"What's wrong with you? Why didn't Kiki contact you?"
Just as Collin finished checking the ward, he received Ms. Mueller's call. He entered his office and closed the door. He turned on the speaker and threw the phone on the table. Then, he picked up his wallet from the cabinet and took out two coupons that the waiter gave him in the coffee shop.
It had been three days since the date.
Collin was busy working in the hospital. Kiki was probably busy drawing. Neither of them contacted the other after the date.
Their parents were very anxious that they were out of touch. And Ms. Mueller kept asking Collin to contact Kiki from yesterday.
Collin picked up the coupon and the phone. He walked out and casually replied, "She is busy drawing."
However, he knew that they wouldn't have any connections.
Kiki sent him a message that night. It read, "Thank you for the flowers. I just checked the flower language."
"You'd better pray that she is busy drawing. Otherwise, you must go on six blind dates a week!" Ms. Mueller said angrily before she hung up.
Collin was speechless.
Maybe he should contact Kiki one more time. Six blind dates a week was so horrible.
A few surgeons were waiting for him at the door. Collin handed over the coffee coupons, "You guys go. I want to have a rest."
"Let's go together." A surgeon wearing glasses pulled him. "These are your coupons. It's not good for us to go without you. You also could help us pay the bill."
The others laughed.
Collin knew that he was joking. He scolded him and did not refuse anymore. He followed them and thought about how to ask Kiki to help him trick his parents.
Let her pretend to be his girlfriend?
Collin didn't mind it. He was just worried that Kiki would fall in love with him. It would be very troublesome then. It was unfair to her.
Forgot it.
This coffee shop was not as popular as other coffee shops but quiet. The doctors preferred quiet places. When they were eating in the cafeteria, someone proposed to have a cup of coffee and discuss the director's recent case. Then, someone mentioned this coffee shop. It happened to be the one that Collin had been to. He also had two coupons. In fact, the coupons were just a publicity tool. For example, if he bought five cups, he could get another one for free. He could get ten off every hundred.
The doctors passed through the semi-circular seat and headed towards the circular sofa. Collin was behind them. As he passed by the semi-circular seat, he saw Jess again.
She wore a grey baggy sweater. She wore her black-rimmed glasses and expressionlessly typed into the computer.
The coffee didn't emit hot air anymore. It seemed to have cooled down.
He didn't know if it was fate.
Jess definitely had no feelings for him.
Maybe it was only a chance. Collin stopped thinking about it anymore. After all, he wasn't interested in girls who liked coffee and instant noodles. He was at most a little interested in her voice.
They sat down on the sofa. Several doctors ordered coffee. Collin ordered an Esmeralda. Then, he turned on his phone and happened to see Kiki's friend circle updated.
There was only one line of text, and there were no pictures below. Maybe she didn't want to show her painting.
Collin was curious about where she planned to send it. He checked the WeChat moments, hearing his colleagues complaining about their patients.
"We are so miserable. If we are as good-looking as Collin, we won't have so many troubles."
"That's right. Last time, I saw a patient send some flowers to Collin."
"I saw it too. That patient was quite pretty. Maybe she wanted to chase Collin."
Collin moved his gaze away from the phone and smiled. "Don't say like that. It's not good to that girl's reputation."
"All the nurses and patients in our hospital are attracted by you. How do we get a girlfriend?"
"When the nurses performed at the annual meeting, their eyes all fixed on you. They tried their best to attract you."
"Those nurses said that you are very difficult to chase so they didn't dare to chase you. What's wrong with you? Don't you like girls? Could it be that you like us?"
"You are so shameless!"
"Even if he likes men, he won't be together with you. He must like those tall and powerful ones."
"What do you mean? You say that Collin is the bottom one?"
Collin was speechless.
"Collin, I'm wrong!"
The others laughed.
They joked for a while before turning to the topic of the case. They joined this hospital at the same time and were about the same age, so their relationships were very good. Collin often discussed cases with them, so they were used to joking with each other.
How could the men not talk nonsense when they were together?
Someone in the hospital created this sentence. As long as they went out to party, they would talk some nonsense before getting to the point.
Collin usually wore a white coat and gave off the impression that he was thin. In reality, he was much stronger than Jaquan.
A few years ago, they competed for that who would train the muscles first. It was a very childish game. But Collin treated it very seriously. He was later than Jaquan because he spent one month gaining weight first. He started to exercise crazily after that.
Exercise is addictive. He was single. After returning home at night, he had nothing to do apart from reading the medical records and exercising. He looked very thin when he wore the white coat. But he actually had muscles. Even in summer, he still wore the white coat. Therefore, no one knew his muscles the white coat. They just thought that Collin was very thin.
In addition, he often wore a pair of golden thin-rimmed glasses, which made him look very gentle. No one would believe that such a gentleman was muscular.
When Collin was checking the WeChat Moments, he heard a shout from not far away, "Why are you here?"
It was from a man.
"Why am I here?" The woman's voice sounded aggressive, "If I didn't come, how could I know you were cheating on me?"
"It's fine if you find someone better looking than me. But she's so ugly. Who is she? Are you disgusting me?"
"No, you misunderstood. We're not..." The man explained in a low voice.
"Misunderstood? She has been with you for several days. Do you think I don't know?" The woman shouted, "She had been to your house! I saw it!"
