Chapter 15
A Girl’s Bright-eyed Smile
Mu Anan instantly understood what Seventh Master meant.
Zong Zhengyu knew about internships at the hospital, so he arranged for her to go to First Affiliated.
Mu Anan hesitated for a moment before she said, “But the school has placed us.”
“So?”
Seventh Master gave her a quick and bossy glance.
So what if it the school had placed her?
In the entire Jianglan City, who would dare to stop him, Zong Zhengyu, from making special arrangements?
Mu Anan pursed her lips.
Zong Zhengyu was already impatient. “Eat your dinner.”
Mu Anan lowered her head and put a piece of steak into her mouth.
But she was still thinking about how her internship placement moved from a mental hospital to First Affiliated.
Although given Mu Anan’s grades, her teacher had already told her that she would be placed at First Affiliated. Her being sent to Blue Sky Mental Hospital was an obvious sabotage.
She was indeed a little upset.
But Mu Anan did not want to mobilize Seventh Master.
She had been keeping a low profile in school because she didn’t want to cause any trouble and arouse Jiang Qin’s suspicion.
Jiang Qin had already secretly hired someone to investigate her because of her name when she found out that Mu Anan was in the same class as her.
When Mu Anan was eating her second piece of steak, she couldn’t eat anymore and put down her fork.
She looked up at Zong Zhengyu and said, “Seventh Master, I want to discuss this.”
“Let’s discuss after dinner.” Zong Zhengyu replied without raising his head.
Although Mu Anan really wanted to talk, she did not disobey him and ate quietly.
After dinner, Zong Zhengyu answered a work call.
Mu Anan sat on the sofa in the living room with her knees together, reading a book on mental health.
Zong Zhengyu took the work call standing by the French windows, occasionally looking back at his obedient child.
She was wearing a white sweater with a pleated skirt. Her slender and fair thighs were held tightly together and her long hair hung down slightly as she lowered her head.
Under the ceiling light, she was a beautiful picture of a quiet girl.
However, the girl who was reading seriously seemed to have sensed his gaze and immediately looked up to meet Seventh Master’s gaze.
Seventh Master moved away quietly and continued to talk on the phone with his back to Mu Anan.
Mu Anan looked at the time.
Seventh Master’s work calls were especially long.
Mu Anan sighed and read quietly.
After some time, Seventh Master finally ended the call and sat next to Mu Anan on the sofa.
Mu Anan closed her book and looked up at Zong Zhengyu. “Seventh Master, shall we talk now?”
Zong Zhengyu took the glass and poured water down his throat, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
Mu Anan felt her mouth go dry.
At this moment, Mu Anan realized that a man could portray the word “sexy” very clearly.
She shifted her gaze away and went straight to the point. “I want to do my internship at the mental hospital.”
Mu Anan took a deep breath silently.
Zong Zhengyu seemed to have known what was on her mind and put down his glass of water. “Why?”
Mu Anan replied, “Do you remember the summer trip you took me on after my college entrance examination? During which we saved a drowning boy by the beach?”
“You saved him.” Zong Zhengyu corrected her.
“Back then, you told me that I glowed when I saved people. When I went to the hospital to see the drowning boy and he thanked me, I was sure that I want to be a doctor.”
Seventh Master, I would like to always glow in your eyes.
I want to be your child forever.
Naturally, Mu Anan did not share any of her young girl’s thoughts. She only expressed her respect for doctors and her pursuit of the medical profession.
“This doesn’t conflict with my arrangement.” Zong Zhengyu said.
Mu Anan could not help but admire Seventh Master’s logic, but she still wanted to argue her case. “Although I’m placed at a mental hospital, it’s also my duty as a doctor.”
“Doctors don’t choose patients, they save them. Besides, everyone has opinions about mental patients. As a doctor, I definitely shouldn’t discriminate against them.”
Mu Anan reached out and grabbed Zong Zhengyu’s hand. Her voice was soft. “Seventh Master, just let me go. When I can’t take it anymore, I will tell you. You can reassign me then.”
Zong Zhengyu did not speak.
He knew this girl too well.
She was bold and stubborn.
Even if she really couldn’t take it, she wouldn’t say it. She would just be stubborn to the end.
“Seventh Master, I know you care about me. You are Seventh Master, Zong Zhengyu. As the ‘Little Seventh Master’, I’m no weakling either.”
Mu Anan said as she flexed her biceps at Zong Zhengyu.
Zong Zhengyu’s cold expression gave way to an easy smile when he saw her do that.
Mu Anan was meticulous, and she observed Seventh Master closely as they spoke. Seeing his softened expression, she knew that there was room for negotiation.
She quickly followed up. “What’s more, there are so many little b*tches in school waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Waiting for me to quit the mental hospital, waiting for me to go crazy. I must become the best intern at the mental hospital!”
Mu Anan raised her chin slightly at the end of her sentence.
She was very confident and proud.
Zong Zhengyu really liked this look in her eyes.
The confident and proud little princess with bright eyes who was fearless.
Zong Zhengyu reached out and stroked Mu Anan’s head.
“Seventh Master, can I?” Mu Anan asked nervously.
Zong Zhengyu stared at Mu Anan, his eyes slightly dark. “You won’t regret your actions?”
“You know I never regret anything.” Mu Anan continued with a smile, “Besides, I promise that there won’t be any problems. You have to believe in my ability and professionalism.”
Zong Zhengyu was staring at Mu Anan, but when he heard this, his expression became a little mysterious.
His eyes looking into Mu Anan’s suddenly deepened and he did not say a word.
Mu Anan thought that Seventh Master was going to agree to her request.
However, when Seventh Master suddenly stopped talking, she felt a little nervous but she didn’t rush him.
About three minutes later, Zong Zhengyu broke eye contact and said, “Fine.”
Mu Anan’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard this and a bright smile blossomed on her face.
She suddenly got up, hugged Zong Zhengyu and pecked him on the cheek. “Thank you, Seventh Master!”
Mu Anan then sat back down hurriedly.
Her heart was still beating wildly.
She was really happy.
And her excited gratitude to Seventh Master was also real.
The kiss was also real.
However, the peck she gave him wasn’t just a child thanking her elder. It contained a little selfishness.
Seventh Master’s face felt much colder than she had thought.
But it felt very comfortable when her lips touched his skin.
Zong Zhengyu reached out and stroked Mu Anan’s head, his eyes full of affection. “Happy now?”
Mu Anan nodded with a charming face. “Very happy.”
After saying that, she felt that it was not enough and added, “My Seventh Master is the most understanding person in the world.”
“You cheeky monkey.” Zong Zhengyu pinched Mu Anan’s nose hard.
Mu Anan sniffed and smiled.
When the little fox smiled, her eyes were bright and beautiful.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go up and rest.” Zong Zhengyu withdrew his hand.
Mu Anan nodded. “Then I’ll excuse myself and go up first. Seventh Master, good night.”
“Good night.”
Upon hearing Zong Zhengyu’s reply, Mu Anan stood up with the book in her arms and walked upstairs to her room.
As soon as she arrived at her room, the phone on her bedside table, which she used as Zong Qi, chimed.
It was a WeChat message.
Zong Qi’s WeChat only had Jiang Qin, but Mu Anan had already deleted Jiang Qin’s contact.
Mu Anan picked up her phone out of curiosity. When she saw the message, she raised her eyebrows.
