Chapter 74: Never Forget
Yan Yi applied medicine to her and told her not to wear the lace neckband for the time being and to keep her body breathable.
Bai He felt dizzy and nodded blankly. In fact, he didn't hear anything that was said.
Until the man suddenly turned around, his dark and deep eyes fixed on her: "Bai He."
"ah?"
Suddenly, he stretched out his slender and beautiful fingertips and touched her brow.
Her pupils moved upwards.
Suddenly, the man playfully flicked her forehead, causing her to step back two steps in pain, clutching her head.
"Yanyi! It hurts!"
"elder sister."
The word "sister" instantly brought her back to her youth.
"From just now until now, you've looked so distraught, like... you've met up with an ex-boyfriend you can't get over."
Yan Yi looked at her, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "I have let go of the past. Please let it go too, sister. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for us to continue to be relatives."
“…”
Bai He was speechless. She rubbed her forehead and frowned at him, "No, no! I'm definitely not obsessed with it."
"That's good."
He turned around and took out a file box from the medical cabinet, flipped out a few pages of paper, and lowered his head to fill them out.
Bai He looked at him. There was actually an earring on his right earlobe, like a black mole, which gave him a bit of rebelliousness.
She had changed so much that I could hardly recognize her.
"Yanyi, you're back. Do your parents know?"
"I've booked tickets for them." Yan Yi looked at the watch on his wrist. "They should have boarded the plane and will land at Beili Airport at 8 o'clock. Sister, will you come with me to pick them up?"
"ah?"
Bai He was stunned. "You brought them here? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't they say anything? They weren't prepared at all!"
"What preparations do I need to meet my parents?" Yan Yi tilted his head, raising the corner of his eye. "Could it be that my sister has a secret boyfriend?"
"No." Bai He curled her lips and looked at his relaxed state. He could even make a joke with her. It seemed that... he had really let it go.
"You've already contacted my parents, making it seem like I'm an outsider," she said sullenly.
"What do you mean by your parents? Aren't they my parents?"
"You yourself don't want to call mom and dad."
"Whether I call them or not, they are."
"Okay, okay."
Bai He felt quite relieved when Yan Yi came back. The loneliness she had felt while living and working alone in Beili City in the past few years was also dispelled a lot, especially since he also brought his parents over. They could be reunited in the evening. Bai He was so happy.
"Bai He, do you have your ID card with you?"
"Yes, I have it." Bai He quickly took out his ID card and handed it to him.
He printed out a copy of her ID card and put it in the file box, then handed her a health card to fill out.
"What is this...for?"
"I'll set up a medical record," Yan Yi said casually. "You'll be my first patient after I return home."
"Ah? You want to perform surgery on me?"
"Are you surprised?" Yan Yi glanced at her, his dark pupils devoid of emotion. "Don't forget our agreement."
She had not forgotten that Yan Yi had promised her that after he returned from his studies, he would perform reconstructive surgery on her so that she could get rid of the ugly scar on her neck forever.
It's like... a dream, so unreal.
After all, when they made the pinky promise, they were only in their teens.
In the blink of an eye, I have really grown up.
Dr. Yan, he really became Dr. Yan!
There are so many famous and authoritative plastic surgery experts, and the cost of performing an operation is several million.
Thinking of this, Bai He hesitated again and asked him, "Yan Yi, how much is the fee?"
"Hmm~~~That's a problem." Yan Yi thought about it seriously, "If I don't charge, my sister will definitely feel bad."
“…”
Not at all!
"Ayi, let me make it clear in advance that I don't have much savings," she reminded.
Yan Yi certainly knew that this gaming girl couldn't save much money and must be living paycheck to paycheck every month.
"How about this, sister, write me an IOU. It's better to owe it to relatives than to owe it to friends outside."
"A million-dollar IOU? I can't afford it."
"I'll give you a discount, sister?" Yan Yi thought thoughtfully. "Given our friendship, how much discount would you give me?"
Bai He walked over, pulled the sleeve of his white coat, blinked her eyes, and looked at him expectantly.
"Why don't you tell me your expected price range?"
Bai He: "Don't exceed five thousand."
"It cost me more than five thousand to tattoo my sister's eyebrows." He pinched her cheek.
"Ten thousand is the most!" the little girl struggled. "Pay it off over ten years, 83.3 per month. This is the limit I can afford!"
Yan Yi lowered his eyes and looked at her: "How dare you say that."
"You asked me to bring it up."
"Let's not talk about the cost for now. Pay attention to your diet these days. Avoid spicy food, alcohol, and overtime... Get enough sleep. Don't let my first surgery after returning to China fail."
"Is it a deal then? Ten thousand dollars is a deal, no regrets allowed."
He still poked her brow with his fingertips and smiled faintly.
