It's late at night.
Su Niannian finished reading the latest chapter of "The Starlight Never Leaves" and was about to turn off the lights and go to bed.
The phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Li Xiuyuan:
[Niannian, the hospital has arranged for me to go to Shanghai to attend an orthopedics seminar. I won't be back for two weeks.]
Su Niannian stared at the phone screen for a while and replied:
[Okay, be careful on the road.]
After sending the message, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then she felt a little guilty about her reaction.
His parents were very satisfied with Li Xiuyuan, and everyone said they were a good match.
However, every time I think about spending the rest of my life with him, I feel inexplicably hesitant.
Lying on the bed, she stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Why did I never have the same fluttering feeling when I was with Shi Heng when I was with Li Xiuyuan?
Turning over, she buried her face in the pillow.
Maybe it's time to think carefully about this relationship.
…
The next day at ten o'clock in the morning, at Jishengtang Medical Clinic.
Su Niannian couldn't help but glance at the door.
Today is the day she gives Shi Heng acupuncture.
"Doctor Su, you've been to the door more than a dozen times this morning." Yang Xue joked with a smile, "Are you waiting for Mr. Shi?"
Su Niannian's ears felt hot, and she lowered her head and pretended to organize the needle bag. "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just checking how many patients there are."
By the afternoon, the last patient passed away.
Su Niannian looked at her phone and it was already five o'clock.
Shi Heng won’t come today, right?
Could it be that the hug yesterday made him feel embarrassed?
I feel a little lost.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Sorry, something happened to delay me."
Shi Heng stood at the door, his suit jacket draped over his arm, looking like he had come in a hurry.
Su Niannian's heart suddenly felt like it was soaked in warm water, warm and swollen. "Lie down. I'll still treat your insomnia with acupuncture points today."
Shi Heng lay down.
"Did you sleep well last night?" she asked while giving me the injection.
Shi Heng looked at her focused profile and said, "It's much better than before. Thanks to your acupuncture, I slept soundly last night."
You have to wait twenty minutes after the injection before the needle can be removed.
Shi Heng lay with his head to the side, eyes closed as if he was asleep.
Su Niannian couldn't help but keep stealing glances at his face.
The high nose bridge and well-defined chin are perfectly suited to her aesthetic taste.
Shi Heng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he could clearly feel her burning gaze.
That look seemed to carry warmth, causing his heart to beat faster unconsciously.
For the first time in so many years, he was glad that he was born with a good appearance.
At least she could look at it a few more times.
Su Niannian removed the last silver needle and exhaled softly, "Today's treatment is over."
Shi Heng slowly sat up, buttoning his shirt as he asked, "There's a new music restaurant behind the old street. Do you want to go try it together?"
"OK."
Su Niannian blurted out, then realized she agreed too quickly and quickly added, "I'm hungry too."
Ten minutes later, Su Niannian came out after changing her clothes.
I saw Shi Heng standing at the door pushing a 28-inch bicycle.
The dark blue frame was emblazoned with the faded word "PERMANENT."
"What is this?" She touched the handlebars curiously.
"My collection."
He slid onto the seat with his long legs and looked back at her. "The road is a bit steep. Do you want to sit in the back?"
As Su Niannian hesitated, tugging at the hem of her skirt, Aunt Zhang from the fruit shop next door suddenly laughed out loud: "Little Doctor Su, it's rare to find a man willing to take a girl on a bicycle these days!"
With a blushing face, she sat sideways, her hands neatly pressing on the edge of the seat.
As the wheel turned, she screamed and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Shi Heng's clothes.
"Hold on tight." Shi Heng's voice came mixed with the sound of the wind.
The bicycle suddenly accelerated while going downhill, and Su Niannian leaned forward, her forehead lightly hitting his back.
"ah!"
She cried out softly and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Shi Heng's waist.
Through the fabric, she could clearly feel the muscular lines of his waist and abdomen.
"That's right."
Shi Heng's voice came with a smile, but he deliberately quickened his pace.
The wind blows past my ears.
Su Niannian hid her burning cheeks behind his back, but honestly tightened her arms around him.
Finally, the bicycle stopped in front of an old house covered with ivy.
There were not many customers in the restaurant, so Shi Heng chose a seat by the window.
As soon as he sat down, he took out a small wooden box from his pocket and pushed it in front of Su Niannian, "Here's a small gift for you."
Su Niannian opened the box and her eyes lit up. "What an exquisite silver bookmark! The pendant is in the shape of angelica and platycodon!"
Shi Heng smiled and said, "I know you love reading, so I asked a master to make it for you. Angelica and Platycodon grandiflorum are both good herbs, just right for you."
Su Niannian gently stroked the pendant on the bookmark with her fingers, cherishing it very much.
Shi Heng felt warm in his heart when he saw her happy expression.
Angelica is looking forward to her coming back.
Platycodon grandiflorum represents unchanging love.
However, he kept these words in his heart for the time being and did not say them out loud.
After dinner, Shi Heng rode a bicycle and took Su Niannian to the observation deck of the old street.
The city lights at night are bright, like stars scattered all over the ground.
A cool breeze blew, and Su Niannian unconsciously pulled her collar closer.
"Are you cold?" Shi Heng said, having already taken off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
Su Niannian stood by the railing, looking at the twinkling lights of thousands of homes below her feet, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
"It's been five years, and this is the first time I've really seen the night view here. Every day I'm either busy seeing patients, taking care of my two children, and staying up late to study medical records. I don't even have time to look up at the moon."
