39: Chapter 39 The Gossip Never Stops

In the evening, a private restaurant near the Hospital was very lively.

Over twenty doctors and nurses were seated around two long tables, eating and chatting happily.

"Oh my, Lin Baixuan, I didn't expect your younger brother to be so handsome!"

"That's right, Lin Baixuan, if I had known your brother was this handsome, I would have introduced my aunt's niece to you!"

"The younger brother is at A University? How impressive!"

"..."

I don't know what happened, but even though Lin Xiao tried very hard to lower his presence, he was still teased by everyone.

Some of these people were women in their forties, and some were young ladies around Lin Baixuan's age.

They seemed very interested in him, asking endless questions.

Lin Xiao cast a pleading look at Lin Baixuan from time to time, but Lin Baixuan just silently lowered her head to eat, acting as if she didn't see it.

Having no choice, Lin Xiao had to maintain an awkward smile and answer their questions one by one.

Lin Baixuan didn't expect her younger brother to be so popular either.

But since everyone's attention had been diverted, she was happy to have some relief.

Not only was it noisy around him, but the gossip system in Lin Xiao's mind kept making noises.

Originally, he found it noisy and wanted to make the gossip system go quiet temporarily.

But after hearing a few pieces of gossip, he couldn't help his gossiping heart.

[Oh ho, this young nurse is actually having an affair with The male doctor over there! But that The male doctor looks old enough to be her father... So it's an extramarital affair? Thrilling!]

[Eh? The two children of this model couple in the department are actually not the man's? Tsk tsk tsk, they look so happy and harmonious, you really can't judge a book by its cover!]

[The pregnant nurse is actually carrying a XYY syndrome son? She knows it herself, but can't bear to abort it? What? This child will grow up to be a super perverted serial killer? Mark it, stay away from them in the future.]

...

Lin Xiao was clicking his tongue in amazement.

The gossip he heard tonight was more than what he usually got in a month.

It was truly spectacular!

He suddenly felt that those older ladies weren't that annoying anymore.

What Lin Xiao didn't know was that Lin Baixuan was having an even better time.

All night long, she was not only spared from being pestered by those people, but she also enjoyed the gossip by listening to his inner voice.

Most importantly, the gossip she got from Lin Xiao was something she hadn't heard a whisper of before.

Throughout the department, perhaps no one except the parties involved knew about it.

This made Lin Baixuan feel an inexplicable excitement.

She used to think she wasn't interested in these things at all, but somehow, she was getting more and more addicted now.

Could it be... that the essence of humanity is gossip?

Lin Xiao was parched from dealing with these people's questions.

Fortunately, everyone was a doctor and didn't have the habit of staying up too late.

Around ten o'clock, some people started to show signs of wanting to leave.

But just at this moment, The male doctor suddenly walked over to Lin Baixuan, swaying with the smell of alcohol.

Seeing this, alarm bells rang in Lin Xiao's heart.

At the same time, the gossip system in his mind updated with new gossip in time.

"Dr. Lin, it's still early, shall we go to the next round later?"

The male doctor sat down in the seat next to Lin Baixuan, his eyes full of hidden meaning.

"Sorry, I need to take my younger brother back to school in a while."

Lin Baixuan remained expressionless and said in a distant tone.

"Oh my, your brother is already twenty, can't he take a taxi back by himself?"

The male doctor, emboldened by the alcohol, leaned closer to Lin Baixuan, "It's rare to come out and play tonight, we should have fun!"

Lin Baixuan moved away quietly and continued to refuse, "Sorry, you guys have fun, I won't go."

A refusal this clear would have caused anyone with a bit of decency to give up.

But for some reason, The male doctor continued talking to himself.

Lin Baixuan frowned slightly, not wanting to continue entangling with him.

Before she could stand up, The male doctor suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, "Dr. Lin, even if you think I'm being presumptuous today, there are some things I must tell you!"

His voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of those around them.

Everyone was a colleague, so they didn't think this was harassment by The male doctor at first; instead, many felt it was interesting and started cheering.

"Xiao Lu, are you trying to confess?"

"Wow wow wow, so romantic!"

"..."

Everyone present had drunk quite a bit, and no one noticed Lin Baixuan's gradually darkening expression.

Lin Xiao stood up immediately and silently blocked in front of Lin Baixuan.

To save face for his sister, he didn't tear off his mask immediately.

"This brother, you've had too much to drink."

Lin Xiao kept a polite smile on his face, but he had already started cursing in his heart.

[Damn, you total pervert! I've never seen someone so shameless!]

[Your own sexual orientation is male, and you're a damn switch! How disgusting!]

[You really have no shame at all. Do you really think others don't know anything, and you're here pretending to be drunk to take advantage of my sister?]

...

Lin Baixuan was stunned as she listened to Lin Xiao's inner voice.

She had worked with The male doctor before and considered him a colleague she could talk to.

She didn't expect him to be so disgusting!

She couldn't help but look him up and down, her gaze lingering briefly on his private parts.

A switch?

That means he...

Lin Baixuan couldn't help but imagine it, and almost vomited out what she had just eaten in disgust.
