Shen Xingzhi closed her eyes; "Yu Wenhao, stop talking. Thinking about it is useless, you can't do it, it will only make you feel bad."
Her legs haven't recovered yet, she can't do it at all, why would she want to torture herself by talking about this?
Yu Wenhao took a step back: "Okay, I won't say anymore. I can't exercise during the recovery period. I'll make up for it when I'm better."
Songshan Clinic.
When everyone learned that Rong Yan was coming over at noon, they all wanted to ask her about Shen Xingzhi's situation.
Rong Yan was surrounded as soon as she entered the door.
[Dr. Song, how is Dr. Shen?]
When will Dr. Song and Dr. Shen come back to work? We miss them.
【Dr. Song, we messaged Dr. Chen, but she hasn't replied. Is it because she still can't move her hand...?
...
"Everyone's asking at the same time, I don't know who to answer first." Rong Yan was overwhelmed by the barrage of questions.
"Dr. Shen will be able to come to the company for a while. She is currently in the recovery phase and is fine. She wanted to reply to everyone's messages, but there were too many. As you all know, she also injured her hand and definitely cannot move around much. Dr. Shen has received everyone's concern. She will take everyone to see her another day."
Rong Yan finally answered everyone's questions.
“But we can’t all go at once. We can take turns going by department,” Rong Yan reminded.
Okay, shall we start from downstairs?
Let's go upstairs.
“Let’s do it alphabetically by surname,” Rong Yan said.
Everyone agreed.
After the lunch break, everyone consciously returned to their work stations.
During Shen Xingzhi's absence, Rong Yan found that even without her and Shen Xingzhi, everything at the clinic was running smoothly.
She suddenly felt very grateful to everyone.
Rong Yan called a meeting in the afternoon and gave everyone a raise.
——
Lanshan Garden.
Han Yue had some free time in the afternoon, and she thought Lao Deng would call her, but she didn't receive a call from him until evening.
She was a little puzzled. Usually, even if Lao Deng didn't call, he would at least send two messages. What was wrong with him today?
She opened WeChat: "Old Deng, are you busy today?"
Old Deng was taking a walk in the park. Ever since he met Han Yue, he was the one who usually initiated the messages, while Han Yue almost never contacted him first.
"In the park." Old Deng replied almost instantly.
Oh, what happened? I haven't heard from you all day.
Old Deng looked at a line of text in the chat box; it turned out that Han Yue knew he would contact her every day.
"Why didn't you send it to me?" Old Deng replied.
Han Yue was speechless for a moment. Was Lao Deng angry because she didn't contact him first?
【I'm waiting for your news】Han Yue thought for a moment and replied.
"I'm afraid you're busy, and contacting you too often will bother you." Old Deng's words sounded very distant, and Han Yue immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Old Deng, is something wrong?" Han Yue asked. "Xiao Lei and Rong Yan picked me up today, so I don't need to go to the hospital to deliver food tonight. Should I come see you?"
Old Deng actually refused, saying, "No need, I'm going home soon. I have a chess game planned with my old neighbor tonight."
Han Yue: ……
Old Deng thought about it for a long time yesterday. The gap between him and Han Yue was getting bigger and bigger. He was a little hesitant. At his age, it's not easy to meet someone who understands you. Should he care about these objective conditions?
As a result, he didn't contact Han Yue today, and Han Yue didn't contact him all day either. He felt that he wasn't important to Han Yue.
Therefore, he became determined to sever ties with Han Yue.
Han Yue sensed Old Deng's cold attitude. She didn't know what had happened. She remembered that Old Deng's children were all abroad, and Old Deng was the only one in Tiancheng.
His children were very supportive of their father finding a partner; could they have changed their minds now?
Han Yue is someone who can't keep things to herself.
She made a phone call directly.
"Old Deng, something's not right with you. You seem to be avoiding me," Han Yue said bluntly.
Old Deng didn't expect Han Yue to be so straightforward, and he was not good at lying. He had indeed been avoiding Han Yue and deliberately distancing himself from her.
"Xiao Han." Old Deng called out Han Yue's name and then fell silent.
"Is it because the child doesn't approve of our relationship?" Old Deng's hesitant words confirmed Han Yue's suspicions.
"No," Old Deng denied.
"That's your fault. You don't want to develop a relationship with me anymore?" Han Yue asked.
"Do you think I'm troublesome and a burden to you?" Han Yue thought Lao Deng was disgusted by her.
Old Deng shook his head, raising his voice in denial: "How could I look down on you? Every family has its share of problems, I..."
"What?" Han Yue asked, puzzled.
"Since you're being so direct about this, I won't hide it from you either. The gap between us is too big." Old Deng's voice trailed off.
"That's it?" Han Yue thought it was something serious. She smiled and said, "I felt something was off when we ate together yesterday. I don't always go to those kinds of places. Lao Deng, we still have things in common, right? What gap? Economic gap? I haven't created much wealth myself. At most, I can say my son is useful. But you raised two top students, didn't you?"
Han Yue's words make a lot of sense.
"So should I also say that you've studied abroad and are a returnee, and that I'm not good enough for you?"
"No, no," Old Deng said modestly. "What kind of returnee am I? I just traveled abroad for fun."
"Old Deng, what I mean is that these are not problems, as long as we can get along well."
"How about we meet up?" Han Yue suggested to Lao Deng, "At that noodle shop we always go to? I'm really craving eel noodles today."
Hearing Han Yue's words, Old Deng's concerns lessened somewhat: "Okay."
When Han Yue saw Lao Deng, she acted as if nothing had happened.
Instead of mentioning the topic we had just discussed, she told him about the interesting things that had happened to her.
Old Deng seemed a little distracted.
After listening to Han Yue finish speaking, he said, "Little Han, I really like your personality. It's very easy to be around you. Shall we talk about our relationship?"
“Okay, go ahead and tell me, I’ll answer your questions.” Han Yue smiled throughout.
"Xiao Han, I've never met a lady as optimistic, fun-loving, and with such a good attitude as you. To be honest, I was attracted to you from the start." Old Deng said this while keeping his head down shyly.
"I also think I'm very interesting," Han Yue said without any modesty.
"Yes, you have a great personality, you're confident and cheerful, you're even more energetic than young people, while I'm only a little older than you, it feels like we're from different generations. But I can't deny that, under your influence, I feel younger too." Old Deng kept praising Han Yue.
"Stop praising me. You're just like a young person saying, 'You're great, but I don't like you.'"
"No, it's a bit hard to say I like you at my age, but we get along very well," Old Deng said, changing his approach.
"That's good, that's good. Don't say anything else, don't listen to anything else. Old Deng, at this age, just do what you like and don't think about anything else." Han Yue interrupted Old Deng.
