By the time everything was packed up and the sun was setting, the volunteers and medical staff had left one after another, but Shen Qingchen remained. He watched Jiang Zhi say goodbye to her colleagues and then walk alone to the hospital parking lot. He followed silently behind, keeping a distance. He didn't want to disturb Jiang Zhi, but he couldn't bear to leave like this.
In the parking lot, when Jiang Zhi opened the car door and was about to get in, Shen Qingchen finally couldn't help but walked over. "Jiang Zhi." He shouted. Jiang Zhi turned around and saw that it was Shen Qingchen, and frowned slightly. "Why are you following me?" She asked somewhat coldly. Shen Qingchen took out the hairpin, handed it to Jiang Zhi, and said, "You dropped this." When Jiang Zhi saw the hairpin, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She took the hairpin and whispered "thank you". Shen Qingchen looked at her, plucked up the courage to say: "Today's activities are very meaningful. I am very happy to see you. I am also very happy. I know I hurt you before, but I really hope you can give me a chance to let me enter your life again." Jiang Zhi looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said: "You did a good job today, but that doesn't mean I can forget the past. I need time." After that, she got in the car and left.
Shen Qingchen stood in the parking lot, watching Jiang Zhi's car drive away, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but he would not give up. He believed that as long as he persevered, one day, Jiang Zhi would accept him again. He turned around, looked at the hospital under the setting sun, and silently vowed in his heart that he would always protect Jiang Zhi by his side, whether in such charity activities or in her future life, he would not be absent.
In the days that followed, Shen Qingchen continued to look for opportunities to get closer to Jiang Zhi. He participated in every charity event organized by the hospital, whether it was delivering medical care and medicine to the elderly or providing free medical services to community residents, he never missed it. In every event, he was like before, silently contributing, using his actions to show Jiang Zhi how he had changed.
During an activity to provide medical care and medicine to lonely elderly people, Shen Qingchen followed the medical staff to an old residential complex. The houses here were a bit shabby and the roads were not easy to walk on, but Shen Qingchen did not complain at all. Together with other volunteers, he carried medicine boxes and went door to door to check the health of the elderly and deliver medicine.
When they arrived at an old lady's house, the old lady was lying on the bed, looking a little weak. Jiang Zhi walked over, sat beside the bed, and talked softly to the old lady, asking about her physical condition. Shen Qingchen watched from the side. He saw the tenderness and concern in Jiang Zhi's eyes, and his love for her increased a little bit. While Jiang Zhi was checking the old lady's body, Shen Qingchen helped to tidy up the old lady's room. He swept the floor, wiped the table, and tidied the room. The old lady looked at him and said with a smile: "Young man, you are such a good person." Shen Qingchen smiled and replied: "Grandma, this is what I should do."
After checking her body, Jiang Zhi prescribed medicine for the old lady and told her in detail how to take the medicine and what to pay attention to. The old lady took Jiang Zhi's hand and kept saying thank you. Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Grandma, you don't have to thank us, you have to take good care of yourself." When leaving the old lady's house, the old lady said to Shen Qingchen, "Young man, you have to treat this girl well, she is an angel." Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi, nodded seriously, and said, "Grandma, I will."
During these charity events, the relationship between Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi was quietly changing. Although Jiang Zhi still kept her distance from Shen Qingchen, her attitude towards him was no longer so cold. Sometimes, they would simply exchange a few words during the event, sharing their views on a patient or suggestions for the event. These small exchanges were invaluable to Shen Qingchen.
He knew that Jiang Zhi's kindness was one of the many reasons why he loved her. She treated everyone in need with unconditional love, and this pure kindness was like a ray of light that shone into Shen Qingchen's heart. He hoped that he could always protect this kindness and, together with Jiang Zhi, bring warmth and hope to more people.
During a community free clinic, the weather was extremely hot. Volunteers and medical staff examined and treated residents in an open-air square. The sun blazed down fiercely, and everyone was sweating profusely. Shen Qingchen noticed Jiang Zhi's forehead was covered with sweat. He walked over with concern and handed her a bottle of water, saying, "Rest a while. Don't overwork yourself." Jiang Zhi looked at him with some surprise, but still took the water and said, "Thank you." Shen Qingchen watched her drink the water and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
During the event, a resident suddenly fainted. The scene was in a state of panic. Jiang Zhi immediately rushed over and began to give first aid to the patient. Shen Qingchen also ran over to help. He followed Jiang Zhi's instructions and assisted her in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. With their joint efforts, the patient finally woke up. Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Qingchen looked at her with admiration in his eyes. He knew how valuable Jiang Zhi's professionalism and calmness were in such an emergency.
After this incident, Jiang Zhi's attitude towards Shen Qingchen changed subtly. She began to talk to Shen Qingchen and asked him some questions about the organization of activities. Shen Qingchen answered her seriously, and he felt that the distance between him and Jiang Zhi was shortened.
As time went on, Shen Qingchen participated in more and more charity events, and his reputation within the hospital and volunteer community grew. Everyone knew there was a man named Shen Qingchen, not only compassionate but also deeply committed to public welfare. And Shen Qingchen knew that all this was because of Jiang Zhi. It was Jiang Zhi who showed him the more meaningful side of life and taught him the joy of giving and contributing.
After each charity event, Shen Qingchen would reminisce about every moment he had spent with Jiang Zhi. He would recall her smile, her eyes, her every move. These memories, like stars, dotted his mind and became the driving force for him to persevere. He knew that his persistence would one day impress Jiang Zhi, and he would win her heart back and walk through every day of the future with her.
