Chapter 350 Some Trivial Matters (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After the incident with Qingdai last time, the story quickly spread through the little nurses' chatter, and it seemed like everyone in the hospital knew about it. The general assessment of Chen Yu's behavior, giving away the sweets someone made for him right in front of them, was not particularly high.

However, most of those who thought Chen Yu was unappreciative of women's feelings were male doctors. As for the female doctors and little nurses, they thought Chen Yu's actions precisely reflected his love for Jounouchi Hiromi, causing many single nurses to envy her. Consequently, these nurses' gazes at Chen Yu also began to change noticeably.

Yet, facing these matters, both Jounouchi Hiromi and Chen Yu didn't pay much attention.

As for Jounouchi Hiromi, what she cared about the most now was her Artificial Womb research and whether or not Egawa Sae's child could develop normally. She truly had no time to care about all sorts of rumors and gossip.

Chen Yu cared even less about these things. Instead, the way those little nurses looked at him, and some more audacious ones blatantly giving him love-filled bento and chocolates, caused him some trouble.

Though he usually rejected their gifts outright, some nurses would just thrust them into his arms and run away, leaving him no time to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept these items and deal with them later.

This also troubled Chen Yu's little secretary, Shirai Reina because apart from leaving the chocolates at the nurse station for the nurses to share, his only other option was to give them to her.

As for taking them home to Jounouchi Hiromi... Chen Yu felt his brain wasn't fried enough to bring home other women's gifts for his fiancée to eat.

Chocolates were easy to deal with, but the love-filled bento put Chen Yu in a bit of a bind.

These love-filled bento were clearly made by the nurses, following recipes or tutorial videos, and while the skill varied, none was particularly delicious though none were awful either.

But one thing was certain, all these love-filled bento would have heart shapes made with various ingredients or words like "like" or "love" written on them to express affection.

"Do you like chocolate? Then take it." Hearing this from Kube Rokuro, Chen Yu, without hesitation, stuffed the chocolate into Rokuro's arms, and while heading to the office, he seriously asked, "What's the case about?"

"It's a case of burglary turned sexual assault leading to death. The victim was a woman in her thirties. We have extracted the perpetrator's DNA from under the victim's fingernails and bodily fluids left on her. We hope the hospital can help with comparing it to identify the suspect."

"Hm, it's a small task. Let me see the information," Chen Yu said and reached out his hand to Kube Rokuro.

Kube Rokuro quickly pocketed the chocolate and took out the documents from his bag, handing them to Chen Yu.

Although the issue could have been handled through email, because there were also questions about magic he wanted to ask Chen Yu, Kube Rokuro delivered the documents personally, hoping to take this opportunity to ask about some magic-related questions.

"Brother Yu, about those magic runes..." Kube Rokuro began, but Chen Yu gave him a sidelong glance that made him shut his mouth and quickly changed his phrasing. "I still don't recognize some of the words in the book you gave me. Do you have a dictionary for that script? I really want to study it seriously."

"You want to learn that script?" Hearing this, Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.

He had originally thought Kube Rokuro wanted to learn magic just for fun and that giving him a Magic Book was enough, especially since Rokuro didn't have the talent or potential to learn magic. Having a book to cast spells was quite sufficient entertainment for him.

But unexpectedly, Kube Rokuro seemed to be very interested in learning about Magic runes, which took Chen Yu by surprise.

Yet, after considering Kube Rokuro's request, Chen Yu nodded and told him, "There is no dictionary for recording that script, but I can compile a tutorial for you. That script isn't easy to learn; take it back and see if you can teach yourself. If there's anything you don't get, you can come back and ask me later."

"Great, thank you, Brother Yu!" Kube Rokuro was immediately over the moon and nodded energetically.
