The moment Zhang Yuze raised his eyes, Shen Mo also happened to look at the center of the crowd, seeing the out-of-place man with a single glance. His nose was tall and his eyebrows were indifferent, looking calm and alienated. It must have been some sort of extreme reason, intelligence, and education that built his uncommon temperament.
The shrewd and slender eyes of the young man gently swept across that face, showing surprise only for a moment before calming down.
As for Zhang Yuze, he promptly withdrew his gaze. He thought that meeting his ex-boyfriend would be a complicated scene, but now it looked like that was not the case. Maybe he was so hurt by Shen Mo during those years that he was now completely immune to seeing him again.
Old Bi didn’t notice the subtle atmosphere between them. He rubbed his hands and introduced him: “Brothers, this is Shen Mo, a nurse at the Rocket Army General Hospital.”
“Oh, whoa!” Ah Huo whistled, squeezed his eyebrows, and said: “Yes, Old Bi, did you find such a serious person for some nurse play?”
Old Bi smiled greasily, showing two layers of folds on his chin, and his big hand hugged Shen Mo, pulling him to sit down in the middle of the crowd. Shen Mo frowned slightly and wanted to shake off his hand, but he did not dare to move. He bowed his head aggrievedly.
Zhang Yuze took a casual look, reached out, and picked up the water cup, focusing on drinking water. Xu Li beside him suddenly leaned over, bit his ear, and whispered: “Shen Mo… And a nurse. Is that such a popular name?”
Zhang Yuze put down his glass, turned his face to Xu Li’s ear, and said: “No, it’s my ex.”
Xu Li shrank back in shock and raised his eyebrows, asking silently with his eyes: Really?!
Zhang Yuze nodded.
“Dr. Xu, what’s been going on recently? I haven’t seen you in such a long time.” Old Bi turned his face to talk to Xu Li.
Xu Li shook his bandage arm, smiled, and answered: “I met a madman and was stabbed. I’m recuperating at home.”
Old Bi licked his lips, smiled, and continued: “I heard that you’ve recently started dating. What do you say? Is he good-looking? Why not bring him over so we, your brothers, could open our eyes?”
Xu Li hesitated for a moment. Old Bi’s group of people wandered around bars all year round, and his mouth was not clean. He subconsciously didn’t want to guide the topic to Zhang Yuze and was about to change the subject. However, Ah Huo’s lack of intelligence prompted him to interject: “What are you saying, Old Bi? Are your eyes so bad that you can’t see the treasure sitting next to Brother Xu?”
Old Bi looked over, meeting Zhang Yuze’s eyes straight on. He let go of the hand that was placed on Shen Mo’s shoulder, got up, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yuze attentively, saying: “You really do look like a very talented man! Let me introduce myself, you can also call me Old Bi. Just come over and play at any time.”
Zhang Yuze politely stretched out his hand and introduced himself: “Zhang Yuze, a cardio surgeon of the Artillery Hospital.”
“Such a coincidence, right? There are three medical students at this table today. It looks like we have a full set.” Old Bi said with a smile.
Zhang Yuze’s hand was very beautiful, a slender and clean hand with distinct joints, thin and powerful. As long as he thought that the man held a scalpel all year round, Old Bi liked it so much that he didn’t want to ever let go of it.
In fact, he had a fetish. He really liked those who looked serious and proper, completely different from the crowd that he was used to seeing in bars. Every time he succeeded in bullying such an elite, he felt extreme happiness.
That was also the reason why Old Bi was willing to raise Shen Mo with his wallet…
… It’s just that Shen Mo was still an out-of-the-line little nurse no matter what. He even got fired a while ago. How could he compare to the upright Chief Surgeon in front of him? He was cold and respectable, unlike those with vulgar charms.
Old Bi’s heart was so itchy that he could barely stand it.
Zhang Yuze tried to pull his hand back but found that the other party not only did not let go but also held it tighter. His thumb even rubbed the back of his hand, offensive and bold.
Just as he was thinking about how to break free, Xu Li stood up with a smile on his face, but not in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Yuze from Old Bi’s grasp, deliberately pulling his boyfriend behind him, saying: “Old Bi, tell us how you and Shen Mo met. Congratulations.”
All in all, Old Bi was a smart man. Seeing the warning in Xu Li’s eyes, he had to reluctantly withdraw his claws from Zhang Yuze and glance at Shen Mo. He said casually: “There is nothing to introduce. That’s it. Let’s drink! I’ll pay the bill tonight, so all of you can go and get drunk!”
As he said that and as if he wanted to make amends, he filled a glass of hard liquor for himself and Shen Mo, smiling. “Come on, Shen Mo, take the initiative and show respect to everyone.” He said.
Shen Mo was pushed forward. He raised his eyes in panic and looked at the golden liquor in front of him. Back when he was in college, he was not very good at drinking, even congenitally fragile. Not to mention spirits, he couldn’t even drink a few glasses of beer without falling to the point of dizziness, with soft hands and feet. Now he was alone in some random bar, and he really, really didn’t want to drink.
However, it was such a pity that Old Bi wouldn’t feel sorry for him.
Shen Mo hesitated and looked at Zhang Yuze. His eyes clearly asked for help, but unfortunately, Zhang Yuze was talking to Xu Li, not looking at him at all.
On the other side of the couch, Zhang Yuze whispered to Xu Li: “How long do you plan on holding my hand?”
“Just let me hold it.” Xu Li smiled and simply put Dr. Zhang’s hand in his pocket, saying: “Don’t worry about others.”
He spoke in a loud voice, and everyone present could hear him. Ah Huo smiled and commented: “Okay, Brother Xu, there’s a limit to showing love… Today is all about Old Bi.”
