On their way out of the event, they walked side by side. The setting sun cast a long shadow over them. "Today's event was very meaningful," Jiang Zhi said softly. "Yes, we can participate more often in the future," Shen Qingchen replied. Their conversation was simple and natural, like that of an ordinary couple. Although there were still wounds between them, in this moment, trust was quietly rebuilt between them, like a new bud in spring, tenaciously growing after a cold winter.
After returning to the hospital, Jiang Zhi prepared to return to her office. Shen Qingchen accompanied her to the elevator. "Thank you for today." Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Qingchen and said. "You're welcome. If you need any help, please let me know." Shen Qingchen said with a smile. The elevator came and Jiang Zhi walked into the elevator. At the moment when the elevator door was about to close, she raised her head and looked at Shen Qingchen. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then the elevator door slowly closed. Shen Qingchen stood at the elevator entrance and did not leave for a long time. He knew that today's relationship was a good start. He had to work harder to truly win back Jiang Zhi's heart.
In the following days, there were many similar activities. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen would participate together every time, and their cooperation in the activities became more and more tacit. In a free medical consultation activity held for the nursing home, Jiang Zhi was responsible for examining the elderly, while Shen Qingchen helped to record. There was an elderly man whose hearing was not very good. Jiang Zhi patiently raised his voice to communicate with the elderly, and Shen Qingchen carefully adjusted the elderly man's sitting position to facilitate Jiang Zhi's examination. After the examination, the elderly held their hands and kept saying words of gratitude. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen smiled at each other, and at that moment, the emotional bond between them became tighter.
Another time, a health lecture was held for community residents. Jiang Zhi was on stage, explaining, while Shen Qingchen helped maintain order below. During the lecture, the projector suddenly malfunctioned, causing some chaos. Shen Qingchen sprang into action, quickly checking the wiring and contacting a technician. Thanks to his efforts, the projector quickly returned to normal, and the lecture could continue. Jiang Zhi watched him busy, feeling filled with gratitude. After the lecture, residents gathered around to ask them health questions, and Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi patiently answered them one by one. Their figures stood out in the crowd, like a warm painting.
During these activities, Shen Qingchen always paid attention to Jiang Zhi's needs. If Jiang Zhi needed a medical tool, Shen Qingchen would always hand it to her first; if Jiang Zhi was thirsty, Shen Qingchen would quietly prepare water for her; if Jiang Zhi encountered a difficult problem, Shen Qingchen would be there to offer advice. Jiang Zhi also felt his intentions, and she began to gradually let down her guard, and communicated more and more with Shen Qingchen. After the activities, they would discuss the problems and interesting things they encountered today, and share each other's thoughts and feelings. This reconstruction of trust made their relationship like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, showing more brilliant colors in the sun.
During an environmental protection charity event, they needed to clean up garbage along the river. Jiang Zhi, wearing light sportswear and a hat, diligently cleaned up the debris along the river. Shen Qingchen joined her, putting the garbage into bags. During the cleaning process, Jiang Zhi accidentally stepped on a slippery stone and almost fell into the river. Shen Qingchen was quick to grab her and hug her tightly. Both of their heartbeats accelerated sharply. They stared into each other's eyes, and time seemed to stop at this moment. The world around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them. In that brief moment, Jiang Zhi felt Shen Qingchen's care for her, and the strong emotion made it impossible for her to ignore. Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi, his eyes full of worry and love. "Are you okay?" he asked softly. Jiang Zhi shook her head, her cheeks slightly flushed. At this moment, the distance between them was closer, and their feelings were deeper.
With each activity, the trust between them has been rebuilt even stronger. No longer the two who once suspected each other, they have rediscovered their soul mates through shared goals and experiences. Their relationship is no longer a simple test, but is developing in a more beautiful direction. They know that there may be difficulties ahead, but they have the courage and trust to face whatever lies ahead.