…
Walking out of the clinic, Yan Yi, wearing a white coat and a mask, followed Bai He. Fu Siwei didn't recognize him and immediately went up to Bai He and asked, "How are you, Xiaobai? What did the doctor say?"
"I decided to have surgery. Doctor Yan said it can restore my skin to its original appearance."
"Okay then," Fu Siwei said decisively, "Since you're here, and the doctor is here today, you can pay the fee first and arrange the surgery as soon as possible."
After saying that, he took out his bank card from his wallet and asked Zhou Yueran beside him, "Where do I pay the bill?"
"No need, Fu Siwei." Bai He stopped him, "I won't borrow money from you anymore."
"Um?"
Yan Yi took off his mask and smiled at him calmly: "Long time no see, Instructor Fu."
Fu Siwei looked at the man in the white coat in front of him. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body. His skin was as white as ever, but his eyes were dark, which made his facial features particularly clear. He also had the same cold and aloof temperament as always.
"Yan Yi." Fu Siwei recognized him, and the eagerness in his eyes faded a little. "You're back."
Yan Yi walked over and stood between him and Bai He.
"Hey, Dr. Yan, do you know my friend?" Zhou Yueran asked curiously.
"We are old acquaintances." Yan Yi said.
"Ah, that's great." Zhou Yueran was very happy. "Xiao Wei's girlfriend wants to have this surgery, so can't Dr. Yan do it himself?"
"Girlfriend?" Yan Yi's eyes were oppressive as he looked meaningfully at the girl beside him. "How come I didn't know that my sister had a new boyfriend?"
Before Bai He could explain, Zhou Yueran asked in surprise, "Ah, she's your sister...?"
Fu Siwei said to Zhou Yueran, "Stop talking nonsense. Xiaobai and I are just ordinary friends. Doctor Yan is Xiaobai's...ex-...brother."
Zhou Yueran scratched his head, a little confused by their relationship.
"Doctor Zhou, please make some arrangements." Yan Yi flipped through his work schedule. "I need to perform surgery on Bai He next month at the latest. For the three days before the surgery, I won't do any other work except seeing patients, and I won't work the night shift."
Zhou Yueran's eyes widened.
Are you so cautious?
This must be my biological sister!!!
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Bai He said to Si Wei with a hint of guilt, "Senior, my parents are coming over tonight, so I won't go to the movies with you. Let's make an appointment next time when we have time."
When he heard the words "watch a movie", the worksheet in Yan Yi's hand was pinched by his fingertips and wrinkles appeared.
But his face remained expressionless.
Fu Siwei nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back first, and we'll meet next time."
"Yeah, bye."
When leaving, Fu Siwei looked at Yan Yi deeply. Yan Yi raised his eyes and met his gaze in a flash.
His eyes were like a cold and sharp scalpel, carrying an undisguised threat. Even though Fu Siwei was not afraid of him, he could still feel the chill.
From this moment on, he knew that Yan Yi was still the same Yan Yi as before.
Any intruder will be torn into pieces by his sharp claws.
However, when he turned to Bai He, the coldness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only tenderness——
"Wait for me in the office and change your clothes. Then we'll go pick up Mom and Dad."
"Oh, okay."
The next second after Bai He nodded, Yan Yi grabbed her wrist, his palm warm and strong, and pulled her towards the office.
The moment they touched, a shiver ran through her body like an electric current. She could hear her own heartbeat, rumbling against her eardrums.
Dr. Zhou Yueran looked at the two people's backs as they entered the office and thought to himself that this brother and sister had a really good relationship.
We have to hold hands for these few steps.
…
Yan Yi's desk was not as messy as other doctors' desks. It only had a computer and an elegant ice-crack-glazed porcelain bottle with a narrow mouth, in which was an origami lily.
He still likes collecting porcelain as always. Bai He reached out and touched the ice cracks on the vase.
Yan Yi took off his white coat and turned around to see her playing with the narrow-necked bottle. He couldn't help but remind her, "Be careful, this bottle costs six figures."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp and pleasant "crash" sound.
Translation: "..."
Bai He: “Ah~~~”
She looked at Yan Yi in panic, "Ah~~~"
Yan Yi held his forehead.
"what to do!"
What else can he do? She broke his bottles, teacups, cups and plates...not once or twice.
Anyway, no good thing can pass through her hands.
Bai He bent down to pick up the fragments, and Yan Yi quickly pulled her up, fearing that she would cut her hand.
"Is there any way to repair something this expensive? I'll pay for it and help you fix it."
No matter how expensive something is, it is not as valuable as her.
Yan Yi didn't allow her to touch the fragments, saying only, "No matter how well it's repaired, it's not the original look. Forget it, it's okay."
"Are you really okay?" Bai He looked at him anxiously, "Don't try to be so stubborn."
"What else can I do?" Yan Yi said helplessly, "Will you compensate me?"
"I can't afford to pay you back," she cried. "I can only offer you a sincere apology."
