Chapter 830: Not convinced? Kill him (50)
Xing Rong smelled the wonderful fragrance, and then said slowly: "It's nothing, I just think you've become more handsome." Her words were gentle, but like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky, causing ripples in Tian Jie's heart.
Tian Jie's hand holding the knife and fork suddenly paused, and the movement that was originally intended to continue cutting the tender-fried lamb chops also froze instantly.
The freshly cut lamb chops, with their tender meat oozing with tempting pink juice, formed a sharp contrast with the white of the bone china plate, reflecting his suddenly tense jawline.
"What nonsense." Tian Jie's voice was a little low. He lowered his head and tried to hide his inner fluctuations by chewing. However, his wheat-colored ears turned slightly red uncontrollably, as if revealing his true emotions.
Xing Qian scooped up a spoonful of trembling cream, but was not in a hurry to put it into her mouth. She just held her cheek and carefully traced his increasingly clear jawline and upright shoulder line. "I'm not talking nonsense!" Her voice was as soft and teasing as cream. "Your little face has become whiter, and you have secretly grown taller! Although you are only 13, you may have attracted a young lady!"
The sunlight cut through obliquely, illuminating his drooping thick eyelashes and his tightly pursed, stubborn lips. Tian Jie's unique immaturity and quietly growing edges were all visible in Xing Rong's understanding smile.
He felt a little indignant and muttered, "What do you mean only 13? I'll be 14 in a few days..." Although his voice was not loud, it still reached Xing Rong's ears.
Xing Rong's mouth corners slightly raised, looking at him with a smile, she gracefully put a spoonful of cream into her mouth, then chewed slowly, pretending not to hear clearly, and asked doubtfully: "What did you say?"
Tian Jie's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to cover up something.
But his unnaturalness at that moment was still captured by Xing Rong.
Tian Jie coughed a little unnaturally, then replied as if nothing had happened: "Nothing."
Xing Rong chuckled and did not ask any further questions.
As if she remembered something important, she suddenly asked, "Xiaotian, when is the surgery this week?"
Speaking of business, Tian Jie's face became serious. He sat up straight and answered seriously: "Tomorrow at 5 pm."
Xing Rong nodded, and the smile in her eyes slowly faded away, replaced by a kind of calmness and concentration.
Ever since Zhou Qi learned about her smooth operation in helping him remove the bullet last time, he seemed to agree that she should become a doctor and make contributions to the group.
So after Xingrong started school, Zhou Qi asked Zheng Hu to investigate the people in the group, including everyone's relatives, to see if there were any illnesses or surgeries that private doctors could not handle, and bring them all over for her to practice.
If the patient was cured, her reputation in the group would surely grow; if the patient died, Zhou Qi would help her cover up the matter and then find other people to practice with.
What surprised Tian Jie the most was that she seemed to be able to tell the patient's illness at a glance. There were no failures in the cases she took over, and those she didn't take over would die not long after.
How on earth did she do it?
"Then tell Teacher Deng that we will go home directly after participating in the physics competition this morning and will not return to school."
Tian Jie frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed. "Xiao Qi, are you tired? If you are, I'll tell Uncle Zheng that we won't do the surgery this week."
Zhou Qi arranges a patient every week, and basically every one of them needs surgery.
For every operation, she would teach him how to use the assisting knife. If the operation was more complicated, Zhou Qi would assign an assistant according to her requirements.
Although the operations were all successful, she always seemed to be very tired. It felt like all the strength in her body was drained away the moment the operation was over, and she would have to sleep for a whole day to recover.
Xing Rong held her chin and looked at him quietly. She put down the spoon, picked up a glass of water, took a sip gently, then put down the glass and looked at Tian Jie thoughtfully.
"Xiaotian, you don't even call me sister now."
