Xia Feng and Shao Yifan surprisingly had no scheduled surgeries today. So when they finished their rounds, they managed to have dinner in the cafeteria on time for once. When An An entered the canteen, she filled a tray with food, then approached the two figures sitting on a table by the window.

Shao Yifan had been busy drinking soup when he noticed An An sitting down across from Xia Feng, causing him to immediately spray out a mouthful of soup.

"Why are you so disgusting." An An passed him some napkins.

Shao Yifan glanced at Xia Feng as he coughed. Seeing that Xia Feng wasn't overtly shocked by An An's arrival, he simply bowed his head and focused on his food, not taking the initiative to say hello.

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting awkward, Shao Yifan tried to find a topic to talk about: "Cough, right, An An, I remember that Dr. Lane is staying here for a month? Are you going back to America afterward, or are you staying?"

Dr.Lane was An An's mentor in America. City Hospital recently invited Dr. Lane to come and teach, so An An followed him here as his student.

"I'm going back to America first, after all, I still have two months before I finish my studies." While saying this, An An sneaked a peek at Xia Feng.

"What about after you graduate? Are you going back to your children's hospital, or are you going to work here at City Hospital?" Shao Yifan asked.

"I was invited by both hospitals, but I'm still undecided." An An saw still glancing at Xia Feng.

Xia Feng finished his food, put down his chopsticks, and took a napkin to wipe his mouth. Looking towards An An, he asked her: "An An, did you look for Yu Dong yesterday?"

Shao Yifan froze, his eyes turning to Xia Feng.

When An An passed the lipsticks to Yu Dong, she knew that Xia Feng would definitely find out. It seems that she troubled Yu Dong yesterday. An An felt smug at this, but her face remained neutral as she replied: "Yes, I was really embarrassed that I took the lipstick you bought for Yu Dong, so I brought it back with me from America. I happened to meet her yesterday in the pediatrics ward, so I took the chance and gave them back to her."

"Thank you." Xia Feng said.

"You're welcome!"

"But our relationship's now a little awkward, so if there's anything else you think of in the future, you don't need to bother sending it back." Xia Feng said with a smile.

An An's expression stiffened when she heard this, looking at Xia Feng incredulously.

Shao Yifan was also surprised by Xia Feng's attitude. This gentleman rarely spoke to women so directly, let alone towards An An.

"How can I do that? Those lipsticks were expensive." An An said.

"It doesn't matter, it's not like my salary's low, I can comfortably shower Yu Dong with gifts." After Xia Feng said this, he stood up, "I'm done eating, so I'll go ahead first."

Without waiting for a reply, Xia Feng walked out of the canteen.

Shao Yifan glanced towards An An, only to find her looking sullen, the chopsticks on her hand broken.

"I'm done too. You take your time and eat slowly." Shao Yifan resolutely escaped, leaving An An to smack her broken chopsticks down in the table.

Shao Yifan managed to catch up to Xia Feng and was shocked as he asked: "What happened yesterday?"

Xia Feng pushed their office door open and replied: "Try to gossip less."

"No, no, you have to tell me, that seriously scared me. You actually didn't give someone face and it's An An, and more importantly, you did it in front of me." Shao Yifan said.