Yan Yi wanted to laugh, so he reached out and rubbed her head, then opened the wardrobe to change clothes.
He didn't avoid people, but just turned his back to her and took off his shirt. As he took off his clothes, his muscles twitched faintly under his cold white skin.
Turning sideways, he saw Bai He staring at him with wide eyes, so he turned around frankly and faced her. His abdominal muscles were in an incomparable perfect shape, with a mermaid line winding down, and his entire upper body supported his upright outline.
Bai He turned his head away with a flushed face: "You don't treat me as an outsider at all, right?"
Yan Yi smiled, his eyes as bright and clear as the sunshine after the rain: "There is no part of my body that you haven't seen. You are pretending to be shy. Isn't that too hypocritical?"
"I..." Bai He swallowed and said cunningly, "I didn't see it clearly. Even if I saw it, I forgot it."
"Oh?" He walked towards her shirtless. "Do you want to review it again to deepen your impression?"
"Don't come over here! Why are you suddenly so shameless?!"
Bai He quickly stood up from his office chair. Yan Yi was afraid that she would step on the broken vase on the ground, so he took her hand and pulled her back into his arms without saying anything: "Be careful."
“…”
All right.
Not only did she revisit her ex-boyfriend's abs, but she also accidentally touched them with her paws.
Yan Yi changed her clothes and took her to the hospital's underground garage to drive.
He wore a Klein blue and white sweatshirt with a lining layered over it, and a baseball cap on his head.
This youthful outfit reminded Bai He of their college days when they were in love.
Yan Yi now looks more like a college student than he did back then, especially with the black earring hanging on his ear. He doesn't look like an expert doctor at all!
"Hayi, has no patient ever doubted your professionalism as a doctor?"
"have."
"Really?"
"You."
“…”
"It's mainly because of your current style, which is very lively." Bai He watched him take off his baseball cap and put on his hoodie. "If I hadn't seen his face, I would have thought it was Qi Lang."
"Your Qi can no longer be the same as before." Yan Yi pressed the car key, and the doors of a pure black Bentley car with a starting price of one million slowly opened from both sides. He walked towards her and got in, fastening her seat belt.
"What do you mean by my seven..."
"Isn't it? You two were so sweet when you were in love? You even wore matching outfits." Yan Yi said expressionlessly as he started the car engine. "He shows off his affection every day on WeChat Moments, but it's only visible to me."
“…”
Bai He was speechless.
"He came to the United States to see me last year."
She looked at him in surprise.
The man drove out of the underground parking lot, his eyes staring calmly ahead. "No doctor in China dared to touch his injured left leg. The shrapnel was almost crushed in the knee joint."
Her hands suddenly clenched, causing wrinkles on the hem of her skirt, but her expression remained calm: "It's... serious."
"I performed surgery on him for 32 hours and was able to save his leg."
"Did he tell you what happened?"
"It was his brother who did it. He was imprisoned in Southeast Asia and later escaped. He was chased by a group of armed mercenaries through the rainforest for three days and three nights. He got injured that time. He hid in a secluded ravine, eating insects and drinking dew for over ten days. When he was found by the locals... he was almost dead."
Bai He could roughly guess from the fragmentary news information sent to her by her colleagues that she would have a terrible experience, but she didn't expect it to be... so terrifying.
She couldn't help but shiver slightly.
Yan Yi reached out and gently covered the back of her hand.
"He's Seventh Master now. He doesn't smile much, and his personality is a bit strange and gloomy. I helped him regain his ability to walk, and he spent three months recuperating in the United States. I haven't seen him talk to many people. In short, he has changed a lot."
The girl couldn't hold back any longer, and a few tears fell on the back of his hand.
Scorching, scalding.
Yan Yi withdrew his hand and drove seriously.
She turned her head and looked at the wet night scene of street lights outside the window, feeling a sense of unreality as if she were in another world.
"Don't be too sad." Yan Yi turned the steering wheel and drove onto the highway. "Seventh Master has far more than he lost. His current wealth is worth hundreds of billions."
"Even if I had a trillion or a million, I'd rather he didn't have to go through this..."
Bai He calmed down and wiped her red eyes with a tissue. "It was me who made him stay and didn't even give him a chance to choose. That's why he had to go through all this... Xiao Qi doesn't know how much he hates me now."
"He really does hate you." Yan Yi said suddenly, "You'd better stay away from him. Don't meet him. I'm afraid he will really kill you."
Bai He's sadness disappeared, and she glanced at him: "That's... not the case."
Yan Yi shrugged. "He said it himself. When his leg injury heals and he returns home, the first thing he'll do is cripple his heartless ex-girlfriend's leg and then lock her in a cage with that most annoying little mouse."
“!!!”
"The cages are already built. They're made of stainless steel."
Bai He covered her mouth and looked at him in horror——
"Depend on!"