They were sticky and affectionate. Old Bi watched everything with greedy eyes and a heavy heart. The way he looked at Xu Li turned more and more unpleasant. That boy relied on a charming face to become the center of their group and could now even pull such a spectacular boyfriend. The more Old Bi thought about it, the more unjust it was.
He smiled, deliberately stood up, and took the initiative to fill Xu Li’s cup with alcohol, saying: “Xu Li, you also have a drink!”
“No.” Xu Li refused very bluntly. “I can’t drink alcohol while recuperating.”
“Oh, so you won’t give me any face.” Old Bi pushed the glass forward again: “I especially poured you some liquor, you can have a drink without a problem.”
Xu Li still wanted to refuse. However, Ah Huo poked his back and gave him a look. Sure enough, Xu Li understood the meaning of Ah Huo. Old Bi was a real snake, used to curling the wind and clouds. It was best to just drink the alcohol and give him face, so as not to make trouble for himself.
“Okay…” Xu Li still had no choice but to reach out and grab the glass. However, a pair of fair and slender knuckles flashed in front of him, taking the glass before he could even touch it.
Zhang Yuze was in a rather bad mood, saying indifferently: “Let me take his place. He really can’t drink due to his injury.”
Xu Li’s hand hung in mid-air, and his heart trembled.
Hearing those words, Shen Mo suddenly raised his pitiful eyes which were full of incredible things.
As for Old Bi, he was very happy. It was rare to have a drink with such a person so of course, he did not object. He even said repeatedly: “Good, good! Dr. Zhang, come and have a drink with me!”
Zhang Yuze didn’t say much, drinking the glass in one breath. That kind of spirit couldn’t be drunk slowly, so it was more comfortable to just get it over with. Seeing that he was a bold man, Old Bi didn’t say much more. He simply went back to bullying Shen Mo.
Shen Mo drank very hard. He frowned and swallowed the alcohol desperately, which almost took half his life. However, Zhang Yuze still didn’t glance at him. After drinking, he put down the glass and sat back beside Xu Li.
Xu Li raised his face that was completely covered in smiles and said: “I was moved by Dr. Zhang.”
“Don’t be moved. I didn’t help you for nothing.” Zhang Yuze glanced at him. “Wash my clothes tomorrow. Remember to put disinfectant in it.”
“I’ll gladly do it~” Xu Li took the task with joy.
“By the way, Old Bi, our brother Xu has been in some trouble recently. See if you can help him.” Ah Huo remembered to say.
Old Bi waved his big hand and answered: “You can say it. There is nothing I can’t solve in this place.”
And so, Xu Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a picture of that Little Rainbow, and said: “Do you recognize this person? He’s been pestering me these days.”
Lao Bi squinted his eyes for a while and finally commented: “I know this person. He has only recently come to Yanjing. Anyway, he is blocking people at the door of major bars, looking for those who have money but are too drunk to keep them. As soon as his victim wakes up, he’ll make a request. Why? Did you win the lottery?”
“Hmm.” Xu Li’s face was full of shame. “I drank too much on Ah Huo’s birthday that day. I have no impression of him at all, but he came looking for me.”
Old Bi laughed and patted Xu Li’s thigh while saying: “Okay, you also have days like this!”
Xu Li was even more ashamed and angry, not wanting to talk anymore. Old Bi took the opportunity to take a few more glances at Zhang Yuze, thought for a while, and said with a smile: “Why don’t I ask someone to solve it for you? I guarantee it will be a clean end and he won’t bother you anymore.”
He seemed to be helping, but Xu Li knew that he’d never make a deal that wasn’t profitable. If he bothered Old Bi with this favor today, he didn’t know how much he would owe in the future.
Besides, he neither liked nor needed Old Bi’s means and connections.
In the end, Xu Li waved his hand and said: “Forget it, thank you, but his family is also very pitiful. I’ll help him.”
Old Bi nodded regretfully but didn’t force it. Ah Huo stood up and proposed: “Let’s not talk about those messy things. Brother Xu is going to leave early today. Let’s play dice and have fun!”
“Oh no!”
Ah Huo was about to roll the dice when Shen Mo, who was sitting next to Old Bi, suddenly held his chest, tilted his head, and vomited all over the ground. The whole couch was instantly filled with a stench.
Old Bi pinched his nose and didn’t feel the tenderness of love at all. He kicked Shen Mo and urged: “Go to the toilet, go to the toilet, damn it, it stinks! Then come back and clean up! Let’s change the table!”
Shen Mo vomited in a dark daze. The glass of liquor just now made his whole stomach twitch, and the pain was bad enough that he almost fainted. He could no longer hear what the people around him were saying. He just curled up on the ground and kept moaning.
Zhang Yuze got up without thinking about it. He looked at Shen Mo’s symptoms and simply made a judgment between alcohol poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. Hard spirits could easily cause gastric perforation, which couldn’t be delayed.
He ordered the waiter who came over: “I’ll take him to the bathroom. You prepare a glass of warm water and bring it over. I’m afraid it’s alcohol poisoning.”
After saying that, he promptly took Shen Mo’s arm and dragged him to the bathroom.
Xu Li looked at his back.
Zhang Yuze suddenly turned around, looked into Xu Li’s eyes, opened his lips, and said: “I’m a doctor.”
There was no need for unnecessary explanations. Simply because he was a doctor, he must save people and focus on everyone’s safety.
It wasn’t because Shen Mo was his ex-boyfriend. Even if it were anyone else, he would have taken action as well.
Just that sentence was enough for Xu Li to immediately understand his reason.
And so, Xu Li smiled with gentle eyebrows while whispering: “Go, Dr. Zhang. I believe in you.”
