Zhao Heng, and stood up to go to the bedroom.

"Don't go to the bedroom, change here."

Zhao Heng held Xu Man Ni and said.

"Here?"

Xu Man Ni didn't expect Zhao Heng to be so bold, but she still smiled, stood up, and drew all the curtains in the living room and dimmed the lights.

In a little while, Xu Man Ni began.

Zhao Heng watched Xu Man Ni's movements, feeling his heartbeat quicken.

"Does it look good?"

Xu Man Ni asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it looks good."

Zhao Heng nodded, unable to think clearly anymore, with only one thought running through his mind.

With that thought, Zhao Heng couldn't hold back anymore, stood up, and picked up Xu Man Ni.

...

Skip two thousand words.

An hour later.

Xu Man Ni felt as if she had just awoken from a dream.

In the dream, she felt like she was floating on the clouds, flying freely, then the clouds gathered and a heavy rain fell.

For Zhao Heng, it was also like a dream, where he seemed to be driving. At first, the road was sunny, but as Zhao Heng floored the accelerator and started speeding, it began to rain, and later, it turned into a torrential downpour.

When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Zhao Heng noticed sunlight breaking through, revealing a rainbow in the sky, vibrant and beautiful.

At this moment, Xu Man Ni's satisfaction with Zhao Heng was indescribable.

This integration of body and soul was something Xu Man Ni never dared to imagine before being with Zhao Heng.

Once, Xu Man Ni thought she might remain single forever.

But having met Zhao Heng, Xu Man Ni felt like she had become the lead character in a romance drama.

Everything a woman desires, Zhao Heng could provide for her.

Maybe meeting the right person is just like this.

At this moment, Xu Man Ni couldn't help but think.

"Your skills aren't something achieved in just one or two tries..."

Beyond satisfaction, Xu Man Ni looked at Zhao Heng with some doubt and said.

"Uh... theory and practice..."

Zhao Heng felt like he was being called upon to answer a question by a pretty English teacher in high school.

However, the homework to be submitted at this moment was completely different from back then.

But to be honest, Xu Man Ni and that female teacher actually had a lot in common.

No, I'm not that kind of person!

Zhao Heng mentally denied.

"Let me ask you, with so many young and pretty nurses in the hospital, why didn't you choose them? Why me?"

Xu Man Ni couldn't help but ask.

"...!"

Oh no!

The critical question is here!

Zhao Heng felt like he was facing a major challenge; answering this question poorly would be catastrophic!

"First, I think you're more beautiful than those young nurses, and secondly, you understand and support me the most."

Zhao Heng tried his best to come up with a cautious and appropriate answer.

"Hmm... I suppose that will do."

Xu Man Ni thought about it, realizing that such a question was indeed difficult to answer.
