Chapter 12 You broke up with Chen Fangli?

She quickly arrived at the hospital by car.

She had stayed here for nearly a month not long ago, and had almost become familiar with this place. During the time when she could get out of bed, her favorite thing was to sit in the hospital lobby and observe the people coming and going.

Family members, patients, doctors. In just a moment, a new world was revealed to her.

She parked the car in the parking lot before entering the hospital with Li Zhenguan.

Although it wasn’t a rest day, the hospital was still very crowded.

After getting their number, the two of them sat in the waiting area. This area was almost full of people, and Li Zhenguan frowned and put on his mask.

“Not feeling well?” Wang Zhao noticed and asked softly.

Li Zhenguan made a sound of agreement: “A little. There are too many people.”

Perhaps because he had become sensitive to smells since becoming pregnant, when there were many people, the air became mixed. Especially here in the hospital, there was an ineradicable smell of disinfectant in the air. Upon contact, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

Wang Zhao thought for a moment, then stood up. She met Li Zhenguan’s gaze: “I’ll go downstairs to buy you a bottle of water.”

When she stood up, Li Zhenguan instinctively grabbed her sleeve, his exposed almond eyes looking at her, as if startled.

“There’s a convenience store downstairs in the hospital, I’ll be back soon.” Wang Zhao smiled gently, her cold demeanor dissipating a bit, but she inconspicuously pulled her sleeve away from the man’s hand.

Just now, his fingertips had inadvertently touched her wrist.

Li Zhenguan could only make a sound of agreement, his empty hand instinctively grasped at nothing, then he pulled it back, crossing his hands together, lowering his eyelids, his thick long eyelashes hiding the emotions in his eyes.

Wang Zhao couldn’t quite understand, and didn’t pay much attention. She glanced at the screen calling out numbers, then left directly.

There was a 24-hour convenience store downstairs in the hospital. She went in and took two bottles of mineral water. When she was about to check out, she found that they had warm milk here, so she asked the cashier to get a cup of hot milk as well.

“Wang Zhao?”

Just as she was paying, someone called her name. The voice came from beside her.

She looked up and met the face of a young woman, wearing square-framed glasses, with long hair, looking every bit like a top student.

Wang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked in a slightly surprised tone: “Class monitor, what are you doing here?”

The woman’s name was Xu Yingchun, from Jiangcheng, and also a college classmate of the original owner of the body. When she had been searching the room earlier, there was this person in the college graduation photo. Just in case, she was afraid of not recognizing familiar people, so she had familiarized herself with the faces in those photos, and matched them with the WeChat contacts, even browsing through each person’s Moments.

Fortunately, the graduation photos from childhood to adulthood all had names printed on the back, allowing her to match faces with names.

“My mother is sick and hospitalized here,” Xu Yingchun said. After she finished speaking, she looked at Wang Zhao again, examining her before smiling and saying: “You still look the same, haven’t changed much.”

Ever since she first saw Wang Zhao in college, she had this cool and indifferent appearance, making people think at first glance that she was an unapproachable flower. With that face and those grades, she quickly became a prominent figure in the entire department.

Thinking this in her heart, she was also a bit curious: “What are you doing here?”

“I’m accompanying someone for a health check,” Wang Zhao didn’t want to say much, so she just mentioned it lightly, while taking the bag of water that the cashier had already packed, preparing to leave.

Unexpectedly, this college class monitor Xu Yingchun was quite an enthusiastic person. Upon hearing this, she said: “If you need anything, you can contact me. My sister works in this hospital, so it would be convenient to arrange things if needed.”

Wang Zhao heard that this wasn’t just a polite offer, and felt some appreciation in her heart. So she nodded and said a word of thanks.

She couldn’t leave first, so she waited for the other person to finish paying, which only took a few dozen seconds.

Walking together inevitably led to some conversation, checking on each other’s developments. Of course, here it was mainly Xu Yingchun inquiring about her development.

She only said that she had previously worked at a law firm, but quit after a year and was now looking for another job. She didn’t mention the civil service exam, mainly because she wasn’t the type of person to broadcast things before they were accomplished, always keeping some things hidden.

No wonder some people said she was like an iceberg, with three parts on the surface and seven parts hidden underwater.

Xu Yingchun couldn’t help but sigh a few times: “Among all our classmates, only you and Chen Fangli were more successful, getting offers from the Big Four right after graduation.”

When they heard this news at the time, everyone in their class was incredibly envious and jealous. It wasn’t easy to get into the Big Four, the interviews alone were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their unique abilities.

However, in the end, she learned that Wang Zhao didn’t go to DTZ, but instead went on to graduate school. This news also surprised many classmates, but in their hearts, they all felt that someone like Wang Zhao would be successful no matter what she did.

Speaking of this, Xu Yingchun couldn’t help but ask: “How are things between you and Chen Fangli now?”

When Wang Zhao heard this question, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

What did she mean by ‘how are things’?

She keenly sensed the deeper meaning in Xu Yingchun’s question, but she wasn’t clear about the relationship between the original owner and Chen Fangli. After all, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual in the phone, so she didn’t answer immediately, but remained silent for a few seconds.

She knew about Chen Fangli, he was a classmate of the original owner.

In a photo with only thirty or forty people, those who were a bit better looking or had more proper features would stand out. Not to mention Chen Fangli, who was not just proper-featured, but could be said to be very good-looking, with fair skin that stood out from the crowd, and he was even standing in the C position. Almost at first glance of that photo, she had noticed this man.

Later, when she checked the contacts in the WeChat on the phone, she didn’t find this classmate. At that time, she thought they might not be familiar. After all, it’s common for college classmates not to add each other on WeChat, since some people might not get to know everyone in their class well even after four years.

She didn’t think much of it then, but now with Xu Yingchun’s words, she couldn’t help but think more.

Could it be that they hadn’t added each other on WeChat, or had added and then deleted? Or had they fallen out due to some relationship?

She started to feel a headache again, her fingers moved slightly, wanting to press her temples.

During Wang Zhao’s few seconds of silence, Xu Yingchun seemed to realize something. Her eyes slowly widened as she looked at the person beside her.

“No way?” The woman was clearly very surprised, her tone even a bit exaggerated, seeming to find it unbelievable that the two of them had broken up, “You and Chen Fangli split up?”
