Chapter 39 - 38 Jiang An is avoiding him
Jiang An spent three days hiding at school, and Dr. Gao didn’t send any more messages to ask about her, leaving Gao Chuan with no way of dealing with her.
Knowing she was avoiding him, Gao Chuan seemed already used to dealing with Jiang An, who acted like a scaredy-cat, and he went on with his work at the hospital as if the incident that night had been automatically erased by both of them.
Just when Jiang An was feeling smug about her cleverness, fate struck her down. Usually helping Professor Chen with his work, she went to submit her results but suddenly heard a familiar voice. Looking up, she saw Gao Chuan standing at the office door chatting with Professor Chen. Panicked, she quickly redirected her gaze and buried herself in her work, her heartbeat unmistakably betraying her.
Jiang An thought that time would bury all her feelings, but seeing Dr. Gao nearly a week later still made her face turn red.
Gao Chuan took advantage of his time off to catch up with Professor Chen and unexpectedly ran into his shy Xiao Jiang An in the office. The man glanced at the girl, who was earnestly focused on her work, the very picture of a Little Ostrich, almost burying her head into her books.
Professor Chen noticed Gao Chuan staring distractedly at his student and took the initiative to call Jiang An over, setting up the connection: "Jiang An, this is your Senior Brother Gao. You met him before; he’s also your senior. If you do your internship at the hospital, you might still receive his care."
It was a general consensus among all teachers and students that Jiang An, always top of her class, would go to the City Hospital. Professor Chen was simply thinking about paving the way for his beloved student, entrusting Gao Chuan to take good care of Jiang An when the time came. Jiang An nodded politely the whole time with a constrained expression, her mind in complete disarray.
Gao Chuan, brow lowered, watched the girl pretending to be calm, her lips forming a thin line. The two exchanged glances unwittingly and quickly averted their eyes in front of Professor Chen, Jiang An’s cheeks flushing with the sudden illusion of having a secret affair with Dr. Gao.
When Jiang An finished the task in her hands and looked up to see Gao Chuan still happily chatting with Professor Chen, she lowered her head and carefully reviewed her report once again. Time quietly slipped by, and by evening the whole sky was tinged with blood red, mixed with a hint of orange. The conversation finally ended, and Professor Chen, seeing the girl was still around, impulsively suggested the two go have a meal together, "Jiang An, take this opportunity to learn from your mentor. Your Senior Brother Gao is now the top person at the city hospital."
