Lin Zhixing's eyes were caught off guard by the scene in front of him. He was stunned for a second before looking away.
He Yanchen didn't seem to notice anything. He put down the teacup and sat down. "I looked around before I found you."
Lin Zhixing glanced out the window awkwardly, tucked her hair back in place, and then turned back to ask him, "Is An An asleep?"
"Well, the travel was tiring during this time, so I fell asleep quickly."
The man's voice was gentle.
As he spoke, his dark eyes naturally met hers.
I don’t know if it’s because the night is too peaceful and quiet, but the conversation between the two people also seemed very calm.
However, the nightgown He Yanchen wore had no buttons, only a belt tied in the middle.
As the man sat down, his collar became more open.
Lin Zhixing didn't know where to look.
I don’t know what to say in this atmosphere.
"An An is very happy living here, how about you?" He Yanchen asked, "Are you used to living here? If there's anything you don't like, tell me and I'll help you rearrange it."
"No, it's fine."
Lin Zhixing looked out the window.
Outside is the back garden of the villa. From this angle, you can just see the flower wall in the backyard.
The atmosphere became quiet again.
He Yanchen could only find a topic on his own, "Are you going to work tomorrow?"
Lin Zhixing nodded and said, "I've been resting for too long. If I don't go back to work, the dean will fire me."
He Yanchen followed up and said, "I'll send you and An An off tomorrow morning, and then pick you up in the evening."
"No need to go to so much trouble. How about I ask, and if it's possible, let Aunt Wang come here and also be responsible for picking up An An."
Lin Zhixing knew that He Yanchen couldn't be busy.
Men have always been like this. They will try to compress and adjust their working hours as much as possible, and they will make time for the two of them to spend time together.
"Who are you asking?" He Yanchen stared at Lin Zhixing. "Shi Yang?"
When the man mentioned Shi Yang, his expression and tone were clearly displeased.
"Well, I had just returned and couldn't find a suitable nanny, so Shi Yang introduced Aunt Wang to me. Of course I had to ask him." Lin Zhixing added, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
The woman's words seemed to comfort him.
He Yanchen leaned forward and put his arm on the back of the sofa behind the woman.
He didn't make any contact with her, but his actions clearly included the woman in his range.
"I asked Shi Nanzhou to ask his mother directly."
He Yanchen looked at her with his dark eyes, and after a moment he spoke again, "I know our current relationship. I have no right to interfere in this matter, but you two don't have to have contact with each other."
“…”
Lin Zhixing never expected He Yanchen to say that.
"Didn't you say that it's tiring to pretend all your life?" The man's fingers played with her drooping hair, intentionally or unintentionally. "I don't like you to have too much contact with him. It makes me uneasy."
Will be jealous.
The man spoke slower and slower, his voice gradually becoming quieter.
Finally, even his eyes turned away.
There was a hush in the air.
The man didn't look at her, but opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he didn't act.
Lin Zhixing smiled and said, "I see. Then go ask."
He Yanchen looked over.
"I'll leave this matter to you." Lin Zhixing took a sip of the tea in front of him, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
-
For the next two days, Lin Zhixing went to the outpatient clinic for two consecutive days because he had just returned.
She had just sat down in the afternoon when the first patient knocked on the door and came in.
"Zheng Ke."
Lin Zhixing saw the name on the computer and felt it looked familiar. He looked up and realized it was Shi Yang's friend.
"Hello, Doctor Lin." Zheng Ke sat down and said politely, "I'm here to see you for another checkup."
Lin Zhixing thought that there was no need to be so diligent.
But she still gave Zheng Ke a checkup list.
Zheng Ke came back from the examination. After a careful examination, she said, "Given your current condition, there is a surgical option that is less risky than other surgeries."
"Can you tell me about it?"
Zheng Ke asked.
Lin Zhixing was talking about the PEARS surgery.
It is a customized aortic stent using 3D printing technology.
She explained the operation in a way that Zheng Ke could understand and asked, "Are your parents in Beicheng?"
"I'm studying in the north city. My parents are in my hometown, and it takes about an hour to drive here." Zheng Ke explained and then asked, "Can I check in by myself?"
"Of course you can, but the surgery requires family signatures, and at least one of your parents needs to be present."
Lin Zhixing replied.
On the same day, Zheng Ke was admitted to the hospital.
When Lin Zhixing returned to the inpatient department, he learned from the nurse that Zheng Ke had completed the admission procedures.
When she went to the ward to see Zheng Ke, Shi Yang was sitting next to her.
"Sister Zhixing."
Shi Yang stood up, obviously at a loss.
He wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and then stopped.
Lin Zhixing just glanced at him and asked about Zheng Ke's situation, mainly asking when her parents could come over.
Although Zheng Ke is an adult, any surgery involves risks, and his family should be informed to avoid disputes.
After the normal examination and questioning, Lin Zhixing left the ward.
It was almost time to get off work. She didn't have many patients recently, so she could leave on time.
Lin Zhixing changed his clothes and came out of the office. Just as he reached the elevator...
"Sister Zhixing!"
Shi Yang had been waiting outside for a long time.
Lin Zhixing tilted his head to look at him.
Shi Yang explained nervously, "This time she came to see you on her own and decided to be hospitalized. It has nothing to do with me. I just found out about it."
"I know." Lin Zhixing nodded. "Anyone would be afraid of surgery. It's a good opportunity for you to stay here with her for a while."
The elevator door in front of me opened.
Lin Zhixing stepped inside.
Shi Yang stood outside, hesitated for a moment, and then followed.
"She and I are just ordinary friends. Her parents are coming over tomorrow, and it's not appropriate for me to be here."
Shi Yang tried hard to emphasize his relationship with Zheng Ke.
Lin Zhixing said "hmm".
Soon other people came into the elevator, and Lin Zhixing deliberately separated himself from Shi Yang.
After getting out of the elevator, Shi Yang immediately followed and asked, "Sister Zhixing, I heard from my uncle that you had something happen a while ago, so you took a long leave. What happened to you? Can you tell me?"
Lin Zhixing was a little annoyed by his questions and finally stopped.
She was about to say something when a bouquet of flowers appeared in her sight.
Lin Zhixing was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction where the bouquet was handed.
He Yanchen was wearing a sapphire blue suit with dark patterns. He looked at her with his dark eyes and said naturally, "I'll take you home."
