Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 - 21: Rarely Did So Well

Lin Hongmei doesn't hate Han Dong, but she hates Sun Chan. Ever since he met that fox spirit, his attitude changed; she definitely seduced him and ruined her chance to become a wealthy wife!

At the hospital, Li Zhaodi, introduced by Aunt Wang, had been waiting for some time, and finally someone introduced a patient who had just undergone heart surgery.

Who knew that just as she got the job, she would awkwardly ask Sun Chan, "Can you watch the patient for a while? I need to send a telegram home today to tell them I found work, or else they'll worry about me. I'll be back soon. The patient just had surgery and hasn't woken up yet, so it won't trouble you much."

Sun Chan thought going a bit later wouldn't be a problem, so she agreed.

"You're so great, thank you, Sun Chan." Li Zhaodi was very happy and ran off quickly.

Sun Chan went into the ward. The patient looked very frail, with closed eyes and still unconscious. She quietly sat by the bedside. She intended to read a book, but to her surprise, Han Dong came through the door.

Sun Chan was shocked and feared waking the patient, "What are you doing here?"

Han Dong was a bit frustrated, "Why are you always like this? You know I'm not pursuing you anymore, can't we just be friends?"

Sun Chan calmly looked at him, "Friendship should happen naturally. Your forceful approach is uncomfortable for me. Just because you're serious for once, doesn't mean I have to accept it, right?"

"What kind of man do you like? I'll change!"

"What do you like about me? I'll change."

Han Dong looked defeated; he thought he wasn't bad-looking, had money, yet he couldn't catch her eye.

Sun Chan said, "Friendship happens naturally, not because you keep pestering. We won't just become friends that way."

"I won't pester you, but don't ignore me either. Why don't you just point out my flaws and, once I change, you'll see my sincerity."

Sun Chan glanced at him, "My friends are all doing something meaningful. I don't like you coming to the hospital every day."

"Got it, I'll find something to do." You could have said earlier that you liked career-oriented people.

Sun Chan stopped talking. Over time, she realized Han Dong wasn't necessarily bad, just a bit twisted regarding romantic relationships; he looked down on women, thinking small favors could win them over, which she disliked.

"Don't worry, I understand what you mean, and I'll improve. My big brother says I'm smart, and once I improve, I'll surely surpass others." Han Dong was excited, confident he could win her heart since she finally wasn't glaring at him.

Sun Chan said, "Men and women should keep their distance. Stop looking for me all the time; it affects my work."

"Understood! I'll head back now and see you in a couple of days!" Han Dong walked off, grinning.

Su Chan reluctantly smiled and picked up her book.

Li Zhaodi returned in less than an hour, said some grateful words, and Sun Chan politely replied before leaving. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

That night, she stayed at Wang Dan's place. When everyone returned to see Sun Chan there, setting the table, she made hand-pulled noodles paired with sour beans; it tasted great.
