The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the street. Jiang Yubai and Shen Qingli were sitting in the car, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Jiang Yubai saw Shen Qingli frowning slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and quickly said: "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll think of another way."

Shen Qingli pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother, it's not inconvenient. Healing and saving lives is my mission."

She paused and continued, "If I can help Auntie, I will be very happy."

"Brother, have you brought Auntie's medical report? I'll see if I can do this operation first."

Jiang Yubai nodded quickly, said "I've got it", and quickly got out of the car, took the inspection form from the back seat, and handed it to Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli took it and looked at the checklist intently. As her eyes moved, her brows gradually wrinkled.

Jiang Yubai's previous major was also medicine, so he naturally knew that his mother's illness was a bit tricky.

After a long time, Shen Qingli raised his head, his expression serious: "Brother, Auntie's operation is a bit difficult."

She bit her lower lip slightly, as if thinking about how to phrase it. "I'm afraid I can't accomplish it alone."

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Does that mean there is no hope?"

Seeing this, Shen Qingli quickly comforted him, "Not really, I can take this film back to our director and maybe he can find a way."

Jiang Yubai's eyes were full of gratitude: "Xiao Li, thank you."

Shen Qingli shook his head gently with a gentle smile on his face: "You're welcome, Senior Brother. I'll call you later."

As she spoke, she unbuckled her seat belt and prepared to get out of the car.

Jiang Yubai leaned his hands on the door and subconsciously did not let Shen Qingli get out of the car.

놛 hesitated for a moment, as if mustering up a lot of courage, and then asked: "Xiao Li, are you and Zhou Yanchen together again?"

Shen Qingli didn't expect Jiang Yubai to ask this question. Her heart tightened a little. She really didn't want to answer this question.

But she still took a deep breath and maintained a proper smile: "No, but because of the children, we have more contact."

Shen Qingli knew the deeper meaning behind Jiang Yu's words. After all, they were all adults, and some things were self-evident.

She paused and said seriously, "Brother, I don't care who I will spend the rest of my life with. I just want to accompany my child and let him grow up well."

"I don't consider anything else."

Jiang Yubai understood what she meant, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly adjusted himself and said with a smile: "Li Li, some things are hard to say. Maybe in the future you will meet someone who can make your heart beat again."

Shen Qingli smiled faintly, with a hint of helplessness in her smile: "Maybe!"

She checked the time and then said, "Brother, I'm still busy."

"Where are you going? I'll take you there." Jiang Yubai said hurriedly.

Shen Qingli tightly grasped the bag in her hand and politely refused: "Brother, no need, I'll take the bus, you can go back quickly."

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Jiang Yubai did not force her any more.

After sending Shen Qingli to the taxi, Jiang Yubai got in the car and looked in the direction she left, his eyes darkening.

I silently said in my heart: Li, you are the one who makes my heart beat.

After all these years, I won't give up again.

…

Shen Qingli went to the mall to buy some things before returning to the hospital.

When approaching the ward door, Shen Qingli raised his eyes subconsciously, and his eyes instantly met Zhou Yanchen who was standing there.

Zhou Yanchen's eyes fell directly on her, as if he wanted to see through her.

Shen Qingli's heart tightened, and an inexplicable irritation surged in her heart. She didn't want to pay attention to it. When she thought about the doctors who knew her congratulating her after work, she felt annoyed.

To her, those words of congratulations sounded more like sarcasm.

When Zhou Yanchen saw that she didn't even look at him, he suddenly felt upset again.

The scene of her leaving with Jiang Yubai reappeared in 놛's mind, and the jealousy and anger became stronger.

Before Shen Qingli could even hold the door handle, Zhou Yanchen suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

His hands were so strong that he seemed to melt her into his body.

"Shen Qingli, I want to tell you something." His voice was low and rapid, with a firmness that brooked no rejection.

As he spoke, 놛늀 pulled her towards the fire escape.

Shen Qingli was startled by this sudden action. She tried hard to pull her hand out, but Zhou Yanchen's hand was like a pair of pliers, holding her tightly.

"Zhou Yanchen, what are you crazy about?" She was angry and anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notes, "Can you please stop being sick?"

There was a gleam of anger in her eyes as she stared at Zhou Yanchen as if she was looking at an unreasonable stranger.

Zhou Yanchen pulled her to the fire escape and pushed her against the wall, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

In the narrow space, the two people's breathing intertwined, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to ignite the air.

"Why, are you in a good mood after seeing Jiang Yubai?"

"You don't even have a good face when you see me?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Zhou Yanchen's voice, an emotion mixed with anger and jealousy.

Shen Qingli glared at him fiercely, the anger in his heart was completely ignited.

"I feel better than when I'm with you." She responded without showing any weakness, and every word was like a sharp knife piercing Zhou Yanchen's heart.

Before she finished her words, Zhou Yanchen's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

놛's eyes were filled with pain and helplessness, "Shen Qingli, what do you want me to do in order for you to forgive me?"

놛's voice was almost a roar, "What do you want me to do to make you feel better? Just tell me."

"Your indifference is driving me crazy."

Shen Qingli sneered, and that laugh was filled with endless ridicule and grievance.

"What's my attitude? My attitude is much worse than what you treated me before."

As soon as she said this, Shen Qingli felt a little regretful. She felt as if she was complaining to him, and this feeling of showing weakness made her very uncomfortable.

"I..." Zhou Yanchen was speechless, looking at Shen Qingli, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.

"I know I was wrong. Didn't I recognize the wrong person just now?"

Shen Qingli chuckled: "Zhou Yanchen, I've said it before, that's not love, it's just guilt."

"And I, Shen Qingli, do not need love without sympathy or guilt."

"In other words, I can't afford your love, Zhou Yanchen, and I don't dare to ask for it."

"Don't say these things in front of me anymore. For the sake of the children, I don't want our relationship to become worse because of these things."

Shen Qingli stretched out his hand to push the door open, opened the door and walked out.

Zhou Yanchen leaned against the wall, his face gloomy and full of fear and regret. Regret is really useless!

How can she warm her heart again?
