Shen Qingli followed Director Zhang to another hospital to observe an operation that was of extraordinary significance to her.
The area involved in this operation happened to be the weak spot in her knowledge system. Every step and every operation of the equipment was like a precious knowledge code. She interpreted it with full concentration, not letting go of any details.
After the operation, on the way back, Shen Qingli and Director Zhang enthusiastically discussed the operation.
They analyzed the key decisions during the operation, discussed the pros and cons of different methods, and immersed themselves in the atmosphere of academic exchange.
Returning to the underground parking lot of the First People's Hospital, Shen Qingli got out of the car, his mind still focused on the operation.
She walked lightly but thoughtfully, not realizing that in the distance, a pair of eyes were fixed on her.
Director Zhang locked the car, looked up inadvertently, and saw the man standing there.
He subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingli beside him, and then asked softly: "Doctor Shen, someone seems to be looking for you."
Shen Qingli looked up in the direction Director Zhang was looking. The moment she saw Zhou Yanchen, her brows knitted slightly, "Director, I..."
Before he could even say the word "acquaintance", Zhou Yanchen had already strode two meters away from them and said in an urgent tone: "Shen Qingli, I have something to tell you."
Director Zhang's eyes shuttled back and forth between the two of them. After a moment, he said to Shen Qingli, "Doctor Shen, I'll go up first."
Seeing this, Shen Qingli hurriedly said, "Director, I'll go up with you. Doctor Han just sent me a message saying he needs to see me if he's sick."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Yanchen quickly came to her side, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Qingli's arm, and said with a hint of rejection in his voice: "Give me ten minutes, I have something very important to ask you."
Director Zhang naturally knew Zhou Yanchen, as he was the leader behind the hospital's monitoring level.
He knew in his heart that this was caused by their offense. After thinking for a moment, he had to speak: "Doctor Shen, it's okay. I'll go up to help you with the patient. You two can have a good chat. Don't worry."
Shen Qingli secretly groaned in her heart. The director had already said so. She really had to find an excuse to shirk it.
After Director Zhang walked away, Shen Qingli looked at the man in front of him with a cold expression, and said with a distant tone:
"Zhou Yanchen, do you know what else we have to talk about? I've already told you."
Having said this, she turned and was about to leave.
Zhou Yanchen reached out and grabbed her wrist in panic, then pulled her towards his car.
Shen Qingli saw this and was furious. "Zhou Yanchen, what do you want to do? Let me go!"
Zhou Yanchen didn't say anything, but just pulled her forward stubbornly.
"You hurt me." Shen Qingli's face turned red with anger. He was always so inexplicable every time, intruding into her life without warning and disrupting her rhythm.
Hearing this, Zhou Yanchen suddenly loosened his grip on her hand, then turned around with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry."
Shen Qingli subconsciously rubbed her wrist which was hurt by being grabbed. After hearing 누's apology, she paused and wondered in her heart, what was wrong with him again?
Zhou Yanchen was like this before. When had he ever been so flustered and guilty, that proud and confident man?
Even so, Shen Qingli still had a bad face and said in a cold tone: "Just say what you want to say, I'm listening."
Zhou Yanchen raised his eyes and looked straight at her, with complicated emotions surging in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Shen Qingli, why didn't you tell me?"
"Why do you keep telling me everything after all these years?"
Shen Qingli frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion: "Tell you what? I don't think there is anything else to talk about between us."
Zhou Yanchen's eyes slowly turned red, as if he was filled with sadness. When he spoke again, his voice was choked up:
"It was your mother who saved me back then. Why have you never mentioned a word to me in all these years?"
When Shen Qingli heard this, his expression froze, as if the deepest secret in his heart had been touched, but he quickly recovered and said calmly:
"It's not important. My mother saved you out of her own free will. It's not important to say it or not."
Her voice was soft, but it seemed to carry an unquestionable power.
After hearing this, Zhou Yanchen felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. His hands trembled slightly, as if he wanted to grab something but was powerless.
Shen Qingli looked at his eyes which were getting redder and redder, her heart moved slightly, but she still turned her head slightly to look at him again.
She was afraid that if she looked at him any longer, she would be affected by his emotions.
Zhou Yanchen said with a trembling voice: "But this is very important to me."
"If you said so, we..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Qingli interrupted him with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"You mean, if you had known this earlier, you would have treated me well and loved me better?"
"Would you leave me alone the afternoon we get our marriage certificate?"
"Zhou Yanchen, you are wrong. What I want is pure love, not these things attached to it."
"I don't want sympathy, but I want love out of gratitude."
"Now that you know that Su Xinyao's mother saved you, you should kick her away."
"Zhou Yanchen, you have always been very selfish."
"You don't even know what love is."
Every word Shen Qingli uttered was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into Zhou Yanchen's heart.
When Zhou Yanchen heard this, his body shook violently, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He looked at her with red eyes, his voice full of regret: "Xiao Li, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"I admit that I know what love is, and I am willing to change from now on. I will work hard to learn how to love someone."
Shen Qingli didn't show much emotion when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Yanchen quietly, as if she was examining his determination. After a moment, she slowly spoke:
"Zhou Yanchen, everything is under your control. You can take whatever you want and throw away whatever you want."
“Some things, once lost, come back.”
"Love is more of a game that can be manipulated at will. If you miss that opportunity, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to get back the original feeling."
"Similarly, some harm can't be healed by an apology."
Her voice was very quiet, yet it carried an irresistible power, and every word seemed to be telling of the disappointment of these years.
Zhou Yanchen was about to say something when a male voice suddenly interrupted what he was about to say.
"Mr. Zhou, Dr. Shen, what are you doing?"
