Lin Shu frowned slightly. She understood that getting married without having children was considered an unforgivable sin in the eyes of most people.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaoli seemed frightened by her expression. "Is something really wrong?"
Lin Shu immediately shook her head: "It's okay." Then, with a slightly curved eye, she said meaningfully, "You don't have to worry anymore."
"You mean..." Xu Xiaoli's face was full of surprise, "I, I, am pregnant?"
Lin Shu nodded: "The date is still uncertain. We'll be able to confirm it completely in ten days or half a month."
Xu Xiaoli put her hand on her belly in disbelief, looked at her belly, then looked at Lin Shu, and spoke incoherently: "I, you, I'm going to be a mother."
Lin Shu was also happy for her and said with a smile, "Congratulations."
After a while, Xu Xiaoli calmed down and gave her an ambiguous look: "Maybe you will get pregnant this year too."
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red. Han Yan, he would be back soon. Which meant that they were going to...
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Lin Shu was absent-minded from the moment he woke up.
"Xiao Lin."
"Xiao Lin?"
"Ah?" Lin Shu subconsciously drew a line across the notebook with his pen in his hand, and a line appeared on the blank paper.
"What are you thinking about so seriously?" asked Doctor Zhang, holding a basket of medicinal herbs.
"No, nothing?" Lin Shu smiled awkwardly.
Doctor Zhang shook his head without asking any more questions and placed the basket on the table: "These are the dried herbs."
"Okay, I'll sort it out later." Lin Shu stood up and pulled the basket in front of him.
"No rush."
"Um."
After seeing Dr. Zhang leave, Lin Shu sat back on the stool and patted his face lightly with both hands.
She pulled herself together and started to tidy up.
After an unknown amount of time, she picked up the last herb in the basket and stared at it in a daze.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into her ears.
"Shu'er."
She thought it was an illusion and did not react.
"Shu'er."
The familiar voice sounded again.
Lin Shu looked blankly toward the sound. Her fingers, gripping the herbs, loosened and, with a thud, they fell onto the table. She stood up suddenly.
It was Han Yan. He stood at the door, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"You, you're back?" she said dryly.
Han Yan came over and rubbed her head with his hand: "What are you daydreaming about?"
"Your hair is getting messy." Lin Shu clapped his hands and complained.
Han Yan chuckled: "That's right."
When Lin Shu heard his laughter, his face turned red and his heart relaxed. The distance between them due to not seeing each other for a long time suddenly disappeared.
"Let's go back together." Han Yan said.
Lin Shu looked at the time and it was indeed time to get off work.
"Okay." She placed the last herb into the corresponding drawer and tidied the table.
Lin Shu walked out of the clinic door and looked around the room, feeling a little reluctant. She wouldn't have to come to work anymore.
She had already handed over the current matters to Dr. Zhang and explained her situation of accompanying the army to the captain.
Lin Shu and Han Yan went to say goodbye to Dr. Zhang.
"Grandpa Zhang." Lin Shu walked into his consulting room.
Doctor Zhang was sorting the herbs. He looked up at Lin Shu, smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Han Yan: "Xiao Han, you're back."
"Grandpa Zhang." Han Yan shouted.
Doctor Zhang responded and turned to look at Lin Shu: "Did Xiao Han bully you? Why do you look so sad?"
"I..." Lin Shu's nose was sour, and his tone was full of reluctance, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm leaving."
She opened her mouth and said, "Take in another apprentice and let him help you organize the herbs."
"I'm not so old that I can't move my legs." Doctor Zhang said with a glare, waving his hands, his face full of disgust, "Go away, go away! Are you never going to come back to see an old man like me?"
"Come back, come back, of course I'll come back." Lin Shu said quickly.
"That's it." Doctor Zhang looked indifferent and lowered his head to sort the herbs.
"Then let's go, Grandpa Zhang."
Doctor Zhang hummed without looking up.
After walking out the door, Lin Shu turned around and glanced at Doctor Zhang, who was still sorting the herbs with his head down.
Lin Shu stood for a while and then left with Han Yan.
After a while, Doctor Zhang looked up at the empty door, a trace of despair flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and lowered his head to continue sorting the herbs.
After they walked out the door, Han Yan took Lin Shu's hand and said softly, "When we have time later, let's come back to see Grandpa Zhang."
Lin Shu looked up at him and hummed.
On the way, they met large groups of people from time to time who congratulated them.
"Han Yan, Dr. Xiaolin, congratulations, congratulations."
Everyone in the team knew that they were going to have their wedding in two days.
Lin Shu still felt embarrassed and his face was hot all the way.
Han Yan looked happy and responded politely.
"How is Uncle Zhou doing?" Han Yan spoke first when no one was around.
Speaking of this, Lin Shu's face was full of joy: "I am fine now."
"Well, then his memory..."
"I haven't recovered yet." Lin Shu said calmly, "It doesn't matter if my memory doesn't recover." Anyway, she has already accepted him in her heart.
Han Yan hummed softly: "Have you told Uncle Lin and the others?"
Lin Shu paused and said, "I want to talk to them face to face." This is not something that can be explained in a few words.
"They will understand." Han Yan comforted.
