"Actually, the townsfolk already assume you two are a couple." Another woman couldn't help but chime in.
Chen Zhi, surrounded by the three women, truly felt like she couldn't explain herself.

He stood not far away, smiling and waving at her, "Hurry back, it's really busy at the clinic. If you don't come back soon, I can't handle it all by myself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhi quickly said goodbye to the three women and jogged over to Chu Yan, "I'm so sorry, I forgot the time."
"It's alright, let's go, we'll head back." Chu Yan attempted to reach for her hand, but Chen Zhi sensitively dodged in time.
She sneaked a glance at Chu Yan, whose face remained calm without a hint of discomfort.
