System Came When the Doctor was Thirty

Chapter 456: Chapter 241: The Game Settles

Mu Nanshu spun around in front of the mirror, asking, "Sister Xie, Xiao Ni, don’t you think this outfit is too small?"

Xie Yuan’an focused and avoided any judgments: "It would be better to switch to a larger size, otherwise I’m afraid it might end up feeling too tight for you."

"If we don’t, Lu Cheng might give us trouble later."

Mu Nanshu then went off to find a staff member to change sizes...

Ni Xixin and Xie Yuan’an exchanged glances and tried on three more outfits, finally settling on one that was relatively better.

Yet Mu Nanshu still couldn’t find a suitable size, so Xie Yuan’an said, "Xiao Mumu, Xiao Ni and I are heading to the section with the traditional dresses, take your time choosing."

"You can carry off any outfit; the key is to find the right size. If there’s really none that fits, we’ll try another store."

"Okay!~" Mu Nanshu replied from inside the fitting room.

As Ni Xixin and Xie Yuan’an headed toward the traditional dress section, Ni Xixin curiously asked, "Sister Xie, is it true that Sister Mu’s boyfriend only has a bachelor’s degree?"

"Yes!~" Xie Yuan’an nodded earnestly, her expression serious.

"It’s hard to believe such talent wouldn’t go for a master’s degree and just went straight to work," Ni Xixin scratched her hair, noticing some dandruff fall out.

She immediately felt a bit embarrassed, "Sister Xie, let’s go get our hair washed together later."

Among the favorite activities for girls getting together are using the bathroom, shopping, getting their hair done, and having facials.

"Sure, I know a great hair spa," Xie Yuan’an, too lazy to wash her hair, replied.

"It’s not that Lu Cheng didn’t want to study further, he applied but got rejected, and that year, Mu Nanshu even tried in advance to inquire for him."

"So after the interviews ended, the two of them had a big dispute with the school."

"Looking back, if Lu Cheng’s talent were just a bit lesser, falling short of his peers by a fraction, maybe he wouldn’t have dared to react."

"Who would dare to argue with the secretaries and mentors of renowned professors?" Xie Yuan’an shared with Ni Xixin.

"Really? Such a thing happened?"

Ni Xixin suddenly understood, "So that explains why Sister Mu’s boyfriend seems to have a low educational background."

It’s common to fail entrance exams.

Zhang Xibei also got rejected when attempting a Ph.D. exam.

Xie Yuan’an reminded, "Xiao Ni, wouldn’t you say Lu Cheng has broken through the barrier of his educational background?"

"His degree is just icing on the cake for him now."

Ni Xixin immediately responded, "I only think it’s a pity, not that Brother Lu’s lower degree is a problem."

After her answer, Ni Xixin lowered her voice, "Sister Xie, do you know this Dai Linfang?"

"There seems to be an impressive history he’s hinted at."

"Apart from misunderstanding over some trivial photos, no, I don’t know him," Xie Yuan’an shook her head.

Ni Xixin, cleverly remarked, "But there are a lot of questionable points about him: first, his surgical skills are undeniably exceptional."

"Even though he might not match Brother Lu, he’s way above many others."

"Second, with such talent, why choose a city’s hospital to work in the oncology department?"

"Third, I suspect this Dr. Dai Linfang’s intentions for joining our research group might not be entirely pure."

"After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, if he truly had such talent, why succumb so easily?"

"Today, he intentionally performed in front of me, proving he’s somewhat proud."

"Such a personality doesn’t quite match his career choices."

Hearing Ni Xixin analyze so many aspects, Xie Yuan’an felt a bit overwhelmed, "Huh? I never thought about it that way?"

"You don’t think he might have some bad intentions, do you?"

Ni Xixin shook her head, "Bad intentions? I don’t know either. Today was my first encounter with him."

"I was just casually mentioning it."

"Sister Xie, this outfit looks really good; I think it would suit your skin tone well," Ni Xixin changed the subject.

...

On the main road in Ji City, Dai Linfang was listening to music, driving, and whistling, seeming to be in exceptionally good spirits.

After a while, his phone rang.

Answering the call, Dai Linfang said, "Yes, I’ve met the person, and I’m quite satisfied."

"This is the first time I’ve seen you ’so happy post-blind date’," came a middle-aged woman’s voice on the other end of the call.

"Mom, isn’t it because I hadn’t met someone who matched my eye before?" Dai Linfang replied.

"You don’t think you’ve mistaken them, do you?" the woman suddenly asked.

"Impossible, don’t worry, Mom."

"Mu Nanshu is Mu Nanshu, although she’s attractive, she’s not my type," Dai Linfang said.

"And as for Brother Lu, well, he indeed is quite an interesting person," he added.

"Did you fall for this Xie Yuan’an at first sight?" the other side asked.

"Isn’t it possible it wasn’t love at first sight?"

"Alright, Mom, let’s not talk about this for now. I can handle my own matters."

"You don’t need to try other means to help me, everyone pays for their pride and recklessness when they’re young."

"That’s why I admire Brother Lu’s attitude now."

The woman retorted, "What’s all this ’Brother’ talk? Have you been brainwashed?"

Dai Linfang replied, "Brainwashed? Mom, who could possibly brainwash me? Neither my dad nor you succeeded, if some random person did, wouldn’t that reflect badly on me?"

"I just think, perhaps stay out of these, and focus on taking a course, prepare for a public service exam."

"In a few years, getting into this line would be pretty challenging," the woman responded.
