Chapter 1063: She believes her senior fellow apprentice would not quarrel.

Seeing someone coming in, Zhijie Tao lifted his eyes to meet those of the incoming junior. His handsome baby face temporarily lost its usual award-winning smile, and his crescent eyes squinted lightly.

Standing in front of him, Cao Yong had a sharp gaze, which quickly swept over him before turning away.

Both of them, seemingly in unison, turned their attention to Xie Wanying who had been talking all the way.

Obviously, the words she had spoken were at least—

“Dr. Cao—” He Guangyou was nervous enough to swallow, worried that these two might start arguing irrationally like they did four years ago.

“Teacher He, don’t be nervous, they won’t fight,” Xie Wanying said.

Being new here, she wouldn’t know about these two’s past. He Guangyou felt like putting his hands on his hips and glaring at her.

Xie Wanying had heard from Student Zhao that the two seniors had had a falling out before. Since then, she had been pondering the issue and had come to a different conclusion from others, saying, “Senior Cao and Senior Tao are not the kind of people who would argue and fall out. The reason is simple—they won’t say hurtful things during an argument, so where could there be a possibility of falling out?”

If there was a possibility of argument leading to falling out, Senior Brother Yu would be the prime candidate. In a rush, with a hot head, he might unintentionally say things that hurt others without realizing what he said. Moreover, he didn’t realize the hurtfulness of his words afterward. Everyone who knew his temper just considered him straightforward, taking his complaints as nothing serious.

Senior Brother Yu belonged to the type like Lu Zhishen. Therefore, a person’s character doesn’t always match his appearance completely. Who would have thought the dignified-looking Senior Brother Yu, just like Senior Kang, wasn’t truly genteel in character?

Since the two had similar temperaments, they would shout during arguments and forget everything afterward, thus becoming a couple discussing marriage. This shows that compatibility in marriage really has empirical support.

Those who really acted consistent with their appearance were considered deep, such as Senior Tao, Senior Cao, Master Tan, Teacher Fu, the elders—they genuinely showed their true selves openly without fear of any nicknames like Smiling Buddha.

After hearing her words, the others thought that the one who truly was consistent inside and out should be her; absolutely what was on her mind was written on her face—single-minded.

A low chuckle emerged from Zhijie Tao’s throat. Following that, he turned his face back first, picking up the mug beside him and taking a sip of tea.

Seeing that the two really didn’t argue, He Guangyou felt like he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Cao Yong sat down next to Xie Wanying and softly asked her, “Have you finished dinner?”

Could it be that Senior Cao came specially because he was afraid she hadn’t finished eating dinner and was called over by Senior Tao? Xie Wanying blinked.

“Yes,” Cao Yong nodded at her, his eyes carrying a knowing smile, “I was afraid you were gnawing at medical records and dined too long, he assumed you would have finished dinner by this time.”

Having had dinner with her several times, Senior Cao knew that she ate slowly and chewed thoroughly. Only when eating slowly could one digest the food completely, which normally wouldn’t be very slow. However, if she were reading something while eating, she might not finish eating at a normal pace.

Hearing Cao Yong’s words, Zhijie Tao turned back to ask her, “Haven’t you finished dinner?”

“The brothers probably don’t feel like eating a full meal tonight,” Xie Wanying said.

“Don’t beat around the bush!” several people pointed out to her sternly at the same time.
