Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 200: First Meeting

For some reason, a thought actually rose in Rong Xingyu’s heart: So he really does look like this.

Yet Rong Xingyu was certain that he had never seen this man before.

The ward fell quiet and Rong Xingyu felt it would be inappropriate to keep standing at the doorway.

With a slight stir of emotion, Rong Xingyu had already lifted his foot and walked toward the hospital bed.

He nodded at the doctors and nurses, then smiled at Mother Rong on the bed and said, "Mom, I brought you food."

As he spoke, Rong Xingyu placed the lunchbox he was holding onto the table.

Seeing several people in white coats all gathered around Mother Rong’s bed, Rong Xingyu could not help but frown and asked worriedly,

"Excuse me, is something wrong with my mom?"

"Xiaoyu, Mom’s fine," Mother Rong saw Rong Xingyu’s expression tense up and quickly spoke to comfort him. "The doctors just came to ask about my current condition."

Rong Xingyu pressed his lips together, yet his expression did not relax.

He was worried that Mother Rong was only saying that on purpose to put his mind at ease.

At that moment, the doctor standing in the middle smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand toward Rong Xingyu.

"You’re Mrs. Rong’s family member, correct? Hello, I’m your mother’s current attending physician. My surname is Ding."

"..."

Rong Xingyu did not move.

He just looked at the doctor surnamed Ding and his brows knitting even tighter.

He remembered that the doctor previously in charge of his mother had been Doctor Lu... How had her attending physician suddenly been changed?

As if understanding what Rong Xingyu was thinking, the man explained, "Doctor Lu is my teacher. He’s had some health issues recently, so he transferred the work he was handling to me."

Faced with the man’s frank attitude, Rong Xingyu instead felt as though he had been caught gossiping behind someone’s back and suddenly overheard by the person involved and the tips of his ears reddened slightly.

"Hello, Dr. Ding."

Rong Xingyu also clasped the hand the man had extended.

At that moment, Rong Xingyu’s gaze swept over the work badge on the man’s chest, clearly seeing his name.

Ding Yixin.

Rong Xingyu subconsciously repeated the name in his mind, yet felt a sudden tightness seize his heart... his breathing could not help but grow a little hurried.

Then, all of a sudden, an itch came from his palm.

He abruptly lifted his head and looked at Ding Yixin’s eyes in disbelief.

This man, this man was actually lightly scratching his palm with his fingertip in broad daylight, right in front of everyone!

Yet Ding Yixin still wore a faint smile on his face as he looked at Rong Xingyu, appearing serious and proper to the extreme.

Other than Rong Xingyu himself, no one knew what kind of despicable thing he was doing at this very moment.

Rong Xingyu widened his eyes and a small spark of anger flared up in his heart from feeling violated.

He wanted to pull his hand back, but he had no idea what this man had eaten growing up, how could he have such great strength?

On top of that, with so many people in the room watching, Rong Xingyu could not very well make a scene.

Rong Xingyu tugged backward twice, yet still failed to pull his hand free and could only allow Ding Yixin to continue holding it.

Right in front of several nurses and Mother Rong, he was being scratched in the palm in a manner that felt almost like teasing.

Whether from anger or embarrassment, Rong Xingyu’s cheeks gradually flushed red. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ding Yixin released his hand before Rong Xingyu’s face completely reddened.

He saw Rong Xingyu quickly tuck that hand behind his back, even rubbing it a few times against his clothes in what he thought was a subtle gesture.

A glimmer of amusement flashed through Ding Yixin’s eyes.

When no one was paying attention, he lightly rubbed his fingertips together, as if savoring the sensation of skin brushing against the young man’s palm.

Just before leaving the ward, Ding Yixin even exchanged one last glance with Rong Xingyu.

Ding Yixin slowly nodded once.

Rong Xingyu: "..."

...

Rong Xingyu carried the now empty lunchbox and, after asking a nurse, he finally found Ding Yixin’s department.

When he went in, Ding Yixin was lowering his head and writing something.

Upon seeing Rong Xingyu, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"You’re here."

Ding Yixin capped his fountain pen and set it on the desk beside him, then said softly, "I thought you didn’t understand what I meant."

Thinking of what had happened in the ward, of Ding Yixin scratching his palm, Rong Xingyu’s steps paused almost imperceptibly and his expression became slightly unnatural.

Rong Xingyu had to admit that from the very first glance, he had inexplicably felt a certain fondness for this doctor he had just met.

Even though he himself did not know where this fondness came from, nor why it existed.

And it was precisely because of that that his reaction had been so intense when Ding Yixin first scratched his palm.

Unavoidably, he had felt disappointed.

But once Rong Xingyu calmed down and recalled the look Ding Yixin had given him when he left.

In the end, Rong Xingyu still came.

Feeling Ding Yixin’s gaze on him, Rong Xingyu’s face grew a little warm.

"We haven’t properly gotten to know each other yet, Xiaoyu, right?"

Ding Yixin had heard Mother Rong address Rong Xingyu that way in the ward.

Rong Xingyu nodded. "Rong as in tolerance, Xing as in stars, and Yu is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ding Yixin looked at Rong Xingyu, his expression somewhat indescribable.

"Yu as in the vast universe."

"Yu as in the vast universe."

They spoke in unison.

What Rong Xingyu had been about to say was spoken out by Ding Yixin as well.

Rong Xingyu: "..."

An indescribable hint of ambiguity suddenly spread through the air.

"Dr. Ding, is there something you wanted to say to me?" Rong Xingyu coughed lightly first and shifted his gaze away.
