A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 180: (Xiao Han) Forget me this husband
Chapter 180
In the evening, when Xiao Han returned home, she saw her mom had prepared a grand feast with her favorite braised pig's trotters.
"Wow, Mom, is it a special day today? Why did you make so many dishes?" Xiao Han changed her shoes and quickly sat down.
"Of course, it's a special day!" Xiao Han's mom placed a soup on the table.
"Let me tell you, I met a really nice guy today, and he happens to have the same ideal type as you. I think there's a chance, so you must make a good impression when you meet him!" Xiao Han's mom said.
"Cough... Mom, I forgot to tell you, I... already have a boyfriend, so I won't go on the blind date!" Xiao Han put down her cup and said.
"What? When did you get a boyfriend?" Xiao Han's mom was surprised.
"Just... a friend introduced him to me."
"But I've already arranged for him to meet you tomorrow!"
"You can cancel it, just tell him that I already have a boyfriend!"
Xiao Han's mom scrutinized her for a moment. "Xiao Han, are you sure you didn't make up a boyfriend just to appease me?"
"No way! It's true!" Xiao Han immediately replied.
"Fine, if it's true, then bring him home tomorrow for me to meet!"
Xiao Han thought for a moment. In the afternoon, she had already added Bai Zhan on WeChat and explained the situation to him.
He should be prepared, and as long as her mom met Bai Zhan, she probably wouldn't force her into blind dates anymore.
Xiao Han gnawed on the pig's trotters and casually replied, "Sure, I'll tell him and bring him back to meet you tomorrow."
Seeing Xiao Han's appearance, Xiao Han's mom thought she really had a boyfriend, and she could only regretfully apologize to Xiao Zimo.
When Xiao Han went to bed that night, she suddenly received a friend request on WeChat. The WeChat name had only one character, "Xiao."
The person added a note: [Your mom asked me to add you.]
Xiao Han thought for a moment and eventually accepted the friend request.
Xiao: [Hello, I'm the blind date your mom introduced to you, but she said you already have a boyfriend?]
Xiao Han: [Yes, I'm sorry, so I can't meet you tomorrow.]
The other person seemed silent for a long time, and Xiao Han didn't bother with him anymore, thinking that explaining once was enough.
After a while, unexpectedly, the other person sent another message.
Xiao: [It's okay, even if you have a boyfriend, we can still be friends.]
Xiao Han didn't know what the person meant and couldn't be bothered to reply. But then, the person sent another message.
Xiao: [I heard your mom say you're a medical student, currently interning at Huaxi Hospital. I happen to be a doctor too, also at Huaxi Hospital. We can communicate more about work in the future.]
Xiao Han didn't expect the other person to be a doctor, which piqued her interest.
Xiao Han: [What's your specialization?]
Xiao: [Clinical and Traditional Chinese Medicine.]
Xiao Han was somewhat surprised. These two fields are quite different! How can someone excel in both?
Xiao Han: [I'm also in the clinical field, but I'm interested in anatomy and Traditional Chinese Medicine.]
Xiao: [It's rare for a girl to be interested in anatomy.]
Xiao Han thought that the other person was about to look down on her again, so she rolled her eyes and was ready to retort. But unexpectedly, the other person sent another message.
Xiao: [I really admire girls like you.]
Uh... How could she retort to that?
Xiao Han could only awkwardly reply, [Hehe, thank you.]
Xiao: [It's getting late, you should rest early. Although you rejected the blind date with me, maybe we can meet at the hospital tomorrow.]
Xiao Han didn't pay much attention to it. Even if they met at the hospital, she didn't know him!
She decided not to reply and went to sleep directly.
...
The next day, Xiao Han went to work at the hospital as usual.
To her surprise, after arriving at the hospital, many people were discussing the arrival of a very talented doctor.
Not only had he been the chief physician at a well-known hospital abroad, but he was also very young!
Besides being skilled in surgery, he also had a profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
Xiao Han joined in the lively discussion, "Who are you all talking about?"
"The new director, Dr. Xiao! I caught a glimpse of him yesterday, and he's incredibly handsome!"
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Yes! Since he's so exceptional, does that mean he's bald?"
"Don't be ridiculous! After work yesterday, I personally saw him leaving the hospital with the dean!"
As they were speaking, a group of people wearing white coats walked over in their direction.
Among them, a tall and remarkably prominent figure wearing a mask passed by the gossiping crowd.
His gaze fell on Xiao Han in the crowd, and Xiao Han was also looking at him. Their eyes met.
It wasn't until they looked away that Xiao Zimo retracted his gaze, but Xiao Han continued to stare at his figure.
Suddenly, a girl next to her grabbed her shoulder and said, "Haha, how about that? Isn't he handsome with that figure and physique?"
Xiao Han looked away, and a strange feeling surged in her heart. The gaze of this person inexplicably felt familiar to her.
...
In the afternoon, Xiao Han was suddenly informed by her mentor that he had something to attend to and that she would be working under the new director, Dr. Xiao, for the next month.
Naturally, Xiao Han had no objections. The rumors about how capable Dr. Xiao was, why wouldn't she take this opportunity?
Xiao Han took the materials given to her by her mentor and went to Dr. Xiao Zimo's office.
The door was slightly ajar, and Xiao Han stood outside and knocked on it.
"Come in," came a gentle voice from inside.
Xiao Han was taken aback. This voice sounded somewhat familiar.
She pushed open the door and walked in. Xiao Zimo glanced at her and said, "Close the door."
Xiao Han obediently closed the door and placed the materials she was holding on the desk. "Dr. Xiao, Dr. Li told me to work under you for the next month."
"Mm, I know. Dr. Li has already informed me," Xiao Zimo responded.
This voice... It really felt too familiar!
It sounded like... Xiao Zimo?
And he also had the surname Xiao. Xiao Han suddenly felt that it was too coincidental.
She lowered her head and carefully observed him, but unfortunately, he was wearing a mask that covered most of his face.
Xiao Zimo felt Xiao Han's gaze on him and glanced up at her. "What's the matter? Do you need something?"
"Uh, um, nothing." Xiao Han quickly averted her gaze. "Um... Director Xiao, may I ask what your name is?"
Without lifting his head, Xiao Zimo replied, "Xiao Zimo."
Xiao Han's legs went weak, almost causing her to fall. She immediately grabbed onto the table to steady herself and exclaimed, "What did you say?"
Setting down the pen in his hand, Xiao Zimo pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and stared at her. "What's the matter? Have we been apart for so long that you can't even recognize my voice?"
Xiao Han opened her mouth but ended up leaning on the table and removing his mask.
A familiar face appeared, and Xiao Han froze in place.
Xiao Zimo stood up, walked over to her, took the mask from her hand, and casually asked, "What's this? Do you have a new boyfriend and forgot about your husband?"
Xiao Zimo's voice was gentle, and his tone seemed devoid of any accusation.
Xiao Han snapped out of her daze and looked him up and down, as if he were an alien. "Xiao Zimo, your transformation is too drastic, isn't it? Besides your face, nothing else resembles how you used to be!"
..."
Is this the main point?
Xiao Zimo suddenly pulled a nearby chair and sat down, then grabbed Xiao Han's wrist and pulled her towards him.
Caught off guard, Xiao Han was unable to react and was pulled into his embrace.
Xiao Zimo gazed at her. "Now, do I look like before?"
Xiao Han was stunned, staring blankly at his face. Uncontrollable memories started flooding back.
Her heart suddenly started beating faster, and her ears inexplicably turned red.
