Mind, a mess. Soon, but the sound of steady breathing came from the ears. Beside him, he had obviously fallen asleep. It was only then that Zi Ge’s tense body finally loosened up a bit and slowly opened her eyes.
The moonlight outside the window, like a thin veil, draped in. Vaguely, you can see his three-dimensional silhouette, hard and perfect lines. Unable to help himself, he raised his hand, and his fingers greedily scratched over his impeccable features.
She liked the distance of being within reach, but she couldn’t help a circle of obscurity rippling through her heart …
He moved suddenly.
Zige was so shocked that she wanted to draw back her hand, but he had already clasped her hand and held it in his hand. Could it be that she woke him up?
“Don’t make a fuss …,” but he didn’t open his eyes, just lazily spilled out a sentence from between his lips. The other large empty palm patted her slender back, his voice soft like coaxing a child, “Good boy, sleep.”
That sound, like spring rain into the heart, tingling, soft, but also astringent.
The corners of her eyes, slightly damp. She gently leaned into his arms and closed her eyes.
Lan Yu Feng …
With a soft sigh, she greedily claimed his scent.
Overnight, Zige slept very, very lightly. Therefore, in the early morning, she heard clearly the movement of Lan Yu Feng getting up. However, she still just tensed her body and pretended not to wake up.
It wasn’t until his footsteps faded from the room that she slowly opened her eyes. Frozen, she looked at the already whitened window, a little lost in thought.
The cell phone, which was resting on the bedside, snapped back to her attention when it rang at first. Somewhat disheveled, she clutched the covers and half-sat up, barely perking up when she saw it was Suje’s call.
“Why so early?”
“It’s still early? You are not working, even your routine has changed. Don’t sleep, hurry and come to the hospital.”
“What’s wrong?” Ziggy, still a bit dazed, stroked her slightly distended brow.
“Come report to work and get your work clothes back. The head nurse just said so, so you can come back to work.” Xi Sujie was on the other end, more excited than the person in question, Zige.
Ziggy blinked, a little confused.
It took a moment to snap out of it, “I can go back to work?”
“Yes, we’ll be coworkers again from now on!” Xi Sujie was excited.
Zige smiled openly with delight, feeling much brighter, “I’ll be right there. Let’s not chat for now, we’ll talk when we arrive.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you!”
Hanging up the phone, Zi Ge couldn’t be bothered to be sad anymore, lifted the covers, and just rummaged through the cupboard for clothes to put on. The first interview hadn’t been this exciting!
The Lord sent word and recalled her. Naturally everything couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The head nurse rescheduled the shifts and posted them on the information board. Xi Su Jie and Zi Ge went over to look at it arm in arm, and after looking at their own schedules and then looking at Zi Ge’s, the corners of their lips twitched.
“Head nurse, you’re bullying Zige, aren’t you? How come you gave her a month’s worth of late shifts?” Soojung was upset for her friend. “Is this palatable?”
“Why it’s not enough to eat. Isn’t there nothing for her to do during the day?” The head nurse, of course, wouldn’t say that she had taken orders from the top and had to line up that way.
“That’s never good to be black and white.”
Zige tugged at Sujie, “There’s nothing wrong with it, I’ll just pretend I’m living abroad.”
Xi Sujie glared at her, “You’re thinking out loud.” She lowered her voice again, “This is obviously targeting you, look, after scheduling so many times, when has there been this kind of perverted scheduling?”
“I’m amitabha and thank God that I can come back to work now, why do I still care so much.” Because she had lost, Zige exceptionally cherished the opportunity now. Su Jie thought about it and had no choice but to say nothing more.
The two were chatting about a new patient, how he bullied the interns, and how he slapped them, when Zige’s cell phone happened to ring. She scanned the screen, it was that all-too-familiar string of numbers, and her face sank slightly.
“What? You don’t want to take it?” Xi Sujie favored her.
“… no.”
“A fight?”
A fight?
“Not really.” They hadn’t even said a word since yesterday’s incident. What was there to talk about a fight?
Xi Sujie shook her head and tsked, “Can’t figure you guys out. Sadistic love!”
“Still talking about me, so you and Su Chen aren’t in an abusive relationship?” Zige blocked back.
“Come on, I won’t talk about you.” Xi Sujie surrendered and glanced at the still ringing cell phone, “Hurry up and answer it.”
After hesitating, Zige finally picked up the phone. Only when it was pressed to her ear, she heard Lan Yu Feng’s low voice ringing in her ears, “What took you so long to answer the phone.”
“Oh, I can’t get to the phone because I was just at the head nurse’s.” She replied with a fake smile.
“Already at the hospital?”
“Uh-huh. I’ve started work today.” She raised her tone as if nothing had happened, all clarity.
Over there, Lan Yu Feng locked his brows. Yesterday’s dinner, her own sudden disappearance and coming back so late, she should have at least questioned her twice.
Now, she has this attitude because she doesn’t care?
“Tonight, you …”
“I’m on the late shift tonight, I’m not going back, so help me talk to the kid.” Zige cut him off directly, and then, in a hurry, said, “There’s a patient over there calling me, so I won’t talk to you for now. Contact again.”
“Menzie Ge!” He hated her attitude like this. It was clear that she was avoiding her.
