"Of course not, thank you sister-in-law. I'll accept the gift and share it with the brothers tonight."
Shu Ying smiled; in fact, a box of handmade shortbreads wasn't worth much money.
She bought this before the Shu family's accident, and it's been kept in her space recently, which has extended its shelf life.
There's still so much of this stuff; she and her children can't possibly eat it all. It's better to use it as a gift when it matters most. These are local specialties of Shanghai that you can't find anywhere else.
"Okay, go back and get some rest. It is indeed a bit late today. If you have training tomorrow, then go about your business. I will take care of things at the hospital. Thank you for your help."
Shu Ying's few light words almost made Wang Zhande feel like he was floating on air.
An embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly with one hand, a blush appearing on his dark skin.
My sister-in-law's voice is so sweet and gentle.
No wonder the leader treasures the pocket watch with his sister-in-law's photo so much. Why didn't he envy the leader so much before?
Unfortunately, the pocket watch is lost; I can't let my sister-in-law know about this.
When Shu Ying saw Wang Zhande standing there dumbfounded, she thought that her forced smile had scared him, so she immediately stopped smiling.
She doesn't smile much normally, and people who don't know her might think she has a sour expression.
But in reality, she mostly just spaced out or daydreamed.
In addition, Gao Jie had previously spoken ill of Shu Ying, saying that Shu Ying was born with a mean expression. If she hadn't been lucky enough to be born into the Shu family, she would have been beaten countless times for that sour face.
With the mindset of fighting to the end against her cousin's family, Shu Ying was even less likely to force a smile.
She looked at the streetlights outside. The road there had been fairly bright, but she didn't know what time the streetlights inside the compound would be turned off.
She made way for her, saying, "It's getting late, you should go home and get some rest too."
Wang Zhande happily held the pastry: "Then I'll head back first, sister-in-law. If you need anything here, just let me know. My brothers and I will come back tomorrow when we have time. Thank you for your hard work tonight."
When Xie Zhiyan was seriously injured, several of them would take turns looking after him.
This time, it just so happened that Shu Ying came to join the army. Although they could get some rest, Wang Zhande felt a little guilty.
Shu Ying waved at him, her voice much softer: "Let's go."
Wang Zhande nodded and left, looking rather simple-minded.
The ward finally quieted down. Shu Ying closed the window and sat down next to Xie Zhiyan again.
The ward was quiet; Shu Ying could even hear her own heartbeat.
She held a glass of water in her hand, letting go of the day's fatigue.
"Ever since I met you, you've always had this stern face. Why has no one ever said anything about you? Everyone's been talking about me."
Shu Ying tilted her head, looking intently at Xie Zhiyan: "Is it because I lack the uprightness you possess?"
