I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 256: Are you after her good looks?

The arrival of the interns brought several more outstanding single colleagues to the hospital.

It's the kind of place where there are more men than women.

The single interns suddenly became highly sought after, keeping the matchmaking older women and men at the hospital extremely busy.

Young, capable men like Xia Yang, who also come from well-off families, are the most popular.

Comrade Xia Yang became close to Dr. Sun during the first two days after his arrival. Later, whether he was accompanying Dr. Sun on ward rounds, eating in the canteen, or even when treating patients, he would ask them a few questions.

"Why didn't they ask you?" Xia Yang asked Yuan Xiu as he finally saw the patient out the door.

"You said you're a patient here for treatment?" Yuan Xiu glanced at him, smiling as she wrote down the pulse diagnosis she had just prepared. "If you ask, the patient is either a military family member or an employee of a nearby related unit. Do you think they wouldn't recognize me?"

Xia Yang paused, then... it seems unlikely that they didn't know each other.

"Since you know me, you naturally know that I'm married and have children, so why would you ask me this question?"

After Yuan Xiu finished speaking, she looked up at Xia Yang and said, "If you think there's someone suitable, you can meet them. If they're not outstanding women, they won't make a move. Look at the other interns, I heard they've all become couples. Maybe we can have wedding candy after the internship is over."

Xia Yang: "Don't add fuel to the fire."

Well, to describe advising someone to go on a blind date as adding fuel to the fire shows how resistant they are to it.

It seems that what Sister Xiulan was talking about is not going to happen.

You can't keep talking about people; if you do, they'll come running.

On her way home from get off work, Yuan Xiu ran into Sister Xiulan.

"Xiao Yuan, how's it going? What did Comrade Xia say?"

Yuan Xiu shook her head. "Sister-in-law, I'm really not suited to be a matchmaker. Why don't you ask someone else?"

"You and I are the closest in this hospital. Comrade Xia is your classmate. Besides you, who else is more suitable?" Sister Xiulan patted her hand. "You and my Yingying are so close, you have to keep an eye on her."

That's right. Sister-in-law Xiulan has taken a liking to Xia Yang and is eager to introduce him to her sister-in-law, Sun Ying.

I think they're about the same age and look like a perfect match!

Although her sister-in-law only graduated from a vocational school, which is not as good as a college student, what does it matter?

Her husband, Lao Sun, is now a deputy regimental-level cadre. After graduating, Sun Ying was assigned to work in the propaganda department of the art troupe. She is a writer. Even if her future prospects were not as good as Comrade Xia Yang's, they were not bad either. She is definitely a high-quality single woman!

Sister-in-law Xiulan was worried about her sister-in-law's marriage, but her sister-in-law Sun Ying had other ideas.

"Please don't say that. I know what I'm doing."

Yuan Xiu: "Is something going on?"

Sun Ying blushed slightly, "You'll find out then."

"Now that you have it, why don't you mention it to your sister-in-law so she won't have to worry about it?"

Sun Ying sighed, "I'm afraid she's not that willing."

Yuan Xiu understood; Sun Ying, this "partner," might not be a very good match.

When Sun Ying said "at that time," she meant the day Wang Ting got married.

In order to return for this wedding, Wang Ting and her husband, who had already obtained their marriage certificate, came back a week early.

Yuan Xiu and Sun Ying hadn't seen her for a long time, so they found some time to get together and even helped with the wedding arrangements.

These past two years have changed. In the past, when people would just give a pair of towels and pillowcases as wedding favors and go for some wedding candy, it was all over. Now, it's becoming popular to hold wedding banquets. Commissar Wang knows a lot of people, and with relatives and friends all together, there are more than ten tables of people.

Everyone knows that things shouldn't be too extravagant, lest it have a bad influence. On the wedding day, people who aren't close to the family will send just one person, while close relatives will send the whole family, like Yuan Xiu's family.

The two children became "rolling children" on the bed.

"Roll around, press down, and you'll have a pair of chubby babies next year!"

Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi lay on the bed covered with red sheets, one rolling east and the other west, uttering auspicious words in their childish voices.

"Roll around in bed with Dong, have a little brother to be a hero!"

"Roll around in bed, and you'll have a little sister to wear in a flowery dress!"

"May the dragon and phoenix twins roll around on the bed, bringing the newlyweds eternal happiness!"

"Wow! Who wrote these lyrics? It's amazing that these little kids can remember them all." The friends and relatives watching joked with laughter.

Qiaoqiao and Zhizhi said in unison, "Daddy made it!"

"Your dad is amazing!"

The two little ones were even happier than if they had received praise themselves, and they grinned, showing off their tiny teeth.

"They're so adorable! I really hope Xiaoting and her husband can have twins, a boy and a girl!"

The adults were delighted and stuffed handfuls of candy into their pockets, filling both pockets to bursting.

Only then did Yuan Xiu take the two little ones, who had just finished rolling around in bed, to the hotel where Wang Ting had booked for her wedding.

Sun Ying stood at the door, craning her neck, seemingly looking at something.

"They're probably not waiting for me, are they?"

Sun Ying took her hand, "I've been waiting for you."

Yuan Xiu glanced at her, thinking, "I'd be a fool to believe you."

Sun Ying was indeed not waiting for Yuan Xiu. The person she was waiting for arrived before the banquet started, along with several members of the cultural troupe. These were all comrades with whom Wang Ting had a particularly good relationship in the cultural troupe.

Even though Sun Ying didn't have much contact with that male art troupe soldier, Yuan Xiu could still guess from the expression on Sun Ying's face that the man was the "boyfriend" that Sun Ying had kept from her family.

He was a very handsome gay man, very young, probably in his early twenties, tall, with long legs, like a male actor on TV.

"Can good looks put food on the table?" Before Wang Ting's wedding banquet was over, Sister-in-law Xiulan pulled Sun Ying aside.

"I've asked around, and that person is a year younger than you. I heard their family is from the countryside, and they're just a performing arts soldier dancing. It's a job that only lasts a short time. You, on the other hand, are a cadre..."

Before Sister Xiulan could finish speaking, Sun Ying interrupted her, "So what if he's a cadre? Who said he can't be promoted in the future? Sister-in-law, don't talk about rural life. Weren't we from the countryside before? You've forgotten too quickly, haven't you?"

Sister-in-law Xiulan said anxiously, "Don't think I don't know. Do you think it's so easy for a performing arts soldier to get promoted? At his age, how long will it take for him to get promoted? I've also heard that since he's still serving, if he wants to get married, he either has to get promoted or he'll have to wait until he becomes a volunteer soldier. Are you really going to wait for him?"

Sun Ying nodded: "I'll wait for him."

These words angered Xiulan's sister-in-law, who pointed at her and said, "Tell me the truth, are you attracted to her looks? Are you just after her good-looking?"

Sun Ying remained silent.