However, Zige didn’t give him a chance and had disconnected the call without hesitation. After hanging up the phone, she let out a breath and obscurely put the phone away in her bag. Once she looked up and touched Su Jie’s gleaming line of sight, she barely managed to squeeze out a smile, “What’s up?”
“What is the relationship between you … and him, what is it now?”
She spread her hands, her heart is trembling, but her face is pretending to be relaxed, “It’s okay.” Besides… bed…..
For three days in a row, late at night, when Lan Yu Feng came home, as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he couldn’t see that familiar figure.
Tonight, he was a little grossed out.
“Butler, where is she!”
He walked out and asked. The color of his face was ironic. The housekeeper was startled and hurriedly answered respectfully, “Madame left at eight in the evening, saying she was working the late shift tonight.”
“Late shift?!” Great, she’s been working the late shift for three days in a row! This woman, is she intentionally messing with him?
“Call over and tell her to come back immediately.” He instructed the butler.
The housekeeper had a difficult look on his face, “Actually, just now the young master has already called. Madame turned off her phone.”
“Daddy.” Seeming to have disturbed the child, Little Bean pulled the door open a thin crack and poked his little head out to look at him.
“Still awake?” His face eased a little at the sight of the child.
Little Bean shook his little head, “Couldn’t sleep.” .
“What’s wrong?” Lan Yu Feng walked over and stroked the top of the child’s head. The little guy, however, stretched out his arm and suddenly hugged his left leg, “Daddy, did you and mommy fight again?”
With a start, he replied curtly, “No.”
“Daddy lied, Mommy must be mad at Daddy.”
“Why is she angry?”
“Daddy is in love with Auntie Xi!” Speaking of this, Little Bean raised his little face a little angrily to look at his father, “Daddy likes Auntie Xi and doesn’t like Mommy.”
“Who is all this with you?” It’s just nonsense!
The housekeeper, listening to Little Douzi’s words from the side, also felt a cold sweat. How can today’s children say anything?
“Little Bean knows for herself.” The little thing tugged at his brow in an old-fashioned manner, “That day you left me and Mommy behind, you were in love with Auntie Xi.”
Lan Yu Feng lifted his lips, wanting to say something, but was immediately snatched white by the little thing righteously, “Mommy and I saw it all, daddy don’t want to renege!”
See?
So she saw the image of herself with her arms around Su Xi? She misunderstood just like the kid? If that’s the case, why didn’t she ever call to ask him?
“You don’t think nonsense.” Lan Yu Feng turned his head and said to the housekeeper, “Put the child to bed, I’m going out.”
“Is Daddy going to Mommy to apologize?” Little Thing asked, following up.
Apologize?
He paused, “Children should not worry about grown-ups.”
The hospital, shrouded in the dead of night, was especially quiet.
Once again, Ziggy clutched her book as she made rounds and took notes. Helping patients remove needles.
As he walked out of the hospital room, he stood in the window position and looked out at a streetlight lit up in the garden. In such a night, it was so quiet that it made one’s heart feel desolate.
Haven’t seen him for three days since then …
She didn’t ask about that day either, and he didn’t have any explanation.
Even when she didn’t go back for three nights and just asked the butler to take a message, he never called her. At first, she would always be unable to resist pulling out her cell phone and checking it, and she would even have a hallucination that it was always ringing.
But, wait until you escape, in fact …
On the cell phone, there wasn’t even a short message.
At that time, there was not even a trace of expectation left in the heart. Just like what he said himself, there is nothing between them, the explanation … for them is just redundant …
was rambling on, completely oblivious to the sound of footsteps behind her. It was only when the man’s cool breath covered her from behind that she snapped to attention.
This bed partner when too provincial is thinking nonsense, completely did not notice the sound of footsteps behind. The man’s cool breath from the back covered up, she only suddenly startled. Turned around, at first crashed into the iron chest. Taking a step back, she leaned her back against the windowsill.
“What are you … doing here?” Her jaw dropped as she fixed him in front of her.
“Nothing to ask me?” He looked flat, unable to read his emotions.
At his question, Zige slightly lowered her eyes, “No.”
“If you’re okay, go, I’m going to be busy.” She finished, sidestepped, and crossed over to him to try to leave. Her wrist, however, was suddenly clasped by him. With a single push, he held her down against the window. He didn’t move closer, just frowned slightly at her, “What’s the temper tantrum?”
She was already feeling upset, and the fact that he asked her as if she was being unreasonable made her feel more and more aggrieved.
“I’m not making a scene.” She tried to shake off his hand, but he clasped it tightly and wouldn’t let her break away. She got annoyed, “Lan Yu Feng, I’m at work! If you don’t let go, I’m going to call someone!”
Looking at her, he slowly loosened his hand. However, he spoke in a deep voice, “You don’t want to know about Su Xi and I?”
Ziggy’s heart sank.
“Don’t bother talking to me, I don’t want to know anything about it …”
He never had the habit of explaining, since she did not want to hear, he even less to do more explanation. Just looked at her, her eyes complex and difficult to understand, following, in a deep voice, changed the topic, “You’ve been working night shifts for so many days in a row?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Little Bean won’t see you and will think we’re fighting again.”
Turns out he only came to the hospital specifically to find himself because of the baby …
Zige’s hand, which was holding the transcript, tightened slightly. Glancing at him before saying, “It’s okay, I’ll explain it to him.”
