All the Female Protagonists Who Have Been Saved Have Become Obsessed [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 10

The sun slanted west, and Zhou Li’s shadow fell over Chunshui.

She stood while Chunshui sat.

Chunshui’s pupils contracted slightly. Her slender fingers gripped the edge of the file, struggling to keep her voice steady so Zhou Li wouldn’t notice anything off.

Chunshui said, “Doctor Zhou’s joking.”

Zhou Li replied, “If you think it’s a joke, then it’s a joke.”

She turned to pack up the tray.

Chunshui’s brows furrowed sharply.

Zhou Li, serious-faced, gathered her things, took the tray, and left the ward, closing the door. Then she removed her glasses, covered her face with one hand, and lowered her head, shoulders shaking.

The two bodyguards at the door exchanged glances. The one on the left hesitated, asking, “Doctor, are you okay?”

Zhou Li started, swallowing the laughter bubbling in her throat. She wiped tears from stifling her laugh with her sleeve, coughed, and hurried off. Like a gust, she dropped the tray at the nurses’ station, dashed into the hallway, leaned against the wall, and burst into loud laughter.

“System, haha, did you see the female protagonist’s face? I swear she was about to crack, haha.” Zhou Li couldn’t stop laughing.

System: “This joke isn’t funny.”

Zhou Li huffed. “It’s funny to me.” She wiped the tears from laughing. “She misunderstood me for no reason. Now it’s her turn to squirm.”

System: “…”

Zhou Li: “She slandered my honor. I’m just fighting back normally!”

System: “As long as it doesn’t affect the mission, do what makes you happy, host.”

Zhou Li hummed twice, returned to her office, and contacted the chubby lady.

The chubby lady, named Bai SuFang, had paused their fitness routine due to her child’s injury.

She was thrilled to get Zhou Li’s call.

Bai SuFang said, “Is Doctor Zhou free today?”

Zhou Li replied, “Just finished work, so I had time to call. How’s Lanlan?”

Bai SuFang was grateful over the phone. “The ointment you brought was miraculous. Lanlan’s wounds scabbed after a few applications. I’m embarrassed to say, it’s not that I doubted your skills, but her dad found out about the injury yesterday and insisted I take her to the hospital today. They did all the tests, and Lanlan’s fine. The experts were shocked at how fast her scabs formed, saying she might be healed in a couple of days. They even want to meet you.”

Zhou Li’s heart skipped, responding to Bai SuFang while asking the system, “Is it okay that others know about the ointment’s effects?”

She was a bit worried.

System, slowly: “It’s formulated within current medical standards. They can’t replicate it because they’re not the Main God. No one will notice anything unusual.”

Tch, such a boast.

Zhou Li sighed inwardly, then relaxed, focusing on Bai SuFang.

Zhou Li said, “Oh, you’re exaggerating, Madam.”

Bai SuFang replied, “That expert pestered me for ages, so I gave him your contact info. If you don’t want to talk, just reject his call.”

Zhou Li laughed. “Got it.”

Bai SuFang said, “I spoke too much, but your call was perfect timing. My husband heard you helped Lanlan and insists on treating you to dinner to thank you. Are you free this weekend, Doctor Zhou?”

The opportunity had arrived!

Zhou Li said cheerfully, “This weekend works.”

Bai SuFang laughed over the phone. “I love your straightforward personality, Doctor Zhou. Saturday, then.”

“Deal.” Zhou Li nodded.

Hanging up, Zhou Li clenched her fist.

The mission was progressing smoother than expected. Except for the female protagonist being tricky, this task was practically seamless. She wondered why her predecessors left warnings about Chunshui. Was it just her difficult nature?

Zhou Li chuckled.

She checked online again. The “Zhou Xi apologize” tag was trending high, but after a day, Zhou Xi’s side remained silent.

What a coward, so patient.

Zhou Li raised an eyebrow.

She’d have to wait and see.

Another internal call came, so Zhou Li handled her job, putting online matters aside.

Chunshui finished rehab in her ward. She went to the bathroom, wet a towel, and wiped the sweat from her face. The bodyguards helped the therapist move equipment. Freshened up, she stepped out, saw the blue folder on the nightstand, and recalled Zhou Li’s words.

Chunshui stood quietly for a moment.

A bodyguard entered, asking, “Boss, anything else?”

Chunshui asked slowly, “What was the doctor’s expression when she left?”

The bodyguard hesitated. “You mean Doctor Li? He…”

“Doctor Zhou,” Chunshui interrupted.

The bodyguard paused. “Doctor Zhou? She seemed to be crying.”

He wasn’t sure.

But her shoulders were shaking so much—probably crying, right? Didn’t she wipe her eyes?

He and his colleague even discussed how their new boss was so fierce, making a doctor cry.

Chunshui’s fingers curled.

“I see. You can go.”

The sunset stained the sky red. Chunshui changed into light clothing. Her personal assistant wasn’t here yet, so she had the bodyguards grab two meals from the hospital cafeteria. Feeling apologetic, she knocked on Zhou Li’s office door.

Chunshui: “Doctor Zhou?”

The door opened with one knock. She scanned the office, called twice more, but no one answered.

Doctor Zhou’s office door always seemed easy to push open.

Chunshui thought, waving the bodyguards off to eat and switch shifts. She left the door open, carried the meals, and sat in the office’s reception area.

After a while, a phone rang in the office.

Chunshui looked at Zhou Li’s desk.

Did Doctor Zhou forget her phone?

She stood, walking to the desk. The computer screen, previously asleep, lit up. Chunshui glanced at it and froze.

On the screen, the ID OnePunchBlastsTheWorld glared in red, with 99+ notification dots dazzling her eyes.

OnePunchBlastsTheWorld was Zhou Li?!

Chunshui stared at the screen, her hand uncontrollably reaching for the mouse.

Voices came from the hallway. “Dean, we’re leaving.”

Zhou Li, smiling, said, “Drive safely.”

Chunshui pulled her hand back, quickly walked out, took a few deep breaths, and sat back on the reception sofa.

Zhou Li saw someone at her office door and raised an eyebrow.

It was after hours—why was someone here?

Closer, she recognized a familiar face.

“Doctor Zhou,” the bodyguard greeted politely. “My boss is waiting inside.”

Zhou Li looked in. Chunshui sat in the reception area, watching her.

“After hours, why are you here?” Zhou Li placed a stack of patient files on the desk.

Chunshui stood, saying, “I came to apologize.”

“Oh?” Zhou Li turned, frowning at the lit computer screen.

She forgot to lock it before leaving—did the female protagonist see?

Zhou Li shut off the screen’s power.

Chunshui noticed her heart racing for a moment.

Realizing Zhou Li was OnePunchBlastsTheWorld was shocking but made sense, given Zhou Li liked her.

Creating that detailed timeline required immense patience, research, and logic—qualities Zhou Li had.

Chunshui felt touched for a moment, then looked away.

Doctor Zhou was great, but they weren’t suited.
